Investigating PDI Proteins in ATF6 Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T-Rex (Invitrogen) cells were cultured in complete DMEM (CellGro) supplemented with 10% FBS (CellGro) and penicillin/streptomycin (CellGro). Lentiviruses encoding a mix of shRNAs that are either non-silencing or directed against PDIA1, PDIA3, PDIA4, PDIA5, or PDIA6 were transduced into HEK293T-Rex with 1–5 mL of virus in media containing 5 mg/mL polybrene (see Supplementary File 1 for lentivirus production methods). Stable cell lines were selected by culturing in puromycin (5 μg/mL) before characterization. The expression of the ATF6 target gene BiP in cells treated with 147 (10 μM) or thapsigargin (0.5 μM) was then measured by qPCR as described previously.

BSC-1 (ATCC CCL-26), CV-1 (ATCC CCL70), HEK 293T (ATCC CRL-11268) and A549 (ATCC CCL-185) cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified minimal essential medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and penicillin/streptomycin (50 μg/ml). RK-13 (ATCC CCL-37) and TK-143 (ATCC CRL-8303) cells were grown in minimum essential medium (MEM) and supplemented as above. HeLa (ATCC CCL-2) cells were grown in MEM with addition of non-essential amino acids (1%) and supplemented as above. HEK 293 Trex (Invitrogen) cells were maintained in DMEM containing 10 μg/ml blasticidin, 100 μg/ml zeocin and supplemented as above.

Establishment of HEK 293 Trex Clones Expressing Protein 169

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK 293 Trex (Invitrogen) empty cells were transfected with 169 (pcDNA4 TO) using TransIT-LT1. Transfected cells were selected in the presence of zeocin and were serially diluted to obtain individual clones. Expression of protein 169 within these clones were analyzed by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. In the chosen clone at least 90% of cells were expressing protein 169.

Stable Cell Line Generation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa, HEK293 T-REx (Invitrogen) as well as SW480 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM/GE Healthcare) including 10% foetal bovine serum (Thermo Scientific) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Scientific) in a humidified environment with 5% CO2. Stable cell lines were generated using the piggybac transposon system [32 (link)]. Positive clones were picked after puromycin selection (Santa Cruz 1 µg/mL). Quantification of gels and Western blots was performed with ImageJ. P values were calculated by the Student’s t test. Statistical significance: *p ≤ 0.05; **p ≤ 0.01; ***p ≤ 0.001.

HEK293T-REx (Invitrogen)
cells were cultured
in DMEM (CellGro) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (CellGro)
and 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (CellGro). HEK293T-REx cells
were cultured in 5 mg/mL blasticidin (InvivoGen) to maintain the tet
repressor. HEK293T-REx cells were transiently transfected using calcium
phosphate. Stable, clonal HEK293T-REx cell lines were selected from
transiently transfected populations using 500 μg/mL G-418 sulfate
(Cellgro) for cells expressing pcDNA-DEST40 or pTREx-DEST30 vectors.
All stable cell lines were maintained in the appropriate selective
antibiotics.

Establishment of Inducible Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293 (HEK293 T-Rex purchased from Invitrogen) and HaCat cells (purchased from Cell Line Service) were cultivated in DMEM (PAN-Biotech) supplemented with 10% (Fetal Calf Serum) FCS (PAN-Biotech) and Penicillin/Streptomycin (HyClone). Medium for MDA-MB486 (purchased from ATCC) was further supplemented with non-essential amino acids (HyClone). Cells were kept at 37 °C, 5% CO 2 in a humidified atmosphere. For transient transfection experiments 1 × 10 4 HEK293 cells per well were seeded into polyethyleneimine (PEI)-coated [39] (link) transparent 96-well plates, incubated for 24 h at 37 °C, and transfected with TurboFect (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer's instructions with 10 ng reporter plasmid per well. For the generation of stable cell lines, HaCat or MDA-MB486 cells were transfected with pGVL8 constructs using the piggy bac transposon system [38] (link). After 48 h cells were selected with 1.5 µM puromycin added to the normal growth medium. Positive clones were picked after puromycin selection. Clones were tested for induction with 100 µM benzylideneacetone and selected for low basal NlucP levels and high induction rate. For more information on stable cell lines see S1 Table.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
