Stable Expression of HAI-2/SPINT2 in Glioma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Generation of the HAI‐2/SPINT2 expression plasmid was described previously.13 Briefly, the full‐length coding region for HAI‐2/SPINT2 was cloned into XbaI‐SalI sites of a pCI‐neo expression vector (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). An empty vector (mock) or SPINT2 expression plasmid was linearized and transfected into U87, U251, and T98G to establish clones stably expressing HAI‐2/SPINT2. To determine growth curves of the mock‐ or SPINT2‐transfected subline, triplicate 35‐mm dishes were seeded at 1 × 104 cells/3 mL growth medium and the number of viable cells was counted at the indicated time period.

VP64 and VP160 sequences containing 4 or 10 copies of the nucleotides encoding VP16 minimal transactivator sequence DALDDFDLDML18 (link) (Table S3) were synthesized (GenScript) and subcloned in the N-terminus of dCas9 in the pCI-neo vector (Promega). The dCas9. VP64-p65-Rta (VPR) construct19 (link) which served as the template for the various PCR amplifications was purchased from Addgene (#63,798; Cambridge, MA, USA). All VP-based constructs were subcloned into the pCI/neo expression vector (Promega) for uniformity. The Cas-effector with synthetic activation motif (SAM) targeting the mouse TIMP1 gene was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (sc-423402-ACT, Santa Cruz, CA, USA).

The construct pCIneo-SOCS3 was made by subcloning the human SOCS3 cDNA amplified from 786-O cells into the pCIneo expression vector (Promega, WI) as described previously [24 (link)]. The empty vector was used as a negative control. For pCIneo-SOCS3 vector and empty vector transfection, Lipofectamine LTX (Invitrogen, CA) was used according to the manufacturer's protocol. The transfected cells were kept at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 24 h until treatment.

Jurkat Cell Transfection Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Jurkat cells were obtained from ATCC and cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal calf serum, 2 mM glutamine, 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. All cells were cultured in a humidified incubator at 37° C and 5% CO2. The cells were passaged twice a week and used in between passages 5–20.
Jurkat cells (5×105 cells) were transiently transfected with 1 μg plasmid by electroporation (3 pulses of 1325 V x 10 ms, Neon, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) resulting in approximately 10–15% transfection efficiency. cDNAs encoding a EGFP-tagged dominant negative (DN)-MEK1 and DN-MEK5 [9 (link)] subcloned in a pCIneo expression vector (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) were used for transfection. A cDNA for EGFP subcloned in the same vector served as a negative control.

SNF2L and SNF2H cDNA Cloning

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human SNF2L cDNA comprising the entire open reading frame (+exon1/−exon13/+NLS) was amplified from a pcDNA3 expression plasmid64 (link) in a two-step process. The 5′ end of SNF2L cDNA was amplified with SNF2L-EcoRI-Fwd (5′-TAAGGAATTCATGGAGCA-3′) and SNF2L-XhoI-Rev-internal (5′-ACCTCTCGAGCTATGT-3′) primers, followed by purification of the PCR products, restriction digest by EcoRI and XhoI, and directional subcloning into the pBRIT-LoxP-NTAP and pBRIT-LoxP-CTAP retroviral plasmid vectors, which have been previously described65 (link). The remaining 3′ sequence of SNF2L was then subcloned non-directionally following amplification with SNF2L-XhoI-Fwd-internal (5′-ATAGCTCGAGAGGTAG-3′) and SNF2L-XhoI-Rev (5′-ATGCTCGAGGGATTTCACCTTCTTG-3′) primers and a restriction digest with XhoI. Similarly, SNF2H cDNA comprising the entire open reading frame was cloned into the pCI-neo expression vector (Promega Corp. Madison, WI, USA) then amplified with the SNF2H-BamHI-Fwd (5′-AAAAGGATCCATGTCGTCCGCGGCCGAGCC-3′) and SNF2H-XhoI-Rev (5′-AAAACTCGAGTAGTTTCAGCTTCTTTTTTCTTCC-3′) primers and directionally subcloned into the pBRIT-LoxP-NTAP and pBRIT-LoxP-CTAP vectors, following restriction digest with BamHI and XhoI. All clones were verified by sequencing at McGill University and Génome Québec Innovation Centre (Montreal, QC, Canada).

Cloning and Transfection of GRM3 Constructs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The open reading frames for GRM3, GRM3Δ4, and GRM3Δ4 with a C-terminal V5 tag (GRM3Δ4-V5) were cloned into the pCI-neo expression vector (Promega E1841) using EcoR1 and XbaI restriction sites. This vector uses the human cytomegalovirus promoter to drive constitutive expression in mammalian cells. Constructs were sequenced and corrected by site-directed mutagenesis (Stratagene 200523) prior to use for transfection of human embryonic kidney (HEK293T/17) cells. This cell line was chosen since it does not express endogenous mGlu3, confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (data not shown).

Human GRINL1A combined transcript 1 (Gcom1) cDNA was cloned using a single-tube reverse transcriptase PCR procedure, as previously described (Roginski et al., 2008 (link)). Human and rat Gcom15 cDNAs were cloned from adult brain mRNA as overlapping 5′ and 3′ segments using the Titan RT PCR system (Roche; Indianapolis, IN). The overlapping segments were combined by hybridization-extension PCR. The resulting large amplicons were ligated and transformed into competent E. coli using the TOPO-TA vector system (Invitrogen; Carlsbad, CA). Plasmid DNA aliquots from positive colonies were sequenced revealing intact open reading frames (ORFs) coding for 765 and 761 amino acids for human and rat Gcom15 respectively. The inserts were subcloned into the pCIneo expression vector (Promega; Madison, WI).

The pGag-EGFP plasmid used, codes for a Rev independent HIV-1 Gag protein fused in frame to the enhanced GFP (Hermida-Matsumoto and Resh, 2000). The plasmid from the NIH AIDS Reagent Program (Cat 11468) was constructed by cloning the Gag sequence from pCMV55M1–10 (Schwartz et al, 1992) into the pEGFP-N1 plasmid (Clonthec, Mountain View, CA).
The coding sequence for the GH-RVG fusion protein was constructed inserting the G-H loop 63 bp sequence of FMDV A/Arg/2001 strain, between the RV signal peptide and the N-term extreme of the glycoprotein. This 1650 bp fragment was then cloned in pCiNeo expression vector (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), obtaining the pCiNeo- GH-RVG fusion protein plasmid.

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.
