Lentiviral Overexpression of HRP3 in HepG2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HepG2 (ATCC HB-8065) and HEK293T human embryonic kidney cells (ATCC #CRL-11268) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Stable overexpression of wild-type or mutant HRP3 in HepG2 cells was performed using FUGW lentiviral constructs expressing wild-type or mutant HRP3. Lentiviral vector infections (47 (link)) and plasmid transfections (48 (link)) were performed as previously described. Overexpression efficiency was determined by western blot.
The lentiviral vector containing wild-type HRP3 was constructed by inserting the HRP3 AgeI/EcoRI fragment amplified from the Puc57 vector (Sangon Biotech) into the AgeI/EcoRI-digested FUGW vector (Addgene). HRP3 mutants were generated by two-step PCR mutagenesis. All constructs were verified by sequencing.

Sequence of lncNSPL (Gene number: 105370355,accession: XR_007083671), RIG-I and TRIM25 genes were obtained from the NCBI database. The lncNSPL plasmid construction process is divided into two steps. In the first step, the full length of lncNSPL was synthesized and cloned into pUC57 vector (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). And then the full-length lncNSPL was cloned into the pcDNA3.1 eukaryotic expression vector and the retroviral vector GV367 by molecular cloning techniques, respectively. In this retroviral vector construct, lncNSPL transcribed was from RNA Pol II promoter of retroviral vectors GV367. Coding sequences of RIG-I and TRIM25 were cloned into pCDNA3.1 vector containing HA and Flag tags, respectively (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai). HA-tagged truncated structures of RIG-I were generated by standard molecular biology methods. Myc-Ub-K63 structure was a gift from Dr. Q. Zhang (Zhejiang University, China). Full-length lncNSPL was cloned in retroviral vectors GV367 for stable expression in THP-1 cells. LV10 lentiviral vector expressing control shRNA against RFP or shRNA targeting lncNSPL were obtained from Gene Pharma (Shanghai, China).
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were designed and synthesizeds by GenePharma (Shanghai, China). The transfection of plasmids or siRNAs were performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

In this study, a total of 7 MST indicators were determined, including mtDNA of horse, chicken, cow, human, dog, pig, and sheep. Moreover, 16Sr DNA was determined to calculate the relative abundance of MST indicators. All premiers of target genes are shown in Table S1. Quantification was conducted with a real-time qPCR instrument (ABI QuantStudio®3, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The plasmids containing the MST indicator fragments were constructed with the pUC57 vector (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) and used for the standard curves.
The 20 μL reactions contained 8.2 μL ddH2O, 0.4 μL forward and reverse primer, 10 μL SYBR Premix Ex TaqTM (Tli RNaseH Plus, TaKaRa, Japan), and 1.0 μL sediment DNA. The following reaction program was run as follows: initial denaturation (2 min at 95 °C), followed by 40 cycles consisting of 10 s at 95 °C, annealing (30 s at annealing temperature described in Table S2), extension (45 s at 72 °C), and a final extension (6 min at 72 °C). Each reaction was run in triplicate for each sample, and sterile water was used as the blank control.

PUC57 vector with the truncated CiSA32.6 (CiSA32.6t) gene (852 bp) was synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. A set of oligonucleotides, 5′-TAGGATCCGAGAAAAAACTGCAGTTG-3′ and 5′-GCGAATTCTCAAGTAGAGGTAACTTC-3′ (the underlined letters indicate BamH I and EcoR I recognition sites, respectively) and the recombinant plasmid pUC57/CiSA32.6 were used respectively as the primers and the template DNA to amplify the CiSA32.6t by PCR. The purified PCR product and pET28a were doubly digested by BamH I and EcoR I (TAKARA, Dalian, China), respectively. Then, the two products were ligated together and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21.
E. coli containing plasmid pET28a/CiSA32.6t was cultured in liquid LB medium at 37℃ until OD600nm reached between 0.3 and 0.5. E. coli was induced to express rCiSA32.6t by the addition of isopropylthio-β-D-galactoside (IPTG) (Sangon, Shanghai, China) and incubation for another 6 h at 25℃. rCiSA32.6t was purified by metal affinity chromatography using Ni+2-NTA Sepharose (Sangon) according to the instructions from the manufacturer. The purified protein was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and western blotting analysis.

To generate the inducible GFP (iGFP) control vector, GFP sequence was amplified from pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1α-CopGFP vector with primers carrying SalI digest sites, then cloned into SalI digested pCDH-induce vector. To generate iCAR19 transfer vector, the CD19CAR fragment was synthesized with SalI sites at both ends (Sangon Biotech) and ligated into the SalI digested pCDH-induce vector.

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.
