HEK293T, U2OS and CSM14.1 cells were grown in DMEM (Lonza) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Biowest). CMS14.1 cells were additionally grown in 0.1 mg/ml neomycin, 0.1 mg/ml hygromycin (Alfa Aesar), 4 μg/ml puromycin (Alfa Aesar) and 1 μg/ml doxycycline to maintain selection the CSM14.1 clonal cell lines. SCA3-Q23 or SCA3-Q70 expression was induced by the withdrawal of doxycycline (Cayman Chemical). ΔATXN3 U2OS cells were described before (16 (link)).
G1/S boundary synchronization was performed by treating cells with 2.5 mM thymidine (Merk-Millipore) for 24 h. Cells were treated with 60 μM CDC7i (PHA767491, Cayman Chemical Company) for 4 h, 80 mM sucrose (Merk-Millipore) for 30 min or 1 h, HDAC3 inhibitor RGFP966 2 μM (HY-13909, MedChemExpress) for 24 h and 20 μg/ml cycloheximide (CHX, Merck Millipore) for the indicated times.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lentiviral vector of Nrf2-shRNA (shNrf2) was packaged into virus particles by the method reported previously37 (link), which was provided by Sang-Min Jeon, Professor, College of Pharmacy, Ajou University (Gyeonggido, Rep. of Korea). 293T cells were transfected with a lentiviral vector using Lipofectamine® 2000 according to the recommended protocol on the Addgene website. Lentivirus-containing conditioned medium (LCCM) was aliquoted into 1 ml stock in each cryovial. Then, HeLa stable cells that do not express Nrf2 (tet-shNrf2, + Dox) were prepared as follows. Briefly, HeLa 1 × 105 cells were incubated in each well of the 6-well plate overnight. Cell culture in 500 μl medium of each well was mixed with 1 ml LCCM and 1.2 μl polybrene (Millipore TR-1003-G). Culture medium was changed with 2 ml fresh medium containing 250 μg/ml hygromycin (Cayman 14,291). The infected shNrf2-positive control cells (tet-shNrf2, -DOX) were selected by the treatment with hygromycin every 3 days. Nrf2-knockdown (KD) cells were obtained and maintained by the treatment with 0.2 μg/ml doxycycline (Cayman 14,422) every 2 days.

Lentiviral Transduction of F-Tractin for Actin Visualization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To visualize actin polymers in live cells after encapsulation in gel coatings while minimally impacting baseline cellular functions, the plasmid containing F‐tractin fused with the fluorescent gene tdTomato (a gift from Andrei Karginov, UIC) was cloned into the lentiviral vector pCW57.1 (a gift from David Root, Addgene plasmid #41393) for inducible expression in the presence of doxycycline. F‐tractin is known to selectively bind to polymerized F‐actin.[58] Lentiviral particles were produced with a second‐generation lentiviral packaging system (LV003, Applied Biological Materials) using a transfection reagent (Lentifectin, Applied Biological Materials) in HEK293T cells. Lentiviral particles were purified and applied to D1 MSCs at passage 5 with polybrene (8 µg mL−1; Sigma) for 3 days, followed by the selection of transduced cells by puromycin (5 µg mL−1; Sigma) for 7 days and sorting of tdTomato+ cells after doxycycline (500 ng mL−1; Cayman Chemical) treatment for 1 day.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MKP1- or GFP-overexpressing fibroblast lines were generated by infection with lentiviral particles containing pLVX-TetOne-Puro-hDUSP1 or pLVX-TetOne-Puro-eGFP (Addgene) plasmids. Stable inducible fibroblast lines capable of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of MKP1, p38α, and p38γ were generated via infection with lentiviral particles containing pLentiCRISPR v2 TLCV2 plasmids (Addgene no. 87360) controlling the following sgRNA sequences: DUSP1, 5′-CGTCCAGCAACACCACGGCG-3′; MAPK14, 5′-CACAAAAACGGGGTTACGTG-3′; and MAPK12, 5′-CTCATGAAACATGAGAAGCT-3′. The NT sequence 5′-AAATGTGAGATCAGAGTAAT-3′ (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A35526) was likewise incorporated into TLCV2 and used as a negative control. Polybrene (2 μg/mL, MilliporeSigma, TR-1003-G) or protamine sulfate (8 μg/mL, MilliporeSigma, P4020) was added to lentiviral suspensions to enhance transduction efficiency in MRC5 (normal fetal HLFs) and primary IPF cells, respectively, followed by puromycin selection (0.8 μg/mL) for 48–72 hours. Conditional overexpression or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of the aforementioned genes was achieved by addition of doxycycline (1 μg/mL, Cayman Chemicals) to conditioned medium.

Concentrated stock solutions for pentylenetetrazole (PTZ, Sigma), metformin (Cayman Chemical), doxycycline (Cayman Chemical), nifedipine (Cayman Chemical), and pyrantel tartrate (TargetMol) were made by dissolving each in either ddH2O (PTZ, doxycycline, metformin) or DMSO (nifedipine, pyrantel tartrate). 7 dpf (or 5 dpf, in the case of the doxycycline treatment experiments) zebrafish larvae were placed individually into separate wells of a 96‐well plate in fish water. All water in each well was carefully drawn off, and 250 μL 1X Ringer's Solution (116 mmol/L NaCl, 2.9 mmol/L KCl, 1.8 mmol/L CaCl2, and 5 mmol/L HEPES) was pipetted into the well. Lastly, small volumes of concentrated stock solutions of drug (or vehicle) were delivered to their respective groups to reach their final concentrations: 5 mmol/L PTZ, 2 μmol/L metformin, 10 μmol/L doxycycline, 12 μmol/L nifedipine, and 75 μmol/L pyrantel tartrate. Solutions were mixed by gently tapping the plate. The larvae were divided such that all five groups had approximately equal representation on every plate (from 10 to 20 embryos per treatment group per plate).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PC-3 human prostate carcinoma cell line was maintained in RPMI-1640 media (Gibco), and LNCaP human prostate carcinoma cell line was maintained in RPMI-1640 media (American Type Culture Collection). All media were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gemini Bio), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100ug/mL streptomycin, and cells were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cell lines were authenticated by Genetica DNA Laboratories (Burlington, NC). The constitutively-active and inducible SBP1 expression constructs were introduced via transfection using Continuum™ Transfection Reagent (Gemini Bio) into PC-3 cells, and PC-3 cells that were previously infected with the tetracycline trans-activator (TETON) construct (11 (link)), respectively. The same reagent was also used for the transfection of plasmids into LNCaP cells. Transfected cells were selected in 500ug/mL G418 (Sigma-Aldrich), and expanded and screened for SBP1 expression by western blotting and qRT-PCR using SBP1 forward primer (5’-CCAAAGCTGCACAAGGTCAT-3’), SBP1 reverse primer (5’- CATCCAGCAGCACAAAACCC-3’), RPLP0 forward primer (5’- CCTCGTGGAAGTGACATCGT-3’), and RPLP0 reverse primer (5’- CTGTCTTCCCTGGGCATCAC-3’). Ectopic expression of SBP1 was induced following incubation with 0.5ug/mL doxycycline or 0.05ug/mL anhydrochlortetracycline-HCl (Cayman Chemical) for 48–72 hours.

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.
