Prl tk renilla reporter plasmid

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in United States

The PRL-TK Renilla reporter plasmid is a laboratory tool that can be used to measure Renilla luciferase activity. Renilla luciferase is a bioluminescent protein that emits light when catalyzed by its substrate. The PRL-TK plasmid contains the Renilla luciferase gene under the control of a promoter, allowing for the expression and detection of Renilla luciferase in various experimental systems.

Transient transfection and reporter assays were carried out in serum starved SMCs with the indicated reporter plasmids using Fugene6 transfection reagent (Roche) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The level of promoter activity was evaluated by measurement of firefly luciferase activity. pRL-TK Renilla reporter plasmid (Promega) was co-transfected as an internal control. Luciferase activity was measured by using the Dual Luciferase Assay System and Glomax Multi detection system as described by the manufacturer (Promega). pGL3-CyclinD1 reporter vector was a kind gift from Dr. J J Molenaar (Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and has been described [22] (link). To increase basal CyclinD1, serum-starved SMCs were stimulated with FCS. Cells were pre-treated overnight with PD98059 at a final concentration of 25 µM. A minimum of three independent transfections were performed and all assays were repeated at least three times.

pmirGLO dual-luciferase miRNA target expression vector was purchased from Promega. Wild-type, mutant 1, mutant 2 or mutant 1 and mutant 2 3′ UTR of Stat1 gene fragments were synthesized by Twist Bioscience and cloned into the pmirGLO vector. Ythdf2f/f and Ythdf2cKO BMDMs were transfected with the pmirGLO reporter plasmids using a mouse macrophage nucleofector kit (VPA-1009, Lonza) with program Y-001 on a Nucleofector I device (Amaxa). The cells were collected for lysis 24 h after transfection. The mouse pGL4-Ythdf2 reporter plasmid was generated as previously described51 (link). Mouse Stat3 pcDNA3 plasmid was purchased from Addgene (8706). BMDMs were cotransfected with the pGL4-Ythdf2 reporter plasmid and Stat3 overexpression plasmids or an empty vector together with a pRL-TK Renilla reporter plasmid (Promega) for normalization of transfection efficiency. The cells were collected for lysis 24 h after transfection. Luciferase activity was quantified fluorimetrically with the dual-luciferase system (Promega).

Non-treated or treated bovine cells were transfected with the cyclinD1 or BIC Luciferase reporters, using electroporation (Neon kit, Invitrogen, Ref: MPK1096). Mouse cells were transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Ref: 11668019). Transfection efficiencies were normalized to Renilla activity by co-transfection of a pRL-TK Renilla reporter plasmid (Promega, Ref: E6241). Luciferase assays were performed 36h post-transfection using the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega, Ref: E1980) in a microplate luminometer. Relative luminescence was represented as the ratio Firefly/Renilla luminescence, compared with the corresponding empty vector control.

Cloning and Analyzing PDGFRB, PDGFD Promoters

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The promoter regions of PDGFRB and PDGFD were amplified and cloned into the pGL4-basic luciferase reporter vector (Promega). HEK293T cells purchased from ATCC were cotransfected with the pGL4-PDGFRB or pGL4-PDGFD reporter plasmid as well as with a p65-overexpression plasmid or empty vector. A pRL-TK Renilla reporter plasmid (Promega) was added to normalize transfection efficiency. The cells were harvested for lysis 24 h after transfection, and luciferase activity was quantified fluorimetrically with Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega). A p65 overexpression plasmid was used as previously described (33 (link)). Primer sequences for cloning the PDGFRB and PDGFD promoters were as follows: PDGFRB forward, 5′- CGGGGTACCCAAAGACCTGGCCAGGCCCCCTCT-3′; PDGFRB reverse, 5′-CCGCTCGAGCTGGCAGCCTCAGGAGCTCACACCA-3′; PDGFD forward, 5′- CCGCTCGAGCAAAGAGATTAGGAACTTTATTTCT-3′; and PDGFD reverse, 5′- CCCAAGCTTTGACGGGACAAACAACAGGTTGA -3′.

pGL3-IGF-2 promoter reporter plasmids (P3) were kindly provided by Dr P. Elly Holthuizen (Utrecht University, Utrecth, The Netherlands). IGF-2 promoter 4 region was inserted into the XhoI–HindIII restriction site of the pGL3 basic reporter vector (Promega). pRL-Tk Renilla reporter plasmid was purchased from Promega. Cells pretreated with cixutumumab for 6 days were seeded into 24 wells and then transfected with each reporter vectors and pRL-Tk vectors. Forty-eight hours after transfection, luciferase activity was measured using Dual-Glo Luciferase Assay System (Promega). Transfection efficiency was determined by normalizing the reporter activity with Renilla luciferase activity.

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.
