Generating mCherry-Rab25 HeLa Cell Line

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against sortilin (Abcam, ab16640, 1:1000), rabbit monoclonal antibody against chlamydial protease/chaperone protein, CtHtrA (Huston et al., 2008 (link)) and mouse monoclonal antibodies against beta-actin (Merck Millipore, MAB1501, 1:1000) were used. Secondary antibodies were purchased from Molecular Probes (Life Technologies) and Li-Cor Bioscience. mCherry-Rab25 was obtained by performing restriction digest using restriction enzymes BamHI and EcoRI on GFP-Rab25 (Casanova et al., 1999 (link)) to obtain the open reading frame of Rab25 and subcloned into mCherry-C1 following standard protocols. Stably expressing mCherry-Rab25 HeLa cells were generated by transient transfection of mCherry-Rab25 into HeLa cells using Lipofectamine 2000 as per manufacturer's instruction (Invitrogen). Transfected cells were selected using 400 µg/ml of G418 over a period of 14 days to generate stable cell lines expressing mCherry-Rab25. pGIPZ small hairpin RNA (shRNA) plasmids (Thermo Scientific) used included non-silencing control shRNA: RHS4346; human sortilin shRNAs (shRNA #1: V2LHS_31931, shRNA #2: V2LHS_31928, shRNA #3: V3LHS_359770, shRNA #4: V3LHS_359767, shRNA #5: V3LHS_359771) were supplied by the Institute for Molecular Bioscience Life Science Automation (LISA) Facility.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lenti-X 293 T cells (Clontech, 632180) were seeded on 100 mm dishes and transfected with psPAX2 packaging plasmid (6 μg), pMD2.G envelope plasmid (2 μg), and GPIZ constructs (8 μg, green fluorescent protein (GFP), carrying either control (Dharmacon, RHS4346) or Fgf11-targeting shRNA using TurboFect (Thermo Scientific, R0531) following the manufacturer’s instructions. To prevent off-target effects, 2 different shRNA plasmids targeting both A and B isoforms of Fgf11 (Dharmacon, VGM5520-200406248 and VGM5520-200407071) were selected after testing 6 different shRNA plasmids for mouse Fgf11. Culture medium containing lentiviruses was harvested and filtered through 0.45 μm syringe filters (Millipore, SLHV033RS) as previously described [29 (link)]. To obtain concentrated viruses, 4 successive rounds of ultracentrifugation were carried out in the same ultra-clear centrifuge tubes (Beckman, 344058) at 43,000 × g for 120 min at 4 °C [30 (link)]. After final centrifugation, pellets were gently resuspended in saline. The titers of lentiviral stocks were determined by flow cytometry [31 (link)]; that of control virus was 6.76 × 1010 and that of shFgf11-expressing lentivirus was 6.62 × 1010 IU/ml. The concentrated viruses were aliquoted and stored at − 80 °C.

Plexin-B2 Knockdown Using GIPZ Lentivirus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Stable knockdown of Plexin-B2 was achieved with GIPZ lentiviral vectors expressing shRNA against Plexin-B2, along with GFP and Puromycin resistance markers (Thermo Scientific, RHS4430-100986735 (shRNA PB2#1) and RHS4430-100989559 (shRNA PB2#2)). A GIPZ vector with non-targeting shRNA served as control (Thermo Scientific RHS4346). Lentiviral particles were produced with 293T cells co-transfected with GIPZ plasmid, envelope plasmid pMD2.G, and packaging plasmid psPAX2 (Addgene plasmids 12259 and 12260; deposited by Didier Trono, EPFL Lausanne). Stable GIPZ sublines were established by Puromycin (1 μg/ml) selection.

Cells were lysed with SDS lysis buffer (1% SDS, 10 mM EDTA, 1x EDTA-free protease inhibitors) and protein concentration was determined by the bicinchoninic acid assay method (BCA, Pierce) according to the manufacturer protocol. Samples were boiled for 5 min after the addition of 6 ×x Laemmli buffer (9% SDS and 60% glycerol, 375 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 0.015% Bromophenol blue, 12% β-mercaptoethanol). Proteins were separated for 2 hr on a 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gel using a Bio-Rad mini-PROTEAN electrophoresis apparatus, transferred to low-fluorescence PVDF membranes (Millipore) for 2 hr at 4°C at a constant 70 V in 25 mM Tris, 150 mM glycine, and 10% (vol/vol) methanol transfer buffer, blocked with Odyssey Blocking Buffer (OBB, LI-COR Biosciences) for 1 hr at room temperature, and probed with 1:1000 dilution of mouse monoclonal anti-SCD antibody (ab19862; Abcam) in OBB overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS-T, membranes were incubated with fluorescent goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (926-32210; LI-COR Biosciences) at 1:15000 in OBB for 1 hr at room temperature. Signal was detected using an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences). To ensure antibody specificity, shRNA knockdown of SCD1 was performed with two independent shRNA constructs (V3LHS_305870 and V3LHS_305872; Open Biosystems) and compared with non-silencing shRNA construct (RHS4346; Open Biosystems).

4E3 and I42 cells were cultured in RPMI medium. Rela−/− MEFs, HT29, Ripk1−/− 3T3, and 3T3-SA cells were cultured in DMEM medium. Ten percent fetal calf serum (FCS), 2 mM glutamine, 100 units/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin were added to the media. HCT116 cells overexpressing RIPK3-GFP and SW480 cells overexpressing RIPK3 were generated in our previous study (57 (link)). RIPK1-knockdown Rela−/− MEFs were generated as described before (58 (link)). pGIPZ/puro vector carrying shRNA against mouse Ripk1 (Open Biosystems, V2LMM_9240) was used. Non-silencing scrambled shRNA pGIPZ vector was used as control (Open Biosystems, RHS4346). N-terminally HA-tagged RIPK1 was cloned into a modified lentiviral tet-on pTRIPZ/Puro vector. Site-directed mutagenesis was performed to generate asparagine mutants. Ripk1−/− 3T3 cells were transduced by lentivirus encoding wild type RIPK1 or these mutants and selected by puromycin as described before (58 (link)). Dead cell medium was generated by subjecting 3 or 6 × 106 cells to five times freeze-thaw cycles, resuspending the dead cells with 3 ml of fresh RPMI medium (5 and 10% of 20 × 106 cells/ml), and then removing cell debris by centrifugation and filtration. The medium was used to culture cells.

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.
