Isolation and Characterization of P. multocida

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The P. multocida P0910 strain used in this study was isolated from dead yaks in Qilian County, Qinghai Province. Pasteurella multocida was cultured in Trypticase Soy Broth (TSB) at 37 °C under constant shaking and the concentration of the bacterial solution was determined by plate counting. E. coli DH5α competent cells were purchased from Sangon (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). E. coli DH5α recombinant strains were screened on plates of Luria–Bertani (LB) medium supplemented with 100 μg/mL ampicillin. The pEX18AP plasmid was obtained from Dr Qingmin Wu, China Agricultural University.

Bisulfite Sequencing of miR-608 CpG Islands

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the methylation state of CpG‐islands close to miR‐608 transcription start site (TSS) in PCa cells, bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP) was utilized. Forward primer 5′‐TATTTTATTTTTTAAGTTGGGTTAGG‐3′ and reverse primer 5′‐CCCTCCAACATCCTAAACAATC‐3′ were adopted to amplify the identified CpG‐island DNA sequence. Amplified PCR products were isolated, purified, and inserted into pUC18‐T vectors constructed by Sangon. Correct insertion of the CpG‐island sequence was verified by blue‐white screen of E.coli DH5α competent cells (Sangon), and 10 positive single colonies were sequenced by BSP (Sangon).
PC3 cells were treated with 5 μmol/L 5‐aza‐2′‐deoxycytidine (Sigma Aldrich) for 72 hours. Later RNA of PC3 cells was extracted and miR‐608 was quantified as per the section qRT‐PCR.

Lentiviral Overexpression and Knockdown of Key Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flag-CRIP1, empty vector and shRNA plasmids were purchased from Youbio Biological Technology (Changsha, China). The full-length coding sequence of CRIP1 was inserted into pCDH-EF1-MCS-T2A-Puro. shRNAs targeting CRIP1, PSME4 and USP7 were purchased from OBiO Technology (Shanghai, China). Endotoxin-free transfection-grade plasmid DNA was amplified in E. coli DH5α Competent Cells (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) and purified with the EndoFree Midi Plasmid Kit (TIANGEN, Beijing, China). Lentiviruses were constructed using psPAX2 and pMD2G and transfected into HEK293T cells with Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, USA), harvested after 48 or 72 h, and concentrated through ultracentrifugation (20,000×g, 2.5 h, 4 °C). The lentivirus was added to 1 × 106 cells along with 8 mg/mL polybrene in a 12-well plate, and stable cells were selected after 72 h using puromycin (60210es25, Yeasen, China) and geneticin (G418; Selleck, USA). The levels of CRIP1 were confirmed using RT-qPCR and western blotting. shRNA sequences are listed as follows: CRIP1-shRNA (5′-AGCACGAAGGCAAACCCTACT-3′); PSME4-shRNA (5′-GCAACTAGTAAATCTCTTTGC-3′); and USP7-shRNA (5′-GTGTCCTATATCCAGTGTAAA-3′).

Cultivation and Manipulation of B. choshinensis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B. choshinensis strain HB116 (Takara Bio, Inc.) was used in this study. E. coli DH5α competent cells (Sangon Biotech Co, Ltd.) were used for DNA manipulation. pNCMO2 (Takara Bio, Inc.) and pMD19-T (Takara Bio, Inc.) were used as the vector and subcloning plasmid, respectively. Milk-Tween (MT) medium containing 2% yeast extract, 10% glucose, 10% polypeptone, 5% meat extract, 0.01 % FeSO4·7H2O, 0.001% ZnSO4·6H2O and 0.01% MnSO4·4H2O was used to culture strain HB116. E. coli DH5α cells were cultured in Luria Broth medium (Oxoid; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). NaOH was used to adjust the pH of all media to 7.0. Neomycin (20 µg/ml; Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co, Ltd.) was added to the media used to culture bacteria containing pNCMO2 and derivatives.

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.
