Production of Modified mRNA via IVT

Template DNA was generated by linearizing the aforementioned plasmids using I-SceI endonuclease (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) before IVT with the MEGAscript T7 Transcription Kit (Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA). Post-transcriptional modifications were applied using the ScriptCap m7G Capping System, 2′-O-Methyltransferase Kit, and the A-Plus Poly(A) Polymerase Tailing Kit (CELLSCRIPT, Madison, WI, USA). All mRNAs were purified with the RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) after IVT and after each modification. For production of modified mRNA, the uridine nucleotide was completely replaced by N1-methylpseudouridine (tebu-bio, Boechout, Belgium) during IVT. Correct translation of EGFP-encoding IVT mRNAs and pDNA was verified after transfection of baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells using Lipofectamine MessengerMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and subsequent evaluation using the Nikon Eclipse Ti-S fluorescent microscope (Nikon, Leuven, Belgium).

DNA Double-Strand Break Repair Assay

DNA DSB repair reporter plasmids were used to assess the effect of TMZ-R cells on DDR following a previously described protocol [47 ]. The system is based on an enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) reporter for each type of repair. Plasmids are linearized by restriction digest with I-SceI endonuclease (R0694S, NEB, MA, USA), exposing “broken” DNA ends, and transfected into cells with ExFect transfection reagent (Vazyme Biotech, Nanjing, China) following the manufacturer’s instructions. If the repair machinery within cells is active, the linear break is repaired, reconstituting the EGFP gene and emitting a green fluorescence readout. In both instances, p-EBFP2-N1 plasmid (MiaoLing Plasmid Sharing Platform) was included as an internal transfection control.

Genomic DNA Extraction and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To extract genomic DNA, HEK293T cells (3 days post transfection) were washed with PBS, pelleted, and lysed with 50μl Quick extraction buffer (Epicenter) and incubated in a thermocycler (65°C 15 min, and 98°C 5 min). PureLink Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Thermo Fisher) was used to extract genomic DNA from two different liver lobes (~10 mg each) per mouse. Target sequences were amplified using Phusion Flash PCR Master Mix (Thermo Fisher) with the primers listed in Supplementary Table 2. PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis in a 1% agarose gel, and target amplicons were extracted using DNA extraction kit (Qiagen). 10 ng of purified PCR products were incubated with I-SceI endonuclease (NEB) according to manufacturer’s instruction. One-hour post incubation, the product was visualized and analyzed by electrophoresis in 4–20% TBE gel (Thermo).

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.
