Hre luciferase

Manufactured by Addgene

The HRE-luciferase is a reporter gene construct that contains multiple copies of the hypoxia response element (HRE) sequence upstream of the luciferase gene. The HRE is a regulatory DNA sequence that responds to low oxygen levels (hypoxia) by activating transcription of the luciferase reporter gene. This construct can be used to monitor and quantify the cellular response to hypoxic conditions.

Constructs encoding truncated human CD19 (CD19t), a gift from Dr. Michael Jensen,16 (link) eGFP:ffluc-t2a-CD19t were inserted into epHIV7.2 by gibson assembly. The CD19t-t2a-huIL12 and eGFP:ffluc-t2a-huIL12 constructs were synthesized by GeneArt and inserted into the epHIV7.2 backbone. The HRE Luciferase (Addgene Plasmid #26731), containing three repeated HREs and HSV MiniTK, was modified by mutagenesis to remove the Nhe1 restriction site in the HRE by introducing point mutation at 5115G>A and 5120C>A. The HREs and MiniTK promoter were inserted into epHIV7.2 transgene vectors by Gibson Assembly, amplifying the HRE MiniTK promoter by PCR. Backbones were digested at NheI and RruI restriction sites to replace the minimal EF1α promoter with the HRE MiniTK promoter. The MiniTK promoter was inserted into epHIV7.2 transgene vectors by mutagenesis.

Nix-1195/−151 (P2) and Nix-290/+114 (P3) were amplified with Nix-1195F-SmaI and Nix-151R-BglII (5’-AACCCGGGACAAGTCCATTTTTAAGTT C-3’ and 5’-AGATCTATGGGATGAGTGATGCCAGT-3’); Nix-290F-NheI and Nix+114R-BglII (5’-GAGTCCTAAGAGCTAGCAAACAGATG-3’ and 5’-TCGGAGATCTGGCAGGACTGC-3’), respectively. These sequences (P1~P3) were subcloned into pGL2-basic vector. Nix-ΔARE mutants (P4~P6) were derived from pGL2-Nix-290/+114 (P3) by substituting the potential ARE sequences. The substitution was performed by Q5 site-directed mutagenesis kit (New England BioLabs) according to manufacturer’s instruction using with the following primers: for P4, ΔARE-B-F and ΔARE-B-R (5’-CCGGTCATAACAAGAATCACGCAAGAGTTC-3’ and 5’-ATGGGATGAGTGATGCCAGTGGCAG-3’); for P5, ΔARE-C-F and ΔARE-C-R (5’-GTCAGCCAATCTCGAAAGTCTCCACGTCCG-3’ and 5’-GCGCGCGCCGGGAACGAACTCTTG-3’); and, for P6, ΔARE-D-F and ΔARE-D-R (5’-GTGTTAATGCCAATGTGCAAGAGACGGTCCTG-3’ and 5’-AACAAGCCGAGTCCGCCGCCCCCTTTT C-3’).

T47D cells (American Type Culture Collection) were cultured in DMEM medium (Invitrogen), supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Invitrogen), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Invitrogen) in a humidified atmosphere (5% CO2 and 95% air) at 37°C. Cells (5 × 106 cells) were co-transfected with the HRE-luciferase (Addgene) and Renilla plasmids using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The transfected cells were seeded in 96-well plates and cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS for 12 h. In the next day, the cells were treated with tested compounds (100 nM and 200 nM) for 1 h, and then were exposed to hypoxic (1% O2/5% CO2/94% N2) or normoxic (5% CO2/95% air) conditions at 37°C for 24 h. The cells were finally lysed, and luciferase activities of both HRE and Renilla were measured by Dual-Luciferase® reporter assay (Promega) kit according to manufacturer's instructions by using a multimode reader (Infinite 200 PRO, Tecan). HIF-1 transcriptional activity was shown by the ratio of firefly/Renilla luciferase activity. The data were repeated by three independent experiments.

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.
