Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
miR-129-5p mimics and miR-129-5p inhibitors were synthesized by Genepharma group (Shanghai, China). The full-length 3'UTR of YWHAB was subcloned into the pIS0 luciferase plasmid to generate pIS0-YWHAB-3'UTR 26 (link). Mutant construct of YWHAB-3'UTR, named pIS0-YWHAB-3'UTR-m, which carried a substitution of three nucleotides within the core binding sites of YWHAB-3'UTR, was conducted using mutant PCR primers. Primers used in this study are shown in Supplementary Table 1.

As the previous study described, the monocytes were isolated using density gradient centrifugation with FicollPaque (Amersham Pharmacia, Biotech AB) [19 (link)]. The specific cell markers CD14 and CD45 were used to evaluate the purity of the cells, and the purity of the cells was confirmed to be more than 95% by flow cytometry. The extracted monocytes were incubated in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 37°C. To mimic the inflammatory condition of NS in vitro, the monocytes were stimulated by 100 ng/ml LPS (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) for 4 h.
Monocytes were plated into 48-well plates and lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used for the transfection according to the manufacturer’s protocols. miR-129-5p mimic (5’-CUUUUUGCGGUCUGGGCUUGC-3’), miR-129-5p inhibitor (5’-GCAAGCCCAGACCGCAAAAAG-3’), and the negative control (miR-NC, 5’-CAGUACUUUUGUGU AGUACAAA-3’) were purchased from Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China).

Ethanol-Induced AML-12 Liver Cell Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse liver cell line AML-12 was purchased from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China) and cultured in DMEM-F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Upon cell adherence, they were passaged the second day, and those in the logarithmic growth phase were used in the experiments.
AML-12 cells were stimulated by 100 mM ethanol for 24 h alone, or stimulated by 100 mM ethanol for 24 h, followed by transfection of siRNA-NEAT1 negative control (NC), siRNA-NEAT1, miR-129-5p mimic NC, miR-129-5p mimic, NEAT1 overexpression vector (overexpressed (oe)-NEAT1) together with miR-129-5p mimic NC, or oe-NEAT1 together with miR-129-5p mimic. The siRNA-NC, siRNA-NEAT1, mimic-NC, miR-129-5p mimic and oe-NEAT1 were all acquired from GenePharma Co., Ltd, (Shanghai, China).
AML12 cells were seeded in 12-well plates and cultured for 24 h before transfection. The transfection was conducted by Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) when the cell confluence reached 70–90%. Transfected for 6 h, the medium was changed and cells were stimulated by 100 mM ethanol for 24 h. Finally, cells and cell supernatant were collected for the subsequent cell experiments.

Regulation of SOX6 by miR-129-5p

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The targeting relationship between miR-129-5p and SOX6 and the binding site between miR-129-5p and SOX6 3ʹuntranslated region (UTR) were forecasted by bioinformatics software http://www.targetscan.org. The 3ʹUTR fragment of SOX6 gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into pmirGLO vector to construct the recombinant luciferase reporter plasmid of wild type plasmid (SOX6-WT) and mutant type plasmid (SOX6-MUT). SOX6-WT and SOX6-MUT plasmids were extracted according to the steps of the purchased plasmid extraction kit (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin, USA). The logarithmic cells were inoculated into 96-well plates. When the cell confluence was about 70%, Lipofectamine 2000 was utilized for transfection. SOX6-WT and SOX6-MUT were mixed with mimic NC and miR-129-5p mimic (Shanghai GenePharma Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China) respectively, and then co-transfected to neuronal cells. The cells were amassed and lysed after transfected 48 h, and luciferase activity was detected by luciferase detection kit (BioVision, San Francisco, CA, USA) and Glomax 20/20 luminometer (Promega, Madison, Wisconsin, USA).

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.
