Human Cyclin A Promoter Luciferase Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human cyclin A promoter (containing 1 GC box and 1 TATAAT box) was cloned into the pGL3 basic firefly luciferase vector (Thermo Scientific) and then transfected into PFDN1-overexpressed cells. The specific primers for promoter sequences are listed in supplementary Table S5. Cell lysates were prepared 24 h after transfection in reporter lysis buffer (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and luciferase substrate was added. The luciferase activity was recorded on a luminometer (Veritas, Promega).

NMuMG cells were transfected with the firefly luciferase (Luc) reporter FN1-Lux (1 μg) and pCMV–Renilla reniformis luciferase (0.025 μg) (Rl; Promega) in 6-well plates (106 cells/well) using FuGENE 6 reagent and according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The next day, cells were transferred into a 48-well plate (2 × 104 cells/well). The cells were treated with 2 ng/ml TGF-β1 for 24 h. Luc and Rl activities were determined using the Dual-Luciferase reporter assay system (Promega), according to the manufacturer’s protocol, in a microplate luminometer (Veritas; Promega). Firefly activity was normalized to Renilla activity and presented as relative luciferase units. All assays were performed in triplicates, and each experiment was repeated at least twice.

TEER was measured with a volt-ohmmeter and electrode probe (EVOM and STX2; World Precision Instruments, Sarasota, FL, USA). Details on obtaining reproducible resistance readings are available at: https://medicine.umich.edu/sites/default/files/content/downloads/Measuring_Transepithelial_Electrical_Resistance.pdf.
Cell death was measured on cultures at least several weeks after last OS feeding using a cytotoxicity assay (LDH-Glo, #J2380; Promega, Madison, WI, USA) according to manufacturer's instructions. Supernatant (24-hour incubation) was diluted 1:100, and 50 μL of the dilution was measured on a luminometer (Veritas; Promega), subtracting all values from the signal derived from fresh media.

Transient Transfection Assay for Reporter Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were transfected with either IL-10-luciferase reporter construct (Adgene) or PPRE-luciferase reporter construct (Qiagen, USA, Cat # CCS-3026L), using Amaxa Mouse Macrophage Nucleofector Kit from Lonza (Cat # VPA-1009) following manufacturer's instructions. Reporter assay was carried out 24 h post-transfection using dual luciferase assay kit (Promega, Cat # E1910) following manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, cells were washed with PBS followed by lysis with 1X passive lysis buffer. The lysate was cleared by brief centrifugation and firefly luciferase reporter activity in the clear supernatant was measured using a luminometer (Veritas, Promega). Renilla luciferase activity in the same lysate was used to assess transfection efficiency.

The SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with 0.8 µg/well of PGC-1α-delta-CRE-promoter-luciferase reporter plasmid (the CREB-binding sequences were deleted), PGC-1α-promoter-luciferase plasmid (encoding wild type PGC-1α promoter sequences upstream of luciferase reporter gene), PGL negative control plasmid or CMV-luciferase positive control plasmid respectively using Lipofectamine™ 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Cells transfected with the plasmid DNA mixtures were cultured for 48 h. After washing with PBS, the cells were lysed with the lysis buffer (Promega, USA). The cell lysates were mixed with Luciferase Assay Reagent (Promega, USA) in 96-well plate, and the light was measured using a 96-well microplate luminometer (Veritas, Promega, USA) [30] (link).

Cell Proliferation Assay with KD Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plate reader–based proliferation assays were performed on cells previously transduced with PLAT, PLAU, or KLK6 KD virus. The cells were under selection for 5 days after virus addition prior to setting up the experiment. The day before the assay, 5000 cells/well in 100 μl complete media were plated into 96 well plates and incubated for 18 h. For diminazene, gabexate mesylate, and hydroxystilbamidine treatment experiments, cells were seeded at 5000 cells/well and incubated with vehicle only (DMSO at final concentration of 1%) or with each drug at the indicated final concentrations for 18 h in complete media before commencement of the assay. The assay was carried out following the manufacture’s protocol (Promega CellTiter Glo 2.0 viability assay). Cells were lysed and incubated with Promega reagent and luminescent signal was acquired following the provided standard Promega protocol (Veritas, Turner BioSystems). Data were analyzed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.

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.
