Beclin1 Knockdown and GFP-LC3 Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Beclin1 siRNA (sense 5′-GGAGCCAUUUAUUGAAACUTT-3′ and antisense 5′-AGUUUCAAUAAAUGGCUCCTT-3′) was synthesized by Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). Transfection of cells with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-LC3 plasmid (provided by Dr. Ye Wei) or Beclin1 siRNA was carried out using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) according the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, 4 µg GFP-LC3 plasmid, 100 pmol Beclin1 siRNA and 5 µl Lipofectamine 2000 were diluted in 50 µl Opti-MEM I medium (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), respectively, and were incubated for 5 min at room temperature. The diluted GFP-LC3 plasmid and Beclin1 siRNA were mixed with Lipofectamine 2000, separately, and were incubated for 20 min at room temperature. The complexes were then added to 6-well plates, 2×105 cells/well for transfection. Cabazitaxel was added to the cells at 5 µg/ml/well 48 h post-transfection, and the cells were incubated for a further 24 h at 37°C. LC3 puncta was visualized by fluorescence microscopy, and the protein expression levels of Beclin1 were determined by western blotting.

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against ATG5 (sense: 5′-GUGAGAUAUGGUUUGAAUAdTdT-3′ and antisense: 3′-UAUUCAAACCAUAUCUCACdTdT-5′), Beclin 1 (sense: 5′-GUUUGGAGAUCUUAGAGCAdTdT-3′ and antisense: 3′-UGCUCUAAGAUCUCCAAACdTdT-5′) and a nonspecific scrambled siRNA were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Merck KGaA). HOS and U2OS cells (5 × 105) were seeded in six-well plates and transfected with Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Rockville, MD, USA) mixed with a serum-free medium containing ATG5 siRNA, Beclin 1 siRNA, and scrambled siRNA. Transfection was performed under 5%CO2 at 37 °C for 24 h.

ESCC Cell Culture and Beclin1 Knockdown

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used human KYSE-150 and KYSE30 cells (purchased from the Cell Bank of Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences) as the ESCC cell line, which were cultured in 10% FBS supplemented RPMI-1640 (Gibco) at 37°C in an incubator with 95% air and 5% carbon dioxide[27 (link)], The cell culture medium was replaced once every 2 days and treated with EDTA-free trypsin (Gibco) when the density of ESCC cells was 70–80%, The supernatant was obtained and centrifuged at 150 g for 5 min to collect cells. Cells were then seeded in a 6-well plate at a density of 1 × 105 cells per well and 70–80% confluency the next day. Lipofectamine RNAiMAX Reagent (Invitrogen) was diluted with Opti-MEM™ (Gibco) (dilution ratio1:16) and Beclin1 siRNA (Invitrogen) was diluted to 30 pmol with Opti-MEM™ according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Diluted siRNA was added to diluted Lipofectamine® RNAiMAX Reagent (dilution ratio1:1) and incubated for 5 min at room temperature. The siRNA-Lipofectamine complex was added to cells for 24 h, and the knockdown efficiency was detected by Western blotting.

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.
