The identified region of Mtf1 promoter from a mouse genomic DNA was amplified using primer pairs (F, 5'-ACGCTCGAGGGTGCGCCAGAGTCACTTAT-3' and R, 5'-AATAAGCTTTCTCAACCTGGT TCTGCACT-3'), and cloned into pGL6 plasmid (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) via XhoI and HindIII (NEB, USA) digestion. Empty pGL6 vector was used as control plasmid.
HEK293T cells were incubated in DMEM (Gibco BRL,Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 10% FBS (Gibco BRL) and 1 × 105 cells per well were seeded into 24-well plates before transfection. The reporter plasmids pGL6 or pGL6-Mtf1 were co-transfected with miRNA-22 mimics or miRNA-22 inhibitor into 293 cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (11668-027, Invitrogen). After 48 h of incubation, the cells were collected to detect luciferase activity assays using the Double luciferase reporter kit (E1910, Promega, Madison, WI, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction. The ratio of firefly luciferase activity to Renilla luciferase activity in each group (Renilla luciferase activity as an internal reference) was used as the reporter gene activity.

To make a dual-expression plasmid, our in-house pET-dual plasmid containing the gene of interest was amplified by PCR to add XhoI and HindIII cutting sites with Q5® Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (NEB). The amplified gene fragment and the same vector with the other gene of interest were cut by XhoI and HindIII (NEB) and gel purified. The amplified gene fragment was then ligated into the vector by Quick Ligation Kit (NEB).

Northern Blot Analysis of RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from transfected cells using Tri reagent (MRC) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The RNA was separated on a denaturing 1% agarose gel in MOPS buffer. The gel was stained with ethidium bromide to visualize total RNA (mostly comprising of rRNA) as a loading control. The RNA was transferred overnight to a nitrocellulose membrane. Subsequently, the membrane was UV crosslinked and the RNA hybridized to a 32P-labeled probe overnight in Church buffer 65°C. The membrane was imaged using a Typhoon phosphoimager system. The probe was generated first restricting the plasmid using HindIII and XhoI (NEB), gel purifying the restricted fragment and using Prime a gene kit (Promega) in the presence of α32P-dATP.

Cloning and Luciferase Assay of DR4 Construct

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Vector pGL4.10 [luc2] (Promega) was linearized by digesting with HindIII and XhoI (New England Biolabs), and was then purified using the QIA quick PCR purification kit (Qiagen 28104) Two ssDNA oligos (DR4 sequence with overhangs) were annealed to form a dsDNA oligo with specific HindIII and XhoI overhangs. The linearized vector and dsDNA oligo were ligated together using T4 DNA ligase (NEB) according to manufacturer protocol. The product was then transformed into competent cells and plated onto ampicillin agar plates. Single colonies were picked the following day and grown in LB overnight. The cells were then harvested and mini prepped with Qiaprep spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen 27104). Purified plasmid DNA was sent for sequencing to confirm successful and correct ligation. A Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (Promega) was used to determine DR4 luciferase activity (firefly) and each individual well was normalized via Renilla luciferase internal control.

The construct corresponding
to the TTR amino acid sequence plasmid pcDNA3.1+/C-(K) DYK with Accession
No. NM_000371 was purchased from GenScript, USA. The TTR gene was
cloned as per the protocol described by Ali et al.48 (link) The plasmid pcDNA3.1+/C-(K) was amplified using PCR with
this primer set: the primers 5′-ATATATAAGCTTATGGCTTCTCATCGTCTG-3′
tagged with a 5′-HindIII cleavage site and
5′-ATAT ATCT CGA GT CATTCCT TGGGATTGG-3′ tagged with
a 5′ XhoI cleavage site. A construct corresponding
to the mature protein without the predicted signal sequence was amplified.
The PCR-amplified product was double-digested with HindIII and XhoI restriction enzymes. The pET28b vector
(GenScript) was also double-digested with HindIII
and XhoI restriction enzymes. The digested product
(insert and backbone) was ligated using the T4 DNA ligase. The ligated
vector was used to transform the Escherichia coli DH5α strain, which was plated onto Luria–Bertani (LB)
agar plates containing 50 μg/mL of kanamycin (Km). The subsequent
transformants were collected for plasmid preparation using Gene Jet
Minipreps (Thermo Scientific). The plasmids were digested with HindIII and XhoI (New England Biolabs)
to confirm the positive clones. The constructs were sequenced using
Eurofins.

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.
