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.
Hindiii and xhoi
HindIII and XhoI are Type II restriction enzymes commonly used in molecular biology. HindIII recognizes and cleaves the DNA sequence 5'-AAGCTT-3', while XhoI recognizes and cleaves the DNA sequence 5'-CTCGAG-3'. These enzymes are used to generate DNA fragments for cloning, genetic engineering, and other molecular biology applications.

Cloning and Expression of TTR Protein
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.
