HEK293 cells were transfected with pU6-puro-siTAF-I or pU6-puro-siEGFP together with pISRE-TA-Luc (Clontech) containing the ISRE and pSEAP-Control (Clontech) using Gene Juice (Novagen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. At 48 h post transfection, cells were treated with or without IFN-β (1000 IU/ml) for 6 h. Cell lysates were used for assays of the luciferase activity using the luciferase assay system (Promega) and a MiniLumat LB9506 luminometer (Berthhold). To monitor the transfection efficiency, a portion of each cell culture medium was assayed for secreted alkaline phosphate (SEAP) using the SEAP assay kit (Toyobo).

Luciferase Assay for IRF9 Translocation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A luciferase reporter assay was performed to assess the effects of TMEM2-induced IRF9 translocation into nuclei. Plasmid pISRE-TA-Luc (Clontech) containing five copies of consensus ISRE upstream of the firefly luciferase gene was used for cell transfection. Plasmid pTA-Luc (Clontech) lacking the enhancer element was used for background determination. Plasmid pRL-CMV (Promega) expressing the Renilla luciferase protein was used to normalize the transfection efficiency. To measure IRF9-induced ISRE activities, 5 × 104 cells per well were seeded in a 24-well plate 1 day before transfection. Five hundred nanograms of pISRE-TA-Luc or pTA-Luc with 1 ng of pRL-CMV were used for cell transfection with 2 μl of Lipofectamine 2000 according to the manufacturer's instructions. Forty-eight hours after transfection, dual luciferase assays were performed using the cell lysates according to established protocols.

The human miR-424-5p gene was PCR amplified from genomic DNA and cloned into a pMSCV-puro retroviral vector (Clontech, Japan). Pathway Profiling System, including pAP1-luc, pCRE-luc, pE2F-TA-luc, pERE-luc, pGRE-luc, pHSE-luc, pISRE-TA-luc, pMYC-luc, pNF-κB-TA-luc, pp53-TA-luc, pSRE-luc, and pSTAT3-TA-luc, was purchased from Clontech (PT3286-1). HOPFlash (Catalog [Cat.] 83467), HIPFlash (Cat. 83466), TOPFlash (Cat. 12456), and FOPFlash (Cat. 12457) were purchased from Addgene. The 3′ UTRs of WWC1, SAV1, and LATS2 were PCR amplified from genomic DNA and cloned into pmirGLO vectors (Promega, USA), and the list of primers used in cloning reactions was provided in Table S3. Anti-miR-424-5p was synthesized and purified by GENECHEM (China). The primers of the mutant plasmid for WWC1, SAV1, and LAST2 were synthesized and purified by HDbio (Guangzhou, China). Transfection of plasmids was performed as previously described.46 (link)

Pathway Reporter Assays in ESCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pathway reporter vectors pAP1-TA-luc, pAP1 (PMA)-TA-luc, pISRE-TA-luc, pP53-TA-luc, and the negative control pTA-luc were purchased from Clontech Laboratories, Inc. (Mountain View, CA, USA). Other signaling transduction reporter vectors including pCRE-TA-luc and pGRE-TA-luc were constructed in our laboratory by inserting their cis-acting DNA binding sequence into the multiple cloning sites of pTA-luc [31 (link)]. Luciferase assays were performed with the dual-luciferase reporter assay system (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, pathway reporter vectors and pRL-SV40 were cotransfected into ESCs by Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. At 24 h after transfection, 1 μM PD or an equal volume of DMSO was added to culture medium for another 24 h. Cells were then lysed in passive lysis buffer and luciferase activity was measured on a VICTOR X5 Multilabel Plate Reader (PerkinElmer, Norwalk, CT, USA).

ISRE-Mediated Signaling Pathway Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pISRE-TA-Luc (Clontech) reporter plasmid was used for monitoring the induction of ISRE-mediated signal transduction pathways. The cells (5 × 104) grown in 48-well plates were transfected with 0.4 μg/well of a reporter plasmid, 0.4 μg/well of an empty plasmid or 0.2 μg/well of a reporter plasmid and 0.2 μg/well of expression plasmid, along with 0.1 μg/well of pRL-TK plasmid (Promega). Cells were infected with reovirus and Sendai virus (SeV, positive control) 12 h after transfection. Luciferase assays were performed 12 h after SeV infection and at indicated time points after reovirus infection. Luciferase activity in these cultures was quantified using the Dual-Luciferase Assay kit (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
