pMX-Oct4, pMX-SOX2, pMX-KLF4, pMX-cMyc were obtained from Addgene (plasmids 17217, 17218, 17219, 17220 respectively). Retroviral vectors were co-transfected with packaging plasmids (pCMV-gag-pol-PA and pCMV-VSVg, kindly provided by Gerald Pao, Laboratory of Genetics, The Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA) in 293T cells using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
pBABE-U3-hTR was kindly provided by Kathleen Collins60 (link). U3-hTR was cloned into third generation lentiviral vector kindly provided by Raul Alvarez Rodriguez (Laboratory of Genetics, The Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA). pBABE-TERT and TERT-DN61 (link) were subcloned into pLV-FU-TetO vector. Lentiviral vectors were co-transfected with packaging plasmids (pMDL, Rev and VSVg, kindly provided by Oded Singer, Laboratory of Genetics, The Salk Institute, La Jolla, CA) in 293T cells using Lipofectamine (Invitrogen) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations.
Lentiviral supernatants were collected 36 hours after transfection, concentrated by ultracentrifugation at 19400 rpm for 2 hours and resuspended in hES cell media.
The shRNA-expressing lentiviral pLKO.1 vectors were purchased from OpenBiosystems (ThermoFisher) and correspond to the following clones:

pMX-OCT4, pMX-SOX2, pMX-KLF4 and pMX-cMYC, were obtained from Addgene (plasmids 17217, 17218, 17219 and 17220, respectively). The shRNA p53 construct was previously described and validated49 (link). Constructs for the expression of mutant oncogenes were obtained from Addgene (RasV12 Neo (w108-1) #22259; EGFR D770-N771 insNPG #11016; EGFR (del3) #11015; src Y527F #13660). Coding sequence for the mutant oncogenes were removed by restriction enzymes and subcloned into a lentiviral backbone with the In-Fusion system according to manufacturer's instructions (Takara/Clontech).

iPSC derivation was performed by utilizing retroviral vectors (pMX-OCT3/4, pMX-SOX2, pMX-KLF4, and pMX-cMYC, obtained from Addgene)42 (link). After the transduction of the reprogramming factors, sarcoma cells and ear tip fibroblasts were cultured in ESC media supplemented with human recombinant leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) (Wako), 2-mercaptoethanol (Invitrogen) and 50 µg/ml l-ascorbic acid (Sigma). The established iPSCs were maintained with ESC media supplemented with LIF, 1 μM PD0325901 (Stemgent), and 3 μM CHIR99021 (Stemgent).

105 sorted cells were infected with retrovirus generated from Plat-E cells, which were transfected with pMXOct4 (id: 13366), pMXSox2 (id: 13367), pMXKlf4 (id: 13370), and pMXc-Myc (id: 13375) (Addgene) in 6-well dishes with 0.5 ml of each viral supernatant (total 2 ml per well), and spun at 2500 rpm at 20°C for 90 min. The reprogramming factor-infected osteoblasts were cultured in osteoblast medium for 5 days before replating 8 × 105 cells per 10 cm dish precoated with mitomycin C-inactivated mouse embryonic fibroblast in ES maintenance media. Media were changed daily until ES-like colonies were observed. F-iPS cells were generated from dermal fibroblasts of newborn mice. 106 fibroblast cells were plated onto all wells of a 6-well plate and spin-infected with the four viral supernatants. Cells were cultured further in DMEM media supplemented with 15% FBS, 1 × penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (Invitrogen). On day 5, the cultured cells were trypsinized and replated in four 10 cm dishes on mitomycin C-inactivated mouse embryonic fibroblast with ES maintenance media. Media were changed every day until ES-like colonies were observed.

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.
