Cy5-labeled mRNA Transfection in Huh-7 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

GLuc mRNA was labeled with Cy5 using a Label IT Cy5 Labeling Kit (Mirus Bio, Madison, WI, USA). Huh-7 cells were seeded in a 6-well plate (100,000 cells/well) and incubated for 24 h. To each well, Cy5-labeled mRNA (Cy5-mRNA)-loaded PICs were added (250 ng of mRNA/well). After 24 h incubation, the transfected cells were washed twice with cold PBS and collected after trypsinization. The cells were centrifuged and resuspended in PBS. The Cy5 intensity of the cells treated with Cy5-mRNA was measured in a BD LSR II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), equipped with a 633 nm laser and 660/20 nm filter.

Fluorescent Labeling of eIF4E and mRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
eIF4E protein was labeled by Cy3-NHS (AAT bioquest, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) at a 5:1 (dye/protein) molar ratio in the protein storage buffer (20 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCI, 10% glycerol, 1 mM DTT) at room temperature for one hour. Protein-dye conjugates were separated from free dyes through 0.5 ml Zeba Spin Desalting Columns, 7K MWCO (Thermofisher). Luciferase mRNAs were labeled with Label IT Cy5 Labeling Kit (Mirus Bio LLC, Madison, WI, USA) at a 10:1 (dye/mRNA) molar ratio per the provider’s instruction. Labeled mRNAs were purified by ammonia acetate/ethanol precipitation. In a 96-well plate, 104 HEK293T or NIH3T3 cells were seeded in 100 μl growth medium per well 24 hr before transfection. On the day of transfection, Cy5-mRNA (100 ng RNA) alone or Cy3-eIF4E/Cy5-mRNA (100 ng RNA/500 ng eIF4E) were transfected with polyamines at 15:1 N/P molar ratio into cells. Cells were harvested at 4 hr post transfection. Fluorescence intensity of the cells was monitored and evaluated with a FACSCelesta (BD Biosciences) equipped with Diva software (BD Biosciences) using a 488 laser for excitation and a 660/20 nm filter.

Cy5-labeled DNA Uptake in APP/PS1-N2a Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following the manufacturer’s instructions, pDNA was labeled using a Label IT Cy5 labeling kit (Mirus, Madison, WI, USA). In brief, APP/PS1-N2a cells (5 × 104/well) were seeded into a 35 mm confocal culture dish. After 24 h, the CA-PEI CDs (5 μL, 5 mg/mL) were incubated with Cy5-labeled DNA (0.1 mg DNA/well, the optimal sample mass ratio) in an incubator at 37 °C for 30 min. The resulting complex was added to the cell culture medium and incubated for an additional 24 h at 37 °C. Subsequently, the cells were washed with 1 mL of PBS, and fluorescence images were captured using a laser scanning confocal microscope (FV3000, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Labeling and Binding of Poly(I:C) RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthetic double stranded RNA Poly (I∶C) (Sigma) was labeled with Label IT Cy5 labeling kit (Mirus). Briefly, 5 µg of RNA was incubated at a 1∶1 (v∶w) ratio of Label IT Cy5 reagent to nucleic acid. 40 ng of labeled Poly(I∶C) was incubated with 20 ng GFP-PA2G4 fusion protein in binding buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 0.5 mM EDTA, and 150 mM NaCl) at room temperature for 45 min. GFP-PA2G4 was immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP magnetic beads as previously described [20] (link). An aliquot of gel loading buffer (0.25% bromophenol blue, 0.25% xylene cyanol, 50% glycerol) was added to the reaction mixture and resolved on 10% non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels in 1× TBE. Gels were scanned on a Typhoon FLA 9500 Imager (GE Healthcare) using 633/670 nm for Cy5 filter and 489/508 nm for GFP filter.

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.
