Generating Stable MCM7 Overexpressing Cell Lines

MCM7 overexpressing stable cell lines were generated using the WT-MCM7 and Mut-MCM7 overexpression plasmids (OriGene Technologies). Plasmids were linearised using PsiI (New England Biolabs, Frankfurt am Main, Germany), and DNA band elusion was performed using the NucleoSpin Gel and PCR Clean-up kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) according to the user manual. N2a cells were plated on six-well plates and incubated 48 hours at 37°C. Cells were transfected overnight using Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Invitrogen) reduced serum medium (Opti-MEM GlutaMAX supplement, Gibco) and 2 µg of linearised overexpression plasmids without antibiotics. Trypsinisation was performed as previously described and cells were plated and incubated overnight at 37°C. Geneticin (600 µg/mL, G-418 Solution; Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was added to the cells, and the medium was changed every 48 hours for 7 days to obtain only cells with the integrated MCM7 overexpression plasmids.

Infection was performed at indicated multiplicities of infection (MOI) at day 2. MOCK-treated cells (no virus, infection medium only) served as control. Cells were washed once with PBS and then treated with a distinct MOI of MeV-GFP diluted in 250 µL Opti-MEM (Opti-MEM + GlutaMAX Supplement, Gibco, Paisley, Scotland, UK). At 3 h post-infection (hpi), the inoculum was removed and changed to standard or starvation medium.

Cell Culture and Transfection Protocols

HEK293 (CRL-1573; ATCC) and HeLa (CCL-2; ATCC) cells were cultured in DMEM (Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). Cells were transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or FUGENE6 (Roche) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. HEK293 cell lines stably expressing HA-ephrin-B1 or EphB2 and membrane targeted myristoylated GFP (EphB2 [GFP]) have been described previously (Jørgensen et al., 2009 (link)). SK-N-BE(2) cells (human neuroblastoma, CRL-2271; ATCC) were cultured in reduced serum medium (Opti-MEM, GlutaMAX Supplement; Gibco) containing 10% FBS (Gibco).
U251 cells (09063001-1VL; Sigma-Aldrich) were cultured in MEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS (Gibco), 2 mM glutamine, 1% nonessential amino acids, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. All cell lines tested negative for mycoplasma contamination.
Primary forebrain neurons and cortical neurons were dissected from E15.5 mouse embryos, plated onto cell culture dishes coated with 1 mg/ml poly-d-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich) and 5 µg/ml laminin (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and cultured in Neurobasal-B27 medium (Gibco; Lauterbach and Klein, 2006 (link)).

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.
