Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pooled-sgRNA library (Mouse Brie kinome pooled library) targeting murine kinome was a gift from John Doench and David Root [18 (link)] (RRID: Addgene_75316, Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA) and modified for the inclusion of pancreatic cancer-related genes by our lab (supplemental data). The resulting library contained 3548 sgRNAs for 924 murine genes. The lentivirus was produced as described previously [19 (link)]. Briefly, three T175 flasks of HEK293TN cells were plated at 70% confluence and incubated overnight. For each flask, 13.8 μg of pooled-sgRNA library, 9.2 μg of pMDLg/pRRE (Cat# 12251, Addgene), 4.6 μg of pRSV-REV (Cat# 12253, Addgene), 4.6 μg of pMD2.G (Cat# 12259, Addgene), 64.4 μL P3000 Enhancer Reagent, and 129 μL of Lipofectamine™ 3000 diluted in OptiMEM (Cat# 31985070, Gibco) were mixed and added to the HEK293TN cells. pMDLg/pRRE (Addgene, RRID: Addgene_12251), pRSV-REV (Addgene, RRID: Addgene_12253), and pMD2.G (Addgene, RRID: Addgene_12259) were gifts from Didier Trono [20 (link)]. The medium was changed 6 h post transfection and the virus was collected by filtering through a 0.45 μm strainer 24 h later.

The plasmid pLKO.1 containing short hairpin RNA (shRNA) sequences targeting cadherin-11 was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich together with a scrambled negative control. These plasmids were co-transfected with third generation lentiviral packaging and envelope vectors; pMD2.G, pRSV-Rev, and pMDLg/pRRE (Addgene plasmid #12259, #12253, and #12251, respectively, which were gifts from Didier Trono15 (link)), into HEK-293T cells using PEIpro (VWR) transfection reagent. Lentiviral particles were harvested 48 and 72 h after transfection. The harvested viral supernatant was filtered and stored at −80 °C until use. Five milliliters of viral supernatant were used to transduce hMSCs seeded at 5000 cells/cm2 in a T225 flask and incubated for 48 h. After transduction, positive cells were selected with 2 µg/mL puromycin dihydrochloride (Sigma-Aldrich) in growth media for 7 days and were then used for subsequent experiments.

Lentiviral Reporter Construct with COL2A1 Promoter

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A promoter sequence was synthesized based on a previous design (Kan et al., 2009 (link)):
four repeats of a highly conserved enhancer region within the first intron
of COL2A1 (+2126/+2174), which contains a
SOX9 binding motif (Zhou et al., 1998 (link)), were positioned upstream of
the core COL2A1 promoter (−164/+37). These
regulatory sequences were flanked by restriction sites for SpeI (5’
end) and BamHI (3’ end), and an NheI site was placed between the four
enhancer repeats and the core COL2A1 promoter. This
promoter was synthesized by GenScript (Piscataway, NJ) and cloned in place
of a truncated, “minimal” cytomegalovirus (mCMV) promoter
within the third-generation lentiviral expression plasmid
pTRH1-mCMV-dscGFP-T2A-Fluc (System Biosciences, Mountain View, CA). In the
resulting reporter construct, pGF-4eCOL2A1 (Addgene ID# 97210), the promoter
drives co-expression of copepod green fluorescent protein (copGFP) and
firefly luciferase using the Thosea Asigna virus 2A (T2A)
self-cleaving peptide (Kim et
al.
, 2011
). Replication-deficient lentivirus was
generated by transfecting 293T cells with pGF-4eCOL2A1 and the
third-generation packaging plasmids pMDLg/pRRE (Addgene ID# 12251), pRSV-Rev
(Addgene ID# 12253), and pMD2.G (Addgene ID# 12259) (Dull et al., 1998 (link)).

Lentivirus particles for pMIRNA1-FTO, pMIRNA1-FTO-Mut, pMIRNA1, pLKO.1-shFTO-1, pLKO.1-shYTHDF2, pLKO.1-shMYC, pLKO.1-shCEBPA, pCDH-MYC, pGFP-shFTO-2, pGFP-shNS (shNS-2), and pLKO.1-shNS, were packaged with pMD2.G, pMDLg/pRRE, and pRSV-Rev (Addgene). Briefly, 0.5 μg pMD2.G, 0.3 μg pMDLg/pRRE, 0.7 μg pRSV-Rev, and 1.5 μg construct for overexpression or knockdown of specific genes were co-transfected into HEK-293T cells in 60 mm cell culture dish with Effectene Transfection Reagent (301427, Qiagen). The pTRIPZ-IDH1R132H was packaged with psPAX2 and pMG2.G. The lentivirus particles were harvested at 48 and 72 hours and concentrated with PEG-it virus precipitation solution (LV810A-1, SBI). For infection, the lentiviruses were directly added into with cells with existence of 4ug/ml polybrene (H9268, Sigma-Aldrich) and then spinoculation was conducted at 32°C, 1000 rpm for 90 min. The infected cells were selected with GFP expression (for FTO, FTO-Mut, and pGFP-shFTO-2) or 1 μg/ml puromycin (for shFTO-1, shYTHDF2, shCEBPA, shMYC, pCDH-MYC, and IDH1R132H) (P8833, Sigma-Aldrich). After selection, 1 μg/ml Doxycycline (D9891, Sigma-Aldrich) was added to induce expression of IDH1R132H.

The plasmids pMD2.G, encoding vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (Addgene, USA), pMDLg/pRRE encoding Gag-pol (Addgene, USA) and pRSV-REV, encoding Rev (Addgene, USA) and the protocol developed by Tiscornia, et al.62 (link) were used for this study. The lentivirus expression plasmid pSMPUW-IRES-Puro (Cell Biolabs, CA), expressing the gene of interest under an EF-1 promoter, and containing an IRES and puromycin resistance gene following multiple cloning sites, was used for this research. A plasmid containing HPV16 E7 tagged with HA on the 5′ end (pSMPUW-HAE7) was constructed. 293 TT cells were seeded at a density of 2.5 × 106 cells in a T25 tissue culture flask and incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 overnight. The lentiviral vectors containing HAE7 or no insert were generated by transfection of 293 TT cells with PEI, equal parts of pMD2.G, pMDLg/pRRE and pRSV-REV, and two-fold of pSMPUW-HAE7 or pSMPUW. Supernatants were harvested 48 h and 72 h post-transfection and combined, filtered through a 0.45 µm filter, then centrifuged at 70,000 × g for 2 h at 20 °C. Viral pellets were resuspended in 50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 140 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, divided into aliquots and frozen at −20 °C until required.
