Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Generation of batch MTR knockout cells in each cell line was achieved using the lentiviral CRISPR–Cas9 vector system LentiCRISPR v2 (Addgene #52961). Briefly, RNA sequences targeting exon 15 and exon 28 of human MTR were designed using the crispr.mit.edu design tool. The guide RNA or scrambled control sequences (Supplementary Table 1) were subcloned into the LentiCRISPR v2 using the BsmBI restriction endonuclease (NEB R0580S). Virus was produced through PEI (MilliporeSigma, 408727) transfection of vectors and lentiviral packaging plasmids psPax2 and VSVG in 293T cells. Medium containing lentivirus was collected after two days and filtered through a PES filter (0.22 μm, MilliporeSigma). Cells were transfected with virus containing scrambled control or targeting MTR and Polybrene (8 μg/mL, Invitrogen). Cells were split after 48 h into standard RPMI-media (10% FBS) containing puromycin (2 μg/mL) and cultured for 3 days. The resulting batch knockout cells were suspended in RPMI-media (20% FBS) and plated at a dilution of ~1 cell per well in 96-well plates. After 10 days, single colonies were identified and passaged. MTR knockout of clonally isolated knockout cells was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and by western blotting.

Generation of batch G6PD-null cells for mammary fat pad and tail-vein injection assays in the MDA-MB 231SCP:28TR background was achieved using the lentiviral CRISPR–Cas9 vector system lentiCRISPR v2 (Addgene #52961). Briefly, sgRNA sequences targeting exon-5 of human G6PD were designed using the crispr.mit.edu design tool. The identified PAM sequences or scrambled control sequence (Supplementary Table 1) were subcloned into the lentiCRISPR v2 using the BsmBI restriction endonuclease (NEB R0580S). Virus was produced through PEI (MilliporeSigma, 408727) transfection of vectors and lentiviral packaging plasmids psPax2 and VSVG in 293T cells. Medium containing lentivirus was collected after two days and filtered through a PES filter (0.22 μm, MilliporeSigma). Cells were transfected with virus containing scrambled control or targeting G6PD and Polybrene (8 ug/mL, Invitrogen). Cells were split after 48 h into RPMI-media (10% FBS) containing puromycin (2 ug/mL) and cultured for 3 days. Cells were passaged once more in puromycin media prior to utilization in xenograft experiments. G6PD knockout was confirmed by western blotting.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
sgRNA sequences targeting murine G6pdx and non-coding region of DNA (intergenic control) were identified from the mouse GeCKOv2 sgRNA library [36 (link)]. The identified PAM sequences (Supplementary Table 1) were subcloned into the pSECC (Addgene, 60820) using the BsmBI restriction endonuclease (NEB R0580S). Virus was produced through PEI (MilliporeSigma, 408727) transfection of vectors and lentiviral packaging plasmids psPax2 and VSVG in 293T cells. Medium containing lentivirus was collected at 48 and 72 h and filtered through a PES filter (0.22 um, MilliporeSigma). Virus was concentrated by ultracentrifugation (~70,000g for 2 h at 4ºC), and the resulting pellet was gently resuspended in an appropriate volume of HBSS (MilliporeSigma, 55037C). Virus was aliquoted and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen before storing at −80ºC. Viral titering was achieved using Green-Go cells and flow cytometry, as previously described [37 (link)].

Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC BAA-1717 (USA300) were kindly provided by Abace Biotechnology (Beijing, China), and which had remarkable hemolytic activity and pigment formation. The bacteria were routinely cultured at 37°C on 5% sheep blood agar plates (BA, Bio-caring, China) and then grown in lysogeny broth (LB, Solarbio Life Sciences, Beijing, China) at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm. Overnight cultures of S. aureus strain BAA-1717 were diluted 1:100 into 3 mL fresh LB medium with 20 mM glucose (Sigma-Aldrich) or/and 20 mM sodium pyruvate (Sigma-Aldrich) in a 12 mL tube. All cultures were incubated at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm, and the culture supernatants were collected at 24 h or 48 h post-inoculation. The cell-free culture medium (CFCM) was obtained by filtered through a PES filter (0.22 μm pore size; Millipore), used immediately or stored at −70°C.

A total of 6.4 mg/mL HucMSC-derived sEVs were incubated with the lipophilic fluorescence dye PKH26 (MKBio, Shanghai, China) at a concentration of 10 μM at 37 °C. Then, the mixture solution was transferred to the ultrafiltration tube with 100 kDa MWCO and centrifuged at 1500× g for 30 min to remove the unbound dye. The stained sEVs were resuspended in 200 μL PBS and passed through a 0.22 μm polyethersulfone (PES) filter (Millipore, USA) before use. Similarly, 6.4 mg/mL HucMSC-, HEK293T-, and HGC-derived sEVs were incubated with 0.5 mg/mL of lead sulfide (PbS) quantum dots (PbS QDs) (Nirmidas Biotech, Mountain View, CA, USA) at 37 °C, and the mixture was processed in an ultrasonic water bath for 3 min. Then, the mixture was transferred to the ultrafiltration tube with 100 kDa MWCO to be centrifuged under 1500× g for 30 min to remove the free PbS QDs, and finally the obtained solution was added to 200 μL PBS with a 0.22 μm PES filter, ready for use. Control groups with only the label were performed, and the labeling efficiency was calculated by the ratio of fluorescence intensity before and after labeling.

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.
