Lentiviral Transduction of ACE2 and TMPRSS2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pLV-EF1a-IRES-Hygro (Addgene plasmid #85134) and pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo (Addgene, plasmid #85139) lentiviral vectors were modified to encode synthesised (Integrated DNA Technologies) ACE2 (GenBank NM_001371415.1) and TMPRSS2 (GenBank NM_005656). Lentiviral vectors were produced through transient transfection as described previously [42 (link)] and used to modify A549 cells (ATCC#CCL-185; generous gift from Prof. Ben Hale, validated by STR analysis (Eurofins)) and Vero E6 cells (ATCC#CRL-1586; generous gift of Prof. Michele Bouloy) that were cultured and transduced under standard culture conditions.

Engineered Lentiviral Vectors for Gene Editing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SCRPSY (KT368137.1) lentiviral vector has been previously described [2 (link)], pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo (Addgene plasmid #85139) was modified to include SfiI sites flanking the transgene ORF by inserting the TagRFP (or gene of interest) ORF with flanking SfiI sites between the unique BamHI and EcoRI restriction sites using PCR (primer pair AW177-BamHI-SfiI-RFP-F’ 5’-CTCTCGGATCCGGCCGAGAGGGCCATGAGCGAGCTGATTAAG-3’ and AW178-EcoRI-SfiI-RFP-R’ 5’-CTCTCGAATTCGGCCAGAGAGGCCTCACTTGTGCCCCAG-3’). Gene editing was achieved using the lentiCRISPRv2-Blast system [78 (link)].

Engineered Light-Responsive TGF-β Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Retroviral plasmids containing tdTomato-tagged blue light-responsive TGF-β receptors (Addgene #118942) and iRFP682-tagged Smad2 (Addgene # 118943) were provided as a gift by Dr. Won Do Heo.24 (link) Transformed colonies of competent E. coli (C3019H; New England BioLabs) were selected, amplified, and purified (E.Z.N.A. Endo-Free Plasmid DNA Kit; Omega Bio-Tek). Omitting the retroviral backbone, lentiviral plasmids were designed using Benchling and SnapGene software and constructed using custom cloning service of Epoch Life Science. The sequences for the light-responsive TGF-β receptors and iRFP682-Smad2 were inserted separately into lentiviral backbones (pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo; Addgene #85139). The lentiviral plasmids were similarly amplified and purified.

Lentiviral STING Overexpression

A STING cDNA in the pUNO3 vector was obtained from InvivoGen (San Diego, CA). The STING ORF was PCR amplified with a 5′ BamHI and 3′ NotI restriction site and cloned into pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo (Addgene # 85139). Lentivirus was produced by co-transfecting HEK293T cells with the STING ORF containing vector the packaging plasmids psPAX2 and pMD2.G (Addgene #12260 and 12259). STING-KO cells were transduced and selected with 800 µg/mL G418.

Generation of PTEN Mutant iBMMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNA was prepared from wildtype iBMMs by extracting total RNA using TRIzol (Invitrogen) and reverse transcription with an iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad). PTEN coding sequence was PCR amplified from cDNA and cloned into pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo (Addgene #85139) [81 (link)] using restriction cloning. To prevent CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in Pten–/– iBMMs which constitutively express Cas9 and Pten-specific sgRNA, synonymous point mutations were made in each amino acid within the sgRNA recognition site using site-directed mutagenesis to generate a CRISPR-resistant Pten allele (PTEN-CR). PTEN-CR was further mutagenized using site-directed mutagenesis to create G129E or G129R point mutations. Empty pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo, pLV.PTEN-CR, pLV.PTEN-CR-G129E, or pLV.PTEN-CR-G129R were packaged into lentivirus and transduced into Pten–/– iBMMs or wildtype iBMMs (empty vector only) as described above. After antibiotic selection, protein expression of each PTEN variant was confirmed by immunoblot as described above.

Cloning and Lentiviral Transduction of INPPL1 and MAP4K5

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The open reading frames of INPPL1 (GenScript: OHu19348), MAP4K5 (GenScript: OHu02673), and various mutants of these genes were cloned into pLV-EF1a-IRES-Neo (85139; Addgene) using a Gibson Assembly kit (E5510S; NEB). All sgRNAs were cloned into lentiCRISPRv2 (52961; Addgene) by following a published protocol (Sanjana et al., 2014 (link); Shalem et al., 2014 (link)). Lentiviruses were produced by co-transfecting HEK293T cells with viral construct and packaging vector DNAs (Hart et al., 2017 (link); Mair et al., 2019 (link)). Cells were spin-infected with concentrated viruses and infected cells were recovered by selection with the appropriate antibiotics.

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.
