CLL cells were transfected using the AMAXA nucleofection technology (Amaxa, Cologne, Germany) with one of two different MCL-1 siRNAs or control siRNA according to the manufacturer’s instructions and as described.46 (link) In short, CLL cells were left to recover after thawing for at least 3 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells (5.5 × 106) were resuspended in 100 μl human B-cell nucleofector kit solution (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) and nucleofected with Silencer Select siRNAs (final concentration 3 μM) directed against MCL-1 or a negative control (Ambion, Paisley, UK; catalog numbers s8585 (two CLL samples) and s8583 (three CLL samples) for MCL-1 and AM4635 as negative control) using program X-001. After transfection, cells were directly resuspended in pre-warmed IMDM+/+ and plated in six-well plates to recover for at least 1h before commencing stimulation.

TMD8 cells were maintained in RPMI1640 at 37°C with 10% fetal calf serum (Mediatech Inc, Manassas, VA, USA), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Fisher Scientific, Fairlawn, NJ, USA). For cell transfection with BTK WT, BTKC481S and BTKT316A mutant constructs, Amaxa Nucleofection technology was applied according to the manufacturer's protocols (Amaxa, Cologne, Germany; kit V, Program U-13). To enhance the cell survival following transfection, TMD8 cells were co-cultured with bone marrow stromal cell line NKTert cells in a 24-well plate for the first 24hr. Cells were subsequently transferred into a new plate and ibr or vehicle was then added into the culture. Cell viability was determined with Muse™ Count & Viability kit using Muse Cell Analyzer (Millipore, Hayward, CA).

CLL cells were transfected using the Amaxa nucleofection technology (Amaxa, Cologne, Germany) and the ON-TARGETplus SMARTpool small interfering RNA (siRNA) to Jag1 (siJag1) or ON-TARGETplus siCONTROL nontargeting pool (siCtrl) as negative control (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO, USA). CLL cells (12 × 106) were resuspended in 100 µl Cell Line Solution Kit V (Lonza Group Ltd, Basel, Switzerland) with 0.25 μM of siJag1 or siCtrl, transferred to the provided cuvettes and transfected with the Amaxa Nucleofector II device (program U-013). Cells were immediately transferred into 12-well plates in complete medium and cultured for 72 h in the presence of 25 ng/ml IL-4. Cells were then examined for Jag1 protein expression to verify the efficiency of silencing, and for cell viability/apoptosis.

Nucleofection-based Transfection of Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CEMX174, HuT78 cells, and the monkey B-LCLs were transfected using the Amaxa nucleofection technology (Amaxa, Koln, Germany). Cells were suspended in a solution supplied with the Amaxa Human T cell nucleofector kit (VPA-1002 LONZA), following the Amaxa guidelines for cell line transfection (see Amaxa literature for further details about this kit). In brief, 100 μl of a 10 × 106 cell suspension was mixed with either 1 μg pmaxGFP only or combined with 5 μg pGL3-DNA and transferred to the provided cuvette and nucleofected using an Amaxa Nucleofector apparatus (Amaxa). Cells were transfected using the V-001 pulsing parameter and were immediately transferred into tubes containing 1 ml 37°C prewarmed culture medium, and aliquots were equally divided into individual wells of a 12-well plate with or without 1 μM RA. After transfection, cells were cultured for 24–48 h in the case of cell lines and for 6–24 h for the B-LCL, and the cultures were subjected to luciferase measurements. GFP plasmid was used as internal control in the assay to normalize for transfection efficiency. A fraction of cells from the same wells continued in culture for 72 h and were measured using flow cytometry to measure GFP.
A plasmid containing four repeats of an RA response element with luciferase reporter was used as a positive control as separate cuvette to measure RA-induced gene expression.

CLL cells were transfected using the Amaxa nucleofection technology (Amaxa) as previously described10 (link) with 3 µg siRNA targeting Bcl-XL and non-targeting siRNA (Ambion, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or 3 µg siRNA targeting NIK and non-targeting siRNA (Dharmacon). After nucleofection, cells were cultured on 3T40L for 24 h before drugs sensitivity assay was performed or protein lysates were obtained.

Measuring STAT3 Transcriptional Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The activity of STAT3 was measured by dual luciferase reporter (DLR) assays as described before [19 (link)]. Site-directed mutagenesis to generate STAT3 mutants harboring amino acid exchanges Y705F, S727A, or Y705F/S727A was performed on wild-type STAT3 cDNA. The integrity of all constructs was confirmed by sequencing. For expression, all STAT3 constructs were ligated in frame into the expression vector pmaxKS, encoding a C-terminal HA peptide tag. Transfection into LS411N cells was done using the Amaxa nucleofection technology (Lonza).

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.
