Generation of Cas13d-expressing Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293FT cells were acquired from Thermo Fisher Scientific (R70007) and A375 cells were acquired from ATCC (CRL-1619). HEK293FT and A375 cells were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2 in D10 media: DMEM with high glucose and stabilized L-glutamine (Caisson DML23) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Serum Plus II Sigma-Aldrich 14009C) and no antibiotics.
To generate doxycycline-inducible RfxCas13d-NLS HEK293FT and A375 cells, we transduced cells with a RfxCas13d-expressing lentivirus at low MOI (<0.1) and selected with 5μg/mL Blasticidin S (ThermoFisher A1113903). Single cell colonies were picked after by sparse plating. Clones were screened for Cas13d expression by western blot using mouse anti-FLAG M2 antibody (Sigma F1804).
For the GFP tiling screen RfxCas13d-expressing cells were transduced with pLentiEGFPdestabilized lentivirus at low MOI (<0.1) and selected with 100μg/ml Hygromycin B (ThermoFisher 10687010) for 2 days. Single-cell colonies were grown by sparse plating. Resistant and GFP-positive clonal cells were expanded and screened for homogenous GFP expression by flow cytometry.

Human embryonic kidney 293FT (HEK293FT) and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells were obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA) and ATCC (Manassas, VA), respectively. Cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM/high-glucose, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) supplied with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich) and 100 U/ml Penicilin-Streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37 ºC in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. HEK293FT cells were transfected using Lipofectamine™ 2000 Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For induction of endogenous Arc expression, SH-SY5Y cells were stimulated with 100 μM carbachol (CCh) for 1 h at 37 ºC in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 [36 (link)].

HEK293FT (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and HeLa M cells (provided by P. De Camilli, Yale University, New Haven, CT) were grown in high-glucose DMEM (+l-glutamine), 10% fetal bovine serum, and 1% penicillin/streptomycin supplement (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Where indicated, cells were starved for 90 min by incubation with amino acid–free RPMI media (US Biological, Swampscott, MA). Amino acid refeeding was performed with 1× MEM amino acid supplement (Invitrogen) added to starvation medium for 15 min. Transfections were performed with 500 ng of DNA, 100 μl of OptiMEM (Invitrogen), and 1.5 μl of FuGENE 6 transfection reagent (Promega, Madison, WI) per 35-mm dish and scaled up proportionately for larger and smaller dishes. siRNA transfections were performed with 5 μl of RNAiMAX (Invitrogen), 500 μl of OptiMEM (Invitrogen), and 7.5 μl of 20 μM siRNA stock suspended in 100 mM KAc and 30 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid, pH 7.5. We used 250,000 HEK 293FT cells per 35-mm dish for siRNA transfection and incubated them for 2 d posttransfection before experiments. siRNA sequences purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT, Coralville, IA) are summarized in Supplemental Table S1.

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.
