Lentiviral Overexpression of MEIS1 and MEIS2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To derive cell lines overexpressing lentiviral constructs of MEIS1 or MEIS2, all lentiviral vectors used in this study contain the gene-of-interest in the pReceiver-LV105 backbone (GeneCopoeia). High titer lentivirus was made by separately co-transfecting the LV105 constructs with ViraPower Lentiviral packaging mix (#K497500, Thermo Fisher Scientific) in HEK-293T cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (#11668019, Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer's instructions. After 48 and 72 hr, media containing the lentivirus was collected, spun down, and filtered using a 0.45 mm filter and used to infect target CWR-22rv1 or LAPC-4 cells with 5 mg/mL polybrene for 48 hr. Complete media were then replaced followed by selection and maintenance with puromycin (1 mg/mL, Invitrogen). Confirmation of MEIS1 or MEIS2 expression was confirmed using both qRT-PCR and Western blotting (anti-MEIS1 #ab19867, abcam); anti-MEIS2 (#TA337288, OriGene).

Whole-cell lysates of 100,000 or more cells were used per lane. Western blotting was performed as previously reported (15 (link)). Briefly, cells were rinsed with cold PBS and scraped into RIPA buffer supplemented with protease inhibitors, sonicated twice and re-suspended in 4× sample buffer (BioRad; Hercules, CA) supplemented with 10% Beta-mercaptoethanol (Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis MO). The Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific; Grand Island, NY) was used to determine protein concentration. 60 ug of protein was loaded on a 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel and electrophoresed, and transferred to nitrocellulose (LI COR, Odyssey; Lincoln, NE) overnight at 4°C. The membrane was blocked overnight in 5% non-fat milk in TBS at 4°C. Primary antibodies used were: anti-MEIS1 (Ab19867, Abcam; Cambridge, MA), anti-MEIS2 (ARP34683_P050, Aviva Systems Biology; San Diego, CA), anti-Beta Actin, (Clone AC-15, Sigma-Aldrich; St. Louis, MO). The secondary antibodies goat anti-mouse IRDye 800 CW or donkey anti-rabbit IRDye 680 from LI-COR Biosciences were used, and images captured using an infrared Odyssey scanner (LI-COR).

Protein Expression and Apoptosis Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmids of pCMV-SPORT6-Meis1, Meis1∆PIM, pCMV-SPORT6-HoxA9 and Hoxa∆MID were transfected into 293 T cells. Whole cell lysates were electrophoresed on 8–10 % sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore). The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C followed by incubation with appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies. The following antibodies were used: anti-Meis1 (Abcam), anti-HoxA9 (Proteintech) and anti-β-actin (Calbiochem). For analysis of apoptosis, cells were stained with PE conjugated anti-annexin V and 7-AAD (BD Pharmingen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
