SiNrf2 is a small interfering RNA (siRNA) product designed to target the Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) gene. Nrf2 is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes involved in the cellular response to oxidative stress. The SiNrf2 product is intended to modulate the activity of the Nrf2 pathway, but its specific applications and intended uses are not within the scope of this factual description.

Nrf2 Silencing in PC12 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Control siRNA (siCtr) and siRNA targeting Nrf2 (siNrf2, cat# sc-156128) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. (Dallas, TX, USA). PC12 cells were transfected with siCtr or siNrf2 using the Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent and Opti-MEM I reduced serum medium (Thermo Scientific), as reported previously [42 (link),43 (link)]. Briefly, cells were incubated in media without antibiotic–antimycotic until reaching 70–90% confluency. Opti-MEM I and siRNA were mixed to make solution A, and Opti-MEM I and Lipofectamine 2000 were mixed to make solution B. The two solutions were then left in situ for 5 min and gently mixed to yield solution C. After 20 min, the culture media were replaced with fresh media without antibiotics containing solution C at a final concentration of 100 nM siRNA. After 6 h of transfection, the media containing siRNA were exchanged with fresh media containing antibiotic–antimycotic. After 36–48 h with daily media exchanges, the cells were used for further experiments.

SH-SY5Y cells were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, USA) and cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (Gibco, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated horse serum (Gibco), 5% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (Gibco), 100 IU/ml penicillin, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2 at 37°C. SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 50 ng/ml 2.5S nerve growth factor (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) for 9 days to induce differentiation. Cells were plated in 6-well plates and passaged at 60–70% confluence. In the experiments, cells were pretreated with 25–100 μM Sal for 24 h and then exposed to 500 μM MPP+ for an additional 24 h. In some experiments, cells were transfected with siNrf2 or siDJ-1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) using lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent 2–4 days before the treatment of Sal and MPP+.

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.
