Gene Overexpression and Knockdown Techniques

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human SRGN and CD44 were constructed into the pLVX-puro and pCDNA3.1 vectors (Clontech), respectively, for overexpression. The annealed sense and antisense shRNA oligonucleotides were cloned into the pLKO.1-puro vector (Addgene) for knockdown of human SRGN with the following target sequences: CCAGGACTTGAATCGTATCTT (shSRGN#2), ACATGGATTAGAAGAGGATTT (shSRGN#5). The annealed sense and antisense sgRNA oligonucleotides were cloned into pX458 vector for knockout of murine Cd44 with the following target sequences: AATGTAACCTGCCGCTACGC (sgCd44#1), GGGAGGTGTTGGACGTGACG (sgCd44#3). The antibodies used for Western blotting, immunoprecipitation and immunohistochemistry were as follows: β-ACTIN (A2228, Sigma), Flag (F1804, Sigma), SRGN (sc-374657, Santa Cruz), CD44 (37259, CST), His (12698, CST), FAK (A11531, Abclonal), phosphor-FAK (AP0302, Abclonal), H3.3G34W (RM263, RevMAb). The CD44 neutralizing antibodies were obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (14-0441-82) for in vitro treatment and from Bio X Cell (BE0039) for in vivo treatment. The human SRGN recombinant protein was from Sino Biological (13648-H08H). The murine RANKL recombinant protein (Peprotech, 315-11) and the murine M-CSF recombinant protein (Peprotech, 315-02) were used in this study. The FAK inhibitor Defactinib for in vitro assay (2 μM) was obtained from MedChemExpress (HY-12289).

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.
