Encapsulation and Serum Stability of siRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FAM-siRNA was synthesized by Shanghai Genepharma Co., Ltd and chemically modified by 2'-O-methylation to reduce off-target effects and enhance its stability. Encapsulating siRNAs in PSP complexes was performed as previously reported 20 (link). Briefly, 60 nM PSP and 300 nM FAM-siRNA were subjected to shaking at 1000 rpm for 3h at room temperature. Subsequently, gel shift and serum stability assays were performed for visualizing the estimated siRNA load capacity of PSP and serum stability of PSPS. For estimation of siRNA load capacity, PSPS (molar ratio: 1:20) complexes were subjected to 0.6% agarose gel electrophoresis followed by ethidium bromide staining. Following electrophoretic separation, the agarose gel was exposed to UV transillumination followed by imaging. The unbound siRNA duplex was of 20 bp size, and PSPS was immobile because of its large size. For serum stability of PSPS, 90 μL PSPS was incubated with 10 μL FBS or SFM for 1-24 h at 37°C. Subsequently, 6x gel loading dye was added and the samples were applied to 0.6% agarose gel, and fluorescence spectrophotometer was used to measure the FAM-siRNA fluorescence intensity.

Galectin-3 Knockdown in Eca109 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The siRNAs (galectin-3 siRNA and non-silencing siRNA) were designed and synthesized by Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China). The siRNA-Gal-3 sequences were as follows: Gal-3-homo-422 (siGal3-1), 5′-GCCACUGAUUGUGCCUUAUTT-3′; Gal-3-homo-746 (siGal3-2), 5′-GUACAAUCAUCGGGUUAAATT-3′. As the non-silencing siRNA (siRNA-control), a scrambled sequence (5′-UUCUUCGAACGUGUCACGUTT-3′), which does not target any known mammalian gene, was used as a negative control. The transfection efficiency of siRNA was evaluated by using negative control FAM-siRNA (Shanghai GenePharma Co., Ltd.), which emitted faint green fluorescence. The lyophilized siRNAs were dissolved in diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transfection of Eca109 cells with galectin-3 siRNA was performed using HiperFect transfection reagent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Eca109 cells (10×104 cells in 2 ml complete culture medium) were seeded into a six-well plate at 24 h prior to transfection. The cells treated with siRNA were harvested within 48–72 h after transfection for further experiments.

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.
