siRNA-mediated Silencing of SQR Gene

SiRNA oligonucleotides, Silencer Select Pre‐designed siRNAs (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), were used for the transient silencing of SQR. For SQR, the applied sequence contained the 5′‐3′ sense, GCUCAGUAAACAUCCCGUUtt and antisense 3′‐5′, AACGGGAUGUUUACUGAGCca. This SQR‐silencing siRNA (Ambion s81773) was complementary with the mRNAs belonging to RefSeq NM_001162503.1 and NM_021507.5 genes and also targeted exon 3. For negative control, non‐targeting siRNAs were applied with the same chemical modifications for enhanced efficacy as in other Silencer Select siRNAs (Ambion). Silencing was conducted as described previously (Modis K, Faseb 2012). Cells (80,000 cells/well) were seeded into 6‐well tissue culture plates and cultured in normal culture medium to reach 50% confluence. At this point, the growth medium was replaced with Opti‐MEM medium lacking FBS and antibiotics/antimicotics, followed by transfection with 25 pmol siRNA fragments per well at 30 nM forming complexes with 7.5 ml of Lipofectamine® RNAiMAX (Life Technologies). Control cells were transfected in parallel with non‐targeting siRNA (Life Technologies).

Plasmid transfections (vector, HA-RNMT, FLAG-RAM, CBP-MYC) were performed using LipoD293™ In Vitro DNA Transfection Reagent per protocol (SignaGen). Cells were harvested for protein or RNA 24 h post-transfection. Silencer Select Pre-designed siRNAs were obtained from Life Technologies and transfected using RNAiMax (Invitrogen; 20nM). Cells were harvested for protein or RNA 48 h post-transfection. Silencer Select negative control #2 (Life Technologies) was used as a transfection control.

ABCB1 Gene Silencing in NCI-H295R Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplex targeting regions of ABCB1 gene and a non-targeting negative control siRNA (si-control) were used (Silencer® Select Pre-Designed siRNAs, LifeTechnologies, Milan, Italy). The si-ABCB1 sense and anti-sense sequences were: 5′-CGAUACAUGG UUUCCGAUTT-3′ and 5′-AUCGGAAAACCAUGUAUCGGA-3' (si-ABCB1 10419). NCI-H295R cells were transfected with si-ABCB1 or si-control using the Lipofectamine RNAiMAX system (LifeTechnologies, Milan, Italy) according to the manifacturer'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.
