Whole cell extracts for western blotting were prepared as described previously (17 (link)). Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred onto Immobilon-FL PVDF membranes (Millipore) according to standard procedures. Membranes were probed with the following antibodies: APE1 (Novus Biologicals, NB100–101), XRCC1 (Thermo Scientific, MS-1393-P0), α-actin (Abcam, ab6276), p21 (Cell Signaling Technology, 2947), p53 (Santa Cruz, sc-126), PAR (Trevigen, 4335-AMC-050), histone H2A.X phosphorylated at Ser139 (γH2AX, 05–636, Millipore), Sp1 (Millipore, 07–645), histone H3 (Cell Signaling Technology, 4499). Secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 680 (Molecular Probes) and IRDye® 800 (Rockland) fluorescent dyes were used. Detection and quantification was carried out using an Odyssey image analysis system (Li-Cor Biosciences).

Cisplatin-Induced DNA Damage Response Signaling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Control and IPF fibroblasts (n=8, each) used for cell viability assay (6 × 105 cells/60 mm cell culture dish) were treated with cisplatin for various time points. Cells were lysed with 1x cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling technology, Beverly, MA) containing protease inhibitor (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN) and phosphatase inhibitor (Research Products International Corp., Mount Prospect, IL), and western blotting was performed as previously described (15 ,16 (link),17 (link)). The antibodies used for our study are: γH2AX (PRID: AB_2118009, Cell Signaling Technology) (21 (link)), H2AX (RRID: AB_10694556, Cell Signaling technology) (22 (link)), RAD51 (RRID: AB_2042762, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) (11 (link)), BRCA2 (RRID: AB_2259370; R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) (11 (link)), pXRCC1 (phosphorylated at S518, T519, and T523; catalog No. ab195205; Abcam) (21 (link)), XRCC1 (RRID:AB_10985840; ThermoFisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) (23 (link)), CK2α (catalog No. 2656; Cell Signaling technology)(24 (link)), PUMA (RRID:AB_10987708; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA)(25 (link)), or GAPDH (RRID:AB_627679; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) (26 (link)). The protein bands on a membrane were then detected by ECL solution (ThermoFisher Scientific) using Chemi Doc-IT2 image analyzer (UVP BioImage systems, Upland, CA), and quantified using VisionWorks LS program (UVP BioImage systems).

Knockdown of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in MCF-7 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BRCA1 and BRCA2 small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) were generated using a lentiviral pLKO.1-puromycin vector (Sigma Aldrich). The sequences used for the small hairpin RNA complementary to BRCA1 and BRCA2 were as follows:
For establishment of clonally-derived cell lines, MCF-7 cells were electroporated using nucleofector system (Amaxa) according to manufacturer’s directions. The transfected cells were seeded in 10-cm dishes containing complete DMEM media. After 72h, the plates were washed with PBS and media containing 3μg/ml puromycin was added. The individual puromycin-resistant cells were allowed to grow for another 4 weeks to form colonies. The colonies were picked by placing cloning cylinders around clearly separate colonies. Immunoblotting was used to select the BRCA1 and BRCA2 depleted clones. Clones were maintained in a media containing 3μg/ml puromycin. For transient transfection, we used 4μg of XRCC1, FEN1 siGenome SMART pool siRNA and Non-Targeting siGenome siRNA as a control (Thermo Scientific). Cells were electroporated using the nucleofector system (Amaxa), and were harvested 48h post electroporation.

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.
