THP-1 cells were treated with different doses of LLLT and total RNA was isolated from cells immediately (t = 0) or 6 hours after LPS stimulation. Total RNA was extracted from cells using TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer's instruction. Three μg of RNA from each sample was then reverse-transcribed into first-strand cDNA in 20 μL of reaction mixture using the SuperScript First-Strand Synthesis System with the Real-time PCR kit (Invitrogen). Measurements were performed by an ABI PRISM 9700 HT sequence detection system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) using a predeveloped Taqman probe/primer combination for M1-related genes and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) from the same cDNA samples. Taqman PCR was performed in 10 μL using AmpliTaq Gold polymerase and the universal master mix (Applied Biosystems). Threshold cycle numbers were transformed using the comparative threshold cycle and relative value methods according to the manufacturer's recommendation and expressed relative to G3PDH, which is used as a housekeeping gene by multiplexing single reactions. The M1-related cytokine and chemokine genes are as follows: CCL2/MCP-1, CXCL10/IP-10, and TNF-α.

Example 14

HEK293T cells were treated with an exemplary polypeptide alpha (FQGRLLRLYILP; SEQ ID NO: 19) linked to an exemplary SNA (e.g. 5′-AAGTAAGTGTGCCCTCTACTGGCAGCAGAGATCAT-3′; SEQ ID NO: 20 resulting in a polypeptide-SNA of, e.g. SEQ ID NO: 10) engineered to bind to sequences flanking a MYC gene sequence (with or without fluorescent dye). Additional exemplary polypeptides are listed in Table 1. At 72 hours post-treatment, cells were harvested for RNA extraction and cDNA was synthesized (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to manufacturer's protocols. cDNA was used as a template for quantitative real-time PCR.

MYC-specific quantitative PCR probes/primers were multiplexed with internal control quantitative PCR probes/primers and gene expression was subsequently analyzed by a real time PCR kit (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Cells treated with SNAs that are complementary to sequences proximal to the MYC gene showed reduction in MYC expression indicating translocation of a provided polypeptide and linked SNA.

Preliminary studies with an exemplary polypeptide alpha conjugated to SNAs indicate no adverse effects of peptides on ability of SNAs to reduce MYC expression levels.

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.
