Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Overexpression and knockdown of L1 were induced by a lentiviral system. Briefly, hL1CAM, shL1CAM, and the control vector were designed and purchased from VectorBuilder (Suzhou, China). The corresponding plasmids were transfected into HEK293T cells by using Transintro EL Transfection Reagent (FT201‐01, TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) to generate lentiviral particles. Thereafter, the supernatant containing viruses was harvested by centrifugation at 4000 × g for 10 min. The stable overexpression (L1‐OE) or knockdown (shL1) of L1 and vector control (VC) groups in U87, T98, and GBM1 glioma cell lines were established by infecting the virus‐containing pellets at 37 °C for 48 h and subsequently selected with 3 μg·mL−1 puromycin for 7 days.
To overexpress or knockdown miR‐143‐3p, the miR‐143‐3p mimic (miR‐143‐3p) and its negative control (NC), miR‐143‐3p inhibitor (in‐miR‐143‐3p) and its negative control (in‐NC), which were designed and purchased from RiboBio (Guangzhou, China), were transfected into different glioma cell lines by using Transintro EL Transfection Reagent (TransGen Biotech). In addition, to inhibit HK2 expression in glioma cells small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting HK2 (siHK2‐1 and siHK2‐2) and its scrambled siRNA control (siNC) were transfected with Transintro EL Transfection Reagent (TransGen Biotech). All primer sequences are listed in Table S1.

At 12 h post-transfection, the medium was replaced by 30 mL of DMEM with 5% FBS and cells were cultured at 27 °C for 3 days. Then cells were freeze-thawed three times and then centrifuged at 10,000× g for 5 min. The supernatant was subsequently incubated with fresh SSN-1 cells at 27 °C for three blind passages (3 days/passage) and the cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed daily.

DTMUV Infection Protein Analysis in Transfected Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transfection of plasmid DNA into cells was performed with the TransIntroTM EL Transfection Reagent (Transgen, Beijing, China), as previously described [26 (link)]. At 24 h post-transfection, cells were infected with DTMUV at an MOI of 1 or mock-treated with UV-DTMUV and cultured in FBS-free media until harvest for the extraction of proteins and/or RNA at the indicated time post-infection.
Proteins in the total cell lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was probed by incubation with primary antibodies and a secondary antibody conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate, and protein bands were detected with an Azure c600 imager. Densitometric quantification of band density was performed using the NIH programme Image J (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/) (accessed on 18 October 2021). Each experiment was performed three times with comparable findings, and a single typical result is displayed.

Plasmid Transfection and Capsid Protein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmids pVAX-C and pVAX were prepared using the EndoFree Plasmid Kit (Tiangen, Beijing, China) and were transfected into COS7 cells using the TransIntroTM EL Transfection Reagent (TransGen Biotech, Beijing, China) when the cells were growing at around 80% confluent in six-well plates. The expression of the capsid protein in the cells post 48 h transfection was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence as described previously [21 (link)]. Briefly, transfected cells were washed with phosphate-buffered-saline (PH 7.2) (PBS), then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS and blocked with 5% BSA in PBS (BSA-PBS). After that, the cells were incubated with rabbit anti-capsid protein polyclonal antibody (prepared by our lab) as the primary antibody diluted 1:100 in BSA-PBS for 2 h, followed by incubation with the Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Thermo Fisher, Lafayette, CO, USA) as the secondary antibody was diluted 1:2000 in BSA-PBS for 2 h at room temperature. The cell nuclei were counterstained with 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for 10 min at room temperature. The cells were examined by fluorescence microscopy (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

C2C12 myoblasts and NIH3T3 cells were purchased from ATCC (American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) and CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China), respectively. HEK293T cells were kindly provided by Prof. Jianhua Wu (South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China). The C2C12 myoblasts, NIH3T3 and HEK293T cells were all maintained in high-glucose DMEM, supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, Logan, UT, USA), 2 mM L-Glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China) (growth medium, GM) in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C. The C2C12 myoblasts (passage 7~10) were transfected using Via-FectTM (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), while the NIH3T3 and HEK293T cells were transfected with TransIntroTM EL Transfection Reagent (Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China). For C2C12 myoblast differentiation, the cell-cultured medium was switched to DMEM containing 2% horse serum, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (differentiation medium, DM) once the C2C12 myoblasts became confluent.

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.
