Stable transfection of miR-200c in SKOV3 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmid vector encoding miR-200c and empty pCMV vector were obtained from OriGene Company. Both vectors had Geneticin (G418) resistance as a marker for screening aims. SKOV3 cells were seeded in a 12 well-plate at a density of 0.5 × 106 cells/well and transfected with 1 μg of pCMV-miR-200c plasmid (miR-200c) or the corresponding empty vector (CTRL) using Lipofectamine 3000 (ThermoFisher Scientific), following the manufacturer’s instructions. 48 h post-transfection, cells were resuspended in fresh culture medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/ml G418 and distributed in 96 well-plate. The cells were kept under G418 selection for a couple of weeks in order to obtain G418 resistant clones. One clone from each transfection with pCMV empty vector and pCMV-miR-200c was obtained and used in our studies.

Cloning and Mutagenesis of CIP2A Promoter

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
pCGN‐vector and pCGN‐ATF6 (1–373) were purchased from Addgene (Cambridge MA, USA). pCMV‐vector and pCMV‐KIAA1524‐DDK were purchased from Origene (Rockville, MD, USA). The upstream region of the CIP2A promoter from the transcription start site (TSS) was cloned by PCR amplification from 293T cell genomic DNA and then inserted into the pGL3‐basic with BglII and HindIII digestions (forward primer: 5ʹ‐ATC GGC TAG CTG CTG ACA CAT CAT CAC AGA TG‐3ʹ; reverse primer: 5ʹ‐ATC GAG ATC TTC TCA GAA GCT TCC GGA TCC‐3ʹ). The mutagenesis for CIP2A promoter was performed using QuickChange site directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) with according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Silencing Ca​v1.3 and TRPV6 in Caco-2 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ADH1B (SKU: SC335414) and ALDH2 (SKU: MC217268) cDNA in pCMV vector were purchased from Origene (Rockville, MD). A vector-based short hairpin RNA (shRNA) method was used to silence CaV1.3 and TRPV6 gene expression in Caco-2 cells. Two targeting sequences each were chosen against the nucleotide sequence of human CaV1.3 (Gene ID: 776 CACNAID; NM_000720.2) and human TRPV6 (Gene ID: ECAC2; NM_018646) using Dharmacon siDesigner software: Target 1, CCGAATAGCTCCAAGCAAA (sequence position 290–308) and Target 2, GGAAGACCCAGAGATACA (sequence position 5697–5715) for CaV1.3, and Target 1, GACAAAGACTCAGTGGAA (sequence position 2207–2224) and Target 2, GAAACAGCGCTACACATA (sequence position 467–484) for TRPV6. To construct shRNA vectors, two pairs of oligonucleotides containing the antisense sequence, hairpin loop region (TTGATATCCG), and sense sequence with cohesive BamHI and HindIII sites were synthesized (Integrated DNA Technologies Inc., Coralville, IA).

Nucleolin Knockdown in DLBCL Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We knocked down nucleolin (NCL) in DLBCL cell lines by electroporation of specific nucleolin-targeting siRNA (AM16708; 144015 target exon 3; siR-1), control non-targeting (AM4635) ThermoFisher, SMARTpool-designed ON-TARGETplus siRNA (siR-2; J-003854-07, target exon 6) and siCONTROL non-targeting siRNA (siR-CON; D-001810) (Dharmacon/Thermo Scientific) using the Neon Transfection System according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Life Technologies). Stable nucleolin knockdown cells were generated using lentiviruses expressing human nucleolin shRNA (sh-NCL-2, Sigma; TRCN0000062283) targeting the UTR of nucleolin, cloned in pLKO.1 vector.17 (link) Transduced cells were selected with puromycin (1μg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich). To reconstitute nucleolin expression in stable nucleolin-knockdown cells, plasmid (pCMV vector; Origene) encoding C-terminal FLAG (DDK)-tagged full-length or deleted domain constructs of nucleolin were transfected into the cells using electroporation and selected with neomycin (G418, 1.0 mg/mL; PAA Laboratories). Expression of exogenous nucleolin in the cells was confirmed with Western blotting.

miR-330 Overexpression in CRC Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Human CRC cells (HCT116 and SW480) were cultured in RPMI 1640, containing 10% FBS (GIBCO, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at 37°C with 5% CO2 condition. The cells were obtained from Pasture institute of Iran (Tehran, Iran) and all experiments were done in cell logarithmic phase. 2×105 HT116 and SW480 cells were transfected by PCMV-miR-330 and empty PCMV construct (as a negative control) at 50%-60% confluence. In order to transfect the constructs into the cells, jetPRIME transfection reagent (Polyplus, France) was used to transfer of PCMV vector (Origene, USA) to the cells according to the company’s instructions. The PCMV construct contains Geneticin resistant sequences for selecting the plasmid recipient cells. The selection of vector positive cells was done in two weeks by using geneticin antibiotic (50 mg/mL).

Functional Validation of SF3B4 and SPAG5

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We purchased SF3B4- and SPAG5-targeted small interfering RNAs (siRNA#1 and 2) from GenePharma (Shanghai, China). The SF3B4 and SPAG5 siRNAs were transfected into CC cells using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, 11668–019). RNA and protein samples were extracted 48 h after transfection. The siRNAs used in this study are shown in Table S1.
SF3B4 open reading frames (ORFs) were purchased from Vigenebio (Jinan, China, CH804949) and cloned into pCMV vector (OriGene, PS100069). SF3B4 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) designed based on siRNA#1 was synthesized by Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China) and cloned into pLKO.1 vector (Addgene, 10879). The cell lines were generated by infecting with lentiviral particles for 24 h and selecting them with puromycin (2 µg/ml) for 7 days to obtain the stable transfection cell lines. The shRNA sequences are shown in Table S1.

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.
