A pCDH-BRCA1 plasmid for the mammalian expression of FL BRCA1 was generated by subcloning FL BRCA1 cDNA from pMH-SFB-BRCA1 (Addgene). Plasmids expressing FLAG-tagged WT or S1655A mutant BRCA1 BRCT domains were generated by replacing FL BRCA1 with the corresponding cDNAs along with a nuclear localization signal in pMH-SFB-BRCA1. To generate a GST-tagged BRCT fragment, the corresponding coding sequence was PCR amplified from pMH-SFB-BRCA1 and cloned into pGEX-4T1 (GE Healthcare) between the EcoRI and SalI sites. The mutagenesis primer 5′-GAA TGT CCA TGG TGG TGG CTG GCC TGA CCC CAG AA -3′ was used to generate pGEX-4T1-S1655A. To induce ectopic expression of as-5.8S rRNA, the corresponding as-5.8S rRNA sequence was amplified by PCR using a 5′-AAG CGA CGC TCA GAC AGG CG-3′ forward primer and a 5′-CGA CTC TTA GCG GTG GAT CA-3′ reverse primer, and the PCR product was cloned into an inducible lentiviral pLKO vector (Addgene). as-5.8S mutant rRNA sequence was generated using pLKO-as-5.8S as the template with the following mutagenesis primers: 5′- AGA CAG GCG TAG CCC CGG GCC GCA AGT GCG TT-3′, 5′-CGG GCC GCA AGT GCG TTG TGT GTC CTG CAA TTC ACA TT-3′, 5′-TCC TGC AAT TCA CAT TGG GCC GCA AGT GCG TT -3′, 5′-TGG GCC GCA AGT GCG TTC GAG TGA TCC ACC GCT A-3′. Plasmid 1GFP/RNase H1 D210N for expressing GFP-His6-RNase H1 D210N in E. coli was purchased from Addgene.

Modulating miRNA Activity in Cells

The function of miRNAs was investigated using synthetic, chemically modified, small RNAs that either mimicked (miRNA mimics) or inhibited (miRNA inhibitors) the activity of the specific miRNA in vitro. The BRCA1‐specific siRNAs, miRNA mimics (# B02003) and miRNA inhibitors (# B03001) were synthesized by GenePharm (Shanghai, China). The BRCA1‐siRNAs sequences were as follows: sense, 5’‐GGA AAC CUG UCU CCA CAA AGdTdT‐3’; anti‐sense, 5’‐CUU UGU GGA GAC AGG UUC CdTdT‐3’. The miRNA expression plasmids that contained the miRNA flanking sequence (~300nt), pBART17 and pBART19, were generated by inserting the PCR products into the pcDNA3.1 via HindIII and XhoI sites. The BRCA1 expression vector, pMH‐SFB‐BRCA1, was obtained from Addgene (plasmid #99394).45In the experiment, 1‐2.5 µg of plasmids, 10 nmol/L of miRNA mimics and 20 nmol/L of siRNAs or miRNA inhibitors were used to transfect the cells in the 6‐well or 12‐well plate format. All transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) with standard protocol unless otherwise specified. The stable miR‐BARTexpressing HK1 cells were selected with 200 µg/mL of G418 for 6 weeks.

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.
