Single guide RNAs targeting ATAD3A (oligonucleotides used given in Table 1) were designed using the CRISPOR tool (crispor.tefor.net) and cloned into lentiviral construct lentiCRISPRv2-hygro, a gift from Brett Stringer (Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute, Adelaide, Australia; Stringer et al., 2019 (link); plasmid #98291; Addgene), following the protocol provided on the plasmid website. EVs 3 and 12 are two clones obtained after BSMBI digestion to remove buffer sequence, blunting and ligation using the Quick blunting kit (New England Biolabs), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Lentiviral particles were produced, and THP-1 cells transduced as described for shRNA. 2 d after transduction, transduced cells were selected with 500 µg/ml hygromycin B (Invivogen), and selected cell pools were analyzed 7 d after transduction.
