The full-length coding sequence of psoriasin [GenBank: AJ012825.1] was cloned into pcDNA3.1 [37 (link)] and transfected into TU167 cells by Lipofectamine (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, Canada). Stable clones were selected by zeocin, as a selection marker. Several clones were developed, and immunoblot determined protein expression of psoriasin. TU167-mock was generated by transfection with the empty vector. JMAR cells were also transfected with protein-specific siRNA (Qiagen, Mississauga, ON, Canada) of psoriasin. siRNA was conducted using Dharmafect-4 reagent (Dharmacon).
