Both the calcium phosphate precipitation method [29 ] and the lipofection method using the Lipofectamine 2,000 Reagent (Invitrogen, CA, USA) were used to transfer the Geneticin® resistant gene, pSV2neo, into the yellowtail fin cells. The treated cells were cultured in L-15 medium (Invitrogen, USA) containing Geneticin® (1 mg/mL, Invitrogen, USA) at 22°C to select the transformed cells. More than 300 independent Geneticin®-resistant clones were pooled for the fusion experiments. These cells were irradiated by exposure to 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 8,000, or 10,000 rads (MBR-1520R; Hitachi Power Solutions Co., Ltd., Ibaraki, Japan), and were fused with derivative mouse B78 cells at a 2:1 ratio in the presence of polyethylene glycol 1500 (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The cells were cultivated with DMEM medium (Invitrogen, USA) containing Geneticin® for 3–4 weeks until hybrid clone colonies appeared. DNA was extracted from individual clones using a DNAdvance Kit (Beckman Coulter, CA, USA).

HeLa and U2OS cells were obtained from the Riken Cell Bank (RCB007, Tsukuba, Japan) and the Health Protection Agency (London, UK), respectively. HeLa cells were maintained in DMEM containing 10% calf serum (CS) and U2OS cells were in DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). To generate HeLa cells stably expressing GFP-LacI (HeLa/GFP-LacI), they were transfected with plasmids encoding GFP-LacI using Effectene (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were selected with 800 μg/ml Geneticin (11811-031, Life Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Tokyo, Japan). Several clones were isolated from the survivors and their expression levels were evaluated using Western blotting (WB) analysis. The selected clones were maintained in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 200 μg/ml Geneticin (11811-031, Life Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Tokyo, Japan). We established LEMD2 mutant cell lines (HeLa/mClover3-mAID-Lem2) expressing an mClover3-mAID-Lem2 protein as the sole Lem2 protein as described below (see section Depletion of NE proteins in Methods).

Murine A9 and Human 293T cell lines were propagated as previously described [38] (link), [39] (link). Stable doxycycline-inducible A9 cell lines were generated by infection of A9 cells with pseudotyped virus using the pINDUCER20 lentiviral system [40] (link). Cell lines were selected with 800 µg/ml of geneticin (Gibco) and maintained like regular A9s except for addition of geneticin. A9 cells were parasynchronized in G0 by isoleucine deprivation as previously described [1] (link). pINDUCER20 lentiviral transformed cell lines were induced with 500 ng/mL doxycycline hydrochloride (MP Biomedical). MG132 (Calbiochem) was added at a final concentration of 10 µM.

PODXL1 Knockout in PDAC Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PODXL1-knockout PDAC cell lines (for MIaPaCa-2, AsPC-1, and Panc-1) were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 system. Both plasmids, hCas9 (#41815 Addgene, Watertown, MA), and gRNA (guide RNA) Cloning Vector (#41824), were obtained from Addgene. The gRNA vector including PODXL1 target sequence (CGACACGATGCGCTGCGCGCtgg) located in part of the Exon 1 was prepared following the manufacturer’s instruction with “tgg” sequence as a Proto-spacer Adjacent Motif (PAM). The hCas9 and PODXL1 gRNA vector were cotransfected into cells using ViaFect™ Transfection Reagent (#E4981, Promega, Madison, WI). Twenty-four hours posttransfection, the cells were cultured with RPMI medium containing 500 μg/ml of Geneticin (#10131-35, Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) for isolating the Geneticin-resistant clones. PODXL1-expression deficient clones from each PDAC line were confirmed by lack of PODXL1 protein, using immunoblot analysis with anti-PODXL1 antibody. Genetic mutation of PODXL1 in the knockout clone was also examined by genomic DNA sequencing of PCR-amplified product, using the specific primers for PODXL1-target sequence and the adjacent genomic DNA. The primers used for the sequencing were the following: Pod1.Ex1.check.Fw2: 5′-CAGCGGCAGGGAGGAAGAGC and Pod1.Ex1.check.Rv2 5′-GCGGTGCGGTCTCCCTTTTCTT.

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.
