    Article Snippet: To introduce vectors and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) into cells, cells were transfected with vectors or siRNA duplexes using FuGENEHD (E2311; Promega, Madison, WI) or Oligofectamine Reagent (12252011; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA) for 2 days, respectively. .. The LAMC2 vector [pDNA(VB900003-3865dfu)], theMMP7 vector (RC201225), the DNMT1 vector (RG226414), and the DNMT1 shRNA vector were purchased from VectorBuilder, Inc. (Chicago, IL), OriGene Technologies, Inc. (Rockville, MD), OriGene Technologies, Inc., and Sigma-Aldrich, respectively. .. To generate DNMT1-knocked down stable cell line, DNMT1 shRNA vector (TRCN0000232751 and TRCM0000021893, Sigma-Aldrich)-transfected cells were selected with 7.5 mg/mL puromycin (Sigma-aldrich) for 2 weeks.

Ratio of red: blue droplets are shown. AI value written in red is the maternal AI.
