“…Using a previously described protocol 42,44 , cells were stably transduced using lentiviral particle containing pLKO.1 vector (Horizon Discovery, Waterbeach, UK) encoding: CDCP1-specific shRNA (shCDCP1 44 ), one of two uPA-specific shRNA (shuPA#1 or #2, targeting sequences: CGCATGACTTTGACTGGAATT and CCCAAAGAAGGAGGACTACAT, respectively), one of two uPA receptor-specific shRNA (shuPAR#1 or #2, targeting sequences: GCTTGAAGATCACCAGCCTTA and CCTGAAGAACAGTGCCTGGAT, respectively) or a Non-targeting shRNA (shNT 44 ). In addition, TKCC05 cells stably expressing shCDCP1 were generated from cells pre-labelled with a previously described luciferase-coding construct to generate TKCC05-Luciferase-shCDCP1 42,44 . TKCC05-Luciferase-shCDCP1 and OVMZ6 cells were transduced with a pLenti-PGK-Hygro-DEST expression construct (w530-1, Addgene, Cambridge, MA) inserted with coding sequence of wild type CDCP1 (WT-CDCP1) or a cleavage sites mutated form of CDCP1 (R 368 A and K 369 A; designated DM) [40][41].…”
