Total RNA was extracted from api-AuNPs-treated and untreated KKU-M055 cells using GF-1 total RNA extraction kit (Vivantis Technologies, Selangor, Malaysia) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The first strand complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized by reverse transcription with oligo d(T) primers using the Improm II™ reverse transcriptase system (Promega). RT-PCR was performed to detect the expression level of apoptotic genes (Bax, Bid, and Caspase 3), pro-survival gene (Bcl-2) and reference gene (Actin), using a Toptaq Master Mix Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The PCR reaction of the above genes was carried out in a T100 Thermal Cycler PCR system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) using the primer sequences as shown in Table 1.

The V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene from each sample was amplified using the universal bacterial primers F1 and R2 (5’-CCTACGGGNGGCWGCAG-3’and 5’-GACTACHVGGGTATCTAATCC-3’); these primers correspond to positions 341 to 805 in the Escherichia coli 16S rRNA gene. The PCR reactions were run in a T100™ Thermal Cycler PCR system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., United States) using the following protocol: 3 min of denaturation at 95 °C, followed by 21 0.5-min denaturation cycles at 94 °C, 0.5 min of annealing at 54 °C, and 0.5 min of elongation at 72 °C, with a final 5 min extension at 72 °C.

Repetitive element palindromic PCR (rep-PCR) was carried out using the primers Pot2-1 and Pot2-2 (Supplementary Table S2) as described previously (George et al. 1998) . For each rep-PCR amplification, a 25 μl total reaction volume was used consisting of 1.25 μl (10 μM) of each primer pair, 2 μl (20 to 30 ng) genomic DNA, 2.0 μl 10× ExTaq buffer, 1.5 μl dNTPs (400 mM each), 16.2 μl distilled water, and 0.3 μl ExTaq DNA polymerase (Takara Bio Inc., Japan). The PCR reaction mixture was amplified by an initial denaturation at 95°C for 2.5 min; four cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 1 min, annealing at 62°C for 1 min, and extension at 65°C for 10 min; followed by 26 cycles of denaturation at 94°C for 30 s, annealing at 62°C for 1 min, and extension at 65°C for 10 min, and with a final extension at 65°C for 15 min in a T100 thermal cycler PCR system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, U.S.A.). The genetic pattern generated by rep-PCR was scored based on the presence or absence of a DNA band of a particular size in all tested isolates. Dice's coefficient was used to determine the similarity matrices, and cluster analysis was performed with BioNumerics software (Applied Math Inc, TX, U.S.A.) by using the UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages) method. The experiment was repeated three times and resolved consistent genetic patterns in different replicates.

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.
