RNA was extracted from snap-frozen colon tissue using the RNAeasy RNA Purification Kit (Qiagen) including on-column DNase digestion. qPCR was performed using a Power SYBR Green RNA-to-CT 1-Step Kit (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reactions were performed in 25 μl containing 50 ng RNA, 12.5 μl SYBR Green mix, 0.16 μl RT mix, and 0.2 μM primer (for sequences see Supplementary Table 4). Program: 30 min at 48 °C; 10 min at 95 °C; followed by 40 cycles of 15 s at 95 °C/60 s at 60 °C. For each oligonucleotide pair and RNA sample, the reaction was performed in triplicate. The amplification plots obtained from the RT-PCR were analyzed with StepOne™ Real-Time PCR Software v2.2. The expression levels of the target genes were normalized to the levels of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene expression in each individual sample.

Quantitative RT-PCR Analysis of Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was extracted from snap-frozen corpus tissue using the RNAeasy RNA Purification Kit (QIAGEN) including on-column DNase digestion. qPCR was performed using a Power SYBR Green RNA-to-CT 1-Step Kit (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reactions were performed in a reaction mix of 25 μl containing 50 ng RNA, 12.5 μl SYBR Green mix, 0.16 μl RT mix, and 0.2 μM primer. Reactions were performed for 30 minutes at 48°C followed by 10 minutes at 95°C and then 40 cycles of 15 seconds at 95°C/60 seconds at 60°C.
For primers used in this study, see Table 1.
For each oligonucleotide pair and RNA sample, the reaction was performed in duplicate. The amplification plots obtained from RT-PCR were analyzed with the ABI Prism SDS Software package, version 2.2.2 (Applied Biosystems). The expression levels of the target genes were normalized to the levels of Gapdh expression in each sample.

At each designated time point of the experiment, the parasites were washed off the PHCM cells and the cells were lysed in RNA extraction lysis buffer as described by the manufacturer. Total RNA was purified with the RNAeasy RNA purification kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). The RNA purification step included an on column DNase treatment step to eliminate traces of genomic DNA as described by the manufacturer (Qiagen). The quality of the purified RNA was analyzed using the Bioanalyzer 2100 system (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The quality of purified RNA was assessed by RNA Integrity Number (RIN) and samples with a RIN of at least 7 were used for further analysis.

Total RNA was extracted from islets and INS-1 832/13 cells using RNAeasy RNA purification kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany). Equal quantities of total RNA were reverse transcribed using RevertAid™ First-Strand cDNA synthesis kit (Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania). qRT-PCR was performed on ViiA7 qRT-PCR system, using predesigned TaqMan Gene Expression assays (PE Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Gene expression was determined by the absolute quantification method and normalized to the expression of Hprt.

Quantitative Real-Time PCR for Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from αTC1-6 and INS-1 832/13 cells using RNAeasy RNA purification kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany). RNA concentrations were determined using a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). Equal quantities of total RNA were reverse transcribed using RevertAid™First-Strand cDNA synthesis kit (Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania) or Superscript III (Life Technologies) in reactions containing 500 ng or 1000 ng of total RNA. Quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) was performed with 7900 HT Fast Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems). The PCR reaction mix consisted of first-strand cDNA template, primer pairs (for details, see supplementary table 1), 6-carboxyfluorescein/quencher probes (Bioresearch Technologies, CA and Applied Biosystems), and PCR Master mix (Applied Biosystems) and was carried out as previously described [40 (link)]. Expression of selected targets was compared with that of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (Hprt) measured on the same sample in parallel on the same plate, using the comparative Ct method.

Isolated islets from DRLyp/Lyp (n = 6, 3M/3F) and control (n = 7, 3M/4F) rats were frozen (−80°C) after isolation or after 5–7 days in culture (37°C, 5% CO2 in RPMI medium, 5.6 mmol/l glucose, 10% FBS + penicillin [100 units/ml]–streptomycin [100 μg/ml]). Total RNA was extracted (RNAeasy RNA purification kit; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and equal quantities of RNA were reverse transcribed (RevertAid First-Strand cDNA synthesis kit; Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania). mRNA levels were quantified (Maxima Probe/ROX qPCR Master Mix; Fermentas, Thermo Scientific, Helsingborg, Sweden) using an ABI PRISM 7900 (Applied Biosystems ViiA Real Time PCR System; Life Technologies, Foster City, CA, USA), using probes for Il1b (ID no. Rn00580432), Tnf-α (also known as Tnf) (ID no. Rn01525859), Ifng (ID no. Rn00594078) and Glut2 (also known as Slc2a2) (ID no. Rn00563565) (Applied Biosystems). Samples were run in triplicate and the transcript quantity was normalised to the geometric mean of mRNA levels of the reference genes (Applied Biosystems) Ppia (ID no. Rn00690933), Polr2a (ID no. Rn01752026) and Hprt (also known as Hprt1) (ID no. Rn01527840), using the formula 2(minCt – sampleCt).

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.
