The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex were dissected from the whole brain. The dissection took no more than 10 min per animal. Samples were flash frozen, homogenized a using rotor homogenizer, and then soaked in RNA-later buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Total RNA was isolated from a 10-mg sample of tissue from the frontal cortex (F) and hippocampus (H) of the brains of rats. Total RNA isolation was performed from the rat brains for expression analysis of individual genes for each individual animal. Total RNA isolation was conducted using a Direct-Zol RNA Mini-Prep Kit (Zymo Research) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The concentration of isolated total RNA was measured using a Quant-iT RNA BR Assay Kit and a Qubit fluorimeter (Invitrogen). RNA quality was monitored using an Experion automated electrophoresis system (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The RNA quality index, measured using BioAnalyzer (Agilent), was higher than 8.5 in all samples.
Whole-transcriptome analysis was performed using samples of tissue isolated from hippocampus of the rats brain. For this purpose, 5 mg of brain tissue were taken from each of the 8 animals in each group (the control group, the group decapitated 20 min after the FST, and the group decapitated 24 h after the FST).

RNA Extraction and Normalization from Beetle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was extracted from 23 adults and 142 larvae of L. decemlineata using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer's protocol for animal tissues. The RNA was extracted from 20 mg of tissue from the head, thorax or abdomen of adult beetles, from the head of 3rd and 4th instar larvae and from pools of entire 1st and 2nd instar larvae. Extracted RNA was checked for integrity and size and then quantified using a Quant-IT RNA BR assay kit (Invitrogen). The single extracts were diluted to obtain a concentration of 100 ng/μl. Extraction was conducted in two different laboratories, and two pools of equal amounts of RNA were obtained, one for Russia and Camposampiero and one for Montello, for both adults and larvae. Each pool, consisting of a total of 5 µg of RNA, was stored in pure ethanol and shipped to Evrogen Labs Ltd., Moscow. The two adult and the two larval RNA pools were used for ds cDNA synthesis using the SMART approach [87] (link). SMART-prepared amplified cDNAs were pooled (ratio: ¾ of the Russia/Camposampiero pool and ¼ of the Montello pool) and then normalized using the DSN normalization method [88] (link) to reduce overabundant transcripts. Normalization included cDNA denaturation/reassociation, a treatment by duplex-specific nuclease (DSN [89] (link)) and the amplification of the normalized fraction by PCR.

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.
