Total RNA from cell samples in each well was separately extracted using the RNA Extraction Kit (Biotek, RP4002). Purity and concentration of the RNA samples were measured using NanoDrop (Thermo Fisher). Total RNA was used to synthesize cDNA with HiScript® 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Vazyme, R211-02) according to the manufacture’s protocol.
For qPCR, the HiScript One Step qRT-PCR Probe Kit (Vazyme, Q222-01) was used to detect the viral RNA copies, and SYBR Green Kit was used to analyze expression of cellular genes on a Mx3005P Real-Time PCR system (Agilent, United States). Gene-specific primers are listed in Table 1. The cycling parameters included initial denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, followed by 45 cycles (5 s at 95°C and 40 s at 60°C), with a final cooling at 42°C for 30 s. The viral RNA copies were calculated as described (Zhou et al., 2019 (link)). The qPCR parameters for quantification of relative expression of cellular genes were: 95°C for 5 min for initial denaturation; 40 cycles of 95°C for 10 s, 60°C for 30 s, followed by a dissociation curve segment (95°C, 1 min; 60°C, 30 s; 95°C, 30 s). The relative expression of the host cell genes was normalized to GAPDH.

Total RNA was extracted from ~100mg of whole adipose or liver using a commercially available RNA extraction kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). After spectroscopic quantification, 2 μg of RNA was reverse-transcribed and cDNA thus obtained was analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR by standard protocols using an ABI 7900HT instrument. Primer and probe sets for individual genes were purchased from Applied Biosystems (Assay-on-Demand, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). GAPDH was used as the control housekeeping gene. Relative amounts of the target gene were calculated using the ΔΔCt formula.

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.
