Gene Expression Analysis via qPCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
mRNA was isolated (Qiagen RNeasy Plus Kit) and transcribed to cDNA (Invitrogen SuperScript III). Gene expression was analyzed using Taqman probes and the OneStep Plus system (Applied Biosystems). Each biological sample was analyzed in experimental replicate (n=2 repeated wells of the qPCR reaction) and the Ct value of each replicate was averaged and handed as n=1 unique biologic sample. Expression for each sample was normalized to β-Actin (ACTA1) gene expression (ΔCt) and relative to peripheral lung tissue control samples (ΔΔCt), and fold change calculated by 2-ΔΔCt (24 (link)). A total of n=3 unique biological samples were analyzed for each experiment.

RNA was isolated using QIAGEN Midi-Prep Kits and RT with Quantiscript (QIAGEN) using random hexamers (Invitrogen). mRNA levels were measured with specific primers (Table S2) using SYBR green on a One Step Plus system (Applied Biosystems). Relative levels of each target gene were calculated using the DDCt formula and 18S RNA as a control.

Isolation and Expression Analysis of RNA from Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded Bowel Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was isolated from tissue that had been fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS overnight and embedded in paraffin blocks. For both in vitro cultured and transplanted bowel, three unique pieces of tissue each were compared, with samples taken a minimum of 0.5 cm in distance apart. Each sample consisted of four 15 μm sections that were deparaffinized with xylene. mRNA was isolated using the RNeasy FFPE Kit (Qiagen) and transcribed to cDNA (Invitrogen SuperScript III). Gene expression was analyzed using Taqman probes and the OneStep Plus system (Applied Biosystems). Each sample was analyzed in 2 replicate qPCR reactions, with the Ct value of each replicate averaged and treated as an n = 1 unique biologic sample. Gene expression for each sample was normalized to human β-Actin (ACTA1) expression (ΔCt) and relative to human jejunum control samples (DDCt), with fold change calculated by 2-ΔΔCt37 (link).

Quantifying TRF2 and miR-23a Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Real-time qPCR for TRF2 was carried out as described previously (Wang et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, total RNAs were isolated using QIAGEN RNeasy Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) and reverse-transcribed using the iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). GAPDH was used as internal control for normalization. For miR-23a, total RNAs were isolated using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and reverse-transcribed using ReverTra-Ace-α-Transcriptase (TOYOBO, Japan). U6 small nuclear RNAs were used as an internal control for normalization. All qPCRs were performed using SYBR green master mix (Applied Biosystems, USA) on Applied Biosystems One-step-plus system.
The primers for miR-23a and U6 were purchased from Ribobio, Guangzhou, China.
The TRF2 primers are TRF2-forward (5′- CCCAAGAACAAGCGCATGAC-3′) and TRF2-reverse (5′-GGGTTGGTTGAGAACGGTGG-3′). The GAPDH primers are GAPDH-forward (5′-GGAGCGAGATCCCTCCAAAAT-3′) and GAPDH-reverse (5′-GGCTGTTGTCATACTTCTCATGG-3′).
The TRF2 3′UTR qPCR primers for RNA pull-down are TRF2 3′UTR-forward (5′- CCAGGTTGATGACAGACCAG-3′) and TRF2 3′UTR-reverse (5′-AGATGTTGACAGCAAATGCC-3′).

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.
