DNA Extraction and qPCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were harvested from animals and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tissues were cold processed with pestle and mortar and then genomic DNA was isolated using Quiagen’s DNeasy Blood and Tissue kit. DNA concentration was measured in quadruplicate and then serially diluted to 3 picograms/μl. Two μl of diluted genomic DNA was then loaded into SYBR Green Master Mix reaction and assayed using mL1 primers on BioRad CFX Connect Real Time machine.

When the cells were fused to 80%, Trizol Reagent was used to isolate the total RNA, and then the cells were treated with DNase. cDNA was synthesized using Superscript III (Life Technologies) cDNA kit with the Random Hexamer primer. SYBR Green Master Mix (BioRad) was used to perform PCR on the BioRad CFX Connect Real Time machine using 30 ng of cDNA per reaction with 4x reactions. Denaturation, annealing, and extension were performed under the following conditions: 95°C for 30 sec, 95°C for 5 sec for a total of 45 cycles, and 60°C for 20 sec. Relative gene expression was analyzed by the 2−ΔΔCt method [18 (link)] and standardized by the GAPDH level. The primers were listed as below:
SIRT6 F: 5’-GCAGTCTTCCAGTGTGGTGT- 3’, SIRT6 R: 5’-GATCTGCAGCGATGTACCCA- 3’.
Osteocalcin (OCN) F: 5’-GCAGTCTTCCAGTGTGGTGT-3’, OCN R: 5’-GATCTGCAGCGATGTACCCA- 3’.

Quantifying Full-Length L1 Transcripts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from cells at 80% confluence using Trizol Reagent and then treated with DNase. cDNA was synthesized using Superscript III (Life Technologies) cDNA kit with the Random Hexamer primer. qRT-PCR was performed on the BioRad CFX Connect Real Time machine with SYBR Green Master Mix (BioRad) using 30 ng of cDNA per reaction with 4x reactions/sample. Probes targeting a conserved region of the L1MdA1 family the first 108 bp of ORF1 coding region were used to assess full length L1 transcripts. Additonal primers targeting bp 2288–2430 of the L1MdA ORF2 reading frame were assessed, along with primers to the L1MdTf family ORF1 and ORF2 reading frames (bp 706–900 and bp 3362–3536, respectively). All primer sets were tested for specificity and efficiency. All primer sets produced comparable results and expression trends equivalent to the L1MdA ORF1 primer pair. Efficiency verified L1MdA1 (mL1) primers previously described were used to assess L1 transcript abundance standardized to QuantumRNA Actin Universal primers (Van Meter et al., 2014 (link)). All primers can be found in Key Resources Table.

For total RNA extraction, 400-600 36 hpf Tg(myl7:GFP) transgenic embryos were euthanized using tricaine. Hearts were dissociated in L-15 media using gel loading pipette tips, and GFP fluorescence was used to manually isolate the population (Lombardo et al., 2015 (link)). The isolated hearts were briefly washed with L-15 media supplemented with 10% BSA and total RNA was extracted using Trizol (Ambion) with phenol/chloroform extraction. cDNA was synthesized using the iScript Kit (BIO-RAD, catalogue number: 1708841) using 1,000 ng of RNA per 20 μL reaction. qRT-PCR was performed using SYBR green (Bio-Rad) using CFX Connect Real-Time machine with a minimum of three independent biological and technical samples. The following primers were used:

Tissues were stored in RNAprotect Tissue Reagent (Qiagen, 76106) at -80°C until processing. They were lysed with a FastPrep 5G (MP Biomedicals) in lysing matrix A tubes (MP Biomedicals, 6910050). mRNA was extracted with the RNeasy minikit (Qiagen, 74106), according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and quantified with Nanodrop spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). cDNA was synthesized from mRNA with the Maxima First-Strand cDNA synthesis kit for RT-qPCR (Thermo Fisher Scientific, K1642) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. qPCR reactions were run on a CFX Connect Real-Time machine (Bio-Rad) with Taqman universal master mix II (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 4440040) and Taqman primers (Thermo Fisher Scientific: Gapdh, Mm99999915_g1; Ncr1, Mm01337324_g1; Ifn-γ, Mm01168134_m1; Gzmb, Mm00442834_m1).

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.
