Samples from the RT reaction were prepared with the miRCURY SYBR Green PCR Kit (QIAGEN) and assessed for miRNA gene expression using the miRCURY LNA miRNA Serum/Plasma Focus PCR Panels (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The interpolate calibrator UniSp3 was used to account for the variability between plates. Real-time qPCR analysis was performed in the CFX Connect PCR System (Bio-Rad) at 95°C for 2 min to heat samples, followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 10 s, and 56°C for 60 s, followed by melting curve analysis. The analyzed miRNAs primer information can be found in Table S6. qPCR amplification curves were evaluated with CFX Manager software (Bio-Rad). The specificity of the amplification was confirmed by the melting curve analysis. Then, the expression level of each miRNA was calculated using the 2−ΔCq method (where ΔCq = CqmiRNA − Cq hsa-miR-103a-3p). The normalized miRNA levels were further log2 converted.

To prepare quantitative Real-Time PCR, we used TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix (Applied Biosystems); and for quantitative with microRNA, we used miRCURY SYBR Green PCR Kit (Qiagen). Quantitative Real-Time PCR was performed on real-time cycler (Quant Studio 5, Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA). Each sample was analyzed in duplicates. From that, we took the mean Ct value, and we used it in the next steps of the analysis. Ct values higher than 35 were taken out of analysis and considered below quantification. The housekeeping gene has been selected and relative expression was calculated by ΔΔCt method or ΔCt method normalized to RPLO; in the case of microRNA, SNORD48 was used as a reference.

Samples with an A260/280 ratio from 1.7 to 2.1 were used for analysis. miRNA target-specific primer hvu-miR156a with locked nucleic acid was designed. The target miRNA hvu-miR156a sequence was 5′-TGACAGAAGAGAGTGAGCACA-3′. HvsnoR14 was used as a reference gene for the normalization of miRNA expression values. Reverse transcription for miRNAs was performed using the Thermal Cycler UNO96 (VWR, United Kingdom) and miRCURY LNA RT Kit (Qiagen, Germany) according to the protocol first-strand cDNA synthesis. For miRNA qRT-PCR analysis, miRCURY SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen, Germany) was used according the manufacturer's protocol.

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.
