RNA from cells or from lymph-nodes and footpads tissue was extracted using respectively a microRNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen) or TRIzol Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific), according to the manufacturer’s protocols. RNA (2 μg) was reverse transcribed using (200 U) Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (SuperScript II, Invitrogen). Subsequent real time PCR was performed on Step One Plus (Applied Biosystems) using Taq polymerase (Taq-Man Universal PCR master mix, Applied biosystems). All PCR data values were normalized to the expression of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene.

Cells were cultured on curved collagen gels for 48 hours; gels were then cut into three sections—one curved region and two plateau regions—using a razor blade (Sup. Fig. 1C). Curved and plateau regions were separated and then pooled across six collagen gels. The resulting curved or plateau samples were placed into 350 μL Buffer RLT (Qiagen; Valencia, CA), passed through a 22G needle five times, and then passed through a 27G needle five times. RNA was collected and isolated using the Micro-RNeasy Extraction kit (Qiagen), and cDNA was synthesized using the Qiagen FirstStrand Kit according to manufacturer’s instructions. qRT-PCR was performed using mouse primers for Mmp-1a, Mmp-2, Mmp-8, Mmp-9, Mmp-13, Mmp-14, and Gapdh (all Qiagen) with SsoAdvanced Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad; Hercules, CA). PCR was run on a CFX real time PCR machine (Bio-Rad) for a total of 40 cycles and three samples were run in duplicate for each condition. Data is expressed as fold change, with ± 2-fold set as the threshold for significance.

RNA was isolated from PC-3 cells using RNeasy micro-extraction kit (Qiagen, Germany) and quantified, and the purity was determined by measuring absorbance at 280, 260, and 230 nm using an ND-1000 nanodrop spectrophotometer (LabTech International, UK). After reverse transcription, cDNA was subjected to microarray analysis using the Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array (Affymetrix, High Wycombe, UK). Gene expression levels were analyzed using Microarray Suites software. Sequences used in the design of this array were selected from the GenBankTM, dbEST, and RefSeq databases.

Cells were starved in 2% FBS-EBM2 with and without inhibitors for 16 hours. Total cellular RNA was extracted with a RNeasy Micro extraction kit (Qiagen). Reverse transcriptase reactions were performed using an iScript™cDNA synthesis kit (BioRad). qPCR was performed using iTaq Universal SYBR Green Supermix (BioRad). Amplification was carried out in an ABI 7500 (Applied Biosystems). A relative standard curve of each gene amplification was generated to determine the amplification efficiency, with greater than 90% considered acceptable. Gene expression was normalized to GNAQ 27 (link). ATP5B and HPRTI were used as housekeeping genes. Quantitative analysis was performed according to delta CT based Pfaffl’s method 28 (link). Primer sequences are shown in Table 2.

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.
