Total RNA was extracted from the midguts of sixth-instar larvae at 24 h PE (feeding; MgF) and 72 h PE (wandering; MgW), and those at 72 h PE pretreated with dsCD209 or dsGFP using TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The cDNA libraries (MgF-1, -2, -3, -4; MgW-1, -2, -3, -4; dsCD209-1, -2, -3; dsGFP-1, -2, and -3) were constructed as described [59 (link)]. Briefly, mRNAs were isolated using oligo(dT) beads and then fragmented. Double-stranded cDNAs were synthesized using EasyScript cDNA synthesis SuperMix (TransGen Bio-tech, Beijing, China), followed by sequencing on the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform (San Diego, USA) at Majorbio Bio-Pharm Technology Co., Ltd. Clean reads were obtained after filtration of raw reads and aligned to the H. armigera genome (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/13316?genome_assembly_id=319039) using TopHat software (http://tophat.cbcb.umd.edu/). Mapped reads were assembled and all unigenes were run in BLASTx against the non-redundant database. DEGs in the libraries (MgW vs. MgF; dsCD209 vs. dsGFP) were determined using a fold cut-off change value ≥ 2 and adjusted p-value < 0.05.

Validation of Differentially Expressed circRNAs in iCCA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To verify the authenticity of the DE circRNAs that were identified from the iCCA, 7 DE circRNAs (hsa_circ_0006114, hsa_circ_0015839, hsa_circ_0058010, hsa_circ_0000020, hsa_circ_0001727, hsa_circ_0006633, and hsa_circ_0026920) were randomly selected for validation with the real-time PCR. According to the flanking sequences of the junction sites of these circRNAs, the divergent primers were designed to do the validation (Table 1). After extracting the total RNAs from the iCCA and iCCAP samples, as mentioned above, cDNA was obtained using the EasyScript cDNA Synthesis SuperMix (Transgen Biotech, Beijing, China). The expression levels of these DE circRNAs were detected using the real-time PCR in iCCA (n = 10) and iCCAP (n = 10). The real-time PCR was done using the Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad, United States) with the Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad, United States). We used β-actin (internal standard control) as the reference gene to calculate the expression levels of the circRNAs using the 2−ΔΔCt method (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 (link)). All the experiments were repeated in triplicate.

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.
