Total RNA purification was performed using High Pure RNA Isolation Kit (Roche Life Science) with an on‐column enzymatic DNA degradation, according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA concentration was determined on a Nanodrop spectrophotometer and cDNA created using equal amounts of RNA and the TaqMan® Reverse Transcription Reagents with random primers according to manufacturer's instructions (Applied Biosystems). Quantitative PCR was performed using the iTaq SYBR® Green Mastermix with ROX (BioRad) with the following probes: NADH (NDUFC2, Hs01072843_m1), tau (MAPT, Hs00902194_m1), PKR (EIF2AK2, Hs00169345_m1), β‐actin (ActB, Mm00607939_s1), IFN‐β (Ifnb1, Mm00439552_s1), TNF‐α (Tnf, Mm00443260_g1), tau (MAPT, Mm00521988_m1), neuron‐specific class III beta‐tubulin (Tubb3, Mm00727586_s1) and PKR (EIF2AK2, Mm01235643_m1, all Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.).
