Total RNA was extracted from the hypothalamus of the sacrificed rodents using TRIzol reagent (D9108A, TaKaRa, Osaka, Japan). The concentration and the purity of total RNA were examined by the A260/A280 ratio using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). The integrity of total RNA was also checked using agarose gel electrophoresis. According to the instructions of TaKaRa RNA PCR Kit (AMV) 3.0, all RNA samples were reverse-transcribed using the AMV reverse transcriptase (2621, TaKaRa, Osaka, Japan) and an oligodeoxythymine (oligo(dT)18) (3806, TaKaRa, Osaka, Japan).

Genomic RNA was extracted from the tongue or lung tissues of suckling mice using an RNeasy Mini kit, as previously described [29 ]. The use of all animals in this study was approved by the Review Board of Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. cDNA was synthesized from the extracted RNA with AMV reverse transcriptase (Takara Bio, Japan) using random primers (20 pmol/mL) and used as the template for amplification of the αv and β3 transcripts with PCR. The PCR primer pairs, αvF/αvR and β3R/β3F, respectively, are shown in Table 1. The PCR reaction was performed in a volume of 40 µL. The cycling parameters were as follows: 40 cycles of denaturation at 95℃ for 3 min, annealing at 58℃ for 30 sec, and elongation at 72℃ for 4 min, followed by a final elongation step at 72℃ for 10 min before the reaction was cooled to 4℃ for further processing. The amplicons were purified with a QIAquick Gel Extraction Kit (Takara Bio) and cloned separately into the pGEM-T Easy vector (Promega, USA).

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.
