Total RNA was isolated from 100 mg of fresh leaf tissue harvested at 5 dpi by using the GeneJET Plant RNA Purification Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The RNA was treated with rDNase (Invitrogen) before cDNA synthesis. The cDNA was synthesized from 1 µg of total RNA using the PrimeScript™ RT-PCR Kit (Takara). Three technical replicates were measured for gene expression levels in each cDNA sample. The SYBR® fluorescent dye (TB Green® Premix Ex Taq™, Takara) was employed for reporting the amplification of cDNA in the Applied biosystem 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR system with specific primer pairs for either DFR or PAL2 genes (Additional file 1: Table S2). F-BOX gene was amplified as an internal reference (Liu et al., 2012) for determining DFR/PAL2 gene expression in each sample (ΔCt). The differential DFR/PAL2 gene expression levels were calculated according to the comparative ΔΔCt method as the ratio between the samples agroinfiltrated with the dCasEV2.1 and a gRNA targeting the DFR/PAL2 promoter (gNbDFR/gNbPAL2) and those including the same construct but an unrelated gRNA (gMTB), both for copper and water treatments [19 ].

MPs were purified from treated cell supernatants as described above. After suspension of MPs in PBS, the MP numbers were quantitated by flow cytometry as described above. For experiments to digest DNA, MPs were treated with recombinant DNase I (rDNase; 10U rDNase / 4×106 MPs; Life Technologies) for 60 min at 37°C. After this treatment, the MPs were transferred to flow cytometry tubes at an MP density of 2×105/tube. To assess HMGB1 content, samples were stained with a Phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated mouse anti-human HMGB1 antibody (2ul/tube; monoclonal antibody directed to residues 2–215, R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN) or a PE-conjugated mouse IgG2b (R&D Systems) for 60min at 20°C. To assess DNA, MPs were stained with a mouse monoclonal anti-dsDNA antibody (clone 163p.132; 4ug/tube; a kind gift from Dr. Tony Marion) or a mouse IgG2b (isotype control; 4ug/tube; Sigma-Aldrich). After this step, MPs treated with either anti-DNA or isotype control were incubated with a F(ab')2 sheep anti-mouse IgG PE (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30min at 20°C in the dark. The samples were then analyzed by flow cytometry.

Frozen abdominal or pericardial fat tissues (~50mg) were homogenized in 350ul of ice cold lysis buffer, supplied by mirVana PARIS total RNA isolation kit (Life Technologies, Cat# AM1556).
Total RNA was then isolated from homogenized samples, and its concentration measured by a Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop). 50μl of the RNA samples were then treated with 2 units for rDNase (Life Technologies, Cat# AM1906) to remove possible contaminating DNA. First-strand cDNA was produced from 300ng of total RNA using SuperScript VILO cDNA Synthesis kit (Life Technologies, Cat#11754-050). Relative quantitative PCR was performed using Taqman assays, containing 20ng of cDNA products. Taqman assays included the followings: iNOS (Ss03374608), CD86 (Ss03394398), mannose-receptor (Ss03373693), CD11c (AJ1RVEU), TNF-a (Ss03391318), IL-6 (Ss03384604), CD-68 (AJWR2PY), arginase-1 (Ss03391398) and GAPDH (Ss03374854, for internal control), all from Life Technologies. Negative controls with no cDNA were cycled in parallel with each run. PCR analysis was done on Applied Biosystems ViiA7 Real-Time PCR systems at the following conditions: 50°C for 2 minutes, 95°C for 10 minutes and 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 seconds and 60°C for 1 minute. Fold-changes of each target gene in the obese relative to lean group were calculated using the 2-ΔΔCT method. Fold changes greater than 2 are considered as significant.

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.
