Reverse transcription

Manufactured by Vazyme
Sourced in China

Reverse transcription is a laboratory technique used to synthesize complementary DNA (cDNA) from a single-stranded RNA template. The core function of this process is to convert RNA into DNA, which can then be used for various downstream applications, such as gene expression analysis, viral detection, and sequencing.

Primers was designed with Primers 5.0 software in the light of the human miR-124-5p and MIEN1 mRNA sequences in GeneBank, and produced in Shanghai Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd. The following primer sequences were used: miR-124-5p (5’-CGTGTTCACAGCGGACCTTGAT-3’), U6 (forward primer: 5’-GCTTCGGCAGCACATATACTAAAAT-3’, reverse primer: CGCTTCACGAATTTGCGTGTCAT-3’), MIEN1 (forward primer: 5’-CAGTGCTGTGGAGCAGT-3’, reverse primer: 5’-GACGGCTGTTGGTGATCTTT-3’), GAPDH (forward primer: 5’-gagcgagatccctccaa-3’, reverse primer: 5’-actgtggtca tgagtccttc-3’). Total RNA was isolated by Trizol reagent. The purity and concentration of RNA were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The first strand of cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China). GAPDH was the MIEN1 mRNA internal reference gene and U6 as the miR-124-5p internal reference gene on ABI7300 fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument. The relative expression level of target gene RQ = 2-ΔΔCT.

Residual genomic DNA was completely removed by wipe Mix, and cDNA was synthesized via reverse transcription (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd, Nanjing, China). qPCR was performed on the CFX96 real-time PCR detection system (Bio-Rad Laboratories Co., Ltd, Hercules, CA, USA) using HiPer SYBR Premix EsTaq (Mei5 Biotechnology, Co., Ltd, Beijing, China). The mecA primer set was designed using primer Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) for the region spanning 36–335 bp, and the housekeeping gene gryB was used as an internal standard for normalization (Table S1 in the supplemental material). The thermal cycling conditions were initial denaturation at 95°C for 2 min followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 5 s and 60°C for 30 s. The experiment was repeated three times. Fold changes in mecA expression were illustrated using GraphPad Prism v8.0 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). The mecA gene was amplified using the synthesized cDNA as template via conventional PCR. Products were sequenced using Sanger sequencing and the sequences were comparatively analyzed.

Total RNA was extracted from C18-4 cells with Trizol reagent after various treatments. A reverse transcription (RT) kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China) was used for the reverse transcription of mRNA into cDNA at 42°C for 2 min with 0.6 μg of total RNA, 4 μl of 4× gDNA wiper mix, and 10 μL of RNase-free water. Then, 4 μL of 5× HiScriptII qRT SuperMixII was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction was continued for 15 min at 50°C and 5 s at 85°C. The mRNA primer sequences for real-time PCR are shown in Supplementary Table S1. Real-time PCR was performed three times with a CFX Connect Real-Time System (BIORAD, Hercules, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
