Engineered S. thermophilus was grown on LM17 medium for 24 h and collected by centrifugation (12,000 × g, 2 min, 4°C). Total RNA was isolated using the RNAiso Plus kit (Takara Technology Co., Ltd.) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA was reverse-transcribed using the PrimeScript RT reagent kit with gDNA Eraser (Takara). We used 100 ng of cDNA for gene expression analysis. Real-time quantitative (RT-qPCR) was performed in triplicate using the Lightcycler 96 RT-qPCR system (Roche Diagnostics). Data were analyzed using Lightcycler 96 software and the 2 -ΔΔCt method with recA as a reference gene (Kong et al., 2019) (link).

Streptococcus thermophilus ST-1 was activated in LM17 overnight cultures, then transferred to CDM with 0.5 mM GSH at a dilution of 1:50. Cells were collected from CDM when the OD 600nm reached 0.5. Total RNA was isolated with a total RNA midi kit (Omega Bio-Tek Inc., Norcross, GA), and the genomic DNA was eliminated using DNase I (Takara). The quantification and integrity of purified RNA were assessed using Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and agarose gel electrophoresis. The cDNA was prepared by PrimeScript reverse-transcriptase (RT) reagent kit with gDNA Eraser (Takara) and used as template for RT quantitative PCR (qPCR), which was performed on a new Lightcycler 96 RT-qPCR system (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) using a SYBR Premix Ex TaqII kit (Takara). The prim-ers of RT-qPCR are listed in Supplemental Table S1 (https: / / doi .org/ 10 .3168/ jds . 2020 -19234) . The 2 -ΔΔCt method was used to relatively quantify the expression differences of the target genes in Strep. thermophilus ST-1 under static culture or aerobic culture conditions with Lactobacillus CDM exogenous addition of GSH (Schmittgen and Livak, 2008) (link). The reference conditions were the expression of the same gene in Lactobacillus CDM without exogenous addition of GSH, and the 16S rDNA gene of ST-1 was selected as the housekeeping gene (Wang et al., 2015a) .s

Total RNA was isolated from liver tissues with Trizol Reagents (Life technologies, Carisbad, CA, USA). The RNA was reverse-transcribed into complementary (c) DNA using a high-capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Promega Biotech Co., Ltd., Madison, WI, USA). Genes of PPARα, SREBP1, toll like receptor (TLR)-4, MyD88, IκBα, and NOS2 were amplified through real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) with the primers shown in Table 1. GAPDH was used as internal control in all reactions. A LightCycler® 96 RT-qPCR system (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) was employed, with 20 μL reaction volume containing 12.5 μL POWER SYBR green master mix (TAKARA, Dalian, China), 5 μmol/L primer, and 25 ng cDNA template. Reaction was performed with an initial hold step at 95 °C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 5 s, 60 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s. Melting curves of PCR products were acquired stepwise from 55 to 95 °C to ensure their purity. Comparative CT method was employed for target gene quantification, and to be normalized to GAPDH and relative to a calibrator (2−ΔΔCt).

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.
