First morning urine samples obtained at the time of kidney biopsy were centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 20 min at 4 °C within 2 h after sample collection. Then, the obtained urinary sediments were resuspended in 1.5 ml DEPC-treated PBS and centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 5 min at 4 °C. One millilitre of RNAiso Plus (Takara, Life Technologies) was added to preserve total RNA, and the samples were stored at −80 °C until use. Total RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Ambion, Life Technologies). We measured the RNA concentrations using a NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo) based on the relative absorbance ratio at 260/280, and the RNA purity was also assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The qualified RNA samples were stored at −80 °C until use.
We used the kit from Invitrogen to reverse transcribe the total RNA (Invitrogen, Life Technologies), which was stored at −20 °C until use. mRNA-expression levels were quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase-chain-reaction (qPCR) assays in an ABI PRISM7700 system (Applied Biosystems). The thermocycling conditions were set as follows: 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of 15 s at 95 °C and 60 °C for 1 min. Dissociation curves and melting temperatures were recorded and relative mRNA expression levels were calculated by the ΔΔCt method27 (link).

Genotyping and Genome-wide Imputation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genotyping was performed with all patients. Genomic DNA was prepared from leukocytes of peripheral blood with a QuickGene-610L DNA extraction kit (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan). During the discovery stage, genome-wide genotyping was performed using the HumanOmni2.5–8 BeadChip Kit (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). To ensure high-quality genotype data, a series of quality control filters were applied to the raw data, including a MAF cutoff of >0.01 and genotyping success rate of >95%. Genome-wide imputation was performed using the Michigan Imputation Server (https://imputationserver.sph.umich.edu/index.html) with ASN population haplotypes from the 1000 Genomes project (phase 3) as reference sequences. Series of quality-control filters were applied again to the post-imputed dataset, including a MAF cutoff of >0.01, a genotyping success rate of >90%, and an individual call rate of >90%. Quality control was performed using PLINK (version 1.07; http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink; accessed April 11, 2015). During the replication stage, samples were genotyped using TaqMan SNP assays with the ABI PRISM 7700 system (Applied Biosystems Inc., Foster City, CA). We did not consider deviations in genotype distributions from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium because all samples were from patients with AMD.

Quantitative PCR Analysis of Gonad mRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was isolated from gonads dissected from one day-old (after the L4-to-adult molt) animals. cDNA was synthesized with oligo(dT) primers using the ImProm II Reverse transcription system from Promega according to manufacturer's instructions. cDNA was used for qPCR with the Absolute QPCR SYBR green ROX mix (AbGene) on an ABI PRISM 7700 system (Applied Biosystems). qPCR reactions were performed as previously described [31] (link). At least one primer in each pair is specific for an exon-exon junction. Human carrier RNA was added to each sample before RNA extraction, allowing normalization to hGAPDH. Standard curves for quantification were generated from a serial dilution of input cDNA for each primer pair. The amount of target present in each replicate was derived from a standard curve; an average was calculated for the triplicates. To compare total mRNA levels, the qPCR results were normalized to human GAPDH and to the wild-type values for each primer pair and fold enrichments were calculated. For primers used, see Text S1.

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.
