The qPCR conditions used have been previously described [10 (link)]. Briefly, total RNA (200 ng) from each sample was reverse transcribed using Superscript III (Invitrogen). MMP-2 (forward-CGGTTTTCTCGAATCCATGA; reverse-GGTATCCATCGCCATGCT) and MMP-3 (forward-CCAGGTGTGGAGTTCCTGA; reverse-GCATCTTTTGGCAAATCTGG) primers were designed based on the Universal ProbeLibrary (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). Reactions were prepared with Absolute Blue qPCR Mix (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA), and run in duplicate on a LightCycler 480 thermocycler (Roche) using Relative Quantitative Software (Roche). Ct (threshold cycle) values were adjusted for GAPDH in each sample (ΔCt). Fold differences were calculated with the 2−ΔΔCt method [22 (link)].

For miRNA-specific complementary DNA synthesis, 10 ng total RNA was reversely transcribed using the TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster city, CA, USA) in combination with multiplexed reverse transcription primers of miR-625-3p (TaqMan, Applied Biosystems). Single assay real-time-PCR for specific miRNAs was performed using 10 ng total cDNA with ABsolute Blue qPCR Mix (Thermo Scientific) and specific miRNA TaqMan Probes. RNU48 and U6 snRNA were used as internal controls for normalization using the ratio relative quantity (RQ) target gene/RQ normalization gene. RQ values were generated by the ViiA7 (Applied Biosystems) Real Time PCR instrument, using the formula RQ = 10[(ct-b)/a] (where ct is the threshold cycle, a and b are slope and intersection respectively, generated from a relative standard curve plotted from a pool of randomly selected samples).

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.
