Quantitative PCR Analysis of Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was extracted from rodent left ventricles using the RNeasy Maxi Kit (Qiagen, Crawley, UK). Total RNA (2 µg) was reverse-transcribed using a Taqman reverse transcriptase kit. cDNA (20 ng) was added to each well of a polymerase chain reaction array for quantitative polymerase chain reaction performed (Masterplex® realplex thermal cycler; Eppendorf, Germany). The comparative Ct method (2-∆∆Ct) was used, with hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) or cyclophilin as the housekeeping gene. For samples obtained from sham-operated and SAD animals, evaluation of (2-∆∆Ct) was defined as the fold change in gene expression relative to the rat cerebral cortex. Primers are detailed in Supplementary Table 4.

Transcriptomic Analyses of Snail Populations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Snails for transcriptome analyses were originally collected from different sites in France (MOTU3), Switzerland (MOTU5) and Germany (R. auricularia) between 2005 and 2011 (Additional file 6) and kept in water basins untill the start of this project. Information on treatment and sequence generation for R. balthica snails is reported in a previous study and documented in Feldmeyer et al. [30 (link)]. We placed individual snails in different temperature treatments. In 2011 snails were transferred to 500 ml glass jars and underwent one of six treatments, with two individuals per population, per treatment: Three days at 10 °C or 30 °C with and without aeration, 10 min temperature shock at either 4 °C or 36 °C before storage in RNAlater (Qiagen). RNA was isolated following the RNeasy maxi kit protocol (Qiagen). cDNA production, normalization, and sequencing was performed by GenXPro GmbH (Frankfurt, Germany). Due to technical issues and different time points of sequencing, the three libraries were sequenced on different platforms, MOTU3 + R. auricularia on the 454 FLX system, and MOTU5 on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. Since we were interested in sequence divergence between species, the usage of different platforms will not impair data analyses as might be expected for gene expression studies.

Quantification of miR-612 and NOB1 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from tissues and cultured cells using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen), followed by purification using an RNeasy Maxi kit (Qiagen). MiR‐612 expression was examined using the TaqMan microRNA Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc) in an ABI 7900 real‐time PCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc) following the prescribed protocols. NOB1 mRNA expression was detected as described in our previous study.18 The endogenous control for miR‐612 was U6 while that for NOB1 was GAPDH. Relative expression levels were calculated by the 2−ΔΔCt method using ABI software.19

RNA-Seq Analysis of E16.5 Mouse Forebrain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from two replicates of E16.5 mouse forebrain tissue and purified using
the RNeasy Maxi Kit (Qiagen, Venlo, Limburg, The Netherlands) and sent to Otogenetics for
ribosomal RNA depletion, cDNA production using random primers, library preparation, and pair end
sequencing (~100 bp) using Illumina HiSeq2000. Resulting reads were demultiplexed and aligned
to the mouse genome (mm9) using TopHat v2.0.7.49 (link),51 (link),52 (link) The two replicates were merged and
read counts mapping to each transcript were obtained using HTseq.53 (link) Expression of each transcript was quantified as fragments per kilobase of
transcript per million fragments mapped (FPKM) by dividing the total number of reads mapping to each
transcript by transcript length, and the total number of reads aligned to the genome divided by one
million. The Wilcoxon test from the statistical toolkit R was used to calculate differences in gene
expression between genes whose promoter contains an Auts2-marked site and all other genes. RNA-seq
data from this study are available in SRA (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra; SRR experiment SRR1298758 (replicate 1) and
SRR1298760 (replicate 2)).

S. aureus MR23 was grown under biofilm conditions for 12 h in the presence or absence of 50 μM of the test compound. Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 5000×g at 25 °C for 10 min and immediately incubated with an appropriate volume of RNA Protect (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) for 5 min. Cells were collected by centrifugation at 5000×g at 25 °C for 10 min and stored at −80 °C. Total RNA was extracted using an RNeasy Maxi Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, except that cells were treated with 0.2 mg/mL lysostaphin at 37 °C for 30 min before extraction.

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.
