Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 60 adult male SD rats weighing 200–250 g were divided into six groups using a random number table: the control group, AOH group, miR-93-5p agomir group with AOH (miR-93-5p+AOH), miR-93-5p agomir negative control group with AOH (miR-93-5p NC+AOH), siPDCD4 group with AOH (siPDCD4+AOH), and siRNA negative control group with AOH (siRNA NC+AOH).
miR-93-5p agomir (chemically modified miRNA agonist), siPDCD4 (chemically modified small interfering RNA sequence inhibiting PDCD4 expression), agomir NC, and siRNA NC (random sequence) were synthesized by Sangon Biotech. miR-93-5p agomir, siPDCD4, agomir NC, and siRNA NC (0.5 nmol/μl) were injected into the vitreous cavity of the corresponding group of AOH rats 30 min before modeling. Intravitreal injection was performed according to previous literature reports (36 (link), 54 (link)). Briefly, intravitreal injection was performed between two vortex veins about 1 mm from the corneal limbus.

RNAi silencing of LvNHE in shrimp

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were designed using the siDirect version 2.0 online program (http://sidirect2.rnai.jp/). siRNA-1, siRNA-2, and siRNA-3 designed to target LvNHE mRNA and a nontargeting siRNA (NC-siRNA) used as a negative control (Table 1) were synthesized by Sangon Biotech Company and dissolved in DEPC-H2O. Shrimp about 1-month old with body lengths of 5.12±0.61 cm and body weights of 3.55±0.82 g were used for RNAi experiments. To confirm the interference efficiencies of the synthesized siRNAs, three siRNAs (siRNA-1, siRNA-2 and siRNA-3) were injected at the concentration of 1 μg/g body weight (bwt). In this case, DEPC-H2O and NC-siRNA were injected as the control groups. Shrimp were cultured at 28°C in the tanks containing aerated seawater (salinity 30‰, pH 8.0). Intestines from 3 individuals in each group were respectively collected 6 and 12 h after injection. The expression levels of LvNHE were measured by real-time PCR as described above.

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.
