We evaluated the effect of exposure to full-spectrum LEDs and commercial cold-white LEDs on the expression of S-opsin, GRP78/Bip, ATF4, and CHOP mRNA in the retinas of albino guinea pigs. Individual intact retinas were isolated and homogenized using a rotor–stator homogenizer. The RNA in retinal tissues was extracted by TRIzol reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). The expression of the target gene was detected by the 7500 Real-Time qPCR System (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA) with the Hieff qPCR SYBR Green Master Mix Kit (Yeasen Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). Conditions for the real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were as follows: 5 minutes at 95°C and then 10 seconds at 95°C, followed by two-step qPCR for 40 cycles consisting of 95°C for 15 seconds followed by 60°C for 35 seconds. The results are expressed relative to the β-actin internal control. The PCR primer sequences used are shown in the Table.

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.
