RNA was extracted and purified using RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen) and quantified by Nanodrop prior to reverse transcription with iScript cDNA synthesis kit (Bio-Rad). qPCR was performed on an Applied BioSciences Quant Studio 6 Flex Real-time PCR (Applied Biosystems) using PerfeCTa SYBR Green Fast mix, Low ROX (Quanta Biosciences). The thermocycler program was as follows: initial cycle of 95°C for 60 s, followed by 40 PCR cycles at 95°C for 5 s, 60°C for 15 s, 72°C for 15 s. Relative levels of the target genes were determined by calculating the ΔCt to housekeeping gene hprt expression. Primer sequences can be found in Table S3.20 (link),69 (link)–72 (link)

Gene expression analysis was performed as previously described (Reddy et al., 2020 (link)). Total RNA from cells was isolated using TRIzol (Ambion #15596018) with Qiagen RNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN #12183025). RNA content was quantified using a Nanodrop 2000 UV-visible spectrophotometer. cDNA synthesis was performed via reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using 100 ng of RNA for ATP1A2 experiments (500–1000 ng of RNA for LETMD1 experiments) and a high-capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (ThermoFisher Scientific #4368813). cDNA was then used for real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis, which was performed in 384-well plate using GoTaq qPCR Master Mix (Promega #A6001). QuantStudio 6 Flex Real-Time PCR instrument (Applied Bio-systems) was used to run samples. Relative abundance of ATP1A2 was calculated by the delta-delta Ct methods using cyclophilin for ATP1A2 experiments (RPLP0 for LETMD1 experiments) as endogenous control.

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.
