Total RNA was isolated using miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and DNA was eliminated (Rnase-Free Dnase Set Qiagen). Reverse transcription was performed using the Omniscript RT Kit (Qiagen), TBP gene was used as reference gene for normalization using 50ng of total RNA and specific primers (EZH2: 5′-CCTGTCGACATGTTTTGGTC-3′; TBP: 5′-GTGTTTAAAATCTACATA-3′). PCR was performed in a 7500 Fast Real Time PCR System using Go Taq PCR master mix (Promega) and 1 μl of cDNA as a template. Melting curves were performed to verify specificity and absence of primer dimers. Reaction efficiency was calculated for each primer combination. The sequences of the specific oligonucleotides used have been reported elsewhere [7 (link), 8 (link)]. To measure quantitatively the expression of miRNAs, RNA was extracted using the same method as for the genes. Reverse transcription was carried out from 10 ng total RNA along with miR-specific primer using the TaqMan® MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems). PCR assays were performed using TaqMan® Gene Expression Master Mix and 7500 Fast Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) as reported [38 (link)]. For normalization, we used RNU6B.

Mouse tissues were harvested at indicated time points following Salmonella infection and stored in RNAlater (Qiagen) at −20 °C until further processing. Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy kit (Qiagen) and cDNA was synthesized from 2.5 μg total RNA using oligo dT primer and Superscript III (Invitrogen). qPCR was performed using GoTaq qPCR Master Mix (Promega), according to the manufacturer’s instructions on an ABI 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System. Forward primer sequence 5’-tctgtgatagacaaccatctgcctc-3’ was designed to span the junction of exons 4 and 5. Reverse primer sequence 5’-acaccgacccggatgagatt-3’ was specific to exon 6.
Gapdh was used as a reference gene using Gapdh QuantiTect Primer mix (Qiagen, cat QT01658692). Primer amplification efficiencies (E=1.9 for both TARM1 and Gapdh) were calculated from the slope of a standard curve prepared with a 2-fold serial dilution of splenic cDNA. TARM1 gene expression levels were calculated as fold change over the levels detected in control animals using Fold change=2−ΔΔCT method (37 (link)). Primer specificity was verified by melt curve analysis and amplicon sequencing.

Telomere length in PBMCs was measured using the methods described previously (Cawthon, 2009), with some modifications. We used 36B4 for reference as a single copy gene. The primer sequences (5′–3′) were: telomere forward: GGT TTT TGA GGG TGA GGG TGA GGG TGA GGG TGA GGG T; telomere reverse: TCC CGA CTA TCC CTA TCC CTA TCC CTA TCC CTA TCC CTA; 36B4 forward/reverse CAG CAA GTG GGA AGG TGT AAT CC; 36B4 forward/reverse CCC ATT CTA TCA TCA ACG GGT ACA A. The 36B4 reaction included 7.5 μL of SyBr Green PCR MasterMix (Promega, UK), 0.45 μL of primer forward, 0.75 μL of primer reverse and 3.3 μL of miliQ water. For telomere reaction: 7.5 μL of SyBr Green PCR MasterMix (Promega), 0.45 μL of primer forward, 0.45 μL of primer reverse and 3 μL of miliQ water.
The real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was run with 7500 Fast Real Time PCR System (Promega, CA, USA) at 50°C for 2 minutes, then 40 cycles of 95°C for 2 minutes, 55°C for 15 seconds and 60°C for 1 minute.

Quantifying mRNA and miRNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated using miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions and DNA was eliminated (Rnase-Free Dnase Set Qiagen). Reverse transcription was performed for 10 ng total RNA using the Omniscript RT Kit (Qiagen) and specific primers for each gene. The sequences of the oligonucleotides used are listed in Supplementary Table 6. PCR was performed in a 7500 Fast Real Time PCR System using Go Taq PCR master mix (Promega) and 1 μl of cDNA template. Melting curves were performed to verify specificity and absence of primer dimers. Reaction efficiency was calculated for each primer combination, and TBP gene was used as reference gene for normalization [65 (link)]. To measure miRNA expression quantitatively, RNA was extracted using the same method as for the genes. Reverse transcription was carried out from 10 ng total RNA along with miR-specific primer using the TaqMan® MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems). PCR assays were performed using TaqMan® Gene Expression Master Mix and 7500 Fast Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). For normalization, we used RNU6B. Discrimination between samples showing increased or decreased tumor/normal relative expression was calculated using the median.

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.
