Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen), and reverse transcription was performed using the Advantage RT-for-PCR Kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For the real-time PCR analyses, aliquots of double-stranded cDNA were amplified using a SYBR Green PCR Kit (QIAGEN). The cycling parameters were as follows: 95 °C for 15 s, 55–60 °C for 15 s, and 72 °C for 15 s for 45 cycles. A melting curve analyses was then performed. The Ct was measured during the exponential amplification phase, and the amplification plots were analyzed using SDS 1.9.1 software (Applied Biosystems). For the cell lines, the relative expression levels (defined as the fold change) of the target genes were determined by the following equation: 2−ΔΔCt (ΔCt= ΔCttarget −ΔCtGAPDH; ΔΔCt = ΔCtexpressing vector −ΔCtcontrol vector). The expression level was normalized to the fold change that was detected in the corresponding control cells, which was defined as 1.0. For the clinical tissue samples, the fold change of the target gene was determined by the following equation: 2−ΔΔCt (ΔΔCt= ΔCttumor −ΔCtnontumor). This value was normalized to the average fold change in the normal colon epithelial tissues, which was defined as 1.0. All reactions were performed in duplicate. The primer sequences are listed in Table S6.

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.
