Quantification of SUPT3H and RUNX2 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gene expression was quantified using TaqMan chemistry. Pre-designed TaqMan assays (Integrated DNA Technologies) were used to measure the expression of the target genes SUPT3H (Hs.PT.58.3510503) and RUNX2. For RUNX2, two assays were used: one targeting exons 6–7, measuring both the isoforms of the gene (Hs.PT.56a.19568141, termed RUNX2 ALL) and one targeting exons 1–2, therefore only detecting the P1 isoform (Hs.PT.56a.23056352.g). It was not possible to measure the expression of the P2 isoform alone due to the sequence identity between the short isoform and exons 3–8. Expression was assessed relative to the expression of three housekeeping genes: 18S, GAPDH and HPRT1 using the 2-Δct method as previously described (9 (link)).

Quantifying Gene Expression in Tao Drosophila

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Crosses to obtain Tao16 males and Tao16/w1118 females were conducted as described above. Each genotype was dissected in Schneider’s media supplemented with 10% FBS, to obtain 20–50 third instar CNSs. These were homogenized in a 1 mL dounce homogenizer using the RLT-plus buffer from a RNeasy plus kit (Qiagen). Further purification of total RNA followed the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was synthesized using the iScript kit (Bio-Rad) and used between 115–250 ng total RNA (varied by experimental repeat but was matched between samples). qRT-PCR was performed using custom-designed Taqman assays (Integrated DNA Technologies) in which the forward primer sequence spans an exon-exon junction. These were utilized in a StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR system (Applied Scientific/Thermo Scientific). Rps17 was used as the reference gene for the delta delta Ct comparison protocol to quantify relative changes in gene expression, all in technical triplicate. No-reverse transcriptase controls were conducted to confirm the purity of each cDNA sample, and lack of gDNA contamination in the qRT-PCR. Four independent biological repeats were performed.

For mRNA expression analysis, total RNA was extracted from cells using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, #74136). Real time PCR was then performed using iTaq Universal Probes One-Step Kit (Biorad, #172-5140) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Expression was normalized to human 18S. The following predesigned labeled primers and probe sets (Taqman assays) from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) were used: h18S #HS.PT.39a.22214856 g, hMYC #Hs.PT.58.26770695, hAPEX1 #Hs.PT.56a.3182919, hCDC25A #Hs.PT.58.800341, hCAD #Hs.PT.56a.39091521.

Quantitative Transcriptome Analysis by RT-qPCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated using TRI Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, T9424) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA concentration for each sample was determined with NanoDrop™ 2000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific) by measuring absorbance at 260 nm. RNA (2 µg) was reverse transcribed using Superscript II (Invitrogen, 18064014). For standard RT-PCR (Supplementary Table 2), products were separated on 1% agarose gels and visualized with DDGIT gel scanner (Li-Core). RT-qPCR reactions were performed using Takyon ROX Master Mix (Eurogentec UFRP5XC0501) and the StepOne Plus platform (Applied Biosystems). Target transcript levels (Supplementary Table 3) were normalized to MRPL19 and relative abundance was determined using the ΔΔCt method. Transcript-specific TaqMan assays were purchased from Integrated DNA Technologies.

Total RNA was isolated from 1 × 106 to 2 × 106 AT2 cells using the Quick-RNA miniprep kit (Zymo Research, R1054), and cDNA was synthesized using iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad, 1708891). qPCR was performed with 20 ng of cDNA per reaction on QuantStudio 3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with Taqman assays (Integrated DNA Technologies) for mouse Sftpc (IDT Mm.PT.58.9922071, exons 1–2), and Bax (IDT Mm.PT.58.14012210, exons 3–4). Multiple housekeeping genes were used to identify stable expression across developmental ages (P4 and P21), and data were normalized to mouse Ppia (IDT Mm.PT.39a.2.gs).

qPCR Quantification of RUNX2 Isoforms

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNA synthesis and quantitative PCR (qPCR) were performed as described previously [11 (link)]. Predesigned TaqMan assays (Integrated DNA Technologies) or assays designed using the Roche probe library system were used to quantify expression of the housekeeping genes HPRT1, 18S and GAPDH and 12 target genes. The relative gene expression was calculated by the 2−ΔCt method, where ΔCt is the mean Ct value of the three housekeeping genes subtracted from the Ct value of the target gene of interest. For target gene RUNX2, two qPCR assays were used: one targeting exons 6–7, measuring both the main isoforms of the gene (termed RUNX2all), and one targeting exons 1–2, which measures the longer isoform of the gene (termed RUNX2long) [12 (link)].

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.
