The transcriptome and RT-qPCR analysis methods referred to Reference [20 (link)]. The zebrafish larvae (3 dpf) were transplanted into a six-well plate containing 940 μL E3 medium (30 larvae per well). The 30 hatched larvae in each group were treated with different doses of β-sitosterol (0, 5, 20, 50, 70, or 100 μg/mL) for 1 h and then exposed to 10 μM CuSO4 (a concentration that induces oxidative stress and inflammation [11 (link)]) for 24 h. The larvae were collected after 24 h and stored at −80 °C for RNA extraction. Total RNA was extracted from the larvae using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) [22 (link)]. The concentration (A260) and purity (A260/A280 and A260/A230) of the RNAs were measured using a NanoDrop 1000 instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The RNA integrity was confirmed by electrophoresis in a 1.5% agarose denaturing gel and reverse-transcribed into cDNA using a cDNA reverse transcription kit (Trans Gen Biotech, Wuhan, China). The cycling conditions for RT-qPCR were 95 °C for 10 min followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s and 60 °C for 30 s. The results were obtained using the 2−ΔΔct method [23 (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.
