To explore the differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs in LUAD, the levels of six candidate miRNAs were examined using a relative quantification method. The extracted miRNA was reverse-transcribed with adding a poly (A) tail using the Mir-X miRNA First-Strand Synthesis Kit (TaKaRa Bio, Japan). The reaction mixture was incubated at 37°C for 60 min, and then 85°C for 5 min. qRT-PCR was performed using TB-Green Premix Ex Taq II Reagent (TaKaRa Bio, Japan). The mRQ 3′ Primer (TaKaRa Bio, Japan) was used as the reverse primer for each miRNA, and the sequences of miRNA-specific primers are provided in Table S1. The conditions of the amplification reaction were as follows: 95°C for 10 s, 40 cycles of 95°C for 5 s, and 60°C for 32 s. Each sample was analyzed in duplicate. Relative miRNA expression levels were calculated using the ΔCT method with U6 snRNA as a reference (CtmiRNA - CtU6).

cDNA was synthesised from total RNA (500 ng) in a 10-μl reaction volume using a PrimeScript RT-PCR Kit (TaKaRa, USA). Thermal cycling conditions included an initial step at 98 °C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles at 95 °C for 5 s and 60 °C for 20 s. The following primers were used: MMP-2 forward, 5′-GATAACCTGGATGCCGTCGTG-3′; MMP-2 reverse, 5′-CAGCCTAGCCAGTCGGATTTG-3′; TIMP-2 forward, 5′-TACCAGATGGGCTGCGAGTG-3′; TIMP-2 reverse, 5′-CTGTGACCCAGTCCATCCAGAG-3′; and GAPDH forward, 5′-CCATCACCATCTTCCAGGAG-3′; GAPDH reverse, 5′-CCTGCTTCACCACCTTCTTG-3′.
The relative expression levels of mRNA were analysed using the 2−ΔΔCt method. For miRNA analysis, cDNA was synthesised using a miR-X miRNA first-strand synthesis kit (TaKaRa, Japan). Thermal cycling conditions included an initial step at 98 °C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles at 95 °C for 2 s and 63 °C for 5 s. The following primers were used: miR-130b primer, 5′-CAGTGCAATGATGAAAGGGCAT-3′; mRQ 3′ primer (TaKaRa); and U6 snRNA-specific primer (TaKaRa) as an internal control.

The Mir-X miRNA First-Strand Synthesis kit (Clontech) was applied on total RNA (25 ng) or synthetic RNA (to obtain the miRNA standard curves as described for the miRCURY and miRPrimer strategies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, in a final volume of 10 µL in the presence of mRQ enzyme. The reaction took place at 37 °C for 1 h. cDNA samples were diluted (40×) and 10 µL of PCR reaction including specific miRNA forward primer (the entire sequence of the miRNA isoform which included 4A) added to the 3′-end as previously described [14 (link)]; Table 1, the mRQ 3′ primer (Clontech) as reverse primer and 4.6 µL of diluted cDNA. Cycling conditions were identical to the ones used for miRPrimer2 strategy on the LightCycler® 96 Instrument (Roche; Switzerland).

The real-time qPCR validation of miRNA expression was performed using
Mir-X miRNA first-strand synthesis and quantification kit (Clontech), according
to the manufacturer's instructions. The real-time qPCR quantification of
specific miRNA sequences was performed on a 60-fold dilution of the cDNA samples
using the SYBR Advantage qPCR premix and mRQ 3’ Primer (Clontech). The
PCR reaction was carried out on a Stratagene Mx3005P instrument using the
conditions of 1-cycle denaturation at 95°C, 10 sec; 40-cycle
amplification at 95°C, 5 sec and 60°C, 20 sec; and dissociation
at 95°C, 60 sec; 55°C, 30 sec; 95°C, 30 sec. All
reactions were performed in triplicate and included with no template control for
each gene. U6 snRNA was included in each sample as an endogenous control to
determine the Ct for determination of the relative level using delta-delta
Ct (ddCt) calculation method [23 (link)], ΔCt=Ct

Cartilage and cell-seeded scaffolds were ground in liquid nitrogen prior to RNA isolation. Total RNA from cells, cartilage samples, and cell-seeded scaffolds was extracted using a miRNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) following the manufacturer's instructions.
Next, cDNA was synthesized from miRNA and mRNA using a Mir-X™ miRNA First-Strand Synthesis Kit (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., Mountain View, CA, USA) and a PrimeScript™ RT Master Mix (Takara, Shiga, Japan), respectively. qRT-PCR of target genes was performed using SYBR® Premix Ex Taq™ II (Takara) and a CFX96 real-time qPCR instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transcript levels were normalized to that of the reference gene glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) for mRNA, the small U6 RNA for miRNA, or miR-39 for exosomal miRNA. The specific primers used for these analyses are shown in Supplementary Material. The mRQ 3′ Primer (Clontech) was used as the reverse primer for miRNA-193b-3p, and the miR-39 primer was supplied in the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit. Gene expression was calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method, and each experiment was performed in triplicate.

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.
