Cells were treated with SAF-Hex and cultured to extract mRNA using the miRNeasy kit (Qiagen, Germany). The mRNA quantity was measured using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher). Briefly, 1 µg of total mRNA was reverse transcribed with the Transcriptor Universal cDNA Master kit (Sigma Aldrich, US). Real-time PCR reactions were performed using the FastStart SYBR Green Master kit (Sigma Aldrich), primers, and a 50 ng cDNA template. Primer sequences were a combination of previously established [13 (link), 14 (link)] and newly designed sequences (Table S2). qPCR was performed using a Light Cycler 96 instrument (Roche Diagnostics, Germany). The thermal cycling protocol comprised an initial denaturation step at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 45 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 15 s, annealing at specified temperatures for 15 s, and extension at 72 °C for 20 s. Gene expression levels were normalized using the 2−ΔΔCt method, with GAPDH as the reference gene.

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.
