At baseline and week 18, blood samples (5 ml) were collected of all students who participated in the study, transferred to EDTA tubes and stored at −80°C. Total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was subsequently isolated using the GeneAll RNA extraction kit (GeneAll, South Korea), cDNA synthesis was performed using the GeneAll cDNA synthesis kit (GeneAll, South Korea), and mRNA expression levels were determined using the Opticon real-time PCR detection system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, California). Reactions were carried out in duplicate using SYBR Green Gene Expression Master Mix (Cat. no. 638317; Takara, Japan). The HPRT gene was used as the reference gene for normalization, chosen because of its stable expression in blood cells. Quantification of transcripts of interest relative to the internal housekeeping control gene HPRT was performed using the 2−ΔΔCt method and expressed as fold change. Changing FTO and IRX3 expression was evaluated using the REST (Relative Expression Software Tool) software. Data on changes of gene expression were transferred to SPSS software in order to analyse their relationships with dietary intake and FTO genotype.

Each reaction contained 3 µL molecular grade water, 2 µL primers with a nal concentration of 0.5 µM, and 10 µL SYBR Green master mix (Takara Bio, Inc., Otsu, Japan). The ABI StepOne-Plus LightCycler 96 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, USA) was used. The cycling parameters included one denaturing cycle at 94 o C/15 minutes, followed by 40 three-step cycles of ampli cation (95 o C/30 seconds, 59 o C/30 seconds, and 72 o C/30 seconds). A melting curve was also drawn on the rst run for each sample. The melting curve analysis was performed using a temperature range of 65 o C to 90 o C with a three-second interval. P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 was used as the negative control. All tests were done in triplicate.

The expression of adipocyte-specific genes such as PPAR-γ2 and C/EBP-α, and osteocyte-specific genes such as RUNX2 and osteocalcin was assessed by the real-time PCR assay. To this end, the total RNAs of differentiated cells were extracted using the Kiazol reagent (Kiazist Life Sciences, Iran) based on the manufacturer’s instructions. The quantity and quality of isolated RNAs were confirmed by the NanoDrop One UV–Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). In the next step, the cDNAs were synthesized using the cDNA synthesis kit (GeneAll, South Korea) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The forward and reverse primer sequences listed in Table 1 were employed for the real-time amplification of selected genes by the LightCycler® 96 System (Roche, Germany). The 2−△△Ct method was applied to calculate the relative gene expressions (fold changes), and the expression of RNA Polymerase II (a reference gene) was used to normalize the data.

We used a published methodology from our group (Ghafouri-Fard et al., 2021 (link)). Total RNA was extracted from whole blood using Hybrid-RTM Blood RNA purification kit (GeneALL, Seoul, South Korea) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Assessment of the extracted RNA in terms of quantity and quality was performed by NanoDrop (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, United States). The synthesis of cDNA was done by the cDNA synthesis Kit (GeneALL) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The obtained cDNA was stored at −20°C for further investigation. The designing of specific probes and primers for ERMN, LTN1, and HPRT1 was carried out applying Allele ID 7 software (Premier Biosoft, Palo Alto, CA, United States). HPRT1 was chosen because it has been introduced as one of the most stable housekeeping genes in autism studies (Anitha et al., 2012 (link); Nardone et al., 2014 (link); Zhou et al., 2016 (link)). PCR program comprised an initial activation phase for 5 min at 94°C, and 40 cycles at 94°C for 10 s and 60°C for 40 s. Total reaction volumes were 20 μL containing 4 μl of cDNA, 3.5 μl double distilled water, 10 μl of Master Mix 2×, 250 and 900 nM concentrations of probe and each primer, respectively. Table 1 summarizes probes and primers sequences. The qPCR was carried out by the Step OnePlusTM Real-Time PCR and the RealQ Plus2x Master Mix (Ampliqon, Odense, Denmark).

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.
