Total RNA was isolated from cells using TRIzol (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. RNA was reverse-transcribed using the RT2 First Strand Kit and MMLV-RT (Takara, Dalian, China). The cDNA was subjected to real-time PCR amplification using gene-specific primers and 2× Brilliant II SYBR Green QPCR Master Mix (Invitrogen, La Jolla, CA, USA) as described previously (Zhao et al. 2012 (link)). Primer sequences are listed in Table 1. Specific gene expression was calculated using the comparative 2−ΔΔCt method with GAPDH as the calibrator.

Total RNA was isolated from cells using TRIzol (Invitrogen, La Jolla, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Reverse transcription was used the RT2 First Strand Kit and MMLV-RT (Takara, Dalian, China). The cDNA was subjected to real-time PCR amplification using gene specific primers and 2× Brilliant II SYBR Green QPCR Master Mix (Invitrogen) as described previously (Zhao et al. 2012) .
Specific primer pairs for GPER: forward primer 5'-TCTCTAACCTCCGCAACCAC-3' and reverse primer 5'-CTGGGGGTGGAGACAAGCAT-3'. Primer pairs for Actin: forward primer D r a f t 10 5'-ACTATCGGCAATGAGCGGTTCC-3' and reverse primer 5'-AGCACTGTGTTGGCA TAGAGGTC -3'. Real-time PCR was carried out on an ABI 7500 thermocycler (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA). Specific gene expression was calculated using the comparative 2 -∆∆Cт method with Actin as the calibrator.

RGD-alg gels encapsulating 10 M/mL HH 37 TPCs were homogenized in TRIzol LS (Invitrogen) after 7 days of culture. Total RNA was extracted and quantified using spectrophotometry (Nanodrop ND-2000, Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE), and reverse-transcribed into cDNA using the Superscript III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen). QPCR was performed with Brilliant II SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and the MX3000p qPCR System (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Chick-specific primer pairs were designed for tendon marker (scleraxis, tenomodulin, Col I, III, and XII) and housekeeping (18S) genes (Table 2). The 2−ΔΔCT method was used to calculate relative changes in gene expression. The data are presented as the fold change in target gene expression normalized to the housekeeping gene (18S), relative to HH 37 TPCs cultured in RGD-alg gels with an elastic modulus of 3.4 kPa. QPCR was performed on HH 37 TPCs encapsulated in six RGD-alg gels for each elastic modulus condition.

Quantifying miRNA and mRNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen) in accordance with manufacturer’s protocol. Reverse transcription of total miRNA was performed by using a miScript reverse transcription kit (Qiagen). MiScript SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen) together with a pair of miR-214 specific primers was used for mature miRNA detection. RNU6B was used as an internal normalized reference.
For detection of UCP2 mRNA expression, total RNA was reversely transcribed by using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Real-time PCR was performed in triplicate in an ABI 7900HT real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems) with a 20 μl reaction mixture containing Brilliant II SYBR Green qPCR master mix and 300 nM UCP2 primers. Primer sequences for UCP2 were 5’-cgcatcggcctgtatgattc-3’ and 5’- cataggtcaccagctcagc-3’. Primer sequences for GAPDH were 5’-gagtcaacggatttggtcgt-3’ and 5’-ttgattttggagggatctcg-3’. The thermal cycling was initiated by polymerase activation step for 10 min at 95 °C followed by 40 cycles of denaturation (95 °C for 30 s) and annealing/extension (60 °C for 1 min). Relative expression of UCP2 was normalized to GAPDH as an internal control and determined by a previously described method [25 (link)].

Reverse-transcriptase reactions were performed with the ImProm-II Reverse Transcription System (Promega, Madison, USA) using 2 μg total RNA. qPCR was performed using Brilliant® II SYBR® Green QPCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher) and the Mx3000P QPCR System; MxPro qPCR software was used for the analysis (Stratagene, San Diego, CA USA). Primers sequences are shown in Table 1.
For quantification, target genes were normalized using Beta-actin (Actb) as housekeeping gene. The threshold cycles (Ct) were determined for each sample. The relative expression of mRNA was calculated using the 2 -ΔΔCt method (Livak and Schmittgen 2001) expressed relative to those from the PBS group.

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.
