The screening was performed on a selected cardiovascular disease-associated miRNA panel using an OpenArray Real-time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol for liquid samples. In particular, we used custom plates allowing the detection of 112 miRNAs (Table S2). Starting from 2 µL of total RNA, miRNA retrotranscription was conducted using TaqMan Advanced miRNA cDNA synthesis (Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. A mixture composed of 2.5 µL of each amplified cDNA and 2.5 µL of TaqMan OpenArray Real-Time PCR master mix (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) was dispensed on an OpenArray plate using the AccuFill automated sample loading system (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) and run using a QuantStudio 12k Flex Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Data analysis was conducted using cloud-based Thermo Fisher Scientific proprietary software (Thermo Fisher cloud, https://apps.thermofisher.com/apps/). Samples presenting a Ct value >35, an amplification score (Amp Score) <1.24 and a Ct confidence value <0.8 were excluded. The expression data for each sample are presented in Table S3. Normalization was conducted using the Global Mean Normalization method implemented by the software.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by density gradient (Lympholyte-H, Cedarlane, Canada). Total RNA was extracted from PBMCs using the Chomczynski and Sacchi’s modified method (Chomczynski and Sacchi, 2006 (link)). Two micrograms of total RNA were reverse-transcribed using the SuperScript VILOTM cDNA Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, United States). Quantitative PCRs were performed in the OpenArray® system QuantStudio 12K Flex Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, United States). For the VAMP2 gene expression analysis, qPCR reactions based on TaqMan probes Hs00360269_m1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were performed using high-performance OpenArray® chip. Three genes have been selected as endogenous according to their stable expression in human cells (GAPDH, ACTB and 18S) and included into the OpenArray® chip. One hundred and twenty ng of every cDNA sample (1.2 μL of each) were mixed with 1.3 μL of PCR-grade water and 2.5 μL of TaqMan™ OpenArray® Real-Time PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Massachusetts, United States). Samples were loaded in duplicate into Open-Array® plates. For gene expression analysis, Ct values were obtained using the Thermo Fisher ConnectTM (Thermofisher) online application, and the Relative Quantification (RQ) software.

The expressions of 18 genes (Table 3) were evaluated using real-time PCR. Three genes were used as endogenous controls to calculate the relative expressions of the other 15 candidate genes. The selection of reference and target genes was based on results observed in previous transcriptomics studies, where the administration of rbST and anabolic agents to cattle was evaluated [13 (link),14 (link),15 (link),16 (link),17 (link),31 (link)]. Gene-expression assays were carried out with a TaqMan® OpenArray® system (Applied BiosystemsTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific), involving a nanoliter high-throughput real-time PCR platform where 3072 reactions were performed simultaneously in the same OpenArray® plate, and the primers and TaqMan® probes were preloaded in the plates by the company. A plate design of 18 assays in triplicate, and 56 samples was chosen. Real-time PCR reactions were performed according to the TaqMan® OpenArray® protocol. Briefly, in a 384-well plate, 1.2 µL of each cDNA sample was mixed with 3.8 µL of TaqMan® OpenArray® Real-Time PCR Master Mix (Applied BiosystemsTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The PCR reaction mixtures were loaded automatically into the OpenArray® plates using an OpenArray® AccuFill™ System (Applied BiosystemsTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The following real-time PCR protocol was used: 40 cycles at 95 °C for 15 s, and 60 °C for 1 min.

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.
