Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from H9C2 cardiomyocytes using an RNA isolation kit (Total RNA Extraction Reagent; Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd.). Total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using a reverse transcriptase (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd.). Subsequently, qPCR was performed using the CFX384 Real-Time System C1000 Thermocycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.) and SYBR-Green ROX-mix (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd.). The following primers were used for qPCR: Dancr forward, 5′-CTCGGATAGAAGCGCAGGTT-3′ and reverse, 5′-AGGCAAGCGGGGTCATTAAA-3′; miR-6324 forward, 5′-ATAGCTGGGGTCAAGGTGCT-3′ and reverse, 5′-CTTGCTGTCTGGCCTACTGA-3′; GAPDH forward, 5′-TTGTGCAGTGCCAGCCTC-3′ and reverse, 5′-GGTAACCAGGCGTCCGATAC-3′; and U6 forward, 5′-CTCGCTTCGGCAGCACA-3′ and reverse, 5′-AACGCTTCACGAATTTGCGT-3′. The following thermocycling conditions were used for qPCR: Initial denaturation at 95°C for 30 sec then 40 cycles of 95°C for 5 sec and 60°C for 15 sec, followed by default of melt curve. miRNA and mRNA expression levels were quantified using the 2−∆∆Cq method (37 (link)) and normalized to the internal reference genes U6 and GAPDH, respectively.

Mitochondrial DNA Quantification in Cardiomyocytes and Serum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total DNA was isolated from 200 µL medium from normal- or tachypaced HL-1 cardiomyocytes or 50 µL control patient/AF patient serum in 150 µL phosphate buffered saline (PBS) utilizing the Nucleospin Tissue kit (Macherey-Nagel, Landsmeer, The Netherlands) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated DNA was used to determine DNA levels (a.u.) utilizing the CFX384 Real-time system C1000 Thermocycler (Bio-Rad, Lunteren, The Netherlands) in combination with SYBR green Supermix (Bio-Rad). Briefly, DNA, SYBR green Supermix and 10 µM forward and reverse primer-mix (Invitrogen, The Netherlands, Table 1) were added in a 384-well PCR plate (Bio-Rad) in triplicate per sample. Thermal cycling conditions were performed as a two-step approach using a pre-denaturating step at 50 °C for 2 min and 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s and 60 °C for 1 min with data collection, ending with a melting curve analysis continuously from 60 °C to 95 °C. Mitochondrial DNA levels were adjusted for nuclear DNA levels (18S rRNA) [25 (link)] and analyzed using the ΔCT method.

Total RNA was isolated from HL-1 cardiomyocytes utilizing the Nucleospin RNA isolation kit (Macherey-Nagel, Landsmeer, The Netherlands). First strand cDNA was generated using the iScript cDNA sysnthesis kit (Bio-Rad) and subsequently used as a template for quantitative real-time PCR. Relative changes in transcription level of the mitochondrial stress markers HSP60 and HSP10 were determined using the CFX384 Real-time system C1000 Thermocycler (Bio-Rad) in combination with SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad). mRNA levels were expressed in relative units on the basis of a standard curve and adjusted for GAPDH levels. Primer pairs utilized are the following: HSP60 fw: TGACTTTGCAACAGTCACCC and rv: GCTGTAGCTGTTACAATGGGG, HSP10 fw: CTCCAACTTTCACACT-GACAGG and rv: GCCGAAACTGTAACCAAAGG and GAPDH fw: CATCAAGAAGGTGGTGAAGC and rv: ACCACCCTGTTGCTGTAG.
