RT-qPCR was used to verify the effect of CHRAC1 knockdown on YAP target genes in MDA-MB-231 and Hela cells. In this study, shNC was used as a control group and CHRAC1 shRNA (1# and 2#) was used as experimental group. Total RNA from cells was extracted according to the instructions of Vazyme RNA extraction Kit (Cat#: RC112-01; Vazyme, Beijing, China). RNA concentration and Purity were detected by Nanodrop spectrophotometer and 1µg RNA was applied to reverse transcription to synthesize complementary DNA (cDNA) using Reverse Transcription Kit (Cat#: RK20429, ABclonal) under the following conditions: 37 °C for 2 min, 55 °C for 15 min, 85 °C for 5 min. The reverse-transcribed cDNA was diluted 5-fold and RT-qPCR was conducted with the SYBR Green qPCR Mix reagent (Cat#: RK21203, ABclonal) on a Bio-Rad quantitative PCR instrument under the following conditions: 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 5 s, 60 °C for 30 s. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as reference gene. The method to calculate the relative expression was 2−ΔΔCt. All of the RT-qPCR reactions were performed in duplicates. RT-qPCR primers sequences are available in supplementary materials.

Total RNA was isolated from the purified splenic B cells using chloroform/isopropyl alcohol method. cDNA was synthetized using reverse transcription Kit (Abclonal, #RK20429) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Then real-time PCR was performed on qTower 3 (Germamy) with SYBR green (Abclonal, #RK21203) and the following probes: Gapdh, Gsdmd, Il1β, Il18, Caspase 1, Nlrp3, Pkm2, Hk1, Hk3, solute carrier family member 2 (Slc15a2), Midline 1 (Mid1) and Gsdma2. The primer sequences were listed in Table 1.

We collected 20 EC tissue and 11 normal endometrial tissue specimens. These specimens were obtained from surgical patients at Wuhan Union Hospital and were performed in strict accordance with the relevant regulations of medical ethics (Ethics Committee of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology), and informed consent was obtained from the participating patients.
To further verify the expression levels of m6A-related lncRNAs in the tissue samples, we extracted total RNA using TRIzol (RNAiso Plus, Takara, Japan) and cDNA was obtained using a reverse transcription kit (ABclonal, Wuhan, China). Expression of three m6A-related lncRNAs was calculated using 2-CT values, and GAPDH mRNA expression was used as a reference. The primer sequences used in this study were as follows: lncSCARNA9 forward 5ʹ-AGTCTTTCCAGTCTACCTGATGC-3ʹ and reverse 5ʹ-CATTGCCCAGAAATGATTAGGCT-3ʹ; lncTRAF3IP2 -AS1 forward 5ʹ-ACTGGTTGACAGAGCACCAAC-3ʹ, and reverse 5ʹ-AAATCCCATCCGTCCTTGCCT; lncAL133243.2 forward 5ʹ- AGTCCACCATTGCTCAACCGA-3ʹ; and reverse 5ʹ-ATCGGCCTTACATCTCCTGGC-3ʹ.

Relative Quantification of Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell Total RNA isolation kit (FOERGENE, Chengdu, China) was used to extract total RNA, and then reverse-transcribed into cDNA by Reverse transcription kit (ABclonal, Wuhan, China). Genious 2x SYBR Green Fast qPCR mix (ABclonal, Wuhan, China) was used to perform qPCR and detected by Bio-Rad CFX96 qPCR instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). In a previous study, we found that PFDN5 and TBP genes were the most stable reference genes for BAT to WAT transformation through RNA-seq [35 (link)]. Thus, TBP and PFDN5 genes were applied as reference genes. Primers used in this study were shown in Table S1. The relative expression levels of the target genes were normalized relative to the expression of PFDN5 and TBP using the 2−ΔΔCT method. Six biological replicates and three technical replicates in a biological sample were used for qPCR.

Quantification of mRNA Expression in Adipocytes

Total RNA was extracted from adipocytes and tissues by TRIzol (Invitrogen, CA, USA) and 1 µg RNA was amplified to cDNA with the Reverse Transcription kit (ABCLONAL, Wuhan, China). The qPCR was carried out with 5 μL of Genious 2X SYBR Green Fast qPCR Mix (ABCLONAL, Wuhan, China), 0.8 μL of cDNA, 0.4 μL of primers (Table S2), and 3.4 μL ddH2O by the Bio-Rad CFX96 instrument (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). Relative mRNA expression was determined by the method of ΔCt. Our previous study showed that PFDN5 is one of the most stable internal genes between BAT and WAT [47 (link)]. In this study, PFDN5 was used as an internal reference gene. To determine the subcellular localization of FGF11, nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA was extracted using the cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA purification kits (Norgen Biotek, Thorold, ON, Canada).

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.
