Additional samples were collected for validation and RNA was isolated as mentioned above using the miRNeasy kit (Qiagen). RNA (1 ng) was reverse transcribed to cDNA (TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit, Applied Biosystems, Australia) according to the manufacturer’s protocol with a primer pool containing all miRNA assays (TaqMan microRNA assays, 5×, Applied Biosystems). Sixteen assays, which included 12 targets and 2 additional assays (hsa-miR-144–3p, hsa-miR–19b–3p, see Supplementary Table 6 for assay IDs), were pooled in order to serve as possible normalization controls. The cDNA samples were pre-amplified (TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix Kit, Applied Biosystems) and qRT–PCR (TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix, Applied Biosystems) was performed using individual miRNA assays (TaqMan microRNA assays, 20×, Applied Biosystems) and run on the ViiA 7 Real-Time PCR System (Life Technologies). Reverse transcription and pre-amplification no template controls using primer pools and individual assays were also prepared to ensure there was no background amplification of miRNA assays. Raw Ct data was uploaded to DataAssist (Applied Biosystems) to calculate delta delta Ct (ΔΔCt) using appropriate normalization methods68 (link) calculated by DataAssist by Applied Biosystems.

The miRNA expression profiles were determined with a TaqMan Array Human microRNA Card A (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Ninety nanograms of total RNA was used as an input in each RT reaction. The RT reaction and pre-amplification step was set up according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. miRNAs were reverse transcribed with the Megaplex Primer Pools (Human Pools A version 2.1; Thermo Fisher Scientific). RT reaction products from the PBMC samples were further amplified with Megaplex PreAmp primers (Primers A version 2.1; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Quantitative RT-PCR was performed on an Applied Biosystems 7900HT thermocycler according to the manufacturer’s recommended program. With the use of SDS 2.4 software and DataAssist (Thermo Fisher Scientific), the expression of miRNA was calculated based on cycle threshold (Ct) values normalized by those of RNU6B. Data analysis was done using GeneSifter® software (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA). P-values of less than 0.05 were considered to indicate a statistically significant difference, and the Benjamini–Hochberg algorithm was used for estimation of false discovery rates, as we have reported previously.19 (link)

Total RNA was isolated from HEK293T cells, MEFs, and cultured keratinocytes from patient 1 and different control subjects by using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA samples were reverse transcribed into cDNA by using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Applied Biosystems). Real-time PCR was carried out with the Fast SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) on an ABI Prism 7000 (PE Applied Biosystems). Quantitative RT-PCR primers were designed by using the sequences available in Ensembl and spanned an intron-exon boundary.
Amounts of the various mRNAs were normalized against the amount of ACTB RNA in each sample (measured by using quantitative RT-PCR). Results were analyzed with DataAssist (version 3.01; Applied Biosystems), which uses the comparative cycle threshold (ddCt) method. All experiments were performed in triplicates.
All data are expressed as the means ±SDs. Values were calculated by using an unpaired t test as follows.

Total RNA was extracted, reverse transcribed, and used for real-time qPCR experiments as described by Nonis et al. (2012) (link). Selective primers were constructed on divergent putative 3’-untranslated regions (UTRs) determined by sequence alignments and poly(A)-tail prediction (HCpolyA; Milanesi et al., 1996 (link)). Primers (Supplementary Table S1, available at JXB online) were designed with Primer3 (Rozen and Skaletsky 2000 (link)) and tested with PRaTo (Nonis et al., 2011 (link)). Data were elaborated with DataAssist (Applied Biosystems, Monza, Italy) and normalized to Md_8283:1:a (Botton et al., 2011 (link)) using the Livak and Schmittgen (2001) (link) method. General good-practice guidelines for RT-qPCR (Udvardi et al., 2008 (link); Remans et al., 2014 (link)) were adopted and primers efficiencies (Supplementary Table S1) were calculated and considered for differentially expressed genes as described by Nonis et al. (2012) (link). The choice of RT-qPCR for gene expression analyses was based on suggestions reported by Nonis et al. (2014) (link). All analyses were carried out on three independent biological replicates for each time point and experimental condition.

Repeated Measures ANOVA in Alcohol Consumption

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were used to analyze the consumption along the drinking sessions for animals that completed all sessions (i.e., Familiar II group). One way ANOVAs were performed to compare consumption of the different groups. Expression data analyses were performed using DataAssist software (Applied Biosystems, version 3.01). Relative Quantification (RQ) values (relative levels of RNA expression) were calculated using the comparative Ct method with endogenous controls to normalize the data. Extreme values ranging more than two standard deviations were removed from the sample as that might create artificial baseline levels of gene expression. Before analysis, the data were tested for distribution and found to be normally distributed. Repeated measures analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were used to compare each gene expression in each brain zone. Post hoc Fisher LSD test comparisons between the groups were used. Differences were considered as statistically significant at p < 0.05.
