For RNA extraction, brain, heart, liver, lung, spleen, kidney, intestine, skin, testis, thymus, and bone marrow were obtained from euthanized PL mice, submerged in the RNALater RNA stabilization reagent (Qiagen), and subjected to total RNA extraction using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen) with DNase, following the manufacturer's instruction. Extracted total RNA was applied for first-strand cDNA synthesis using the SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System SuperMix (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
Superscript 3 first strandsynthesis system supermix
The SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System SuperMix is a reagent kit designed for efficient and reliable first-strand cDNA synthesis. It contains all the necessary components for the reverse transcription of RNA into cDNA, which is a crucial step in various molecular biology applications.

Quantification of Adenosine Receptor Subtypes
A2A, A2B, and
A3), was assayed by quantitative PCR (qPCR) in IEC-6,
HCT-8, or in mouse cecum epithelial cells. Purified TcdA and TcdB were provided
by David Lyerly from TECHLAB, Inc. (USA). Each sample was suspended in 350 μL of
RLT lysis buffer and the RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (USA),
according to manufacturer's instructions. RNA was quantified by standard
spectrophotometry (Biophotometer, Eppendorf, Germany). In order to remove the
genomic DNA carried over from RNA extraction, DNase I (Ambion, USA) treatment
was performed following the manufacturer's instructions. Synthesis of cDNA by
reverse transcriptase PCR was performed using SuperScript III First-Strand
Synthesis System SuperMix (Invitrogen, USA) with the use of oligo (dT) as
primers. cDNA was used in quantitative PCR for measuring A1,
A2A, A2B, and A3
expression compared to GAPDH expression. The Invitrogen Fast SYBR green
cells-to-CT one-step kit was used according to the manufacturer's instructions,
as previously described (26 (link)). The
relative gene expression was determined using the 2−ΔΔCt (25 (link)) method using GAPDH as the housekeeping gene.
Quantification of IGF-1 and BCL-2 Expression
After freezing, the samples were stored at -80°C until analysis. Samples were thawed
and total RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN Biotecnologia Brasil
Ltda, Brazil) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA concentration was
quantified and checked spectrophotometrically (Biophotometer; Eppendorf, Germany) for
purity by UV absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm (A260:280 ratio). Synthesis of cDNA by
reverse transcriptase PCR was performed using the SuperScript III First-Strand
Synthesis System SuperMix (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Brazil) with the use of
oligo (dT) as primers. cDNA was used in qPCR for measuring IGF-1 and BCL-2 expression
compared with actin expression (used as the housekeeping gene). The
primers for murine IGF-1 and BCL-2 were purchased from Invitrogen and their
nucleotide sequences are shown in
Amplification consisted of 10 min at 95°C, followed by 40 cycles of 25 s at 95°C, 25
s at the respective annealing temperature for each pair of primers (60°C), and 20 s
at 72°C, followed by 40 cycles of 10 s starting at 75°C, with 0.5°C increments for
the melt curve. Fluorescence was measured during the annealing step of each cycle.
The relative gene expression was determined using the 2−ΔΔCt method.

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.
