SW480 cells were treated with S100A8 in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium/HamF12 supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin for cytokine induction. Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Plus (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Complementary DNA was synthesized using the PrimeScript 1st Strand Synthesis kit (Takara Bio, Japan). Quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis was performed using the PowerUpTM SYBRTM Green mixture (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and the StepOnePlus Real Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Gene expression levels were calculated from Ct values, and the relationship between the Ct value and the logarithm of the copy number of a target gene was confirmed to be on a linear line using the corresponding isolated DNA and its serial dilutions as a standard. Thus, the gene expression levels of IL-8 and VEGF were normalized against that of β-actin in each sample. The following primers were used; β-actin, 5′-GCACAGAGCCTCGCCTT-3′ and 5′-GTTGTCGACGACGAGCG-3′; IL-8, 5′-CAAGAGCCAGGAAGAAACCA-3′ and 5′-AGCACTCCTTGGCAAAACTG-3′; VEGF, 5′-GGGCAGAATCATCACGAAGT-3′ and 5′-GCACACAGGATGGCTTGAAG-3′.

Total RNA was extracted from different samples of two varieties by CTAB-ammonium acetate method of Zhao et al. (2012) (link). RNA integrity was analyzed by gel electrophoresis and Nanodrop-2000 UV-vis spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, U.S.A.). The OD 260/280 readings were obtained by spectrophotometry to assess the purity and concentration. Two microgram RNA was converted into cDNA using PrimeScript 1st strand synthesis kit (Takara Bio Inc., Japan) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The real-time PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) was carried out on Mastercycler Realplex (Eppendorf, Germany) following the thermocycler condition of 95°C for 2 min (initial denaturation), 40 cycles of amplification (95°C for 15 sec, annealing temperature for 20 sec and 72°C for 30 sec). The reaction was terminated and the melting curve was analyzed to confirm whether the amplicon product is of a single reaction. Actin4, a housekeeping gene, was used as an internal control for normalization purposes and the relative fold-change in expression was estimated using the 2-ΔΔCT method as described by Livak and Schmittgen (2001) (link).

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.
