Cells resuspended in QIAzol using a miRNeasy Kit and processed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (QIAGEN) or in RA1 lysis buffer using the RNA NucleoSpin extraction kit (Macherey&Nagel). RNA was quantified using a NanoDrop 1000 (Thermo Scientific) and 500–2,000 ng was reverse transcribed with a High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Life Technologies). qPCRs were performed using Fast SYBR Green Master Mix (Life Technologies) and run on a Roche LightCycler-480-384. Data processing with qbase+ 2.6 software (Biogazelle) relies on normalization with a minimum of 2 reference genes. RT-qPCR primer sequences are the following: for PRRX1, forward 5’-CAGGACAATGACCAGCTGAACTC-3’ and reverse 5’-TGTGTCCGCTCAAAGACACG-3’; for ACTB, forward 5’- CTGGAACGGTGAAGGTGACA-3’ and reverse 5’-AAGGGACTTCCTGTAACAATGCA-3’; for RPL13A, forward 5’-CCTGGAGGAGAAGAGGAAAGAGA-3’ and reverse 5’-TTGAGGACCTCTGTGTATTTGTCAA-3’; for SDHA, 5’- TGGGAACAAGAGGGCATCTG-3’ and reverse 5’- CCACCACTGCATCAAATTCATG-3’.

Small RNA was isolated from 30 mg gWAT and 5 mg liver using the PureLink miRNA Kit (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. miR-31 (000185, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Germany), miR-31* (002495, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and snoRNA202 (001232, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were reverse transcribed individually using 30 ng for gWAT and 150 ng miRNA for liver with the TaqMan miRNA Reverse Transcription Kit according to vendor's instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All qPCRs were performed with the Roche LightCycler® 480/384 (Roche, Switzerland). Relative expression of miRNA levels was evaluated using snoRNA202 as endogenous control.

Quantitative RT-PCR Analysis of Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from cells or grated tissue in TRIzol (Takara), reverse transcribed with random hexamers (Sangon) and M‐MLV transcriptase (Takara). qRT–PCR was performed to detect the mRNA levels of the indicated genes on a CFX‐96 real‐time PCR system (Bio‐Rad) or LightCycler‐480‐384 (Roche) with SYBR Green Master Mix (Yeasen). qRT–PCR primer sequences are listed in Table EV2. β‐Actin in human and mouse samples, or GAPDH in zebrafish samples were used to normalize gene expression. The “relative” mRNA levels were calculated using the 2−ΔCt method with the normalized gene. The “fold” changes were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method with the normalized gene and compared to the control groups including PBS, mock, WT mock, DMSO mock, siNC, Vector, PBS mock, WT siNC mock.

RNA Extraction and qRT-PCR Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted using E.Z.N.A.Total RNA Kit I (Omega Bio-Tech, Norcross, GA, USA) and RNA concentrations were measured using the NanoDrop Spectrophotometer ND-1000 (ThermoFisher Scientific). Only samples with 260/280 ratios > 2 were included in further analysis. To remove DNA contaminants, 1 μg of the purified RNA was treated with ezDNAse enzyme (Thermo Fisher) before being reverse transcribed into cDNA using the SuperScript IV VILO MasterMix (ThermoFisher Scientific). cDNA was diluted 1:10 and amplified by real-time PCR using the PowerUp SYBR Green Master Mix (ThermoFisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA) in a LightCycler 480, 384-well plate (Roche) consisting of 2× SYBR, 10 ng cDNA, 1 μM forward and reverse primers in nuclease free H2O (Table 1). All reactions were run in duplicate, including minus RT and no-template controls under the following thermal cycling conditions: 50 °C, 2 min; 95 °C, 2 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s and 60 °C for 1 min. Melt curve analysis was performed to confirm amplification specificity. Ct values were normalized to the housekeeping genes PPIH, B2M or TBP using the second derivative maximum 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.
