In the stage 2 (Validation study), the expression of the selected miRNAs (hsa-miR-155-5p, MIMAT0000646; hsa-miR-181a, MIMAT0000256; and hsa-let-7a-5p, MIMAT 0000062) was measured by stem loop TaqMan RT-qPCR (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Specific stem loop primers were used to synthetize the cDNA from 10 ng total RNA using the micro-RNA transcription kit (Life Technologies, CA, USA). RT-qPCR assays were carried out using predesigned assays (miR-155, ID: 002623; miR-181a, ID: 00048; and let-7a, ID: 000377) (Life Technologies CA, USA). RNU24 was selected as the most stable endogenous reference among 4 small nucleolar RNAs (RNU24, RNU6B, RNU58, RNU44), which were evaluated by using the GeNorm software [19 (link)]. All samples were assayed in duplicate, and the relative miRNA expression was analyzed using the comparative CT method using the formula 2−ΔCt [20 (link)].

Quantifying miR-221, miR-222, and miR-1303 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
miR-221 and miR-222 (MI00000298 and MI00000299, respectively) were selected from
previous reports from the literature whereas miR-1303 (MI0006370) was chosen using
bioinformatics tools. Predictive analysis using TargetScan (www.targetscan.org) showed that miR-1303 is a conserved miR with a
high score for mRNA-miR interaction (context score percentile: 99) and this
prediction was further confirmed using the miRNA target prediction databases miRDB
(www.mirdb.org) and Target Miner (www.isical.ac.in/~bioinfo_miu).
miR relative quantification was performed by stem loop TaqMan® RT-qPCR (Life
Technologies, CA, USA). Specific stem loop primers were used to synthetize the cDNA
from 10 ng of total RNA using the micro-RNA transcription kit (Life Technologies, CA,
USA). Predesigned assays were purchased from Life Technologies to perform the
relative quantification using the RNU24 as an endogenous reference. RNU24 was
selected as the most stable endogenous reference among 4 small nucleolar RNAs (RNU24,
RNU6B, RNU58, RNU44), which were evaluated by using the geNorm software10 .

PCR was performed as previously described (Goto et al, 2014a (link); Goto et al, 2015a (link); Kurozumi et al, 2016 (link)). The expression levels of miR-224 (Assay ID: 002099) and miR-452 (Assay ID: 002329) were analysed by TaqMan RT-qPCR (TaqMan MicroRNA Assay; Applied Biosystems) and normalised to RNU48 (Assay ID: 001006). TaqMan probes and primers for WWP1 (P/N: Hs00366931_g1) and GUSB (P/N: Hs00939627_m1) as an internal control were obtained from Applied Biosystems (Assay-On-Demand Gene Expression Products).

Selected miRNAs were quantified with TaqMan RT‐qPCR according to the manufacturer's protocol (Applied BioSystems). Each reaction was primed using a gene‐specific stem‐loop primer (Applied BioSystems). The qPCR reactions were carried out by LightCycler® 480 Real‐Time PCR System (Roche Applied Science, Penzberg, Germany). Raw data were analyzed with the automatic quantification cycle setting for assigning baseline and quantification for quantification cycle determination. Relative expression of the mature miRNAs was normalized to the internal control small nuclear U6 expression (in tissue) or cel‐miRNA‐39 (in plasma) and calculated by the 2−ΔΔCT method.17, 18 All experiments were performed in triplicate.

Liver tissue and aorta (comprising the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and 2mm of thoracic aorta) were homogenized and total RNA extracted using QIAzol reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies). For miRNA measurements, 100 ng total RNA was reverse transcribed using the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Applied Biosystems), and miR-144 was detected by Taqman RT-qPCR using specific primers to hsa-miR-144–3p and normalized to SnoRNA 202 (Applied Biosystems). For all other gene expression analysis, 500 ng total RNA was reverse transcribed as above, and gene expression determined using a Lightcycler480 Real-time qPCR machine and Lightcycler480 mastermix (Roche). Relative gene expression was determined using an efficiency corrected method and efficiency was determined from a 3-log serial dilutions standard curve made from cDNA pooled from all samples. Primers were designed across exon-exon boundaries and are available on request. Results were normalized to 36b4 mRNA. Primer sequences are available upon request.

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.
