Twenty-four hours after injection of LSS- or OSS-sEVs, mice were euthanized via CO2 inhalation and pressure perfused with saline containing heparin (10 U/mL) via the left ventricle after severing the inferior vena cava. Next, we isolated and carefully cleaned the partially ligated LCA and non-ligated RCA of periadventitial fat, as described previously [1 (link)]. Briefly, we flushed the lumen of both carotid arteries for a few seconds with 200 μL of QIAzol lysis reagent (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) using a 29-gauge insulin syringe in a microfuge tube. The eluent was used to isolate endothelial cell-enriched RNA with QIAzol (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of RNA was quantified using a NanoDrop (ND-2000) spectrophotometer. We synthesized single-strand cDNA using M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA) and oligo-dT 15 primer (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA). qRT-PCR was performed using AmpiGene qPCR Green Mix Hi-ROX (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA) and gene-specific primers on an ABI StepOne Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA).

AMPIGENE qPCR Green Mix Hi-ROX (Enzo Life Sciences, Cat# ENZ-NUC104) was used under the following conditions: 95 °C for 2 min for initial denaturation, followed by 5 s (40 cycles) at 95 °C and 30 s at 57 °C. Data were generated in the final step at 95 °C for 15 s and melting curves (65 to 95 °C) were acquired at the end for each primer set. Relative gene expression was calculated by 2−ΔΔCt method by normalizing gene expression to β-actin (Aktas et al. 2015 (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.
