Total cellular RNA was extracted with Trizol (TaKaRa, Cat# 9109). Subsequently, complementary DNAs (cDNAs) were synthesized using First-Strand Synthesis System (TaKaRa, Cat# RR036A) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was analyzed by qPCR with SYBR Green (YEASEN, Cat# 11143ES50) and gene-specific primers (mPRELID2, forward 5′-GTCGCTTGCTTCCTC-3′, reverse 5′-GATTTTCTACGCTTTCC-3′; mFUNDC2, forward 5′-GCTAACAGTCAAGGAAA-3′, reverse 5′-TCTGGAATACGAAACC-3′; mMFN1, forward 5′-ATCACTGCAATCTTCGGCCA-3′, reverse 5′-AGCAGTTGGTTGTGTGACCA-3′; mSDHA, forward 5′-GAAGATTTATCAGCGTG-3′, reverse 5′-GTGTAAGAGTGAGTGGC-3′; mKi67, forward 5′-GCTCACCTGGTCACCATCAA-3′, reverse 5′-TGACACTACAGGCAGCTGGA-3′; mAFP, forward 5′-GTTTCCAGAACCTGCCGAGA-3′, reverse 5′-CTGAGCAGCCAAGGACAGAA-3′; hHPRT, forward 5′-AGCCCTGGCGTCGTGATTA-3′, reverse 5′-ACAATGTGATGGCCTCCCA-3′; hFUNDC2, forward 5′-ACTGGCAACGAGTGGAGAAG-3′, reverse 5′-CATGCCAAGCAGAAAGCCTC-3′. Relative expression of mRNA was normalized by Succinate dehydrogenase, subunit A (Sdha) or hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1) mRNA. The real-time PCR results were analyzed and expressed as relative expression of CT (threshold cycle) using the 2−▵▵Ct method.

Total RNA of PDAC cells were isolated with TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen) and the First-Strand Synthesis System (Takara) was used for first-strand cDNA synthesis. Each sample was processed in triplicate and each experiment was repeated at least three times independently. β-actin was used as loading control. The cDNA was used as template for q-PCR. 2x SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix (Bimake) and CFX96 Touch™ Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad) were used in the q-PCR experiment. Primer sequences used in this study were shown in Table S2.

Total RNA was extracted from cultured fibroblasts treated with or without ozone oil by TRIzol (15596018, Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was synthesized from total RNA with the First-strand Synthesis System (2680A, Takara) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real-time PCR was performed by SYBR Premix Ex Taq II (DRR081A, Takara) with 7500 Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems) and normalized to the expression of GAPDH. Relative quantitation and statistics were estimated as the mean of three replicate assays calculated by the 7500 FAST system sequence detection software Q17 (Applied Biosystems). The primers used are:

Collagen I-F: 5ʹ-GCTCCTCTTAGGGGCCACT-3ʹ

Collagen I-R: 5ʹ-CCACGTCTCACCATTGGGG-3ʹ

α-SMA-F: 5ʹ-AGGGAGTAATGGTTGGA ATGG-3ʹ

α-SMA-R: 5ʹ-GGTGATGATGCCGTGTTCTA-3ʹ

TGF-β1-F: 5ʹ-CTCCCGTGGCTTCTAGTGC-3ʹ

TGF-β1-R: 5ʹ-GCCTTAGTTTGGACAGGATCTG-3ʹ

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TRizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to extract total RNA from PBMCs. First-strand cDNA was synthesized using the First-Strand Synthesis System (TaKaRa, Dalian, China). SYBR Green PCR Master mix (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) was used to perform the Real-time PCR.
An Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) system was used to analyze the subunit EBI3 and p35 of IL-35. The following primers were employed in each reaction: EBI3, forward 5′-GGCAAGTAGCAAG GGCTTC-3′ and reverse 5′-AGTCGGTCATCTGAGGTTGC-3′; p35, forward 5′-TCCTCCTTGAAGAACCGGA-3′ and reverse 5′-TGA CAACGGTTTGGAGGGAC-3′. Glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as the control: forward 5′-CAGGAGGCCATTGCTGATGAT-3′ and reverse 5′-GAAGGCTGGGGCTCATTT-3′. The thermal cycling conditions are described as follows: Following an initial denaturation step at 95 °C for 30 s, 40 cycles of profile were carried out: 95 °C, 5 s; 60 °C, 34 s. Relative transcripts were determined by the formular: 2−(CTtarget-CTcontrol).

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.
