For total RNA isolation TRIzol reagent (Life Technologies, USA) was used. The isolation was performed according to the producer’s protocol in triplicate. In order to purify the isolated RNA from the remaining DNA, a DNaseI kit (Invitrogen, Germany) was used according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For reverse transcription reaction, that is cDNA synthesis on an RNA matrix, the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Life Technologies, USA) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Real-time PCR was performed in a StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR Systems thermocycler (Applied Biosystems, USA) using the DyNAmo SYBR Green qPCR Kit (Thermo Scientific, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Primers were prepared to not amplify fungal sequences. Their annealing temperature was 57 °C and their sequences are presented in Additional file 3: Table S1. Real-time PCR reactions were performed in three repetitions for each of the analyzed samples. Changes in gene expression levels were calculated as relative quantities (RQ) of the reference gene (actin) and presented as x-fold of gene expression in relation to non-treated plants.

RNA was extracted from fecal swab samples with a QIAamp viral RNA Minikit and from tissue samples with an RNeasy minikit (Qiagen). Alternatively, RNAs observed after the capsid protection assay were used for qRT-PCR. To detect viral genomic RNA, ORF1b-specific primers were designed based on the determined FECV sequence. A 10-µl PCR mixture was used per reaction and contained 2.5 µl of 4× TaqMan Fast Virus 1-Step master mix (Life Technologies, Inc.), 0.9 µl forward primer F1 (5′ AGCGTTGTACTAAGAGCGTTATGGA 3′) of a 10 µM stock solution, 0.9 µl reverse primer R1 (5′ CACATCGACCTTCCTTATACAAAAAG 3′) of a 10 µM stock solution, 0.1 µl of a 10 µM stock solution of the probe (5′ 6-carboxyfluorescein [FAM]-ATGAGCAAGTCTGTTATAAC-MGB-NFQ-3′), 3.6 µl of nuclease-free water, and 2 µl sample RNA or diluted standard RNA. The reverse transcription step (50°C for 5 min) and the enzyme activation step (95°C for 20 s) were followed by 45 cycles (3 s at 95°C and 30 s at 60°C) in a StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR Systems thermocycler (Applied Biosystems).

SYTOX Green Assay for Bacterial Membrane Integrity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To verify the effect of peptides on cell membrane integrity, a SYTOX green uptake assay was used, as previously described. Briefly, E coli and S. aureus cultures in exponential phase of growth were centrifuged at 2000× g for 5 min and washed with PBS 1X to prepare a solution at a concentration of 1 × 106 CFU/mL in PBS 1X. Then, in 100 μL qPCR tubes, 90 µL of the bacterial solution, 5 µL of peptide at 200 µM and 5 µL of SYTOX Green dye at 100 µM were added. The q-PCR tubes were placed in an Applied Biosystems StepOnePlus™ Real-Time PCR Systems thermocycler, programmed with 30 cycles for one minute at 30 °C, using the Syber green filter, recording the fluorescence data at the end of each cycle. Each assay was performed in triplicate.

Examining Metastasis Genes in Hs578T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effects of ECM1 downregulation was examined using the TaqMan Human Tumor Metastasis array (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA) in the Hs578T cell line. Total RNA was extracted after homogenization of cells and tissues using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen Sciences, Maryland MD). Total RNA (1μg) was reverse transcribed with the High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City CA). The cDNA reaction was diluted to 1:10 and used as a template for real-time RT-PCR. The cycling conditions were as follows: one cycle of 2 minutes at 500C, one cycle of 10 minutes at 950C, 40 cycles of denaturation (15 seconds at 950 C) and annealing/extension (1 minute at 600 C). All reactions were carried out in the Step One Plus Real-Time PCR Systems Thermocycler (Applied Biosystems, Foster city, CA) in duplicate and repeated at least twice. The ΔCt for mRNA expression was calculated relative to the Ct (threshold cycle) of 18S ribosomal RNA. Relative mRNA expression was calculated using the formula 2 (−ΔΔCt). The results obtained were analyzed following the manufacturer protocols. The arrays were run in duplicate on cells transfected with NTsiRNA or ECM1 siRNA. Alterations in RNA expression were confirmed by western blotting.

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.
