Total RNA was isolated using NucleoSpin® RNA XS (Macherey-Nagel) from in vitro grown oocytes after 10 days of follicle culture or from oocytes obtained directly from adult (C57BL × CBA) F1 females (7-11 weeks old). A total of 50 oocytes with an intact nucleus per sample were used and 3 samples per group were collected. RNA was extracted using NucleoSpin RNA XS (Macherey-Nagel). A cDNA library was prepared using SMARTer® UltraLow Input RNA for Sequencing (Clonetech Laboratories) and the samples were processed by BGI Tech Solutions. The cDNA product was synthesized and amplified using SMARTer PCR cDNA Synthesis Kit (Clontech) from the total RNA (10 ng) of sample. The cDNA was fragment by Covaris E210 (Covaris) and the median insert length was about 200bp. The paired-end cDNA library was prepared in accordance with Illumina’s protocols with an insert size of 200 bp and sequenced for 100 bp by HiSeq2000 (Illumina).

The gene sequence of SG7 from A. aquasalis was deposited in GenBank under the accession number KY614520. The primers were designed using Primer3Plus software (http://primer3plus.com/). The primers designed for A. aquasalis SG7 (accession number KY614520) were Aaq_SG7_Fw (TGGCCGCTAGAATGACA) and Aaq_SG7_Rv (TCGTTGAACAGCTCCACCAG). One-day-old female A. aquasalis were dissected to extract their salivary glands and midgut (pools of 20 glands and 10 guts). RNA was extracted using Nucleospin RNA XS (Macherey-Nagel) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. DNAse treatment was performed according to the Nucleospin RNA XS (Macherey-Nagel) manufacturer’s instructions. Total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis with 0.5 µg of random hexamers (Promega) using the M-MLV reverse transcriptase system (Promega) at a final volume of 25 µl. PCRs were performed in 35 cycles (94 °C for 30 s, 60 °C for 30 s and 72 °C for 45 s) with 2 µl of cDNA and 200 nM of each primer, 200 µM of dNTPs and 1 U of Taq polymerase (Ludwig Biotec) at a final volume of 20 µl.

As we considered the 24°C temperature regime a more abiotic stressful environment for MEAM1 (Butler et al. 1983 ; Nava-Camberos et al. 2001 ; Tsueda & Tsuchida 2011 ; Zidon et al. 2016 (link)), newly emerged adults (1–7 days old) for transcriptomic analysis were collected only from the 24°C-treated cages, separated by sex (males and females) and pooled by treatment (50 individuals in each biological replicate). The CC and hPC treatments had five female replicas, the hPhP treatment had four female replicas, and the ChP treatment had three female replicas. The female samples were homogenized immediately upon collection with the first buffer (NucleoSpin RNA XS, Macherey-Nagel) using 1-mm sterilized zirconia beads and two pulses of 60 seconds at 5,000 rpm of a bead-beater (Minilys, Bertin Technologies). The male samples were saved for analyzing the epigenetic effects (DNA methylation) on gene expression (currently conducted). Total RNA was extracted from the homogenates according to the manufacturer’s instructions (NucleoSpin RNA XS, Macherey-Nagel). Library construction and sequencing were performed by Macrogen Inc. TruSeq RNA Library v2 libraries were constructed and sequenced on a NovaSeq 6,000 platform. On average, it produced approximately 30 million 100-bp pair-ended reads per sample (biological replicate) (supplementary tables S4 and S5, Supplementary material online).

Eye imaginal discs containing scrib and wild-type cells were dissected in PBS and the discs were collected in Schneider's medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The scrib and wild-type cells from 40 eye imaginal discs were dissociated with TrypLEÔ Select Enzyme (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The dissociated cells were directly collected into lysis buffer (NucleoSpin RNA XS, MACHEREY-NAGEL) using FACS Aria II cell sorter (BD Biosciences) according to GFP or RFP fluorescent.
The detailed protocol is described in Khan et al. (2016) .
qRT-PCR Total RNA was extracted from homogenized wandering L3 larval brains using NucleoSpin RNA XS (MACHEREY-NAGEL) and prepared for reverse transcription using SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using THUNDERBIRD SYBR qPCR mix (TOYOBO) on a StepOnePlus system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Analysis was performed with StepOne software (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Reactions were carried out in multiple replicate indicated in the figure legends. All expression levels were normalized to those of alpha-tubulin (Ponton et al., 2011) . The fold changes in mRNA expression were calculated using the relative quantification standard curve method, and expression values were expressed as fold increase in the average expression compared with control.

Three independent experiments with 3–4 independent samples containing 30 CC collected after 6 h IVM (therefore, non-expanded CC) in presence or absence of BPS (10 nM or 1 µM) were used for transcriptomic analysis by real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Briefly, total RNA was extracted from CCs using Tri reagent (T9424, Cergy Pontoise, France) and treated using XS RNA Nucleospin (Macherey Nagel, France), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Subsequently, the RNA concentration was determined using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Nyxor Biotech, Paris, France), and RNA integrity was checked by electrophoresis. DNase treatment and reverse transcription were performed on 150 ng total extracted CC RNA using the Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit (Thermo-Fisher Scientific), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Six independent experiments with 3–4 HGC samples collected after 48-h treatment in the presence or absence of BPS (10 nM or 1 µM) were used for transcriptomic analysis using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Briefly, total RNA was extracted from HCG using the TRI reagent and treated using XS RNA Nucleospin (Macherey Nagel, France), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Subsequently, the RNA concentration was determined using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Nyxor Biotech, Paris, France), and RNA integrity was checked using electrophoresis.

qPCR reactions were performed as previously described [59 (link)]. The geometric mean of two housekeeping genes (ribosomal protein L19 [RPL19] and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase [GAPDH]) was used to normalise gene expression. The relative amounts of gene transcripts (R) were calculated according to the equation:
R = EgeneCt genegeometric mean EGAPDHCt GAPDH; ERPL19Ct RPL19 where E is the primer efficiency (Table 1) and Ct the cycle threshold.

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.
