Cells were uniformly seeded into 6-well plates at 5×10 5 cells/well with different concentrations of chrysophanol (0 µM,5 µM and 10 µM) for 24 h. Total RNA from the culture cells was isolated using the TRIzol Reagent, and reverse transcribed into cDNA using a kit. Target gene expression was analyzed by RT-PCR using Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix, with GAPDH as the internal control. The forward and reverse primers were synthesized by Sangon (Shanghai, China) according to previously published sequences. The relative expression of the target genes was calculated using the2 -ΔΔCt method.

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.
