NHEKs treated as described above were lysed and total RNA was isolated with a quick RNA extraction kit (Zymo Research, #TR205, Beijing, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. mRNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA using the PrimeScript RT Master Mix Kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan). Next, qRT-PCR was conducted in ABI Quantstudio 6 Flex system (ThermoFisher, CA, USA) using the TB Green Premix Ex Taq II Kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan) as following settings: initial denaturation at 95°C for 30s, followed by 40 cycles of 95°C for 5 s, 60°C for 34s. GAPDH was used as the endogenous control. All primers were purchased from BioTNT (Shanghai, China) and their sequence were as follows: GAPDH, 5’-GGG AAG GTG AAG GTC GGA GT-3’ (forward) and 5’-GGG GTC ATT GAT GGC AAC A-3’ (reverse); IL-6, 5’-AAC AAC CTG AAC CTT CCA AAG-3’ (forward) and 5’-CAA ACT CCA AAA GAC CAG TGA-3’ (reverse); IL-8, 5’-CTG TTA AAT CTG GCA ACC CTA-3’ (forward) and 5’-GTG AGG TAA GAT GGT GGC TAA-3’ (reverse); TNF-α, 5’-CAG GAC TTG AGA AGA CCT CAC-3’ (forward) and 5’-GTC TGG AAA CAT CTG GAG AGA-3’ (reverse).

We extracted RNA from the NPCs and brain organoids at 2, 4, 8, and 10 weeks of differentiation using the Quick RNA extraction kit (Zymo). We quantified the integrity of RNA with NanoDrop. We reverse-transcribed cDNA using M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (Promega) and random hexamer primers as described previously (44 (link)). We used the TaqMan gene expression assay to perform real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Quantifying tRNA Charging for Serine and Methionine

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine tRNA charging of serine and methionine tRNAs, a tRNA deacylation and β-elimination treatment was performed as previously described (25 (link)). Briefly, total RNA was extracted from no treatment and SHX-treated flash frozen cells using the Quick RNA extraction kit (Zymo) following the standard protocol. The RNA was then DNase I (NEB) treated for two hrs using 2 units of DNase I per hour and was cleaned of residual DNase I with the RNA clean and concentrator-5 (Zymo). DNase-treated RNA was then divided into two equal aliquots; one of the aliquots was deacylated by treatment with 1 M Tris pH 9 at 37°C for 1 h, and then ethanol precipitated. Following deacylation, both aliquots were treated with sodium periodate and 1 M lysine to promote β-elimination of oxidized 3′ RNA ends, and then ethanol precipitated. Samples were then run on a 10% TBE 7 M urea denaturing polyacrylamide gel. RNA was transferred using a wet transfer apparatus (Hoefer TE62) onto a nylon membrane and UV crosslinked to the membrane using the automatic setting (UV Stratalinker 1800). Membranes were probed in Ultrahyb Oligo buffer (Ambion) with 5′-32P-labeled (tRNASer) TCACGTGTCCGAATGGACAGTAGA or 5′-32P-labeled (tRNAMet) ATGAGCCCGGCGGAATCTCCT and signal was detected on a Typhoon phosphoimager.

The entire setup of the experiment was done in three biological replicates. Post-selection RNA was extracted from the cells as per the manufacturer’s protocol using the Zymo Quick-RNA-extraction kit Cat# R1054. RNA quantification was done using Thermo Scientific Nanodrop 2000 system. cDNA was prepared using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System for RT-PCR (Cat # 18080-051). QuantStudio Flex Real-Time PCR system was used to measure mRNA expression of gene of interest. The list of all primers used is provided in Supplementary Table 1.

BRSV Detection in Wastewater Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To minimize variability between the technical replicates of each concentration and extraction protocol, duplicate samples were concentrated and pooled. Duplicate RNA was extracted from each pooled concentrated sample and again RNA samples were pooled. Wastewater samples were also concentrated to determine background BRSV level, but BRSV could not be detected in any of the wastewater samples. Furthermore, method negative controls (i.e., nuclease-free water) were included for each concentration protocol. Additionally, triplicate method positive controls (i.e., BRSV seeded into nuclease-free water) were concentrated using protocol 7 and extracted with Zymo Quick RNA extraction kit to reveal BRSV recovery from water samples. To account for any contamination during RNA extraction, extraction negative controls were included. No template controls (NTCs) were included in each qPCR. No amplification was observed in any of the negative controls. RT-qPCR assays were performed in triplicate for each sample. Results are reported as the average of triplicate analysis with standard deviations for each sample.

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.
