Total RNA was isolated from H9c2 cells and NRVMs, using TRIzol reagent. Two micrograms of RNA was reverse-transcribed with SuperScript II using random primers. Real-time PCR was performed using SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Life Technologies) in an Applied Bio system's Step one RT-PCR system with the following thermal cycling conditions: 10 min at 95°C, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15 s and at 60°C for 1 min for denaturation, annealing and elongation. Relative mRNA levels were calculated by the method of 2−DDCt (Livak and Schmittgen 2001 (link)). Data were normalized to GAPDH mRNA levels. To determine the specificity of amplification, melting curve analysis was applied to all final PCR products. All samples were performed in triplicate. The expression suite software (Applied Bio-systems) was used to analyze the data.

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.
