Colon cancer cells in each treatment group were collected. Total RNA extraction kit (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was adopted to extract RNA complying with the protocol. β‐actin was taken as an internal reference. The reverse transcription kit (Takara, RR037A) was adopted to reversely transcribe the RNA, while qRT‐PCR kit (Takara, RR820A) was applied for quantitative analysis. Each sample has to be repeated at least three times. In the end, the relative expression was calculated using 2ΔΔCt. Table 1 lists the involved primer sequences.

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.
