RNA sequencing technology was provided by Shanghai OE Biotech Co. Ltd. Jurkat cells that had been treated with eIF3d si-RNA or control si-RNA for 48 h were used for RNA extraction using an RNA Isolation Kit (Ambion) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Libraries were constructed using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA LTSample Prep Kit (Illumina) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, these libraries were sequenced on the Illumina sequencing platform (HiSeqTM 2500 or Illumina HiSeq X Ten), generating 125-bp/150-bp paired-end reads. Raw data (raw reads) were processed using the Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) Quality Control (QC) Toolkit. Clean reads were mapped to a reference genome using hisat2. The Fragments Per kb Per Million Reads (FPKM) value for each gene was calculated using cufflinks, and the read counts for each gene were obtained by htseq-count. IPA pathway enrichment analysis was applied for functional categorization of differences in gene expression (absolute fold change > 1.2 and P value < 0.05).

The RNA isolation kit was purchased from Ambion, Inc. The methods of RNA extraction have been described previously.19 (link) Briefly, ten 10-μm sections were cut from the fresh frozen tissue blocks of the residual sample from the kidney biopsy using a microtome, pooled in a 1.5-mL microcentrifuge tube, and homogenized and dissolved in digestion buffer.20 (link) Urine samples were centrifuged at 3,000g for 30 minutes and 13,000g for 5 minutes at 4 °C. Specimens were then stored at −80 °C until use.
Tissue and urinary miR-21 levels were quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR) using the ABI Prism 7900 Sequence Detection System (Applied Biosystems). Commercially available Taqman primers and probes, including 2 unlabeled PCR primers and 1 FAM dye-labeled TaqMan MGB probe, were used (all from Applied Biosystems). RNU48 (Applied Biosystems) was used as housekeeping genes.21 (link),22 (link) All RT-QPCR experiments were performed in triplicate. Results were analyzed using Sequence Detection Software, version 2.0 (Applied Biosystems). The ΔΔCT method for relative quantitation was used. Urinary miR-21 level represents the total amount excreted in an 8-hour overnight urine specimen, as compared with that of the housekeeping gene.

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.
