Total RNA was extracted from rat left ventricle using the TRIzol method (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and further purified with an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA), according to each manufacturer's protocol. RNA was quantitated by spectrophotometry using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies), and the ratio of optical densities at 260 and 280 nm (OD260/OD280) was used to evaluate purity (UV absorption ratio, A260/A280 > 1.9) of the nucleic acid samples. Purified total RNA (1.2 μg) was subsequently reverse-transcribed with High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kits (Life Technologies Japan, Tokyo, JAPAN). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed with a LightCycler 480 System using LightCycler 480 Probes Master kit (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN) with gene-specific Taqman® Gene expression assays for BNP; Rn00580641_m1, gp91phox; Rn00576710_m1, p22phox; Rn00577357_m1, p47phox; Rn00586945_m1, p67phox; Rn01759078_m1, (Applied Biosystems, South San Francisco, CA). A comparative CT method was used for relative quantification of RNA expression [16] (link). GAPDH, Rn01775763_g1, was used as an internal control for normalization.

Quantitative Analysis of Cardiac Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 6 h of stimulation by the indicated hormone (10 nM, 500 nM or 50 μM of T1AM, 100 nM of ET-1, and 20 μM of PE), each dish was snap frozen. Where indicated, NRCM were first pretreated with 500 nM of AZD6244 (Cayman Chemical) or 10 μM of H-89 30 min prior to the indicated hormone stimulation. Total RNA was extracted from the frozen cells using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) and a quantitative real-time PCR was performed using a StepOnePlus Real-time PCR System and the StepOne Software program (Applied Biosystems), as described previously15 (link),37 (link). The real-time PCR protocol consisted of one cycle at 95 °C for 20 s followed by 40 cycles at 95 °C for 1 s and 60 °C for 20 s using the primers for NPPB (Applied Biosystems, Rn00580641_m1) and GAPDH (Applied Biosystems, Rn01775763_g1). The transcriptional levels were determined using the ΔΔCt method with normalization to GAPDH15 (link).

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.
