Transcription expression level of target genes related to osteoblastic differentiation was detected with RT-qPCR. Total RNA of MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to A1254 (0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L) for 12h was extracted with TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, California, USA). Then, reverse transcription of RNA samples was carried out using a qPCR RT Kit (18091050, Invitrogen, California, USA). Subsequently, RT-qPCR was performed with SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan) following the provided protocol. The amplification procedure was started at 95°C for 60 s, then followed by 50 cycles of denaturation at 95°C (15 s), annealing at 63°C (15 s), and extension at 72°C (45 s). RT-qPCR amplification reaction was conducted on a Bio-Rad iQ5 Real Time PCR (Bio-Rad, California, USA). The 2-ΔΔCt method was applied to calculate the fold changes of gene expression with Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh) as the calibrator. The primer sequences of bsp, ocn, trpv6, alp, and Gapdh were presented in Table 1.

RNA samples were reverse-transcribed using PrimeScript 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (TaKaRa Code: D6110A, TaKaRa Biotechnology (Dalian) Co., Ltd., Dalian, China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The real time-PCR was performed in a Bio-Rad IQ5 Real-Time PCR (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. Hercules, CA, US), using SYBR Premix Ex Taq II kit (TaKaRa Code: DRR081A, TaKaRa Biotechnology (Dalian) Co., Ltd., Dalian, China). All reactions were run using the protocol below: 30 s at 95°C; 10 s at 95°C, 20 s at annealing temperature, and 30 s at 72°C for 40 cycles. The same conditions were performed on an equal amount of RNAase-free water as a negative control. The information of primers for target and internal reference gene were displayed in table 1 including the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as internal control gene. It is recognized that using a single ICG is not ideal [18] (link) but GAPDH has been used previously as the sole ICG in studies of mammary cell gene expression.

Mature miRs were analyzed by miScript II RT kit (Qiagen) and miScript SYBR Green PCR kit with miScript Primer Assay kit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, RNA was isolated from left ventricles and cDNA for mature miR profiling was prepared using the miScript II RT kit. Mature miRa were determined by real-time PCR using the miScript SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen). cDNA template was diluted to 1 ng/μl in RNase free water. Two nanograms of template cDNA were used for miRs quantification in a final volume of 25 μl system containing specific primers and QuantiTect SYBR Green PCR master mix following manufacturer’s instructions. Primers included miScript Universal Primer, rat-specific miScript mature miRNA primers and SNORD61 miScript Primer Assay (Qiagen). Serial dilutions of the positive control were done on each plate to create a standard curve for the quantification. The real-time PCR was performed in triplicate and threshold cycle numbers were averaged for each sample using IQ5 real-time PCR (BioRad). The expression levels of each mature miR in control and losartan-treated heart tissues were computed following the method described by Livak and Schmittgen,[27 (link)] and expressed as fold of SNORD61.

In this study, according to the obtained CDSs of buffalo Smads 1, 4, and 5, three pairs of primers were designed to detect their tissue differential expression.

The β-actin (ACTB; NM_001290932), ribosomal protein S15 (RPS15; XM_006050525) and ribosomal protein S23 (RPS23; XM_006059350) were used as endogenous references for normalization of the Smads 1, 4, and 5 expression levels Table 1. The qPCR data were analyzed using the method of −2 ΔΔCt . The Δ Ct = Ct (targetgene) − Ct (geometricmeanofthreereferencegenes) . ΔΔ Ct = Δ Ct − Δ Ct (median) . The geometric mean of the Ct values of the three reference genes obtained in this study was used to normalize the targeted mRNA expression.

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.
