Genomic DNA from cultured cells was isolated using the Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega) following the manufacturer’s protocols. ~ 1 μg genomic DNA was subjected to bisulfite conversion using EpiTect Bisulfite Kit (Qiagen). The bisulfite sequencing was obtained by three methods: sequencing of individual clones, pyrosequencing and direct sequencing of the bisulfite-treated and PCR-amplified genomic DNA. PCR amplification was obtained by AmpliTaq DNA polymerase Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For the Plagl1: TSS-DMR, Peg13: TSS-DMR and Igf2r: TSS-DMR, PCR products were cloned into the TOPO TA cloning vector (Invitrogen) and individual clones were isolated and sequenced (Eurofins Genomics). For the H19/Igf2:IG-DMR, Mest:TSS-DMR and Rasgrf1:TSS-DMR, DNA methylation was assessed by Sanger sequencing (Eurofins Genomics) of the bisulfite-treated and PCR-amplified genomic DNA (AmpliTaq DNA polymerase Kit, Thermo Fisher Scientific). For the Kcnq1ot1:TSS-DMR, Meg3/Dlk1:IG-DMR, Peg3:TSS-DMR, and Snrpn:TSS-DMR DNA methylation was analysed by pyrosequencing using PyroMark Q48 Autoprep sequencing machine (Qiagen). For the H19/Igf2:IG-DMR, Mest:TSS-DMR and Rasgrf1:TSS-DMR, DNA methylation was assessed after direct sequencing of the bisulfite-treated and PCR-amplified genomic DNA. All the primers are listed in Supplementary Table 6.

Quantitative RT-PCR Analysis of SPHK1 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative real-time PCR (qt-RT-PCR) analysis was performed by a two-step process, a 15-cycle preamplification step (AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase Kit; Applied Biosystems Inc., Foster City, CA, USA) followed by measurement of mRNA with an ABI PRISM 7900HT Sequence Detection System. For the measurement of mRNA levels SPHK1, primers were custom designed and ordered from IDT (San Diego, CA). The sequences of the primers are: forward 5’-CTTGCAGCTCTTCCGGAGTC-3’, reverse 5’-GCTCAGTGAGCATCAGCGTG-3’.

RNA Extraction and RT-qPCR Analysis

Biopsy samples were immediately placed in 150µl RNAlater (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and stored at −70°C. After thawing, samples were homogenized using Tissuelyser (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), and total RNA was extracted using Purelink micro to midi Total RNA Purification System (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Peripheral blood was collected in PAXgene RNA collection tubes (BD Diagnostics, Valencia, CA), stored at room temperature for 6–24 hours, then frozen at −70°C. Total RNA was by PAXgene blood miRNA kit (PreAnalytiX, QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). 1µg of total RNA/100 µl was converted into complementary DNA (cDNA) using Taqman Reverse Transcription kit (Applied Biosystems/Life Technologies, Foster City, CA, USA).
Real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed by a two-step process—a 10-cycle preamplification step (AmpliTaq® DNA Polymerase Kit; Applied Biosystems/Life Technologies, Foster City, CA, USA) followed by measurement of mRNA copies with an ABI PRISM 7900HT Sequence Detection System (for details and primers see supplemental methods).

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.
