Quantifying Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The relative copy number of mtDNA was quantified using nuclear DNA content as a standard. Human mtDNA Copy Number Assay Kit (Takara) was used for RT-PCR. DNA was separated from CMECs using a DNA isolation kit (Vazyme, Nanjing, China) and 20 μL of reaction mixture per PCR tube containing 1 μL forward primer, 1 μL reverse primer, 8 μL sample, and 10 μL reaction mix was prepared on ice. Following the reaction was completed, the mtDNA copy number was calculated according to the 2 ∆Ct method.

To quantify miR-9 in cells or tissues, total RNA was purified using an Eastep Super total RNA extraction kit (catalogue no. LS1040m, Promega) following the manufacturer’s protocol for retaining small RNA, reverse transcribed using a miRNA 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (catalogue no. MR101-01, Vazyme Biotech), and PCR amplified using a ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR kit (catalogue no. Q711-02/03; Vazyme Biotech). The stem-loop primers and qPCR primers for miR-9 quantification were purchased from RiboBio. To quantify transcripts, RNA was isolated using an Eastep Super total RNA extraction kit (catalogue no.LS1040m, Promega), reverse transcribed using a HiScript II Q Select RT supermix kit (catalogue no. R233-01; Vazyme Biotech), and PCR amplified using a ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR kit (catalogue no. Q711-02/03; Vazyme Biotech). The analyzed transcript levels were normalized to GAPDH transcript levels. To quantify viral genomes, DNA was isolated using a DNA isolation kit (catalogue no.DC102-01; Vazyme Biotech) and qPCR was conducted using the ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR kit (catalogue no. Q711-02/03; Vazyme Biotech). Viral genome levels were normalized to mouse Adipsin gene levels. Serially diluted total DNA, total RNA, or synthetic miR-9 was used to generate standard curves. PCR primer sequences are listed in Supplementary Table 4.

Quantitative Analysis of MAGE-D4 Promoter Methylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was isolated from cells using a DNA Isolation Kit (Vazyme, China). The methylation status of the MAGE-D4 promoter in cells was quantified by the PyroMark Q96 ID pyrosequencing platform (Qiagen), which was performed by Shanghai Geneland Biotech Co., Ltd. The methylation status of each site was analyzed automatically by the accompanying software Pyro Q-CpG (Qiagen). Two regions in the core promoter were detected, which contained 18 CpG sites. Primers used in pyrosequencing were as follows: region 1: 5’-TTGGAGGAAAGGGTTTTTGTTG-3’ (forward) and 5’-CCCCATCCTATCTAAAACTAAATCCTTAC-3’ (reverse); region 2: 5’-GGTTGAGGGGTTTTTGGTGT-3’ (forward) and 5’-AAAAACTCCTATCTAAACCTTAAATC-3’ (reverse). Sequences of the MAGE-D4 promoter and pyrosequencing regions containing CpG sites are listed in Supplemental Materials.

Quantifying Mitochondrial Content and Morphology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For mitochondria content assay, genomic DNA was extracted from adipose tissues by DNA isolation kit (Vazyme Biotech Co., DC112). A certain amount of genomic DNA (about 100 ng) was used as templates for quantitative real‐time PCR to detect the mitochondria‐encoded gene Cox2 and nuclear‐encoded gene Cebpα levels. The mitochondrial content is shown as the ratio of the mitochondrial DNA level relative to nuclear DNA level. For measuring mitochondrial diameter, Image J software was used to quantify the transverse diameter of each mitochondrion in the EM images. 60 mitochondria were measured in each group and the average diameter was shown. Cristae abundance was estimated by the ratio of inner to outer mitochondrial membrane perimeter.[57] Thirty mitochondria were analyzed using Image J.

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.
