RNA was extracted as described previously [14] using TRI Reagent (Sigma) following the manufacturer's guidelines and quantified using a NanoPhotometer P300 (Implen). 260/280 absorbance ratios, as an index of RNA purity, were consistently >2 and RNA integrity (RIN numbers) were >7.5 indicating the presence of intact RNA. Total RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA as per the manufacturer's instructions using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen; 15 min, 42 °C; 5 min, 95 °C) or using GoScript™ Reverse Transcription System (Promega; 5 min, 70 C; 5 min, 4 °C; 5 min, 25 °C; 60 min, 42 °C, 15 min, 70 °C) using a BioRad T1000 Thermal Cycler. cDNA was diluted four-fold in nuclease-free water and 2 μl diluted cDNA was used per reaction in the qPCR analysis detailed below. Expression of hnRNA or mRNA in samples was calculated based on the Pfaffl method of relative quantification [16] using primer/probes as previously published [14] and standardized to the expression of house-keeping genes (HKGs) hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (Hprt1) and tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, zeta (Ywhaz). These genes were selected as HKGs due to their stability across experimental groups (Suppl. Fig. 2 (metyrapone experiment) & 3 (ADX experiment)). The data were expressed as fold change relative to the relevant control condition.

Plasmid DNA Extraction and Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmid vectors were created using Invitrogen's pCRTM2.1 TOPOTM cloning vectors per the manufacture's speci cations. Ligated vectors were then transformed into DH5α™ cells per the manufacture's speci cations. Successfully, transformed colonies subsequently grown overnight in broth.
Plasmid DNA was puri ed using a Thermo Scienti c GeneJET Plasmid Miniprep Kit (#K0503). To determine 16S copy number for each sample we rst calculated the mass of a single plasmid containing our insert using the Applied Biosystems equation. An Implen nanophotometer P300 was used to assess DNA concentration of the puri ed plasmid solution and subsequent 10-fold serial dilutions were made.
The dilutions were then used as standards for all subsequent qPCR quanti cations. Total copy number was determined by rst calculating the 'raw' copy number (n raw ) in 1µl of DNA based on the Cq value and the standard curve using the formula n raw = logarithmic trendline function. To determine the total number of copies present in each extraction the n raw value was normalized according to elution volume and any subsequent dilution(s).
