Explants were harvested from each group at day 0 (baseline) and day 7 (n=5–6/group/day). Explants were immediately flash frozen with liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until RNA extraction. Samples were placed in Trizol reagent, homogenized with a bead homogenizer (Benchmark Scientific), and then separated using phase-gel tubes (Qiagen)[28 (link)]. The supernatant was then purified according to the Zymo Quick-RNA purification kit protocol (Zymo Research). The RNA was then converted into cDNA with reverse transcription and qPCR was performed with the Applied Biosystems StepOne Plus RT-PCR (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Primer pairs and sequences are listed in the Supplemental Data (Supplemental Table S1). We measured genes responsible for matrix synthesis (Col1a1), regulation of collagen fibrillogenesis (Fmod, Dcn, Bgn), matrix degradation (Mmp3, Mmp8, Mmp9, Mmp13), as well as markers of injury (Il6, Il1b, Tnfa, Casp3). Expression for each gene was calculated from the threshold cycle (Ct) value and was normalized to the housekeeping gene β-Actin. All data is represented in log space.

Five out of 47 pairs of specimens were selected for sequencing. The preparation of whole transcriptome libraries and deep sequencing were conducted by Hua Da Gene Corp., Ltd. (Shenzhen, China). The whole transcriptome libraries were established using the New England Biolabs (NEB) Next Ultra Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Libraries were tested for quality using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system and the StepOnePlus RT-PCR (Applied Biosystems, USA) system. The qualified libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq X Ten instrument in paired-end form, generating 150 nucleotides. Clean reads were aligned to the human genome (GRCh38) using the HISAT program (18 (link)) and alignment results were reconstructed with cuff compare. The NONCODE and Pfam databases were used as annotation references for lncRNA and mRNA analyses. INFERNAL (19 (link)) was used to predict lncRNAs. CIRI (20 (link)) and find_circ (10 (link)) were used to predict circRNAs. The read count of each transcript was normalized in the form of fragments per kilobase of exon per million mapped reads (FPKM). In our study, differentially expressed genes and transcripts were identified using the following criteria: |log2(fold-change)| ≥1 and P value ≤0.05 between the two samples.

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.
