For each treatment, three biological replicates were taken from different potted plants. Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, America) was used to isolated total RNA from about 0.1 g samples of leaves and roots. DNasel was used to remove contaminating genomic DNA from RNA. A UV spectrophotometry NanoDrop was used to examine the RNA concentration and purity (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lenexa, Ks, USA). Using a Hifair III 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis SuperMix for qPCR with genome-DNA-removing enzyme, 2.5 ug RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA (Yesen, Nanjing, China). The qPCR was carried out on a Quant Studio 6 detection system (ABI, Forster City, CA, USA) with a SYBR green PCR mix (Takara, RR420A, Shika, Japan). The following was the real-time PCR program: 95°C for 5 minutes; 40 cycles of 95°C for 10 seconds and 60°C for 30 seconds. Table 2 contains a list of primers. For gene expression level analysis, the bermudagrass Actin gene was used as an inner control, and the comparative Ct method was used.

Cells, microvesicles, and purified exososmes isolation described above was resuspended in RNAiso reagent (TaKaRa, #9108) for total RNA isolation following the manufacturer's instructions. The resulting RIN (RNA integrity number) scores and concentrations were considered when qualifying samples to proceed. The small RNA library construction and deep sequencing were described in previous study.13For copy number analysis of microRNA in microvesicles or purified exosomes, RNA was reverse transcribed using a reverse‐transcription kit (TaKaRa, #RR047A) according to the manufacturer's instructions. cDNA was mixed with SYBR Green (Applied Biosystems) and specific primers of miRNA (RiBoBio, Guangzhou, China). The synthetic miRNA fragments input ranged from 1 fM to 100 pM to generate standard curves and reactions were run on ABI QuantStudio 6 Detection System.

Genomic DNA and total RNA were extracted using standard procedures with the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit or the RNeasy Purification Kit, respectively (Qiagen). DNA and RNA were quantified by spectrophotometry. cDNA was generated from 1 μg of total RNA using the High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific). PCR and RT-PCR amplification were performed using Q5 High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (NEB). qRT-PCR was performed in 384-well plates with 2x SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) using a QuantStudio 6 Detection System (Applied Biosystems). Expression levels were normalized to the housekeeping genes ALBUMIN for genomic DNA PCR and GAPDH for RT-PCR or GUSB for qRT-PCR. The primers used are listed in Supplementary Table 1.

RNA was extracted from human SAN and right atria tissue with the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) using deoxyribonuclease on column digestion according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Two micrograms of total RNA was used for complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis in 50-μl reaction volume with MMLV reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies) with poly-T primers. For synthesis of each cDNA, template control for the detection of possible contamination and RT control for tracing of possible genomic DNA presence were not used. RT-qPCR was performed on QuantStudio 6 Detection System (Applied Biosystems) with 384-well platform. The reaction was performed with FastStart Universal SYBR Green Master Mix with ROX (Roche) using the manufacturer’s recommended conditions. The size of the amplicon was verified, and a dissociation curve was obtained. Each well contained 0.5 μl of cDNA solution and 10 μl of reaction mixture. Each sample was quadruplicated and repeated twice using de novo synthesized cDNA sets. RT-qPCR analysis was performed using ΔΔCt method. Expression levels of HCN4 transcript were normalized to expression of S18. Primers for HCN4 amplification were as follows: ACGTGTGCGGTCTAGTTTAATCC (forward) and AGAACGTCCCTAGACCATGCA (reverse); for RPS18, CAGCCAGGTCCTAGCCAATG (forward) and CCTCTATGGGCCCGAATCTT (reverse).

Total RNA was isolated using a Quick-RNA kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA) and tested for quality on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). RNA concentrations were determined with a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). RNA was reverse transcribed using Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and a mixture of anchored oligo-dT and random decamers (Integrated DNA Technologies, Coralville, IA). Two reverse-transcription reactions were performed for each sample using either 200 or 50 ng of input RNA in a final volume of 50 μl. Aliquots (2 μl) of the cDNA were used to measure the expression levels of the genes with the primers listed in Supplementary Table 4, and Power SYBR Green or Taqman Universal master mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific Waltham, MA), on a QuantStudio6 detection system (Thermo Fisher Scientific Waltham, MA). Cycling conditions were 95°C, 15 min, followed by 40 (two-step) cycles (95°C, 15 s; 60°C, 60 s). Ct (cycle threshold) values were converted to quantities (in arbitrary units) using a standard curve (four points, four-fold dilutions) established with a calibrator sample. Values were normalized to those for mRNA encoding the ribosomal protein 36B4.

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.
