Total RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA). One microgram of RNA was used to synthesize cDNAs with the RT Master Mix (Toyobo, Japan). Real-time PCR was performed using SYBR Green real-time PCR mix (Toyobo, Japan) with specific primers (Supplementary Tables 1, 2). The RT-qPCRs were cycled using an ABI StepOnePlus instrument (Applied Biosystems, USA) under standard cycling conditions. Target gene expression levels were normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Relative RNA levels were calculated using the comparative cycle threshold (CT) method (2−ΔΔCT method), where CT indicates the amplification cycle number at which the fluorescence generated within a reaction increases above a defined threshold fluorescence, and ΔΔCT = experimental sample (CTtarget gene − CTGAPDH) − control sample (CTtarget gene − CTGAPDH).

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.
