Total RNA was extracted in triplicate using Norgen Total RNA Kit (Norgen, Biotek Corporation, Thorold, ON, Canada) from a pool of mixed cells obtained from the twelve cultures of M-MSCs or of L-MSCs and from the nine cultures of AF-MSCs in triplicate. RNA purity and amounts were measured using a
NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, INK, Wilmington, DE, USA), whereas RNA integrity (RINA ≥ 8.0) was assessed using an
RNA 6000 Nano Kit (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). miRNA-sequencing libraries were generated with the
QiAseq miRNA kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germania), assessed by capillary electrophoretic analysis with the Agilent 4200 Tape station and sequenced using 1 × 75 bp-reads on an Illumina
NextSeq500 generating about 8 million fragments per sample.
