Quantification of lncRNA Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNAzol (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) was used for RNA isolation from H1993 and H1581 cells (106 cells) or tissues (about 0.025 g tissues in 0.5 ml RNAzol reagent). DNase I digestion was performed on all RNA samples. Following that, reverse transcriptions were performed to synthesize cDNAs. With cDNAs as a template, qPCRs were performed to detect the expression of WT1-AS and UCA with 18S rRNA as the endogenous control. Three technical replicates were included in each experiment and Ct values of targeted genes were normalized to 18S rRNA using the 2-ΔΔCT method. The primer sequences were: WT1-AS Forward: 5′-GAGGACAGA GAGGCATGGAG-3′; Reverse: 5′-ACCCCTAGGCAAGGAGAAGA-3′; UCA1 Forward: 5′-ACGCTAACTGGCACCTTGTT-3′; Reverse: 5′-TGGGGATTACTGGGGTAGGG-3′; 18S rRNA Forward: 5′-CGGCTACCACATCCAAGGAA-3′; Reverse: 5′-TGTCACTACCTCCCCGTGTCA-3′.

For each experimental group, total RNA was extracted from 5 different hatchlings (N = 5) using RNAzol (Merck, Darmstad, Germany) as previously described in [28] (link). Briefly, each hatchling was homogenized using an Ultra-Turrax homogenizer (IKA-Werke GmbH & Co., Staufen, Germany), total RNA was extracted according to the standard protocol, and genomic DNA contamination was removed with DNase I digestion.

Moreover, 5 µg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis, using Iscript cDNA synthesis kit (Biorad, Milan, Italy).
The qRT-PCRs were performed with the SYBR green method in a CFX thermal cycler (Bio-rad, Milan, Italy) as previously described in [29] (link). For each experimental group, replicates (N = 5) were run in duplicate. The final primer concentration was 10 pmol/µL. β tubulin (βtub) mRNA and 18S RNA were selected using NormFinder (V0.953) [30] (link) and used to normalize target gene expression levels analyzed by CFX Manager Software version 3.1 (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), including GeneEx Macro Conversion and GenEx Macro files, and the results are represented by bar plots along with the standard deviation.

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.
