Real-time PCR was performed as previously reported [25 (link)]. Total RNA was isolated from cells using a standard Trizol (Invitrogen) extraction protocol using an RNeasy mini extraction kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA was converted to cDNA using a high-capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Ambion). Real-time PCR was performed on a 7500 Fast RT-PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems) using 20 ng/uL cDNA, TaqMan PCR master mix (Applied Biosystems), and gene-specific TaqMan probes (Applied Biosystems) against TAP1 (Mm00443188_m1), EHD1 (Mm01236839_m1), IRF1 (Mm01288580_m1), IRF7 (Mm00516793_g1), NFkB (Mm00476361_m1), IL1B (Mm00434228_m1), Arg1 (Mm00475988_m1), GAPDH (Mm99999915_g1), and HPRT (Mm03024075_m1). For each RNA sample, each primer set was run in triplicate. Gene expression was normalized to the internal control GAPDH (for BV2 microglia) or HPRT (for primary microglial cells), and relative expression was calculated for each gene using the 2ΔΔCT method after normalizing to the control sample.

The MeRIP assay was used to determine the m6A levels of the target gene ADIRF in A549 and H157 cells.33 (link) Total RNA was isolated from A549 and H157 cells. Stable high-expressing ALKBH5 and LUAD cells transfected with a vacant vector were used as controls (A549/vector, H157/vector). The obtained mRNA was purified using DNase (Sigma) and fragmented into ~ 100 nucleotides. m6A primary antibody (10 μg, Abcam, ab151230) linked to Magna ChIP protein/G magnetic beads was co-immunoprecipitated with the fragmented mRNA for 2 h at 4°C according to the protocols of the Magna MeRIP™ m6A kit (17–10499, Millipore, Germany). m6A RNA elution and purification were performed using an eluent containing N6-methyladenosine 5’-monophosphate sodium salt (twice, 1 h), followed by overnight precipitation in ethanol (−80°C). qRT-PCR was then performed on a 7500 Fast RT-PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems) to analyze the mRNA levels of m6A sites.

Quantitative RT-PCR for Metallothionein Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RT-PCR was performed by using the QuantiFast SybrGreen RT PCR Kit (Qiagen) according to the protocol. The reactions were conducted with a 7500 Fast RT-PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The housekeeping gene 18S was used as a reference gene. Primer’s sequences for metallothionein I and II and 18S known from previous studies by Świergosz-Kowalewska et al. (2007 (link)) were synthesised by Genomed (Warsaw, Poland) and then used for gene expression analyses. To amplify the target genes, 20 µg of RNA from each tissue sample was used. At the end of each RT-PCR reaction, the melting curve procedure was performed to check for possible unspecific products. All the reactions were run in three replicates. On each plate one identical sample (SS—RNA isolated from one of random chosen bank vole liver samples) was run to standardise readings between plates. The results of MT I, MT II, and 18S gene expressions were determined as CT (cycle number) values.

m6A Enrichment Analysis of ANGPTL3

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Magna MeRIP™ m6A kit (Millipore, USA) was utilized to determine the enrichment level of m6A on ANGPTL3 sequences. Briefly, total RNA was obtained from AGS and HGC27 cells transfected with si-METTL3, using cells transfected with si-NC as control. Subsequently, mRNA Purification Kit (Invitrogen) and fragmentation buffer were used separately to purify and fragment total RNA (50 µg) in each sample. Anti-m6A antibody (Abcam) or anti-IgG was co-immunoprecipitated for 2 h at 4 °C with the obtained purified mRNA in IPP buffer, which contains pretreated protein A/G magnetic beads (Thermo Scientific). Finally, the corresponding m6A enrichment levels in the co-precipitated RNA samples were analyzed and calculated on a 7500 Fast RT-PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems).

Quantitative PCR Analysis of mtDNA and Gapdh

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative PCR was performed using a 7500 Fast RT PCR Instrument
(Applied Biosystems) and power SYBR-Green master mix (Applied Biosystems).
For the PCR step, reaction volumes of 30 μl contained 0.5ng of LCM
gDNA, 1X power SYBR Green buffer and 500nM of each primer. The primer pairs
for Gapdh (Accession Number NM_001289726.1) FW:
AGAGACAGCCGCATCTTCTTG RV: GGTAACCAGGCGTCCGATAC. The primer pairs for
mtDNA (CytB) (Furda et al., 2014 (link)) FW: CCCAGCTACTACCATCATTCAAGT
RV: GATGGTTTGGGAGATTGGTTGATGT. The PCR protocol was done by hot start at
95°C for 10min then denaturing for 15s at 95°C, annealing for
60s at 60°C for 40 cycles followed by a melting curve. Under these
conditions and using 1ng of control gDNA extracted from whole hippocampus,
Gapdh reached a relative threshold (CT) at 22 cycles
and mt-CytB at 20 cycles. All samples were run in
triplicate and displayed a single melting point. PCR products were run on an
agarose gel to ensure a single reaction product of correct molecular weight
(117 bp fragment for mt-CytB and 223 bp fragment for
Gapdh). Differential gene expression was calculated by
2-ΔCT(mt-CytB normalized to Gapdh) from N=3
mice. Results are presented as log2 mean values of technical
triplicates with standard error of the mean (SEM) referring to biological
replicates.

RNA was extracted with MagMAX viral/pathogen (ThermoFisher) nucleic acid isolation kit using KingFisher Flex instrument for automated sample purification. Extracted RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA and amplified/detected using the EUA TaqPath COVID-19 Combo Kit (ThermoFisher) on an Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast RT-PCR instrument. The assay contains probes to detect and amplify three SARS-CoV-2 specific target genes: ORF1ab, N gene, and S gene.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from human tissue samples (48 pairs of LUAD and paracancerous tissues) and target LUAD cells (A549, H157, H460, H1299 and PC9) using an RNA extraction kit (TRIzol, Invitrogen, USA). Overall, 500 ng of target RNA samples (ADIRF, ALKBH5, and YTHDC2) was directly reverse transcribed to cDNA using reverse transcriptase (Superscript IV, Invitrogen). qRT-PCR was performed using a PCR kit (SYBR® Premix Ex Taq™, DRR041S, Takara) on a 7500 Fast RT-PCR instrument (Applied Biosystems) to process the qRT-PCR step. The qPCR reaction was performed in a 25 µL volume consisting of 12.5 µL SYBR® Premix Ex Taq™, 1 µL forward/reverse primer (10 µmol/L), 2 µL cDNA, and 8.5 µL ddH2O. Thermal cycling parameters were set as follows: initial denaturation (95°C for 5 min), followed by 40 cycles of denaturation (95°C for 5s; 60°C for 30s). The ADIRF, ALKBH5, and YTHDC2 levels were normalized to those of β-actin. The relative expression levels of target genes were calculated using the 2–∆∆Ct method. The primer sequences for the specific genes were as follows:
ADIRF-F: 5’-AGACTGCTAACCAGGCCTCT-3’

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.
