Mouse tissues were homogenized in 500 ul of RNA lysing buffer in homogenizer (MP Biomedicals, FastPrep 24 5G) using metal beads (MP Biomedicals, 116925100) 2 x 60s cycle and then centrifuged at 13 000 rpm for 10 min. at 4°C. Supernatant was taken to a fresh tube and RNA was isolated using ReliaPrep™ RNA Cell Miniprep System (Promega). 250 ng to 1 ug RNA was subjected to first strand cDNA synthesis using Bioline kit. RT-qPCR analysis was carried out using CFX96/384 instruments (Bio-Rad) and the GoTaq qPCR Mastermix Kit (Promega). RT-qPCR primer sequences are listed in Supplementary
Table 1
. Expression analysis used CFX Manager Software v3.1 (Bio-Rad), with samples normalized to a combination of TATA box-binding protein and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase expression.

Quantitative RT-PCR Analysis of Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was isolated from cells using ReliaPrep™ RNA Cell Miniprep System (Promega). Up to 2 μg RNA was used to generate cDNA, using a cDNA synthesis kit (Bioline). RT-qPCR analysis was carried out using CFX96/384 instruments (Bio-Rad) and the GoTaq qPCR Mastermix Kit (Promega). RT-qPCR primer sequences are listed in Supplementary Table 1 and were purchased from Eurofins. Due to very low expression levels, ADAMTS10 gene expression analysis was performed using TaqMan probes (Hs01548644_g1 (ADAMTS10), ThermoFisher Scientific), with matching reference gene primers. Expression analysis used CFX Manager Software v3.1 (Bio-Rad), with samples normalized to a combination of TATA box binding protein (TBP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) expression. Gene expression data are in Supplemental Information.

Quantitative Real-Time PCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was isolated from ARPE-19, HDF cells and podocytes using an Absolute RNA Microprep Kit (Agilent Technologies). 500 ng RNA was used to generate cDNA using a cDNA synthesis kit (Bioline). Real-time qPCR analysis was carried out using either DNA Engine Opticon 2 (MJ Research Inc.) or CFX96/384 instruments (Bio-Rad) and the GoTaq qPCR Mastermix Kit (Promega). Expression analysis was performed in triplicate using CFX Manager software v3.0 (Bio-Rad), with samples normalised to a combination of TATA box binding protein (TBP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) expression unless otherwise stated. Gene expression data (relative to control cell expression) from across replicate experiments was either entered directly into Prism software v4.03 (GraphPad Software Inc.) or (when stated in figure legends) first imported into the ‘Gene Study’ functionality of CFX Manager prior to transfer of expression, s.e.m., and n-values into Prism. Prism software was used for analysis via two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post-tests. The oligonucleotide primers used for all qPCR reactions are shown in supplementary material Table S1.

Quantifying G2L1 Expression in U2OS Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from U2OS cells using the ReliaPrep RNA Cell Miniprep System (Promega, UK), 48 hours post-transfection. 0.5 μg total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis with MMLV reverse transcriptase and either random hexamers or oligo(dT) primers together with control RNA template according to manufacturer manual (Tetro cDNA Synthesis Kit, Bioline, UK). RT-qPCR was performed using SYBR Green Mastermix (GoTaq 1-Step RT-qPCR, Promega, UK). Primers for G2L1 were designed using the NCBI primer-BLAST oligos designer web tool.
Primer sequences are:
Forward primer: CTC ATC TTT GTG CGG GTG CT
Reverse primer: AGG TAA TGC TCC AGC GTG TC
The efficiency of each primer set for RT-qPCR was determined to be between 95 and 100%. Primers were purchased from Life Technologies (UK). Real-time qPCR analysis was carried out using CFX96/384 instruments (Bio-Rad) and the GoTaq qPCR Mastermix Kit (Promega). Expression analysis was performed in triplicate using CFX Manager software v3.0 (Bio-Rad), with samples normalised to a combination of TATA box binding protein (TBP) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) expression. Gene expression data (relative to control cell expression) from across replicate experiments was entered directly into Microsoft Excel, where it was used for analysis using One-way ANOVA.

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.
