Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed using Analytikjena qTOWER3G Real-Time PCR system to amplify various nAChR subunits in each cell line, including α3, α4, α5, α7, α9, α10, β2, β3 and β4 nAChR subunits. Each qPCR reaction mix contained 5 µL of SYBR Green I Master (Roche, Indianapolis, USA), 2 µM of each primer, 1 µL cDNA and DNase and RNase-free H2O with total volume of 20 µL. The cycling conditions were 95 °C for 10 min (initial denaturation and polymerase activation) followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 15 s, annealing at 58 °C for 40 s and extension at 60 °C for 60 s. To correct minor variations in mRNA extraction and reverse transcription, the gene expression values were normalized using the housekeeping gene glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH). Relative quantification of the mRNA level was computed by the comparative Ct (2−∆∆Ct) method [58 (link)]. The data were analyzed with a sequence detector software (Analytikjena qPCR software 3.2) and nAChR subunits expression levels in breast cancer cells were compared with those in human normal mammary gland epithelial cell line HS578BST. All tests were performed in triplicate.

Using the Plant RNA Kit (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) and following the manufacturer’s instructions, the total RNA was isolated from leaf samples. The qualified total RNA was digested with gDNA Eraser (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) to eliminate genomic DNA. The PrimeScriptTM RT reagent kit (TaKaRa, Dalian, China) was then used to create the first-strand complementary DNA (cDNA) from the treated total RNA. According to the manufacturer’s instructions, qRT-PCR was carried out with a qTOWER3G Real-Time PCR System (Analytik Jena AG, Jena, Germany) using TB Green® Premix Ex Taq™ II reagent (TaKaRa, Dalian, China). The experiment was replicated three times. The rice OsActin gene (LOC_Os03g50885) was used as the internal control. Based on the preceding techniques, the relative expression levels of the target genes were calculated [50 (link)].

Differential expression of AS events was validated using RT-qPCR. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, USA). The cDNA was reverse transcribed using 2-6 μg of total RNA with the M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Promega, USA). RT-qPCR was performed on a qTOWER3 G real-time PCR system (Analytik Jena, Germany). The total reaction volume was 20 μL and consisted of 0.1 μM of each primer 10 μL of GoTaq® qPCR Master Mix (Promega, USA), and 20-100 ng of cDNA. The PCR reaction condition was as follows: 95 °C for 10 min, then 40 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s, and 60 °C for 1 min.
We chose a method similar to the PSI value calculation to quantify the expression of a specific AS event in GC and adjacent tissues. Two pairs of primers (Table S2) were used to amplify the AS isoforms and common transcripts. Data normalization with the reference GAPDH gene expression and the 2 -∆∆CT method was used to calculate the relative expression of each gene.

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.
