Transduction efficiency was estimated based on previous reports [80 (link),81 (link)]. After the sleep phenotyping, the brain hemisphere except for the olfactory bulb and cerebellum was collected from the AAV-administrated mouse. Brain DNA was purified using an Agencourt DNAdvance (Beckman Coulter, USA). The copy numbers of both the AAV vector genomes and mouse genomic DNA were quantified with a standard curve generated from known amounts of DNA. Vector genomes per cell were calculated by dividing the copy number of AAV vector genomes by diploid copies of the Tbp gene in the sample. The copy number of the AAV vector genomes and the Tbp gene were determined with WPRE-binding primers (5′-CTGTTGGGCACTGACAATTC-3′, 5′-GAAGGGACGTAGCAGAAGGA-3′) and Tbp-binding primers (5′-CCCCCTCTGCACTGAAATCA-3′; 5′-GTAGCAGCACAGAGCAAGCAA-3′) [70 (link)], respectively. The qPCR protocol was 60 s at 95 °C for preheating (initial denaturation) and 45 cycles from 10 s at 95 °C to 30 s at 60 °C using a TB Green Premix Ex Taq GC (Takara Bio, Japan).

To determine miR-1 expression levels, total miRNA was extracted from cells using the miRcute miRNA extraction and isolation kit. Reverse transcription was performed using an miRNA first-strand cDNA synthesis kit (cervical-loop method). To determine Bax and Bcl-2 mRNA levels, total RNA extracted from the cardiomyocytes was reverse transcribed into cDNA. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using TB Green Premix Ex Taq GC (TaKaRa, Dalian, China). Samples were analyzed in triplicate and GAPDH (or U6) was used as the internal reference gene. The products were predenatured at 95°C for 30 s, denatured at 95°C for 5 s, annealed at 60°C for 30 s, and amplified for 36 cycles. After the reaction, Ct values were obtained determined using the 7500 software program. Data were exported for statistical analysis, and the 2−△△Ct method was used for calculations. Primers that were used are shown in Table 1.

Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol® Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and the RNA quality and quantity were measured using a NanoDrop2000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized from the total RNA using the Prime Script RT Reagent Kit (RR036A; Takara Biotechnology Co., LTD., Shiga, Japan). Primers for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 6 (Traf6), myeloid differentiation factor88 (MyD88), TNF, interleukin (IL)1B, Keap1, Nfe2l2/Nrf2, heme oxygenase (Hmox/HO)-1, NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), Sqstm1/P62, and β-actin were designed using the Get Prime software (https://gecftools.epfl.ch/getprime). Real-time Quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was conducted using TB Green™ Premix Ex Taq™ GC (RR820A; Takara, Shiga, Japan) on a Light Cycler® 96 System (Roche Life Science, Penzberg, Germany). Relative quantification of gene expression was performed based on the comparative CT (2–ΔΔCt) method. The mRNA expression levels of target genes were normalized to that of the β-actin internal standard. Data were presented as fold changes over the controls, which were shown as 1. The sequences of primers used for RT-qPCR are shown in Table S1.
