Rats were euthanized by CO2 gas. The liver was harvested and weighed, and then a representative section from the midline of the left lateral hepatic lobe was collected and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for histology. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections (5 μm) were examined by a board certified pathologist. Three samples (approximately 3–4 mm cubes) were dissected from the remaining left lateral hepatic lobe, and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until RNA extraction. RNA was extracted from frozen samples using the Invitrogen PureLink Mini kit (Invitrogen cat# 12183-018A, Carlsbad, CA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. RNA concentration and quality were measured on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). Samples were aliquoted and stored at −80°C until they were analyzed for gene expression studies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the expression of P2 receptor genes, total RNA was isolated from polarized PDEC with PureLink® mini kit (Invitrogen). First-strand cDNA of PDEC was synthesized using the High Capacity Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Dog brain cDNA (Cat. No. C1734035) was purchased from Amsbio (Cambridge, MA). cDNAs were then subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Primer-pair sequences for P2 receptor subtypes and the expected size of PCR products are described in Table 1. Real-time PCR was performed with a StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA) using PerfeCTa SYBR Green FastMix (Quanta Biosciences, Gaithersburg, MD) and the thermocycler conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Relative gene expression was calculated by the ΔΔCt method using GAPDH as an internal control. Melting curve analysis showed a single sharp peak with the expected melting temperature (Tm) for all samples.

Total RNA from SW1116-shAGO2#1 and SW1116-shCON cells was purified using an Invitrogen PureLink mini kit. Libraries were prepared using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit as described by the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000. Adapters and low-quality sequences were removed to obtain clean data by OAPnuke. The clean data were mapped to the human genome (hg38) using HISAT2 assembled by StringTie. Differentially expressed genes were calculated by the Ballgown package in R. Genes with RPKM (reads per kilobase per million mapped reads) values less than 1 in all samples were removed. Of the 17,007 genes identified in all samples, 245 (fold change ≥ 2 and p-value ≤ 0.001) genes were differentially expressed in SW1116-shAGO2#1 cell compared with their SW1116-shCON counterpart, which were listed in supplementary data.

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.
