qRT-PCR was used to detect the RNA expression of METTL14 and miR-1306-5p. All the RNA was collected from blood, cell, or tissue samples using the miRNeasy extraction kit (QIAGEN). For quantitative analysis, the cDNA was reversed by miRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (MR101-01/02, Vazyme) and detected by all-in-one miRNA RT-qPCR Detection Kit (Q711-02, Vazyme) with U6 as the internal control. As for METTL14 mRNA detection, TRIzol (BS259A, Biosharp) was used for RNA isolation and PrimeScript RT Reagent kit (R223-01, Vazyme) was used to reverse RNA into cDNA.

Total RNA was extracted from LoVo and SW480 cells using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, USA) and miRNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen; Germantown, MD) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Single-stranded cDNA was synthesized with QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed in 35 cycles using SYBR Green PCR Master mix (Takara Bio, Inc., Shiga, Japan). Each cycle consisted of 30 seconds at 94°C, 30 seconds at 60°C and 30 seconds at 72°C. TaqMan Universal PCR Master mix (all from Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) was used for the quantification of the miR-125a-5p. RT-qPCR was performed with the Bio-Rad CFX96 real-time PCR system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). GAPDH and U6 were used as the internal control. The primer sequences used were as follows: miR-125a-5p forward, 5ʹ-GGTCATTCCCTGAGACCCTTTAAC-3ʹ; reverse, 5ʹ-GTGCAGGGTCCGAGGT-3ʹ. TAZ forward, 5ʹ-ACCCACCCACGATGACCCCA-3ʹ; revere, 5ʹ-GCACCCTAACCCCAGGCCAC-3ʹ; GAPDH, forward, 5ʹ-GGAGCCAAAAGGGTCATCAT-3ʹ; revere, 5ʹ-GTGATGGCATGGACTGTGGT-3ʹ. U6, forward, 5ʹ-CTCGCTTCGGCAGCACA-3ʹ; 5ʹ-AACGCTTCACGAATTTGCGT-3ʹ. The qRT-PCR experiments were performed in 3 independent experiments, each of which used 3 independent samples. 2−∆∆Ct method was used to calculate the relative expression of each gene.

RNA with microRNAs was extracted from 200 μl serum using the miRNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA), 1,000 μl QIAzol lysis reagent, and 5 min at room temperature. Chloroform (200 μl) was applied, vortexed for 15 s, and then incubated at room temperature for 2–3 min. After that, centrifugation at 12,000×g for 15 min at 4°C was performed. The upper watery phase was isolated and 1.5 times its volume was applied to ethanol (100%). Then 700 μl of this mixture was centrifuged (8,000×g) at RT for 15 s in an RNeasy Mini spin column in a collection tube (2 ml). After the mixture had passed through the column full, 700 μl of RWT buffer was applied to each column and centrifuged again (at 8,000×g; at RT) for 15 s. The column was loaded with 500 μl of buffer RPE (centrifuged; 8,000×g; RT; 15 s). The column was moved to a new 1.5-ml collection tube and 50 μl RNase-free water was applied to the column before centrifuging for 1 min at 8,000×g to elute RNA.

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.
