In order to clarify the expression level of tiRNA-Gly-GCC-1 and TLR4, SYBR-based RT-qPCR was conducted in tissues and cell lines. In brief, total RNA was collected from 6-well plates (3 wells per group) and 6 pairs of tissues (tumor and paracancerous tissues) using Trizol. After RNAs’ concentration and purity and integrity were verified by NanoDrop ND-1000 and gel electrophoresis, RNA pre-treatments including 3’ terminal deacetylation and demethylation were performed for tiRNA-Gly-GCC-1 using the rtStar™ tRF&tiRNA Pretreatment Kit (Cat# AS-FS-005, Arraystar). Next, complementary DNA (cDNA) was synthesized using the rtStar™ First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (3′ and 5′ adaptors) (Cat# AS-FS-003, Arraystar). qRT-PCR was performed in the QuantStudio™ 5 Real-time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) with a 2× PCR master mix (AS-MR-006-5). All indicators were carried out according to the following procedure: 95 °C denaturation (10 min), 95 °C (10 s), and 60 °C (60 s), followed by 40 cycles. After the amplification reaction, the melting curve procedure was performed. The 2−ΔΔCT method was used. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used for the endogenous control gene. All reactions were performed in triplicate.

To verify treatment-induced changes in tsRNAs via RNA-seq, all tsRNAs were selected, and their expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR. First, total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the rtStar First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (3′ and 5′ adaptors; Arraystar) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Then, qRT-PCR amplification was performed using a Quant-Studio 5 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) and 2 × PCR master mix (Arraystar). The amplification conditions were as follows: incubation at 95°C for 10 min and then 40 cycles of 95°C for 10 s, 60°C for 60 s, and 95°C for 15 s. The relative tsRNA expression level was calculated using the 2–ΔΔCt method and was normalized to U6 as a housekeeping gene. Specific primers for each gene are listed in Supplementary Table S1. All reactions were performed in triplicate.
In addition, target mRNAs for the treatment of related tsRNAs were also verified by qRT-PCR. One target per tsRNA was randomly selected. GAPDH was used as an internal control to normalize the 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.
