RNA Extraction and qPCR Analysis

RNA was extracted from HCT116 cells using Thermo Fisher Scientific TRIzol and from liver tissue using Sigma TRI Reagent, both by following the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration and purity of RNA were determined by absorbance at 260/280 nm.
cDNA was prepared from 1 μg of RNA using RevertAid Reverse Transcriptase for HCT116 RNA and Superscipt III for liver RNA. Oligo dT primers were used in both cDNA synthesizing reactions.
HCT116 cDNA was analyzed on a Roche 480 Light Cycler System with PerfeCTa SYBR Green SuperMix while cDNA generated from liver was analyzed on an Applied Biosystems StepOne Plus instrument with Sybr Green PCR Master Mix. HCT116 cDNA qPCR reactions were normalized internally using GAPDH while liver cDNA qPCR reactions were normalized internally using actin. Primer sequences are available in Table S3.

Quantitative Analysis of Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA isolation was performed by using trizol reagent, and the RNA was reverse-transcribed into single-stranded cDNA by using different primers corresponding to mRNA or microRNA. The Roche 480 LightCycler® system with SYBR Green dye binding to PCR product was used to quantify target mRNA or miRNA accumulation via uorescence PCR using human β-actin or U6 as a reference. Human primers of the associated genes used for quantitative PCR in this study were listed in Table 1. For the ampli cation reaction in each well, a Cp value was observed in the exponential phase of ampli cation, and the quanti cation of relative expression levels was achieved using standard curves for both target and endogenous control samples. Relative transcript abundance of a gene is expressed as 2 -⊿⊿Cp values (⊿Ct = Cp target -Cp reference ).

The mRNA expression levels of AdipoR1 were detected in the two cell lines using RT-qPCR. Briefly, RT-qPCR was performed with SYBR Green (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) and the Light-Cycler Roche 480 system (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland), The thermocycling conditions for qPCR were as follows: Pre-denaturation at 95°C for 30 sec, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 5 sec and extension at 60°C for 30 sec. The 2−ΔΔCq method was used to calculate relative expression and quantify (12 (link),14 (link)). The primer sequences used were as follows: AdipoR1, forward 5′-GCAGGCACATTACACGGT-3′, reverse 5′-TCCAGTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTAGAGGTC-3′; GAPDH forward 5′-CTCATGACCACAGTCCATGCC-3′, reverse 5′-GGCATGGACTGTGGTCATGAG-3′; miR-6835-3p, forward 5′-GACCCTCTGTCTTTTCACGAAAA-3′, reverse 5′-TTTTCGTGAAAAGACAGAGGGTC-3′; and U6, forward 5′-CTCGCTTCGGCAGCACA-3′ and reverse 5′-TGTGCTGCCGAAGCGAG-3′.

Total RNA was extracted from cell lysates using RNeasy kit (Qiagen) and reverse transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA) using SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen). RT-PCR was performed with cDNA corresponding to 50 ng total RNA using the LightCycler® Roche 480 system (Roche) and the primers listed in Table 1 of 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.
