A serial dilution series of miR-21 between 10−8 and 10−14 M was prepared in TMD buffer. As we have described in detail elsewhere [7] , RT-qPCR was then carried out on these dilutions directly, or following extraction using a Qiagen® miRNA extraction kit. Aliquots from the 5 urine samples described above were processed using the Qiagen® miRNA extraction kit. Where appropriate extracts were frozen at −80 °C prior to analysis using standard RT-qPCR protocols (vide supra).

Temporal cortex tissues resected from 22 patients with refractory mTLE who had undergone anterior temporal lobectomy were collected. The 20 control samples of temporal neocortical tissues without abnormal pathological changes were obtained. None of patients in control group was ever diagnosed of epilepsy or seizures. Resected brain tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen for further studies.
For miRNA expression analysis, small RNAs from temporal cortex tissue from patients or controls were isolated using miRNA extraction kit (Qiagen) according to manufacture’s instruction. For detection of HIF-1α mRNA in brain tissue, RNA was extracted according to Trizol method (Invitrogen, USA).

Total RNA was extracted from cells and tissues using TRIzol® reagent (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the Primer-Script™ One Step RT-PCR kit (Takara Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Dalian, China). qPCR was subsequently performed using SYBR® Premix Ex Taq (Takara Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The following thermocycling conditions were used: 95°C for 5 min; 40 cycles of 95°C for 10 sec, 60°C for 20 sec and 72°C for 20 sec. Differences in the expression of Bcl-2-associated X (Bax), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), caspase-3 and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in the four groups were compared. The relative mRNA expression levels were quantified using the 2−ΔΔCq method (26 (link)) and normalized to the internal control GAPDH.
For the detection of miRNA, total RNA was isolated using the miRNA Extraction kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany). Total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the miRNA cDNA Synthesis kit (Qiagen GmbH). qPCR was subsequently performed using the SYBR® Green (Takara Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The experiment was performed as described above. U6 served as an internal control. The sequences of the primers utilized are listed in Table I.

Temporal cortex tissues resected from 32 patients with refractory mTLE who had undergone anterior temporal lobectomy were collected. The 18 control samples of temporal neocortical tissues without abnormal pathological changes were obtained from neurosurgery department of the same hospital. The control group included 5 head trauma and 13 cerebral hemorrhage cases. None of patients in control group was ever diagnosed of epilepsy or seizures. Resected brain tissues were immediately minced to small pieces and frozen in liquid nitrogen for further studies. For miRNA expression analysis, small RNAs from temporal cortex tissue from patients or controls were isolated using miRNA extraction kit (Qiagen) according to manufacture’s instruction. For detection of HIF-1α mRNA in brain tissue, RNA was extracted according to Trizol method (Invitrogen, USA).

Komagataella phaffii Small RNA Profiling

Wild type Komagataella phaffii strain NRRL Y-11430 was cultivated in 5 mL of rich defined medium (RDM)45 (link) with 4% glycerol by volume. Five identical cultures independently cultivated were used as biological replicates. Cultures were inoculated at OD600 = 0.1, and grown at 30°C for 24 hours until OD600 ≈ 16. Total RNA was extracted using the Qiagen miRNA extraction kit. RNA was converted to cDNA libraries using the New England Biolabs Small RNA Kit and sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq. Reads were aligned to the K. phaffii genome46 using Salmon.47 (link) Small RNAs were defined as continuous regions of >50 read depth. Expression of each small RNA was calculated using transcripts per million (tpm), normalized by sample.
To quantify edge resolution of each small RNA, we defined each edge of the RNA as the 20 bp upstream and downstream of the annotated boundary. Over this region, we calculated the change in read depth at each base pair. We defined edge resolution as the ratio of the maximum change in read depth to the maximum read depth.
Edgeresolution=maxΔreaddepthmaxreaddepth
The edge resolution score was then calculated as the mean of the 5’ and 3’ edge resolution for each small RNA. An edge resolution of 1 indicates that all paired end reads start and end at the same 5’ and 3’ base pairs.

Total RNA was isolated from 78 cases of ESCC tissues, 25 cases of non-tumor tissues, and ESCC cell lines transfected with miR-34a mimic, inhibitor, si-PLCE1, and their own blank vector using a miRNA Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Among the tissue samples, there were 25 paired ESCC tissues and their corresponding non-tumor tissues were selected randomly. Reverse transcription for the quantification of miRNAs was conducted via miRNA cDNA Synthesis Kit (Qiagen). The qPCR amplification of miR-34a was executed via SYBR green Premix Ex Taq II (Qiagen) using Step One Plus Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The expression level of miRNA was normalized using U6 as an internal control. The experiment was executed in ABI Prism 7500 Sequence Detection System. The reaction was carried out with an ABI Prism 7500 Sequence Detection System (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The expression level of miR-34a gene in all cases was calculated by 2−ΔCt method, ΔCt = Ct miR-34a - Ct U6. The difference of miR-34a expression in ESCC and corresponding normal tissues was represented by the RQ value, which was 2−ΔΔCt (ΔΔCt = ΔCt ESCC-ΔCt corresponding normal tissues), indicating the significant miR-34a gene expression of ESCC in tissues compared with adjacent normal tissue. Primers were used as follows:
MiR-34a: 5′-CCCAGAACATAGACACGCTGGA-3′
U6: 5′-TGGTGAAGACGCCAGTGGA-3′

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.
