Then, 400
μl lysis buffer, three grinding beads, and 50 mg hepatic tissue were mixed in a grinding tube and subsequently broken with a homogenizer (5000 rpm, 20 seconds). The tube was then centrifuged (12000 rpm, 5 min, 4°C), and 300
μl of supernatant was placed in a new 1.5 ml RNase-free tube. Next, RNA was extracted using a
Universal RNA Extraction kit. The reverse transcriptase reaction was performed for 15 min at 37°C and 5 seconds at 85°C. Finally, a 10
μl PCR mix was applied, including 2
μl cDNA, 5
μl 2× TB green, 0.4
μl forward primer (10
μm), 0.4
μl reverse primer (10
μm), and 2.2
μl ddH
2O.
The
Universal RNA Extraction kit (cat: 9767; lot: AJ82351A),
reverse transcription (RT) kit (cat: RRO36A; lot: A140832A), and
RNA amplification kit (cat: RR820A; lot: A140778A) were purchased from Takara.
We designed primer sequences according to the mRNA sequences obtained from the NCBI database (
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and PrimerBank (
https://pga.mgh.harvard.edu/primerbank/), synthesized by Sangon Biotech, as shown in
Table 1.
