For evaluating
the expression of chondrogenic marker genes, RNA was isolated from
the retrieved cartilage tissue using an RNA isolation kit (Takara).
Isolated RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA by a reverse transcription
master mix (iNtRON). RT-PCR and real-time PCR analyses were performed
to confirm the expression of chondrogenic marker genes. For RT-PCR
analysis, COL2 expression was evaluated by comparing it with the expression
of a housekeeping gene (GAPDH) using conventional agarose gel electrophoresis.
The primer sequences were as follows: GAPDH, 5′-TCACCATCTTCCAGGAGCGA-3′,
and 5′-CACAATGCCGAAGTGGTCGT-3′; COL2, 5′-CAATCCTGGTGAACCTGGCG-3′, and 5′-TTTCCCCAGACTTTCCGGGC-3′.
Moreover, mRNA expression was quantified using a SYBR Green PCR
kit in an ABI PRISM 7500 real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems).
Gene expression was determined by comparing it with the expression
of a housekeeping gene (β-actin). The primer sequences for real-time
PCR were as follows: β-actin, 5′-CCCTGAACCCTAAGGCCAAC-3′,
and 5′-GCATACAGGGACAGCACAGC-3′; COL2, 5′-CACACTGGTAAGTGGGGCAAGACCG-3′, and 5-GGATTGTGTTGTTTCAGGGTTCGGG-3′.

Parental and stably transfected cells were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). RNA was extracted using TRIzol® reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The RNA samples were dried and eluted in 10–30 µL of diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC)-treated water (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All preparative and handling procedures were performed under RNase-free conditions. The RNA concentration was measured using a Nanodrop™ 2000/2000c spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and the total RNA samples were stored at −70 °C.
cDNA was synthesized using reverse transcription master mix (TaKaRa, Koyto, Japan; RR036A). PCR cycle, consisting of 37 °C for 15 min and 85 °C for 5 s, was performed using an Applied Biosystems Veriti® 96-Well Thermal Cycler (Thermo Fisher Scientific). SsoAdvanced™ Universal SYBR® Green Supermix (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) was used for RT-PCR, and the level of RAD51 was compared following treatment with various drugs. GAPDH served as a control. PCR cycles consisted of 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 10 s and 60 °C for 30 s and were performed using a CFX96 Touch Real-Time PCR System (Bio-Rad). Following primers were used to qRT-PCR: GAPDH, Forward—CGACCACTTTGTCAAGCTCA; Reverse—AGGGGAGATTCAGTGTGGTG and RAD51, Forward—AGCTTTCAGCCAGGCAAAT; Reverse—GCTTCAGCTTCAGGAAGACA.

Total RNA was extracted from mouse brains and cells using TRIzol reagent (Sigma Aldrich, USA). The RNA concentration was quantified using spectrophotometry (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). Reverse Transcription Master Mix (Takara, Tokyo, Japan) was used to synthesize cDNA by reverse transcription at 42 ℃ for 15 min followed by a denaturation step at 85 ℃ for 5 s. mRNA expression was analyzed using SYBR Premix Ex Taq TM II (Takara, Tokyo, Japan) and synthetic primers on a thermocycler (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California, USA). Relative mRNA expression levels were calculated and quantified with the 2 -ΔΔCt method after normalization to reference GAPDH expression [44] . The primers used for quantitative real-time PCR in this study are listed in Table 1.

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.
