Total RNA was isolated from untreated Arabidopsis plants and from plants 24 to 72 h posttreatment with 108P. aphidis spores/mL using a Qiagen RNeasy kit (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions or using the LogSpin method (84 (link)). DNase treatment was performed on Qiagen columns according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Invitrogen). Total RNA (1 μg) was reverse-transcribed with an EZ-First strand cDNA synthesis kit (Biological Industries, Israel). qRT-PCR was performed with SYBR master mix and a StepOne real-time PCR machine (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The thermal cycling program was as follows: 95°C for 20 sec, 40 cycles of 95°C for 3 sec, and 60°C for 30 sec. Relative fold changes in gene expression normalized to AtEF1α levels in samples from treated versus untreated leaves were calculated by the 2−ΔΔCt method. The primer sequences used were AtPTB1F′ GATCTGAATGTTAAGGCTTTTAGCG, AtPTB1R′ GGCTTAGATCAGGAAGTGTATAGTCTCTG, WRKY11FCCACCGTCTAGTGTAACACTCGAT, WRKY11RTGCAACGGAGCAGAAGCAAGGAA, MYB51FACAAATGGTCTGCTATAGCT, MYB51RCTTGTGTGTAACTGGATCAA, AT5G25260F′ TCGTGTTCTCGCTGCTTCCA, AT5G25260R′ GGCACGTCAACGAGCTGTTT, PEN2F′ TAACATGCTTCTAGCGCACGCAG, PEN2R′ CATCTGGATCACTCGGATCATATG.

Total RNA was isolated and reverse transcribed using random hexamer primers, employing the EZ-RNA total RNA isolation kit (20-400-100) and EZ-First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (20-800-50) (Biological Industries) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Transcribed cDNA was then amplified using TaqMan gene expression assays (Hs00172113 for VDR, and Hs9999902_m1 for the endogenous control gene, ribosomal protein large p-Zero, RPLP0) (Applied Biosystems, Forster City, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions by means of the Applied Biosystems Prism 7000 Sequence Detector.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were incubated with dPG-NH2, miR-34a and dPG-NH2–miR-34a for 4 h at 37 °C. Lipopolysacharides (Sigma) were used as positive control (1 μg/mL), PBS as negative control. Upon incubation, RNA was isolated from cell pellets and reverse transcribed using EZ-RNA II isolation kit and EZ-first strand cDNA synthesis kit (Biological industries). TNF-α and IL-6 levels were assessed by SYBR green based real-time PCR and normalized to GAPDH (primers in Supplementary Material).

RNA extraction and quantitative real-time (qRT-) PCR. Total RNA was extracted from leaves using Tri-Reagent (Molecular Research Center, cat. #: TR 118) and treated with RNase-free DNase (Thermo Scientific™, cat. #: EN0525). Complementary DNA 9 (cDNA) was prepared using the EZ-First Strand cDNA synthesis kit (Biological Industries cat. #: 2080050) according to the manufacturer's instructions. qRT-PCR was performed using C1000 Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad), in the presence of EvaGreen (BIO-RAD cat.# 172-5204) and PCR primers to amplify specific regions of the genome (Haruta et al., 2010; suppl. Table S1). The results were analyzed using Bio Rad CFX manager™ software. Dissociation curve analysis was performed at the end of each qRT-PCR reaction to validate the presence of a single reaction product and lack of primer dimerization. Expression levels of examined genes were normalized using two normalizing genes (AT5G12240 and AT2G07734, Wigoda et al., 2017) .

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.
