Amplification and Genotyping of POU1F1 Gene

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The exon 6 and 3 flanking region of POU1F1 gene was amplified
using F: 5 -CCATCATCTCCCTTCTT-3 and R: 5 -AATGTACAATGTCCTTCTGAG-3)
primers (Lan et al., 2007b). The 25  µL PCR volume contained
100 ng genomic DNA, 0.5  µM of each primers, 1×  PCR
Buffer, 200  µM dNTP, 2 mM MgCl2 and 1 U of Taq DNA
polymerase (i-StarTaq DNA Polymerase, iNtRon Biotechnology). The
cycling protocol was 5 min at 95  C, 35 cycles of 94  C
for 30 s, 54  C annealing for 30 s, 72  C for 45 s with
a final extension at 72  C for 10 min.
PCR products of the POU1F1 gene were digested with 10 U of
AluI and PstI restriction enzymes (FD0014 and FD0614,
Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37  C for 3 h. PCR products and
restriction fragments were electrophoresed on a 2.5 % agarose gel stained
with SafeView Classic (Applied Biological
Materials Inc., Canada).
POU1F1 gene fragments which gave different genotypes were also
sequenced. The sequences of POU1F1 fragments were analyzed by using
the MEGA6 software (Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis, version 6.0;
Tamura et al., 2013) for generating sequence alignments.

Transposon Insertion-SCAR Genotyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Mu-TD protocol was performed following methods described in Ramekar et al. (2018) (link). The specific primer sequences used are shown in Table 1. Amplification products were visualized using the gel system on a LI-COR 4300 sequencer according to the manufacturer’s protocol (LI-COR Biotech, Lincoln, USA). Fluorescently-labeled DNA (50–700 bp; 50–700 sizing standard LI-COR) served as molecular weight markers. Polymorphic parental lines were used to genotype the RIL population using 34 transposon insertion-SCARs previously developed by Roy et al. (2017) (link). The PCR mixture (20 μl) contained 20 ng of template DNA, 10× PCR buffer, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, 0.5 μm of the forward and reverse primers, and 0.025 U of i-Star Taq DNA polymerase (Intron Biotechnology, Korea). DNA was amplified using the following protocol: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 5 min; then 20 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, then primer annealing at 56°C for 30 s, extension at 72°C for 1 min, and final extension at 72°C for 5 min to ensure complete extension of the PCR products. Amplicons were analyzed via gel electrophoresis with a 1.0% agarose gel. DNA fragments were visualized by ethidium bromide staining under UV light. Because both marker systems are dominant, they were manually scored as a binary response variable, with 1 (presence) and 0 (absence), respectively.

Epididymal Fat RNA Isolation and qPCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from the epididymal fat samples of the experimental mice using the RNAiso Plus reagent (Takara Bio Inc., Shiga, Japan) according to the manufacturer's instructions. cDNA was synthesized from 1 µg of the total RNA in a 20 µL reaction volume using a Maxime RT PreMix kit (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam, Korea) containing the OptiScript™ reverse transcriptase and i-StarTaq™ DNA polymerase, following the manufacturer's recommended protocol. The oligonucleotide primers are shown in Table 2. The PCR conditions consisted of an initial denaturation step at 95°C for 5 min, followed by 30 amplification cycles consisting of denaturation for 40 s at 95°C, annealing for 40 s (temperature 56–62°C), and extension for 1 min at 72°C. The PCR products were separated on an agarose gel (1.5%) by electrophoresis for 30 min at 100 V. The bands were visualized, and their relative intensities were analyzed using the ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Quantitative Analysis of Redrum Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from indicated tissues of wild type and Redrum KO mouse. Reverse transcription was carried out with 1 μg of RNA from each sample using QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (QIAGEN) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Standard PCR was performed on Gene-Amp PCR system2700 (Applied Biosystems) using i-StarTaq DNA polymerase (iNtRON Biotechnology). Real-time PCR for quantification was carried out using Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) and CFX96 Real Time PCR Detection System (BIO-RAD). The following oligonucleotide primers were used for conventional PCR and real-time PCR: Redrum: (forward) 5′-AGACTGCTTTCTCAAGTGGCTTA G-3′, (reverse) 5′-AGCCAATGAATAGTCACTGTAGGG-3′; GAPDH: (forward) 5′-CAAGAAGGTGGTGAAGCAGG-3′, (reverse) 5′-CCGTATTCATTGTCATACCAGG-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.
