mRNA expression was analyzed with quantitative real-time RT-PCR as previously described [41 (link), 42 (link), 54 (link)]. Briefly, total RNA from the mouse aorta or heart was isolated (RNeasy Fibrous Tissue Mini Kit; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), and 50 ng of total RNA was used for real-time RT-PCR analysis with the QuantiTectTM Probe RT-PCR kit (Qiagen). TaqMan® Gene Expression assays for NADPH oxidase isoform 2 (NOX-2), endothelin-1b receptor (ETBR), endothelin-converting enzyme-1 (ECE-1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), CD11b, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and TATA box-binding protein (TBP) were purchased as probe and primer sets (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The comparative Ct method was used for relative mRNA quantification. Gene expression was normalized to the endogenous control (TBP mRNA), and the amount of target gene mRNA expression in each sample was expressed relative to that of control.

The total RNA from NP’s supernatant was extracted using QIAamp Viral RNA (Qiagen), according to manufacturer’s instructions. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed using QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit (Quiagen®) in a StepOne™ Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Amplifications were carried out in 25 μL reaction mixtures containing 2X reaction mix buffer, 50 μM of each primer, 10 μM of probe, and 5 μL of RNA template. Primers, probes, and cycling conditions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protocol were used to detect the SARS-CoV-2. Alternatively, genomic (ORF1) (gRNA) and subgenomic (ORF(sgRNAE)) were detected, as previously described (Wölfel et al., 2020 (link)). In summary, for detection of gRNA, the following primers and probe targeting for sequences downstream of the start codons of the gene E were used (E_Sarbeco_F; ACAGGTACGTTAATAGTTAATAGCGT / E_Sarbeco_R; ATATTGCAGCAGTACGCACACA / E_Sarbeco_P1; FAM-ACACTAGCCATCCTTACTGCGCTTCG-BBQ); and for sgRNA detection, a leader-specific forward primer (sgLeadSARSCoV2-F; CGATCTCTTGTAGATCTGTTCTC) was used with the reverse primer and probe for gene E above mentioned, and described in (Corman et al., 2020 (link); Wölfel et al., 2020 (link)).

Supernatants from monocytes were harvested after 24h of SARS-CoV-2 infection and the viral RNA quantified through RT-PCR. According to manufacter’s protocols, the total RNA from each sample was extracted using QIAamp Viral RNA (Qiagen®). Quantitative RT-PCR was performed using QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit (Quiagen®) in a StepOne™ Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Amplifications were carried out containing 2× reaction mix buffer, 50 μM of each primer, 10 μM of probe, and 5 μL of RNA template in 15 μL reaction mixtures. Primers, probes, and cycling conditions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) protocol were used to detect the SARS-CoV-2 [55 ]. For virus quantification it was employed the standard curve method [56 (link)]. Cells of each sample were counted before the PCR analyses for normalization. The Ct values for this target were compared to those obtained to different cell amounts, 107 to 102, for calibration.

Quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed according to established methodologies [13 (link)]. Briefly, we used the QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit (Qiagen) reagents and the CFX96 Real-Time System (Bio-Rad) where each 25 μL PCR reaction contained 12.5 μL 2X QuantiTect PCR mastermix, 1 μL of each 10 mM primer, 0.5 μL 0.2 mM probe, 0.5 μL reverse transcriptase, 3 μL RNA template and 6.5 μL H2O. Every PCR was performed as follows: reverse transcription at 50°C for 30 min, initial PCR activation at 95°C for 5 min and 45 amplification cycles consisting of a 95°C denaturation for 10 sec and a 60°C annealing/extension for 30 sec. Sequences of primers and probes are as follows; ZIKV-F: 5'- TGG TCA TGA TAC TGC TGA TTG C -3', ZIKV-R; 5'- CCT TCC ACA AAG TCC CTA TTG C -3', ZIKV-probe5'- /56-FAM/CGG CAT ACA GCA TCA GGT GCA TAG GAG /3BHQ_1/ -3', Vero (African green monkey) GAPDH-F:5′- GGG TGT GAA CCA TGA GAA GTA T-3′, GAPDH-R; 5′- GAG TCC TTC CAC GAT ACC AAA G-3′ and GAPDH-probe: 5'- /5HEX/AC AAC AGC CTC AAG ATC GTC AGC A/3BHQ_1/ -3'. The relative amount of viral transcript to GAPDH was calculated using the 2-ΔΔCT method. Data were expressed as fold change RNA compared to the control.

Nucleic acids were extracted from 200 μL serum by the Qiamp MinElute Virus Spin kit (QIAGEN). HEV RNA quantification was carried out by an in house Real-Time PCR method, using previously reported primers [16 (link)]. A 70 bp region of the ORF3 (position 5261–5330 on full length HEV genome sequence Acc.N. M73218) was amplified from 7 μL RNA extract (equivalent to RNA extracted from 35 μL serum). Amplification was carried out on the Rotor-Gene Q 5plex Platform (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) by the QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Data were analysed by the Rotor-Gene Q software, Version 2.1.0 (Build 9). The analytical sensitivity of the validated method is 35–40 IU/mL HEV RNA (95% detection limit).

An in-house SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR protocol and a commercial RT-PCR kit were used for method comparison. Since both assays work only with purified RNA, the above-mentioned RNA isolation procedure was mandatory prior to PCR testing.
The in-house PCR protocol was based on the QuantiTect Probe RT-PCR Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) with primers and a hydrolysis probe (Biomers, Ulm, Germany) targeting the E gene. Detection was done on the FAM channel of a LightCycler 96 instrument (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Primer sequences and the temperature profile are shown in the appendix (Supplementary Information1 ).
For comparison of the SARS-CoV-2 RT-LAMP protocol with a commercial kit, the LABSYSTEMS COVID-19 Real Time Multiplex RT-PCR Kit (Labsystems Diagnostics OY, Helsinki, Finland) was used. This kit is designed to detect three genes (ORF1ab, E, N) of the SARS-CoV-2 genome simultaneously. The RT-PCR reactions were set up according to the manufacturer’s protocol and were analysed on a Rotor-Gene Q instrument.

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.
