After obtaining brain tissue from mice at different ICH time points (n=6), total RNA was extracted using a total RNA extraction kit (DP431, TIANGEN), and the concentration and purity were determined using a NanoVue Plus Micro-Volume UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The total RNA was then reverse transcribed into cDNA using a reverse transcription kit (FSQ-201, TOYOBO), and the concentration and purity of the cDNA were determined. Finally, 20μL of amplification reaction mix (QPS-201, TOYOBO) was prepared and the samples were introduced into an ABI StepOne Real-Time PCR system. The primer sequences are listed in Table 2. The ΔΔCT method was used to calculate the results. The data obtained were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Tukey multiple comparison was used to test for statistical significance between groups.

Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen, 15596026) was used to extract total RNAs. 2μg total RNAs were reversely transcribed into cDNAs using a reverse transcription kit (TOYOBO, FSQ-201). Then the cDNAs could then be used as a template for RT-qPCR utilizing the SYBR-Green Master PCR Mix (TOYOBO, QPK-201) and unique primers on a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Hprt served as the internal control. Table 1 contains the primers ultilized.

To quantify gene expression, each cultured cell line was harvested using the Trizol reagent (Qiagen 79306) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA was purified with chloroform and precipitated with isopropanol. Purified RNA was resuspended in DEPC water. RNA (600 ng) was incubated with 10 pmol random hexamer and a High Capacity cDNA reverse transcription kit (Toyobo FSQ-201) to achieve reverse transcription. RT-PCR was performed using primers listed in Supplementary Table S1, according to the protocol previously described (29 (link)). The expression ratio was calculated using the image J program with Gapdh as the internal reference gene. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was done using SYBR green (TaKaRa RR420A) and Light cycler 1.5 real-time PCR system (Roche). The relative mRNA expression levels were determined with the 2-ΔΔC(t) method. Errors were calculated from at least two independent experiments.

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.
