qRT-PCR was carried out to validate the quality of RNA-Seq data. Total RNA was extracted as described above. Each RNA sample was treated with RNase-free DNase I (TaKaRa, Shiga, Japan) following the manufacturer's protocol to remove any residual genomic DNA. DNase I-treated RNA (2 mg) was subjected to reverse transcriptase using oligo (dT) primer and PrimeScriptTM Reverse Transcriptase (TaKaRa, Shiga, Japan) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Total RNA (2 μg) was used to synthesize cDNA with PrimeScript™ RT reagent Kit (Perfect Real Time, TaKaRa, Japan). The C. militaris housekeeping gene, glyceraldehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase (Cmgapdh), was used as an internal control for normalization. Primers for the qRT-PCR of 51 DEGs were designed with Premier 6.0 software and are shown in S1 Table. Three biological replicates were performed per sample.

On day 0 and day 6 of islet-like cell differentiation, cell aggregates were collected with TRIZol reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Total RNA was isolated by adding chloroform (Wako) with centrifugation of 15,000× g for 15 min. The 2-propanol (Wako) was added to collected supernatants and centrifuged at 15,000× g for 15 min to make a purified RNA pellet.

Vero cells were seeded on 35-mm dishes and infected with 1 MOI IBV when the cell monolayer was approximately 90% confluent. The infected cells were treated with MβCD or Mevastatin for 1 h at 4°C and harvested at certain time points [0, 8, 12, 18, and 24 h post-infection (hpi)]. Total RNA was extracted, and the cDNA template was synthesized with PrimeScriptTM Reverse Transcriptase (Takara, Dalian, China). The target gene was amplified by PCR with synthesized cDNA and specific primer pairs. The primers used for amplification are listed in Table 1. The amplification program was set at 94°C for 25 s, 56°C for 25 s, and 72°C for 20 s for 20 cycles. The sizes and specificity of the PCR products were verified by agarose gel electrophoresis. The relative expression levels were calculated by the 2-ΔΔCT method against the uninfected controls. GADPH gene was set as the endogenous control.

Total RNA was extracted using RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Genomic DNA (gDNA) was eliminated by digesting with RNase-free genomic DNA eraser buffer (Qiagen), and cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription of RNA using PrimeScriptTM reverse transcriptase (Takara). Power SYBR Green Master Mix (Takara) was used on a Roche 480 PCR system for qRT-PCR analysis. The qRT-PCR reactions were performed in triplicate for gene specific primers. The mRNA level was calculated by normalizing to the endogenous mRNA level of actin (internal control) using Microsoft Excel. Primer sequences are shown (Supplementary Table 1, Supporting Information).

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.
