RNA Extraction and qRT-PCR from Mouse Tissues

For RNA extraction from mouse tissue, freshly collected tissue samples were flash-frozen and transferred to RNAlater-ICE Frozen Tissue Transition Solution (Invitrogen). After soaking overnight at −20°C, the tissue samples were homogenized in vials containing 1.4 mm ceramic beads (Fisherbrand) and 400 µl RLT buffer (Qiagen) using a bead mill (Bead Ruptor 24, Biotage). 200 µl of the tissue homogenate was mixed with 1 ml of TRI Reagent (Invitrogen). For extraction of RNA from cultured cells, the cell pellet was directly resuspended in TRI Reagent. Total RNA extraction was performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The resulting RNA was treated with 2U DNaseI enzyme (NEB) for 30 min at 37°C, followed by acidic phenol extraction and isopropanol precipitation. To generate cDNA, about 200 ng of RNA was used in a reverse transcription reaction with SuperScript IV VILO Master Mix (Invitrogen). To measure the relative expression levels of mRNAs by RT-qPCR, FastStart Universal SYBR Green Master (ROX) from Roche was used together with gene-specific primers listed in Supplementary file 1. GAPDH/Gapdh was used as housekeeping gene.

Fecal calproctectin levels were determined by ELISA using the S100A9/Calprotectin Mouse kit. Briefly, stool was homogeneized in extraction buffer [0.1 M Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, 1.0 M urea, 10 mM CaCl2, 0.1 M citric acid monohydrate, 5 g/L BSA, pH 8.0] at 100 mg/mL and vortexed at maximum speed for 10 minutes. Diluted supernatants were used for ELISA according to manufacturer’s protocol. For multiplex cytokine assay, whole intestinal tissue was snap-frozen in liquid N2. Tissue was then thawed into 200µl Cell extraction buffer supplemented with cOmplete mini protease inhibitor tablets and 1mM PMSF. Tissues were homogenized in Soft Tissue homogenizing tubes with a Bead Ruptor 24 (Biotage) [Output: 6, On time: 30 sec, Off time: 5 sec, Cycles: 4]. After centrifugation to remove particulate debris, total protein was quantified using a Bradford assay (ThermoFisher, 23200). A custom ProcartaPlex 18-plex assay was carried out according to manufacturer instructions and read on a Luminex 200 (Luminex Corp) instrument. Standard curves were generated and values interpolated using R. Serum IgA concentrations were measured using SBA Clonotyping System-HRP per manufacturer instructions. IgE was quantified using biotinylated anti-IgE detection antibody (BD Pharmingen,553414) and streptavidin-conjugated HRP. ELISAs were read at OD 450 on a Synergy HTX instrument (BioTek).

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.
