The cells were grown in 6-well dishes at a starting density of 1 × 105 cells/well until a confluence of 85% in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS; then, the media were replaced with DMEM 0.5% FBS for 6 h before transfection. Afterwards, synoviocytes were transfected with specific inhibitors of miR-34a, miR-146a, and miR-181a (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), at the concentration of 50 nM, or with their relative negative controls siRNA (NC) (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), at the concentration of 5 nM, in serum-free medium for a period of 24 h. Supernatants were removed and synoviocytes immediately harvested or incubated with visfatin (5 and 10 μg/mL) or resistin (50 and 100 ng/mL) for additional 24 h.

Quantitative Profiling of miRNA and mRNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An miScript Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen) was used to reverse transcribe RNA. PCR was carried out with an miScript SYBR green PCR kit (Qiagen) for miRNA, and PowerUp SYBR Green Master Mix (ThermoFisher Scientific) for mRNA. PCR products were detected with a QuantStudio 5 Real-Time PCR System (ThermoFisher Scientific). All reactions were repeated in triplicate. miRNA primers, miR-181a, miR-181b, miR-181c, and miR-181d were purchased from Qiagen. β-Actin (Fwd: GGGCTGTATTCCCCTCCATCG and Rev: CCAGTTGGTAACAATGCCATG) was used to normalize the MICU1 (Fwd: AACAGCAAGAAGCCTGACAC and Rev: CTCATTGGGCGTTATGGAG) expression.

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.
