Real-Time PCR Gene Expression Analysis

Total RNA isolation and reverse transcription with oligo(dT) (18418–012, Invitrogen) were performed as described previously [14 (link)]. The amounts of individual genes were measured with gene-specific primers by real-time PCR analysis with a iCycler iQ real-time PCR Instrument (Bio-Rad) and SYBR Green mixture (Bio-Rad). The relative expression or amount of specific genes was quantitated with the 2-ΔΔCt calculation [15 (link)], according to the manufacturer’s software (Bio-Rad), where the reference gene was ubiquitin. Primers used in real-time RT-PCR are in Additional file 1.

Real-Time PCR Analysis of Hexose Transporters

Real-time PCR on the expression of HXT1-17 and GAL2 was performed with the primers indicated in Additional file 1: Table S3, using the SensiMix SYBR & Fluorescein Kit (Quantace Ltd.) and the iCycler iQ Real-Time PCR instrument (Bio-Rad). Actin was used as a reference gene to normalize fold changes. The SYBR Green Master Mix (12.5 μl) was used for 25 μl reactions containing 4 μl of the extracted total RNA (10 ng/μl), 1 μl of the indicated primers (10 nM), and 6.5 μl of sterile water. The PCR conditions for HXT1-17 and GAL2 were 10 min at 95°C followed by 40 cycles of amplification (15 s at 95°C, 30 s at 58°C, 30 s at 72°C).

Quantitative Real-Time PCR Analysis of Lymphatic Vessels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following dissection and incubation procedures similar to those described above, lymphatic vessels were placed in RNA-later (Thermo Fisher Sientific) for 24 h, homogenized using a QIAshredder (Qiagen, Mississauga, ON, Canada) and RNA extracted using the Qiagen Micro RNeasy Kit. The extracted RNA was used to synthesize cDNA with SuperscriptⅡReverse Transcriptase enzyme and oligo (dT) primers (both from Thermo Fisher Sientific) and the target genes (β-actin, eNOS, iNOS, COX-1, COX-2, TNF-α and TNFR1) were amplified by using QuantiTect Syber Green (Qiagen) in an iCycler iQ Real-Time PCR Instrument (Bio-Rad, Mississauga, ON, Canada). The sequences of all primers were determined according to the NCBI published rat sequences and forward and reverse primers were designed using Primer3 Software [39 (link),66 (link)] (see Table 1). PCR results were quantified using the ΔΔCT method [81 (link)], and mRNA expression of the target genes was normalized to that of β-actin.

cDNA was synthesized using Superscript III Reverse Transcriptase (Sigma) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. qPCR was performed in 96-well plates using iQ™ SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad) and an I-cycler iQ Real-Time PCR instrument (Bio-Rad). Measurements were performed in triplicate with a variability <0.5 Ct. mRNA expression was analysed by normalizing to that of the housekeeping gene GADPH. Primers were designed with PERL primer software using NCBI EntrezGene reference sequences as templates and synthesized by Sigma. The primers used are listed in Supplementary Table S4.

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.
