Taqman low-density array (TLDA) was performed using TaqMan® Array Rodent MicroRNA A + B Cards Set v2.0 (Applied Biosystems) as previously described
[55 (link)]. Samples used were whole cell, cytoplasmic and nuclear RNA from LSK, promyelocytes, myelocytes and granulocytes. Briefly, reverse transcription reaction was performed using rodent Megaplex™ RT primers (Applied Biosystems), which contain a pool of 750 individual miRNA-specific primers, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was then carried out on an ABI 7900HT real-time PCR machine with the LDA thermal cycler block, using pre-defined TLDA thermal cycling conditions. RT-qPCR data were analyzed using SDS 2.3 and RQ Manager Software (Applied Biosystems). The whole cell and cytoplasmic miRNA CT values correlated with R2 values of 0.9126 (LSK), 0.9112 (promyelocyte), 0.9244 (myelocyte) and 0.9406 (granulocyte). Raw data were deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus database (accession number GSE57624).

Total RNA was extracted from lung tissues of the OVA anti-IgG1-NPs, and OVA-anti-IL4Rα-NPs groups of mice (n=6 per treatment) (RNeasy Mini kit, Qiagen, CA, USA). Real-time PCR amplification of the cDNA targets was performed using a Power SYBR Green PCR Kit (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA). Primers specific for each cDNA (Integrated DNA Technologies, Belgium) were used to determine the expression of IL-4, IL-5, TGF- β, IFN-γ, IL-13 Eotaxin-1, muc5ac, muc2, TGF-β, MCP-4 using the 7900HT fast real-time quantitative PCR system (Applied Biosystems). GAPDH was used as an internal control. The primer sequences are shown in Supplementary Table S1. The relative expression levels of all genes of interest were normalized to GAPDH and determined by the ΔΔCt method using the RQ Manager Software developed by Applied Biosystems.

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.
