Macrophage Inflammatory Response to V. vulnificus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The inflammatory response of macrophages was induced by 2MOI of V. vulnificus for 2 h and 4 h. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol (Omega Bio-Tek). The reverse transcription was performed with PrimeScript Reverse Transcriptase (RR037A, Takara Bio) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real-time qPCR was performed as previously described (Xie et al., 2012 (link)). The primers were shown in Supplementary Table 1. To determine the relative induction of cytokine mRNA in response to various stimuli, the mRNA expression was normalized with β-actin and then was calculated using 2-ΔΔCT method.

Quantitative Analysis of Plectin mRNA Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from the podocytes using TRIzol (Omega Bio‐Tek: Norcross, GA), and cDNA was synthesized using a First‐strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Fermentas, Burlington, Ontario, Canada). Real‐time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was performed in a 20 μL reaction mixture prepared with RealMaster Mix and SYBR Green (Tiangen, Beijing, China). The qPCR programme comprised the following steps: 95°C for 1 minutes followed by 35 cycles of 95°C for 5 seconds, 58°C for 15 seconds, and 68°C for 20 seconds. Each sample was analysed in triplicate, and GAPDH was used as an endogenous control. The following plectin primers were used in the study: forward: 5′‐GCACAAGCCCATGCTCATAGA‐3′ and reverse: 5′‐CAGGAGCCGTGTAACTCCC‐3′; amplicon size: 112 bp. The following GAPDH primers were used in the study: forward: 5′‐GACAACTTTGGCATCGTGGA‐3′ and reverse: 5′‐ATGCAGGGATGATGTTCTGG‐3′; amplicon size 135 bp.

Gene Expression Analysis by RT-PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from cells at indicated time points using Trizol (Omega Bio-tek, Shenzhen, China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and then reverse transcribed into cDNA with M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA). The cDNA was analyzed by RT-PCR using rTaq DNA polymerase (Takara, Tokyo, Japan). Amplicons from the RT-PCR reactions were separated on a 1.5% agarose gel, which was stained with nucleic acid stain I (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany), photographed, and analyzed using the Gene Tools Analysis Software (Syngene, Cambridge, UK). The cDNA was performed by qRT-PCR using a LightCycler 96 instrument (Roche). The qRT-PCR data were presented as normalized ratios, which were calculated using ΔΔCT method by LightCycler system and software (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The human glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as an internal standard. The primer sequences are listed in Table 1.

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.
