Total RNA was extracted using the Trizol method (Takara, Japan). RNA concentration and purity were determined by Colibri Microvolume Spectrometer (Titertek-Berthold, Germany). This was followed by reverse transcription of 1 μg total RNA. PrimeScript RT Reagent Kit were purchased from Takara (Shanghai, China). PCR amplification was conducted in 10 μl total volume consisting of 3 μl cDNA, 5 μl SYBR green mixture, 1.6 μl H2O, and 0.4 μl of primer mix (10 μM). Primers used for quantitative RT-PCR or for cloning are listed in Supporting Table 1. The amplification steps were 40 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 15 s, extension at 60 °C for 60 s, using the ABI ViiA 7Dx real-time PCR system (Life Technologies, NY, USA). Gene expression was normalized to 18S rRNA as internal control. For bulge-loop miRNA qRT-PCR, primer set specific for miR-942 was designed by RiboBio (Guangzhou, China). U6 small nucleolar RNA (RiboBio Co., Ltd) was used for miRNA normalization. qRT-PCR values were calculated by relative quantification using the delta-delta CT method.

Total RNA was extracted from the cells using TRIzol reagent (Takara, Kyoto, Japan). cDNA was synthesized and RT-qPCR reactions were performed in triplicate using the SYBR green kit (Takara) with a Bio-Rad iQ™5 system. microRNA assay was detected with stem-loop primers purchased from RiboBio. U6 small nucleolar RNA (Guangzhou RiboBio Co., LTD, Guangzhou, China) was used for the normalization. The primer sequences used for genes studied are listed in Table 1. The final relative expression fold differences, with gene expression NC as a control, were calculated as 2−ΔΔCt for each gene.

MicroRNA assay was detected with stem loop primers purchased from Ribobio (Guangzhou RiboBio, Guangzhou, China). U6 small nucleolar RNA (Guangzhou RiboBio) was used for the normalization. The sequence of rno-mir-182 was 5′-ACGCGGGUCUAGCUGCCGGAGGCCUCCCACCGUUUUUGGCAAUGGUAGAACUCACACCGGUA-3′. Rno-mir-182 mimics (Guangzhou RiboBio) were transfected to rat neonatal cardiomyocytes with Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen).

Sequences of miR-21-5p were collected from miRBase. miR-21-5p mimic, inhibitor (antagomir-21) and their corresponding negative control were all obtained from Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd.
U6 small nucleolar RNA (Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd.) was used as the endogenous control. Plasmids were amplified and purified using the HiSpeed Plasmid Midi Kit (cat. no. 12643; Qiagen, Inc.) and stored in ddH2O at 1 µg/µl before use. All plasmids were transfected into cells using Lipofectamine® LTX with Plus reagent (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.).

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.
