Total RNA, inclusive of the small RNA fraction, was prepared from homogenized tissues and cultured cells with Trizol reagent as recommended by the manufacturers (Invitrogen). For circ_0018289 and mRNA quantification, cDNA was randomly primed with ReverTra Ace RT Kit (Toyobo, Tokyo, Japan) in a 25-μL reaction containing 500 ng of extracted RNA. qRT-PCR with iQ SYBR Green (Bio-Rad, Munich, Germany) and amplification primers (shown in Supplementary Table 1) was done on a PCR machine (Rotorgene 6000, Qiagen) with the following conditions: after a denaturation time of 10 min at 95 °C, 40 cycles at 95 °C for 20 s and at 60 °C for 1 min. For miR-183-5p quantification, cDNA preparation and qRT-PCR were carried out as above, using miScript RT Kit and SYBR Green Kit (all from Qiagen), respectively. Fold changes in gene and miRNA expression were determined by the 2−ΔΔCt method, normalizing the results to normal controls and expression of β-actin or U6. ΔCt was calculated by subtracting the Ct values of β-actin or U6 from the Ct values of the gene of interest. ΔΔCt was then calculated by subtracting ΔCt value of the control from ΔCt of the sample.

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.
