Total RNA was prepared using the Universal RNA extraction kit (9767; TaKaRa Bio, Inc., Japan), and cDNA was generated using PrimeScript RT master mix reagent (RR036A; TaKaRa Bio, Inc., Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed using iTaq Universal SYBR green supermix (Bio-Rad Laboratories Shanghai, Ltd., Shanghai, China) to detect the mRNA expression levels of the indicated genes. The expression levels of the target genes were normalized by subtracting the corresponding GAPDH (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) threshold cycle (CT) value. The following primers were used: P4HB forward (5′-GGCTATCCCACCATCAAGTTC-3′) and reverse (5′-TCACGATGTCATCAGCCTCTC-3′) and GAPDH forward (5′-GGAGCGAGATCCCTCCAAAAT-3′) and reverse (5′-GGCTGTTGTCATACTTCTCATGG-3′).

Total RNA was extracted from tissues using a Universal RNA Extraction Kit (Takara Biotech, Dalian, China), and reverse transcription was performed to generate cDNAs using a PrimeScript RT Reagent Kit (Takara Biotech, Dalian, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Relative expression levels of APPV in tissues were determined by real-time quantitative PCR using a DNA Engine 7500 Continuous Fluorescence Detection System (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA) and a SYBR Premix Ex Taq Kit (Takara Biotech, Dalian, China). The specific qPCR primers used were E2-F (GCAGCCGATAAGACAGAG), E2-R (GATAGCCATACACCTTCCCT), β-actin-F (GGTGGGAATGGGTCAGAAGGA), and β-actin-R (TGGCTGGGGTGTTGAAGGTC). Relative expression levels of APPV in tissues were calculated by normalizing the levels of gene transcripts to that of β-actin using a relative standard curve method with the 2−ΔΔCt formula. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20.0, and the figures were made using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA). One-way analysis of variance and Student’s t-test were used to determine the statistical significance of differences in the relative expression levels of APPV in different tissues. Differences were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05.

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.
