Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA of PC-12 cells treated was purified using TRIZOL (Sigma, USA), and the reaction was performed with the commercial kit KAPA SYBR FAST qPCR (KapaBiosystems, USA) and the equipment for Stratagene MX3000P (ThermoFisher, USA) real-time PCR. The qPCR was performed using RNA as a template, and the primers were ordered from Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, USA): BcL-2 (Forward: GATGACTGAGTA CCTGAACCG, Reverse: CAGAGACAGCCAGGAGAAATC) and β-actin (Forward: CACTTTCTACAATGAGCTGCG, Reverse: CTGGATGGCTACGTACATGG). The comparative threshold cycle values were normalized for the β-actin reference gene and the results were expressed as CT relative quantification by the 2-ΔΔCT method.

Total RNA was isolated from mouse epithelial crypt cells or cultured cell lines with Tri-Reagent (Molecular Research Center, Cincinnati, OH) according to manufacturer’s instructions. After rDNase digestion (Macherey-Nagel, Hoerdt, France), RNA integrity was checked by gel electrophoresis. Reverse transcription (RT) was performed with 1 μg of RNA using Roche reagents (Roche Diagnostics). Real-time PCR was conducted with cDNA and both the sense and antisense oligonucleotides in a volume of 10 μl of SYBR green PCR mix (Agilent, Massy, France) and monitored and assessed in a Stratagene Mx3000P (Thermo Fisher Scientific) system. Values were normalized to L19 or 18S for human cells or to cyclophilin expression for mouse cells. Primer sequences are given in Supplemental Table S3.

MTNR1A Genotyping Protocol for Whole Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples using GeneJET whole blood Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. DNA's purity and concentration were measured using Nanodrop 2000/2000c spectrophotometer (Thermoscientific, USA).
Genotyping for MTNR1A polymorphism (rs13140012) was performed using the 5'nuclease allelic discrimination assay. The PCR reaction mix included 10 μLTaqMan® Universal PCR Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), 1 μL of TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assay 20x (Assay ID: C__31861431_10), 20 ng DNA/reaction and DNAase free water to a final volume of 20 μL. Thermal cycling was done using Stratagene Mx3000P (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) as follows; 95 °C for 10 min for initial AmpliTaq Gold enzyme activation and 45 cycles of denaturation for 15 s at 95 °C and annealing/extension for 1 min at 60 °C. No template control (NTC) containing nuclease-free water was included in each run as a negative control. The fluorescence profile of each well was detected at the end of each cycle, and a graphic presentation of the fluorescence against the number of cycles was plotted. Data processing was performed using Stratagene Mx3000PTM Software (MX.PRO software).

The expression levels of mRNAs and lncRNAs were validated by RT-qPCR. Total RNA was extracted from the keloid tissue and adjacent normal skin tissues of other five randomly selected keloid patients using EZ-press RNA Purification Kit (EZBioscience, USA). A 4×Reverse Transcription Master Mix (EZBioscience) was used for reverse transcription reaction at 42°C for 15 min, 95°C for 3 min. The 2×SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix (EZBioscience) was used to perform qPCR as follows: initial denaturation at 95°C for 5 min, followed by 40 amplification cycles (10s at 95°C for denaturation, and 30s at 60°C for annealing and extension) using a Strata Gene Mx3000p (Applied Biosystems). Each interested gene was normalized to the housekeeping gene GAPDH and the fold change was compared relatively to that of the control sample. qPCR assay was performed in triplicate and repeated at least three times.

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.
