Frontal cortex samples were removed from − 80 °C and placed in RNAlater (Ambion) which had been chilled to − 20 °C before being placed at 4 °C and allowed to thaw for 24 h under gentle agitation to assist in the perfusion of RNAlater through the tissue during thawing. The tissue was then further dissected to provide a small representative sample of superior frontal gyrus for RNA extraction.
RNA was extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy Midi Kit as per manufacturer's instructions. Samples were quantified using a Nanodrop 3300 (ThermoScientific). cDNA synthesis was carried out on 400 ng of RNA using the Affinity Script multi temperature cDNA synthesis kit (Agilent Technologies Part Number 200436) as per manufacturer's instructions. cDNA samples were also quantified using a Nanodrop 3300 (ThermoScientific) prior to PCR.

DNA Methylation Profiling in ESCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA (gDNA) was purified using the standard phenol-chloroform method. The extracted gDNA was treated with RNAse (Roche) overnight at 37°C. Following another round of Phenol-Chloroform DNA extraction, gDNA was subjected to FspE1 (NEB, R0662S) digestion overnight at 37°C. The digested gDNA was purified by the Phenol-Chloroform method and quantified using the NanoDrop 3300 fluorospectrometer through PicoGreen dye according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Life Technologies, P11495). Quantitative PCR was performed using an equal amount of DNA for each sample. The change in DNA methylation is represented by relative fold change in the Cq value as follows: 2^(Cq(U)-Cq(I)), where Cq(U) is the Cq for the undifferentiated ESC sample, and Cq(I) represents day 3 or day 7 differentiated ESCs. The primers used for DNA methylation-dependent qPCR analysis have been previously described [30]. Standard deviations represent three technical and two biological replicates.
DNA Methylation-Dependent Restriction digest (MDR): Purified genomic DNA was subjected to methylation-sensitive restriction by Hpa II and methylation-insensitive restriction by Msp I overnight at 37°C. Samples were loaded on 0.8% Agarose gel in TAE buffer and bands visualized by Ethidium bromide staining. A smear in the Hpa II digestion lane indicates global loss of DNA methylation.

Quantification of Osteogenic Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was utilized to quantify the presence of specific gene markers indicative of osteogenesis. The genes of interest and their primer sequences are outlined in Table 3. At 5 weeks of culture, samples (n = 3) were removed from media and frozen at −80°C. Total RNA extraction was completed using a TRIzol-based assay. Each scaffold was dissolved in 300 μl TRIzol and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 30 seconds. TRIzol solutions were then transferred to new RNA-free microcentrifuge tubes and mixed with a half volume of isopropanol through manual pipette agitation before proceeding with the Zymo Research Microprep Kit instructions (Zymo Research, Direct-zol RNA Microprep Kit, R2062). Isolated RNA concentrations were then quantified (NanoDrop 3300) and reverse-transcribed into cDNA using Superscript IV VILO Mastermix Reverse Transcriptase (Life Technologies, 11756500).
qRT-PCR was performed using a final concentration of 0.4 ng/μl cDNA, 1 μM forward and reverse primers, and 1X PowerTrack SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Life Technologies, A46109). Melt curves were assessed on four samples to verify the suitability of each primer set. Relative gene expression was determined using the ΔΔCT method with GAPDH serving as the housekeeping gene and PCL scaffolds incubated in basal media as the reference control.

Extraction of total RNA from 100mg of powder was performed using the RNeasy Plant Mini kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). The concentration of total RNA isolated from berries was quantified with Nanodrop 3300 (ThermoScientific, Wilmington, USA). One µg of isolated RNA was used for reverse transcription using ImProm-IITM Reverse Transcription System (Promega) in a total volume of 20 µl. One µl of synthesized cDNA was amplified in triplicate by quantitative real time PCR using specific primers of SDH genes (Supplementary Table S1) and the Power SYBER-Green PCR Master-kit (Applied Biosystems, Applera France, Courtaboeuf, France). PCR was carried out with the 7 300 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) and analysed with 7 300 System SDS Software v 1.3.1.
To normalize VvSDH expression, Elongation factor 1α (EF1α) was used as the reference gene (Monteiro et al., 2013 (link)). Relative SDH expression was calculated from the cycle threshold (Ct) according to formula 2 exp-(CtSDH–CtEF1α).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As already described in Gazzola et al. (2022) (link), anaerobic digestate samples were collected at different sampling times to perform the analysis of microbial community composition over the reactor operation. A small aliquot (2 mL) was centrifuged at 15,000 rpm for 2 min, the resulting pellet was immediately stored at −20°C and used for DNA extraction with DNeasy PowerSoil Pro Kit (QIAGEN - Germantown, MD) following the manufacturer’s instructions. After checked the quality (1.6 < A260/280 < 1.8 and A260/230 > 2) with a Nanodrop 3,300 (Thermo Scientific, Italy), the genomic DNA was used for the high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. The V1-V3 region of bacterial 16S rRNA gene (27F 5′- AGA​GTT​TGA​TCC​TGG​CTC​AG-3; 534R 5-ATT​ACC​GCG​GCT​GCT​GG-3) was sequenced following library preparation and protocol described in Crognale et al. (2019) (link). The samples were paired end sequenced (2 × 301bp) on a MiSeq platform (Illumina) using a MiSeq Reagent kit v3, 600 cycles (Illumina, United States) following the standard guidelines for preparing and loading samples, with 20% of Phix control library. Bioinformatic analysis were performed using QIIME2 v. 2018.2 (Bolyen et al., 2019 (link)) as described in Crognale et al. (2021) (link). The Dataset is available through the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under accession PRJNA1052454.

Constructing Bacterial Mock Communities

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mock communities used in this study were reported previously (71 (link)). Briefly, 16S rRNA gene sequences from 33 bacterial strains, belonging to 27 different phyla, were used to construct the mock communities (Table S11; File S1) (71 (link)). Clones of near full-length 16S rRNA gene fragments were generated using PGEM-T Easy Vector II system (Promega, Inc., Madison, WI). The plasmid concentrations were quantified in triplicate using Quant-iT dsDNA assay kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) on a Nanodrop 3300 (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE). The sequences were divided into three clusters mostly (with a few exceptions) based on GC content within the V3–V5 region of the 16S rRNA genes and, considering the strain diversity at the phylum level, the GC content of V4 region: low (51.16% ± 2.1%), moderate (55.1% ± 1.8%), and high (59.3% ± 3.3%), with 11 in each cluster to assess whether overall community GC content of the target sequences causes biases. The sequences of the three clusters were then distributed into three mock communities in equal (3.03%) abundance in bacterial mock community 1 (Bm1) and in a combination of low (0.01%), moderate (0.67%), and high (8.41%) abundance in two different allotments (Bm2 and Bm3) (Table S11). All mock communities had a 16S rRNA gene concentration of 109 copies/µL.

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.
