The SPARKeasy Cell RNA Kit (Sparkjade, Qingdao, China) was utilized for the extraction of total RNA from the transfected cells. The same amount of total RNAs was reversed to cDNA according to the Reverse Transcription Kit manufacturer’s protocol (AG11705, Accurate Biology). Afterwards, RT-qPCR was conducted utilizing the QIAGEN Rotor-GeneQ (QIAGEN, Dusseldorf, Germany) with SYBR Green Pro. Tag. HS PremixⅡ (AG11702, Accurate Biology, Changsha, China). The thermocycling conditions were as follows: pre-denaturation at 95 °C for 30 s, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 5 s, and extension at 60 °C for 30 s. All experiments were repeated three times independently, and each sample underwent a melting curve analysis to verify the specificity of amplification. Table 1 presents the primer sequences. The expression of the target genes was normalized to GAPDH, and fold changes were calculated in the manner of the 2−ΔΔCT.

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.
