RNA from cells and liver tissue. RNA was digested with DNase I (NEB) and
further purified with RNeasy Mini columns (QIAGEN). 0.5 μg of total
RNA was used for the reverse transcription reaction with Protoscript II
(NEB). Quantitative PCR was performed using SensiFAST™ Probes or
SensiFAST™ SYBR kit (BIOLINE) in a realplex4 thermocycler
(Eppendorf). The primer sequences and TaqMan (Thermo Fisher Scientific)
probes used for qPCR are shown in
ΔΔCT method was used to calculate abundance of
transcripts.
