Total RNA from 3-5 embryos at specific developmental ages was prepared using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) extraction method.21 First strand cDNA was made using the Superscript II RT-PCR (Invitrogen, 11904-018) protocol. Each RT-qPCR had a 10 µl final volume containing 0.5 µl of cDNA, 500 nM of each primer and 5 µl of Quantifast SYBR Green PCR Kit (Qiagen). RT-qPCR primers are listed in the Table. An Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 6 Real-Time PCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used for all experimental procedures. Gene expression was normalized relative to reference gene β-actin. Reactions were performed in three technical replicates, and all results made from three independent biological replicates. Fluorescence was measured after each cycle and a melt curve analysis conducted to verify the purity of samples. Equipment software automatically calculated baseline, threshold Cq, and fold changes.

Total RNA was separated from dissected tumor and non-tumor tissues, and three cell lines, using the TRIzol® reagent (Sangon Biotech Co., Ltd.), based on the manufacturer's protocols. RT was executed using 2 µg total RNA, 1 µl (200 units) RT-PCR SuperScript II (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 50 µM decamer at 37°C for 50 min. Specific primers targeting OIP5 were designed by Shanghai GeneChem Co., Ltd. as follows: 5′-TGGCATTGAAGGTTCACTCA-3′ (forward) and 5′-AGGGCAGCATGGGTAGAATA-3′ (reverse), with a product length of 189 bp.

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.
