Gene Expression Analysis by qRT-PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted using the TRNzol reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The purity and the concentration of RNA were measured by a spectrophotometer. Total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the reverse transcription reagent (Invitrogen Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. qRT-PCR was performed to determine gene expression of target genes using SYBR Green Real-time PCR Kit (Shanghai Solarbio Co., China). The qRT-PCR was performed by initial denaturation at 95 ºC for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95 ºC for 7 s, annealing at 60 ºC for 20 s, and annealing at 72°C for 38 s. RT-PCR primers are: RUNX3-F: 5ʹ-TGGCAGGCAATGACGA-3 ‘, RUNX3-R: 5ʹ-TGGTTCGGCAAGGGAC-3ʹ; DMNT3b-F: 5ʹ-TCTGGAAAACCTTCCTGCTG-3 ‘, DMNT3b-R: 5ʹ-CCGGCACATAGGTAAA AGGA-3 ‘; G-AGAAGGCTGGGGCTCATTTG-3ʹ, GAPDH-R:5ʹ-AGGGGCCATCCACAGTCTTC-3 ‘. The 2−ΔΔCT method was used to determine relative gene expression, which was normalized to the amount of GAPDH mRNA. All experiments were performed at least in triplicate for each gene. Data are expressed as the mean ± S.E.M.

HBV core DNA were obtained as described [30] (link). HBV genome DNA in mouse serum and liver were extracted by using Biospin Virus DNA Extraction Kit and Biospin Tissue Genomic DNA Extraction Kit, respectively. Absolute real-time PCR were quantified by FastStart Universal SYBR Green Master Mix (Roche) (Bio-Rad, CFX Connect Real-time System), the efficiency was 95–105%, r2 > 99%. (the LOD = 40, LOQ = 1.0 × 102)
Total RNA both cells and tissue were extracted using TRNzol Reagent (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. First-strand cDNA was synthesized from 1μg of RNA using the iScriptTM cDNA Synthesis kit (Bio-Rad). Relative RNA expression levels were quantified by FastStart Universal SYBR Green Master Mix (Roche) and β-actin mRNA was used as an internal control. Values were analyzed using the 2-△△Ct method.

Total RNA from whole-cell lysates or the nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were isolated using TRNzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlabad, CA, USA) for cultured cells or using the GeneJET RNA Purification Kit (Invitrogen, Carlabad, CA, USA) for fresh-frozen tissues. For RNase R treatment, 2 μg of total RNA was incubated for 20 min at 37 °C with or without 3 U/μg of RNase R (Epicentre Technologies, Madison, WI) in 1× RNase R reaction buffer, and the resulting RNA was purified using RNeasy MinElute cleaning Kit (Qiagen, Duesseldorf, Germany); this was transcribed into cDNA (Vazyme Biotech, Nanjing, China). Real-time PCR was performed in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol, using the 2× SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix (Selleck, Shanghai, China). Before calculation using the 2−ΔΔCt method, the GAPDH levels were used to normalize the relative expression levels of circRNA and linear mRNA, and the levels of small nuclear U6 were used to normalize the miRNA expression level. Primers used are as follows:
ASXL1: F: TCAGAGCAATGTTACAGGCCA, R: CTGTTCTCGGCATTTGCCTT;

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.
