Total RNA was isolated from primary microglia cells or mouse brain tissue in the fringe area of the infarct using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (TaKaRa), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After reverse transcription, quantitative real-time PCR was performed using primers specific for the genes encoding TREM2 and the inflammatory mediators IL-1β, IL-10, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and TNF-α. Fast thermal cycling was performed using a real-time PCR system (Roche LightCycler 480) under the following conditions: pre-denaturation at 95°C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15s, 57°C for 30s, and 72°C for 30s. Semi-quantitative PCR experiments were also performed using primers that specifically amplified the C-terminal region of the full-length transcript encoding TREM2. The results were expressed as the relative mRNA expression of the threshold cycle value, and were normalized by parallel amplification of the endogenous control GAPDH. The relative mRNA expression level in the control group (target mRNA/GAPDH value) was set to 100%, and the mRNA values in other groups were converted to fold changes after comparison with the control group.

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.
