The relative expression of several genes codifying for T4SS virB, its effector proteins and transcription factors involved in the virulence and intracellular survival of B. abortus Δ270 was evaluated in infected macrophages by the 2−ΔΔCT method. For this, 1 × 106 RAW264.7 macrophages/well were infected at MOI 1:10 for 24 h with the strains wt, mutant and inactivated. Then, total RNA was extracted with TRIzol (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., MA, United States) as was indicated by the manufacturer. Complementary DNA (cDNA) was obtained from RNA by reverse transcription using the Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis kit for RT-PCR (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., MA, United States) and the relative expression of the genes of interest (Table 3) was quantified using the Takyon q-PCR kit for SYBR assays by means of the AriaMx Real Time PCR system (Agilent Technologies, CA, United States). gyrA and 16s housekeeping genes were used as reference genes for all assays.

The primer sequences used were as follows: ERK1 GenBank: ABCB1 forward, 5′-TGGAAACAGTGGCTGTGGGAAG-3′, and reverse, 5′-TCCTGTCCATCAACACTGACCATC-3′; HMBS GenBank: NM_002745 forward, 5′-GGCAATGCGGCTGCAA-3′, and reverse, 5′-GGGTACCCACGCGAATCAC-3′; HPRT1 GenBank: NM_001101 forward, 5′-TGACACTGGCAAAACAATGCA -3′, and reverse, 5′-GGTCCTTTTCACCAGCAAGCT-3′. The expression levels of the different genes were measured by real-time PCR amplification in conjunction with a SYBR Green I Master Mix (Roche) using a LightCycler 480 (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Finally, threshold cycle numbers (Ct) were used to calculate the expression of each target gene by normalizing to the house-keeping genes hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1).

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.
