Total RNA was isolated by an RNeasy kit (#74104, Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and reverse transcribed into cDNA by a Superscript III kit (#11752, Invitrogen, CA). Quantitative PCR reactions were run with Fast Universal PCR master mix (#4352042, Invitrogen) in an ABI Prism 7700 Fast sequence detector System27 . The mRNA expression was determined by using cataloged primers (Invitrogen) for human FPRL1 (Hs02759175_s1) and collagen COL1A2 (Hs01028956_m1).
For PCR arrays, RNA was converted to cDNA with RT2 (link) First Strand kit (#330401, Qiagen). Mouse antibacterial response PCR arrays (PAMM-148Z) and human fibrosis PCR arrays (PAHS-120Z) were performed with RT2 (link) SYBR Green PCR master mix (#330501, Qiagen) in Bio-Rad CFX384 PCR machine. All gene expression analyses were normalized to 18 S (Hs99999901_s1). Results were expressed as relative fold difference.

Quantitative Gene Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA isolation was carried out using TRIsureTM reagent following the manufacturer's instructions (Bioline Reagent). The liver, hippocampus, or cortex samples were homogenized using TissueLyser LT sample disruption apparatus (QIAGEN). RNA quantity and purity were measured with NanoDrop™ 1000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). RNA retrotranscription was done using iScript™ Advanced cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio‐rad). Gene expression was analyzed by real‐time quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) on a Bio‐Rad CFX‐384 PCR machine at the Analysis and Photodocumentation Service of the Universitat Autonòma de Barcelona. Each reaction contained 25 ng of cDNA, 7.5 μl of iTaqTM Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Bio‐Rad), and a primer concentration of 0.2 nM, with a final reaction volume of 15 μl. Primers used are listed in Table S2.
The analysis of qPCR data was done following the ΔΔCt method. Cycle threshold (Ct) were normalized subtracting from each experimental Ct, the difference of its housekeeping (HK) Ct in regard to the HK’s average value. HK genes used were β‐actin and GAPDH. Melting curves were also analyzed to ensure unique amplificon generation. Each sample (n = 6 per group) was tested at least in duplicates, and Cts higher than 37 cycles were considered as not amplified.

Quantification of Secreted Klotho mRNA

Total RNA was extracted from the tissue samples using QIAzol Lysis Reagent (Qiagen, Madrid, Spain), then quantified on a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Madrid, Spain), and reverse transcribed into complimentary DNA (cDNA) with iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad, El Prat de Llobregat, Spain). Gene-specific primers used for the quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis of messenger RNA (mRNA) s-KL levels were: s-KL Fwd: 5′-TGGCTTTCCTCCTTTACCTG-3′; s-KL Rv: 5′-GCCGACACTGGGTTTTGT-3′; m36B4 Fwd: 5′-ATGGGTACAAGCGCGTCCTG-3′; m36B4 Rv: 5′-AGCCGCAAA TGCAGATGGATC-3′; CMV Fwd: 5′-TCCCGGTGTCTTCTATGGAGG-3′; CMV Rv: 5′-CAACTCCGCCCCATTGACGCA-3′. Quantitative qPCR was performed as previously described by Masso et al., 11 on a Bio-Rad CFX-384 PCR machine at the Analysis and Photodocumentation Service of the Universitat Autonoma Barcelona using iTaqTM Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Bio-Rad). The analysis of qPCR output data followed the manufacturersuggested ΔCt method. Cycle thresholds (Ct) were measured, and the relative expression of genes was calculated by comparison of Ct values. Melt-curve analysis was used to confirm the production of a single amplicon for each gene tested. On the basis of the RT-qPCR assay efficiency, gene amplification at a level higher than 35 cycles was considered to have no expression. A 'no template control' was also included in each run.

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.
