Robust RNA Extraction and qPCR Analysis

Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol (Invitrogen) combined with PureLink RNA Mini columns (Thermo Fisher, 12183025) for tissue and SVC cells or by PicoPure RNA Isolation Kit (Applied Biosystems, KIT0204) for 384-well plate populations and adipocytes. Prior to the addition of chloroform, all tissue and primary adipocytes in TRIzol included an extra spin at max speed for 10 minutes at RT, then TRIzol was removed from below the lipid layer to avoid lipid contamination disrupting the subsequent phase separation with chloroform. Chloroform was added to the lipid-free TRIzol, spun for 15 mins at 12,000 × g and the aqueous layer was removed and added to columns. mRNA was quantified using a Nanodrop and reverse transcribed to cDNA using the ABI High-Capacity cDNA Synthesis kit (ABI, 4368813). Real-time PCR was performed on a QuantStudio5 qPCR machine using SYBR green fluorescent dye (Applied Biosystems). Fold changes were calculated using the ddCT method, with TATA binding Protein (Tbp) mRNA serving as a normalization control.

Constructing 5'UTR Reporter Constructs

For generation of 5’UTR reporter constructs, sequences were obtained from ENSEMBL and isoforms were chosen based on alignment to the RNA sequencing results presented herein (Table S2). 5’UTR gene fragments were synthesized (Twist Biosciences) and cloned immediately upstream of a Firefly luciferase gene encoded in pGL3-FLB (Leppek et al., 2020 (link)). Each 5’UTR-FLuc construct was PCR amplified using primers flanking the 5’UTR and FLuc gene and incorporating a T7 RNA polymerase promoter at the 5’ end. PCR amplicons were column purified (NEB, T1030) and used as a template for in vitro transcription reactions with a mMESSAGE mMACHINE® T7 Transcription Kit (Ambion, AM1344) followed by the addition of a poly(A) tail using a Poly(A) Polymerase Tailing Kit (Lucigen, PAP5104H). In vitro synthesized capped and poly(A) tailed RNA was purified using PureLink RNA Mini Columns (Thermo Fisher, 12183020). RNA integrity was confirmed via denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis.
For testing p53 transcriptional activity, a 423 bp gene fragment of Eif4ebp1 (Table S2) was amplified from genomic DNA of primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts and cloned in lieu of the minimal promoter sequence within pGL4.23[luc2/miniP]. All constructs were sequence verified.

Total cellular RNA was isolated from ~30 mg of pulverized gastrocnemius muscle using a FastRNA Green Kit (MP Bio, Santa Ana, CA, USA) and RNA-containing homogenates were further purified using PureLink RNA mini columns (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Quantification of RNA was performed on each sample using spectrophotometry by measuring the absorbance at 260 nm using a Nanodrop 1000 (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). RNA purity was determined by a 260:280 nm ratio of ≥2.0 and the absence of organic contamination such as phenol and carbohydrates was verified by a 230:260 nm ratio of ≥1.8. RNA (1 μg), which was reverse transcribed (#4368814; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 25 ng of cDNA per reaction was used for real-time PCR with TaqMan gene expression assays (#4331182; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Levels of MAFbx (Mm00499523_m1), MuRF-1 (Mm01185221_m1), and myostatin (Mm01254559_m1) mRNA were analyzed and normalized to TATA box binding protein endogenous control reference mRNA (Tbp; Mm01277042_m1) using a Prism 7300 real-time PCR system (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Target mRNA levels were calculated using the ∆∆Ct method and expressed relative to control samples.

To extract total RNA, an aliquot of brain homogenate was mixed with RNABee (Amsbio) reagent, and the solution was incubated on ice with chloroform. The resultant aqueous layer was removed, and RNA was isolated using PureLink RNA Mini Columns (Life Technologies) according to manufacturer’s protocol. Contaminating genomic DNA was removed, and complementary DNA (cDNA) was reverse-transcribed with High Capacity RNA to cDNA conversion kit (Life Technologies) from equal concentrations of RNA across samples. Pre-amplification (14 cycles) was subsequently performed using TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) with desired targets. Pre-amplified, diluted cDNA was then used to run quantitative, real-time RT-PCR on a StepOne Plus Real-Time PCR System with desired TaqMan probes (all from Applied Biosystems; probe numbers are available upon request). Expression levels of mRNA were determined relative to housekeeping genes GAPDH and 18S RNA, and data were normalized to a wildtype calibrator sample. Statistics were performed at the relative (delta Ct) level [19 (link)].

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.
