The total RNA for all samples was isolated using the RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen) and any contaminating genomic DNA was degraded with TURBO DNase kit (Ambion) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA was diluted to 10 ng/μL and first-strand cDNA and qPCR were performed using Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR master mix (New England Biolabs) in a 20-µL reaction. qPCR analysis was performed on a 7500 Real Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems) using the UBQ10 (At4G05320) gene from A. thaliana as an internal reference (29 (link)). qPCR was performed in a 96-well optical PCR plate (ABgene) using the following parameters: 1 cycle of 10 min at 95 °C,and 40 cycles of 15 s at 95 °C, 15 s at 58 °C and 15 s at 65 °C, and 1 cycle of dissociation from 58 to 95 °C with 1 ° temperature increments. The qPCR primers used in this study are presented in SI Appendix, Table S1.

RT-qPCR was used to assess α-catenin mRNA levels. For each experiment, 30 treated embryos and 30 control embryos were collected into two tubes, and RNA was isolated from the pooled embryos using a RNAqueous Micro RNA isolation kit (Life Technologies). RNA samples were analyzed directly using Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR master mix (New England Biolabs) in a Mic qPCR cycler (Bio Molecular Systems); 20 μL reactions were set up in triplicate for each sample and run according to the manufacturers specifications. The Nematostella genes ATP synthase, EF1b, and RPL23 were used as control standards for all experiments. A minimum of three biological replicates were used for each treatment or time-point.

To assess changes in gene expression in NSs-treated cells, qPCR analysis was carried out. RNA was isolated using the Maxwell RSC purification kit (Promega; WI, USA), and 10 ng of total RNA was reverse transcribed and amplified using Luna® Universal One-Step RT-qPCR master mix (NEB; MA, USA) in the LightCycler96 real-time PCR system (Roche; Basel, Switzerland). Cycling conditions were as follows: reverse transcription (55 °C for 10 min) and initial denaturation (95 °C for 1 min) followed by 40 cycles of denaturation (95 °C for 10 s) and extension (60 °C for 30 s, with plate read). The fold change in gene expression was determined using the 2-ΔΔCt method. The following qPCR primers were purchased from IDT (Integrated DNA Technology; IA, USA): B2M Fwd: 5’ TAGAGGTGGGGAGCAGAGAA, B2M Rev: 5’ TCCCCCAAATTCTAAGCAGA, GFP Fwd: 5’GACAACCACTACCTGAGCAC, GFP Rev: 5’CAGGACCATGTGATCGCG.

Cells were grown for 48 hours after lipofection before being harvested using RNAprotect (Qiagen). Total RNA was extracted using Direct-zol RNA microprep kit and quantified. Each condition was performed in triplicate using 50 ng of total RNA. For each 20 ul reaction, RNA was added to Luna Universal One-Step RT-qPCR master mix (New England Bio Labs) and two RT-qPCR primers at a final concentration of 0.4 μM. The following amplification cycle was run on a QuantStudio 3 realtime PCR machine (ThermoFisher Scientific): 55 °C for 10 min, 95 °C for 1 min, followed by 95 °C for 10 sec and 60 °C for 1 min for 40 cycles. All genes were normalized to beta Actin (ACTB) and expression was determined via relative quantification to lipofectamine only carrier control. Gene specific primers for each gene of interest were ordered from Integrated DNA Technologies and are as follows: ACTB: 5'-CACCATTGGCAATGAGCGGTTC-3' and 5'-AGGTCTTTGCGGATGTCCACGT-3', TBK1: 5'-GGATCACTGCCATTTAGACCC-3' and 5'-CAGGCATGTCTCCACTCCAG-3' (PrimerBank 309747068c3), KRT14: 5'-TGAGCCGCATTCTGAACGAG-3' and 5'-GATGACTGCGATCCAGAGGA-3' (PrimerBank 83641893c1), HNRNPA1: 5'-TCAGAGTCTCCTAAAGAGCCC-3' and 5-ACCTTGTGTGGCCTTGCAT-3' (PrimerBank 83641893c1).

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.
