RNA was isolated using Trizol and the RNeasy micro kit with on-column deoxyribonuclease I treatment (Qiagen). Quality and integrity of RNA was determined using nanodrop spectrophotometer ND-1000. Reverse-transcriptase reactions were prepared using 1 µg of RNA and iScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Bio-Rad). Quantitative real-time PCR was completed using TaqMan probes (Applied Biosystems) for Gcg (Mm01269055_m1), Agrp (Mm00475829_g1), Kiss1 (Mm03058560_m1), and housekeeping gene 18s (Hs03003631_g1) was used as an endogenous control to normalize each sample and gene. PCRs were in a 10-μl volume using 0.5 μl TaqMan probe, 10 ng cDNA template, 5 μl TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix II with UNG (Applied Biosystems), and 2.5 μl DNase/RNase-free molecular grade water (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was run using an Applied Biosystems 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR system with initial denaturing at 50°C for 2 min and 95°C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15 s, and annealing at 60°C for 1 min. Results were calculated using the Pfaffl method (Pfaffl, 2001 (link)).

Humeral head articular cartilage gene expression was determined in 8 BtxA (4M, 4F), 8 Saline (4F, 4M), and 8 Control (4M, 4F) shoulders from 40-week old mice using established methods.32 Immediately following mouse sacrifice and dissection, tissues were frozen in liquid nitrogen and pulverized using a ball mill homogenizer (Mikro-Dismembrator U, Sartorius). RNA extraction was performed using guandinium thiocyanatephenol-chloroform (TRIzol, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and interphase separation (Phase Lock Gel, QuantaBio). RNA cleanup was performed using spin columns (RNeasy Mini Kit, Qiagen) with on-column deoxyribonuclease I treatment (Qiagen). RNA quantity and quality were determined using a spectrophotometer (NanoDrop 1000, Thermo Fisher Scientific). RNA was then reverse-transcribed into cDNA using a High-Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cartilage-, bone- and OA-related genes (Ihh, Acan, Runx2, Dkk1, Col2A1, Col10A1, BGLAP, ALPL, and BMP2) were evaluated by SYBR Green-based quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction on an Applied Biosystems Quant-Studio 6 flex system. Glycer-aldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase served as a housekeeping gene, and the relative mRNA expression level for each target gene was determined as 2-ΔΔCt.

Quantifying Gene Expression in Murine Hypothalamus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hypothalami were collected from control and DIO mice. Tissue was homogenized in Trizol and RNA was isolated using the RNeasy micro kit with on-column deoxyribonuclease I treatment (Qiagen). Quality and integrity of RNA was determined using a ND-1000 Nanodrop spectrophotometer. Reverse-transcription reactions were prepared using 2 μg of RNA and a cDNA Synthesis Kit (Promega). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using TaqMan probes (Applied Biosystems) for RELN (Mm00465200_m1), ApoER2 (Mm00474030_m1), and VLDLR (Mm00443298_m1). The level of 18s rRNA (Hs03003631_g1) was used as an endogenous control for normalization. PCRs were performed in a 10-μl volume using 0.5 μl TaqMan probe, 20 ng cDNA template, 5 μl TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix II with UNG (Applied Biosystems), and 2.5 μl DNase/RNase molecular-grade water (Qiagen). Real-time PCR was run using a 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR system with initial denaturation at 50 °C for 2 min and 95 °C for 10 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95 °C for 15 s, and annealing at 60 °C for 1 min.

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.
