The concentration of RNA lysates was measured (Epoch, BioTek instruments, Inc.). For reverse transcription, 500 ng RNA for synthesizing cDNA with Prime Script™ RT Master Mix kit (Takara, Japan), while 800 ng miRNAs with miRNA 1st strand cDNA synthesis kit (Accurate biology, Changsha) on a C1000™ Thermal Cycler system (Bio-Rad). The amplification of cDNA was executed with SYBR Premix Ex TaqTM II kit (Takara, Japan) or UltraSYBR mixture (Cwbio, Beijing) on a CFX96™ Real-Time System (Bio-Rad). Genes expression was confirmed by performing every reaction in triplicate, with regarding GAPDH as an inner control. U6 was utilized as an internal normalization for mir-486-3p. The primer pairs appeared in the experiment were documented in Table 1, with each experiment being replicated thrice. Relative quantification was conducted following the ΔΔCT method, and results were represented in the linear form using the formula 2-ΔΔCT.

The cDNA generated from mouse tissues and human colon cancer cells was used for qPCR as previously described.19 (link), 20 (link) The following primers (Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used for amplification of human and mouse cDNA: Itga2 (human: hItga2-FOR 5′-GGTGCTCCTCGGGCAAATTA-3′, hItga2-REV 5′-GAGCCAATCTGGTCACCTCG-3′; mouse: mItga2-FOR 5′-TGGTAGTTGTGACCGATGGC-3′; mItga2-REV 5′-ACCCAAGAACTGCTATGCCG-3′), Adamts12 (mAdamts12-FOR 5′-CTGCCAAGGACTGACTGGATT-3′, mAdamts12-REV 5′-GTAGGACCCTTCCTCGGTCA-3′), St8sia5 (mSt8sia5-FOR 5′-CTTGTCCAGGTGCTGCAATG-3′; mSt8sia5-REV 5′-AGGGCATTTCCTTGGGAAACA-3′), Tlr4 (mTlr4-FOR 5′-AATCCCTGCATAGAGGTAGTTCC-3′, mTlr4-REV 5′-ATCCAGCCACTGAAGTTCTGA-3′), FOXO3 (hFoxo3-FOR 5′-TGGTTTGAACGTGGGGAACT-3′, hFoxo3-REV 5′-GTGTCAGTTTGAGGGTCTGCT-3′). To determine the relative levels of mRNA the comparative Ct method was used with Hprt-1 as a housekeeping control. The C1000 Thermal Cycler system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and iQ SYBR Green DNA double-strand binding dye (iQ SYBR Green Supermix; Bio-Rad; 1708885) were used to quantify cDNA. As expected, PCR amplification was unaffected in mouse colonic tumors because of ample time between the last DSS treatment and RNA extraction.21 (link)

Tissue RNA was isolated using lysis buffer from PureLink RNA mini kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) per manufacturer’s protocol. RNA quantity and quality were assessed using a ThermoScientific Nanodrop 1000. Extracted RNA was DNase treated using Amplification Grade DNase 1 (Sigma-Aldrich) and cDNA was generated from 500ng of total RNA with Multiscribe reverse transcriptase and random hexameters (Thermo Fisher Scientific) into a 25μl reaction volume. Real-time qPCR was performed in triplicates in a Bio-Rad C1000 Thermal cycler system using iTaq Universal SYBR GreenSupermix (Bio-Rad) and gene-specific primers. Primers were ordered from Sigma-Aldrich and are listed in Table 1. Relative mRNA expression for genes of interest was assessed in comparison with control samples, following normalization to the reference genes α-tubulin (Tuba1), β2 microglobulin (B2m), and β-actin (Actb) using the ΔΔCT method as described in Applied Biosystems User Bulletin No. 2 (P/N 4303859) (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 ). Appropriateness of reference genes was tested using NormFinder (version 20) (Andersen et al., 2004 (link)). The relative quantification data are presented in graphs showing fold increase expression ratio relative to control samples with error bars corresponding to the S.E.M. Statistical analysis was performed on biological replicates.

Real-time PCR reactions were carried out in duplicate using a Bio-Rad C1000™ thermal cycler system (CFX-96 Real-Time detection system, Bio-Rad). To monitor cDNA amplification, a fluorogenic DNA binding dye, EvaGreen (SsoFAST EvaGreen Supermix, Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA, USA), was used.
The miR-33a primer sequence was synthesized by Sigma Aldrich (Milan, Italy). In particular, the GenBank accession number for hsa-miR-33a was NR_029507, and the forward primer sequence (5′—3′) was CAATGTTTCCACAGTGCATCAC. The Ce_miR-39 (miRNA mimic Ce_miR-39_1 miScript Primer Assay) was employed to normalize miRNA data.

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.
