On day 6 following laser-induced CNV and day 11 following NaIO3-induced retinal degeneration, individual RPE/choroid fractions were isolated from mice and stored at –80°C until use. RNA was isolated using the miRNEASY Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Absorbance A260/A280 ratio (Take 3 Micro-Volume Plates; Biotek, Winooski, VT, USA) was used to measure the purity of RNA, and samples with measurements of 1.8 to 2.1 were used to generate first-strand cDNA (Qiagen). Using the Realplex 2 Mastercyler (Eppendorf, Hauppauge, NY, USA), PCR amplifications for genes of interest (Table 1) were performed as previously described.47 (link) Quantitative values were obtained using cycle number (Ct value) with values normalized to either β-actin or 36B4.48 (link)

Cardiac Transcript Quantification via qPCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following flash freezing in liquid nitrogen, pulverized hearts were lysed in TRIzol-Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and mRNA was isolated using the Directzol RNA Miniprep Kit (Zymogen). cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription of 1 μg mRNA using iScript (Biorad) and diluted 1:10. Transcripts were quantified by mixing PerfeCTASYBR Green (Quanta), 1μL diluted cDNA, and the appropriate primer sets followed by thermal cycling in an Eppendorf realplex2 Mastercyler. The following primer sequences listed in the 5′ to 3′ direction were used: L7 forward: GAAGCTCATCTATGAGAAGGC, L7 reverse: AAGACGAAGGAGCTGCAGAAC, Nppa forward: TCTTCCTCGTCTTGGCCTTT, Nppa reverse: CCAGGTGGTCTAGCAGGTTC, Nppb forward: CTCTGGGAAGTCCTAGCCAG, Nppb reverse: CTGCCTTGAGACCGAAGGAC, Myh7 forward: GAGCTGGGAAGACTGTCAAC, Myh7 reverse: CGAGAGGAGTTGTCATTCCG, Actal forward: CTGAGCGTGGCTATTCCTTC, Actal reverse: CATTGCCGATGGTGATGACC, Rcanl.4 forward: CATGCAGCGACAGACACCAC, Rcan1.4 reverse: GTGGATGGGTGTGTACTCCG.

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.
