We selected five of the most significant SNPs (rs7572473, rs12473679, rs17529497, rs7605378, and rs10203122) of FTCDNL1 based on a previous study with a minimum allele frequency of ≥ 1% in a Beijing Han Chinese population[17 (link)]. The FTCDNL1 gene structure is shown in Fig 1. Genotyping was performed by the TaqMan Allelic Discrimination assay (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was accomplished by an ABI StepOnePlus Thermal Cycler. In a subsequent PCR, the fluorescence from specific probes was detected and analyzed through the System SDS software version 2.2.2 (Applied Biosystems).

Comprehensive miRNA Profiling via S-Poly(T) Plus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The polyadenylation, reverse transcription and Real-time PCR procedure were conducted exactly according to S-Poly(T) Plus protocol21 (link). To profile miRNAs effectively, every 7 out of 485 miRNAs as well as spiked-in cel-miR-54 were grouped together for the one-step reaction of polyadenylation and reverse transcription, simultaneously. miRNAs with identical forward primers or with more than five base-pairings between the forward primer and RT primers have been avoided in the same group. All sequences, primers and probes were listed in the Supplemental Table 1. Besides, the S-Poly(T) Plus assay was evaluated by comparing with TaqMan microRNA assay kit (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. No-template control (NTC) and no-reverse transcriptase control (-RT) were conducted simultaneously.
Real-time PCR was performed in 96-well plates by using ABI StepOne Plus thermal cycler. Each PCR reaction was carried out in duplicate. The miRNA expression level was normalized to spiked-in cel-miR-54-5p. miRNAs with cycle threshold (Ct) value less than 35 in the panel were included in data analysis.

In this study, quantitative real time PCR was performed to examine the expression of lncRNA-HOXA11-AS, miR-15a, TNF-α and NF-κB in the peripheral blood and CSF samples collected from the SAH patients carrying different genotypes of rs17427875. In brief, the total RNA content in each cell and tissue sample was extracted by making use of the Oligotex mRNA mini assay set according to the kit’s instruction. Then, an MMLV High Performance Reverse Transcriptase (Epicentre, Madison, WI, USA) was used in accordance with the recommended assay protocol provided by the manufacturer on the manual of the assay kit to convert the extracted RNA into cDNA, which was used in conjunction with a Hotstar Taq Polymerase real time PCR kit (Cat.no. AB-RPP-0005; Geneup, Shenzhen, China) on a StepOnePlus thermal cycler (ABI, Foster City, CA, USA) to carry out the Real-time PCR reactions. Finally, the relative expression of lncRNA-HOXA11-AS, miR-15a, TNF-α, and NF-κB in each sample was calculated based on the Ct value of amplification curves using the 2−ΔΔCt approach.

Total RNA was prepared by hot acid phenol extraction from three independent biological replicates per experimental condition. The ImProm-II reverse transcription kit (Promega) was used to synthesize cDNA from 1 μg of total RNA using the included oligo dT primers in a volume of 20 μL per the manufacturer’s direction. After cDNA synthesis, the cDNA reaction was diluted with ultrapure dH2O to a final volume of 100 μL, and 1 μL of the diluted cDNA was used to perform gene-specific qPCR using SYBR Green reagent and an ABI StepOne Plus thermal cycler. The gene specific signal was normalized to the SPT15 internal reference control gene using the formula 2(CtSPT15-CtTarget) as previously described. The mean and standard deviation for each gene were calculated and are plotted in Figure S4 and Figure S7. These means then were Log2 converted and used to generate the heat map results for Figures 2 and Figure 5. Primer sequences used in this study are in Supplemental File 1. All statistical analyses and graphs were generated using GraphPad Prism 10.

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.
