Real time PCR analysis was carried out using SYBR Green qPCR Master mix (Tiangen, Beijing, China), the reaction was run in a total volume of 20 μl containing 1 μl cDNA as a template. Thermal cycling was by the methods of Wu50 (link). The fluorescence of the SYBR green dye was plotted as a function of PCR cycle number. To confirm the specificity of amplification, the PCR products from each primer pair were analyzed by their melting curves. The Δ CT values (Ct = cycle threshold value) of the target genes (SERCA2a and SUMO1) were calculated by subtracting the values of the experimental group from the housekeeping gene (GAPDH) values. The 2-∆ (∆Ct) method was used to calculate the relative expression of SERCA2a and SUMO1 mRNA. The primer sequences designed with online tools were as follows:

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.
