Quantitative Real-time PCR (TaqMan®; Applied Biosystems; Foster City, CA, USA) was performed using i) specific primers and probes for peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor-gamma co-activator 1 alpha (Ppargc1a; NM_031,347, Fw Primer 5′-CGATCACCATATTCCAGGTCAAG-3’; Rv primer 5′-CGATGTGTGCGGTGTCTGTAGT-3’; Probe FAM-5′-AGGTCCCCAGGCAGTAGATCCTCTTCAAGA-3′-TAMRA) or ii) commercially available validated TaqMan® primers and probes (Applied Biosystems; Foster City, CA, USA) for peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor-gamma co-activator 1 beta (PGC1β, Ppargc1b; Assay ID Rn_00598,552_m1), peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ, Pparg; Assay ID Rn_00440,945_m1), PR domain containing 16 (PRDM16, Prdm16; Assay ID Rn_01516224_m1), cell death-inducing DFFA-like effector a (Cidea, Cidea; Assay ID Rn_04181355_m1), otopetrin 1 (OTOP1, Otop1; Assay ID Rn_00710,679) and iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (DIO2, Dio2; Assay ID Rn_00581,867_m1) [27 ,32 (link),34 (link)]. Values were expressed in relation to hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase levels (Hprt; NM_012,583, FW Primer 5′-AGCCGACCGGTTCTGTCAT-3’; Fw Primer 5′-GGTCATAACCTGGTTCATCATCAC-3’; Probe FAM-5′-CGACCCTCAGTCCCAGCGTCGTGAT-3′-TAMRA).

Quantification of Gene Expression in Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA from cells was extracted with TRIzol reagent. For RNA analysis from blood, mice were cheek bled into a mixture of sodium citrate (final 2%) and RPMI. The cell pellet was incubated with ammonium-chloride-potassium (ACK) lysis buffer. The remaining pellet was suspended in TRIzol for RNA extraction. Total RNA from tissue was isolated by homogenization with an Omni Tissue Homogenizer in QIAzol Lysis Reagent using an RNeasy Lipid Tissue Mini Kit (Qiagen 74804). RNA was converted to cDNA using ProtoScript II Reverse Transcriptase. Predesigned TaqMan gene expression assays were purchased from Applied Biosystems: Klk1b22 (Mm02343755_g1, Mm02343756_g1, Mm02343754_m1), uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) (Mm01244861_m1), Cidea (Mm00432554_m1), Cpt1b (Mm01308160_m1), Prdm16 (Mm00712556_m1), Tbx21 (Mm00450960_m1), Gata3 (Mm00484683_m1), Rorc (Mm01261022_m1), Ifng (Mm01168134_m1), and Ppargc1a (Pgc1α) (Mm01208835_m1). Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed with EagleTaq Universal Master Mix using an Applied Biosystems StepOnePlus 96-well RT-PCR. ΔΔCt values were normalized to 18S rRNA (Applied Biosystems 4310893E) and to a control group of interest or background.

Total RNA was isolated from the tissue using Qiazol lysis reagent (Quiagen Sciences, USA). Two μg of RNA were treated with DNase I (DNase I amplification grade; Invitrogen, CA) and then reversely transcribed using random hexamers (Amersham Biosciences, NJ) and SuperScript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen, CA). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions were performed using ABI PRISM 7900 System with TaqMan primers bmp7 (Mm00432102_m1), ppargc1a (Mm01208835_m1), fgf21 (Mm00840165_g1), elovl3 (Mm00468164_m1), rps29 (Mm02342448_gH), tbp (Mm01277042_m1), cidea (Mm00432554_m1), car4 (Mm00483021_m1), tfam (Mm00447485_m1), nrf1 (Mm01135606_m1) and reagents (Applied Biosystems, CA); Qiagen SYBR green primers were Prdm16 (QT00148127), tbx15 (QT00148127), zic1 (QT00173502), tcf21 (QT00100688), ucp1 (QT00097300), cpt1 (QT00172564) and tbp (QT00198443). Each reaction was performed in duplicate and results were normalized to the geometric average of two internal controls (Rps29 and Tbp).

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.
