mRNA extractions from cultured cells were performed with the Qiagen miRNeasy kit (217004). Reverse transcription of total RNA (500 ng) into cDNA was performed with PrimeScript (Takara, RR036Q). All qRT-PCR reactions were performed as triplicates in 7900HT qPCR instrument (Applied Biosystems). Results were normalized to the housekeeping genes beta-actin or GAPDH (for human) and Rpl19 or GAPDH for mouse. For western blotting, cultured cells were lysed in RIPA lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 89900), and protein concentrations were determined using Bradford 1X dye reagent (Bio-Rad). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. After blocking the membranes with 5% BSA in TBST buffer for 1 hr at room temperature, primary antibodies were incubated at 4°C overnight, and then secondary antibodies were incubated for 1 hr at room temperature. Finally, the membranes were visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

A 7900 H T qPCR instrument (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) was applied for determination of optimal oligo concentrations for the newly developed event-specific gm alfalfa qPCR methods. PCR primer concentrations varied between 200 nM and 500 nM, whereas PCR probes concentrations varied between 100 nM and 300 nM. The qPCR assays were performed in a 25 μL reaction volume containing 1× GoTaq Probe qPCR Master Mix (Promega GmbH, Mannheim, Germany), oligos in different concentrations, 5 μL plasmid and nuclease-free water ad 25 μL. Plasmids were diluted 1:105 (pJ101 ≅ 2.54 × 106 copies) or 1:106 (pJ163 ≅ 2.88 × 105 copies; pKK179 ≅ 1.5 × 105 copies) and analyzed in six replicates for each oligo concentration and combination. Cycling conditions were the following: initial denaturation for 3 min at 95 °C and 45 cycles of 95 °C for 15 s and 60 °C for 60 s. All following qPCR experiments described in this work were performed using the optimized oligo concentrations (see Table 2) and cycling conditions (except for robustness tests; see robustness test section). Optimal concentrations were selected based on PCR efficiency, amplification curves and Cq values.

Total RNA was isolated from the cells or EVs using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, USA) with standard conditions. RNA was converted to cDNA using random primers and SuperScript II reverse transcriptase enzyme or using TaqMan microRNA assays (Invitrogen, USA) as previously described [52 (link)]. qRT-PCR was performed in an Applied Biosystems 7900HT qPCR instrument. A custom TaqMan probe (LNA sequence TG+AGCC+T+GG+GA) was designed to the modified pre-miR-199a loop amplified using forward primer 5′- CCCAGTGTTCAGACTACCTGTTC-3′ and reverse primer 5′- TAACCAATGTGCAGACTACTGT-3′. Data were normalised to U6 or 18S rRNA and the relative expression was determined using the 2−ΔCT method.

Thermal Shift Assay of gp63.1ht Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A SYPRO Orange-based thermal shift assay (Lo et al., 2004) was performed in a 384-well plate with the help of a 7900HT qPCR instrument (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) (Lavinder et al., 2009) , on the following gp63.1ht variants: wild-type, D470A, H473A. All proteins had a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml. The stock solution of the SYPRO Orange dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was diluted 5,000 times to yield a nominal concentration (1 X dilution). Two negative controls that either did not contain the protein or both the protein and the dye were tested. Both controls showed no change in fluorescent signal associated with protein unfolding. All statistical analyses were conducted in R 3.0.2. For the purpose of visualization, fluorescence intensity was normalized within each well to values between 0 and 1 using the formula: F norm 5 (F raw -F min )/ (F max -F min ). The normalized fluorescences' were then averaged, smoothed and plotted against the temperature. The melting temperatures were defined as the inflexion points of a Boltzmann sigmoidal curve fitted using a nonlinear least-square regression on the raw fluorescence 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.
