Real-time PCR was performed as previously described (Kojima et al, 2010 (link)). Total RNA was extracted using NucleoSpin RNA Ⅱ (Takara) in accordance with the manufacturer’s protocol. SuperScript II reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) was also used to synthesize cDNA. The resulting cDNAs were used for PCR using Fast SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) in triplicate. PCR and data collection were performed with a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Relative gene expressions were analyzed by the ΔΔCt method. Data were normalized relative to the GAPDH or β-actin gene expression level. The primer sequences are listed in Table S6.

Normalized cDNA Library Construction of Tobacco K326

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tobacco (K326), provided by the tobacco cultivation and physiology laboratory of Henan Agricultural University, was used in this experiment. A cDNA library of K326 was constructed via a switching mechanism at the 5′ end of RNA transcript (SMART™). Briefly, the root, stem, leaf, and flower of K326 at different developmental stages were quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at − 70 °C. Total RNA from different tissues was extracted and mixed together. After purification of total RNA using NucleoSpin RNA II (740,955.20; Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA), poly A+ mRNA was enriched using a NucleoTrap mRNA Kit (740,655; Clontech). The first strand of cDNA was then synthesized based on the SMART technique and duplex-specific nuclease (DSN) according to the Matchmaker® Gold Yeast One-Hybrid Library Screening System (Clontech). Double-stranded cDNA was synthesized through long-distance (LD)-PCR. Following purification using a chromatographic column, a normalized cDNA library of K326 was obtained.

Total RNA was extracted from whole BM of 6-month-old female Sf3b1+/− (n = 2) and Sf3b1+/+ (n = 2) mice using NucleoSpin RNA II (Clontech Laboratories). PolyA cDNA was prepared from 3 μg of RNA and mouse RNA-sequencing was run on Illumina HiSeq2000 by Otogenetics (Norcross, GA). 100 basepair paired-end RNA-sequencing reads were mapped to the mm10 RefSeq mouse transcriptome and spliceome by DNAnexus (http://dnanexus.com) using a Bayesian method where a read was mapped when its posterior probability of mapping exceeded 0.9. These filtered posterior probabilities were summed to generate fractional read counts per gene and per exon, with probabilities from splice-junction spanning reads counted for each relevant exon. We used rounded gene and exon read counts as inputs for our differential expression analyses.

Quantitative Analysis of Cartilage Gene Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (rtPCR) was used to assess anabolic and catabolic mRNA expression. Due to known zonal variations in cartilage endogenous gene expression only the superficial zone of each explant was used for analysis 29 (link). A slice was taken from the top 10–20 % of the tissue to represent the superficial zone of cartilage30 (link). Total mRNA from this zone was extracted using Nucleospin RNA II (Clontech) according to manufacturer’s protocols. Extracted mRNA from all samples was quantified using Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific) and reverse transcribed into cDNA using High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Applied Biosystems). Real-time PCR was performed using Taqman Gene Expression Assays (Applied Biosystems) with the primers for the following genes: GAPDH (Bt03210913_g1), aggrecan (Bt03212186_m1), collagen type II (Bt03251861_m1), MMP-13(Bt03214050_m1) and ADAMTS5(Bt04230783_m1). 40 ng of cDNA template was prepared per 20 μL reaction for the genes of interest and the endogenous gene. Real-time PCR analysis was carried out using a Taqman PCR Master Mix and 7500 Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Data was analyzed using the comparative CT method, where average CT values were first normalized to GAPDH gene expression followed by relative quantification to the positive control (normal cartilage).

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.
