Non-specific binding of the immunoglobulin to the Fc receptors was blocked by incubating cells 10 min on ice in 0.5% BSA in DPBS (without Ca2+ or Mg2+) with 2 mM EDTA supplemented with TruStain fcX (anti-mouse Cd16/32, BioLegend, #101319, clone 93, 1:100). Cells were stained with anti-CD11B-Alexa647 (clone M1/70, 1:100) and anti-CD45-PE-Cy7 (clone 30-F11, 1:100) for 30 min on ice. Finally, cells were washed with 1 mL DPBS (without Ca2+ or Mg2+) with 0.5% BSA and 2 mM EDTA and were centrifuged at 300 × g for 10 min, resuspended in 0.5% BSA, 2 mM EDTA in DPBS (without Ca2+ or Mg2+) and passed through a 35 mm nylon mesh strainer (BD Falcon). DAPI was added to cells at final concentration of 1 μg/ml. Live cells were sorted using a BD FACSAria II SORP Cell Sorter. Sorted cells were directly lysed in RLT Plus buffer (QIAGEN) and RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus RNA isolation kit (QIAGEN) according to manufactures protocol following appendix D.

LADR and 2 cells were harvested, and total RNA was extracted from 1 × 106 LAD2 cells using the RNeasy Plus RNA isolation kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) as described [10 (link)]. Approximately 1 µg of total RNA was reverse transcribed (RT) using the SuperScript III First-Strand synthesis system (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) with random hexamer primers. cDNA and expression arrays comparing LADR with LAD2 gene expression were then prepared using RT-PCR according to manufacturers’ recommendations. Sequencing data was analyzed using Sequencher (Version 4.5, Softgenetics, State College, PA, USA).

Muscle rings were removed from biobot skeletons after force date collection and snap-frozen (5 min in liquid nitrogen). Samples were then stored at −80 °C and thawed on the day of RT-qPCR experiment. RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus RNA isolation kit (Qiagen), following the instructions provided. For quantitative PCR (qPCR), TaqMan fast advanced Master Mix, myogenic health PCR targets, and housekeeping gene, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), were added to cDNA. PCR was performed on QuantStudio3: 2 min at 50 °C, 2 min at 95 °C, 40 cycles of 1 s at 95 °C and 20 s at 60 °C. Cycle threshold (Ct) values were obtained to calculate changes in expression level using by the 2−ΔΔCt method.32 (link)

Muscle rings were flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen. The rings were homogenized by vortexing in RLT buffer (Qiagen) with 10 uL mL−1 B-mercaptoethanol, and centrifuged using the QIAshredder (Qiagen) column. RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Plus RNA isolation kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA synthesis was done using the qScript cDNA SuperMix (Quanta Biosciences) from 100 ng of RNA and reactions were performed as directed by the supplier. For RT-qPCR, SsoFast EvaGreen Supermix (Bio-Rad) was added to cDNA and primers targeting the genes of interest and GAPDH (Table S1, Supporting Information). The cycling parameters were 30 s at 95 °C, and 40 cycles of 5 s at 95 °C and 20 s at 55 °C, followed by melt-curve analysis of the product using a CFX Connect Real-Time System (Bio-Rad). Ct values were used to calculate changes in expression level, relative to GAPDH and control samples by the 2 -ΔΔCt method. Reaction efficiencies over the appropriate dynamic range were calculated to ensure linearity of the standard curve.

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.
