RNA Extraction and Real-Time PCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We extracted total RNA from cells with a Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions [29 (link)]. We used a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (EuroClone, Milan, Italy) to check RNA yield and purity, and MoloneyMurine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (Sigma-Aldrich) to transcribe the total RNA into cDNA from each sample. Using SensiFAST SYBR Hi-Rox (Bioline, LABGENE SCIENTIFIC SAZI, Châtel-Saint-Denis, Switzerland), we performed Real-time PCR on a StepOne™ Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). To quantify gene expression, we used the comparative Ct method (DDCt), and the relative quantification was estimated as 2-∆∆Ct. Melting curve analysis excluded the presence of non-specific amplification products. The forward and reverse primer sequences are shown in Table 1.

Extraction of total RNA was carried out using RNA STAT-60 reagent for guanidinium thiocyanate–phenol–chloroform extraction (AMS Biotechnology, Abingdon, UK), following the manufacturer’s recommended protocol. Any potential DNA contaminations were eliminated from the extracted RNA by DNase I treatment (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) prior to cDNA synthesis. The DNase I–treated RNA was used for first-strand cDNA synthesis by Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Sigma-Aldrich). Changes in gene expression were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction with the ABI StepOne Plus Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) using SYBR Green JumpStart Taq ReadyMix (Sigma-Aldrich). Primer Express software (Applied Biosystems) was used to design specific primers for each gene. Sequences of the gene-specific primers are listed in Table 1. The resulting data were analyzed using StepOne software (version 2.3; Applied Biosystems). All primers were tested for efficiency, and the comparative cycle threshold method was used to analyze the relative changes in gene expression. Cycle threshold values for all target genes were normalized to constitutively expressed ribosomal protein L19 and also to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase for amnion and myometrial cells, respectively.

Total RNA was extracted from cells with a Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, United States) according to the manufacturer’s instructions [46 (link)]. RNA yield and purity were checked using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (EuroClone, Milan, Italy), and total RNA from each sample was reverse transcribed into cDNA using Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Reverse Transcriptase (Sigma-Aldrich). Real-time PCR was performed on a StepOne™ Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) using SensiFAST SYBR Hi-Rox (Bioline, LABGENE SCIENTIFIC SAZI, Châtel-Saint-Denis, Switzerland). The comparative Ct method (ΔΔCt) was used to quantify gene expression, and the relative quantification was calculated as 2−ΔΔCt. The presence of non-specific amplification products was excluded by melting curve analysis. Statistical analyses on real-time PCR data were performed using the Relative Expression Software Tool (REST2009, Qiagen, Venlo, The Netherlands) [47 (link)]. The forward and reverse primer sequences are shown in Table 1.

For GLUT1 mRNA quantification, total RNA was extracted from vascular cells after 18 h of treatment using a commercial kit (RNeasy, Qiagen; Crawley, UK) and quantified by absorbance at 260 nm. Aliquots of 1 µg RNA were reverse-transcribed using Moloney murine leukemia virus-reverse transcriptase (Sigma). The resulting cDNA was amplified using a human GLUT1 gene-specific relative RT-PCR kit (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA) containing an 18S internal standard, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reaction was conducted in a Peltier PTC100 thermocycler (M&J Research, Waltham, MA, USA) with an initial denaturation step at 95 °C for 3 min, followed by 23 cycles each consisting of incubation at 94 °C for 30 s, 59 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s. Aliquots of the resulting PCR were loaded on 2 % agarose gels containing ethidium bromide, the resulting bands were visualized under ultraviolet light and quantified using NIH Image free software.

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.
