Human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) (JCRB9068, JCRB Cell Bank) and TIG-1 (spontaneously developed diploid fibroblast cell lines of fetal lung [JCRB0501, JCRB Cell Bank]) cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM, Nacalai Tesque) with 10% supplemented with fetal bovine serum (Gibco). Human primary lung (PCS-201-013, ATCC), adult dermal (PCS-201-012, ATCC) and neonatal dermal cells (PCS-201-010, ATCC) were cultured in the recommended media. Cells were maintained at 37°C in a humidified chamber supplemented with 5% CO2. For tRNAseq and northern blot, 3.0–6.0 × 106 cells were seeded on 100 mm dishes using a culture medium. For i-tRAP and RT-qPCR, 4.0–8.0 × 105 cells were seeded on six well plates.
For amino acid starvation, cells were cultured in amino acid­–free DMEM (Wako) supplemented with 0.5% dialyzed fetal bovine serum (Gibco) for indicated time. Amino acid supplementation was conducted using MEM essential amino acids solution, MEM nonessential amino acids solution, and 200 mM glutamine solution (Wako) for the indicated time.
Small RNA was extracted from cells using Isogen II reagent (Nippongene) and Ethachinmate (Nippongene) according to manufacturer's instruction.

Total RNA were extracted from liver, pancreas, semitendinosus muscle and vastus intermedius muscle using Isogen II reagent according to the manufacturer's instructions (NIPPON GENE Inc., Tokyo, Japan). cDNA templates were synthesized with the Superscript III RT kit (Invitrogen, Co., Carlsabad, CA) using random primers. The quantitative real-time PCR was performed in duplicate using the Thermal Cycler Dice Real Time System Single (Takara Bio Inc., Siga, Japan) to assay specific 5HTR1A, 5HTR1B, 5HTR1D, 5HTR1E, 5HTR1F, 5HTR2A, 5HTR2B, 5HTR2C, 5HTR3A, 5HTR3B, 5HTR4, 5HTR5A and 5HTR7 mRNA levels. The sequences of primers and sizes of each PCR product are listed in Table 1. The typical reaction cycles consisted of an initial denaturation step 95°C for 30 sec followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 5 sec and annealing at 60 to 64°C for 30 sec. The resolution curve was measured at 95°C for 15 sec, 60°C for 15 sec and 95°C for 15 sec. Quantification of the RT-PCR products was normalized to the endogenous housekeeping gene (18s) expression.

RNA-seq was performed as previously described [9 (link)]. Total RNA was extracted using ISOGEN II reagent (Nippon Gene), according to the manufacturer's protocol. RNA quality was confirmed using the Agilent RNA 6000 Nano kit with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer instrument (Agilent Technologies). RNA-seq libraries were generated using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA LT Sample Prep kit (Illumina) and sequenced with the MiSeq system (Illumina). Sequences were mapped to the human genome (GRCh38) with the Illumina Analysis Pipeline. The gene expression level was quantified by the number of uniquely mapped reads per kilobase of exon per million mapped reads (RPKM) using the Partek® Genomics Suite. Gene expression level determination and gene ontology (GO) analysis were also performed with the Partek® Genomics Suite. Significantly enriched GO functional groups were defined as having an enrichment score ≥3 (P value < 0.05). All RNA-seq data can be found online in the NCBI GEO submission (GSE157165).

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.
