The procedures were previously described in detail18. In brief, hair follicle cells were collected before each examination by pulling out the roots of scalp hairs. Two to 10 hair follicles were quickly soaked in lysis buffer (RNAqueous‐Micro Kit; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Total ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted and purified using an RNAqueous‐Micro Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions, and a 100 ng quantity of total RNA was reverse‐transcribed using a SuperScript VILO cDNA Synthesis Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The messenger RNA (mRNA) of clock genes (Dbp, E4bp4, Bmal1, Clock, Nr1d1 and Per2) was quantified by real‐time polymerase chain reaction using a Taqman MGB probe (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA) and a 1/20 volume of the reverse transcription product. mRNA expressions were normalized using 18S rRNA expression. The relative expression value of each gene at 20.00 hours was calculated by dividing the value at 20.00 hours by the value at 0.8.00 hours for each individual.

For each case, the breast pathologist identified tumor areas for laser microdissection from H&E stained slides. Two to five serial sections (8 μm thick) were cut, mounted on glass PEN foil slides (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany), stained using the LCM staining kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and laser microdissected on an ASLMD laser microdissection system (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). Slide preparation, staining and cutting were performed within a 15 min period to preserve RNA integrity. RNA was then isolated using the RNAqueous-Micro kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and treated with DNase I to remove any contaminating genomic DNA. RNA integrity was assessed using the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA), converted to biotin-labeled aRNA using two rounds of amplification with the MessageAmpII aRNA Amplification kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA), and the concentration and quality of the samples was measured with the NanoDrop 1000 (NanoDrop Products, Wilmington, DE) and 2100 Bioanalyzer. Hybridization with manufacturer provided hybridization controls, washing, staining and scanning of HG U133A 2.0 arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) were conducted according to manufacturer’s protocols [28 ].

Product purity was verified by melting curve analysis. The ΔCt value for each gene was determined by dividing the gene Ct value by the mean Ct value of three housekeeping genes. The 2-ΔΔCt method was used to analyze data and the change in gene expression levels were reported as fold change.

Lumbosacral DRG neurons (L5-S1) were homogenized using a MagNa Lyser Instrument (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) and 1.4 mm ceramic beads (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany)). Total RNA was extracted from L5-S1 DRG tissue using the RNAqueous®-Micro kit (Applied Biosystems, Bedford, MA, USA). An aliquot of each RNA sample was run on a denaturing agarose gel to assess integrity. Intact RNA was then quantified by NanoDrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), followed by treatment with DNase. DNase-treated RNA (500 ng) was reverse transcribed using the NZY M-MuLV First-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (NZYtech, Lisbon, Portugal), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. cDNA was diluted and stored at −20 °C for later use.

RNA Isolation from Arabidopsis Shoot Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All analyzed shoot samples for the 1 g controls were from seed cassettes in position 3 of each EC. For PS, position 3 corresponded to 0.76 g and for PRR position 3 corresponded to 1 g (Supplementary Figure 1). For each RNA isolation, seed cassettes were processed singly as follows. A single seed cassette was retrieved from the freezer, and the cover was removed. The cassette base was placed on a chilled platform, and RNA-later (Thermo Fisher Cat. No. AM7021) was added. The seedlings were dissected into root and shoot fractions and stored at 4°C in RNA-later for 24 hours, followed by storage at -20°C until RNA isolation. RNA was isolated from each shoot sample using the RNAqueous Micro kit (Applied Biosystems Cat No. AM1931). RNA recovery and integrity were monitored by Bioanalyzer (Agilent 2100). For the PRR shoot samples, the RNA isolation protocol was modified in order to retain the small RNA fraction as well.

Two weeks before the transfection, chicken FS101 and FS111 PS PGC lines were thawed. After two weeks in the culture, PGCs were collected by centrifugation and plated to 96-well plates (1000 cells/well). Next day, the cells were transfected with anti-miR-302b-5P and anti-miR-302b-3P vectors (at 100 nM final concentration) (Supplementary Table 1) (Applied Biosystems, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, US) using a siPORT™ (Applied Biosystems, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, US) transfection agent according to the manufacturer's instructions. Three 96-well plates (as biological replicates), with 6-6 parallel wells, were prepared for each condition. The proliferation rate of treated and control cells was measured using CCK-8 reagent (1 : 10, Dojindo Laboratories, Japan) every day, for 3 days. For detailed RNA expression analysis, cells were harvested in lysis buffer of RNAqueous®-Micro Kit (Applied Biosystems, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, US) 48 hours following the transfection.

RNA isolation was performed following RNAqueous Micro kit (Life Technologies) directions, including optional DNAse treatment. SoLo RNA-Seq System (NuGEN) was used to construct cDNA libraries, following manufacturer’s directions. Libraries were screened for quality on a Bioanalyzer (Agilent). No more than 50% of the NuGEN libraries were pooled with other TruSeq libraries to maintain the sequence diversity. Using TruSeq SR Cluster Kit v3, at 15 pM the libraries were clustered onto the flow cell and sequenced on HiSeq 1000 (Illumina) using Illumina standard sequencing primer. At single read 1× 51 bp setting, at least 45 million reads per sample were generated.

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.
