RTL-P assay was performed to detect the 2′-O-methylation level (Nm) of PARP1 according to published methods [13 (link), 14 (link)]. Briefly, 5 μg total RNA was incubated with low (1 μM) or high (1 mM) concentration of dNTPs (Takara) and 1 μl specific RT primers at 65 °C for 5 min and then placed on ice. The reaction was performed using 4 μl M-MLV RT 5 × buffer (PROMEGA), 1 μl 200 U/μl M-MLV Reverse Transcriptase (PROMEGA), 1 μl 0.1 M DTT (PROMEGA), and 1 μl 40 U/μl RNase inhibitor (PROMEGA) at 50 °C for 1 h, and then at 70 °C for 15 min. QRT-PCR was performed on the SYBR Prime X Ex-TAQ Patent II Suite (Takara) using PARP1-specific primers. The relative expression of the gene was calculated by comparing the period threshold (Ct) of the target gene in the experimental group and the control group at low concentrations according to the 2−ΔCt method.

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.
