Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells of E. caudatum MZG-1 were collected from a clonal monoculture of E. caudatum that was initially established from a single cell isolated from the rumen of gerenuk [36 (link)]. It was kindly given to us by Dr. Dehority (deceased). This monoculture does not have detectable fungus. Frozen stock cultures of E. caudatum MZG-1 were cryopreserved at − 80 °C and have been used in a number of studies [9 (link), 69 (link), 74 , 75 (link)]. The E. caudatum MZG-1 monoculture was fed a mixed feed containing ground wheat grain, ground alfalfa, and ground grass hays and maintained in SP medium [9 (link)]. The feeding and transfer procedures were conducted under a continuous stream of CO2 to protect the ciliate cells from exposure to oxygen. Total RNA was isolated from an actively growing E. caudatum MZG-1 monoculture after six hours of incubation at 39 °C after transferring to fresh SP medium containing the mixed feed. Total RNA was extracted using the Ribozol RNA extraction reagent (Amresco, Inc., Solon, OH) and then cleaned up using the RNeasy® mini kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen, Inc., Valencia, CA). mRNA was enriched using the Oligo Direct mRNA Mini Kit (Qiagen). One library was constructed for 2 × 100 paired-end sequencing from the mRNA and then sequenced following the manufacturer’s protocol on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 system.

Blood samples (5 ml) were withdrawn 2 times during the study: 1- at the time of diagnosis (pre-therapy), 2- after receiving therapy (post-therapy such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiotherapy). Blood samples (2 ml) were allowed to clot at room temp for 45 min and centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 5 min. Buffy coat was removed and serum was collected in microcentrifuge tubes (MCT) and kept at −80 °C until use.
Three milliliters of blood sample was taken in heparin coated vacutainers for real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis. After withdrawing blood, vials were kept on rocker for 30 min to maintain the room temperature, PBMC were isolated using Histopaque (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) density gradient centrifugation method following manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated PBMCs were used for total RNA isolation through Trizol method using RiboZol RNA extraction reagent (Amresco, USA). The purity, integrity, and quantification of the RNA samples were analyzed using the Bioanalyser (Agilent Technologies, USA).

The whole ischemia-reperfusion treated left kidneys were used to obtain mRNA with a RiboZol RNA extraction reagent (AMRESCO, VWR life science, Radnor, PA, USA). Reverse transcription was done with a QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using the ready-to-use mix of enzyme and SYBR Green qEvaGreen (qARTA Bio, Inc., Carson, CA, USA) in a Lightcycler 96 analyzer (Roche Molecular Systems, Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA). The expression of kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1), IL-6, CD31, HIF-1α, VEGF, VEGF-R2 and CTD genes in the ischemia-reperfusion treated left kidney was determined using specific oligonucleotides (Table 1). The amplification conditions were as follows: 10 s at 95 °C, 30 s at primer-specific annealing temperature and 30 s at 72 °C for 40 cycles. Relative expression for each gene was quantified using the 2-ΔΔCt threshold method. Hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) mRNA was used as a housekeeping gene.

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.
