The PCR arrays "Wnt signaling targets" (PARN-243ZD), "Extracellular Matrix & Adhesion Molecules" (PARN-013ZD) and "Gap Junction" (PARN-144Z) were used to identify genes differentially expressed in OPCs after miR-125a-3p over-expression compared to negative control (See Supplementary material for the full gene list).
For each PCR array, cDNA synthesis was performed starting from 500 ng of DNase pre-treated total RNA using RT2 First Strand Kit (Qiagen), following manufacturer's protocol. RT2 Profiler PCR Array (SABiosciences) and RT2 SYBRgreen Mastermix (Qiagen) were used to measure gene expression levels. Each array includes five housekeeping genes, that enable normalization of data, a genomic DNA control, that specifically detects genomic DNA contamination, a reverse transcription control, that tests the efficacy of the reverse-transcription reaction and a positive PCR control, that tests the efficacy of the polymerase chain reaction itself. Data were analysed by RT2 Profiler PCR Array data analysis center v. 3.5 (Qiagen).

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.
