RT-qPCR was performed following the guidelines of the Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Real-Time PCR Experiments (MIQE) [32 (link)]. Each reaction was performed in 10 μL reactions including 2 μL of a 1:30 dilution of cDNA template, 2 μM of each primer, and 5 μL of SYBR Green (Takara). Amplified signals were monitored continuously with the Rotor Gene 3000 Real-Time Thermal Cycler (Qiagen). The amplification protocol was as follows: 5 min of denaturation and enzyme activation at 95°C, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15 s, 55°C for 20 s, and 72°C for 15 s. Three biological replicates for each sample, and four technical replicates of each biological replicate, were used.

The cDNA was synthesized using 1 μg of total RNA from each sample as template using Retroscript Kit (Life Technologies). Real-time qRT-PCR was performed with Quantitect SYBR green PCR Kit (Qiagen) using primers designed for five glycosylation-related genes: solute carrier family 35 (CMP-sialic acid transporter) [Slc35a1], ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 3 [St3gal3], ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 4 [St3gal4], ST3 beta-galactoside alpha-2,3-sialyltransferase 6 [St3gal6], β(1,4)-galactosyltransferase [B4galt1], and two endogenous control genes: Actin, beta (Actb) and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gapdh) in a Rotor-Gene 3000 Real-Time Thermal Cycler (Qiagen). Primer sequences are listed in Table 1. Relative gene expression levels were calculated using 2−ΔΔCT method with Gapdh as an internal standard (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001 (link)). Both Gapdh and Actb did not changed throughout the study (ANOVA, p > 0.05), as expected.

mRNA was isolated with TRIZOL (Invitrogen (Burlington, On, Canada) according to the manufacturer guidelines. 250 ng of mRNA was subjected to reverse transcription using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit. Quantitative PCR amplifications were performed using the QuantiTect SYBR Green PCR Kit in a Rotor-Gene 3000 Real-Time Thermal Cycler (Corbett Research, Sydney, Australia). For each gene tested, 35 amplification cycles at 59° C (annealing) were used. The primer sequences are summarized in Supplementary Table 1. Relative gene expression was evaluated using 3 reference genes: HPRT1, Ppia and H2afz [56 (link)]. Relative gene expression was calculated using the delta-delta CT method [57 (link)].

Total RNA were extracted using the RNAqueous-96 Isolation Kit (Ambion) and quantified. Reverse transcription was performed using 1 μg total RNA using the Quantitect reverse Transcription kit (Qiagen). Specific mRNA levels were quantified by qPCR using Fast start SYBR Green Kit (Roche) for SeV N (S: agtatgggaggaccacagaatgg, AS: ccttcaccaacacaatccagacc). A reaction without RT and a reaction with H2O were performed with each run to ensure absence of genomic DNA contamination. Fluorescence was collected using the Rotor-Gene 3000 Real Time Thermal Cycler (Corbett Research). Results were analyzed by the ΔΔCT method after normalization to S9 mRNA levels (S: cgtctcgaccaagagctga, AS: ggtccttctcatcaagcgtc).

Quantifying NOX/DUOX Isoforms in Breast Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA from MCF-7 and ZR75.1 cells was prepared using the RNAqueous-96 Isolation Kit (Ambion). Total RNA from primary breast tumors was prepared as described in [37 (link)]. Total RNA was subjected to reverse transcription using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen). Quantitative PCR amplifications of IKKε, NOX2, NOX5, S9 and β-actin genes were performed using the Fast start SYBR Green Kit (Roche) in a Rotor-Gene 3000 Real-Time Thermal Cycler (Corbett Research). Absence of genomic DNA contamination was analyzed using a reaction without reverse transcriptase. Gene expression normalized over actin or S9 was analyzed using the ΔΔ Cycle threshold (Ct) method [38] (link) or as absolute mRNA copy numbers using plasmid-based standard curves as described in [39] (link). RT-PCR analysis of NOX/DUOX isoforms expression was performed as previously described [35] (link). Positive controls were used for each gene, as follows: total RNA from colon was used for NOX1; total RNA from DMSO-differentiated HL60 was used for NOX2; total RNA from human fetal kidney was used for NOX3; total RNA from MRC-5 were used for NOX4; total RNA from human spleen was used for NOX5; total RNA from human thyroid was used for DUOX1 and DUOX2. Human thyroid total RNA, human fetal kidney total RNA, human colon total RNA, and human spleen total RNA were purchased from BD Clontech.

Total RNA was prepared using the RNAqueous-96 Isolation Kit (Invitrogen-Thermo Fisher, Carlsbad, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Total RNA (1 µg) was subjected to reverse transcription using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen, Toronto, ON, Canada). Quantitative PCR were performed using either Fast start SYBR Green Kit (Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) for MX1, IDO, APOBEC3G, CXCL10, NOD2, PKR, IRF1, IFIT1 and IL8 or TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (Life Technologies-Thermo Fisher) for DUOX2, IFI27, SERPINB2, IL33, CCL20, ISG20. Sequences of oligonucleotides and probes used in PCR reactions are described in Supplemental Table S4. Data collection was performed on a Rotor-Gene 3000 Real Time Thermal Cycler (Corbett Research, Mortlake, Australia). Gene inductions were normalized over S9 levels, measured using Fast start SYBR Green Kit or TaqMan probe as necessary. Fold induction of genes was determined using the ΔΔCt method [19 (link)]. All qRT-PCR data are presented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM).

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.
