Mycelial RNA extraction and purification of biological triplicates were carried out as described previously (Ries et al. 2016 (link)). cDNA was synthesized from 1 μg RNA using the Superscript III Reverse Transcriptase kit (Invitrogen) according to manufacturer’s instructions. RT-qPCR reactions of the biological triplicates were carried out in technical duplicates as previously described (Ries et al. 2016 (link)). Briefly, 20 μl reactions containing 1 μl cDNA or 1 μl of known standard curve DNA, 10 μl SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (AB Applied Biosystems) and 15 pmol/μl forward and reverse primers were carried out in technical triplicates in the 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR thermocycler and gene expression by absolute quantification was analyzed using the 7500 Fast system v.1.4.0 (AB Applied Biosystems).

Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reactions (qRT-PCR) were performed for 98 samples (78 pooled tracheal and cloacal swabs, and 20 tissue samples) by targeting the matrix (M) gene conserved regions. A forward primer M+4100-5’-AGT GAT GTG CTC GGA CCT TC-3, ‘reverse primer M4220-5’CCT GAG GAG AGG CAT TTG CTA-3’ and a Probe of M+4100- 5’FAM- TTC TCT AGC AGT GGG ACA GCC-TAMRA-3’5 (link) were used for M-gene assay. The amplification process was performed by using an Applied Biosystems 7500 fast real-time PCR thermocycler. In addition, conventional PCR was performed using NDV strain positive samples that were identified by qRT-PCR using a second primer set targeting the F gene (270 bp size cleavage site motif region) with NOH-5’-TAC ACC TCA TCC CAG ACA GG-3 ‘forward primer and NOH-5’- AGT CGG AGG ATG TTG GCA GC −3’ reverse primer sequences for sequencing the PCR product to precisely detect the NDV strain for its genotype characterization. Gel electrophoresis was performed by preparing a 2% agarose gel supplied with a power and Gel doc system that was connected for imaging (Gel DocTM XR+, version 5.0 of Molecular Image Lab software) at Animal Health Institute.

For mRNA expression, total RNA, including short RNAs, were extracted from whole spinal cords (WT mice or ALS pre-symptomatic or symptomatic mice) using the miRNeasy® Mini Kit (QIAGEN). One μg of extracted RNA was reverse transcribed with the SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System for RT-PCR (Invitrogen). mRNA levels of TrkC isoforms and TNF-α were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR using SYBR Green I (Quanta) in an 7500 FAST real-time PCR thermocycler (Applied Biosystems) and thermal cycling was performed as follows: 94° C for 30 sec, followed by 40 cycles at 94° C for 5 sec, 60° C for 30 sec. Specific primers were designed for the two TrkC isoforms and TNF-α. GAPDH or β-tubulin III were used as housekeeping genes (Table 1). Data are expressed as the mean relative quantification (RQ) ± SEM (n = 8 individual mice per group). WT samples were used as a calibrator (RQ = 1).

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.
