Annealing of oligodT primers to the RNAs is performed by incubating at 65°C for 5min 12 μL of RNA mixed with 0.5 μL of 100 μM oligodT(15) and 0.5 μL of 10mM dNTPs followed by an incubation 5min on ice. cDNAs synthesis was performed by adding 4 μL of 5X second strand buffer, 1 μL 0.1M dTT, 1 μL H
2O, 0.5 μL
RNase inhibitor, and 0.5 μL
superscriptIII reverse transcriptase (InVitrogen, 18080093) to the RNA solution and incubating at 50°C for one hour. The reverse transcription is stopped by adding 80 μL of H
2O to the reaction and incubating 10 min at 70°C. For qPCR, 5 μL of cDNAs were mixed with 12.5 μL
SyberGreen (SIGMA, S9194), 7.22 μL H
2O, 0.14 μL each of Forward and Reverse primers (10 μM, see
Table S8). The qPCR reaction was then performed on
StepOnePlus System (applied biosystem) using the standard detection mode option.
