In order to characterise the level of transcript accumulation of the selected genes, RT-qPCR was performed using a LightCycler® 480 SYBR Green I Master in a LightCycler® 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The total RNA was isolated from the leaves of B. distachyon. The primers used in this research are shown in Table A1. The genes encoding extensins with their division into classes were as previously described [19 (link)]. The FLA genes were selected based on the annotation found in the Phytozome database (https://phytozome.jgi.doe.gov/pz/portal.html). The detailed procedure for RT-qPCR was as in Betekhtin, et al. [72 (link)]. Briefly, the isolated RNA were treated with the DNase (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany), and subsequently used for first-strand cDNA generation. Samples were run in the LightCycler® 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The PCR conditions were as follow: 5 min at 95 °C, 45 cycles of 10 s at 95 °C, 20 s at 60 °C and 10 s at 72 °C with signal acquisition. Ubiquitin was used as the reference gene and analysis was performed using the 2−∆∆CT method. The significant differences between the samples and control were calculated using the Student’s t-test.

Example 5

Quantitative Real Time PCR (Q-PCR)

Cells were homogenized using 1 ml of TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif., USA), and total RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer's protocol. cDNA was synthesized using RevertAid™ First Strand cDNA synthesis kit (#K1621 Fermentas, Canada) from 1 μg of total RNA. Quantitative real time PCR amplifications were performed in The LightCycler® 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche Diagnostics, USA) using LightCycler SYBR Green (Roche Diagnostics, USA) according to the manufacturer's instruction. The sequences of primer sets for Smurf1, Smurf2, RunX2, BMP-2, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN), Collagen I (Coll) and GAPDH mRNAs, target sites on mRNAs and product sizes by PCR are shown in FIG. 6. The quantity of each sample was normalized using the CT (threshold cycle) value obtained for the GAPDH mRNA amplifications.

Results: WFA at 10 nM treatment of MCOs increased expression of osteogenic genes. FIG. 9 shows increased expression of RunX2, OCN and Col I with WFA treatment. Expression was normalized to GAPDH internal control. Values represent Mean±S. E of three independent experiments (n=3). *p<0.05, *** p<0.001 compared with vehicle control group (FIG. 6). From this data it can be concluded that WFA increases expression of mineralizing genes and thus mineralization of osteoblast.

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.
