In vivo tissue was homogenized in RLT Buffer (Qiagen) using a Bullet Blender (Next Advance, Averill Park, NY) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Organoids (see later) were lysed directly into RLT Buffer and vortexed until the solution was homogenous. RNA was purified using the RNEasy Mini RNA purification kit (Qiagen), and RNA was then transcribed to cDNA using the iScript RT Supermix (Bio-Rad, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) according to the manufacturer’s protocols.

Total RNA was extracted from the infected and negative control embryo fibroblast cells harvested at each time point using the RNeasy Mini RNA Purification Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Viral RNA was extracted from culture supernatants by using an RNA extraction kit (Takara, Japan). RNA in each sample was quantified using an Ultrospec 2000 mass spectrophotometer (Pharmacia Biotech, Uppsala, Sweden). Approximately 2 ug RNA from each sample was treated with DNase to remove genomic DNA and was later reverse-transcribed to cDNA using the SuperScript® III First-Strand Synthesis System (Clontech) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Whole RNA from fat body, hematopoietic organ, midgut, and hemocytes was isolated with an RNeasy Mini RNA purification kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Pooled tissue from four animals was used for each isolation. The RNA quality, purity, and concentration were evaluated spectrophotometrically with a NanoDrop 1000 (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, USA) and denaturing RNA electrophoresis. Prior to reverse transcription, the contaminating gDNA was removed by DNAse I digestion (DNAse I RNAse free, Thermo Fisher, Waltham, USA). 550 ng purified RNA of each sample was transcribed to cDNA with SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, USA) using oligo(dT)20 primers.

The RNeasy mini RNA purification kit (Qiagen, Manchester, UK) was used to purify mRNA from the RKO parental cell line and the irinotecan-resistant clones RSC316 and RSC526 according to the manufacturers details. The mRNA quality was verified by measuring 260/280 and 260/230 ratios using a Nanodrop (Wilmington, USA). The mRNA samples were subsequently sent to Cambridge Genomic Services (CGS, Cambridge, UK) for additional quality control prior to microarray analysis using a HumanHT-12 v4 WG-GX Beadchip on the Illumina BeadArray system. The data was returned in the format X and the real-fold change in mRNA levels calculated using the equation 2X.

Total cellular RNAs were extracted using the RNeasy Mini RNA Purification kit (Qiagen). cDNAs were synthesized using the RT2 First Strand kit (Qiagen). The RT2 SYBR Green ROX qPCR mastermix (Qiagen) was used for quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). The following primers specific for CT-RCC HERV-E envelope gene were designed for qRT-PCR analysis: forward primer 5’-GGAGTAATAACAGTATTAGGAACCTGCT-3’ and reverse primer 5’-CTTGTGCTGAACTATTTTGGTGAATT-3’. For detection of env gene expression in human normal tissues, human 48 Tissue RapidScan gene expression cDNA panel (Origene) was used as a template.

Total RNA was extracted from kidneys' tissue from infected groups at 7 dpi using an RNeasy Mini RNA Purification Kit and RNase-Free DNase Kit (QIAGEN) for RNA purification according to the manufacturer's instructions. The expression of different cytokines was quantified by reverse transcription real-time PCR (RT-PCR) using relative quantification. The primers and probes used in this study have been described previously: IL-6, IFN-γ and 28srRNA (13) and have been described in table 1.
Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed using Quantitect probe RT-PCR (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Real-Time RT-PCR was carried out using a 7500 Real-time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). PCR conditions were the same for each cytokine gene, as follows: 30 min at 50 C, 95 _C for 15 min, followed by 40 cycles of 95 _C for 15 sand 60 _C for 1 min.
Statistical analysis for fold changes in cytokine levels were determined by the ΔΔCt method (Livak and Schmittgen, 2001) (link), using 28S ribosomal RNA as the endogenous reference gene to normalize the level of the target gene expression.

Cultured NK cells were purified using MACS purification EasySep™ Mouse NK cell isolation kit (Stemcell technologies, Vancouver, Canada), prior to stimulation. RNA was isolated using the RNeasy RNA purification mini kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany), according to manufacturer’s protocol. From purified RNA, cDNA was synthesized using the reverse-transcriptase kit qScript cDNA synthesis kit (Quanta Biosciences, Beverly, MA, USA). Real time PCR was performed in triplicates in a 96-well plate using iQ SYBR Green-based detection on an ABI 7900HT fast qPCR machine. For the analysis of mRNA levels the derived values were normalized to the average of values obtained from the mRNA analysis of 3 different house-keeping genes- RPLP0, GAPDH, and HPRT.

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.
