Quantitative PCR for Gene Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Quantitative PCR was performed as previously described [86 (link)]. Briefly, total RNA was extracted by RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (QIAGEN) and cDNA was obtained by qScript™ cDNA SuperMix (Quanta BioSciences, Inc.). Primers were designed for these loci with the sequences freely available from the Entrez Nucleotide database and the Primer3 algorithm for primer design (http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/cgi-bin/primer/primer3_www.cgi). The primers used for qPCR validation are listed in Supplementary Table 4. PerfeCTa® SYBR® Green FastMix® (Quanta BioSciences, Inc.) was used according to manufacturer’s instructions. PCR reactions were performed on Rotor-Gene RG-3000 Real Time PCR System (Qiagen), with 18S ribosomal RNA used as endogenous control. PCR volume was 20 μl, and conditions were as follow: initial cycle 50°C, 2 min, 95°C, 15 min; 45 cycles at 95°C, 20 s, 60°C, 20 s and 72°C, 20 s; final cycle 72°C, 30 s. Data were analyzed by the Rotor-Gene software using the comparative ΔΔCt method. The relative copy number was calculated based on the target gene/18S RNA ratio.

Total RNA from the tissue and cell samples was isolated by using TRIzol reagent, digested with DNase I, and reverse transcribed into the first-strand cDNAs with a PrimeScript™ RT Kit (TaKaRa). The expression of the gfLyz-C1 or gfLyz-C2 mRNAs was detected using SYBR Premix Ex Taq™ II (TaKaRa) in the RotorGene RG-3000 Real-Time PCR System (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Specific primers for gfLyz-C1 or gfLyz-C2 (Supplementary data 2) were designed based on the obtained cDNA sequences, and real-time PCRs were performed by using a SYBR Premix Ex Taq™ II (TaKaRa) under specific conditions (Supplementary data 2). EF-1α served as the internal control to verify the real-time PCR data. For the analysis of mRNA expression, the raw data were routinely normalized as the ratio of target gene to EF-1α mRNA detected in the same sample. Given that no significant differences in the expression of the EF-1α mRNA were observed in our experiments, the raw data were simply transformed as a percentage of the mean values in the control group for the statistical analysis. The data are expressed as the means ± SE and were analyzed by using Student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s least significant difference (LSD) test.

Total RNA from in vivo liver samples and in vitro hepatocytes samples was isolated by using TRIzol, digested with DNase I (Invitrogen), and reverse transcribed with a PrimeScript™ RT kit (TaKaRa). Transcriptional expression of leptin-AI and leptin-AII, leptin receptor, preproinsulin, IGF-I and IGF-II were detected using SYBR Premix Ex Taq™ II (TaKaRa) in the RotorGene RG-3000 Real-Time PCR System (Qiagen) with primers and PCR conditions as shown in Supplementary table 2. Serially diluted plasmid DNAs containing the ORF sequences for the target genes were used as the standards for the real-time PCRs. After reactions, the identity of the PCR products was routinely confirmed by analysis of melting curve. In this case, the PCR primers for leptin-AI or leptin-AII amplification were specific, without cross-interaction of the other isoform.

For measurement of L. vannamei Vg (AY321153), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (P38MAPK, JX990130), extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK, JN035901) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK, JN035903) gene expressions in the hepatopancreas and in the hepatopancreatic primary cells, total RNA was isolated by using the TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen), digested with DNase I (Invitrogen), and reversely transcribed by using a PrimeScript RT kit (TaKaRa). Transcriptional expression of target genes were detected using SYBR Premix Ex Taq II (TaKaRa) in the RotorGene RG-3000 real-time PCR System (Qiagen) with primers and PCR conditions as shown in S1 Table. Serially diluted plasmid DNAs containing the ORF sequences for the target genes were used as the standards for the real-time PCRs. After reactions, the identities of the PCR products were routinely confirmed by analysis of the melting curve. In this study, real-time PCR of L. vannamei β-actin (JF288784) was used as an internal control because no significant changes were noted for β-actin mRNA in our studies. The raw data of the target gene transcripts were expressed in terms of fmol detected per tube, and the data were routinely normalized as the ratio of β-actin mRNA detected in the same sample.

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.
