RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) was used to prepare total RNA from mouse tissues and cultured cells, and ReliaPrep RNA Tissue Miniprep System (Promega) from human samples. Reverse-transcription reaction was carried out with a High Capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems), after treatment with DNAse (Promega). Quantitative PCR analyses were performed using ABI Prism 7900, with TaqMan Gene Expression Master Mix or Power SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems). The relative expression levels were normalized by the expression level of Ppia (encoding Cyclophilin A) in samples of mouse tissues and cultured cells, control IgG and control upstream region in ChIP assays, and GAPDH in human samples, respectively. TaqMan Assays were purchased from Applied Biosystems: Hspa5 (BiP), Mm00517691_m1; Ddit3 (CHOP), Mm00492097_m1; Sdf2l1, Mm00452079_m1; Ero1lb, Mm00470754_m1; Pdia3, Mm00433130_m1; Sdf2, Mm00485985_m1; Pparg, Mm00440945_m1; Pten, Mm00477208_m1; Sod1, Mm01344233_g1; Sod2, Mm01313000_m1; Tnf, Mm99999068_m1; Ppara: Mm00627559_m1; Fasn, Mm00662319_m1; Acacb, Mm01204671_m1; Pck1: Mm00440636_m1.

To knock down BIP or CHOP in 661 W cells, we introduced either control siRNA (Negative Control Lo GC, Thermo Fisher Scientific), or Bip siRNA (Hspa5 MSS204938, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or Chop siRNA (Ddit3 MSS273951, Thermo Fisher Scientific), using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific), according to the manufacturer’s protocol, and incubated for 24 h before collecting the cells for experiments. To knock down SIRT3 in 661 W cells, we used Sirt3 shRNA (#NM_022433; Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) with Attractene Transfection Reagent (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. In brief, 661 W cell suspension and transfection complexes were mixed and seeded to 24-well plate, and then transfected cells are incubated for 48 h before the experiments.

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.
