Next, 500 ng of RNA was used to make cDNAs with the PrimeScript RT Master Mix (Cat#RR036A, Takara Bio), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cDNAs, as templates, were diluted at ×10 using Milli-Q water and subjected to qPCR assay based on SYBR Green dye. The extracted total RNA was also subjected to total RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).

The primer sequences used for the detection of human circRNAs were designed based on circRNA conservation analysis using the Primer Assay Program (Biosen, China). GAPDH was used as a control. Primer sequences for human circRNAs are shown as Supplementary Table S1.

PAs and PVs were de-endothelialized, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and mechanically homogenized. Total RNA was isolated from the tissues and cells using RNAiso Blood (Takara Bio, Inc., Otsu, Japan), according to the manufacturer's protocols. RT-qPCR experiments followed standard protocols. RNA (1 µg) was first reverse transcribed to cDNA with random primers using the RT Master Mix kit (Takara Biotechnology, Dalian, China). RT-PCR was performed by using the PrimeScript RT reagent kit (Takara Biotechnology) and the T100 Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The RT-PCR cycling conditions were as follows: 37°C for 15 min, 85°C for 5 sec and 4°C for holding. Real-time PCR experiments followed standard protocols using the SYBR Green I qPCR kit (Takara Biotechnology). The PCR cycling conditions were as follows: 95°C for 30 sec, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 5 sec and 60°C for 31 sec. The relative mRNA quantities of target genes were normalized to the values of β-actin. The results were expressed as fold changes of threshold cycle value relative to the controls using the 2−ΔΔCq method (36 (link)).

RNA was extracted from mouse whole blood and kidney samples using RNAiso Blood (TaKaRa Bio) and ISOGEN II (Nippon Gene Co., Ltd., Toyama, Japan) kits, respectively, and from mouse CD4+ (in spleen) and human CD3+ T cells (in PBMCs) using an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands). The methods of quantification of mRNA expression levels and qRT-PCR analysis of CD3+ T cell-derived samples were the same as our previous report [8 (link)]. The expression levels of mouse Actb and human TFRC were used as internal controls for the CD4+ and CD3+ T cell samples, respectively. All primers are shown in Additional file 2: Table S3.

exRNA samples were isolated from 5 to 10 mL TCM, lung TCM, liver TCM, and human lung EC-CMs using RNAiso Blood (Takara) with Ethachinmate (Nippon Gene). Total RNA samples were isolated from cells using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and used to generate cDNA with reverse transcriptase (SuperScript VILO, Invitrogen). For the reverse transcription with GSP, SuperScript III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) was used. cDNA from exRNA was amplified using TaqMan PreAmp Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) before qPCR analysis. qPCR was performed using SYBR Green Master Mix or TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) in a detection system (StepOnePlus; Applied Biosystems). The gene expression levels were calculated from Ct values, and the relationship between the Ct value and the logarithm of the copy number of the target gene was confirmed to be linear using serial dilutions of the corresponding isolated DNA as a standard. In addition, gene expression levels of nuclear and cytoplasmic samples were normalized to that of Hotair and βactin, respectively.

TCMs and lung CM that serum-free cocultured with or without TCMs (lung TCM/CM) were centrifuged 300 × g for 5 min, and the supernatants were further centrifuged 3000 × g for 10 min and filtered. Exosomes can be fractionated by size-exclusion chromatography, ultracentrifugation, magnetic bead pull-down assay, and polymer precipitation66 (link). Among them, ExoQuick-TC (System Biosciences), a polymer used to precipitate exosomes, is the best method to eliminate exosomes from CM.
The samples were treated by ExoQuick-TC (System Biosciences) overnight and then centrifuged 1500 × g for 30 min. The supernatants were further centrifuged 20,000 × g. The resulting supernatants were treated by RNAiso Blood (Takara Bio) to obtain RNA as extraexosome RNA. The exosome pellets were washed by PBS and treated by Trizol reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to isolate exosome RNA. All procedures were carried out at 4 °C.

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.
