RNA extraction was carried out using RNAiso (Takara) following the instructions of the manufacturer. Extracted RNAs were treated with DNaseI (Takara) to remove contaminating genomic DNA, and further purified using RNAiso. Total RNA was further purified by poly-A selection in some experiments. Total RNA and poly-A selected RNA were analyzed by Northern blotting using DIG-labeled cRNA probe according to the manufacturers’ instructions (Roche). Reverse transcription (RT) was performed with 2 µg of total RNA, oligo dT (20 mer) and ReverTra Ace (TOYOBO). The resulting cDNA was subjected to qPCR in a Roche LightCycler with SYBR Premix Ex Taq (Takara). Primers are listed in Text S1.

Real-time reverse transcription-PCR was performed as previously described (Akatsu et al., 2015) . In brief, each region of the left hemisphere was homogenized in RNAiso (Takara Bio, Shiga, Japan) and total RNA was isolated using RNAiso (Takara Bio), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The isolated 1 µg of total RNA was reverse-transcribed using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). PCR was performed using the Thermal Cycler Dice Real Time TP800 System (Takara Bio) with SYBR Premix Ex Taq II (Takara Bio). The thermal cycling conditions comprised an initial step at 95℃ for 10 sec, followed by 50 cycles at 95℃ for 5 sec and at 60℃ for 30 sec. Table 1 lists the primer sequences. The BDNF, GluR1, and GluR2 genes have splicing variants. The primers we used are designed to capture all the splicing variants. The 5-HT 1A receptor, GABA A receptor α2 and α3 subunits, and 18S rRNA genes do not have any splicing variants. The sizes of the PCR products were verified using agarose gel electrophoresis. Quantitation was performed using the crossing point method. The data was normalized to 18S rRNA.

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.
