Monitoring repair kinetics by qPCR was performed as described previously [50 (link)]. Single colonies were inoculated in 5 ml of media lacking leucine with 2% dextrose and grown overnight at 30°C. Overnight cultures were then diluted into 600 ml of YPLac and grown into log phase. DSBs were induced by adding 20% galactose to a final concentration of 2%. To track the dynamics of DSB repair 50 ml aliquots of each culture was collected every hour over 9 h. DNA was isolated using a MasterPureTM Yeast DNA Purification Kit (Epicentre cat. MPY80200). The repair product, MATa-inc, was amplified using primers MATp13 and MATYp4 with a SYBR Green Master Mix using a Qiagen Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR machine. To quantify the relative amount of MATa-inc in each sample, SLX4 was used as a reference gene and was amplified using primers NS047-Slx4p7 and Slx4p1. Primer sequences are shown in (S2 Table).

The real-time RT-PCR was conducted using the iScript™ One-Step RT-PCR kit (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) with the Rotor-Gene Q Real Time PCR machine (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA). The samples were assayed in a 25 µL reaction containing 2 µmol/L of forward primer (CHIK/E1/10367/+: 5′-CTCATACCGCATCCGCATCAG-3′), 2 µmol/L of reverse primer (CHIK/E1/10495/-: 5′-ACATTGGCCCCACAATGAATTTG-3′), 5 µL of extracted RNA, 0.25 µL of RNA transcriptase, and 12.5 µL of SYBR® Green Premix. The concentrations of Taq polymerase, buffer, dNTPs, and Mg2+ used were based on the recommendations of the manufacturer. The RT-PCR thermal cycling condition comprised 30 min of reverse transcription step at 50 °C, 15 min of initial denaturation at 95 °C, followed by 40 cycles of amplification steps of denaturation at 95 °C for 30 s, annealing at 55.8 °C for 45 s, extension at 72 °C for 60 s, and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. A melting curve was generated after the amplification step at 70–99 °C. A standard curve was constructed by using the synthesized RNA standard with copy numbers ranging from 100 to 1010.

Total RNA was extracted using miRNeasy_Mini RNA Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Hamburg, Germany) according to the manufacturer's procedures and stored at −80°C until use. cDNA was synthesized with miScript II RT Kit (Qiagen, Hamburg, Germany). The expression levels of miRNA-124 were determined using the SYBR Green Master Mix Kit (Ampliqon, Odense, Denmark), and the expression levels of potential miRNA-124 targets, STAT-3, SP-1, and SOCS5, were conducted by applying SYBR green Master Mix on a Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR machine (Qiagen, Hamburg, Germany). The expression levels of STAT-3, SOCS5, and SP1 were normalized to the GAPDH gene, and miR-124 expression was normalized to U6 snRNA as an endogenous control by using 2−ΔΔCt method. The gene-specific primer sets for STAT-3, SOCS5, and SP1 and GAPDH as a housekeeping gene were designed using the NCBI Primer-Blast Tool. The primer mix of U6 and miR-124 was provided from Exiqon (Vedbaek, Denmark). All results are representative of three independent experiments.

According to the recommendations of the Taiwan CDC and WHO guidelines, the SARS-CoV-2 screening and confirmatory assays were performed by targeting the envelope (E) and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) viral genes. In accordance with the protocol suggested by the Taiwan CDC, one-step real-time RT-PCR was performed using the primer and probe sequences designed by Corman et al. [9] (link). The experimental procedure and interpretation of results have been previously described [10] (link), [11] (link). Briefly, one-step real-time RT-PCR was performed on a Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR machine (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Thermal cycling was performed as follows: reverse transcription at 50 °C for 10 min, followed by 95 °C for 2 min, and 50 cycles at 95 °C for 5 s and 58 °C for 30 s. All positive samples were further validated by the Taiwan CDC central laboratory. We evaluated 125 nasopharyngeal swabs (COPAN’s COVID-19 Collection & Transport Kits with Universal Transport Medium or Virus Transport Swabs 147C) from patients suspected of having COVID-19. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGHIRB No. C202005041), registered on March 20, 2020. Informed consent was obtained from patients.

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.
