Quantitative PCR amplifications of IKKε, NOX2, NOX5, S9 and β-actin genes were performed using the Fast start SYBR Green Kit (Roche) in a Rotor-Gene 3000 Real-Time Thermal Cycler (Corbett Research). Absence of genomic DNA contamination was analyzed using a reaction without reverse transcriptase. Gene expression normalized over actin or S9 was analyzed using the ΔΔ Cycle threshold (Ct) method [38] (link) or as absolute mRNA copy numbers using plasmid-based standard curves as described in [39] (link). RT-PCR analysis of NOX/DUOX isoforms expression was performed as previously described [35] (link). Positive controls were used for each gene, as follows: total RNA from colon was used for NOX1; total RNA from DMSO-differentiated HL60 was used for NOX2; total RNA from human fetal kidney was used for NOX3; total RNA from MRC-5 were used for NOX4; total RNA from human spleen was used for NOX5; total RNA from human thyroid was used for DUOX1 and DUOX2.

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.
