Total RNA from D14 fractured calluses and POBs were isolated with Trizol Reagent (Life Technologies) and cDNA was prepared from 1 μg total RNA using the PrimeScriptTM RT reagent kit (Takara Bio). Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed with SYBR Green PCR master Mix (Invitrogen). The relative gene expression was calculated as described previously [9 (link)]. Primer sequences are listed in Table 2. Western blots from D21 fractured callus samples were carried out as previously described [9 (link), 18 (link)] using rabbit anti-IFT80 antibody (1:400, PAB15842, Abnova) and rabbit anti-Foxo1 antibody (1:500, 2880S, Cell Signaling). Beta-actin was used as a loading control. Protein band intensities were measured using ImageJ software and normalized to beta-actin.
