For mRNA expression analysis, RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and qPCR were performed as described previously[11 (link)]. All mRNAs except Chrebpα, Chrebpβ, Srebp-1c were quantified using TaqMan Gene Expression Assays (Applied Biosystems) and TaqMan Universal PCR master mix, No Amp Erase (Applied Biosystems), in a total volume 10 μl. Chrebpα, Chrebpβ, Srebp-1c mRNA expression levels were quantified using Power SYBR Green PCR master mix (Applied Biosystems) and previously published primers[18 (link)]. Relative mRNA levels of all genes were calculated using the standard-curve method and normalized to the level of cyclophilin A mRNA.
Cyclophilin A gene expression was assessed in all tissues of control and UBC-SKO mice (S2 Fig).
