RNA from cells or tissue powder was isolated using the Roti®-Quick-Kit (Carl Roth). RNA extracted from tissue powder was purified using the Peqlab-Gold Total RNA-Kit (12-6834-01, Peqlab). Reverse transcription and quantitative RT-PCR using the SYBR Green LC480 system (Roche) was conducted as previously described41 (link). Primers are listed in Supplementary Table 2 and RPL19 or HPRT served as housekeeping genes for relative gene expression analysis.
