The expression levels of genes were quantified by qRT-PCR using gene-specific primers (Table S1) with ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd. Nanjing, China) on a CFX ConnectTM Real-Time System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California, America). A PCR reaction mix contained 10 μL of ChamQ Universal SYBR qPCR Master Mix (Vazyme Biotech Co., Ltd. Nanjing, China), 125 nM of each forward and reverse primer, 2.0 μL of cDNA template, and 7.5 μL of RNase-free water. Data analysis was calculated by the 2−ΔCt method or 2−ΔCtΔCt method [36 (link)]. All experiments were measured in three biological replicates.
