RNA was isolated using RNeasy mini kit with on-column DNase I digestion (Qiagen). Reverse transcription followed by qPCR was performed by preparing cDNAs with Prime Script RT Master Mix (Takarabio) or QuantiTect RT-Kit (Qiagen), and qPCR with SYBR Green reagent using indicated gene primers (Supplemental Table 4) on a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Data were analyzed using the 2–ΔΔCt method to determine relative gene expression after normalization with internal control genes (RPLPO, HPRT1, and PPIA for human) and (Rplp0 and Ppia for mouse genes) (21 (link), 22 (link)).
