Total RNA was extracted using Geneaid Minikit (Geneaid). After digestion with DNase, 1 μg of RNA was reverse-transcribed using M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Promega) and random hexamers (Promega) and used as template for conventional PCR analyses using GoTaq enzyme (Promega), before analysis on agarose or acrylamide gels and quantification by densitometry using Image Lab Software (Biorad).55 (link) Real-time quantitative PCRs (qPCR) were performed using the SYBR Green I Master and the LightCycler 480 System (Roche). All primers used are listed in the Table S7.
