Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen) and quantified by Nanodrop (Thermo Scientific). Real-Time PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed as previously described (51 (link)) using the SensiFAST SYBR NO-ROX One-Step (BIOLINE) following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, RT-qPCR reactions were performed on a Rotor-Gene Q 2plex HRM Platform (Qiagen, 9001560) and relative gene expression levels were determined using calculated concentration values, normalized to β-actin and Gapdh as reference genes. Primers used were reported in Supplementary Table S4.
