Total RNA was isolated from cells using Qiagen RNeasy Plus Mini kit (Cat. #74134; GmbH) as used and reported in [16 (link)]. The qScript cDNA Synthesis Kit (Cat#95047-100, Quanta Bio, Beverly, MA, USA) was used to convert 1 µg mRNA into cDNA. qRT–PCR was performed using the PerfeCTa SYBR Green FastMix ROX (Cat #95073-012, Quanta Bio, Beverly, MA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s protocols (18). Expression levels of β-Actin were used as an internal control. Real-time analysis was performed with an AriaMx Real-Time PCR System (Agilent AriaMx Real-Time PCR System) using the primers (Table S2) ordered from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), Leuven, Belgium).
