The primers of nine RGs (Table 2) were chosen due to their different biological functions and irrelevance. Metabolism-related genes: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), beta-2-microglobulin (B2M); ribosomal genes: ribosomal protein large P0 (RPLP0); cellular structure and cytoskeleton: beta-actin (ACTB); transcription and translation: eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 (EEF1A1), TATA box binding protein (TBP); cell signaling and regulation: peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA), tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, zeta (YWHAZ); nucleotide metabolism: hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HPRT1). GAPDH, B2M, EEF1A1, RPLP0, PPIA, and YWHAZ were referenced from a previous report [35 (link),38 (link)]. ACTB, TBP, and HPRT1 were designed using the PrimerQuest™ tool at an annealing temperature of 60 °C and analyzed using OligoAnalyzer 3.1, a software that confirms the absence of hairpins, homodimers, and heterodimers. To evaluate primer efficiency, RT-qPCR was performed with the 10-fold diluted cDNA of the SF-MSCs, following a previously established protocol [38 (link)]. Standard curve parameters were calculated using the RotorGene Q Series software 2.1.0 (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany).
