RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis and real time PCR were performed as previously described [26]. RT-PCR primers were shown in Supplementary Table 1. Porcine TATA-binding protein 1 (TBP1) gene was used as an internal control [49] to normalize the RT-PCR efficiency and to quantify the expression of the genes in wild-type and Mstn −/− pigs.
