Total RNA was extracted by using TRIzol (Invitrogen, United States) according to the manufacture’s protocol. cDNA was generated using a PrimeScript RT Reagent kit (TaKaRa, Japan). Real Time PCR was performed in a CFX96 Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad, United States) using a SYBR Green Real-Time PCR kit (TaKaRa, Japan). The primer sequences used were as follows: SRC, (forward) 5’- GGCTCCAGATTGTCAACA-3’ and (reverse) 5’- GCTTGCGGATCTTGTAGT-3' GAPDH, (forward) 5’-ATCAATGGAAATCCCATCACCA-3’ and (reverse) 5’-GACTCCACGACGTACTCAGCG-3’. Relative mRNA values were normalized to the expression of the GAPDH gene using the 2−∆∆Ct method.
