Total RNA was extracted from samples using a commercial kit (Fermentas, Villebon sur Yvette, France). Random hexamer primers and Oligo(dt)18 primers (Fermentas) were used for cDNA synthesis from 2 μg of total RNA with RevertAid Premium Reverse Transcriptase (Fermentas). Real-time PCR was performed using transcript-specific primers, cDNA (1 ng), and LightCycler 480 SYBR Green I Master (Roche) in a final volume of 10 μl. The 2 − ΔΔCT method was used for relative quantification analysis, and PCR amplification of the housekeeping genes Ywhaz, Gapdh, and Tubulin alpha was used for controls. The primer’s sequences are reported in Additional file 1: Table S1.
