Total RNA was extracted using Trizol (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the method previously described [26]. For mRNA relative expression analysis, total RNA was reversed transcribed into cDNA with Prime-Script RT kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan) and amplified with SYBR-Green Real-time PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The mRNA expression level of GAPDH was used as an internal normalization control. Comparative quantification was performed by using the 2-ΔΔCt method. All primers are available in the Additional file 1: Table S1.
