Total RNA was extracted from 100 mg of tissue homogenised with ceramic beads in a FastPrep-24 5 G tissuelyser in 1 mL of Trizol following the manufacturer’s instructions. Concentration and purity of RNA was estimated using a Nanodrop 2000 C Spectrophotometer. First strand cDNA was synthesised from 1 μg RNA using a Biorad iScript advanced cDNA kit with an integrated genomic DNA elimination step. First strand cDNA samples were diluted 20-fold (working stock) with RNase/DNase free water (Sigma, St. Quentin Fallavier, France) and stored at −20 °C.
