title: GSM8968876: HUVEC exposed to no U937 for 8 h, A; Homo sapiens; RNA-Seq
library_construction_protocol: Cells were harvested and lyzed using the QIAshredder Kit (Qiagen; 79656). mRNA was harvested using the RNeasy Plus Micro Kit (Qiagen; 74004) and eluted in 30 μL RNAase free water. RNA concentrations were measured using the nanodrop machine and were comparable between conditions. RNA quality and quantity were confirmed via bioanalyzer analysis performed by Arraystar Inc. The total RNA was depleted of rRNAs by Arraystar rRNA Removal Kit. We used Illumina kits for the RNA-seq library preparation, which included procedures of RNA fragmentation, random hexamer primed first strand cDNA synthesis, dUTP based second strand cDNA synthesis, end-repairing, A-tailing, adaptor ligation and library PCR amplification. Finally, the prepared RNA-seq libraries were qualified using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and quantified by qPCR absolute quantification method. The DNA fragments in well mixed libraries were denatured with 0.1M NaOH to generate single-stranded DNA molecules, loaded onto channels of the flow cell at 8 pM concentration, and amplified in situ using NovaSeq 6000 S4 Reagent Kit (300 cycles). Sequencing was carried out using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sequencing was carried out by running 150 cycles.
