Proper normalization of RT-qPCR data is crucial for interpreting results and ensuring the accuracy of scientific conclusions. In untreated bovine fibroblasts, a combined use of GUSB and RPL13A was determined to be the best approach for data normalization.
Proper normalization of RT-qPCR data is pivotal to the interpretation of results and accuracy of scientific conclusions. Though different approaches may be taken, normalization against multiple reference genes is now standard practice. Genes traditionally used and deemed constitutively expressed have demonstrated variability in expression under different experimental conditions, necessitating the proper validation of reference genes prior to utilization. Considering the wide use of fibroblasts in research and scientific applications, it is imperative that suitable reference genes for fibroblasts of different animal origins and conditions be elucidated. Previous studies on bovine fibroblasts have tested limited genes and/or samples. Herein, we present an extensive study investigating the expression stability of 16 candidate reference genes across 7 untreated bovine fibroblast cell lines subjected to controlled conditions. Data were analysed using various statistical tools and algorithms, including geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and RefFinder. A combined use of GUSB and RPL13A was determined to be the best approach for data normalization in untreated bovine fibroblasts.
