Germline DNA Extraction and EGFR Mutation Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Germline DNA was extracted from either whole blood or normal lung tissue, while tumor DNA was extracted from the matched tumor tissue. Genotyping of the rs2736100 was conducted using a Taqman-based assay (Life Technologies, CA, USA) in a PRISM 7900HT real-time PCR system (Life Technologies, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instruction. EGFR mutations (exons 18 to 21) were detected using Sanger sequencing with a protocol previously established in the lab (29 (link)). EGFRmut+ NSCLC patients were defined as individuals with any somatic mutation detected in exons 18–21 of the tumor DNA, while EGFRmut− patients were individuals with wild-type EGFR in their tumor.

Quantification of Telomere Length in NSCLC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood DNA of NSCLC patients (n=351) and part of healthy controls (n=343) were used to quantify the mean LTL using our previously established real-time PCR based protocol (27 (link)). Briefly, mean LTL telomere length was quantified as the quantity of telomere repeats relative to that of the RNase P gene as a reference, using the primers and conditions described before (27 (link)). Reactions were performed in duplicates in 10 μl reactions in the same plate with a PRISM 7900HT real-time PCR system (Life Technologies). The mean LTL was defined as a T/S ratio between telomere repeats and the RNase P gene for each sample. The T/S ratios were further log transformed (+log10) for subsequent analyses.

Total RNA was purified from the spleen, BM, and thymus of FV-infected mice using RNeasy Blood & Tissue kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and cDNA synthesis was performed by using PrimeScript RT reagent Kit (Takara Bio Inc., Shiga, Japan). The viral DNA fragments were amplified from 0.5 µg or 1 µg of total cDNA and were quantified using Platinum Quantitative PCR SuperMix-UDG with ROX (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and a Prism 7900HT Real-Time PCR system (Life Technologies). PCR primers and TaqMan probes for the differential detection of F-MuLV and SFFV cDNAs were designed on the env portion of each provirus: primers 5′-AAGTCTCCCCCCGCCTCTA-3′ and 5′-AGTGCCTGGTAAGCTCCCTGT-3′, and a FAM-labeled probe 5′-ACTCCCACATTGATTTCCCCGTCC-3′ for the detection of F-MuLV, and primers 5′-TCTAACCTCACCAACCCTGAT-3′ and 5′-TTTTAGGGCAATGGTATGATTAAAATAA-3′, and a FAM-labeled probe 5′-CCTAGTGTCTGGACCCCCCTATTACGAGG-3′ for the detection of SFFV [59] (link). After initial incubations at 50°C for 2 min and 95°C for 10 min, 40 cycles of amplification were carried out at 95°C for 30 sec and at 58°C for 1 min. A TaqMan rodent GAPDH control reagent (Life Technologies) was used as an internal control. Standard curves obtained by using plasmids containing the env gene of each virus as templates were linear over a range of 10–106 copies in the above reaction.

Total RNA from the various cell lines was isolated using the RNeasy extraction method (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). First-strand cDNA was synthesized from total RNA by iScript cDNA synthesis (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Taqman RT–PCR analysis was performed on cDNA in a 384-well plate, using a Prism 7900HT Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Primers and Taqman probes for human HIPK2 and human GUSB were purchased from Applied Biosystems. The expression of target gene in each sample was assayed in triplicate and normalized to human GUSB for mRNA expression analysis. Decreased transcriptional levels of HIPK2 were calculated by dividing the transcriptional levels measured in HIPK2 siRNA samples from those in the control samples.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
