Normalized cDNA Preparation for 454 Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA from each tissue/condition was used as the source of starting material for cDNA synthesis and production of normalized cDNA libraries intended for 454 sequencing. Briefly, the total RNA quality was verified on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer with the RNA 6000 Pico kit (Agilent Technologies, Waldbronn, Germany) and the quantity assessed by fluorimetry with the Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA kit (Invitrogen, CA, USA). A fraction of 1–2 μg of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis with the MINT cDNA synthesis kit (Evrogen, Moscow, Russia), a strategy based on the SMART double-stranded cDNA synthesis methodology using a modified template-switching approach that allows the introduction of known adapter sequences to both ends of the first-strand cDNA. Amplified cDNA was then normalized with TRIMMER cDNA Normalization kit (Evrogen, Moscow, Russia) using the Duplex-Specific Nuclease-technology [20 (link), 29 ].
Normalized cDNA was quantified by fluorescence and sequenced in 454 GS FLX Titanium according to the standard manufacturer’s instructions (Roche-454 Life Sciences, Brandford, CT, USA) at Biocant (Cantanhede, Portugal).

mRNA Polyplexes Formulation and Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unless specified, polymer:mRNA polyplexes were prepared at a 100:1
polymer:mRNA weight ratio in 25 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 5.8). For
in vitro experiment, a solution at 10 µg mRNA/mL
was prepared: 1 µL of polymer solution (100 mg/mL in DMSO) was first
diluted in 50 µL sodium acetate buffer. After brief vortexing, the
polymer solution was mixed with 1 µg mRNA diluted in 50 µL
sodium acetate buffer, and vortexed again. The polymer:mRNA mixture was
incubated at room temperature for 10 min before use. For in
vivo
experiments, a solution at 100 µg mRNA/mL in sodium
acetate buffer was prepared by the same method.
The hydrodynamic diameter of the polyplexes was measured by Dynamic
Light Scattering (DLS) using a Malvern Nano-ZS (Malvern Instruments, UK), after
dilution of polyplexes in DI water at a concentration of 2 µg/mL of
mRNA. To measure zeta potential, the same solution was loaded into a disposable
capillary cell and analyzed on a Malvern Nano-ZS.
Encapsulation efficiency (EE) of mRNA in the polyplexes was measured
using the Quant-IT RiboGreen RNA kit (Invitrogen, #R11491) according to
manufacturer instructions. As the RiboGreen assay measures the amount of free
mRNA in solution, this amount was substracted to the initial amount added to
form the polyplexes, to obtain the amount of mRNA complexed within the
polyplexes.

Total RNA Extraction from Preserved Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA extractions were performed by slowly thawing samples on ice and removing preservation solution using a syringe (Frias-Lopez et al., 2008 (link)). Then, 350 μl of MirVana denaturing lysis buffer (Ambion, #AM854OG, Austin, TX) was added to the filter unit, capped, and vortexed for 1 min. Next, 350 μl of RNase-free water was added to the filter unit. Lysate was recovered from the filter unit and added to 600 μl of RNase-free water. Prior to purification, lysate was spilt into two aliquots of 675 μl each. Purification and DNase treatment were performed on a Chemagic MSM robotic lab instrument (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) using an RNA Tissue kit (Perkin Elmer, CMG-1212A, Waltham, MA). Total RNA quality was analyzed using a fragment analyzer with the high sensitivity RNA kit from Agilent (DNF-472-0500, Santa Clara, CA), and quantification performed using the Quant-IT Ribogreen RNA kit (Invitrogen, R11490, Carlsbad, CA).

DOPA-capped NCP-1 nanoparticles carrying a cisplatin prodrug were prepared according to our previous report. NCP-1/siRNAs was prepared by adding 10 μL of aqueous solution of DSPE-siRNA (DSPE-siRNA/DOPA-coated NCP = 1:16 in weight ratio) and a THF solution (80 μL) of cholesterol, DSPC (cholesterol/DOPC = 1:2 in molar ratio), 20 mol % DSPE-PEG2k, and DOPA-coated NCP to 500 μL of 30% (v/v) ethanol/water at 50 °C. The mixture was stirred at 1700 rpm for 1 min. THF and ethanol were completely evaporated, and the NCP-1/siRNAs solution was allowed to cool down to room temperature.
ICP-MS (Agilent 7700X, Agilent Technologies, USA) was utilized to analyze the Pt concentration of NCP to calculate cisplatin loadings. The amounts of siRNA loaded were quantified by Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA kit (Invitrogen, USA). The particle size and ζ potential of NCP-1/siRNAs in PBS were determined by Zetasizer (Nano ZS, Malvern, UK). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM, Tecnai Spirit, FEI, USA) was used to observe the morphology of NCP-1/siRNAs.
