Synthesis of armc10 antisense RNA probes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cDNAs of the 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) of zebrafish armc10 was used to amplify templates for the synthesis of armc10 antisense RNA probes using the following primer pair: F2-armc10-utr 5′-CTCTGCTGGGGATTGTGG-3′ and R2-armc10-utr 5′-GAGAGTCCGGTCTCCTCCTC-3′. The sequence was then cloned into the pGEM-T Easy vector with T7 and SP6 RNA polymerase promoter sequences for in vitro transcription.
The templates used for synthesizing armc10 antisense RNA probes were generated by PCR amplification using pGEMT-armc10 as templates. RNA probes were generated by in vitro transcription from the T7 RNA promoter, incorporating DIG-11-UTP (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA) nucleotides, using Sp6 RNA polymerase with the MAXIscript kit (Ambion; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). The DNA template was removed from the synthesized probe by DNaseI treatment and the probe was purified using LiCl-based precipitation. The probe was dissolved in DEPC-treated water and stored at −80°C.

Viroid transcripts of 302 ~ 372 nt containing positive monomeric full-length sequences of CEVd or HSVd were cloned into pcr2.1-TOPO vectors (Invitrogen, Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) as templates to allow generation of complimentary-strand probes (CEVd-p; HSV-p). In vitro transcription with T7 polymerase and DIG-modified UTP (DIG-11-UTP) was performed following the manufacturer’s protocol (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The transcripts (20 μL) were diluted with nuclease-free water and then purified by centrifugation with phenol/chloroform. The purified transcripts were precipitated by addition of 1/10 volume of 3 M sodium citrate (pH5.2), 1/100 volume of glycogen and 3 volume of 100 % ethanol followed by centrifugation at 17,000 g for 15 min. The pellets were resuspended in 5 μL of nuclease-free water. Normally 1 μg of viroid-contained plasmid could generate approximately 3–5 μg of DIG-labeled RNA probe in our study. DIG-labeled probes were stored at −80 °C.

Total RNA was isolated with TRIZOL (ThermoFisher) from a single brain hemisphere of a mixed C57BL/6 background adult mouse. 5 μg total RNA was annealed to random hexamer primers and reverse transcribed with Thermoscript (ThermoFisher) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. KCTD2, KCTD5, and KCTD17 transcripts were amplified using primer pairs oNS286 and oNS287, oNS288 and oNS289, and oNS290 and oNS291, respectively.
For in situ hybridization, DNA templates bearing a terminal SP6 promoter for in vitro transcription were generated by PCR amplification of C57BL/6 mouse genomic DNA, using primer pairs oNS1204 and oNS1205 for KCTD2, oNS1207 and oNS1208 for KCTD5, and oNS1213 and oNS1214 for KCTD17. Riboprobes were transcribed with SP6 polymerase and DIG-11-UTP or Fluorescein-12-UTP (Roche). In situ hybridization was performed as described [70 (link)], amplifying Fluorescein- and DIG-labeled probes with Fluorescein-tyramide and Cy5-tyramide (Perkin Elmer) respectively.

Designing and Validating ISH Probes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ISH probes were designed to span 500–1000 base pairs and were targeted to CDS and/or UTR regions of each mRNA (see Table S2). Probes were designed to minimize cross-hybridization with off-target mRNAs, which was assessed using BLAST. For the detection of specific ORs, probes targeting multiple gene regions were typically generated and tested. Probe sequences were amplified by PCR using specific primers (Table S2), inserted into the pCRII-TOPO vector (ThermoFisher), and confirmed by restriction analysis and sequencing. DIG- and FITC-labeled antisense RNA probes were generated from 1 μg of linearized plasmid template using T7 or Sp6 RNA polymerases (NEB) and DIG-11-UTP (Roche) or FITC-11-UTP (Roche), treated with DNaseI (Promega), ethanol precipitated, and dissolved in a 30 μL volume of water.

RNA transcripts were generated using the T7 Riboprobe in vitro Transcription kit (Promega, Madison, WI). RNA transcripts were synthesized in a reaction mixture containing 2.5 mm (each) ATP, CTP, GTP, and UTP. DIG-labeled riboprobes were synthesized in 20-μl reaction volumes containing 1 mm NTP or 1 mm (each) ATP, CTP, and GTP, 0.65 mm UTP, 0.35 mm DIG-11-UTP (Roche Applied Science), 500 ng of linearized template, 20 units of RNase inhibitor, and 40 units of T7 polymerase and incubated at 37 °C for 2 to 3 h. All reaction mixtures were then treated with 1 μl of DNase I for 15 min at 37 °C. The transcripts were purified by phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation in the presence of ammonium acetate and then dissolved in RNase-free, double-distilled H2O (ddH2O). The concentrations of RNA transcripts were determined by measuring absorption at A260 with a NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Electron, MA).

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.
