Quantitative miRNA and mRNA Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) was used for RNA extraction per manufacturer’s instructions. Quality and concentration of total RNA was assessed using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). For mature miRNA measurements, 10–20 ng of total RNA were reverse transcribed using Taqman microRNA reverse transcription kit (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA) and the product was diluted 1:15 in RNAse-free water. Levels of mature miRNAs, as well as normalizers RNU44 and U6 snRNAs, were assayed in triplicates following quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction with Taqman qRT-PCR assays (Life Technologies) and analyzed using the formula C = 2^Ctgeomean of normalizers / 2^CtmiRNA. Both reverse transcription and qRT-PCR miRNA primers were part of Taqman miRNA assays (Life Technologies). miR-34a expression was normalized to U6 and RNU44 expression to control for the total amount of RNA present in each sample. For mRNA measurements, 300 ng of RNA were reverse transcribed using the VILO cDNA synthesis kit (Invitrogen). The geometric mean of β-actin and 18S rRNA or 18S rRNA alone was used for normalization using the following formula: C = 2^Ctnormalizers / 2^CtmRNA.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal protocols used in this study are approved by Columbia University IACUC. Dgcr8+/− mice have been described previously (Stark, et al., 2008 (link)) and have been backcrossed into C57BL/6J background for over ten generations. After embryonic dissection, dissociated neurons from individual pups were cultured at ~2 × 106 neurons per condition. At DIV 1, cells were treated with Co(III)PPIX or DMSO (no porphyrin control) as indicated in Figure 6. Co(III)PPIX was dissolved in DMSO. At DIV 3, total RNA was isolated using miRNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). Taqman qRT-PCR assays (Life Technologies) were used to measure mature miR-185, miR-134 and Gapdh mRNA levels, as described previously (Stark, et al., 2008 (link); Xu, et al., 2013 (link)).

Pancreatic Cancer miRNA Expression Analysis

At first, we examined the expressions of miR-6510 and miR-934 in two pancreatic cancer cell lines (Hs766t and Hs766t-L3) by qRT-PCR. RNA enriched for small non-coding RNAs was extracted from the cells using the miRNeasy Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). The expression of miRNAs was quantified via TaqMan qRT-PCR assays (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) on a QuantStudio 7 Flex Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). Primers for qRT-PCR of miR-6510 and miR-934 were as follows in Supplementary Table 3. U6 was used as endogenous controls for data normalization. 2-ΔΔCT method was used to calculate the expression of each miRNA. Then, two GSE database GSE38781 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE38781) and GSE163031 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE163031) of pancreatic cancer were used to validate the influence of the expression of 4 miRNAs on the prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Extraction and Detection of RNA

Extraction of total RNA from cells was in accordance to the instruction of mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Scientific). For isolation of intact RNA from tissues, tissues were minced on ice, frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately and stored at −80 °C until analyzed.
Intact RNA from tissues after homogenization was prepared using mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit (Thermo Scientific). Total RNAs were eluted with 100 μl of elution buffer. TaqMan microRNA assay was used to determine levels of mature miRNAs in tissues or cells according to the instruction of TaqMan microRNA reverse transcription kit (Thermofisher).
qRT-PCR is the most sensitive technique for mRNA and miRNA detection. TaqMan qRT-PCR assays were used for the detection of gene/mature miRNA expression in triplicate on an ABI 7500 system (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). All the gene/miRNA-specific probes were bought from Applied Biosystems.

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.
