High-Risk HPV Detection in Adenosquamous Carcinomas

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HPV detection for high-risk HPV subtypes was performed on adenosquamous carcinomas in the tissue microarray that had sufficient tissue to score and had not been improperly fixed or stored (n=23). HPV in situ hybridization with a chromogen was performed using the Advanced Cell Diagnostics (Hayward, CA) RNAscope® system (catalogue no.312598). The RNAscope® Probe “HPV HR18” contains probes targeting E6 and E7 mRNA for the following high-risk subtypes: HPV16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82. The methodology and interpretation were discussed in detail in a previous paper (18 (link)). Positive and negative control cases were used for optimal results. A full range of cytoplasmic and nuclear signals were encountered. Cases were interpreted to be HPV-positive if any brown signal appeared (nuclear, cytoplasmic) in the presence of a negative control.

In situ hybridization was performed using the RNAscope system (Advanced Cell Diagnostics) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Pre-treatment consisted of dehydration, followed by incubation with hydrogen peroxide and protease IV at room temperature. The Multiplex Fluorescent Kit v2 protocol was followed using commercial probes for the OT receptor (Oxtr, NM_001081147.1, #402658-C3). Images were captured by Zeiss 880 inverted confocal microscopy. Visualized cells with more than 5 puncta per cell were classified as positive neurons.

Spinal Cord RNAscope Profiling in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male or female mice were euthanized by IP injection of sodium pentobarbital (30 mg/kg; Vortech Pharmaceuticals) then transcardially perfused with 0.01M phosphate buffer (PB) followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) dissolved in PB. Lumbar spinal cords were dissected out and post-fixed for an additional 2 hours in room-temperature 4% PFA. Tissue was transferred to RNAse-free 30% sucrose in 0.1M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) overnight. 14 μm transverse sections were cut on a CM 1850 cryostat (Leica) and mounted onto Superfrost slides (Fisher). Slides were dried for 20 min at −20°C, then stored at −80°C.
The RNAscope system (Advanced Cell Diagnostics) was used per manufacturer’s directions for fresh-frozen tissue pretreatment, except for omission of the initial on-slide fixation step. Probe hybridization and detection was then carried out using Multiplex Fluorescent Kit v2, following manufacturer’s directions. The following RNAscope probes were used: Adra2b (425321), Cartpt (432001), Crhr1 (418011-C2), Gucy2d (425451-C2), Npbwr1 (547181), Pdyn (318771, 318771-C2), and Pnoc (437881). TSA Plus Cyanine 3 and Cyanine 5 system (PerkinElmer #NEL744E001KT, #NEL745E001KT) were used to visualize fluorescent in situ signals. TSA fluorophores were diluted in RNAscope TSA buffer (Cy3 1:1500, Cy5 1:1000).

Spatial Expression of Immune Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane and transcardially perfused with 25 ml PBS followed by 25 ml 4% paraformaldehyde/1% picric acid. Following perfusion, L3-L5zen spinal cords or DRGs were isolated and post-fixed overnight at 4°C in the same fixative. Tissues were subsequently washed several times in PBS, followed by cryopreservation using a sucrose gradient. tissues were then embedded in OCT medium (Tissue-Tek) and cryosectioned to produce 14 μm-thick sections, which were mounted onto charged slides. Each tissue block (and thus, each slide) contained both WT and KO tissues to account for any variability in staining between slides, and to control for the specificity of RNAscope probes targeting STING (Tmem173) or Ifnar1. In situ hybridization was performed using the RNAscope system (Advanced Cell Diagnostics) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, using a protocol tailored to the Multiplex Fluorescent Kit v2. We used probes directed against murine Ifnar1 (catalog 512971, NM_010508.2) and murine STING (Tmem173; catalog 413321, NM_028261.1). Following the completion of the RNAscope protocol, immunohistochemistry was performed as described in the next section. The in situ hybridization experiments were repeated in three independent experiments.

HPV detection for high-risk HPV subtypes was performed on all GAS cases (n = 62). HPV in situ hybridization with a chromogen was performed using the RNAscope system from Advanced Cell Diagnostics (Catalog no. 312598) following the manufacturer's instruction. The RNAscope Probe "HPV HR18" contains probes targeting E6 and E7 mRNA for the following 18 high-risk subtypes: HPV16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82 .

The RNAscope scoring system was used to examine each specimen, as described in previous studies [23 (link), 24 (link)]. HPV fluorescent in situ hybridization was performed using a chromogen and the RNAscope system (Advanced Cell Diagnostics; catalog no. 312598). The RNAscope probe HPV HR18 contains probes that target E6 and E7 mRNA in these high-risk subtypes: HPV16, 18, 26, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 66, 68, 73, and 82. The RNAscope results were classified into five degrees based on the following scoring guidelines: 0, no staining or <  1 dot in 10 cells (40x); 1, 1–3 dots in each cell (20–40x); 2, 4–10 dots in each cell as well as a few dot clusters (20–40x); 3, > 10 dots in each cell as well as dot clusters in < 10% positive cells (20x); 4, > 10 dots in each cell as well as dot clusters in > 10% positive cells (20x). An RNAscope score ≥ 1 indicated positivity.

Multiplexed in situ hybridization to indicated transcripts were performed using the RNAscope system (Advanced Cell Diagnostics). Whole brains from injected rodents were flash-frozen in OCT medium (Tissue Tek) using a dry ice/ethanol bath at 10-15 days post-injection. Cortical tissue from marmoset visual cortex was collected using a 4 mm biopsy punch (Integra) and immediately flash-frozen in OCT. All samples were cryosectioned at 12 μm (Leica CM3050S) and processed according to probe manufacturer instructions. Briefly, fixed and dehydrated sections were co-hybridized with proprietary probes (Advanced Cell Diagnostics) to neuronal marker transcripts, followed by differential fluorescence tagging. Signals in cells identified using DAPI staining were co-localized on an AXIOZoom V16 microscope (Zeiss).

During a complete necropsy of the 11 fish, we used 3 whole perch for histologic examination. We fixed these fish in 10% buffered formalin for 24 hours and embedded cut sections of the gills, longitudinal head sections, and longitudinal cut sections of the body cavity in paraffin. We prepared 3-μm sections and stained them with hematoxylin and eosin according to standard protocols. We conducted chromogenic in situ hybridization on all formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues used for histopathology. We performed staining with the RNAscope system (Advanced Cell Diagnostics, https://acdbio.com) (Appendix).

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.
