All sorted samples were stored at −80 °C as cell lysates until the time of RNA isolation with PicoPure RNA isolation kits (Life Technologies). For normal PB, RNA was extracted using the Qiagen Blood RNA kit (Qiagen). Total RNA and equivalent amounts of StratRef (Stratagene Universal Human Pooled Reference RNA, Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) were treated with 200 ng of poly dIdC (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). CTC, BT474, PB, and StratRef samples were linearly amplified with 2 rounds using Arcturus RiboAmpHS (Life Technologies). Primary tumor, normal epithelium, and StratRef were amplified using 2 round modified T7 amplification [15 , 17 (link)]. Concentrations of amplified RNA products were measured using a UV spectrophotometer. The molecular weight and integrity of amplified RNA species were evaluated using the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA).

Five type I IFN-inducible genes (RSAD2, IFI44, IFI44L, IFI27, IFI6) were selected as pharmacodynamics markers for MEDI-546 based on their prevalence and magnitude of overexpression in patients with SSc as compared with healthy controls [25 ,26 (link)]. Total RNA was extracted from blood and skin biopsies using the PAXgene Blood RNA kit and the Qiagen RNeasy Fibrous Tissue Mini kit (Hilden, Germany), respectively. RNA purity and concentration were determined spectrophotometrically (260/280 > 1.9). RNA quality was assessed on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the RNA 6000 Nano LabChip® (Santa Clara, CA, USA).
The expression level of the 5-gene marker in whole blood and skin was measured using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus arrays (Santa Clara, CA, USA) [25 ]. Blood samples were procured at each evaluation visit, except for days 21 and 22, and skin biopsies were collected on days 0, 7 (single doses only), and 28 (multiple doses only). Transcript profiling was conducted according to standard methods [27 (link)]. The rationale for the definition of positive gene signatures as >2.9 for skin and >1.8 for blood and the details of score generation are included in the Wang publication [26 (link)].

RNA was extracted from the PAXgene® Blood RNA tubes using the PAXgene® Blood RNA kit and purified with the RNeasy MinElute Cleanup kit (Qiagen). A total of 90 RNA samples were prepared (30 sheep, 3 time points: T0H, T4H, T24H). The quality of the total RNA was assessed on an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, using RNA 6000 pico kit (Agilent Technologies). Directional RNA-Seq Libraries were constructed from 1 µg of total RNA using the TruSeq mRNA Stranded Library Prep Kit (Illumina), following the manufacturer’s instructions. The final libraries’ quality was assessed with an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100, using an Agilent High Sensitivity DNA Kit. Libraries were pooled in equimolar proportions and sequenced in paired-end runs (51 nt forward–34 nt reverse) on an Illumina NextSeq500 instrument, using NextSeq 500 High Output 75 cycles kits. Demultiplexing has been done with bcl2fastq2 V2.2.18.12. Adapters were trimmed with Cutadapt1.12 and only reads longer than 10 pb were kept.

RNA Splicing Analysis of CHD7 Variant

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We extracted RNA from peripheral blood (PaxGene RNA tubes and blood RNA kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD)) from the proband and synthesized cDNA using SuperScript III (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). To assess RNA splicing, we designed PCR primers that specifically amplify cDNA that includes exons 3 through 8 of CHD7, spanning several splice junctions. We separated and gel purified individual cDNAs using agarose gel electrophoresis and confirmed sequence of individual cDNAs with Sanger sequencing to evaluate the splicing effects of the CHD7 variant.

Microarrays for the infant correlates of risk study were performed as previously described72 (link). Briefly, PBMC were thawed and RNA was extracted using an RNeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. mRNA was amplified using the Illumina Totalprep kit (Ambion) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the quality of the RNA was checked using an Agilent bioanalyser following extraction and again following amplification using the RNA Pico or Nano kits. For whole blood transcriptomic studies, PAXgene® tubes were thawed over two hours at room temperature and total intracellular RNA was extracted using the Blood RNA Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The purity and quantity of the isolated total RNA was assessed prior to storage at −20 °C until required. Globin mRNA was subsequently depleted using the GLOBINclear Kit (Ambion), amplified and biotin-labelled using the TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit (Illumina). RNA quality was subsequently assessed. Biotinylated cRNA was hybridised to Illumina HumanHT-12 (v4.0) expression beadchips according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Beadchips were scanned with an Illumina iScan machine, and data extracted using the GenomeStudio software.

Blood RNA Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used to isolate RNA from blood. RNA concentrations were assessed with Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Total RNA was reversed transcribed to cDNA using High Capacity cDNA Archive Kit (Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany). Gene expression was assessed by real time PCR using an LightCycler® 480 Real-Time PCR System (Roche Diagnostics SL, Barcelona, Spain) with SYBR green technology suitable for relative genetic expression quantification (Roche Diagnostics SL, Barcelona, Spain). Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was used as endogenous control. The commercially predesigned KiCqStart® primers used were as follows: DPP9 (forward sequence: 5′-CCACCAAGGTTTATCCAATG-3′, reverse sequence: 5′-ACTCATCGACTTCCTCATAC-3′).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Subject recruitment and eligibility criteria for the PPMI study have been previously published66 (link). To increase matching between ICICLE-PD, we limited our analysis to 287 early-stage (diagnosed <13 months) idiopathic (i.e., without a known PD-related genetic diagnosis) PD patients and 176 controls, additionally matching within PPMI for age and sex. Whole blood RNAseq data was downloaded as FASTQ files from the online PPMI repository (https://www.ppmi-info.org/). RNA collection, isolation and subsequent sequencing have been previously reported27 (link) and is described in the PPMI Biologicals Manual. Briefly, whole-blood RNA was extracted from PAXgene tubes (Blood RNA Kit, Qiagen), rRNA and globin depleted (Globin-Zero Gold rRNA Removal Kit, Illumina). Library preparation used the NEB/Kapa (NEBKAP) kit (see ref. 27 (link) for more information). Sequencing was performed using an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 generating 125–150 bp paired-end reads. Median sequencing depth was estimated as 107 (IQR = 31.2) million paired-end reads (Supplementary Figure 1).

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.
