Mir 16

Manufactured by Qiagen
Sourced in United States

The MiR-16 is a laboratory instrument designed for the quantitative analysis of microRNA (miRNA) expression. It utilizes real-time PCR technology to accurately measure the levels of specific miRNA molecules in biological samples. The core function of the MiR-16 is to provide researchers with a reliable tool for the detection and quantification of miRNA targets.

Quantifying Cellular miRNA and Isoform Expression

These procedures were performed as described previously63 (link), 64 (link). Primers used in RT-qPCR are indicated in Supplementary Table 1. The miR-122, miR-16 (as internal control for vesicular miR-122), and U6 primers (as internal control for intracellular miR-122) were purchased from Qiagen. Determination of PKM isoforms was performed as described65 (link). Products of RT-PCR were digested with NcoI, PstI, or both enzymes, plus an uncut control, and separated on an agarose gel with Sybr safe. The presence of a PstI digestion site indicates the splicing isoform M2 whereas the NcoI site indicates isoform M1.

A total of 80 μM of tissue was macrodissected using a cryostat (Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; Microm HM 550). Briefly, RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed, and RT-PCR was performed using rat primers; CCL2 (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, # PPR06714B), IFNβ (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, #PPR06442B), IL6 (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, # PPR06483B), IFNγ (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, #PPR45050C), and TNFα (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, #PPR06411F) [37 (link)]. Raw data were exported from the real-time instrument software and relative gene expression (RQ) was calculated using the ΔΔ-Ct method. Specific RT2 Primer Assays Endogenous controls run on each plate included SNORD-95 (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, #331452), and miR16 (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA, #331452). All samples were normalized against pathologically confirmed normal esophagus and were run in technical duplicates.

Quantifying miR-146a and miR-155 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
miR146a and miR-155 were detected by Real-time PCR assays by using the SYBR Green Master Mix kit (QIAGEN, MD, USA). miRNA primers were purchased from QIAGEN (has-miR-146A-5p, Cat. No YP00204688; has-miR-155-5p, Cat no. YP00204308), and quantitative PCR was performed using Real-time PCR (Roche, Manheim, Germany). The Real-time PCR program included the following steps: an initial denaturation step at 95°C for 10 min; 45 amplification cycles that consisted of a denaturation step (10 s at 95°C) and an annealing step (60 s at 60°C). Expression levels of miRNAs were normalized to the level of miR-16 (QIAGEN, MD, USA) as a control miRNA using the 2– ΔΔCt method.

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.
