Isolation and Quantification of Total RNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from the extracted PBMCs using Wizol reagent
M (Wizbiosolutions, Seongnam, South Korea). After RNA extraction,
spectrophotometry (NanoDrop 2000c; Thermo Scientific) was used for
the RNA quantification. RNA samples having ratio of absorbance at
260 and 280 nm (A260/A280) of 1.8–2.2 nm were used for cDNA
synthesis. cDNA synthesis was carried out using M-MLV reverse transcriptase
(Invitrogen). The transcribed cDNA was quantified by spectrophotometry
(NanoDrop 2000c; Thermo Scientific). After quantification, each sample
was diluted to make final concentration up to 500 ng/μL.

Preparation of skin lysate: The back of the C57BL/6 mouse was shaved with an animal hair trimmer and depilated with cream. The mouse was killed by cervical dislocation. The depilated skin was treated with 70% ethanol, excised, and transferred to a conditionally sterile laminar. Subcutaneous fatty tissue was removed from the skin. The skin was cut into 3 × 3 mm fragments. The fragments were placed in a mortar, wet with liquid nitrogen, and rubbed with a pestle. The procedure was repeated until a homogeneous mass was formed. Five milliliters of PBS were added to the obtained homogeneous mass. Then, the obtained mass was passed through a 220 nm filter, and the protein concentration in the resulting solution was measured with a NanoDrop 2000c (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
Preparation of human PBMC lysate: Human PBMC was prepared by centrifugation of fresh venous blood on a Ficoll-Urografin density gradient (1.077 g/cm3). PBMC was collected, washed two times in PBS, and then frozen and thawed three times. The obtained suspension was passed through a 220 nm filter, and the protein concentration in the solution was measured with a NanoDrop 2000c (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
The mice were immunized on day 0, day 7, and day 21. A 50 µg (by protein) quantity of the lysate was mixed with an equal volume of incomplete Freund’s adjuvant and injected into the base of the tail.

The concentration of sodium fluorescein was calculated by measuring the UV absorbance (Nanodrop 2000c, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Basingstoke, UK) compared to stock solutions. To determine the kinetics of sodium fluorescein release, PM samples were kept at room temperature (20 °C) under constant dialysis (regenerated cellulose, 10,000 MWCO, Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK) against PBS. At various intervals over a total of 7 days PM samples were collected. 1 mL aliquots of each sample was then passed through a size separation column, before measurement of UV absorbance (Nanodrop 2000c, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Basingstoke, UK). Each experiment was performed in triplicate. All of the preparations give a 3 mg/mL solution of PMs. For all in vitro experiments PM samples were used immediately and were sterile filtered through a 0.2 μm cellulose acetate syringe filter before use.

The expressions of RUNX2 family transcription factor (RUNX2), osteopontin (OPN), and osteocalcin (OCN) were evaluated by qRT-PCR assay. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in a 6-well plate at a density of 1 × 105 per well and cultured as before for 14 days. The total RNA was extracted following the manufacturer’s instructions (ZHONGSHI TONTRU, Tianjin, China), and the concentration was calculated by NanoDrop 2000C (Thermal Fisher Scientific, United States). RNA was reversely transcribed to cDNA by the Reverse Transcription Kit (ZHONGSHI TONTRU, Tianjin, China). Then, an ABI Prism 7,500 Real-Time PCR system (Applied Biosystem, United States) was used after the Mix was added according to the instructions of the Fluorescence Quantitative PCR Kit (ZHONGSHI TONTRU, Tianjin, China). GAPDH was a normalized gene, and the control group was set as 1. The relative expression levels of RUNX2, OCN, and OPN were evaluated (n = 3) by the 2-△△CT method. Thermo Fisher synthesized the primers, and the sequence is shown in Table 1.

The detailed protocols for RNA extraction and miRNA assay are described in our previous publications (Mishra et al., 2009b (link); Chavali et al., 2014 (link); Nandi et al., 2016 (link)). In brief, we used mirVana miRNA Isolation Kit (cat # AM1560, Life Technologies, United States) to extract miRNA. After confirming good quality RNA by NanoDrop 2000c (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States), we made complimentary DNA using TaqMan® MicroRNA reverse transcription kit (cat # 4366597, Life Technologies, United States), and then amplified miRNA by qPCR using Taqman primers specific for miR-133a (Assay ID-002246, Life Technologies, United States) and U6 SnRNA (assay ID: 001973, Life Technologies, United States). U6 SnRNA was endogenous control for miR-133a assay (Figure 5). We used Bio-Rad CFX qPCR instrument and analyzed the results by Bio-Rad CFX Manager3.0 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, United States).

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.
