Total RNA (100 ng) was labelled by a Whole Transcript Sense Target Assay and hybridized to mouse whole-genome Affymetrix Gene 1.1 ST arrays targeting 21,115 unique genes (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Hybridization, washing, and scanning of all Affymetrix Genechips was performed according to standard Affymetrix protocols. Scans of the Affymetrix arrays were processed using the Affymetrix GeneTitan Instrument.
Quality control was performed on raw data by assessing the signal distribution by using scatter plot, MA-plot and a normal probability plot. Positive (landmark) and negative (blank) spots were used in the quality control and not used in further analyses. Normalized data were visualized by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for additional quality assessment. The gene expression data have been deposited in NCBI's Gene Expression Omnibus (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/) and are accessible through GEO Series accession number GSE102016.

Microarray Hybridization Sample Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sample preparation for microarray hybridization was carried out as described in the Ambion WT Expression Kit Protocol (Thermo Scientific) and the Affymetrix WT Terminal Labeling and Hybridization User Manual (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA).  In brief, 200–300 ng of extracted RNA were reverse transcribed, using an rRNA-depleted random primer mix, as provided in the Ambion WT Expression Kit, followed by an in vitro transcription reaction. 8–12 μg of in vitro transcribed antisense RNA were purified and reverse transcribed into dUTP-containing sense-strand- (ss-) cDNA. Purified ss-cDNA was fragmented using a combination of uracil DNA glycosylase (UDG) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE 1), followed by terminal labeling with biotin. This process yielded between 1 and 3 μg fragmented and labeled ss-cDNA, which were hybridized to Affymetrix Human Gene 1.1 ST PEG plate arrays. Hybridization, washing, staining, and array scanning were performed with a GeneTitan® instrument (Affymetrix).
Summarized probe set signals were calculated by applying the RMA [21 (link)] algorithm as implemented in the Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Console Software. The result file was exported in  .txt format, and fold change/significance calculations were done in Microsoft Excel.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA (2 ng) isolated from laser-assisted microdissected tissue (somatosensory as well as motor cortex derived from four control and four d10 microglia-depleted mice) was transcribed, amplified and labeled using the GeneChip WT Pico Reagent Kit (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and subsequently hybridized to a GeneChip® Mouse Gene 2.1 ST 16-Array Plate (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For microarray processing (washing, hybridization, signal detection), a GeneTitan® instrument (Affymetrix) was used. The raw data were processed by the Affymetrix Gene Chip Command Console (AGCC) and normalization was performed using the Affymetrix Expression Console (EC). Additionally, quality control was done with the EC by calculating several metrics (AUC, PM-mean, BG-mean, MAD, RLE, spike-ins). After quantile normalization, the data were exported to CHP files, which can be read by the Affymetrix Transcriptome Analysis Console (TAC).

Total RNA was harvested from the cells using an RNeasy Plus kit (Qiagen, Crawley, UK), according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA was quantified and quality-controlled using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA) and 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) to determine RNA purity and integrity. Replicate 250-ng samples of total RNA, derived from two separate wells/time-point, were first processed using the Ambion WT Expression Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) to generate amplified and biotinylated sense-strand DNA targets from the entire genome without bias. Sense-strand DNA samples were then labeled and hybridized to the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.1 ST Array Plate using the GeneChip WT terminal labeling and hybridization kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Individual arrays interrogate >28,000 annotated transcripts using >770,000 distinct probes. Hybridization, washing, and scanning of the 64 arrays were performed in a single run using the Affymetrix GeneTitan instrument, according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Preprocessed and normalized data for RNAseq gene expression, microRNA expression, copy number alterations, protein expression, somatic mutations, and clinical data for lung adenocarcinomas characterized by The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were obtained from the TCGA Web site. Processed gene expression data, somatic mutations, and clinical information for other publicly available data sets were downloaded from Gene Expression Ominbus (GEO) and ArrayExpress or from individual Web sites, as listed in Supplementary Table S1 (Supplementary Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JTO/A585). In cases where data were presented as linear expression values, log2 transformed values were used. The status of LKB1 loss in NSCLC cell lines was taken from various previous studies given in Supplementary Data File 1 (Supplementary Digital Content 2, http://links.lww.com/JTO/A586).
Gene expression analysis of A549 and H2122 cell lines transduced with pBABE, LKB1, or LKB1-K78I was performed using HT Human Gene 1.1 ST PM16 array plate using a GeneTitan instrument (Affymetrix; Santa Clara, CA). They were then scanned on the Affymetrix Gene Titan AGCC v. 3.2.3 and then analyzed on Affymetrix Expression Console v. 1.1 using an robust multi-array average (RMA) normalization algorithm producing log2 results. These data are available from GEO data repository (GSE51266).

Microarray profiling was performed on 140 untreated or laser-treated samples using the HG-U219 array (Affymetrix) as similarly described for the aged dermis samples [8 (link)]. Flash-frozen, bisected 4 mm full-thickness skin punch biopsies were homogenized in TRIzol reagent (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) and total RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA was further purified using RNEasy spin columns (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Biotinylated cRNA libraries were synthesized from 500 ng of total RNA using the Affymetrix HT 3’ IVT Express kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA) and the Beckman Biomek FXp Laboratory Automation Workstation (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA). Biotinylated cRNA was subsequently fragmented by limited alkaline hydrolysis and then hybridized overnight to the Affymetrix Human Genome U219-96 GeneTitan array. Plates were scanned using the Affymetrix GeneTitan Instrument utilizing AGCC GeneTitan Instrument Control software version 4.2.0.1566. Image data was summarized using Affymetrix PLIER algorithm with quantile normalization. Microarray data from this study as well as the aged dermis study have been deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under GSE168760 and GSE139300, respectively.

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.
