Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, Milan, Italy); RNA concentration and purity was determined by using a NanoPhotometer spectrophotometer (IMPLEN) and the RNA integrity (RIN) checked with a 2100 Bioanalyzer and a RNA 6000 Nano LabChip kit (Agilent Technologies). The labeling and hybridization steps were carried out according to the Agilent protocol (Two‐Color Microarray‐Based Gene Expression Analysis version 5.7), using a two‐color design in which HCT‐8/R cells were contrasted within parental HCT‐8.. The labeled samples were hybridized to Agilent Human GE 4 × 44K microarray in Agilent microarray chambers (G2534A) at 65° for 18 h. GE arrays were scanned using a Genepix 4000B microarray scanner at 5‐μm resolution (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA, USA). Image analysis and initial quality control were performed using the Agilent Feature Extraction Software v9.5. Differentially genes were identified by t‐test, comparing normalized red (HCT‐8/R) versus green (parental HCT‐8) signals. Pathways analysis was performed using GO‐elite version 1.2 beta (http://www.genmapp. org/go_elite).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aminoallyl-labeled aRNA was coupled to fluorescent Cy3 dye (Post labeling reactive Cy-Dye packs, Amersham) as previously described (Caimano et al., 2007 (link)). Dye-labeled aRNA was fragmented at 70°C for 15 min using the Ambion fragmentation reagent (Ambion) prior to array hybridization. B. burgdorferi 70-mer oligonucleotide arrays, array hybridization, scanning and data acquisition were all done as described previously (Caimano et al., 2007 (link)). As an internal standard for array hybridization, 3 μg of B. burgdorferi genomic DNA was labeled with Cy5 fluorescent dye (Amersham) and hybridized simultaneously with Cy3-labeled aRNA. Arrays were scanned on a GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments). Data acquired using GenePix software were transferred to Microsoft Excel for background subtraction, normalization and filtering essentially as described (Caimano et al., 2007 (link)). Microarray data are available in the ArrayExpress database (www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress) under accession number E-MTAB-2957.

Identifying LNC942 Binding Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HuProtTM human proteome microarray (Wayen Biotechnologies, Shanghai) was used to identify potent LNC942 binding proteins.20 Briefly, proteome microarrays were blocked with a pre‐cold SuperBlock T20 Blocking Buffer (Thermo Scientific, USA) for 2 h with gentle agitation. The microarrays were washed with TBST (Tis buffered saline + Tween) and incubated with biotin‐labelled anti‐sense (control) or sense LNC942 probes for 1 h at RT. After being washed in TBST, the dried microarrays were scanned with a GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, USA) to evaluate the results. Both probes corresponding to a protein were required to have a z‐score of ⩾3 in two repeated array experiments was considered a positive interaction, resulting in 209 positive hits.

Profiling miRNA Expression in Obese Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA of the CC from obese rats with or without ED was harvested and extracted using Trizol reagent (Invitrogen, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration and purity of RNA were determined by measuring absorbance in a spectrophotometer at 260 and 280 nm. Quantified RNA samples were labeled using the miRCURYTM array labeling kit (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) and hybridized on the miRCURYTM array microarray kit (Exiqon). After washing, the microarrays were scanned with a GenePix4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and analyzed with Pro 6.0 software (Axon Instruments). Expression data were normalized using median normalization. After normalization, average values of the replicate spots of each miRNA were used for statistical analysis. Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified as a fold change greater than 1.5.

Microarray Analysis of Orm1 Knockdown in Mouse Liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from mouse liver tissues at 48 h after PH treated with siControl or siOrm as described above. After fragmentation of complementary RNA, microarray studies were performed by the RIKEN Research Resource Center using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array. The arrays were scanned using a GenePix4000B Microarray Scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA, USA). Data analysis was performed with GeneSpring GX13.0 (Agilent Technologies). Signal intensities for each probe were normalized to the 75th percentile without baseline transformation. Genes that were differentially expressed following Orm1 knockdown were identified by a fold change of > 2 and selected for pathway analysis. All data are MIAME compliant, and the raw data have been deposited in the Gene Expression Omnibus (RRID: SCR_007303, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo, accession no. GSE83733).

Total cellular RNA was purified from cells cultured under hypoxic conditions using TRIzol® reagent and the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen GmbH) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The RNA samples were quantified using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), and then labeled using the miRCURY™ Hy3™/Hy5™ Power labelling kit (Qiagen GmbH). The labelled samples were hybridized to a microarray (NimbleGen Systems, Inc.) for 16-20 h, and the array sections were scanned using the GenePix 4000B micro-array scanner (Axon Instruments). The results were read and analyzed using GenePix Pro V6.0 (Molecular Devices, LLC). A heat map diagram was used to display the data for two-way hierarchical clustering of genes and samples.

After the differentiation of hMSCs, mature adipocytes were treated with 100 μmol/L of EA. Twenty-four hours later, the supernatant was discarded, and then, the adipocytes were washed with ice-cold PBS 3 times and collected and stored at -80°C. To gain insight into the variably and characteristically expressed adipokines in adipocytes, chips of RayBio Human Labelbased Antibody Array I (AAH-ADI-M) were applied to measure the expression levels of 62 adipokines simultaneously, and the presence of adipokines was identified by the Genepix 4000B Microarray Scanner (Axon Instruments, Inc., USA).

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.
