Mircury lnatm universal rt microrna pcr

Manufactured by Qiagen
Sourced in Germany

The MiRCURY LNATM Universal RT microRNA PCR is a laboratory instrument designed for the detection and quantification of microRNA (miRNA) expression. It utilizes a universal reverse transcription (RT) reaction and a microRNA-specific quantitative PCR (qPCR) approach to enable sensitive and accurate miRNA profiling.

Quantifying miR-9 Expression in Carcinoma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNA was synthesized using miRCURY LNATM Universal RT microRNA PCR, Universal cDNA Synthesis Kit II (Qiagen), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The expression level of miR-9 was obtained using miRCURY LNATM Universal RT microRNA PCR, Exilent SYBR® Green master mix (Qiagen). Quantitative PCR (qPCR) amplifications were performed in triplicate using the primers for hsa-miR-9-5p (YP00204513 - Qiagen) and hsa-SNORD49A (Qiagen) [44 (link)] on a LightCycler 480 (Roche Berlin, Germany). The quantification cycle (Cq) was used to calculate the relative miR-9 expression using normalization to hsa-SNORD49A (ΔCq).
miR-9 expression was compared between patients from the Low and High lamin A group, or between EMA− and EMA+ carcinoma cells, corresponding to lamin A− and lamin A+ carcinoma cells, respectively (ΔΔCq). miR-9 relative expression (fold change (Fc)) was calculated by the 2−ΔΔCq method [36 (link)]. miR-9 was considered as upregulated if the fold change was ≥ 2 and down-regulated if the fold change was ≤ 0.5.

Each sample of 20 ng RNA was reverse transcribed using a miRCURY LNATM Universal RT microRNA PCR (203907, Exiqon, Vedbaek, Copenhagen). Quantification of specific miRNAs relative expression was carried out with a miRCURY LNA microRNA PCR, ExiLENT SYBR Green master mix (203401, Exiqon, Vedbaek, Copenhagen). For the PCR reaction, cDNA was diluted 60 times. As a reference, hsa-miR-103a-3p was used. Primers for hsa-miR-324-3p (YP00204303), hsa-miR-328-3p (YP00204364), hsa-miR-99b-5p (YP00205983), hsa-miR-1260a (YP00205892), hsa-miR-361-5p (YP00206054), hsa-miR-484 (YP00205636), and the reference hsa-miR-103a-3p (YP00204063) were provided by Exiqon. All experiments were carried out three times. For the relative quantification of miRNA levels, the ‘ΔΔCq’ method was used [33 (link)].

Total Isolation and Quantitative Real-Time PCR miRNAs Analysis Total RNA was isolated from MVs using TRIzol Reagent, according to the manufacturer's instructions and measured by absorbance at 260 nm with a NanoDrop 1000 Spectrophotometer. RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using Universal cDNA synthesis kit II (Exiqon). The resulting cDNA transcript were used for PCR ampli cation using ExiLENT SYBR® Green Master Mix II (Exiqon) and miRNA speci c primer set (miRCURY LNA TM Universal RT microRNA PCR, Exiqon) for miR-223-3p, miR-181a-5p, miR-146a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-30c-5p and miR-23a-3p. The relative miRNA levels were calculated using the comparative Ct method, using miR-16-5p reference gene as endogenous control. miRNAs were chosen accordingly to previously published works in our research team (13) .

For miR-210 analysis, cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription with miRCURY LNATM Universal RT microRNA PCR (Exiqon-Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Final reaction volumes were 10 µL containing 2 µL of reaction buffer, 1 μL Reverse transcription mix, 5 µL of RNase-free water and 2 µL of template RNA. Real-time miRNA detection was performed using miRCURY LNATM Universal RT microRNA PCR ExiLENT SYBR® Green (Exiqon-Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) with 10 µL mixtures containing 5 µL of SYBR Green PCR Master mix, 1 of Primer Assay, and 4 µL of cDNA template. To normalize the miRNA expression, U6 snRNA (small nuclear RNA) expression was also quantified. The parameters for PCR amplification were 95 °C for 10 min followed by 40 cycles of 95 °C for 10 s and 60 °C for 1 min. miRNA qPCR was performed on ABI 7500 instrument (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Each reaction was run in triplicate with a non-template control. The relative expression was calculated by using the comparative delta Ct method. Data were expressed as fold-change relative to the mean of U6 values.

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.
