Detection of miR135b-5p in Tissue Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The detection of miR135b-5p expression in tissue sections was performed using the miRCURY LNA microRNA Detection Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) as described.32 (link) Staining was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded patient tissues. Briefly, the sections were dewaxed in Roti-Histol (Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany, rehydrated in 2-propanol, treated with proteinase K (15 mg/mL; QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) and air dried. Hybridization was performed for 2 h at 52°C, using a miR-135b-5p-specific sequence; the sequence of the digoxigenin-labeled locked nucleic acid (LNA) detection probe was 5′- TCACATAGGAATGAAAAGCCA-3′. A scrambled miRNA probe was used as a negative control. After stringent washes, the bound LNA probes were detected with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated digoxigenin Ab (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) and nitroblue tetrazolium/5-bromo-4-chloro-3'-indolyphosphate p-toluidine (NBT/BCIP; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) as the substrate. Nuclear Fast Red (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) was used for nuclear staining. The sections were mounted using Roti-Mount FluorCare.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Detection Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) was used according to the instructions of the manufacturer. A H19 probe, which was labeled with digoxigenin (DIG) at the 3′ and 5′ ends, was hybridized to PDAC tissue at 54 °C for 2 h. The sequence of the H19 probe was 5′-AATGCTTGAAGGCTGCTCCGT-3′. After stringent washes, the bound H19 probe was detected with nitroblue tetrazolium/5-bromo-4-chloro-3′-indolyphosphate p-toluidine (NBT/BCIP; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA), which served as a substrate. For nuclear staining, the slices of patient tissue were incubated in Fast Red (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) for 1 min.

miRNA Expression Analysis in PDAC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Detection Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) was used to detect the expression of miRs in PDAC tissue sections according to the instructions of the manufacturer. The hybridization was performed for 2 h at 54 °C using a specific 3′,5′ digoxigenin (DIG)‑labeled LNA miR detection probe. A scrambled, DIG-labeled miR served as a negative control. The sequences of the miR probes were as follows: hsa-miR-378i: 5′-DiGN-CCTTCTGACTCCTAGTCCAGT-3′-DiGN_N; hsa-miR-378a-3p: 5′-DiGN-CCTTCTGACTCCAAGTCCAGT-3′-DiGN_N. The bound miR probes were detected with nitroblue tetrazolium/5-bromo-4-chloro-30-indolyl phosphate p-toluidine (NBT/BCIP; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA), which served as a substrate. For nuclear staining, patient tissue slices were incubated in Fast Red (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Positive signals in ten randomly selected fields were counted blindly by two examiners.

qRT-PCR was performed for miR-21 as described above. CISH was performed on FFPE tissue sections using a miRCURY LNA microRNA detection kit (Exiqon, details in supplementary materials). For the miR-21 transfection study, 15-PGDH-directed miR-21 (UAGUCAGACUAUUCGAu) was constructed as previously described17 (link). The miR-21 and scramble mimic were transfected into gastric cancer cells using RNAiMAX (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

miR-132 Expression Detection in Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Detection of miR-132 expression in tissue sections was achieved using miRCURY LNA™ microRNA Detection Kit (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) as described (32 (link)). Staining was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded patient tissues. Briefly, sections were dewaxed in Roti-Histol (Carl Roth GmbH & Co. KG, Karlsruhe, Germany), rehydrated in 2-propanol, treated with proteinase K (15 µg/ml) and air-dried. Hybridization was performed for 2 h at 58°C using a miR-132-specific, digoxigenin-labeled locked nucleic acid (LNA) detection probe and a scrambled miR as a negative control. After stringent washes, the bound LNA probes were detected with an alkaline phosphatase-coupled digoxigenin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) and NBT/BCIP (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) as the substrate. The sections were mounted using Roti-Mount FluorCare (Carl Roth GmbH& Co. KG) containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylin-dole (DAPI) as a counterstain.

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.
