High-quality RNA Extraction from Cell Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TRIzol-chloroform extraction was used to isolate total RNA from flow sorted cell pellets. Extracted RNA samples were resuspended in Ambion Nuclease-free water (Life Technologies Corporation), snap frozen, and stored at −80°C. An optimized proteinase K/acid phenol protocol was used to extract RNA from LCM samples (Khodosevich et al. 2007 (link)). Briefly, cells collected in lysis buffer were incubated at 55°C overnight, and the RNA was isolated in 1:1 phenol (pH 4.2) and chloroform. Total RNA was resuspended in Ambion Nuclease-free water (Life Technologies Corporation), and treated with DNAse prior to storage at −80°C and quality assessment.
RNA was treated with TURBO DNA-free kit (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) to eliminate residual DNA prior to quality and yield analysis using the Agilent Eukaryotic Total RNA 6000. RNA quantification was performed using the Quant-iT™ RNA assay kit on a Qubit™ Fluorometer (Life Technologies Corporation).

DNA was extracted from two replicates of five F0/F1 third-instar female/male larvae representing the control, E. coli and S. entomophila treatment groups using the GenEluteTM Mammalian Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit (Sigma-Aldrich). For each sample, the larvae were homogenized in liquid nitrogen and 150–200 μg of the resulting powder was used for DNA isolation, with a final elution volume of 100 μl. The DNA was precipitated by adding 10 μl 3 M sodium acetate (Carl Roth) and 200 μl ice-cold 100% (v/v) ethanol (Carl Roth), incubating at −20°C for at least for 2 h, and centrifuging at 4°C at 13,000 × g in a microfuge for 15 min (Sambrook and Russell, 2000 ). The pellet was washed with 20 μl ice-cold 70% (v/v) ethanol in Ambion nuclease-free water (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and dried at room temperature for 15 min before dissolving in 50 μl nuclease-free water on ice for 30 min. The DNA concentration was measured using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). If the A260/A230 ratio was less than 1.5, the DNA was purified using the NucleoSpin® gDNA Clean-up kit (Macherey-Nagel) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

RNA and DNA Extraction from Whole Blood

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The same volume of Ambion nuclease-free water (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Tokyo, Japan) was added to all whole blood samples (in EDTA) for dilution, followed by mixing with a triplicate volume of TRIzol LS Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Tokyo, Japan); the samples were stored at −80 °C until use. RNA was then extracted from the mixture of TRIzol LS Reagent and whole blood according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, we added 0.2 mL of chloroform into 0.75 mL of the mixture of TRIzol LS Reagent and whole blood samples for lysis. After centrifugation for 10 min at 12,000× g and 4 °C, the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in 1 mL of 75% ethanol to centrifuge again. After removing the supernatant, the sample was air-dried and 20–50 µL of Ambion nuclease-free water was added. DNA was extracted from the blood samples using Wizard Genomic DNA Purification Kit (Promega Corp., Tokyo, Japan) at each time point to measure the PVL using the BLV-CoCoMo-qPCR-2 method [32 (link),43 (link),44 (link)].

Preparation of Unconjugated and Conjugated siRNAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unconjugated siRNA 7 (Scheme 1) was prepared by mixing equimolar amounts of sense (4ss) and antisense strands (4as) and annealed by heating in a water bath at 95°C for 5 min followed by cooling to RT to obtain the duplex. The β-lactam linker-conjugated sense strands were annealed with their complementary antisense strands. For this, aqueous solutions of purified 4ss-BL, 6ss-BL, BL-5ss and BL-5ss-bio were analyzed by UV spectrophotometry to obtain an exact concentration. A subsequent equimolar amount of antisense strand (4as complementary to 4ss-BL, BL-5ss and BL-5ss-bio; 6as complementary to 6ss-BL) was added at a concentration of 20–100 mg/ml in water. The combined strands were vortexed for 30 s and centrifuged to the bottom of a conical tube. For low temperature annealing, the strands were frozen on dry ice and lyophilized to a powder. This afforded siRNAs 4, 6, 5 and 5-bio respectively (Scheme 1, Supplementary Table S2). All siRNAs were dissolved in Ambion nuclease-free water (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to a working concentration of 2.27 or 2.75 mM and stored as aliquots at –80°C. Quality control of the siRNAs included analyses for purity, endotoxins and osmolality.

DNA was extracted from 40 whole blood samples using an Invitrogen® PureLink™ Genomic DNA Mini kit (Life Technologies Inc.). Aliquots (20 µl) of the 40 DNA extracts (nos. 1-40) were diluted by adding nine volumes (180 µl) of Ambion® Nuclease-Free Water (Life Technologies Inc.) to obtain 10-fold dilutions of the DNA solutions (final volume, 200 µl). The Promega® stock solutions 9948 Male DNA and 2800M control DNA standards (10 ng/µl; 25 µl; Promega, Corp., Madison, WI, USA) were added with nine volumes (225 µl) of Ambion® Nuclease-Free Water, to obtain 10-fold dilutions of the standard samples (final volume, 250 µl).

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.
