Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As we previously reported, rat miRNA microarray analysis was performed with the miRCURY™ LNA Array (version 11.0; Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) [29 (link), 31 (link)]. The L4–6 segments of the spinal cord were collected at 4 h after reperfusion. According to the manufacturer's instructions, 2.5 μg of total RNA was first labeled with the miRCURY™ Hy3™/Hy5™ Power labeling kit and then hybridized on a miRCURY™ LNA Array (version 18.0; Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark).
After removing nonspecifically bound proteins, the microarray slides were scanned by an Axon GenePix 4000B Microarray Scanner (Axon Instruments, CA, USA) for fluorescence detection, and the fluorescence intensities of the scanned images were loaded into the GenePix Pro 6.0 program (Axon Instruments) for feature extraction. The averages of the replicated miRs with intensities of 50 or more were used to calculate a normalization factor. After normalization by the median normalization method, the significantly different miRs were identified by volcano plot filtering. Finally, hierarchical clustering was performed to determine the differences in miR expression by MEV software (version 4.6, TIGR).

KangCheng Biosciences (Shanghai, China) performed the miRNA profiling analysis. To determine the miRNA profiles for the two groups, total RNAs were purified using TRIzol (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) and a miRNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Shenzhen, China), labeled using the miRCURY™ Hy3™/Hy5™ Power labeling kit (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) and hybridized on the specific miRCURY™ LNA Array (v.18.0, Exiqon, Denmark) platform. The Exiqon miRCURY™ LNA Array (v.18.0) contains 2043 capture probes covering all human miRNAs, and could quantify genome-wide miRNA expression in the two groups. Images on the chip were scanned using an Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA, USA) and imported into GenePix Pro 6.0 software (Axon) for grid alignment and data extraction. MiRNAs with intensities >50 were used to calculate the normalization factor. Expression data were normalized using the median normalization. After normalization, average values of replicate spots of each miRNA were used for statistical analysis; differentially expressed miRNAs were identified through fold change filtering. Data are presented as means ± standard deviations. Analysis of variance tests or unpaired two-tailed Student t tests were used for statistical analysis. The data were regarded as significantly different at P < 0.05.

Microarray analysis was performed by Kangcheng Bio-tech Inc. (Shanghai, China). To profile the expression of miRNAs, the miRNAs in the liver samples from 5 db/db mice and 5 control mice were analyzed by the miRCURYTM LNA Array (v.14.0 Exiqon). Total RNA was harvested using TRIzol (Invitrogen) and an RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The samples were labeled using the miRCURYTM Hy3TM/Hy5TM Power labeling kit and hybridized on the miRCURYTM LNA Array (v.14.0 Exiqon). Scanning was performed with an Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, Downingtown, PA, USA). GenePix pro V6.0 (Molecular Devices) was used to read the raw intensity of the image. The intensity of the green signal was calculated after background subtraction, and four replicated spots of each probe on the same slide were averaged. The median normalization method was used to obtain “Normalized Data”: Normalized Data = (Foreground-Background)/median, where the median was the 50% quartile of the miRNA intensity, which was larger than 50 in all samples after background correction25 (link).

According to the manufacturer’s instructions, we isolated the total RNA from parental and PRP4-transfected HCT116 cells using TRIzol reagent and miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). For each sample, 1 µg of total RNA was 3′-end-labeled with the HY3TM fluorescent label using the miRCURY™ HY3™/Hy5™ Power Labeling kit (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) and hybridized to miRCURY™ LNA Arrays (version 18.0), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The seventh generation of miRCURY™ LNA Arrays (Exiqon) contains 3100 capture probes covering all human, mouse, and rat miRNAs annotated in miRBase 18.0. In addition, this array includes capture probes for 25 miRPlus™ human miRNAs. We washed the slides several times after hybridization using the Wash buffer kit (Exiqon) and dried them by centrifugation for 5 min at 400 rpm. Then, we scanned the slides using the Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA, USA). We imported the scanned images into the GenePix Pro 6.0 software (Axon Instruments) for grid alignment and data extraction. We normalized the data to the median values, and we identified the differentially expressed miRNAs through fold change filtering.

The LNCaP cells treated with or without luteolin at its IC50 for 24 hours were harvested and subsequently analyzed using miRNA microarray (Kangcheng Biotech Company, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China). Briefly, total RNA was isolated from the cells using TRIzol reagent. The miRNA was separated from 30–50 mg of the total RNA, labeled with the miRCURY Hy3TM/Hy5TM Power Labeling Kit (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark), and hybridized to an miRCURY LNA Array (Exiqon, v11.0). Scanning was performed with an Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments Inc, Union City, CA, USA). GenePix Pro v6.0 was used to read the raw image intensity. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering was performed on the miRNA expression profile. Each miRNA present in the database was mapped to a precise location in the human genome using a Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) search with the default parameters and the maps available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Human Genome Resources (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). In addition, to validate the present study data, the clones corresponding to each miRNA were identified and mapped to the human genome.

Identifying Osteogenesis-related miRNAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A sixth generation miRCURY LNA Array (v.16.0; Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) was used to analyze differentially expressed miRNAs isolated from 2-mo-old Irs-1smla/smla mice. In all samples, miRNAs with intensities ≥50 were chosen to calculate the median intensity, with expression data normalized to that median intensity. Differentially expressed osteogenesis-related genes were analyzed with a mouse osteogenesis PCR Array (PAMM-026; SA Biosciences, Frederick, MD, USA), which comprises 84-key osteogenesis-related genes. The array was hybridized with 3 independent mouse RNA samples for each genotype. The raw data were analyzed to determine relative expression levels, calculated with the ΔΔCt method, with relative expression reported as 2−ΔΔCt according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After normalization, differentially expressed miRNAs and genes were identified with fold-change filtering. Three prediction algorithms (TargetScanS, miRanda, and PicTar) were used to identify the target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs. When the target gene of a differentially expressed miRNA was also a differentially expressed gene in the osteogenesis PCR array analyses, the gene and miRNA were selected for further study.

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.
