DNA samples, extracted from leukocyte, were digested with restriction enzymes Hinf and Risa (1 μg each; Roche, Mannheim, Germany). Sixteen DNA samples (17 μg each), high and low DNA control (17 μg each), and 2 DNA ladders (l kb) were resolved on a 0.8% agarose gel (20 cm×20 cm) at 100 V in 1×TAE buffer. After 8 hr, the DNA was depurinated for approximately 5–10 min in 0.25 bM HCl solution until the bromophenol blue stain changed its color to yellow, denatured for 15 min ×2 in 0.5-M NaOH, 1.5-M NaCl, and neutralized for 15 min ×2 in 0.5-M Tris, 3-M NaCl, pH 7.5. The DNA was transferred overnight to a positively charged nylon membrane using 20×saline-sodium citrate (SSC). After Southern blot transfer, the transferred DNA was fixed on the wet blotting membrane by ultraviolet-crosslinking (120 mJ) and membranes were baked at 65°C for 4 hr. The membranes were prehybridized at 42°C with prewarmed DIG Easy Hyb for 4 hr (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) and hybridized overnight at 42°C with prewarmed DIG Easy Hyb and a 1-μL telomere probe (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). The membranes were washed twice with 2×SSC for 5 min and twice with 0.2×SSC for 20 min at 50°C.

A sensitive non-radioactive northern blot method to detect miRNAs was performed as above (42 (link)). The northern blot analysis was carried out using microRNA Detection Probes with DIG-labeling (Exiqon) and a chemiluminescent reaction by enzyme-immunoassay. Firstly, equal amount of in vitro processing RNA substrate was dissolved in TBE-Urea Sample Buffer (Invitrogen), and heated at 95°C for 5 min then rapidly cooled on ice. The RNA was then loaded onto a denaturing 15% polyacrylmide–7.5 M urea gel and transferred electrophoretically to Hybond Nmembranes (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The membrane was dried at 80°C for 10 min and then pre-hybridized in 10 ml of pre-heated DIG Easy Hyb (Roche) at 45°C for 1 h. The membrane was hybridized overnight with the hsa-miR-21 DIG labeled LNA-DNA probe (Exiqon) at the concentration of 5 pmol/ml in hybridization oven at 53°C. After hybridization and washing, the membrane was detected with DIG Luminescent Detection Kit (Roche) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lastly, the membrane was exposed to Amersham Hyperfilm ECL (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Piscataway, NJ). The bar graphs corresponding to the northern blots were generated through densitometric analysis with ImageJ software.

Determination of the thiolation status of mt-tRNAs was carried out as previously described [18 (link), 79 (link)]. Briefly, a volume of approximately 500 μl of worm pellet obtained from mixed-stage populations of liquid-cultured worms was processed using the “Isolation of small and large RNA” NucleoSpin miRNA kit (Macherey-Nagel) and the manufacturer’s instructions. 10 to 20 μg of total small RNA were run on 10% polyacrylamide/8 M urea gels with or without 0.01 mg/ml APM ([p-(N-acrylamino)-phenyl]mercuric chloride). APM was synthesized and kindly provided by Prof. Stephane Vincent [30 (link)]. Gels were run at 200 V for 3 h at 4°C and electroblotted onto positively charged nylon membranes. The RNA was crosslinked to the membrane by exposure to UV light for 2 min and baking at 80°C for 45 min. Pre-hybridization and hybridization were performed with Dig Easy Hyb (Roche) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. mt-tRNAs were detected with specific DIG-labeled synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (S2 Table) used at 10 nM final concentration. The blots were detected using the DIG luminescent detection CDP-Star kit (Roche) according to the manufacturer´s instructions.

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.
