In situ RNA Hybridization of Wheat WAPO1 Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed in situ RNA hybridization following the protocol described previously [21 (link)]. Tissues were obtained from developing spikes of diploid T. monococcum (accession PI 167615) and tetraploid wheat cultivar Kronos. cDNAs obtained from T. monococcum and Kronos were used to amplify WAPO1 genes for the in vitro transcription reaction. We designed wheat A-genome specific primers appended with promoter sequences of T3 and T7 (S1 Table). Probes were synthesized using T3 (sense probe) or T7 (antisense probe) RNA Polymerase (Roche) and labelled with Digoxigenin-11-UTP (Roche). The forward primer P3-WM-APO1-T3-F1400 starts 57 bp upstream of the stop codon and two alternative reverse primers P4-WM-APO1-T7-R1649 and P5-WM-APO1-T7-R1843 end in the 3’ UTR and include a total of 266 and 458 bp respectively (S1 Table). The P3-P4 and P3-P5 probes showed the same specificity. The color reaction was stopped at 48 or 72 hours, and images were taken by Nikon Ti Microscope equipped with a DS-Fi2-U3 camera.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
According to Thisse and Thisse (2004) , the full-length sequence of mpv17l2 (ENSDARG00000056367) was PCR amplified from liver complementary DNA (cDNA) of adult zebrafish, using the following primers, designed by Primer3 software (http://primer3.ut.ee): mpv17l2 probe-F, 5′-CGACTCATGTTGGCTGCTC-3′; mpv17l2 probe-R, 5′-GCCCAGCGTATGTCACAAAT-3′. The PCR products were purified, then cloned into pCR2.1 TOPO vector (TOPO TA Cloning Dual Promoter Kit, Stratagene) and sequence verified. For riboprobe in vitro transcription, the constructs were linearized with the appropriate endonuclease enzyme (Promega) and transcribed with DIG-labelling mix and RNA polymerase (Roche): for antisense (working) riboprobe, HindIII/T7 RNApol; for sense (negative control) probe, NotI/SP6 RNApol. Whole-mount ISH was performed on zebrafish larvae at 3 dpf, previously fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA)/PBS and stored in 100% methanol, following standard protocols. At least 20 larvae per condition were processed in a single tube. For signal comparison, wild-type control and mpv17−/− mutant larvae were co-processed and co-stained in the same tube; controls were recognized by tail tip excision, performed after PFA fixation and before whole-mount ISH.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole mount in situ hybridisation (WMISH) was carried out as described (Monsoro-Burq, 2007 ) with digoxigenin-labelled RNA probes. Antisense (AS) probes were generated from linearised cDNA clones in vitro with the appropriate RNA polymerase (Roche) and digoxigenin-11-UTP. The following AS probes were transcribed with T7 RNA polymerase from plasmids linearised with EcoRI unless otherwise specified: pGEM-5Zf(-)[noggin] (W. C. Smith and Harland, 1992 (link)); pBS-SK(-)[goosecoid] (Cho et al., 1991 (link)); pBS-SK(-)[chordin] (Sasai et al., 1994 (link)); pGEM1[wnt8a] linearised with BamHI (Christian et al., 1991 (link)); pBS-SK(+)[bmp4]; pCS2(+)[not1] linearised with XhoI (Dassow et al., 1993 (link)); pCMV-Sport6.ccdB[msgn1] (Gentsch et al., 2013 (link)); pGEM-T[c8orf4] linearised with NdeI; pGEM-T[Xetrov72022004] linearised with SacI; pGEM-T[K00726] linearised with SacI; and pGEM-T[cpe] linearised with ApaI and transcribed with SP6 RNA polymerase. After DNase treatment, probes were precipitated with LiCl overnight at − 20 °C and rinsed with 80% EtOH. The precipitate was dissolved with RNase-free water. The WMISH probes were diluted with hybridisation buffer (50% [v/v] formamide, 5x SSC, 1x Denhardt's, 10 mM EDTA, 1 mg/ml torula RNA, 100 μg/ml heparin, 0.1% [v/v] Tween-20% and 0.1% [w/v] CHAPS) to a final concentration of 10 ng/µl (10x stock).

The following antisense digoxigenin-labeled probes were used: id1, her4.1, ascl1a and notch3 [71 (link)]. The bmp2a, bmp7a, bmp7b [72 (link)] and bmpr2b [73 (link)] probes were amplified by PCR from zebrafish embryonic cDNA (primers see Table S3), then cloned into the pGEM-T easy vector (Promega). bmp2b and bmp4 were kindly provided by Matthias Hammerschmidt [74 ] and bmpr1ab by Jeroen Bakkers [75 (link)]. Briefly for probe synthesis, 1 μg of each plasmid was linearized using appropriate restriction enzymes for 30 min at 37 °C. After deactivation of the restriction enzyme (see Table S4) at 80 °C for 5 min, the plasmid was used for in-vitro RNA transcription in the presence of DIG labelling mix (Roche) and RNA Polymerase (see Table S4) and incubated for 3 h at 37 °C. The reaction was stopped by adding 0.2 M EDTA, pH8 and purified using the ProbeQuant G50 Micro column kit (GE Healthcare). The probe was then diluted 1:1 using hybridization buffer [50 (link)] for storage at −20 °C.

In situ hybridization was carried out using probes specific to the hsa_circ_0011385 sequence. Biotin-labelled specific RNA probes were transcribed from hsa_circ_0011385 PCR fragments using the biotin-labelling mix and RNA polymerase (Roche, China) according to instructions provided by manufacturers. After growth to the exponential phase, MGC-803 cells were fixed using 4% formalin. Tissue were cut into 4 μm sections and then fixed with 4% formalin. Cells and tissues were then hybridized in hybridization buffer with biotin-labeled probes specific to hsa_circ_0011385. Signals were measured by tyramide-conjugated Alexa 488 fluorochrome tyramide signal amplification (TSA) kit. The results were viewed using a Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope (Leica, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plasmid for Plxna3 riboprobe was kindly provided by Professor Joost Verhaagen (Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, Amsterdam). Sense and anti-sense probes were produced by restriction endonuclease (RE; New England Biolabs, USA) digest followed by in vitro RNA transcription (IVT) with digoxigenin labelled RNA (Roche, Australia) and RNA polymerase (Roche, Australia). RE used were: sense, Kpn I; anti-sense, Spe I. Riboprobes were hydrolysed for one hour at 60°C, precipitated with LiCl and 100% ethanol, resuspended in DEPC treated double deionised water (DDW), and stored at −80°C before use.
P1 and P7 retinal sections were processed for ISH with the above riboprobe using methodology previously described [27 (link)], with α-dig-AP fragments (Roche, Australia) and NBT/BCIP (Roche, Australia). Sections were differentiated in 70% ethanol if necessary, and stored in PBS before proceeding to immunohistochemistry (IHC). Sense riboprobes produced limited, diffuse staining, and all experimental runs showed positive anti-sense riboprobe staining in control tissue (adult rat cerebellum; data not shown).

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.
