The mRNA m6A was quantitatively evaluated by the m6A dot‐blot assay and the colorimetrically quantified by m6A RNA methylation assay. For RNA m6A dot‐blot assay, intact mRNA was purified from total RNA by using the Oligotex Direct mRNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, 72022). The concentration of purified mRNA was spectrophotometrically determined by using NanoDrop, and serial dilution of mRNA to 250 and 50 ng/μL was performed with RNAase‐free water. Then, the purified mRNA was denatured at 95°C for 15 min, followed by chilling on ice. Two microlitres of denatured RNA samples was applied to Hybond‐N+ membrane (GE, RPN303B). After UV cross‐linking on Stratalinker 2400, the membrane was washed in 1× Phosphate Buffered Saline with Tween 20 buffer, blocked in 5% skim milk and later incubated with anti‐m6A antibody overnight at 4°C. Afterwards, the membrane was washed with 1× TPST buffer and sequentially incubated with goat anti‐rabbit IgG‐Horseradish peroxidase (IgG‐HRP) antibody and Enhanced Chemiluminescence (ECL) solution for chemiluminescence reading on a Chemi system (Bio‐Rad). Meanwhile, membrane was stained with .02% methylene blue, serving as a reference. For colorimetric quantification of m6A RNA methylation, the RNA m6A level was detected by using the EpiQuikTM m6A RNA Methylation Kit (Epigentek, P‐9005‐96) following the manufacturer's protocol.

Foxp3-GFP reporter mice were immunized with MOG35–55 to induce EAE as described above. CNS tissue was harvested 17 days post injection, pooled from 9 mice, and CD4+Foxp3+ and CD4+Foxp3 TRBV13-2+ populations were isolated by flow cytometric sorting. 5′ RACE amplification of TCR alpha chains was performed as previously reported (24 ). Briefly mRNA was extracted using Oligotex Direct mRNA mini kit (QIAgen) and used as a template for cDNA amplification with the SMARTer PCR cDNA synthesis kit (Clontech). Amplified cDNA was cleaned using the PCR purification kit (QIAgen) and rearranged TCR products were amplified using a primer specific for the TCR alpha constant domain (5′ – TCAACTGGACCACAGCCTCAGCGTCA – 3′). Products were run on a 1% agarose gel and fragments between 500 and 700 bp were extracted using QIAgen gel purification kit. Extracted fragments were cloned into the PCR2.1-TOPO vector for miniprep and sequence analysis.

Determination of Primary MIR944 Transcripts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Poly A+ RNAs from human primary keratinocytes were extracted using the Oligotex Direct mRNA Mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) as per the manufacturer's protocol. Next, the 5′-end of primary MIR944 transcripts was determined by 5′RACE using a SMARTer RACE cDNA Amplification kit (Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA), followed by a nested PCR reaction. The first-stage of PCR utilized Universal Primer mix (forward primer) and a primary MIR944 transcript-specific primer (reverse primer: 5′-GGGCCTTTATTTGTCTTCCCTGCCA-3′). The second-stage PCR was performed with the Nested Universal Primer A (forward primer) and another primary MIR944 transcript-specific primer (reverse primer: 5′-GAGAGGCTGCAGGGAAGAGCAATCT-3′). The nested RACE products were separated on an agarose gel, extracted, cloned into the pMD18-T vector (Takara Bio Inc., Otsu, Japan), and sequenced.

Two T7-phage cDNA libraries were constructed using tissues from AAH or SCD patients. Total RNA was extracted and purified by using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). PolyA mRNA was isolated from total RNA by Oligotex Direct mRNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) and mRNA concentration was measured by mRNA Concentration Module (Invitrogen). Equal amounts of mRNA from either 3 AAH or 3 SCD tissue samples were pooled and reverse transcribed to cDNA with random primers, ligated with EcoRI/HindIII linkers, and cloned into T7 select 10-3b vector arms of phage using the T7Select system (Novagen) according to the manufacturers instructions. After in vitro packaging, a phage library was obtained, and the titer of the phage library was tested using a plaque assay to determine the number of recombinants (inserts) generated within the library.

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.
