Taqman mirna assay

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, China, Germany, Japan

TaqMan miRNA assays are a set of lab equipment designed for the quantitative detection and analysis of microRNA (miRNA) expression. These assays utilize the TaqMan technology, which enables highly sensitive and specific quantification of miRNA levels in a range of sample types. The core function of TaqMan miRNA assays is to provide researchers with a reliable tool for measuring the expression of miRNA molecules, which play important roles in various biological processes and disease states.

Quantitative miRNA Expression Analysis

qRT-PCR was carried out in duplicate using Taqman miRNA assays (Applied Biosystems) on a 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems). The PCR mixture (10 μL) contained 5 μL Taqman Universal PCR Mastermix (Applied Biosystems), 3.83 μL nuclease-free DEPC-treated water, 0.5 μL Taqman miRNA assay (Applied Biosystems), and 0.67 μL reverse-transcribed products. The reaction conditions were 40 amplification cycles of 95°C for 15 s and 60°C for 1 min in a 96-well optical plate. Cycle threshold (Ct) values were calculated by using same threshold cut-off values for each assay to prevent plate-to-plate variations while analyzing the data with the 7500 software package v.2.0.6 (Applied Biosystems). The expression levels of miRNAs were normalized to spiked-in cel-miR-39, and were calculated utilizing the 2-ΔCt method [22 (link)]. ΔCt was calculated by subtracting the Ct values of cel-miR-39 from the Ct values of the miRNA of interest.

We then confirmed miRNA expression of selected miRNA that controlled multiple genes and/or controlled pathways which are known to be important in vascular calcification, by real time PCR as previously described [17 (link)] using TaqMan miRNA assays (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Forty ng of total RNA were used for reverse transcription to synthesize complementary DNA using TaqMan miRNA-specific primers and the Taq reverse transcription kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). Target-specific PCR primers (miR-667, miR-702, miR-3562, miR-3568 and miR-3584) were obtained from Applied Biosystems. Real-time PCR amplifications were performed using TaqMan miRNA assays (TaqMan MGP probes, FAM dye-labeled) using Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR systems (Applied Biosystems). The cycle number at which the amplification plot crosses the threshold was calculated (CT), and the ΔΔCT method was used to analyze the relative changes in gene expression and normalized by U6, a non-human ubiquitous miRNA.

The biomarker candidates generated by the TaqMan miRNA array profiling were verified by TaqMan miRNA assays (Applied Biosystems) on the same set of samples used for the miRNA array analysis (n = 20). TaqMan miRNA assays containing specific miRNA genes were ordered from Applied Biosystems. The protocol was like that recommended by the manufacturer for creating custom RT and preamplification pools using TaqMan miRNA assays. There was no dilution of sample before the real-time PCR reaction. The qPCR reactions for each candidate miRNA were performed in duplicate on a Roche LightCycler 480 II (Roche). The average threshold cycle (Cq) was examined, and U6 small nuclear RNA was used as the reference gene for normalizing the data. The TaqMan miRNA assay was also used to assay miRNAs in the validation cohort.
