The preparation of RNA samples and microarray analysis were performed commercially
by RiboBio Co. Ltd (Guangzhou, China). In brief, total RNA of LECs treatment with
or without TGFβ2 was isolated using TRIzol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad,
CA, USA) and miRNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) according to the
manufacturer’s instructions, which efficiently recovers all RNA species,
including miRNAs. RNA quality and quantity were measured by nanodrop
spectrophotometer (ND-1000, Nanodrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA), and RNA
integrity was determined by gel electrophoresis. The isolated miRNAs were then
labeled with Hy3/Hy5 using the miRCURY Array Power Labeling kit (Exiqon,
Vedbaek, Denmark) and hybridized on a miRCURY LNA miRNA Array (v.18.0, Exiqon)
according to array manual. Following hybridization, the slides were achieved,
washed several times using wash buffer kit (Exiqon) and finally dried by
centrifugation for 5 min at 400 r.p.m. Then the slides were scanned using
the Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA,
USA). The scanned images were then imported into GenePix Pro 6.0 software (Axon
Instruments) for grid alignment and data extraction. Bioinformatics analysis and
visualization of microarray data were performed with MEV software (v4.6, TIGR).
The microarray assays were repeated three times each group.

Selection of Inflammation-related miRNAs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MiRNA were selected based on literature search. We used “inflammation”, “chronic stress”, and “resilience” as search terms and cross-compared results for miR103a-3p, miR107, miR130a-3p, and miR125a-5p in public data bases (miRbase [32 ], NCBI [33 ]). We then compared our results with those of a previous miRCURY LNA miRNA array taken by the profiling service of Exiqon (Exiqon Services, Vedbaek, Denmark) [9 (link)] and decided on four miRNA that had survived Benjamini-Hochberg correction (p < 0.05) and showed ≥ 60fold log-fold change.

miRNA Expression Profiling by Microarray

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 5 groups of samples were separately labeled using the miRCURY LNA miRNA Hy3/Hy5 Power Labeling kit (208030-A; Exiqon, Woburn, MA, USA) and hybridized on the miRCURY LNA miRNA array (version 14.0; 5th Gen Human; Exiqon). After the washing steps, the slides were scanned using the Axon GenePix 4000B Microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Scanned images were then imported into GenePix Pro 6.0 software (Axon; Molecular Devices) for grid alignment and data extraction. Replicated miRNAs were averaged and miRNAs with intensities >50 in all samples were selected for calculating the normalization factor. Expressed data were normalized using the median. Following normalization, differentially expressed miRNAs were identified through fold change filtering.

Total RNA was harvested from heart tissue and cardiomyocytes using Qiazol reagent (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentration of each sample was measured using a Nanodrop ND-2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Wilmington, DE, USA). For miRNA microarray analysis, miRNA expression profiling was conducted by miRNA microarray analysis using the miRCURY LNA™ miRNA Array (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) containing 700 mature rat miRNAs. The accuracy of the microarray data was validated using real-time PCR with TaqMan probes. For real-time PCR analysis, total RNA was reverse transcribed with stem-loop primers and the TaqMan® MicroRNA Reverse Transcription kit (Applied BioSystems, Foster City, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions [28 (link)]. Real-time PCR was performed in duplicate using the TaqMan® MicroRNA assay kit and TaqMan Universal PCR MasterMix (Applied Biosystems) for miRNA-23a and miRNA-92a, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Real-time PCR was performed using the LightCycler® 480 program (Roche) for 40 cycles, (10 s each, at 95°C, 60°C, 72°C). Relative miRNA expression levels were normalized using the RNU6B (U6) small non-coding RNA as an endogenous control. The information of TaqMan® MicroRNA assay kit is shown in S1 Table.

Kang Chen (Shanghai, China) performed the miRNA microarray screening after RNA isolation from the specimens. Total miRNAs from fecal specimens were labeled with miRCURY™ Hy3™/Hy5™ fluorescent dye using the miRCURY™ Power Labelling Kit (Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark) following the manufacturer’s guidelines, and then hybridized to the miRCURY™ LNA miRNA Array (version 18.0, Exiqon, Vedbaek, Denmark). The Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, USA) was used to scan the slides. The Axon GenePix 4000B microarray scanner (Molecular Devices, USA) was used to scan the slides. The data were extracted with Agilent Feature Extraction v10.7 software and analyzed with GeneSpring GX (version 13.0, Agilent Technologies, California, USA). After normalization, the absolute value of the fold change of gene expression was more than seven as a significant difference, and this method was used to screen DEMs.

All experiments were conducted at Exiqon Services. The quality of the total RNA was verified by an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer profile. Total RNA (250 ng) from sample and reference was labeled with Hy3 and Hy5 fluorescent label, respectively, using the miRCURY LNA miRNA Hi-Power Labelling Kit, Hy3/Hy5 (Exiqon, Denmark), following the procedure described by the manufacturer. The Hy3- labeled samples and a Hy5- labeled reference RNA sample were mixed pairwise and hybridized to the miRCURY LNA miRNA Array (sixth generation: hsa, mmu, and rno) (Exiqon, Denmark), which contains capture probes targeting all miRNAs for human, mouse, or rat registered in the miRBASE 16.0. The hybridization was performed according to the miRCURY LNA miRNA Array instruction manual using a Tecan HS 4800 hybridization station (Tecan, Austria). After hybridization, the microarray slides were scanned and stored in an ozone-free environment (ozone level below 2.0 parts per billion) to prevent potential bleaching of the fluorescent dyes. The miRCURY LNA array microarray slides were scanned using the Agilent G2565BA Microarray Scanner System (Agilent Technologies Inc.), and the image analysis was carried out using the ImaGene 9.0 software (BioDiscovery Inc.). The quantified signals were background-corrected (Normexp with an offset value of 10) and normalized using the Quantile normalization algorithm.

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.
