Pyrosequencing Methylation Assays for DMRs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primers for pyrosequencing methylation assays of DMRs were designed using the PyroMark Assay Design 2.0 Software (Qiagen, NL). For repetitive regions, we could not anchor primers to non-repetitive flanking sequences because the closest non-repetitive regions were farther than two kb from the differentially methylated CG sites. Hence, both PCR primers were located within the repeat and, in principle, could amplify more than one copy of the transposon. The list of primers for pyrosequencing methylation assays is provided in Table S3.
250 to 1000 ng of DNA per sample were treated with sodium bisulfite using EpiTect Bisulfite Kit (Qiagen, NL). Pyrosequencing was carried out using the PyroMark Q24 Advanced platform and PyroMark Q24 Advanced CpG Reagents (Qiagen, NL). Results were analyzed using the PyroMark Q24 Advanced software (Qiagen, NL).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We chose to analyse MGP transcript SNP rs4236 (T > C, OA risk allele = C, minor allele frequency = 0.37) as the difference in expression between its risk and non-risk alleles was the largest of those SNPs investigated in the original study [8 (link)]. The SNP was genotyped by pyrosequencing using the primers listed in Additional file 2: Table S2. The assay was designed using PyroMark assay design 2.0 (Qiagen), and the sequencing was performed using the PyroMark Q24 Advanced platform (Qiagen).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genotyping at rs10948172 was completed by pyrosequencing at proxy SNP rs529125 (r2=1.0). rs10948155 was genotyped directly by pyrosequencing. Genotype at rs62435998 was determined by a restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay using the enzyme HaeIII, which cuts at the C allele of the SNP. Both pyrosequencing RFLP analysis were carried out in patient DNA samples following polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the region encompassing the SNP (Table S2). For pyrosequencing, PCR products were analysed using the PyroMark Q24 Advanced platform (Qiagen) along with the appropriate sequencing primer (Table S3) and the manufacturer’s recommended reagents.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral venous blood samples were collected into EDTA-anticoagulate tubes. Genomic DNA was extracted using a E.Z.N.A. ® SQ Blood DNA Kit II (Omega Bio-Tek, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions and stored at -80 °C until use. Genotyping of UGT1A1 polymorphisms was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and pyrosequencing as described previously [32] . Briefly, The DNA fragments flanking the UGT1A1*28 or *6 polymorphisms were amplified using Mastercycler (Eppendorf, Germany) in a final reaction volume of 50 µl, which contained 2 µl DNA, 5 µl PCR buffer, 1.5 µl dNTP, 0.5 ul DNA polymerase, 0.05 nM of each amplification primer (Additional file 1: Table S1), and 40 μl sterile double-distilled water. The thermal cycling of PCR was used as follows: degeneration at 94 °C for 5 min; 35 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 58 °C or 66 °C for 30 s respectively, and 72 °C for 30 s; and a final extension 72 °C for 7 min. The PCR products were verified by agarose electrophoresis, followed by pyrosequencing on the PyroMark Q24 Advanced platform (Qiagen, Germany) using PyroMark Reagents (Qiagen, Germany) with the pyrosequencing primer (Additional file 1: Table S1). Genotyping results of each SNP were verified in 5% samples selected randomly using Sanger sequencing.

SNP Genotyping by Multiple Techniques

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SNPs were genotyped by pyrosequencing (rs11783799 and rs11136345), by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis (rs11780978 and rs7819099), or by a real‐time SNP genotyping assay (rs9100) (catalog no. 4351379; ThermoFisher Scientific). The rs11136336 SNP is in perfect linkage disequilibrium (r2 = 1.0) with rs11783799; the rs11783799 assay was therefore used to genotype rs11136336. Pyrosequencing and RFLP polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) were performed using a G‐Storm GS4 Q4 Quad Block Thermal Cycler (Somerton Biotechnology) and the primers listed in Supplementary Table 2 (available on the Arthritis & Rheumatology web site at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.40849/abstract). Pyrosequencing assays were designed using PyroMark assay design software 2.0 (Qiagen), and the sequencing was performed using a PyroMark Q24 Advanced platform (Qiagen) with the recommended kit, following the instructions of the manufacturer. The RFLP‐digested fragments were separated by electrophoresis through a 3% agarose gel and visualized using ethidium bromide staining. The rs9100 real‐time genotyping assay was run on a QuantStudio 3 (Applied Biosystems), using TaqPath ProAmp MasterMix (ThermoFisher) following the instructions of the manufacturer.

Amplicons were prepared for pyrosequencing on the PyroMark Q24 Advanced platform (QIAGEN) using PyroMark Q24 Advanced Reagents as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Codons for glycine 54 (Gly-54), leucine 98 (Leu-98), tyrosine 121 (Tyr-121), proline 216 (Pro-216), phenylalanine 219 (Phe-219), methionine 220 (Met-220), threonine 289 (Thr-289) and the region comprising promoter-associated TRs were analysed for polymorphisms (Figure 1) from January 2017. Codons glycine 138 (Gly-138), aspartic acid 427 (Asp-427), tyrosine 431 (Tyr-431), glycine 432 (Gly-432), glycine 434 (Gly-434) and glycine 448 (Gly-448) were screened from mid-September 2018. Individual assays were designed using the QIAGEN Assay Design software (QIAGEN) to span each polymorphism by de novo sequencing (SEQ) or allele quantification (AQ) depending on the multiplicity of the polymorphisms. SEQ assays were used for positions where multiple nucleotide polymorphisms were possible within one codon, whereas semi-quantitative AQ assays were designed for codons with multiple alleles at a single base-pair position (Figure 1 and Table S2). Both sense and anti-sense primers were used for pyrosequencing of 10 isolates during the validation phase, with results compared against Sanger sequencing of the same region.

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.
