Smart-Seq2 Low-Input RNA Library Prep

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Given the minimal amount of RNA obtained from IVLE, the Smart-Seq2 protocol was adapted for low-input RNA library preparation (25 (link)). Two different amounts of input RNA, 12 ng and 3 ng, for each sample and its replicates were prepared. Polyadenylated mRNA was enriched using 5 mg/ml Dynabead Oligo(dT)20 in 1X PBS (pH 7.4) from mRNA DIRECT kit (Thermo Fisher). Beads were washed with 10mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM LiCl, 1mM EDTA pH 8.0, 0.1% w/v LiDS in nuclease free water and RNA eluted using 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 at 75°C for 2 minutes. The poly A-enriched RNA was reverse transcribed by Smart-Seq2 as described (25 (link)) with 10 reverse transcriptase cycles, and cDNA further amplified using IsoSeq PCR (ISPCR) primers with 10 or 11 PCR cycles. Dual indexed sequencing libraries were made out of 5 ng cDNA from the above preparations using Illumina Nextera library preparation kit according to manufacturer’s instructions (Illumina). Quality checked and equimolar pooled libraries were sequenced in a HiSeq 4000 Illumina system and 75bp paired- non-stranded- reads generated. Sequence data were deposited in the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) with the study number ERP128933; NCBI BioProject ID PRJEB44842 (accession numbers for each sample are shown in Supplementary Table S1).

NegCtrl and METTL3 KO cells were seeded in 6-well plates and infected one day later with rgEBOV (MOI = 1). 24 hpi, medium was exchanged against DMEM with 5% FCS containing 0.02 mg/ml Actinomycin D (Gibco), and 48 hpi supernatant was removed and cells were washed in 1 ml PBS per well. After centrifugation for 5 min at 1000 x g cell pellets were resuspended in 250 µl PBS and transferred to tubes containing 750 µl TRIzol (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and removed from the BSL4 laboratory. RNA was isolated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. mRNA was further isolated using the mRNA DIRECT Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer’s instructions, and subsequently used for miCLIP analysis without fragmentation as described previously [26 (link)].

Large-scale mRNA Purification and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For large-scale mRNA extractions, polyadenylated mRNA was enriched using 100 µl oligo dT agarose beads (NEB) per mg RNA. RNA was bound to the beads in binding buffer (1 M NH4OAc, 2 mM EDTA) for 5 min rotating at room temperature and washed once. RNA was eluted in room temperature water, filtered in SpinX (Corning) tubes to remove any beads, then precipitated in 2.5 M NH4OAc and isopropanol, centrifuged at 14 000 r.p.m. × 30 min and pellets washed in 75% ethanol.
To extract mRNA from HeLa cell samples an mRNA Direct kit (ThermoFisher) was used. Magnetic oligo dT beads (40 µl) were used per sample, but with the binding buffer and incubation times indicated above. mRNA was digested with 9.5 units of Nuclease P1 (Sigma) in 20 mM NH4OAC pH 5.3 for 3 h at 37°C. Then, 250 fmol of ARCA was added, and LC–MS was carried out as described above.

Human primary RPTECs were harvested at five different conditions for bulk RNA-seq with three biological replicates per group: (1) siNT treatment (control); (2) siNT and 6-hour 100 μM oleic acid exposure (siNT+Ole6hrs); (3) PLIN2 siRNA treatment and 6-hour 100 μM oleic acid exposure (siPLIN2+Ole6hrs), (4) siNT and 2-day normal medium exposure after 6-hour 100 μM oleic acid exposure (siNT+Ole6hrs+2d); and (5) siPLIN2+Ole6hrs+2d. RNA was extracted with RNeasy Kits (74104, Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s instruction. Libraries were generated with the poly-A selection method (mRNA Direct kit, Life Technologies) and sequenced with the NovaSeq 6000 S4 platform (2×150 bp) at a target of 30 million reads per library. RNA-seq reads were aligned and quantitated to the human reference genome Ensembl GRCh38.101 with an Illumina DRAGEN Bio-IT on-premise server running version 3.9.3–8 software. Differential expression analysis was performed with the exactTest function of edgeR v3.34.1 (Robinson et al., 2010 (link)). Genes with FDR < 0.01 were processed for GO enrichment analysis.

RNA-Seq Analysis of JW23.3 Cell Responses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
JW23.3 cells were treated with 40 μM WU-12a, 40 μM WU-76, or vehicle control (DMSO) for 48 hours. RNA was isolated as described above, and samples contained at least 5 ug of purified total RNA with RIN > 9.0. At least three biological replicates were performed. Samples were aligned against Mouse Ensembl GRCm38.76. Total RNA integrity was determined using Agilent Bioanalyzer or 4200 Tapestation. Library preparation was performed with 5 to 10ug of total RNA with a Bioanalyzer RIN score greater than 8.0. Ribosomal RNA was removed by poly-A selection using Oligo-dT beads (mRNA Direct kit, Life Technologies). mRNA was then fragmented in reverse transcriptase buffer and heating to 94 degrees for 8 minutes. mRNA was reverse transcribed to yield cDNA using SuperScript III RT enzyme (Life Technologies, per manufacturer’s instructions) and random hexamers. A second strand reaction was performed to yield ds-cDNA. cDNA was blunt ended, had an A base added to the 3’ ends, and then had Illumina sequencing adapters ligated to the ends. Ligated fragments were then amplified for 12-15 cycles using primers incorporating unique dual index tags. Fragments were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq-6000 using paired end reads extending 150 bases. Differential expression analysis was performed with the DESeq2 package (R Bioconductor software; RRID:SCR_015687).

Yeast cultures were grown to OD600 0.5 in 50 ml of a medium containing 1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% peptone, 2.0% raffinose, and 0.1% glucose. Expression of proteins was induced by adding galactose to 2% into the cultures and incubating the cultures at 30° for an additional 60 min. Cells were collected by centrifugation, and the pellets were scraped with spatula, flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at −80°. RNA was isolated using mRNA DIRECT kit (Life Technologies) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Construction of RNA-seq libraries was performed as previously described (Labunskyy et al. 2014 (link)), and the libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. RNA-seq reads were aligned to the S. cerevisiae genome from the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD; http://www.yeastgenome.org/, release number R64-1-1) and sequences of the introduced exogenous genes. Sequence alignment was performed using Bowtie software v.0.12.7 (Langmead et al. 2009 (link)) allowing two mismatches per read. To analyze expression of exogenous genes, rpkm (reads per kilobase per million mapped reads) values, which represent the number of reads normalized to gene length and total number of mapped reads, were calculated for each gene. An average rpkm value for two biological replicates is 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.
