Example 7

To further improve the method for the isolation of a MONO fraction from mixtures of ZERO, MONO and POLY, liquid chromatography was conducted with various combinations of stationary and mobile phases. Excellent results in terms of purity and yield were obtained with dried silica high-purity grade, pore size 60 Å, 230-400 mesh particle size, 40-63 μm (Fluka, catalogue number 60737) and an eluent consisting of 12 v/v % triethylamine (Sigma-Aldrich, catalogue number 90340). 12 v/v % 2-isopropanol (Sigma-Aldrich, catalogue number 24137; Ph. Eur) and 76 v/v % heptane (Sigma-Aldrich, catalogue number 32287; Ph. Eur). Twenty g of M10 in 60 mL eluent were applied to a column prepared from 260 g silica (dried in a vacuum oven for at least 3 h at 160° C. and <100 mBar) in about 500 mL of eluent. The column was eluted at a flow of about 3 L per h and fractions of 50 mL were collected. Each fraction was analyzed by HPTLC (Sigma-Aldrich Uniplate Catalogue number Z26531-4) with 20 v/v % isopropanol in heptane as eluent. M10-ZERO was eluted at between 400 and 600 mL. M10-MONO was eluted at between 800 and 3200 mL. POLY remained on the column and could be eluted with 100% 2-isopropanol. A single liquid chromatography run resulted in a recovery of >90% M10-MONO with <2% ZERO and <2% POLY as determined by semi-quantitative HPTLC analysis.

Cardiac miRNA Expression Analysis via Trizol-Chloroform RNA Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hearts were homogenized with 1 ml Trizol (Invitrogen) for 50 mg of tissue. Then were added 0.2 ml chloroform per each ml of the used Trizol. The samples have been put in shaking for 15 s, left in ice and centrifuged with 13,000 rpm for 20 min at 4 °C. The supernatant with RNA was transferred in a new eppendorf. RNA was then precipitated with 0.5 ml of isopropanol (2-isopropanol, Sigma) per each ml of Trizol used. The samples were incubated for a night at −20 °C and, after that, centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 20 min at 4 °C; the new pellet was re-suspended in 1 ml ethanol/75% DEPC and centrifuged. The pellet was than dried at room temperature before being re-suspended in water with diethyl-pyrocarbonate (DEPC) and stored at −80 °C. Total RNA was analysed by Pico-drop (Perkin Elmer), electrophoresis and used for RT-PCR and qRT-PCR to evaluate the relative expression of cardiac miRs.

To evaluate lipid production cells were collected at different growing times by centrifugation at 3,100 g for 10 minutes. Lipids were extracted using an adapted solvent-based method described by Hara et al. [59 (link)]. A solution of hexane / 2-isopropanol (3:2, v/v) (both purchased from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was added to every cell pellet previously thawed at room temperature. After vigorously vortexing, tubes were left for 3 hours with shaking. Then they were centrifuged for 7 min at 12,000 g and 8°C, the upper organic phase was collected and placed into new 2 mL tube and the solvent was evaporated in a rotational vacuum concentrator (Christ RVC2-18, Germany) at 40°C.

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.
