Trizol extraction reagent

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States, Germany

TRIzol is a reagent used for the isolation of total RNA from various biological samples, including cells, tissues, and bodily fluids. It is based on the single-step RNA isolation method developed by Chomczynski and Sacchi. TRIzol utilizes a mixture of phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate to effectively lyse cells and denature protein complexes, allowing for the separation and purification of RNA.

cDNA Microarray Analysis of KRG Extract Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
cDNA microarray analysis was used to examine differential gene expression between 0% and 1% KRG extract group. Total RNA was isolated from 6 tissues randomly selected in each group using the Trizol extraction reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Digital Genomics Inc. (Seoul, Korea) performed duplicate examinations on GenePlorerTMtwin chipTM-Rat 5K containing 4,863 gene probes with mixed total RNA. Global median, intensity/location-dependent normalization was performed to analyze all data. Genes were considered differentially expressed when the log2 ratio was more than 1 or less than -1. To identify the pathway altered by the 1% KRG extract, differentially expressed gene data underwent further analyses using KEGG pathway. A DAVID (the database for annotation, visualization and integrated discovery) bioinformatics resources (http://david.abcc.ncifcrf.gov/) was used to perform a functional analysis for those genes 31 (link).

Quantifying Terpenoid Gene Expression in Berries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 50–100 mg of frozen berry samples representing the different development stages was ground in a mortar and the resultant powder was used for the RNA extraction with the TRIzol extraction reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Agarose gel electrophoresis was used to assess the quality of every RNA sample and high-quality RNA samples with an A260/A280 ratio of 1.8:2.1 were used as the template material for the qRT-PCR analyses. Specifically, complementary DNA (cDNA) was transcribed using the Takara Prime Script TM-RT PCR reagent Kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Since the monoterpene volatiles showed the most significant variations after the elicitor treatment, we quantified the expression of genes in the terpenoid metabolic pathways by qRT-PCR analysis (ABI7300, Applied Biosystems, Milan, Italy). Relative transcript levels were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method [53 (link)] and VvActin was used as the reference for normalization purposes. All reactions, including non-template controls, were performed in triplicate. Sequences of the primers used to amplify the VvDXS1, VvDXS3, VvDXR and VvHDR genes were referenced from Martin [43 (link)]; VvPNGer and VvPNlinNer1 were referenced from Matarese [47 (link)].
