Fragment Analysis of PCR Products

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCR products were analysed on either an ABI 3100 or 3130xl genetic analyser using a 16 capillary 36 cm array with either POP-4 or POP-7 separation matrix (all Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Genetic analysers were calibrated for the G5 dyeset. GeneScan 1200 LIZ standard was used as internal sizing reference (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Fragment analysis samples contained 1 μL amplified DNA, 0.5 μL 1200 LIZ standard and 8.5 μL Hi-Di formamide (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Samples were injected at 5 kV for 5 sec and resolved using a separation voltage of 6.5 kV for 103 min. Major peaks in fluorescent signal were imported into BioNumerics v.5.1 software (Applied Maths, Sint-Martens-Latem) to complete the method validation. Fragments were initially sized using either PeakScanner v.1.0 or GeneMapper v.4.0 software (both Life Technologies, Paisley, UK), or were imported into BioNumerics directly. All signals with a height <10% that of the highest peak in the individual profile were excluded (as these were considered background rather than evidence of a major DNA fragment). For peaks <1.5bp different in size, the lower intensity peak was also excluded [18 (link)].

Microsatellite Instability Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microsatellite instability (MSI) was assessed in 7 tumor samples with loss of expression of MMR proteins by the Molecular Pathology laboratory in Bergonie Institute, Bordeaux (France), using a fluorescent multiplex PCR-based method with a set of five mononucleotide markers (BAT25, BAT26, NR21, NR22, NR24). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the various microsatellite markers was carried out only on tumor DNA. Standard PCR conditions were used. Primers were custom ordered with various fluorescent dyes from life technologies®. The analysis of variability in the length of PCR product corresponding to the microsatellite markers was performed on ABI 3100 (life technologies®). Tumors were classified as MSI-high if >2 of the 5 markers are unstable; microsatellite stable (MSS) when there is an absence of instability and MSI-low if only 1 marker is unstable. This latter is considered as a MSS status.

PCR Amplification and Sequencing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCR amplification was performed using 10 pmol of specific primer, 250 μM dNTPs, 50 ng of genomic DNA, and 1 U GoTaq Polymerase (Promega, Madison, WI) in the buffer provided by the manufacturer. The cycling conditions were 95°C for 20 s, 59°C for 20 s, and 72°C for 20 s. The PCR products were desalted and purified using a PCR product purification kit. The cleaned PCR products were analyzed using a Big Dye Terminator V3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. After ethanol purification, the reaction products were analyzed using a sequencer (ABI 3100, Life Technologies, Foster City, California, USA). SNP validation was visually confirmed.

Full-Genome Sequencing of Cell Cultures

Full-genome sequencing was completed as described elsewhere (Ciota et al., 2007b (link)) using 9 overlapping primer sets (sequences available upon request). Briefly, RNA was extracted from cell culture supernatant and subjected to reverse transcription (RT) and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) using the SuperScript III one-step RT-PCR kit (Life technologies) and products were concentrated using Zymo-5 DNA spin columns (Zymo Research). Sequencing was completed at the Wadsworth Center Applied Genomics Technology Core on an ABI 3100 or 3700 automated sequencer (Applied Biosystems). Sequences were compiled and edited using the SeqMan module of the DNAStar software package (DNAStar) with a minimum of two-fold redundancy throughout the genome.

Mutation segregation was performed in all family members. Additionally, 328 negative samples and 74 familial patients were also screened for the mutations by direct sequencing. Genotyping for c. 3125 A>G and c.5981 A>G was performed by PCR (primer sequences are available upon request) and detected by bidirectional sequencing of the amplified fragments using an automated DNA sequencer (ABI 3100; Applied Biosystems). Nucleotide alteration(s) were identified by sequence alignment with the PTPRQ GenBank sequence (NM_001145026.1) using the Genetool software.

BRCA1/2 Mutation Analysis in Cases

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from the participants’ peripheral blood samples. For BRCA1/2 mutation testing in cases, 22 coding exons of BRCA1 and 26 coding exons of BRCA2 were scanned through fluorescence-based conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (F-CSGE) and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC). For a subset of PCR products with aberrant patterns, direct sequencing was performed on an ABI3100 or ABI3700 (Applied Biosystems, CA) or a MegaBACE500 (GE Healthcare, UK) genetic analyzer. In this study, the definition of a genetic mutation is restricted to the protein-truncating mutation and the missense mutation, which are known to be associated with the disease. This study also includes the participants with a clinically unverified mutation in BRCA1/2 genes. More detailed information about BRCA1/2 mutation analysis has been described before31 (link),37 (link). Since this study also includes the cases with unverified mutation on BRCA1/2, we examined whether non-pathogenic variants on these genes are more frequent in the cases compared to controls at p-value of 0.05. And we searched them at the ClinVar database.

Investigating GPR126 Alternative Splicing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GPR126 contains 26 exons and alternative splicing of exon 6 and exon 25 produces 4 protein-coding transcripts. We suspect that some SNPs in GPR126 may regulate the alternative splicing and finally alter the protein function of GPR126. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of patients using the TIANamp Genomic DNA Kit (TIANGEN, China). The SNPs around exon 6 and exon 25 associated with splicing were analyzed. Sequencing primers: exon 6-F: 5′-TCTTTTGACAGACTCAGGAAACCA-3′; exon 6-R: 5′- AACTTGTTTCCTGCAGCAAATAAT-3′; exon 25-F: 5′- CTCAAACTCCTGGGCTCAAG -3′; exon 25-R: 5′- TCCTAGAAGGAGCCGCTTGC-3′. We also identified the genotype of rs6570507 by sequencing: primer: rs6570507-F: 5′-GAAAGATTTTCTGTGACATTCTC-3′; rs6570507-R: 5′-TGGTCAGGCTGGTCTCAA-3′. PCR conditions were set as follows: 1 min initial denaturation at 94°C, 30 cycles of 15 s denaturation at 94°C, 10 s annealing at 58°C, 1min extension at 72°C, and 10 min final extension at 72°C. The PCR products were analyzed using the sequencing system ABI3100 (Applied Biosystems).

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.
