Illumina Whole Genome-DASL Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Illumina Whole Genome-DASL assay was performed using 200 ng of RNA following the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, RNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using biotinylated primers, followed by immobilization to streptavidin-conjugated paramagnetic particles. Biotinylated cDNAs were then simultaneously annealed to a set of assay-specific oligonucleotides. Extension and ligation of the annealed oligonucleotides generated PCR templates that were amplified using Titanium Taq DNA Polymerase (Clontech). Labeled PCR products were washed and denatured to yield single-stranded fluorescent molecules, which were hybridized to the HumanHT12 v4.0 Whole Genome Gene Expression BeadChips for 16 h at 58°C. The Illumina HiScan was used to scan the arrays.

Example 4

This study was initiated to determine which technology was best suited to dealing with a range of good quality and degraded RNA samples. The platforms that were evaluated were the Affymetrix Exon Array with the NuGEN WT-Ovation FFPE process carried out at a laboratory services vendor (50 ng input), the Illumina whole genome DASL assay carried out at Expression Analysis (using 100 ng input RNA), and the Nanostring nCounter system carried out at Nanostring (100 ng and 200 ng input RNA). RNA samples were a selection of banked FNAs, ex vivo FNAs and prospective FNAs all collected in TRIzol. The samples had a range of RIN values (1-8) from highly degraded to intact samples and two sample subtypes (NHP/PTC).

In summary, although Nanostring was the only platform that did not require amplification of RNA, it was slightly less robust than Exon/FFPE and DASL at low RIN ranges, possibly due to the placement of primers at approximately 200 bp. The Exon/FFPE and DASL systems are comparable across the range of sample characteristics tested. While the Illumina Whole-Genome DASL array performed as well as the NuGEN FFPE/Affymetrix exon assay the decision was made to proceed with the NuGEN/Affymetrix system because of FDA readiness considerations of the various microarray platforms.

Gene Expression Profiling of Liver Biopsies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 186-gene signature was implemented in the digital transcript counting (nCounter) assay (NanoString). Expression profiling was performed with 100ng to 400ng total RNA by using nCounter Digital Analyzer system (NanoString) according to manufacturer's instruction. For the analysis of the training cohort, the first generation of reagent plate (“white” Prep Plate) was used. For the validation cohort, newer version (“green” New Prep Plate) with improved sensitivity for signal detection was used. Poor quality profiles were detected based on maximum signal intensity from positive control probes <8,000U for the older reagent plate, and median signal intensity >100U for the newer reagent plate according to manufacturer’s recommendation. Raw transcript count data were log-transformed and scaled by geometric mean of control probe data by using NanoString normalizer module implemented in GenePattern genomic analysis toolkit (www.broadinstitute.org/genepattern). Genome-wide expression profiling for paired biopsies and explanted liver was performed by using whole-genome DASL assay (Illumina) according to manufacturer's instruction. Scanned data were extracted by Genome Studio software ver.3 (Illumina), and normalized by cubic spline algorithm implemented in GenePattern Illumina Normalizer module as previously described.18 (link)

Genetic Regulation of MTNR1A Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine association of rs12506228 with melatonin receptor 1A gene (MTNR1A) expression, we used publicly available eGWAS Mayo data through the National Institute of Aging Genetics Data Storage Site (NIAGADS).34 (link) The data set included gene expression profiles of cerebellum and temporal cortex, and genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping data for patients with neuropathologically verified Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology and non-AD individuals, many of whom had other brain pathologies (55% with progressive supranuclear palsy, 13% with Lewy body disease, 12% with corticobasal degeneration).To avoid the effect of widespread neurodegeneration related to AD, only the non-AD subjects (n = 177, cerebellum) were included in this study. Gene expression levels were measured with the Whole Genome DASL assay (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA). Probes with detection in less than 75% of the samples were excluded. A probe for MTNR1A was excluded in the temporal lobe samples and therefore only results for cerebellum were reported. The SNP genotyping was based on Illumina’s HumanHap300-Duo Genotyping BeadChips. Available statistics from the eGWAS Mayo data were based on linear regression analysis of PLINK using an additive model and covariates of age at death, gender, PCR plate, and RNA integrity number (RINmean).2 (link)

Age-Dependent Liver Transcriptomics in Cirrhosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fractions of liver biopsy specimens obtained by transjugular route, and primarily processed for clinical pathology, were stored in diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC) solution for mRNA isolation using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen). 250 ng of highly pure and preserved RNA were deeply analyzed using the Illumina Whole Genome-DASL assay, which quantifies approximately 24,000 transcripts. The microarray data were deposited and stored in GEO (GSE77627).
Illumina were processed using lumi package quantile normalisation [27 (link)]. Coefficient for age, derived from a linear model using probe set expression versus age and gender adjusted [28 (link)], was employed as a metric score to evaluate the influence of age in the gene expression from cirrhotic liver tissue. We performed pre-ranked gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) using the canonical pathways MSigDB collection signatures [29 (link)].
Ethics Committee of the Barcelona Hospital Clinic approved the experimental protocol (HCB/2011/6814). Experimental groups were defined considering patients’ age: young (n=7, mean age 42 ± 5 years old, range 33-48), old (n=7, mean age 62 ± 4, range 58-70).
