Profiling Brain-specific miRNAs in hiPSC-NSC-EVs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Among the most abundant 40 miRNAs from RNA-Seq data, eight miRNAs that are known to contribute to various aspects of brain function were chosen and validated through quantitative real-time PCR. The total RNA was isolated from two biological replicates of hiPSC-NSC-EVs (~25 × 109 each) using the SeraMir Exosome RNA amplification kit (System biosciences). miRCURY LNA RT Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) was employed for converting 5 ng/μl of total RNA into cDNA. miRCURY LNA miRNA SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen) and miRCURY LNA miRNA PCR assay primer mix (Qiagen) were used to measure the comparative expression of 8 different miRNAs (miRNAs- 320a, 103a-3p, 21–5p, 26a-5p, 320b, 30a-3p, 181a-5p, 191–5p).

Validating PTX3 and miR-21-5p Expression in hNSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The reduced expression of PTX3 was first validated in control and transfected hNSCs through measurement PTX3 mRNA via qPCR using a specific primer (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, United States) and RT2 SYBR Green qPCR Mastermix (Qiagen). Then, PTX3 protein was measured from hNSC-lysates and in EVs isolated from control and transfected hNSCs using sandwich ELISA (Aviscera Biosciences, Sunnyvale, CA, United States). Our previous reports describe the detailed qPCR and ELISA methods employed (Upadhya et al., 2020b (link); Madhu et al., 2021 (link)). Diminished expression of miR-21-5p was validated by measuring miR-21-5p in EVs generated from control and transfected hNSCs, via qPCR. For this, the total RNA from hNSC-EVs was first isolated using the SeraMir Exosome RNA amplification kit (System Biosciences), following which miRCURY LNA RT Kit (Qiagen) was employed for converting 5 ng/μl of total RNA into cDNA. miRCURY LNA miRNA SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen) and miRCURY LNA miRNA PCR assay primer mix (Qiagen) were employed to measure miR-21–5p level in hNSC-EVs.

Validation of Microglia-Modulating miRs in hMSC-EVs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Among the top 20 enriched miRs from RNA-Seq data, eight miRs that are known to modulate activated microglia and/or NLRP3 inflammasomes were chosen and validated through quantitative real-time PCR. The total RNA was isolated from two biological replicates of hMSC-EVs (10 × 109 each) using the SeraMir Exosome RNA amplification kit (System Biosciences, Palo Alto, CA, USA). miRCURY LNA RT Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) was employed for converting 5 ng/μl of total RNA into cDNA. miRCURY LNA miRNA SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen) and miRCURY LNA miRNA PCR assay primer mix (Qiagen) were used to measure the comparative expression of 8 different miRs.

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.
