Total RNA extraction was performed from liver samples using a total RNA isolation kit (JenaBioscience, Jena, Germany), following the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA quantification and purity was revealed using the QuantiFluor RNA System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and Quantus Fluorometer (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).
Furthermore, for cDNA synthesis from RNA, first-strand cDNA was synthesized with 1 ug of total RNA using a Revert Aid First-strand cDNA synthesis kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer′s instructions. These samples were then frozen at −80 °C until real-time PCR was used to determine gene expression.

mRNAs were diluted in 50 mM citrate buffer (pH 3.0) as the aqueous phase. Lipids were prepared by dissolving MC3-lipid, DSPC, cholesterol, PEG2000-DMG in ethanol at molar ratios of 50:10:38.5:1.5 (total concentration 12.5 mM). The lipids mixture was then mixed with the aqueous phase (mRNA) using the NanoAssemblr Benchtop (Precision #NIT0046) in compatible microfluidic cartridges. The formulated mRNA-LNP solution was first dialyzed against 1X PBS (pH ∼7) at 4°C overnight, and then concentrated by ultrafiltration using the Amicon Ultra Centrifugal Filter Unit (Millipore). The encapsulation efficiency and concentration of mRNAs were determined by the QuantiFluor RNA system (Promega #E3310). The size of mRNA-LNP particles was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) using samples diluted in PBS. DLS was performed using the Malvern Zetasizer (Malvern).

RNA Extraction and Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Laboratories could use any RNA extraction method of their choice. The organising laboratory recommended a manual organic method [1] and a silica column based method (RNeasy® Mini Kit, Qiagen, Venlo, NL). For laboratories using a PGM/S5, it was highly recommended to use the organic extraction method which results in higher RNA yields. We suggested using the TURBO DNA-free™ kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for DNase treatment.
To define the desired input amount of RNA, laboratories were advised to quantify the RNA extracts using fluorescence or electrophoresis based quantification methods. The following methods were recommended: 1) Quant-iT RiboGreen RNA kit / Fluorescence microplate reader (high-and low-range protocol options) (Thermo Fisher Scientific); 2) QuantiFluor RNA System / QuantiFluor-ST Fluorometer (Promega, Madison, WI); 3) Quant-iT RNA assay kit / Qubit Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific); 4) Bioanalyzer (normally bad RNA quality / low RIN numbers with these kind of samples). In case the laboratories had no means of quantifying the RNA extracts, the organising laboratory proposed a specific input volume for each stain (Table S3).

RNA-Seq Workflow for Bacterial Transcriptomics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The quality control of both the RNA quantity available and its quality was based on the QuantiFluor RNA System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and picoRNA chip on a bioanalyser 2100 (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), respectively. After quality control, two replicates remained available for the control and the starch-supplemented growth media while three replicates remained for each of the other growth conditions. Then, bacterial mRNAs were amplified by two rounds of in vitro transcription (IVT) using the ExpressArt Bacterial mRNA amplification kit (AmpTec, Hamburg, Germany). Finally, RNA libraries were generated using the ScriptSeq Complete kit for bacteria (Illumina Inc, San Diego, CA, USA) that allows performing directional RNA sequencing. RNA-sequencing was performed by a private company (Viroscan 3D, Lyon, France). The Appendix A details the protocols that are organized into three steps: 1) quality control, 2) total RNA amplification, and 3) library generations, respectively.

Total RNA was extracted from each brushing sample according to the manufacturer’s instructions using the miRNA easy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Quantification was performed using the QuantiFluor RNA System (Promega, Madison, WI), and 50 ng of RNA was used as input to the TruSeq RNA Access Library Prep procedure (Illumina, San Diego, CA), which enriches for the coding transcriptome. Libraries meeting quality control criteria for amplification yields were sequenced using NextSeq 500 instruments (2 × 75 bp paired-end reads) with the High Output Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA).
Raw sequencing (FASTQ) files were aligned to the Human Reference assembly 37 (Genome Reference Consortium) using the STAR RNA-seq aligner software [18 (link)]. Samples and sequencing runs that met pre-specified criteria for the number and quality of reads, as well as genomic representation and read depth, were used for downstream analysis. Based on annotated Ensembl genes, uniquely mapped reads were summarized using HTSeq [19 (link)]. The sequencing data was further filtered and normalized as described in [14 (link)].

After RNA isolation was performed using the different methods described above, all RNAs except for Trizol isolated, were further purified using an equal volume of chloroform (Fisher-Sci., #366919), centrifuged (16,000× g, 10 min, 4 °C), a back-extraction with TE buffer (10 mM Tris pH 7.6, 1 mM EDTA pH 8.0) to ensure no loss of RNA during extraction and then the aqueous phases containing RNA were precipitated with 100% ethanol in the presence of Glycogen and 0.6 M sodium acetate and incubated at −20 °C overnight. RNA samples were centrifuged (16,000× g, 1 h, 4 °C) and the supernatant removed. RNAs were washed with 80% ethanol, air dried and solubilized in DEPC treated dH2O and then quantified using the QuantiFluor® RNA System (Promega, #E3310) and Nanodrop 2000 (Thermo Scientific). RNA quality, like the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) and the DV200 was assessed using the Bioanalyzer 2100 with the corresponding 2100 Expert Software from Agilent.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For each replicate, flight muscles from seven Mef2-GAL4, UAS-GFP-GMA pupae at 24 h or 32 h APF were dissected in ice-cold PBS treated with DEPC using a fluorescent binocular. Flight muscles were collected in an Eppendorf tube and centrifuged at 2000 g for 5 min. The flight muscle pellet was re-suspended in TRIzol™, shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen and kept at -80°C.
RNA was isolated directly from the TRIzol muscle samples using a 96 well plate extraction kit (Direct-zol™-96 RNA, Zymo Research, #R2054): after thawing to room temperature in 1,5 ml Eppendorf tubes, the tissue samples were homogenized using a small pestle, followed by nucleic acid precipitation with 100% ethanol. This suspension was then transferred to the 96-well plate containing the purification columns. DNA digestion was performed 'in column' according to the kit instructions. Total RNA was eluted with 25 μl of RNase-free water and was quantified using the Quantifluor RNA System (Promega, #E3310).

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.
