Microarray CGH Analysis of Copy Number Variations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microarray CGH analysis was performed as described previously, using a 180 k oligonucleotide array (SurePrint G3 Human CGH Microarray Kit 4 × 180 K, Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto CA, USA)16 (link). Images were acquired using a Microarray scanner G2505B (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto CA, USA). Analysis and data extraction were quantified using feature extraction software (version 9.1, Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto CA, USA). Gains and losses were defined as deviations of 0.2 or more from log2 ratio = 0.0. High-level amplification was considered when at least 2 neighboring clones reached a log2 ratio of >2.0 and homozygous deletions (HDs) were defined as two or more consecutive oligonucleotides with a log2 ratio of <−3. The possibility of copy number variations (rather than copy number alterations) was excluded by using normal DNA of the same patient as reference. The microarray CGH data are accessible through GEO Series accession number GSE57201.

RNA isolation was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions using the RNeasy Mini-Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) for mRNA and miRNeasy Mini-Kit for miRNA (Qiagen). The prepared RNA was preserved at −80 °C. Only samples with RNA integrity number >8.8 for miRNA and >8.7 for mRNA were accepted for further processing.
Array analyses were performed using RNA 6000 Nano LabChipVR reagent set (Agilent Technologies, Boeblingen, Germany), Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit PLUS, One-Color (Agilent Technologies), Gene Expression Hybridisation Kit (Agilent) and miRNA Labelling Reagent and Hybridisation Kit (Agilent Technologies).
The Microarray Scanner G2505B (Agilent Technologies) was used for washing and scanning of miRNA and mRNA arrays.

RNA Quantity, Quality, and Differential Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was quality and quantity was assessed with a Nanodrop 1000 (Thermo Scientific). 260/280 nm ratios were between 1.9 and 2.1. An Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was used to measure the RNA integrity number (RIN) and only RNA samples with values >8.7 were submitted to microarray analysis. For cy3-labeling the “Low RNA Input Linear Amplification Kit, PLUS, One-Color” (Agilent Technologies) was used, and for hybridization (17.5 h) the “Gene Expression Hybridization Kit” (Agilent Technologies, USA) was applied. Washing and scanning was done in the Micro Array Scanner G2505B (Agilent Technologies, USA), imaged files were processed with the NimbleScan Software 2.6 with using default setting of the Robust Multi-Array Analysis (RMA). Averages were made from the normalized microarray data from one experimental group, and ratios between two experimental groups were calculated with Excel 2013. In case the ratio is >1 it equals the fold change, if the ration is <1 the fold change is the negative reciprocal of the ratio. Fold changes were considered to represent a significantly differential expression if the t-test p-value was <0.05.

Tumor and reference DNA were differentially labeled with dCTP-Cy5 and dCTP-Cy3 (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ) using a Bioprime Array CGH Genomic Labeling Kit (Invitrogen, Carlsberg, CA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Genome-wide analysis of DNA copy number changes was conducted using an oligonucleotide array containing 180k probes according to the manufacturer's protocol (SurePrint G3 Human CGH Microarray Kit, 1×180k, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). Slides were scanned using Agilent's microarray scanner G2505B and analyzed using Agilent Genomic Workbench.

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.
