Example 3

Experiments were conducted to confirm that the double-stranded agent HDO used in Examples 1 and 2 actually formed a double strand.

The single-stranded ASO and the double-stranded agents HDO used in Examples 1 and 2 were electrophoresed (100 V, 60 min) in a Tris-borate-EDTA buffer using a 15% acrylamide native gel. The gel was stained with GelRed (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and detection was performed under UV light using a ChemiDoc Touch imaging system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.).

The results of Example 3 are shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 9 shows the results of the single-stranded ASO (lane 1), HDO cRNA all PO (lane 2), HDO cRNA all PS (lane 3), HDO cDNA all PO (lane 4), HDO cDNA all PS (lane 5), HDO 10 mer (lane 6), HDO 11 mer (lane 7), HDO 12mer (lane 8), and HDO 13mer (lane 9). When a double strand is formed, staining (brightness) by a staining agent is increased. The brightness of HDO used in Examples 1 and 2 was increased compared to that of ASO, demonstrating that a double strand was actually formed.

A splicing assay was performed as previously described42 (link),43 (link). Cells were cultured in 12-well plates and transfected with 0.5 μg of plasmids for U1/U7 snRNA expression (or cognate empty vector) and 0.05 μg of plasmid to express the minigene. Total RNA was purified using a NucleoSpin RNA kit (Takara Bio, Inc., Shiga, Japan) including DNase treatment. Total RNA (0.5 μg) was subjected to reverse-transcription using Revertra Ace -α- (Toyobo) with a 1:1 mixture of oligo dT and random hexamers as a primer. RT-PCR was performed using Blend Taq –plus- (Toyobo) and a panel of Fw and Rv primer sets as follows: EGFP-C1-Fw and TREM2-ex4-Rv for WT(ex2-4) and NHD(ex2-4) minigenes; TREM2-ex2-Fw2 and RT-TREM2-ex4-Rv for fl-WT and fl-NHD minigenes. PCR products were resolved by electrophoresis on 2% agarose gels or e-PAGEL polyacrylamide gels (ATTO, Tokyo, Japan) and the gels were stained with ethidium bromide (Genesee Scientific Corporation, San Diego, CA, USA) or GelRed (Wako). By sampling at multiple cycles, the cycle numbers of PCR were adjusted such that the amplification was within a logarithmic phase. The gel images were captured by either a digital camera (FAS-digi, Nippon Genetics, Tokyo, Japan) or CCD camera (WSE-6200H LuminoGraph II, ATTO). Multigauge software (FUJIFILM, Tokyo, Japan) was used to quantify the splicing patterns.

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.
