Nucleozol

Manufactured by Takara Bio
Sourced in United States

NucleoZOL is a reagent used for the isolation of high-quality total RNA from a variety of biological samples, including cells, tissues, and microorganisms. It is a mono-phasic solution containing phenol and guanidine isothiocyanate, which effectively lyses cells and denatures RNases to preserve the integrity of the extracted RNA.

Total RNA was isolated with NucleoZOL (Takara Bio USA, Mountain View, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reverse transcription reactions were done using hexamer and M-MuLV Reverse Transcriptase (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA). The cDNA products were diluted 20- to 100-fold and used as PCR templates. Primer3 Plus program were used to design the qPCR primer 57 (link). The qPCR analysis was carried out using our recently optimized TqPCR protocol58 (link). Briefly, the SYBR Green qPCR reactions (Bimake, Houston, TX) were set up according to manufacturer’s instructions. The cycling program was modified by incorporating 4 cycles of touchdown steps prior to the regular cycling program as described 58 (link): 95°C×3min for one cycle; 95°C×20 sec, 66°C×10 sec for 4 cycles, with 3°C decrease per cycle; followed by 95°C×10 sec, 55°C×15 sec, 70°C×1 sec for 40 cycles, followed by plate read. All reactions were done in triplicate. GADPH was used as a reference gene. All sample values were normalized to GADPH expression by using the 2−ΔΔCt method.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hi5 cells (500,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate) were transfected with ecdysone reporter genes pERE-Luc (150 ng) and pERE-GFP (50 ng) together with RNA of infected cells (up to 500 ng) (31 (link)). One day after transfection, tebufenozide (ecdysone agonist) was added at 200 nM to induce reporter expression and cells were collected at 48 hrs for GFP (normalization) and luciferase (targeted by luciferase RNA hairpin) measurements. RNA was isolated from both soluble and insoluble cellular extracts by Nucleozol (Machery-Nagel, Germany). Total nucleic acid extracts were treated with RNase-free DNase I (1 U/μg for 15 min; TaKaRa) before Nucleozol extraction. As positive control, in vitro transcribed luciferase RNA hairpin was co-transfected at 1 to 10 ng quantities. Non-specific dsRNA (dsmalE) was used as negative control (31 (link)). GraphPad Prism 4 software was used for statistical analysis (unpaired t-test).

Total RNA was isolated from cells by NucleoZOL (Takara Bio USA, Inc., CA, USA) and converted into cDNA use of ToolsQuant II Fast RT kit (BIOTOOLS Co., Taipei, Taiwan). cDNAs were then used as templates for qRT-PCR. qRT-PCR involved the TaqMan probe-based real-time quantification system (Foster, CA, USA). The levels of mRNA were calculated relative to GAPDH mRNA as the invariant control. The sequences of primers are as following: human fetuin-A forward primer: 5′-CACAGGTAACAGCTCCGTGA-3′; human fetuin-A reverse primer: 5′-TGATTCCGCATACCCCAGTG-3′; human GAPDH forward primer: 5′-AACGGGAAGCTTGTCATCAATGGAAA-3′; human GAPDH reverse primer: 5′-GCATCAGCAGAGGGGGCAGAG-3′.

RNA isolation was done by using NucleoZOL (Takara Bio). Genomic DNA and other contaminants were removed by precipitation. One phase RNA extraction was followed by conversion to first strand cDNA using the Accuscript high fidelity cDNA synthesis kit (Agilent). Brilliant III ultra fast SYBR Green was used to measure the relative changes in the expression of chickpea ASR genes under water stressed conditions. The cDNA from leaf tissues were used as template. The Beta Actin gene was used as the reference gene. The qRT-PCR was conducted on a CFX 96 Real Time PCR (Biorad) in a reaction volume of 25μL, that comprised of 2μL chickpea samples cDNA, 0.5 μL each ASR specific forward and reverse primer, 12.5 μL Brilliant III ultra fast SYBR Green QPCR master mix (Agilent), and 9.5 μL nuclease-free molecular biology grade water. The qRT-PCR reaction cycle included 95°C for 3 min followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 5 s, 60°C for 12s. The relative expression levels of chickpea ASR genes under different treatments were then calculated using the 2−ΔΔCT method [88 ].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The method was developed based on a previously published study (46 (link)). A step-by-step protocol for sample preparation, sorting, and RNA isolation is provided in Text S1. Key to successful RNA recovery is the gentle formaldehyde fixation at 4°C. Aliquots of fixed samples were adjusted to approximately 1.8 × 107 cells/mL in 30 mL volume each and stained with SYBR green. Sorting of 5.4 × 108 cells based on the FITC-signal (see above) directly into RNAprotect was performed with the BD FACSAria Fusion (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany). The sorted cells were collected on a filter from which RNA was extracted using a combination of Lysozyme and Proteinase K digestion with bead beating, and purified with NucleoZOL (TaKaRa Bio, Göteborg, Sweden). rRNA depletion was performed with the NEBNext Bacteria kit (NEB, Frankfurt, Germany). The libraries were prepared with the TruSeq kit (Illumina, San Diego USA).

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.
