Mir x mirna first stand synthesis kit

Manufactured by Takara Bio
Sourced in Japan, China

The Mir-X miRNA First-Strand Synthesis Kit is a laboratory equipment product designed for the conversion of mature microRNA (miRNA) into first-strand complementary DNA (cDNA). This kit provides the necessary reagents and protocols for the reverse transcription of miRNA into cDNA, which can then be used for downstream applications such as real-time PCR analysis.

Total RNA was extracted from lungs and cells using RNAiso Plus (TaKaRa, Tokyo, Japan). The isolated total RNA was reverse transcribed using Mir-X miRNA First-Stand Synthesis Kit (TaKaRa, Tokyo, Japan) for microRNA let-7d and the PrimerScript™ RT Reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser (TaKaRa, Tokyo, Japan) for mRNA, according to manufacturer instructions. Relative expression was assessed by ABI7500 Fast Real-Time PCR System (Applied Biosystems, USA) with the TB Green Premix Ex II (TaKaRa, Tokyo, Japan). Relative expression was calculated using the 2−ΔΔCT method and was normalized to the expression of U6 or GAPDH. ALL qRT-PCR reactions were performed in triplicate. The sequences of primer pairs are described in Table 1.

miRNeasy Micro Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA) was used to isolate exosomal total RNA. Exosome samples were processed according to the manufacturer's instruction as described in a previous study (35 (link)). The extracted RNA was resuspended with 16 μl of nuclease-free water. Then we used NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Lafayette, USA) to evaluate the concentration and quality of the RNA. cDNA was synthesized from 200 ng of template RNA using the Mir-X MiRNA First-Stand Synthesis Kit (Takara, Dalian, China) in a 10 μl of reaction volume.
After 5-fold dilution, 2 μl of cDNA was used for qPCR assay that was reacted using the TB Green™ Premix Ex Taq™ (Takara, Dalian, China) on a CFX96 Real-Time Detection System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, USA). MiRNA primers were synthesized by Ribobio (Guangzhou, China), and forward primer sequence has been provided in Supplementary Table 1. Each qRT-PCR was repeated three times. The relative expression of miRNAs was calculated and normalized to miR-16, using the comparative threshold (2−ΔΔCt) method.

Briefly, 2 μg of total RNA was reversely transcribed into cDNA using the Mir-X miRNA First-Stand Synthesis Kit (Takara, Shiga, Japan). Then, 2 μL of cDNA was used for quantitative PCR analysis that was performed on the Bio-Rad CFX96 Detection System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) using the SYBR Premix EX Taq (Takara, Shiga, Japan) and miRNA-specific primers (Ribobio, Guangzhou, China). All reactions were performed in triplicate to remove any outliers. In addition, miR-191-5p and U6 were selected as the reference genes according to our previous study [31 ]. The miRNA expression was normalized to the mean of these two reference genes. The relative expressions of miRNAs were determined using the 2-dCt method.

Serum Total RNA Extraction and miRNA qRT-PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was obtained from serum using Trizol LS Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. The optical density values were detected using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer with A260/A280 ranging from 1.8 to 2.1. Reverse transcription was carried out with the Mir‐X miRNA First‐stand Synthesis Kit (Clontech Laboratories, Mountain View, California, USA) at 37°C for 60 min and then at 85°C for 5 min. The complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) was diluted to 100 μL for further study. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR) was carried out by Mir‐X miRNA qRT–PCR SYBR Kit (SYBR Green; Clontech Takara, Otsu, Shiga, Japan) using the Roche Light Cycler Fluorescence Quantitative PCR System (ABI, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) with 2 μL cDNA as the template under the following conditions: 95°C for 10 s, 40 cycles at 95°C for 5 s and 54°C for 20 s. All the PCR reactions were in a reaction volume of 25 μL and repeated three times. The results were represented as cycle threshold values.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNAs were extracted from heart tissues by RNAzol RT (Molecular Research Center, OH, USA) following the manufacturer's protocol. Approximately 1ug of total RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using the Mir-X miRNA First-Stand Synthesis Kit (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The cDNA was used to perform quantitative PCR using the PowerUp™ SYBR Green Master Mix (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. PCR cycling began with UDG activation at 50°C for 2 min, Dual-Lock™ DNA polymerase at 95°C for 2 min, then 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 sec, and 60°C for 1 min performed on a CFX96 Real-Time System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA). cDNA was amplified with a U6 primer set (Takara Bio USA, CA, USA) and specific mmu-miR-322-5p forward primer 5’- CAGCAGCAATTCATGTTTTGGA-3’ and mRQ 3’Primer provided in miRNA first-strand synthesis kit. For each sample, the miR322 expression was normalized to U6 before the calculation of relative fold up- or down-regulation in the transcription levels compared with corresponded control group.

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.
