Whole-Genome Expression Analysis of hMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-genome expressional analyses were carried out using Human Ref-8v3 or Human HT-12 v4 BeadArrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Total RNA was linearly amplified with biotin incorporation using Illumina TotalPrep kits (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The quality of the cRNA was assayed using an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Santa Clara, CA). The resulting cRNA was hybrized to Illumina BeadChips (San Diego, CA), processed and read using a BeadStation array reader (Illumina, San Diego, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Numerical values of relative fluorescence units (RFU) were determined for indicated genes. Values less than 180 units were considered to be background signals. The RFU values for the two donors were averaged and these values were used to determine fold changes with respect to day 0 hMSCs. Table 1A-C and supplemental Tables present fold difference at the respective time points.

Total RNA was extracted from cells using Qiagen RNeasy mini kits according to instructions supplied by the manufacturer. RNA concentrations were measured using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer, and RNA integrity was determined by denaturing agarose gel electrophoresis or by an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer. Whole-genome expression was obtained using Illumina Human HT-12 v4 BeadArrays. In preparation for Illumina BeadArrays, total RNA was linearly amplified and biotin-labeled using Illumina TotalPrep kits (Life Technologies, Temecula, CA, USA). The cRNA quality was measured using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer before being hybridized to Illumina BeadChips, processed, and read by an iScan microarray scanner according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Values under 130 relative fluorescence units (RFUs) were considered as nonspecific background signal.

RNA Isolation and Real-Time PCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (QIAGEN) and reverse transcribed with the High Capacity cDNA Transcription Kit (Life Technologies). Real-time PCR was performed using fluorogenic probe/primer combinations (Supplementary Table 7) specific for the target gene and TaqMan FAST Universal master mix (Life Technologies). All mRNA levels were normalized to levels of mouse Gapdh mRNA determined with the TaqMan Rodent GAPDH Control Kit or human GAPDH mRNA with primers for GAPDH nucleotides 37-910 or OAZ1 mRNA using the IDT PrimeTime Pre-designed assay Hs.PT.42.328511.g from Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA) 47 (link).
Oligonucleotide microarray analysis was performed as described previously 48 (link). Gene expression analysis was performed using Illumina Mouse-WG6 v1.1 BeadChips for mouse samples, and Illumina HumanHT-12 v3 BeadChips for human samples (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). Isolated total RNA was amplified and biotinylated using the Ambion Illumina TotalPrep Kit. Hybridization and scanning of BeadChip arrays was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using BeadStudio 3.0 software (Illumina). Treatment and conditions were randomized across BeadChip slides to avoid confounding. In order to perform bead-level analysis, raw data was exported from BeadStudio.

RNA Extraction and Illumina Microarray

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At least 100 ng of total RNA from each donor and each treatment condition was separately extracted and prepared for pre-hybridization, without pooling (Total Prep Kit, Illumina, San Diego, CA) and hybridized on the human genome array from Illumina (HuHT-12_v4) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Chondrocyte Transcriptome Dynamics Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly isolated chondrocytes were allowed to adhere for 16 hours, and then their media were supplemented with 1 μM actinomycin D (Sigma) for 0, 1, 3, or 5 hours. At each time point, the cell layer was extracted using TRIzol, and total RNA was purified using chloroform-based phase separation and subsequent precipitation with isopropanol. RNA pellets were dissolved in RNase-free H2O and stored at −80°C until required. Total RNA from the 0-, 1-, 3-, and 5-hour actinomycin D time points from 4 samples from each group were used to probe Illumina HT-12 BeadChip arrays at The Genome Centre core facility at Queen Mary University of London. RNA integrity was confirmed using an Agilent bioanalyzer, and RNA was then labeled with Cy3 using an Ambion TotalPrep kit before being hybridized to arrays using an Illumina BeadStation 500G. Non-normalized data were exported from Illumina BeadStudio software and used for subsequent analysis.

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.
