Plasma Separation and DNA Extraction Protocol

Up to 40 mL (range 6–40 mL) of blood were collected in 5 × 6-mL or 4 × 10-mL, purple-capped EDTA tubes. Consistent with published recommendations, blood plasma was isolated within 6 hours of collection by first spinning whole blood at 1000g for 10 min, separating the top plasma layer into 1 mL aliquots, then spinning those aliquots at 15,000g for 10 min, transferring the supernatant to cryovials, and storing at −80°C.77 (link) DNA extraction of tumor tissue from FFPE was carried out using QIAamp DNA FFPE Tissue Kit (QIAGEN). DNA was extracted from plasma using the NucleoSnap cfDNA kit (Macherey-Nagel) and from buffy coat using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (QIAGEN). DNA isolated from both FFPE samples and buffy coat were fragmented by sonication to 150 bp using a Covaris E220 prior to library preparation.

Comparative Analysis of cfDNA and cfRNA Extraction Kits

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Due to NucleoSnap cfDNA kit’s (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) superior performance in the first comparative experiments, we directly compared NucleoSnap to the NucleoSpin miRNA Plasma kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) concerning cfDNA yield and purity. Moreover, we evaluated cfRNA yields from both kits. For NucleoSpin, all samples were centrifuged at 4500× g before the start of the protocol. Skipping the optional DNA digestion step allowed for the parallel extraction of cfDNA and cfRNA. The final elution volume was 50 µL nuclease-free water (nf-H2O; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) after 5 min incubation on the membrane. Co-isolated cfNA was stored at −80 °C until further analysis.

A free and open access protocol for the procedure is available online (10.17504/protocols.io.81wgb6z9olpk/v1). Briefly, hemolymphatic LBs were collected from the abductor muscle as described [22 (link)]. The hemolymph was clarified by centrifugation at 1200 × g for 3 min, and the supernatant was frozen (−20 °C) until use. To isolate and purify ccfDNA, samples (1.5–2.0 mL) were thawed and processed using the NucleoSnap cfDNA kit (Macherey-Nagel, Bethlehen, PA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The ccfDNA was stored at −80 °C until further analysis. In some experiments, ccfDNA was extracted and purified using the QIAamp DNA Investigator Kit (QIAGEN, Toronto, ON, Canada). Purified DNA was quantified by standard PicoGreen assay. The fragment distribution of the extracted ccfDNA was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA) using a High Sensitivity DNA kit. The assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions using 1 μL of ccfDNA sample.

Liquid Biopsy cfDNA Extraction and NGS

Supernatants from pre-processed CSF samples were thawed and processed using the NucleoSnap cfDNA kit (Macherey-Nagel) according to the manufacturer’s instruction (Figure 1B). Elution was performed with 50 µl of 5 mM Tris-HCL. Extracted cfDNA was quantified by qPCR using primers for the ALU sequences referenced against serially diluted human genomic DNA (1 pg/µl – 10 ng/µl, 10-fold dilutions, Promega) (Iqbal et al., 2015 (link)). Size distribution of cfDNA was assessed using the TapeStation System and High Sensitivity D1000 Assay (Agilent). For MRD detection using lcWGS, up to 2 ng or 40 µl of cfDNA was used without fragmentation as input for library preparation with the Accel-NGS 2S Hyb DNA Library Kit (Swift Biosciences). Dephosphorylation, end repair, and ligation of single-indexing adapters were performed according to protocol while library amplification was guided by a pilot quantitative PCR run. No template controls were included in each experiment. Libraries were quantified by the PicoGreen dsDNA Assay (Invitrogen), pooled, and subjected to 100bp paired-end sequencing on the NovaSeq 6000 instrument (Illumina) targeting for 3x coverage.

Plasma was thawn and cfDNA was isolated from up to 2 ml using the NucleoSnap cfDNA kit (Macherey-Nagel, Düren, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s procotol. cfDNA was quantified using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay kit and the Qubit Fluorometer 3.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). DNA size distribution was assessed on the Bioanalyzer instrument using the DNA High Sensitivity Kit (Bioanalyzer, CA, 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.
