A miScript II RT kit (Qiagen) was used to perform reverse transcription. The preamplification of miRNAs prior to quantification was required to accurately assess their expression because of their low abundance in EVs. A miScript Preamp PCR kit (Qiagen) in conjunction with the miScript Human Prostate Cancer PreAMP PCR primer mix was used to perform multiplex PCR-based preamplification reactions. miScript miRNA PCR array with a Human Prostate Cancer Panel (Qiagen) was used to measure miRNA expression profiles and qPCR reactions were performed on the ABI ViiA 7 (Applied Biosystems). Six control small nuclear RNAs: SNORD61, SNORD68, SNORD72, SNORD95, SNORD96A, and RNU6B/RNU6-2 were used to normalize the expression values of miRNAs, and differential expression was calculated using the ΔΔCt method. Raw data were analyzed using the miScript miRNA PCR Array Data Analysis Website (https://geneglobe.qiagen.com/us/analyze).

Serum miRNA Expression Analysis in CSU

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was isolated from serum samples (200 μL per sample) of 50 CSU patients and 50 controls using a miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Qiagen miScript Reverse Transcription (RT) Kit II (Hilden, Germany) was used for cDNA extraction. The cDNAs were amplified using the Qiagen miScript PreAMP PCR kit (Hilden, Germany). Following the cDNA extraction, the real‐time polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) stage began to analyze the expression levels of miR‐155 and miR‐221. The reaction components for RT‐PCR were prepared using the Qiagen miScript SYBR Green PCR kit. SNORD61 was used for the normalization of RT‐PCR. RT‐PCR Rotor‐Gene Q (Qiagen) was used to identify SNORD61 expression levels as a reference along with the hsa‐miR‐155‐3p and hsa‐miR‐221‐3p miRNA primers.

miRNome Profiling by qPCR Array

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
miRNome profiling was performed by using miScript miRNome PCR arrays (Qiagen, MIHS-216Z). 10 ng of miRNA were reverse transcribed by using miScript II RT-PCR according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reverse transcribed cDNA functioned as a template for the pre-amplification. Pre-amplification of mature miRNA was performed by using miScript PreAmp PCR kit (Qiagen, 331451). 10 μl of cDNA were diluted into 40 μl of H2O. 5 μl of diluted cDNA were used as a template for the pre-amplification reactions. Three different pre-amplification reactions were set up for each sample, each one using a different set of primer mix to cover the entire miRNome (Qiagen, MBHS-3216Z). Following pre-amplification, pre-amplified miRNA was pulled in one tube and used for miRNome qPCR assay. The miRNA expression was normalized to RNU6_2 housekeeping gene and the fold change to pCDH lentiviral vector control was calculated. Significantly differentiated miRNAs were analyzed for mRNA targets using DIANA mirPath software (Vlachos et al., 2015 (link)) (http://diana.imis.athena-innovation.gr/DianaTools/index.php). The predicted miRNA binding sites were determined using miRcode transcriptome-wide miRNA target prediction tool (Jeggari et al., 2012 (link)) (http://mircode.org/index.php).

Using the miScript II RT kit (Qiagen) with HiSpec Buffer (Qiagen) to focus on mature miRNAs with oligo-dT primers, we reverse-transcribed 100 ng of total RNA. Next, the cDNA was amplified with miScript PreAMP PCR kit (Qiagen). The PCR was then performed with the miScript SYBR Green PCR kit (Qiagen) on a Mx3000P Q-PCR system (Agilent Technologies), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The PCR miScript Primer Assays (Qiagen) of let-7f (MIMAT0000067), miR-199a-3p (MIMAT0000232), miR-1207-5p (MIMAT0005871), miR-21 (MIMAT0000076), miR-24 (MIMAT0000080), miR-29a (MIMAT0000086), miR-29b (MIMAT0000100), miR-29c (MIMAT0000681), miR-34a (MIMAT0000255), miR-451 (MIMAT0001631), and RNU6-2 were used for q-RT-PCR.

Colorectal miRNA Quantification

MiRNAs from colorectal tissues and plasma were polyadenylated and reverse transcribed using the miScript II RT kit and miScript HiSpec buffer (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s procedure. RNAse-free water (40 μL) was added to the synthesized cDNA (10 μL), and the mixture was aliquoted into PCR tubes and stored at −20°C until analysis.
MiScript PreAMP PCR Kit (Qiagen) was used to pre-amplify the cDNA target templates following manufacturer instructions. MiR-16 was analyzed to determine the optimal dilution for real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Samples that generated Ct values between 10 and 24 needed no further dilution for target miRNAs using RT-qPCR. Efficiency of reverse transcription was measured using miRTC assay. Efficient reverse transcription for the miRTC primer assay was set at Ct values between 14 and 20.

One microliter of complementary DNA was preamplified using the miScript PreAmp PCR Kit following the manufacturer's recommendations (Qiagen). The spike-in control C. elegans miR-39 mimic was not preamplified. qPCR reactions were performed in duplicate, except for miR-24-3p in CSF, a putative internal reference gene,14 (link) which was assayed in triplicate. Patients' subgroups and controls were equally distributed across each run to minimize interrun bias for a single miRNA target.

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.
