Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dynabeads Oligo(dT)25 (Life Technologies) were equilibrated with 50 µL Lysis/Binding Buffer, and total RNA was heat denatured (70°C for 2 minutes) prior to binding poly(A)+ RNA to Dynabeads. Isolation of mRNA was performed according to manufacturer’s instructions. Poly(A)+ RNA concentrations were measured with a fluorescence plate reader (Molecular Devices) using Quant-iT RiboGreen reagent (Life Technologies).

RNA was extracted and purified with a glass fiber filter plate (Pall # 5072) and chiotropic salts. Messenger RNA expression levels were quantitated with quantitative reverse transcription PCR on the QuantStudio7 PCR Instrument (Applied Biosystems). Briefly, 10 μl RT-qPCR reactions containing 4 μl of RNA were run with Agpath-ID reagents (Applied Biosystems) and gene specific TaqMan primer probe sets (Integrated DNA Technologies) following the manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA levels, measured with Quant-iT Ribogreen Reagent (Thermo Fisher), were used to normalize the RT-qPCR data.

Quantification of siRNA Loading in Nanoparticles

siRNA actual loading was
evaluated indirectly by quantitation of non-encapsulated siRNA. Briefly,
just after production, hNPs were collected by centrifugation (7000
rcf for 20 min at 4 °C) and the supernatant was analyzed for
siRNA content using Quant-IT RiboGreen reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific,
Massachusetts, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Quantitative analysis was performed by spectrofluorimetry at λexem 480 nm/520 nm (ProMega GloMax Plate
reader, USA). Results are reported as actual loading (nmol of encapsulated
siRNA per mg of hNPs) and encapsulation efficiency (actual loading/theoretical
loading × 100) ± SD of values collected from three different
batches.

Nanoparticle Size and DNA Loading

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Particle sizes were measured and calculated by intensity using Zetasizer Nano ZSP (Malvern Panalytical, Malvern, UK) according to the manufacturer’s protocol [26 ]. The loading efficiency of pDNA was analyzed by using the Quant-iT™ RiboGreen® reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific R11491, Waltham, MA, USA) as described earlier [27 ]. First, a calibration curve was obtained using standard pDNA in the concentration range 0.03–0.2 µg/mL. After that, DNA concentration was measured in obtained nanoparticles before and after disruption with the Triton X-100 buffer. The difference in these values shows the portion of loaded pDNA.

Formulation and Characterization of siRNA-LNP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used one small interfering RNA (siRNA) described by Leuschner et al.51 (link) and in Supplementary Methods. siRNA was selected to avoid off-target activity based on several known criteria as described previously52 (link). siRNA modification with 2′-OMe pyrimidine nucleotides and 3′-internucleotide phosphorothioates should reduce immune response and increase stability in vivo. Potency of siRNA targeting CCR2 were studied by transfection in Hepa1–6 cells followed by qPCR analysis after 24 h. siRNA were formulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), as previously described52 (link). Particle size measurements were performed using a Zetasizer Nano ZSP (Malvern Panalytical) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, siRNA entrapment efficiency was determined using the Quant-iT™ RiboGreen® reagent (R11491, Thermo Fisher Scientific) as described52 (link).

Midgut Tissue RNA Extraction and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was extracted from midgut tissue using Qiagen RNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) and treated with RNase Free DNase (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) as per manufacturer’s protocol. RNA quality was assessed with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and a Eukaryote Total RNA Nano Series II chip (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). RNA ribosomal integrity numbers (RIN) from all samples except one, ranged between 8.1 and 9.1, where any RIN above eight is considered high quality (Fleige & Pfaffl, 2006 (link)). RNA was quantified with Quant-iT™ RiboGreen® reagent and a Labsystems Fluoroskan Ascent™ Microplate Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Samples were precipitated with 1/10th volume sodium acetate and 2.5x volume pure ethanol and stored at −80 °C prior to shipment. Eight samples with RIN greater than eight from each treatment were shipped to the Georgia Genomic Facility (GGF) for library preparation and sequencing. The quality of the total RNA was confirmed by GGF using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. GGF prepared barcoded cDNA libraries using a KAPA Stranded mRNA-Seq Kit (Wilmington, MA) and sequenced them on the Illumina NextSeq 500 using paired-end sequencing with a NextSeq 2×75 High Output Flow Cell.

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.
