Robust RNA-seq Library Preparation

Biological replicates for each cell line were obtained by independently growing cells in duplicate. Total RNA was purified from ~1 × 107 logarithmically growing cells using Qiagen (Valencia, CA) RNeasy columns per manufacturer’s instructions including on-column DNAse digestion. RNAs were quantified using a Take3 Micro-Volume plate in a Biotek (Winooski, VT) Synergy2 plate reader and their integrity confirmed using the Agilent RNA 6000 Pico Kit and the Agilent (Santa Clara, CA) 2100 Bioanalyzer System. 500 ng of total RNA with an RNA Integrity Number (RIN) greater than 7 were used to prepare sequencing libraries with the Illumina (San Diego, CA) TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit. Libraries were sequenced with an Illumina HiSeq 2000 System at the UCCC Genomics Core.

Bone Marrow RNA Extraction Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bone marrow was flushed from the right femur using a 19 g needle and 1 mL Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Medium (IMDM) with 2% FBS (STEMCELL Technologies, Inc., Cambridge, MA). Bone marrow cellularity and viability was assessed using 0.4% Trypan blue staining on a TC20 automated cell counter (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA).
The bone marrow was then centrifuged at 5,000 rpm in a microcentrifuge (Beckman-Coulter, Brea, CA) for 5 minutes. The supernatant was aspirated and preserved. Then 650 μl of RNA lysis buffer with 2-mercaptoethanol (Sigma), at a dilution of 10 μl 2-mercaptoethanol per mL lysis buffer, was added to the cell pellet and homogenized using a Bio-Gen Pro200 Homogenizer (PRO Scientific, Oxford CT). RNA was extracted from bone marrow and 30 mg liver using Purelink RNA mini kit (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA) following the manufacturer’s instructions. RNA concentrations and purity were determined by measuring the 260/280 ratio in a BioTek micro-volume plate on an EPOCH plate reader (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT).

The concentration of pure USP17 or USP17-Cys89Ser was determined using a Take3 Micro-Volume plate with a Biotek Synergy H1 plate reader. The extinction coefficient of purified USP17 was experimentally determined to be 58,104 M-1cm-1 for wild-type, and 58,338 M-1cm-1 for USP17-Cys89Ser as described by von Hippel et al [16 (link)].

MCU Silencing Gene Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the gene expression analysis of MCU silencing, after 96 h of transfection, total RNA was isolated from H9c2 cells by homogenization in TriReagent™ following manufacturer's instructions. The RNA quantification and purity assessment was performed with a Take3™ Micro-Volume plate used in the microplate spectrophotometer Synergy™ HT (BioTek® Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA). From one microgram of total RNA of each sample, cDNA was synthesized with the ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcription System (Promega®, Madison, WI, USA) and 5 ng was analyzed by qRT-PCR SensiFast™ SYBR® Lo-Rox Kit (Bioline®, London, UK). The housekeeping gene β-actin was used to normalize all data. Real-time PCR primer sequences to amplify a fragment of 158 bp of CCDC109A (MCU) gene are the following: fw, 5′-CACACAGTTTGGCATTTTGG-3′, and rv, 5′-TGTCTCTGGCTTCAGGATAA-3′. The primer sequences to amplify a fragment of 110 bp of β-actin are fw, 5′-GAAAAGATGACCCAGATCATG-3′, and rv, 5′-ATCACAATGCCAGTGGTAC-3′. Comparing expression analysis in siRNA-MCU cells to siRNA-Neg cells was performed using 2−ΔΔCt method.

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.
