Improving Pestivirus A cDNA Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initial experiments showed that priming cDNA synthesis with random primers led to a poorer yield of full-length cDNA, with clear reduction in representation of the 3′-end of the genome. In order to improve coverage of full-length genomes, two approaches were used. In the first approach, a pestivirus A genotype 1a-specific primer (B12; Table 2) was used to prime cDNA synthesis from the 3′-end of the viral genome, whilst in the second approach, viral RNA samples were polyadenylated using poly-A polymerase before cDNA synthesis primed by anchored oligo-dT primers. In each case, synthesis of double-stranded cDNA was done using the Superscript III cDNA synthesis system (Life Technologies), with RNAseH, Escherichia coli DNA polymerase and E. coli DNA ligase in the second strand mix.
The presence of double-stranded pestivirus A-specific cDNA after synthesis was assayed qualitatively by end-point PCR before and after restriction endonuclease digestion of the cDNA, using primers that amplified either conserved regions of the virus (all samples) or the entire NADL genome as a set of overlapping amplicons. Restriction enzyme treatment of cDNA clearly reduced the yield of PCR products (not shown).

Total leaf RNA was extracted from 7-d-old seedlings, and from 14-d-old cotyledons and true leaves using an RNeasy Plant Mini kit (Qiagen). RNA concentration was determined using thermo NanoDrop 2000. Total RNA from seedlings of the wild-type and the ECD1-RNAi-1 line was separated on 1.3% (w/v) agarose-formaldehyde gels, blotted to a nylon membrane, and subsequently hybridized with a probe labeled with 32P. The probes were prepared by PCR amplification and labeled using the Prime-a-Gene Labeling System (SGMB01-Promega-U1100).
RNA was used to generate first-strand cDNA in a 20-μl reaction using the Superscript III cDNA synthesis system (Invitrogen). The resulting cDNA samples were used as templates for RT-PCR analysis. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed using the SYBR Premix ExTaq Kit (Takara) following the manufacturer’s instructions with a Light Cycler 480 system. The expression level was normalized to that of an ACTIN control.

Osteoclasts seeded on day 4 at 1.5×106 cells/ml were used in all experiments. RNA was isolated at time point described in Figure legends. 10 to 50 ng of RNA was used for first-strand cDNA synthesis in 50μL reaction per kit instructions (Superscript III cDNA synthesis system; Invitrogen). In all cases ~10% of the cDNA product was used in a 50μL PCR reaction that contained 2 μM each forward and reverse primers. For quantitative PCR (qPCR) SYBR green system (Invitrogen) was used. Otherwise, cDNA was amplified (25 cycles) and the products resolved on 1.2 % agarose gel and visualized by ethidium bromide staining.

Quantifying Gene Expression in Liver Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Qiagen’s RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, UK) was used for RNA extraction from liver tissues. After RNA normalization of all the tubes to 2 μg, reverse transcription with SuperScript III cDNA Synthesis System (Invitrogen, UK) to complementary DNA (cDNA) was carried out in a 20 μL reaction mix. Gene Runner software was used for primer design. Primers had sequences of different exons with spanning and flanking of introns to exclude the amplification of contaminating genomic DNA (gDNA). Table 3 gives the primer sequences for β-actin, Bax, and Bcl-2. Relative expression patterns of assessed genes were carried out with 1 μL synthesized cDNA (10 ng/μL) as the template in 5 μL Power Up SYBR Green PCR Master Mix and 0.75 μL of each primer using a 7500 Fast real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems). β-Actin was selected as the housekeeping gene. Results were validated using the relative quantification (ΔΔCt) method. The genes were measured in triplicates and the mean for these runs was normalized with the mean of β-actin (Table 3).

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.
