Total RNA was extracted from purified neutrophil populations using the Direct-zol kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA). RNA purity and concentration were determined spectrophotometrically. RNA quality was assessed on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) using an RNA 6000 Pico LabChip. Total RNA was amplified and labeled using the Nugen Ovation Pico WTA System V2 kit (Tecan Genomics, Redwood City, CA). Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 microarray processing was carried out as outlined in the Affymetrix GeneChip manual. Data capture and initial array quality assessment were performed with the GeneChip operating software. The R statistical analysis tool was used to calculate probe-level summaries (frozen robust multiarray average analysis) from the array CEL files (30 ). All analyses were conducted using R. Pairwise group assessments were conducted for each probeset using a Student’s or Welch’s t test depending on the results of a Bartlett’s test for equal variance. Genes were considered differentially expressed if they displayed a fold change >1.5 and unadjusted P < 0.05.

After collection EDTA blood samples (5 ml) were immediately placed on ice. Blood samples were centrifuged twice at 1700 rpm for 20 min at 4°C and plasma was collected in cryovials for storage at −80°C until use. After thawing an 75 μl aliquot of plasma was added to 2 ml of TriReagent (Sigma Aldrich) and passed through a 20 gauge-needle for about 10 times. Then, proteinase K (Qiagen) was added to each sample with a final concentration of 0.05 mg/ml and samples were digested for 45 min at 56°C. Following incubation, each sample was passed through a 20 gauge-needle for about 10 times and centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 10 minutes at 4°C.
RNA extraction was then performed through the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit according to the manufacturer instructions. RNA was eluted in 30 μl of RNase free water.
To assess RNA integrity 1 μl of total RNA was analyzed through the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and the RNA 6000 Pico LabChip, according to the manufacturer instruction. Electropherograms showed trace of RNA samples that could not be quantified, characterized by high fragmentation.

Each frozen sample was ground in a mortar with liquid nitrogen, and then total RNA was isolated using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA) following the manufacture's protocol. The final total RNA was dissolved in 200 µL RNase-free water. The concentration of total RNA was determined using a NanoDrop2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, USA), and the RNA integrity was checked using an RNA 6000 Pico LabChip with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, USA). The total RNA was incubated with 10 U DNase I (Ambion, USA) at 37°C for 1 h, and then nuclease-free water was added to dilute the sample volume to 250 µL. The messenger RNA (mRNA) was further purified with a MicroPoly(A) Purist Kit (Ambion, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The mRNA was dissolved in 100 µL of RNA Storage Solution (Ambion). The final concentration was determined using a NanoDrop2000 spectrophotometer.

RNA isolation was performed as described previously [15] (link). In short, approximately 30 mg of frozen tumor was disrupted/lysed and homogenized and total RNA was isolated and treated with DNase using the RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, The Netherlands) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Quantity and integrity were assessed with the Bioanalyzer Agilent BioAnalyzer-2100 (Bioanalyzer, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) in combination with an RNA 6000 Pico-LabChip. The average RNA integrity number 8.5 (range: 7.2–9.8) was found to be appropriate [22] (link). RNA concentration was quantified using a NanoDrop ND-1000 (Isogen Life Science) spectrophotometer.

Total RNA from FACS sorted human neutrophils was extracted using an Arcturus PicoPure RNA isolation kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The quality of total RNA from neutrophils was assessed with a 2100 Bioanalyzer using a RNA 6000 Pico LabChip (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). RNA for which the RNA integrity number (RIN) was greater than 7.0 was used for library preparation and RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq). RNA-Seq was performed by the NextSeq 500 system (Illumina, San Diego, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. FASTQ sequence data was trimmed and filtered by fastp (v0.21.0), was aligned by HISAT2 (v2.1.0) and then the expression levels were calculated by StringTie (v2.1.3) using Subio platform ver. 1.24 (Subio Inc., Kagoshima, Japan). The count data were log 2 transformed, normalized by global normalization, centered and then analyzed using Subio Platform. Gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed by g:Profiler. GO associated with up-regulated genes in NP neutrophils was identified based on an adjusted p value <0.05 by g:SCS algorithm.15 (link) We also used the TPM (transcripts per million) data for individual comparison of each gene.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gene expression analysis was performed on neurones isolated from 10 cases (5 high neuronal DDR and 5 low DDR) using laser capture microscopy (LCM) (Figure 1), based on previous investigation of the neuronal DDR (DNA–PKcs and γH2AX) in this cohort [8]. Details of cases used in the microarray study are shown in Table 1. Validation experiments were performed on LCM‐isolated neurones from the remaining 29 CFAS cases. Frozen sections (7 μm) were fixed in ice cold acetone for 3 min and stained with Toludine Blue for 1 min. Sections were dehydrated in a graded series of ethanol (70, 95 and 100%), extensively cleared in xylene and air dried for 1 h. Approximately, 1000 pyramidal neurones were isolated from each case using a PixCell II LCM system (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Total RNA was extracted using the PicoPure RNA extraction kit according to the manufacturer's protocol (Life Technologies), with typical yields of 100 ng of RNA. The quantity (NanoDrop 1000 spectrophotometer, Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE USA) and quality (Agilent Bioanalyser 2100, RNA 6000 Pico LabChip; Agilent, Palo Alto, CA, USA) of the starting RNA were analysed. Sterile solutions made with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC)‐treated water and RNAse‐free conditions were used throughout this protocol.

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.
