RNA was isolated from samples using the NucleoSpin TriPrep kit (MACHEREY‐NAGEL), according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA integrity was measured using an Agilent 2200 TapeStation and RNA Screen Tapes (Agilent Technologies). Sequencing libraries were prepared using an NEB Next Ultra II RNA Library Kit for Illumina (New England Biolabs), according to the manufacturer's protocol, and prepared libraries were run on an Illumina HiSeq × high‐throughput sequencing system. Paired‐end reads were aligned to the hg19 human genome assembly using STAR.18 Fusion transcripts were detected using Genomon version 2.6.2 (https://github.com/Genomon‐Project/) and filtered by excluding fusions: (a) mapping to repetitive regions, (b) with fewer than four spanning reads, (c) that occurred out of frame, or (d) that had junctions not located at known exon–intron boundaries. The expression level of each RefSeq gene was calculated from mapped read counts using HTSeq and normalized using the Bioconductor package, DESeq2 version 1.28.1.23. Supercomputing resources were provided by the Human Genome Center, Institute of Medical Science, The University of Tokyo. Hierarchical clustering was applied and performed using Ward's method to calculate Euclidian distances. Cluster stability was ascertained by consensus clustering using the R package, ConsensusClusterPlus, with 500 iterations.

RNA Integrity Assessment Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA concentrations were determined by OD 260 nm measurements on a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington, DE). RNA integrity was assessed by the RNA Integrity Number (RIN) using a 2200 TapeStation Instrument with RNA ScreenTapes (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA). The RIN is a number on a scale from 1 to 10, where RIN = 10 indicates intact RNA and RIN = 1 indicates completely degraded RNA (Schroeder et al., 2006 (link)). Each TapeStation lane image were scaled separately with the TapeStation Analysis software option “Scale to Sample”.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Developing grains were first collected from fully emerged panicles at 5 DPE and then at 5 d intervals from 5 to 40 DPE. For each of 3 biological replicates, 10 individual grains (glumes removed) from a single panicle were pooled into a 2-mL tube and snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Frozen oat grains (100 mg/sample) were ground to fine powder using a plastic pestle. The RNA was extracted using the Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit (Sigma-Aldrich) with some additional optimization steps. Samples were pretreated with 0.03% v/v α-amylase (Sigma-Aldrich, A4551-100MG) in lysis buffer, vortexed for 1 min, and incubated at RT for 6 min. β-Mercaptoethanol was then added to 0.01% v/v and samples vortexed again for 30 s prior to centrifugation at RT for 5 min at ∼16,000 × g. The supernatant was then transferred to a filtering column, and the Spectrum Plant Total RNA protocol was followed using the manufacturer's instructions including the on-column DNase treatment. Protocol A was used for the binding buffer solution. Samples were further purified using RNA Clean & Concentrator-5 kit (Zymo Research, R1016) to ensure sufficient RNA purity and concentration. RNA analyses were undertaken using a 4150 TapeStation System (Agilent) with RNA Screen Tapes (Agilent, 5067-5576) following the manufacturer's instructions.

The sequencing workflow was performed as previously described51 (link). Briefly, RNA from sorted neutrophils and macrophages (purity 99–100%) was extracted with an RNeasy Plus Micro Kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Extracted RNA quality and quantity were assessed using an Agilent 2200 TapeStation System (Agilent) with RNA ScreenTapes (Agilent). Next-generation sequencing libraries were created with 10 ng of RNA from samples with distinct 18S and 28S peaks and RNA integrity number values greater than 7, using an NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit from Illumina (New England Biolabs) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA libraries were pooled and sent for single-end 75-bp sequencing at the Genomics Laboratory of The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research on a NextSeq 500 next-generation sequencer (Illumina) to obtain ∼20 million reads per sample.

gDNA was isolated from bacteria grown on blood agar plates using the Genomic-tip 100/G kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) following the manufacturer's protocol. The gDNA pellet was dissolved over night at room temperature with EB buffer.
For RNA extraction, 5 ml of bacterial cells grown in liquid medium were pelleted (4°C, 6000 × g, 3 min), snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C. Afterwards, bacterial pellets were disrupted with a FastPrep® FP120 Cell Disrupter (Thermo Savant) using Lysing Matrix B 2 ml tubes containing 0.1 mm silica beads (MP Biomedicals, Eschwege, Germany). Isolation of RNA was performed using the RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and on-column DNase digestion with DNase I. A second DNase treatment was carried out using the TURBO DNA-free™ Kit (Ambion, Kaufungen, Germany). Isolated RNA was checked for the absence of DNA contamination by PCR.
DNA and RNA concentrations were measured using a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Peqlab Biotechnologies). RNA quality given as RINe number was measured with an Agilent 4200 Tape Station system using RNA Screen Tapes (Agilent, Waldbronn, Germany). All RINe numbers of RNA preparations used for further processing were higher than 8.2, confirming high quality and little RNA degradation.

The study was approved by All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh institutional ethical board (177/IEC/IM/2019). After obtaining informed written consent from the GBC patients and healthy controls, the cancer tissue (2 in number) was obtained from excised gallbladder during surgery and stored in RNA later at − 20 °C until the experiments were performed. All methods and procedures conducted during the course of this study were performed in accordance with applicable ethical standards, guidelines, and regulations. Gallbladder tissue excised as a part of specimen in surgery, e.g., Whipple’s procedure, right hepatic resection, etc., for normal non-dysplastic gallbladder (3 in number) was taken as a control. The miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Cat#217004) was used to extract RNA from these specimens, and the Qubit RNA BR Assay (Invitrogen, Cat# Q10211) was used to quantify all samples. QIAxpert was used to examine RNA quality, and Tape Station was used to analyse RNA integrity using RNA screen Tapes (Agilent, Cat# 5067–5576).

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.
