Five mosquito species, consisting of one pool of Aedes albopictus, one pool of Armigeres subalbatus, one pool of Culex hutchinsoni, two pools of Culex tritaeniorhynchus, and five pools of Culex quinquefasciatus, were examined for arbovirus detection using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), following the procedure of Supriyono et al. [16 (link)] with PCR reagent modifications. RNA was extracted using tissue total RNA mini kit (Geneaid Biotech®, Taiwan), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The total volume of PCR was 25 μL, consisting of 2.5 μL RNA sample, 12.5 μL of 2× MyTaq One-Step Mix, 1 μL of each forward and reverse primer (10 pmol/μL), 0.25 μL RT enzyme, 0.5 μL RiboSafe RNase inhibitor, and 7.5 μL diethyl pyrocarbonate-H2O (Bioline, UK).
The primers used to amplify the sequences were MAMD and cFD2 with the non-structural protein target gene NS5 Flavivirus (252–260 bp long) and VIR2052F and VIR2052R with the non-structural protein target gene NS4 Alphavirus (144 bp long). Amplification was carried out using a SimpliAmp Thermal Cycler machine (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The target gene, primer name, sequence, target size, and PCR conditions are presented in Table-1 [16 (link)]. The PCR product was electrophoresed on 1% agarose gel and visualized using an ultraviolet transilluminator.

Total RNA extraction, gDNA removal and reverse transcription were conducted as described previously [32 (link)]. Total RNA was extracted from the gonads using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen, Chadstone, VIC, Australia). Tissues were lysed by repetitive aspirations through a sterile 19 and 25-gauge needle connected to a 3 mL sterile syringe, to produce a homogenized lysate. Column removal of gDNA and subsequent purification of lysate followed those as described in the manufacturer’s protocols. RNA integrity was examined for the 18 and 28 S rRNA bands using gel electrophoresis through a 1% agarose in Tris-acetate-EDTA (TAE) buffer. The concentration of total RNA was determined using Qubit RNA HS Assay Kit (Life Technologies, Mulgrave, VIC, Australia). A total of 60 ng uL−1 of total RNA was used for reverse transcription using the Tetro Reverse Transcriptase and Ribosafe RNase inhibitor (Bioline, Eveleigh, NSW, Australia) as per the manufacturer’s protocols. The cDNA was stored at minus 20 °C and used without dilution in quantitative PCR.

Total RNA was extracted from various EV-A71 mutant strains grown in RD cells using the RNeasy extraction kit (Qiagen, USA). Quantitative real-time PCR was performed using the TouchTM Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad, CFX96), with 4 μl of RNA template, 10 μl of 2x SensiFAST probe No-ROX One Step Mix, 0.8uL Forward and Reverse primer (10uM), 0.2 uL probe (10uM), 0.2 ul reverse transcriptase, and 0.4 uL RiboSafe RNase inhibitor (BioLine, California, USA) in 20 μl of the final reaction mixture. The reaction was performed for one cycle at 48 °C for 10min, 95 °C for 2min, followed by 40 cycles at 95 °C for 5s and 60 °C for 20s in a 96-well plate. Three independent experiments were conducted for each sample. Threshold cycle value (Cq) data was determined using default threshold settings, and the mean Cq was calculated from the duplicate PCRs.

Concentrated proteins and ssRNA oligonucleotides stocks were diluted into the ITC buffer (50 mM Tris pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM DTT and 0.1 mM ZnCl2). Samples were kept RNase free by adding all of the time RNase inhibitor (0.4 u/µL) (Ribosafe Rnase Inhibitor, Bioline). All experiments were carried out by titrating proteins (100 μM) into RNA (10 μM), on a MicroCal i200 ITC microcalorimeter (GE Healthcare) at 25 °C. For each titration, an initial injection of 0.5 μL (discarded data) and 20 injections of 2 μL of titrant were made at 120 s intervals. Experimental data were corrected by subtraction of dilution heats from control experiments (protein titration into buffer) and finally analyzed (Origin7.0, MicroCal Software, Northampton, MA). The data were fitted to a 1:1 (one-site) model.

Polysomal RNA isolation was performed as described previously (Slobodin et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, Sucrose gradients for separation of polysomes were usually prepared by gentle sequential addition of 2.2mL of the different sucrose solutions (e.i., 47, 37, 27, 17 and 7% in Tris-HCl pH = 7.5 (f.c. 20mM), MgCl2 (f.c. 10mM) and KCl (f.c. 100mM), supplemented with 2mM DTT, Ribosafe RNase inhibitor (Bioline, 1 μL/mL) and CHX (100 μg/mL) into a 12 mL tube (Beckman, 9/16 × 3 ½ in.) and left overnight at 4°C to achieve continuous gradient prior to the centrifugation. Cells were treated with CHX and harvest after washing with PBS with CHX and lysed. The lysates were centrifuged 1300xg for 10 min at 4°C and the supernatants were transferred into new tubes. From the cleared lysates, 500 μL were loaded on top of each gradient, mounted on SW41TI rotor and centrifuged at 36000rpm for 2 h at 4°C. Following the centrifugation, each gradient was split into 15 equal fractions of 760 μL. Fractions 9-13 were collected for RNA isolation using TRIsure (Bioline) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, polyA selected followed by RNA library preparation as previously describe (Takara; 634,839). The experiment was performed in two biological replicates.

All RNASeq experiments were performed in triplicate from three independent biological replicates. RNA was extracted and quantified as described above. RNA was treated with DNAse in solution using the On-Column DNase I Digestion Set (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and maintained with Ribosafe RNAse Inhibitor (Bioline, London, UK). Quality and quantity of RNA were assessed by Nanodrop (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), Qubit (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Library preparation and sequencing were performed by Novogene. STAR aligner [22 (link)] was used for mapping sequence reads to the human genome (hg38 assembly), allowing up to three mismatches and retaining only reads that aligned with unique locations. Ensemble gene models [23 (link)] was used for quantifying gene expression from mapped reads using featureCounts [24 (link)], and genes that were lowly expressed (less than two samples with counts >10) were removed from subsequent analysis. Raw read counts were analyzed in RStudio using DESeq2, and differential expression was assessed [25 (link)]. Genes with adjusted p-values of <0.05 (Benjamani–Hochberg corrected) were assessed as differentially expressed.

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.
