Per offspring, colon and SI samples were analysed as described previously [43 (link)], and in total, six male and six female samples were used in this analysis (three of the nine females were not included in the microarray analysis due to budget limitations). In brief, 100 ng of purified RNA was used for the preparation of labelled cDNA, applying the Ambion Whole Transcript (WT) Expression Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in combination with the Affymetrix GeneChip WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). All samples were hybridized at one time point to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.1 ST arrays according to standard Affymetrix protocols. Quality control and normalization were performed using Bioconductor software packages integrated in an on-line pipeline [44 (link)]. Normalized expression estimates of probe sets were computed by the robust multiarray (RMA) analysis algorithm available in the Bioconductor library AffyPLM using default settings [45 (link)]. Probe sets were redefined according to Dai et al. [46 (link)] and assigned to unique gene identifiers (IDs) of the Entrez Gene database, resulting in 21,187 assigned Entrez IDs. Array data were submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus and are available under accession number GSE57516.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Jurkat cells were grown in 4 independent cultures for several passages, transiently transfected with pre-miR-150 or control (scrambled) pre-miRNA and then treated with rapamycin or DMSO for 72 h. Total RNA was analyzed on the Agilent Bioanalyzer to confirm integrity. cDNA was synthesized and labeled using the Ambion whole transcript (WT) expression kit (Life Technologies), hybridized to 24-array HuGene 1.1ST plates and run on the GeneTitan Multi-Channel Instrument (Affymetrix). Data analysis was done in Genomics Suite (Partek). Probe intensities were normalized using the RMA method. Expression changes were calculated using 1-way ANOVA with the p-value < 0.05 as a cutoff for significance. Network and pathway enrichment analyses were performed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis software and GO term enrichment was performed using GOrilla: http://cbl-gorilla.cs.technion.ac.il (27 (link)).

Microarray Analysis of Liver RNA Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hundred nanograms of purified RNA from the liver of the individual mice was used for the preparation of labeled cDNA, applying the Ambion Whole Transcript (WT) Expression kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, USA) in combination with the Affymetrix GeneChip WT Terminal Labeling kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, USA). All samples were hybridized at one time point to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.1 ST arrays according to standard Affymetrix protocols. Microarray analysis was performed in MADMAX, a pipeline for statistical analysis of microarray data 42. Arrays were normalized using the Robust Multiarray Average 43, 44. Probe sets were defined according to Dai et al. 45. In this method probes are assigned to unique gene identifiers, in this case Entrez IDs. The probes on the Gene 1.1 ST arrays represent 21 225 Entrez IDs. Array data were submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus and are available under accession number GSE93642.

We prepared cDNA from total RNA using the Ambion Whole Transcript (WT) Expression Kit (Ambion) as previously described [15 (link)]. The cDNA was fragmented, labeled, hybridized, stained, and washed per the manufacturer’s recommendations (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Samples were then applied to the Rat Gene 1.1 ST 16 Array Plate or 24 Array Plate and placed in the GeneTitan System (Affymetrix) according the manufacturer’s recommendations. Of the 144 arrays, 2 liver arrays, 1 lung array, and 1 heart array did not pass quality control checks and were excluded from further analysis.

RNA was diluted to 50 ng/μL, and synthesized to cRNA using the Ambion Whole Transcript (WT) Expression Kit (Ambion, Cat. No. 4411974, Austin, TX) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cRNA was quantified by NanoDrop and 455 ng/μL was used as a template to synthesize cDNA. The samples were then fragmented using the GeneChip WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Cat. No. 901524, Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), labeled, and prepared with the GeneTitan Hybridization, Wash and Stain Kit for whole-transcript array plates (Affymetrix, Cat. No. 901622), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Samples were then applied to the Rat Gene 1.1 ST 16 Array Plate or 24 Array Plate (Affyemetrix, Cat. No. 901432, 901431, respectively) and placed in the GeneTitan System (Affymetrix, Cat. No. D0101330), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Of the 44 arrays, two did not hybridize appropriately and did not pass the GeneTitan scanning QC, and were excluded from further analysis.

We prepared cDNA from total tissue RNA using the Ambion Whole Transcript (WT) Expression Kit (Ambion) according to manufacturer’s recommendations, fragmenting the cDNA using the GeneChip WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Following manufacturer’s instructions, we prepared labeled cDNA, trays, and arrays with the GeneTitan Hybridization, Wash and Stain Kit for WT array plates (Affymetrix). Samples were then applied to the Rat Gene 1.1 ST 16 Array Plate or 24 Array Plate and placed in the GeneTitan System (Affymetrix), according manufacturer’s recommendations. Of the 144 arrays, 2 liver, 1 lung, and 1 heart array did not pass the GeneTitan scanning quality control. Thus, 4 arrays (2.7%) were excluded from further analysis.

The Affymetrix Genechip Mouse Clariom S was used to examine gene expression (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Sample processing and generation of Microarray data was completed by experienced technicians in the Molecular Resource Center at UTHSC. In brief, two hundred nanograms of DNase-treated total RNA was amplified, labeled, and fragmented using Ambion Whole Transcript (WT) Expression Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Santa Clara, CA USA). Samples were hybridized overnight according to manufacturer’s protocols; samples were then washed and stained on Affymetrix GeneChip Fluidics Station 450 (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA) followed by scanning on the GeneChip Scanner 3000 (Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA, USA). Data was normalized and analyzed for quality control in Affymetrix Expression Console Software using RMA-sketch normalization (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). After normalization and quality control, a total number of 22,203 probe sets were used for subsequent data analysis. A total of 128 samples were used—4 samples per treatment (control, ethanol), per sex (male, female), and per strain (B6, D2, BXD2, BXD48a, BXD60, BXD71, BXD73, BXD100) (Supplemental Table S1).

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.
