Materials
- Purify total RNA, via the protocol: Purification of miRNA and mRNA with TRIzol
- PolyA polymerase (NEB cat# M0276S)
- Phenol/Choroform mixture (1:1 ratio)
- 3M Sodium acetate pH 5.2
- Isopropanol
- Superscript III reverse transcriptase (Life Technologies Catalog # 18080093)
- miRNA Oligo dT Adapter Primer 5'GCGAGCACAGAATTAATACGACTCACTATAGGTTTTTTTTTTTTVN-3, dissolved to 50 uM
- dNTP Mixture (10 mM of each). Note this is not the normal 1 mM dNTP stock in the lab.
- Reverse Adapter Sequence 5'GCGAGCACAGAATTAATACGACTCAC-3
- Mature miRNA Primer, this is a gene specific primer corresponding to the mature miRNA sequence.
Protocol
PolyA Tailing of RNA
- Incubate at 37°C for 1 hour. Components include
- 1 ug RNA
- 2 uL 10X polymerase reaction buffer
- 2 uL ATP (10 mM, comes with polymerase)
- 1 uL poly(A) polymerase
- ddH2O to a final volume of 20 uL
- Add 160 uL Water, 20 uL of 3 M sodium acetate, pH 5.2 and 200 uL of phenol/chloroform to tailed RNA, mix by tapping to form an emulsion
- Centrifuge for 1 min on max to separate layers
- Transfer the upper (aqueous) layer to a clean tube. Add 200 uL chloroform and mix, spin and extract aqueous layer to a new tube twice to remove the excess phenol
- Add 140 uL of isopropanol, mix and incubate 5 minutes. Centrifuge 15 minutes on max. Aspirate supernatant being careful not to touch the pellet and air dry for 5-10 mins
- Redissolved in 6 μL of water
Reverse Transcriptase
- Reverse-transcribed into first-strand cDNA using Superscript III transcriptase (Invitrogen) with the oligo-dT adapter primer
- Add to an eppendorf tube (this is per reaction):
- 1 uL of miRNA Oligo dT Adapter Primer
- 1uL of dNTP
- 6uL of tailed RNA
- 5 uL Sterile water
- Heat at 65C for 5 minutes in the heating block.
- Briefly centrifuge then transfer to a PCR tube and add (per reaction):
- 4 uL 5X First Strand Buffer
- 1 uL 0.1M DTT
- 1 uL RNAseOUT
- 1 uL of Superscript III RT
- Mix gently by pipetting and place in the PCR machine for the following program (called SS III Reaction):
- Incubate at 50C for 60 min
- Inactivate by heating at 70C for 15 min
- Can store the tailed cDNA at -20 until qPCR
qPCR
- Generally use 100 ng of cDNA was as a template in each reaction (1/10th of the cDNA mixture).
- The reverse primer was from the adapter sequence: 5'-GCGAGCACAGAATTAATACGACTCAC-3' and the forward primers were specific to miRNA mature sequences.
- The SYBR Green-based real-time PCR was performed to quantify miRNA expression, and U6 can be used for normalization.
- Can use a protocol similar to the QPCR for mRNA quantification
