Chicken retina LD2 vs LD18

ABSTRACT: Chickens were kept under a regimen of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark for 7 days. At LD2, 2 hours into the light cycle on the 8th day, 3 chickens were sacrificed by decapitation and their retinas dissected and pooled. Similarly, at LD18, 6 hours into the dark cycle on the 8th day, retinas were harvested from 3 chickens. Total RNA was extracted from each set of retinas using Trizol Reagent (Invitrogen). The total RNA samples were amplified to produce aRNA using the Message Amp Kit (Ambion). Randomly primed fluorescent probes were produced from the aRNA samples using a Genisphere 3DNA Array 900MPX expression array detection kit. The fluorescent dye on the probe derived from the experimental aRNA (LD2) was Cy5 while the dye on the control probe (LD18) was Cy3. Hybridizations and washes were as suggested by Genisphere. Labeled arrays were scanned in an Affymetrix 428 array scanner. The images obtained were subsequently analyzed by GenePixPro software (Axon Instruments). The GenePix results (.gpr) file was further analyzed by GeneSpring 5 (Silicon Genetics) which applied intensity dependent LOWESS normalization to the results and calculated normalized Cy5 to Cy3 ratios.

Project description:The simultaneous measurement of gene expression for thousands of genes in a single analysis by the microarray technology allows researchers to describe transcriptomes in various samples of interest. Problems with variation in data quality derived from microarray experiments are well known and might result from poor RNA quality, background problems, or sub optimal signal strength. To assess variation due to the fluorescent dye chosen, three different dye pairs were tested for labelling of cDNA in gene expression analysis experiments on a porcine immune focused oligonucleotide microarray (POM3). This in-house oligonucleotide microarray allowed a direct comparison of background fluorescence, Median signal intensities, numbers of spots detected, and resistance to photobleaching between different dye pairs. We tested Alexa Flour 546/647, Cy3/Cy5 as well as Oyster 550/650 all from Genisphere Inc., Hatfield, PA, USA. Keywords: Comparison of fluorescent dyes Each dye pairs were hybridized on two slides. The same two samples were compared on all the slides used in the present study. The liver sample from a healthy animal was labeled with the high wavelength dyes (Oyster 650/Alexa 647/Cy5) and the liver sample from the sick animal was labeled with the low wavelength dyes (Oyster 550/Alexa 546/Cy3). Each slide was scanned 3 times, immediately after hybridization (first round), after 1 month of storage in darkness and after 24 hours on the bench (12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of artificial light). Total RNA from the infected and control liver samples were extracted using RNeasy midi kit (Qiagen, Denmark) and DNase treated using RNase-Free DNase Set (Qiagen). 3DNATM Array 900 expression array detection kits (Genisphere Inc.) were used for the labeling and cDNA synthesis reaction of the RNA in the present study. Three different pairs of fluorescent dyes Oyster 550/650 (Genisphere Inc.), Alexa 546/647 (Genisphere Inc.), and Cy3/Cy5 (Genisphere Inc.) were used in separate labeling reactions. Labeling was done according to the manufacturers protocol for large-scale cDNA synthesis. For the cDNA synthesis 9.2Âµg total RNA from each liver sample was used and mixed with 20U AmpliQ RTenzyme and 10x first strand buffer (Bie og Berntsen, RÃ¸dovre, Denmark). Hybridization and washing were performed according to the manufacturers instructions (Genisphere) using Corning hybridization chambers. For one cDNA hybridization reaction; 6.5Âµl cDNA from each synthesis, 0.5Âµl Salmon sperm (10Âµg/Âµl) and 13.5Âµl 2 x Formamide-Based Hybridization Buffer (3DNA Array 900, Genisphere) was used. A total hybridization mix of 29Âµl was applied under a 22I x 25 mm LifterSlip (Erie Scientific, Portsmouth, NH, USA) carefully avoiding air bubbles. Slides were incubated at 44oC in a water bath over night. Wash buffer 1 (3DNA Array 900, Genisphere) was preheated to 44oC for the post cDNA hybridization wash. For two 3DNA hybridization reaction mixes; 2.5Âµl of each Capture reagent and 26Âµl SDS-Based hybridization buffer was mixed to a final volume of 52Âµl. 26Âµl 3DNA hybridization mix was applied to each slide, and incubated in darkness in a water bath at 50oC for 4 hours. Wash buffer 1 was preheated to 60oC for the post 3DNA hybridization wash. Slides were scanned on a CCD ArrayWoRxe auto (Applied Precision, Issaquah, WA, USA) using different exposure times (0.3 for 595 nm and 1.2 for 685 nm).

Project description:Gene expression in endometrial cancer cells (Ishikawa) after short time exposure to progestins Sample and RNA preparation: The series is composed of sixteen hybridizations for analysis of differentially expressed genes in endometrial cancer cells (Ishikawa). In eight independent experiments, Ishikawa cells in monolayer received with 30 ug/ml progestin and were grown in RPMI-1640 medium (Sigma, Sty. Louis) with 10% dialyzed foetal calf serum (PAA-laboratories, Austria) without phenol red and antibiotics. Cells were seeded at a density of 1 x 105 cells/ml in 25 cm2 culture flasks in a humidified atmosphere (5% CO2) at 37°C for 4 hours. Cells not treated with progestin served as control groups. Total RNA extraction was performed using TRIZOL Reagent (GIBCO BRL Life Technologies, New York, NY). Labeling and hybridization: Total RNA was reverse transcribed and labeled with Cy3- and Cy5- attached dendrimer, respectively, using the Genisphere 3DNA 350HS kit (Genisphere, Montvale, NJ) as described in the manufacturer's protocol. Hybridizations of transcribed probes were carried out in a TECAN HS4800 instrument using the formamide-based hybridization buffer from Genisphere containing 5% dextrane sulfate and 5.5 ng/ul COT1 DNA (GIBCO BRL Life technologies) at 37º for 23 hours. 3DNA dendrimer hybridizations were carried out in formamide-based hybridization buffer alone. Post-hybridization washes were carried out at room temperature with 2xSSC for 1 min, 0.2% SDS /2xSSC for 1 min and finally with 0.2xSSC for 30 sec. Sixteen hybridizations including dye-swap have been performed for eight independent experiments. Scanning, image analysis and data processing: The arrays were scanned with the GenePix 4000B scanner (Axon Instruments Inc). The features were extracted from the arrays using GenePix Pro 6.0 (Axon instruments Inc., Union City, CA). All subsequent statistical analyses were performed using the statistical package R (R Development Core Team). Spots that displayed a signal-to-noise ratio of less than 2, or that were significantly saturated (more than 20 % saturation among foreground pixels) were filtered out. The median was used as the averaging measure of the foreground pixels. After quality control, genes that were present in less than 50 % of the arrays were filtered out. The arrays were normalized using dye-swap normalization. One array, whose dye swap twin failed was normalized using the lowess method. Statistical significance was assigned to the genes using the SAM methodology. The bioconductor SAMR package was used in the actual analysis. Missing expression levels were imputed using 10 nearest neighbour's imputation. The local FDR threshold was set to 25 %. Keywords: Progestin treatment, Control-treatment
