Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in many different cellular, developmental, and physiological processes. Accordingly, numerous methods have been established to identify and quantify miRNAs. The shortness of miRNA sequence results in a high dynamic range of melting temperatures and, moreover, impedes a proper selection of detection probes or optimized PCR primers. While miRNA microarrays allow for massive parallel and accurate relative measurement of all known miRNAs, they have so far been less useful as an assay for absolute quantification. Here, we present a microarray based approach for global and absolute quantification of miRNAs. The method relies on an equimolar pool of about 1000 synthetic miRNAs of known concentration which is used as an universal reference and labeled and hybridized in a dual colour approach on the same array as the sample of interest. Each single miRNA is quantified with respect to the universal reference outbalancing bias related to sequence, labeling, hybridization or signal detection method. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method by various spike in experiments. Further, we quantified miRNA copy numbers in liver samples and CD34(+)CD133(-) hematopoietic stem cells. We analyzed to which extend the universal reference can be used as a tool for the relative quantification of miRNAs across multiple experiments. We compared the results of direct hybridizations i.e. sample vs. sample to those of indirect hybridizations i.e. sample vs. UR. For the direct hybridizations, we hybridized 5µg liver total RNA vs 5 µg brain total RNA (n = 3) and for the indirect hybridization 5 µg liver or brain total RNA vs UR (5 fmol/miRNA) (n = 3). We calculated the so-called re-ratios for the UR experiments by dividing the signal ratios of the liver vs. UR array by the respective brain vs. UR array gaining a liver vs. brain re-ratio. Each RNA sample was mixed with 5 fmol of each of 18 RNA oligonucleotides reverse complement to miRControl 3 probes and subsequently fluorescently labelled. The RNA mix was hybridized in a dual colour approach to microarrays. The mean ratios of all probes were normalized to the median of the ratios detected for the spiked 18 synthetic RNA oligonucleotides reverse complement to miRControl 3 probes.

We demonstrate the accuracy of the method by various spike in experiments. Further, we quantified miRNA copy numbers in liver samples and CD34(+)CD133(-) hematopoietic stem cells. Total liver RNA was mixed with 2.5 fmol of each of 18 RNA oligonucleotides reverse complement to miRControl 3 probes and subsequently fluorescently labelled by 3â ligation. Total RNA mix was hybridized in a dual colour approach to microarrays versus a second labelled synthetic miRNA pool (n = 6). The synthetic miRNA pool consisted of 2.5 fmol of each of 891 non redundant miRNAs sequences and miRControl 3 sequences. The array data was normalized by calculating the median of the miRControl 3 present in the liver and UR sample. The miRNA amount was calculated with respect to the corresponding miRNA in the UR.

Project description:Recently, next-generation sequencing has been introduced as a promising, new platform for assessing the copy number of transcripts, while the existing microarray technology is considered less reliable for absolute, quantitative expression measurements. Nonetheless, so far, results from the two technologies have only been compared based on biological data, leading to the conclusion that, although they are somewhat correlated, expression values differ significantly. Here, we use synthetic RNA samples, resembling human microRNA samples, to find that microarray expression measures actually correlate better with sample RNA content than expression measures obtained from sequencing data. In addition, microarrays appear highly sensitive and perform equivalently to next-generation sequencing in terms of reproducibility and relative ratio quantification.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance (AR) is one of the greatest threats to global health and is associated with higher treatment costs, longer hospital stays, and increased mortality. Current gold standard antibiotic susceptibility tests (AST) are dependent on organism growth rates resulting in prolonged diagnostic answers for slow growing organisms. Changes in the cellular transcriptome can be instantaneous in the presence of stressors such as antibiotic pressure. Here, we demonstrate that relative quantification of the recA gene in response to breakpoint concentrations of ciprofloxacin is an indicator of pathogen susceptibly. For this purpose, we developed seven duplex RT-qPCR assays targeting the recA and 16S rRNA gene, as response and housekeeping genes respectively, for biothreat and ESKAPE pathogens. Surrogate biothreat agents Y. pestis and B. anthracis saw increases in relative recA gene expression, independent of growth rate after 15 minutes of exposure to ciprofloxacin with maximal expression seen after 60 minutes. Treatment with doxycycline also demonstrated an increase in relative recA fold changes compared to no treatment controls. Final evaluation of all seven duplex assays tested across 125 strains, including Tier 1 pathogens, from broth culture demonstrated an overall categorical agreement compared to gold standard microbroth dilution of 97.56% with major error (ME) rates of 1.59% and very major error (VME) rates of 3.23%. Testing on pathogen strains commonly associated with urinary tract infections in contrived clinical sample sets demonstrated an overall categorical agreement of 95.8% with a ME rate of 0.0% and VME rate of 7.69%. These data indicate that relative quantification of a single highly conserved gene accurately predicts susceptibility for multiple bacterial species in response to ciprofloxacin.

Project description:We investigated the expression profiles of plasma miRNAs in immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) patients. Peripheral blood plasma was used for Agilent miRNA expression microarray analysis to define miRNA profiles and to identify miRNAs with discriminatory levels for ITP and healthy controls. Results were further validated using quantitative realtime PCR on a larger cohort, enabling relative quantification of plasma miRNAs and defining miRNAs with diagnostic value for the disease.
