PBMC LNA-array microRNA profiling
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: T cells were collected from four healthy donors using heparin anti-coagulant, diluted with equal amounts of PBS EDTA, then layered over Lymphoprep and spun to collect PBMCs. CD4+ T cells were purifed using the Miltenyi positive selection magnetic labeling kit. Cells were resuspended in RPMI (Invitrogen) with 10% FCS amd 50 U/ml IL-2 (Immunotools), and 3.5x105 plated out per well in 48 well plates, coated overnight with 2 µg/ml anti-CD3 and either anti-CD28 or anti-CD46. Purity was assessed by flow cytometry and was in all cases ⥠95%. RNA was purified from a set of unactivated cells before plating, to represent the resting, 0 hr time point samples. For early activation samples, CD28 or CD46 co-stimulated cells were harvested 2 hrs after plating. Then, 36 hours after plating, the remaining CD46-stimulated cells were harvested and labeled for IL-10 or IFN-g secretion using the Miltenyi cytokine detection kits, according to manufacturerâs instructions. Cells were then sorted into separate cytokine-secreting populations (IFN-g+/IL-10â, IFN-g+/IL-10+, and IFN-gâ/IL-10+) using a BD biosciences FACS machine.RNA from separate populations was labeled using the Hy3 microRNA (miRNA) Power labeling kit (Exiqon) and hybridised to an LNA (locked nucleic acid)-based miRCURY miRNA microarray slides (Exiqon, version 11) using a Maui hybridisation chamber (BioMicrosystems). Spot signals were acquired with an Agilent array scanner and GenePix Pro 4.1 was used for annotation (mirBase 14.0), signal processing and quantification using default background subtraction.
