Evaluation of methods for amplification of picogram amounts of total RNA for whole genome expression profiling

ABSTRACT: For more than a decade, microarrays have been a powerful and widely used tool to explore the transcriptome of biological systems. However, the amount of biological material from cell sorting or laser capture microdissection is much too small to perform microarray studies. To address this issue, RNA amplification methods have been developed to generate sufficient targets from picogram amounts of total RNA to perform microarray hybridisation. In this study, four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. The quantitative and qualitative performances of the methods were assessed. Microarrays were hybridised with the amplified targets and the amplification protocols were compared with respect to the quality of expression profiles, reproducibility within a concentration range of input RNA, and sensitivity.

To address this issue, RNA amplification methods have been developed to generate sufficient targets from picogram amounts of total RNA to perform microarray hybridisation.

Microarrays were hybridised with the amplified targets and the amplification protocols were compared with respect to the quality of expression profiles, reproducibility within a concentration range of input RNA, and sensitivity. Four commercial protocols for amplification of picograms amounts of input RNA for microarray expression profiling were evaluated and compared. For each protocol, one RNA amplification was performed from 250 pg, and one from 500 pg of human universal RNA by two operators in two independent laboratories and compared to the amplified aRNA obtained from 2 µg and 100 ng RNA inputs following the standard protocol proposed by Affymetrix. A negative control (amplification without total RNA) and a positive control (if available) were included in each experimental batch. Samples indicating 50, 100, and 1000 pg RNA inputs correspond to 3 additional quantities of total RNA used to synthesise the cDNA target using the nugen protocol for comparison (250, 500 pg + 50, 100, 1000 pg).

Single-tube Linear DNA amplification (LinDA) for robust ChIP-seq

Project description:Genome-wide profiling of transcription factors based on massive parallel sequencing of immunoprecipitated chromatin (ChIP-seq) requires nanogram amounts of DNA. Here we describe a high-fidelity, single-tube linear DNA amplification method (LinDA) for ChIP-seq and reChIP-seq with picogram DNA amounts obtained from a few thousand cells. This amplification technology will facilitate global analyses of transcription-factor binding and chromatin with very small cell populations, such as stem or cancer-initiating cells.

RNA m6A methylome from zebrafish zygotes, mouse liver polyA-selected RNAs, mouse embryonic stem cells, spike-in RNA controls, and single mouse oocytes and embryos

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a prevalent RNA modification that has key roles in distinct biological processes, including meiosis and early embryo development. Despite advances in methodology for m6A mapping, the applicability of current methods is limited by the need for large amounts of input material. We develop a sensitive picogram scale m6A RNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing (picoMeRIP-seq) method, also suitable for single-cell (scMeRIP-seq). We validate the down-scaling of the method by profiling m6A from picogram amounts of mouse liver polyA-selected RNA, mouse embryonic stem cells, and zebrafish zygotes. We provide proof-of-principle of m6A profiling in single mouse oocytes and preimplantation embryos. Our work opens a new avenue for studying m6A in single cells and scarce cell types in a transcriptome-wide manner.

Comparison of RNA Amplification Techniques meeting the demands for the Expression Profiling of Clinical Cancer Samples

Project description:For microarray experiments starting with nanogram amounts of RNA it is essential to implement reproducible and powerful RNA amplification techniques. Available methods were mainly tested for reproducibility, only a few studies concentrated on potential amplification bias. We evaluated three amplification protocols, which are less time-consuming than the commonly used T7-RNA polymerase based in vitro transcription protocols and therefore may be more suitable for clinical use: Template Switching (TS)-PCR (SMART-PCR Kit, BD), Ribo-SPIA (single primer isothermal amplification, Oviation, Nugen) and a random primer-based PCR. Additionally a more sensitive labeling method, Dendrimer-labeling (Genisphere), was evaluated. All methods were compared to unamplified RNA labelled at reverse transcription. Hybridizations were carried out on a targeted two-colour oligonucleotide microarray. From our results we conclude that RNA amplification with TS-PCR is highly reproducible and results in a reliable representation of the starting RNA population. We then assessed whether RNA amplification of clinical breast and thyroid cancer samples with TS-PCR showed robust performance when altered cycle numbers or partially degraded RNA were used. According to our experiments TS-PCR proved to be a very reliable method for global RNA amplification, even when starting from partially degraded RNA down to a RNA Integrity Number (RIN) of 4.3.

Effect of the amount of input total RNA on T7 amplification

Project description:Zhao et al. Amplification Table 9 This experiment was designed to evaluate the effect of the amount of input total RNA on the fidelity, reproducibility, and yield of T7 based RNA linear amplification. BC2 total RNA was amplified using the Jeffrey lab protocol. Different amounts of T7 primer were used according to the quantity of input total RNA. Multiple amplifications were done for each quantity of input total RNA to minimize experimental variations. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. Keywords: Logical Set

Meso-Seq for in-depth transcriptomics in ultra-low amounts of FACS-purified neuronal nuclei

Project description:Profiling of gene expression in sparse populations of genetically defined neurons is essential for dissecting the molecular mechanisms that control the development and plasticity of neural circuits. However, current transcriptomic approaches are ill suited for detailed mechanistic studies in sparse neuronal populations, as they either are technically complex and relatively expensive (e.g., single-cell RNA sequencing [RNA-seq]) or require large amounts of input material (e.g., traditional bulk RNA-seq).

Comprehensive analysis of RNA-seq kits for standard, low and ultra-low quantity samples

Project description:High-throughput RNA-sequencing has now become the gold standard method for whole-transcriptome gene expression analysis. It is widely used in a number of applications studying various transcriptomes of cells and tissues. It is also being increasingly considered for a number of clinical applications, including expression profiling for diagnostics or alternative transcripts detection. However, RNA sequencing can be challenging in some situations, for instance due to low input quantities or degraded RNA samples. Several protocols have been proposed to overcome some of these challenges, and many are available as commercial kits. Here we perform a comprehensive testing of three recent commercial technologies for RNA-seq library preparation (Truseq, Smarter and Smarter Ultra-Low) on human reference tissue preparations, for standard (1ug), low (100 and 10 ng) and ultra-low (< 1 ng) input quantities, and for mRNA and total RNA, stranded or unstranded. We analyze the results using read quality and alignments metrics, gene detection and differential gene expression metrics. Overall, we show that the Truseq kit performs well at 100 ng input quantity, while the Smarter kit shows degraded performances for 100 and 10 ng input quantities, and that the Smarter Ultra-Low kit performs quite well for input quantities < 1 ng. All the results are discussed in details, and we provide guidelines for the selection of a RNA-seq library preparation kits by biologists.

Optimized adapter:DNA ratios for efficient ChIP-seq library preparation from low input samples

Project description:The goal of this study was to titrate the amount of adapters for picogram amounts of ChIP DNA to determine the optimal conditions for library generation. H3K4me3 ChIP DNA from human Raji cells was diluted to the indicated amount and sequencing libraries generated using a range of adapter concentrations. The optimal adapter:DNA ratios were sequenced in technical duplicate to determine the reproducibility at each starting ChIP DNA amount. Additionally, for two samples we altered the number of cycles during the PCR amplification to determine the effect of PCR on library complexity and read duplicates.
