Project description:In our original grant we proposed to use the NR3B-null mouse model to study the role of NR3B subunit in motor neuron function. We have now successfully generated NR3B null mice. Interestingly, NR3B-null mice invariably die at age P4-P8. Our preliminary examination indicates that the motor strength of these mice is severely impaired prior to death. As we continue to explore the cause of death in NR3B null mice, we propose to conduct gene profiling experiments to search for transcription changes in the brain related to ablation of the NR3B gene. We have previously used the UCLA array facility provided by the NINDS/NIMH Microarray Consortium to identify genes that show abnormal expression patterns in these mice using whole brain samples. Now, we would like to use the same approach to analyze pure motor neuron samples obtained by Laser Capture Microdisection (LCM). As these samples are of small size we need to use RNA amplification method. We would like to compare probes from two amplification methods to see which one gives the best result. We will collect the cDNA probe obtained by RNA-based single primer isothermal amplification developed by Nugen, Inc. and the aRNA probe obtained from T7-based RNA amplification. Both the hybridization intensity and the percentage of the present call of these two types of probe will be analyzed. The cDNA probe obtained by RNA-based single primer isothermal amplification developed by Nugen, Inc. may have some advantage over the aRNA probe obtained from T7-based RNA amplification. Two samples will be processed by either RNA-based single primer isothermal amplification developed by Nugen or T7-based RNA amplification to obtain cDNA or aRNA probes, respectively. For each sample we will use 600 motor neurons obtained by LCM. Both types of probe will be labeled by biotin and hybridize to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array. Data analysis will be performed by array facility.

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.

As we continue to explore the cause of death in NR3B null mice, we propose to conduct gene profiling experiments to search for transcription changes in the brain related to ablation of the NR3B gene. We have used the facility provided by the NINDS/NIMH Microarray Consortium to identify genes that show abnormal expression patterns in these mice. We would like to compare these changes with that opccured in SOD1 mice, a mouse model of motor neuron diseases. Analysis of these genes will help to identify changes in networks and pathways that may cause the death of NR3B-null mice. These studies will further help to elucidate the functional role of NR3B in motor neurons. We will compare samples from motor neurons of wild type and SOD1 mice to identify genes that show abnormal expression patterns, which may be implicated in the death of SOD1 mice and shared with the same changes in NR3B-null mice. We hypothesize that genes with their transcription level changing significantly by ablation of NR3B will be associated with the molecular mechanism underlying the death of motor neurons in NR3B null mice. As NR3B is expressed primarily in the motor neurons of hindbrain and spinal cord, we have first collected and analyzed the spinal cord samples from NR3B null mice and wild-type controls in P4, an age of disease onset. We like to compare motor neuron smaples from SOD1 mice at the age around the disease onset. Total RNA from total 6 samples will be purified from ~200 motor neurons obtained by Laser Capture Microdissection. Extracted RNAs will be subjected to two rounds of amplification and the obtained cRNA will be biotinylated. The purified cRNA will be sent to the NINDS/NIMH Microarray Consortium be used to hybridize the GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array. The hybridization, scanning, and initial data analysis of these GeneChips will be conducted by the Consortium staff. We will analyze the collected data further after data collection. We will first identify genes that show significant changes between wild-type and SOD1 mice and then compare that with the result from NR3B null mice. Keywords: other

Project description:Assessment of transcriptome stability in Paxgene collected whole blood and representation of hematopoietic lineages of whole blood transcriptome using single primer isothermal amplification probes without globin reduction protocols. As well as the stability assessment of Paxgene collected samples we investigated whether expression profiling of whole blood RNA (without globin reduction procedures) using the NuGEN single-primer isothermal amplification methods (which generate single stranded cDNA) allows faithful representation of individual lineages. ie. are we losing a lot of information by looking at whole blood rather than PBMCs or individual lineages. These 7 cell lineages were not stored in Paxgene tubes and are only for the purpose of querying the data generated from the Paxgene/sscDNA dataset (12 samples) in order to determine the representation of individual lineage transcriptomes in that dataset.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE3557: Effect of the amount of input total RNA on T7 amplification GSE3558: Effect of in vitro transcription time on the fidelity of T7-based RNA linear amplification GSE3559: Variation in cDNA microarray analysis of gene expression using unamplified poly(A)+ RNA GSE3560: Effects of template switching (TS) primer and cDNA cleanup columns on T7 based RNA linear amplification GSE3561: Effect of ligase on T7 based RNA linear amplification GSE3562: Effect of column cleanup on T7 based RNA linear amplification GSE3563: Correlation between expression levels of different tumors measured by poly(A)+RNA and aRNA Abstract: BACKGROUND: T7 based linear amplification of RNA is used to obtain sufficient antisense RNA for microarray expression profiling. We optimized and systematically evaluated the fidelity and reproducibility of different amplification protocols using total RNA obtained from primary human breast carcinomas and high-density cDNA microarrays. RESULTS: Using an optimized protocol, the average correlation coefficient of gene expression of 11,123 cDNA clones between amplified and unamplified samples is 0.82 (0.85 when a virtual array was created using repeatedly amplified samples to minimize experimental variation). Less than 4% of genes show changes in expression level by 2-fold or greater after amplification compared to unamplified samples. Most changes due to amplification are not systematic both within one tumor sample and between different tumors. Amplification appears to dampen the variation of gene expression for some genes when compared to unamplified poly(A)+ RNA. The reproducibility between repeatedly amplified samples is 0.97 when performed on the same day, but drops to 0.90 when performed weeks apart. The fidelity and reproducibility of amplification is not affected by decreasing the amount of input total RNA in the 0.3-3 micrograms range. Adding template-switching primer, DNA ligase, or column purification of double-stranded cDNA does not improve the fidelity of amplification. The correlation coefficient between amplified and unamplified samples is higher when total RNA is used as template for both experimental and reference RNA amplification. CONCLUSION: T7 based linear amplification reproducibly generates amplified RNA that closely approximates original sample for gene expression profiling using cDNA microarrays.
