Comparison of relative mRNA quantification models and the impact of RNA integrity in quantitative real-time RT-PCR

Relative quantification in quantitative real-time RT-PCR is increasingly used to quantify gene expression changes. In general, two different relative mRNA quantification models exist: the delta-delta Ct and the efficiency-corrected Ct model. Both models have their advantages and disadvantages in terms of simplification on the one hand and efficiency correction on the other. The particular problem of RNA integrity and its effect on relative quantification in qRT-PCR performance was tested in different bovine tissues and cell lines (n = 11). Therefore different artificial and standardized RNA degradation levels were used. Currently fully automated capillary electrophoresis systems have become the new standard in RNA quality assessment. RNA quality was rated according the RNA integrity number (RIN). Furthermore, the effect of different length of amplified products and RNA integrity on expression analyses was investigated. We found significant impact of RNA integrity on relative expression results, mainly on cycle threshold (Ct) values and a minor effect on PCR efficiency. To minimize the interference of RNA integrity on relative quantification models, we can recommend to normalize gene expression by an internal reference gene and to perform an efficiency correction. Results demonstrate that innovative new quantification methods and normalization models can improve future mRNA quantification.     

RNA preservation of Antarctic marine invertebrates

Fifteen species of marine invertebrate commonly occurring in the near-shore environment of Rothera base, Antarctica, were used to test tissue sample storage protocols with regard to preservation of RNA integrity. After animal collection, the tissues were either immediately extracted for RNA or stored at −80°C after having been, either directly flash frozen in liquid nitrogen or preserved in a commercial RNA storage solution, for extraction in the UK. In four cases, direct flash freezing produced enhanced RNA integrity compared with samples in the commercial storage solution. A subset of samples were further tested for the preferred temperature of storage in the commercial reagent. RNA integrity was well preserved at both +4 and −20°C over periods of 2 months, but degradation was rapid in tissues stored at room temperature. Eight out of the fifteen species only produced a single ribosomal band on gel electrophoresis. This survey provides a guide for tissue transport of Polar cold water marine invertebrates.     

Successful retrieval of mRNA from hair follicles stored at room temperature: implications for studying gene expression in wild mammals

We evaluated some products and protocols designed for reliable RNA extraction from minute tissue samples and safe tissue storage at room temperature without RNA degradation. Success of RNA retrieval was compared for varying amounts of tissue (3, 5, 10 hair follicles), stored at different temperatures (room temperature, ?20 °C) for variable durations (1, 3, 6, 12 weeks). We also compared two RNA isolation kits specialized for small samples. RNA was successfully retrieved from as few as 3 hairs stored at room temperature for up to 6 weeks, suggesting the potential for gene expression analyses on minimally invasive samples from natural populations.     

Preservation of nucleic acid integrity in guanidine thiocyanate lysates of whole blood

High-molecular-mass RNA and DNA have been shown to retain their integrity for three days at room temperature, no less than two weeks at +4°C, and more than a year at ?20°C when whole blood samples are stored as lysates containing 4 M guanidine thiocyanate. Storage time at room temperature can be prolonged at least up to 14 days if nucleic acids were precipitated by two volumes of isopropanol. This preservation technique allows storage and transportation of samples at ambient temperature and is completely compatible with the procedure of subsequent isolation of nucleic acids.     

Brain banks: benefits,limitations and cautions concerning the use of post-mortem brain tissue for molecular studies

Brain banks are facilities providing an interface between generous donation of nervous tissues and research laboratories devoted to increase our understanding of the diseases of the nervous system, discover new diagnostic targets, and develop new strategies. Considering this crucial role, it is important to learn about the suitabilities, limitations and proper handling of individual brain samples for particular studies. Several factors may interfere with preservation of DNA, RNA, proteins and lipids, and, therefore, special care must be taken first to detect sub-optimally preserved tissues and second to provide adequate material for each specific purpose. Basic aspects related with DNA, RNA and protein preservation include agonal state, post-mortem delay, temperature of storage and procedures of tissue preservation. Examination of DNA and RNA preservation is best done by using bioanalyzer technologies instead of less sensitive methods such as agarose gels. Adequate RNA preservation is mandatory in RNA microarray studies and adequate controls are necessary for proper PCR validation. Like for RNA, the preservation of proteins is not homogeneous since some molecules are more vulnerable than others. This aspect is crucial in the study of proteins including expression levels and possible post-translational modifications. Similarly, the reliability of functional and enzymatic studies in human post-mortem brain largely depends on protein preservation. Much less is known about other aspects, such as the effects of putative deleterious factors on epigenetic events such as methylation of CpGs in gene promoters, nucleosome preservation, histone modifications, and conservation of microRNA species. Most brains are appropriate for morphological approaches but not all brains are useful for certain biochemical and molecular studies.
