Cytoplasmic RNA extraction from fresh and frozen mammalian tissues

The quality of collections of expressed sequence tags andfull-length cDNAs is adversely affected by the presence of "junk" clones derivedfrom unspliced or partially spliced RNAs present in conventional total RNA preparations. One can overcome this problem by using intact cytoplasmic RNA to create cDNA libraries, but the methods in the literature that describe the preparation of RNA only work well for extracting cultured cells. Cell lines are not as diverse as one would like, and to clone comprehensive sets of human and model organism full-length cDNAs, libraries have to be prepared from tissue samples. Thus, we have developed a robust and inexpensive method that allows intact cytoplasmic RNA to be extracted from both fresh and frozen mammalian tissues. A mouse full-length, cap-trapped cDNA library prepared with RNA using this new procedure had excellent characteristics.     

Detection of mRNA degradation intermediates in tissues using the 3'-end poly(A)-tailing polymerase chain reaction method

It has become increasingly clear that mRNA stability is an important determinant of mRNA abundance in virtually all organisms. Although our understanding of prokaryotic lower eukaryotic mRNA stability mechanisms has progressed considerably, little is known about mammalian mRNA stability mechanisms, particularly at the tissue and animal levels. This is due largely to the lack of suitable methods to approach the problem. In this study, we have developed and refined the 3'-end poly(A)-tailing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method to detect degradation intermediates in vivo. Using an in vitro transcribed RNA as a template, we found that the method could be used to detect a homogeneous pool of RNA down to 0.1 ng. The addition of 10 microg of total RNA from tissues decreased the sensitivity limit to 4 ng. Detection limits of the technique were determined precisely by varying the concentrations of in vitro transcribed RNA in a constant amount of total RNA and varying the concentration of total RNA while maintaining a constant amount of in vitro transcribed RNA. Our overall results showed that the poly(A)-tailing PCR method could be used to detect specific RNA species of approximately 1000 nt in a pool of heterogeneous RNA in the range of 1 in 2500 to 1 in 10,000. To our knowledge, this is the most sensitive method to date for identifying mRNA degradation intermediates. Employing sense strand gene-specific primers in this method, we have discovered the class II and class III P-glycoprotein (Pgp) mRNA degradation intermediates in normal rat tissues. This method should serve as an additional tool to help us understand mRNA decay mechanisms in tissues and at animal levels.     

A rapid and efficient method for purifying high quality total RNA from peaches (Prunus persica) for functional genomics analyses

Prunus persica has been proposed as a genomic model for deciduous trees and the Rosaceae family. Optimized protocols for RNA isolation are necessary to further advance studies in this model species such that functional genomics analyses may be performed. Here we present an optimized protocol to rapidly and efficiently purify high quality total RNA from peach fruits (Prunus persica). Isolating high-quality RNA from fruit tissue is often difficult due to large quantities of polysaccharides and polyphenolic compounds that accumulate in this tissue and co-purify with the RNA. Here we demonstrate that a modified version of the method used to isolate RNA from pine trees and the woody plant Cinnamomun tenuipilum is ideal for isolating high quality RNA from the fruits of Prunus persica. This RNA may be used for many functional genomic based experiments such as RT-PCR and the construction of large-insert cDNA libraries.     

A simple procedure for the isolation of high quality RNA from ripening banana fruit

Isolation of high quality RNA from ripening banana fruit tissue is difficult due to high levels of polysaccharides and other substances that interfere when using conventional procedures for RNA isolation. These substances not only decrease the yield but the quality of RNA is almost unusable. We describe here a simple RNA procedure that effectively removes these contaminating substances without affecting the yield. Following this procedure, we routinely obtained 80–150 μg of total RNA per g fresh tissue. The RNA is of good quality and suitable for northern analysis, RT-PCR and cDNA library construction.

Characterization of transforming growth factors beta1 and 2 in ferrets (Mustela putorius furo)

Unwanted scar tissue after surgical procedures remains a central problem in medicine. Nowhere is this problem more evident than within the pediatric airway, where excess scarring, termed subglottic stenosis, can compromise breathing. Recent advances in molecular biology have focused on ways to decrease scar formation through understanding of the wound repair process. Transforming growth factor beta (TFGbeta) plays a central role in this pathway. Ferrets serve as an ideal model for the pediatric airway, and reproduction of subglottic stenosis in ferrets is possible. However, ferret cytokine profiles have not been established. In this study, we characterized the presence and nucleotide sequence of the TGFbeta1 and 2 genes in ferrets by using total RNA isolated from airways. Amino acid sequence homology between human and ferret was determined to be 96.6% for TGFbeta1 and 99.3% for TGFbeta2. Given the nearly total homology between TGFbetas of ferret and human origin, the ferret may serve as an ideal model for future molecular studies.
