Analysis of connective tissues by laser capture microdissection and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction.
Studies of gene expression from bone, cartilage, and other tissues are complicated by the fact that their RNA, collected and pooled for analysis, often represents a wide variety of composite cells distinct in individual phenotype, age, and state of maturation. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a technique that allows specific cells to be isolated according to their phenotype, condition, or...
متن کاملDetection of spinal muscular atrophy carriers by nested polymerase chain reaction of single sperm cells.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder with a carrier frequency of approximately 1 in 40. Approximately 95% of patients have homozygous deletions of exon 7 and/or 8 of the SMN1 gene. Carrier testing for SMA is relatively complex and requires quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of genomic DNA to determine SMN1 copy number. The purpose of this study was to asses...
متن کاملAnalysis of chemokine gene expression in lung cells by polymerase chain reaction.
The article describes a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based method for semiquantitative assessment of mRNA expression for chemotactic cytokines in the lower respiratory tract cells. Cytokine mRNA was detected using PCR preceded by reverse transcription of mRNA into cDNA. The procedures of RNA extraction and of reverse transcription-PCR assay are described in the first part of the article. The...
متن کاملLaser Capture Microdissection of Enriched Populations of Neurons or Single Neurons for Gene Expression Analysis After Traumatic Brain Injury
Long-term cognitive disability after TBI is associated with injury-induced neurodegeneration in the hippocampus-a region in the medial temporal lobe that is critical for learning, memory and executive function. Hence our studies focus on gene expression analysis of specific neuronal populations in distinct subregions of the hippocampus. The technique of laser capture microdissection (LCM), intr...
متن کاملAge-related gene expression analysis in enteric ganglia of human colon after laser microdissection
The enteric nervous system (ENS) poses the intrinsic innervation of the gastrointestinal tract and plays a critical role for all stages of postnatal life. There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in acquired or age-related gastrointestinal dysfunctions that can be manifested in diseases such as gut constipation or fecal incontinence. In this study, we sought to analyze age-dependent...
