Methods for RNA extraction, cDNA preparation and analysis of CFTR transcripts.

چکیده
The scope of this article is to outline some of the basic methods for good quality RNA preparation from mammalian tissues and cells (including epithelial cells). Additionally, we give an outline of common techniques of measuring CFTR gene expression such as quantitative and semi-quantitative reverse transcription (RT) PCR and ribonuclease protection assay (RPA). These methods are designed to detect low abundance transcripts, which apply to CFTR mRNA in most cell types and tissues.

SNHG6 203 and SNHG6 201 Transcripts Can be Used as Contributory Factors for a Well-Timed Prognosis and Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
Background:Long non-coding RNAs, as a big part of non-coding RNAs, are considered functionally more than past. These transcripts could be involved in carcinogenesis. SNHG6, as a long non-coding RNA, has been reported to be expressed more in colorectal cancer tissues than non-cancerous ones. Colorectal cancer as a malignancy needs fast prognostic and diagnostic methods for well...
متن کاملAnalysis of CFTR Gene Mutations in Children with Cystic Fibrosis, First Report from North-East of Iran
Objective(s): More than 1500 registered mutations in cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene are responsible for dysfunction of an ion channel protein and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). This study was performed to investigate the frequency of a number of well-known CFTR mutations in North Eastern Iranian CF patients. Material and...
متن کاملOptimization of Real Time PCR for Precise Measurement of HER2 Overexpression in Breast Cancer Specimens
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies among women in various countries. HER2 overexpression, which is due to different reasons, occurs in 20-30% of breast cancers. HER2 gene encodes an 185kDa transmembrane glycoprotein with 1255 amino acids. This active product triggers downstream intracellular signaling pathways inducing cell proliferation and cell survival. These...
متن کاملIsolation of high-quality RNA from a wide range of woody plants
Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four ...
متن کاملThe challenge of getting a high quality of RNA from oocyte for gene expression study
The extraction of intact RNA from oocyte is quite challenging and time-consuming. A standard protocol using commercial RNA extraction kit, yields a low quantity of RNA in oocytes. In the past, several attempts in getting RNA for gene expression study ended up with a few different modified methods. Extraction of high-quality RNA from oocyte is important before further downstream analyses such as...
