We have developed a procedure for isolation of microRNA and genomic DNA in addition to total RNA from whole blood stabilized in PAXgene Blood RNA tubes. The procedure is based on automatic extraction on a BioRobot MDx and includes isolation of DNA from a fraction of the stabilized blood and recovery of small RNA species that are otherwise lost. The procedure presented here is suitable for large-scale experiments and is amenable to further automation. Procured total RNA and DNA was tested using Affymetrix Expression and single-nucleotide polymorphism GeneChips, respectively, and isolated microRNA was tested using spotted locked nucleic acid-based microarrays. We conclude that the yield and quality of total RNA, microRNA, and DNA from a single PAXgene blood RNA tube is sufficient for downstream microarray analysis.
我们开发了一种从保存在PAXgene Blood RNA管中的全血中分离微小RNA、基因组DNA以及总RNA的方法。该方法基于在BioRobot MDx上的自动提取,包括从一部分稳定化血液中分离DNA以及回收否则会丢失的小RNA种类。这里介绍的方法适用于大规模实验,并且易于进一步自动化。所获得的总RNA和DNA分别使用Affymetrix Expression和单核苷酸多态性基因芯片进行检测,分离出的微小RNA使用基于锁核酸的点阵微阵列进行检测。我们得出结论,来自单个PAXgene血液RNA管的总RNA、微小RNA和DNA的产量和质量足以用于下游微阵列分析。
