give 0, 100, 300, or 1,000 cells per tube followed by
RNA purification using the GenElute Mammalian Total RNA
Isolation Kit. Duplicate 10 µl samples (20%) of each
preparation were treated with Amplification
Grade DNase I. One of each pair was reverse
transcribed with Enhanced
Avian Reverse Transcriptase (+ lanes). The other
was incubated under the same conditions, but without the
reverse transcriptase (- lanes). PCR was performed with
2 µl (10%) from each reaction, GAPDH primers, and Taq
DNA Polymerase. One-fifth of each PCR product
was fractionated on a 1.5% agarose gel, and photographed
after staining for 30 minutes with SybrGreen
I. RT-PCR products are clearly visible for all
reactions with reverse transcriptase added (+ lanes),
except those with no cells (Lane 0). No PCR products are
visible for reactions without reverse transcriptase
added (- lanes), demonstrating that RT-PCR products with
reverse transcriptase are from RNA and not from
residual, contaminating DNA.

| Spectrum™
Plant Total RNA Kit
|
|
|
| The total RNA purification method for difficult plant tissues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Few methods are capable of delivering desired amounts of total RNA from plant tissues that contain high levels of secondary metabolites. The Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit was designed to be different. Incorporating a new, patent-pending lysis and binding chemistry, this kit is intended to purify total RNA from species and tissue where most protocols fail. Without sacrificing affordability, you can purify more total RNA from difficult tissue samples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
| The Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit employs a new lysis and binding chemistry and a convenient column-based 'bind-wash-and-elute' format to purify up to 100 µg of total RNA from 100 mg of tissue in about 30 minutes. Typical yields range from 20 — 60 µg. After grinding tissue to a fine powder in liquid nitrogen, cells are lysed and cellular debris is physically and chemically separated from endogenous RNA. RNA is then bound to a column supported silica substrate and several wash steps remove remaining contaminants. Lastly, total RNA is eluted from the column and used in typical applications, such as Northern Blots, and RT- and qRT-PCR. The Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit contains all the reagents, buffers and solutions necessary to perform the method as described.

Information
The Spectrum™ Plant Total RNA Kits are available in 3
different sizes. Each kit contains all reagents and
components sufficient for the number of total RNA
purifications indicated.
|
|
| *each
preps from up to 100 mg of
tissue
|
While the Spectrum Plant Total RNA Kit removes nearly
all genomic DNA during the purification protocol, trace
amounts may remain in certain preparations. Due to the
sensitivity of PCR, trace amounts are still capable of
providing sufficient template for Taq
amplification.
A common approach to prevention is the use of DNase I
to digest any genomic DNA that may be present. Sigma
offer's this enzyme in two formats; one intended for use
while the RNA is bound to the purification column and
one intended for use in solution, after the RNA has been
eluted. In general terms, on-column DNase digestion is
faster and more convenient, while DNase digestion in
solution is absolute. The decision of stringency
required vs. preferred format should be based on
experimental goals .
It is worth mentioning that another mechanism used to
prevent possible amplification of genomic DNA involves
primer design (there are many good web references on
this subject). One practice widely recommended is
primers designed (at least one of a pair) to span exon/exon junctions.

Superior sensitivity
for siRNA knockdown
Figure 1. Target vs. dCT for SpyLine vs.
Supplier Q. The figure above is a comparison of the
change in Ct from the siRNA knockdown cells to the
Non-Targeting siRNA cells. Plated HeLa cells were
transfected with either siRNA transfection reagent
mixture or non-targeting siRNA #1 reagent. After
overnight incubation, the transfection media was
removed, and the cells were lysed. One plate was
purified by the SpyLine Poly A+ Capture Kit, while the
other was purified using Supplier Q'
96-well total RNA
purification kit. Quantitative RT-PCR was run on the 2
sets of purified RNA using Applied Biosystems TaqMan?
Gene Expression Assays.
Flexible enough for
a variety of cell dilutions
Figure 2. Ct vs. cell number for
decreasing amount of cells. A series of cell
dilutions was prepared, beginning with 10,000 cells and
decreasing by ten-fold increments down to 1 cell. SURF-4
mRNAs were then amplified by quantitative RT-PCR.
Figure 3. Quantitative RT-PCR of mRNA
isolated from a series of decreasing cell dilutions.
Cell dilutions were prepared in replicate, in decreasing
10-fold increments from 10000 cells to 1 cell. SURF-4
mRNAs were then amplified by quantitative RT-PCR. As
depicted above, message can be clearly detected all of
the way down to a single-cell input.
Consistent results -
extremely low well to well and plate to plate
variability
Figure 4. Well to well variability and
plate to plate variability of the SpyLine Poly A+
Capture Kit. mRNA was isolated and captured
utilizing the SpyLine standard protocol. Quantitative
RT-PCR was set-up in the SpyLine Poly A+ Capture plate
and was run targeting SURF-4 mRNA. Comparison of the two

| GenElute™ mRNA Miniprep Kits
|
|
|
| High
yield isolation of mRNA from mammalian cells, tissues, or total
RNA
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Procedures such as cDNA synthesis, expression profiling, and
others, require separation of mRNA from the vastly more
abundant rRNA and tRNA. The GenElute mRNA Kits provide
convenient procedures for isolating polyadenylated mRNA from
previously prepared total RNA, or directly from mammalian cells
and tissues.
For direct mRNA preparation, cells or tissues are disrupted
with SDS/proteinase K digestion to release RNA and eliminate
RNases. Both kit types use oligo dT30 covalently
linked to 1 µm polystyrene beads to capture polyadenylated
mRNA by hybridization. The polystyrene beads remain suspended
during hybridization, eliminating the need for mixing or
rocking, as is common for cellulose or magnetic particles.
Polystyrene was also chosen because oligo (dT) polystyrene
beads yield cleaner mRNA with fewer stringent washing steps
than does the more commonly used oligo (dT) cellulose (2 or 3
wash steps versus 10 or more). With the GenElute kits,
mRNA-bead complexes are washed on a microcentrifuge spin
filter, and eluted into 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5. mRNA prepared
with either kit is suitable for a variety of downstream
applications such as Northern Blotting (Figure
4), Expression Array or Chip Hybridizations, and cDNA
Synthesis and Library Construction.

Duplicate mRNA samples were
prepared from 5 x 106
Hek293 cells (top left panels)
or 25-35 mg mouse liver (top
right panels) with Sigma's
GenElute Direct mRNA Miniprep Kit (S)
or with another commercially
available direct mRNA miniprep kit
(A, D, I, P, & Q). An
optional release and rebind
procedure (described in the Manual)
was included for preparation S+:
RNA was hybrid-captured onto oligo
(dT) beads, released into fresh
lysis solution, and re-captured
onto the same beads before washing
and eluting mRNA. The release and
rebinding steps were omitted for S-
& Sx2 preparations. Sx2
preparations were repurified after
the final elution with fresh oligo
(dT) beads (as described in the Manual)
. Equal portions of each mRNA
preparation, equal to the amount
from 1 x 106 cells or
10 mg liver, were evaluated by
Northern blot hybridization with 32P-labeled
RNA probes for p53,
hypoxanthine-guanine
phosphoribosyl transferase (HGPRT),
c-myc, and/or glyceraldehyde
3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)
mRNA.
For the bottom panels,
total RNA was first prepared from
Hek293 cells and from mouse liver.
Duplicate mRNA samples were then
prepared from 100 µg of
these total RNA preparations with
Sigma's GenElute mRNA Miniprep Kit
(S) or with another commercially
available mRNA miniprep kit (Q, A,
I, P, D). Samples Sx2 were
repurified after elution. Twenty
percent of each preparation was
evaluated by Northern blot as
above. In lanes T, 5 and 2 µg
of the original total RNA from
cells or 10 and 5 µg of
total RNA from liver were analyzed
for comparison.
