  • qRT-PCR experiment - PlateK562_1/ U2OS
  • U2OS RT-PCR - RNA extraction & cDNA synthesis



RNA Extraction

  • Use combined TRIzol/ spin column metod. Use RNeasy Mini Kit.

Samples (TRIzol-lysed U2OS samples from -80°C freezer)

  1. Tube 1-A (+PcTF)
  2. Tube 1-A (+PcTF)
  3. Tube 4-A (mock)
  4. Tube 4-A (mock)

Procedure notes (based on Carly's notes from 1/10/13)
TRIzol steps

  • Clean all work surfaces and pipettors with RNase-zap.
  • Thaw TRIzol-lysed cells at room temp
  • Under fume hood: Add 100 μL chloroform to each sample
  • Shake vigorously (by inverting tubes) for 20 sec. Let sit at room temp. for 2 min.
  • Centrifuge in cold room for 15 min @ 12,000G
  • Pipet off clear phase from organic phase (pink) into new tube (AVOID THE PINK PHASE)
  • Check volume of clear phase (in new tubes). Add same volume of 70% ethanol, RNase-free. Mix and incubate at room temp (refer to RNeasy protocol)

Spin-column steps

  • Open up one pink, sealed spin-column (with attached cap) per sample, label it, and place into collection tube(s).
  • Transfer RNA/ethanol mix to each spin column.
  • Spin tubes at top speed for 30 sec (room temp).
  • Discard flow-through liquid and add 700μL of RW1 Buffer to the spin column.
  • Spin tubes at top speed for 30 sec (room temp).
  • Put collection vial in a fresh collection tube and discard the old one.
  • --> Add 500μL of RBE Buffer to the spin column.
  • Spin tubes at top speed for 30 sec (room temp) then discard the liquid flow-through.
  • Repeat the above two steps again. -->
  • Discard the flow-through and spin again.
  • Transfer liquid to a fresh 1.5 mL tube (RNase-free) and add 30 μL of RNase-free H2O.
  • Let tubes sit for 1 min at room temp.
  • Spin tubes for 1 min (room temp).
  • Store at -80°C or proceed to RNA concentration measurement.




cDNA Synthesis

  • Use Superscript III kit (freezer)

Procedure notes

  • Kit components kept on ice: RNase H, SS III RT, and RNase out
  • Kit components thawed at Room temp: Oligo nT, RT Buffer, MgCl2, dNTP mix, water, DTT
