Method:<br />
Whole genome expression profiling was done for 5 MPN and 5 Control cell<br />
lines where 10x10 6 cells were seeded in 100 mm plates in 5 ml complete DMEM and<br />
irradiated with 5 Gy γ-radiation dose. Cells were allowed to grow for 24 h and were<br />
collected by centrifuging at 1500 rpm/ 10 min/ RT. Cells were washed twice with PBS,<br />
RNA was isolated using TRIzol protocol as described in section 4.3.1 and RNA<br />
integrity was checked on 1.2% reducing agarose gel as described in section 4.3.2. After<br />
isolating RNA the following steps were followed to perform whole genome expression<br />
profiling.<br />
3.9.1 Microcon concentration of the sample:<br />
25 μg of RNA in 10 μl volume (concentration =2.5 μg/μl) was used for first<br />
strand cDNA synthesis using Superscript II reverse transcriptase for each slide. If the<br />
concentration of sample is less than 2.5 μg/μl, then it is subjected to Microcon column<br />
concentration. For sample concentration volume of the sample was made upto100 μl<br />
with nuclease free water and it was loaded on Microcon YM30 column. Sample was<br />
centrifuged at 10000 rpm/ 3 min/ RT. The sample was centrifuged till the volume of the<br />
