3.9 Effect of γ-radiation on gene expression profiling<br />

Materials:<br />

1. Cobalt-60 isotope source (<strong>Bhabha</strong>tron-II)<br />

2. TRIzol<br />

3. Total RNA<br />

4. Superscript II reverse transcriptase<br />

5. dNTP mix (dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP + amino allyl dUPP)<br />

6. Microcon YM30 columns<br />

7. Sodium bicarbonate<br />

8. Cy3 & Cy5 dyes<br />

9. PCR purification kit<br />

10. Human Cot 1 DNA and yeast tRNA<br />

11. Toronto microarray slides (19K+8K, total 27K genes)<br />

12. Heating block<br />

13. Hybridization chambers<br />

14. Centrifuge<br />

15. GenePix 4200A microarray scanner<br />

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 />
