The Tm in the dissociation curve for a specific miRNA is different<br />

from one sample to another<br />

Variations in extraction methods<br />

Differences in Tm can be explained by differences in pH, salt or detergents in a<br />

reaction due to variations in different extractions.<br />

Modification of the same miRNA from one cell type to another<br />

It could be possible that a product of different size or small modifications of the same<br />

miRNA are obtained from one cell type to another. To determine which miRNA is<br />

amplified, PCR product should be cloned and sequenced.<br />

MiRNA Editing<br />

Different mechanism of maturation of pri-miRNA to pre-miRNA (miRNA editing) can<br />

occur from one cell type to another. To determine which miRNA is amplified, PCR<br />

product should be cloned and sequenced.<br />

Specificity of MirMaid miRNA set to precursor miRNA versus<br />

primary miRNA<br />

Sequences of pre-miRNAs are identical to sequences of pri-miRNAs. Then, the<br />

MiRmaid qRT-PCR primer set will amplify both the pri-miRNA and the pre-miRNA.<br />

Primary miRNAs are 10 to 100 times less abundant than pre-miRNAs. Thus, the<br />

amplification would be mainly reflecting the quantification of the precusor miRNAs.<br />

To obtain a precise quantification of the pre-miRNAs versus the pri-miRNAs, specific<br />

primers to pri-miRNAs can be designed and quantification of primary miRNAs can be<br />

subtracted; thus, precise expression rate of miRNA precursors will be obtained.<br />
