05/07/2010 - 11/07/2010


Preperation of competent E. coli Top10 and DH5alpha Cell Culture Starting

12/07/2010 - 19/07/2010


Preperation of RNA extracts for miRNA profiling

  • Hela, Hek and HUH were plated on p100 dishes in their according media (10E6 cells/dish) and grown to 60-70 % confluence
  • Infection of Hela p4, HUH-7 and HEK cells with AAV serotype 2 (GFP) and incubation for 48 h
  • afterwards, RNA Extraction was performed according to the following protocol:

Protocol

  • Samples were afterwards analyzed for miRNA expression by using the FEBIT miRNA profiling service


  • pSB1AC3 from the registry was transformed into Top10 cells according to the standard transformation protocol; a day later, a 5 ml LB culture was inocculated and incubated for 8 hours; plasmid was extracted by applying the Qiagen MiniPrep Protocol


design of diraPCR oligos

  • a diraPCR Designer tool (called miRACLE Designer) was programmed for enabling quick&easy design of diraPCR oligos. The program takes any microRNA guiding strand sequence of choice and constructs synthetic microRNA binding site oligos. Those oligos have the following properties:
  • they have a 5' and 3' anealing sequence which is inerte (has no natural microRNA target)
  • the microRNA binding site of choice with randomized nucleotides at position 9-12 and a missmatch introduced at position 0
  • an inerte spacer sequence of 0, 5 10 or 15 bp length


The miRACLE Designer constructs a set of 8 ready-to-order oligos and prints them out in the common FASTA format. When performing diraPCR, binding sites will be concatomerized with spacer sequences in between 15 and 30 bp length.

design of measurement standard

  • in order to design an appropriety standard respecting all the rules according to the standard of mammalian synthetic biology (RFC12), we developed a dual reporter measurment construct with the following properties:
  • bidirectional CMV promoter driving both reporter genes
  • distabilized EGFP and EBFP2 as reporter genes, as they are really similar in their whole structure and amino-acid sequence
  • BBB prefix and suffix cloned behind the EGFP for easy swapping of binding site patterns
  • unique BamHI and HindIII binding sites introduced behind the EBFP2 reporter for introducing a reference binding site
  • strong SV40 terminators behind both reporters
  • vector backbone, containing an Amp resistance, Hygromycin resistance, pBR322 origin and an FRT site for stable integration

Dilution of raPCR-Oligos

  • oligos (hsa_miR_886_3p_sp0...) and stop oligo (miRaPCR_Stop_fw_Ecori and miRA_PCR_Stop_rev) diluted to a concentration of 100 um

  • PCR products were analyzed on a 1 % agarose gel, run for 45 min @ 135 V





Single Binding Site Synthesis - Optimization

  • Further optimization of the single binding site synthesis protocol
The unspecific or multimer side products were clearly reduced, but there is still sime unwanted, longer product in case of mir-122.
  • Protocol 2:
set up the exact same reaction as on the day before, but using an anealing temperature of 65 °C
