tissue: Hippocampus gender: male treatment: saline exposure
Treatment protocol
MiRNA expression in hippocampi of mice was determined after mice received oropharyngeal aspiration of saline and PM2.5 at 1 and 5 mg/kg every other day for 4 weeks
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
Total RNA was extracted and purified using mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit (Cat#AM1560, Ambion, Austin, TX, US) | mirVanaTM PARISTM (Cat#AM1556, Ambion, Austin, TX, US) following the manufacturer’s instructions and checked for a RIN number to inspect RNA integration by an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US)
Label
Cy3
Label protocol
miRNA molecular in total RNA was labeled by miRNA Complete Labeling and Hyb, Kit(Cat#5190‐0456, Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US)followed the manufacturer’s instructions, labeling section.
Hybridization protocol
Each slide was hybridized with 100ng Cy3‐labeled RNA using miRNA Complete Labeling and Hyb Kit(Cat#5190‐0456, Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US)in hybridization Oven(Cat#G2545A, Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US)at 55 ℃， 20rpm for 20 hours according to the manufacturer’s instructions, hybridization section. After hybridization, slides were washed in staining dishes (Cat#121, Thermo Shandon, Waltham, MA, US) with Gene Expression Wash Buffer Kit(Cat#5188‐5327, Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US).
Scan protocol
Slides were scanned by Agilent Microarray Scanner(Cat#G2565BA，Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US).
Description
miRNA expression after saline exposure
Data processing
The scanned images were analyzed with Feature Extraction software 10.7 (Agilent technologies, Santa Clara, CA, US) with default settings.
