miRNeasy FFPE Kit

For purification of microRNA and total RNA from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections
  • Effective purification of miRNA and total RNA
  • Novel method to overcome formalin crosslinking
  • Efficient release of RNA without compromising integrity
  • Streamlined protocol providing RNA in just 85 minutes

The miRNeasy FFPE Kit enables purification of total RNA that includes RNA from approximately 18 nucleotides upwards from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. The kit provides recovery of usable RNA fragments, including miRNA and other small RNAs, for applications such as quantitative, real-time RT-PCR. Procedures can be automated on the QIAcube Connect.

FFPE 組織からの効率的なRNA 精製|卓越した収量および性能|効率的なリアルタイムRT-PCR定量|miRNeasy FFPE 操作手順|
miRNAを含むトータルRNAをmiRNeasy FFPE Kitあるいはフェノール・クロロホルム抽出法を用いて表記したラット組織から精製した。精製したRNA はmiScript Systemを用いたmiRNA miR-16のリアルタイム定量RT-PCRのテンプレートとして用いた。miRNeasy FFPE Kitを用いた肺および肝臓組織からの精製RNA ではより低いCT値結果が得られたことから、miRNeasy FFPE Kitがフェノール・クロロホルム抽出法に比べてより高収量でmiRNA が精製されたことを示唆している。腎臓組織に関しては、両法ともに類似したCT 値が得られた。テストしたすべての組織タイプに関して、miRNeasy FFPE Kitを用いた精製後のCT値は同じか低い値が得られた。|miRNeasy FFPE Kitまたは他社(A 社)の同様のキットを用いて、表記のラット組織のFFPE切片からRNAを精製した。[A]波長260 nmでの吸光度を測定しRNA収量を計算した。[B] miScript Systemを用いたmiRNA miR-16のリアルタイム定量RT-PCRのテンプレートとして精製したRNAを用いた。miRNeasy FFPE Kitで精製したRNAを使用した場合はより低いCT 値が得られたことから、A社のキットに比べてmiRNAをより高い収量で精製できたことを示している。|ラット肝臓組織をホルマリンで24時間あるいは60時間固定し、miRNeasy FFPE Kitを用いてmiRNAを含むトータルRNAの精製を行なった。miRNA miR-16およびmiR-29a、PGK1 遺伝子のmRNAを検出するために、miScript PCR System を用いたリアルタイム定量RT-PCRのテンプレートとして精製したRNAを用いた。これらの結果は、同じ溶出液から2種類のmiRNAとmRNAの検出に成功したことを示している。||
パフォーマンス
Yields and performance of total RNA and miRNA with the miRNeasy FFPE Kit are superior to alternative methods of miRNA purification, such as using phenol-chloroform extraction or a similar kit from another supplier (see figures "Effective real-time RT-PCR quantification", "Efficient RNA purification from FFPE tissues" and Superior yields and performance).
原理

Fixing tissues with formalin leads to RNA-RNA and RNA-protein crosslinking which impairs RNA performance in downstream applications. The miRNeasy FFPE Kit provides special lysis and incubation conditions to reverse formalin crosslinking of RNA. A specially developed lysis buffer efficiently releases RNA from tissue sections while avoiding further RNA degradation. The lysate is treated with DNase then optimized binding conditions allow purification of all usable RNA from approximately 18 nucleotides upwards.

操作手順
The entire miRNeasy FFPE procedure can be completed in as little as 85 minutes. The optimized lysis buffer allows sample lysis with proteinase K digestion in only 15 minutes without sacrificing RNA yields. After lysis, samples are incubated at 80ºC for 15 minutes to reverse formalin crosslinking. Genomic DNA is then rapidly removed in an optimized DNase step with DNase Booster Buffer, and concentrated RNA is purified using RNeasy MinElute spin columns (see flowchart "miRNeasy FFPE procedure"). Since RNA is eluted in a volume of just 14–30 µl, smaller reaction volumes are possible in downstream applications.

Efficient RNA Purification from FFPE Tissues
Efficient RNA purification from FFPE tissues.
Total RNA including miRNA was purified from the indicated rat tissues using either the miRNeasy FFPE Kit or phenol-chloroform extraction. Purified RNA was used as a template in quantitative, real-time RT-PCR assays for the miRNA miR-16 using the miScript PCR System. Results showed that for lung and liver tissues, CT values were lower after purification using the miRNeasy FFPE Kit, indicating that higher amounts of miRNA were purified than when using phenol-chloroform extraction. For kidney tissue, CT values were similar for both methods. CT values were similar or lower after purification using the miRNeasy FFPE Kit for all tissue types tested.
Superior Yields and Performance
Superior yields and performance.
RNA was purified from FFPE sections of the indicated rat tissues using either the miRNeasy FFPE Kit or a similar kit from Supplier A. [A] RNA yields were determined by measuring absorbance at 260 nm. [B] Purified RNA was used as a template in quantitative, real-time RT-PCR assays for the miRNA miR-16 using the miScript PCR System. Results showed that CT values were lower after purification using the miRNeasy FFPE Kit, indicating that higher amounts of miRNA were purified than when using the kit from Supplier A.
Effective real-time RT-PCR quantification of miRNA from FFPE tissues
Effective real-time RT-PCR quantification.
Rat liver tissue was formalin fixed for 24 hours or 60 hours, followed by purification of total RNA including miRNA using the miRNeasy FFPE Kit. Purified RNA was used as a template in quantitative, real-time RT-PCR using the miScript PCR System to detect miRNAs miR-16 and miR-29a and for the larger mRNA of the PGK1 gene. Results show successful detection of both miRNAs as well as for the mRNA from the same eluate.
