Description & Advantages

MicroRNAs are a class of non-coding RNAs with a length of about 22 nt, which play an important role in the regulation of gene expression in plants and animals.

MCE microRNA RT Master Mix for qPCR Ⅲ (poly A) uses poly(A)-tailing method to perform reverse transcription from miRNA first-strand to cDNA. The kit contains poly(A) polymerase (PAP) for the miRNA 3' end poly(A) reaction and all the raw materials and primers for miRNA reverse transcription reaction. It ensures that poly(A) modification process and reverse transcription process can be performed simultaneously and efficiently in miRNA 3' end. Only design miRNA-specific forward primers and use them together with the universal reverse primers included in the kit for subsequent qPCR experiments. Additionally, this kit provides universal U6 internal forward/reverse primers applicable for human, rat, and mouse that can be used for plotting standard curves.

Protocol

1. miRNA Poly(A) tailing and reverse transcription

Mix all reagents thoroughly and briefly centrifuge. Prepare the reaction on ice as follows:

Component 10 μL reaction
2× miRNA RT Buffer 5 μL
miRNA RT Mix 1.75 μL
Total RNA X μL
RNase-Free H2O To 10 μL

Note: Avoid repeated freeze-thawing of RNA and RNase contamination. Adjust template volume according to RNA concentration and keep the starting RNA amount consistent among samples.

Run the following program:

Step Temperature Time
Poly(A) tailing and reverse transcription 37°C 60 min
Enzyme inactivation 85°C 5 min
Hold 4°C Hold

The resulting cDNA may be used directly for qPCR or stored at -20°C.

2. miRNA qPCR

For each miRNA, design only the miRNA-specific Forward Primer and use it with the Universal Reverse Primer supplied in the kit. A recommended 20 μL reaction is shown below:

Component 20 μL qPCR reaction
SYBR Green qPCR Master Mix (2×) 10 μL
miRNA-specific Forward Primer (10 μM) 0.4 μL
Universal Reverse Primer (10 μM) 0.4 μL
RT product 2 μL
RNase-Free H2O 7.2 μL

qPCR may be performed with initial denaturation at 95°C followed by 40 cycles of denaturation at 95°C and annealing/extension at 60°C, followed by melting-curve analysis. U6 may be detected using the supplied U6 Forward Primer and U6 Reverse Primer as an internal reference.

Storage

-20°C, 2 years

Avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles
