RNA Isolation Protocol
(Revised 5-15-2003)

Stabilize RNA

Start with 15 ml E. coli Culture containing 7.undefined 109 cells (OD600 = 0.2 Dilute cells or scale up)
  • Pipet 30 ml of RNAProtect Bacteria Reagent (Qiagen) into a 50ml polypropylene conical tube.
  • Pipet 15 ml culture into the tube.  Mix immediately by vortexing for 5second.  Incubate for 5min at room temperature.
  • Centrifuge for 10min at 5800g( 4500rpm for H-6000A rotor in SORVALL RC-3B centrifuge)
  • Decant the supernatant, and leave tubes inverted on a paper towel for 10s.
  • Freeze the pellet with EtOH/Dye Ice mix.
  • The pellet can be stored at -20°C up to 2 weeks, or -70°C for up to 4 weeks.

Isolation RNA

  • Dilute 2ul of Proteinase K into 300ul of Tissue and Cell Lysis solution for each sample.
  • Resuspend cell pellet by the Lysis solution and mix thoroughly. Transfer mix to 1.5ml tube.
  • Incubate at 65°C for 45min, and vortex every 15min.
  • Place the sample on ice for 5min.
  • Add 150ul of MPC protein Precipitation Reagent to 300ul of lysed sample and vortex mix for 10sec.
  • Spin for 10min 4°C at max speed in a microcentrifuge. Transfer the supernant to a clean tube.
  • Add 50ul of MPC protein Precipitation Reagent and repeat above step.
  • Add 500ul isopropanol to the recovered supernatant, invert the tube 30-40 times.
  • Pellet the RNA by centrifugation at 4°C for 10min in a microcentrifuge.
  • Carefully pour off the isopropanol without dislodging the RNA pellet. Remove all of the residual isopropanol with a pipet. Air dry 10-15min.

Removal of contaminating DNA

  • Dilute 10ul of RNAse-Free DNAse I up to 200ul with 1x DNAse Buffer for each sample.
  • Completely resuspend the nucleic acid pellet in 200ul of DNAse I solution.
  • Incubation at 37deg;C for 45min
  • Add 200ul of 2x T and C lysis solution, vortex mix for 5 seconds
  • Add 200ul of MPC reagent vortex mix 10seconds, place on ice 5min.
  • Pellet the debris by centrifugation for 10min at 4°C, >10,000g in a microcentrifuge.
  • Add 50ul of MPC reagent and repeat 5 and 6 (but this time spin 20min).
  • Add 600ul isopropanol to the recovered supernatant, invert the tube 30-40 times.
  • Pellet the RNA by centrifugation at 4°C for 10min in a microcentrifuge.
  • Carefully pour off the isopropanol without dislodging the RNA pellet.
  • Rinse with 75% EtOH (DEPC H2 O), being careful to not dislodge the pellet. Centrifuge 5min at 4°C
  • Remove all of the residual EtOH with a pipet. Air dry 10-15min.
  • Resuspend the nucleic acid in 52ul RNAse-free water.

Storage, Quantitation and Determination of Quality of RNA

  • Electrophoresis on 1% Agarose gel with 1ul sample.
  • Dilute 1ul sample to 100ul with TE(10mM Tris.HCl pH 8, 1mM EDTA), and measure A260 and A280 with a spectrophotometer.. Alternatively 1ul sample can be used to measure A260 and A280 on a Nanodrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer without dilution.
  • Concentration of RNA sample = 40 x A260 x 100 (Dilution factor) (ug/ml)
  • A260/A280 Ratio = A260/A280, ranging from 1.7 to 2.1
  • Add 100ul EtOH (2 volume) and 5ul 3M NaOAC (1/10 volume), store at -20°C

Regents

  • RNAProtect Bacteria Reagent Qiagen
  • MasterPure RNA Isolation Kit Epicentre

 

Note: This protocol was adapted from the original Qiagen and Epicentre protocols
