T1 |
74-274 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Surgical removal of porcine intestinal tissue followed by an ex vivo challenge is an alternative technique of testing the anti-inflammatory effect of bioactive compounds in the intestine of live pigs. |
T2 |
275-416 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
We investigated the effects of ex vivo incubation of porcine colonic tissue on the quantity and quality of total RNA over a 12-h time period. |
T3 |
417-593 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Colonic tissue of pig (n = 6) was surgically removed immediately postslaughter and incubated for 0, 3, 6, and 12 h in a humidified cell culture incubator with 5% CO(2) at 37°C. |
T4 |
594-643 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Tissue samples were processed for RNA extraction. |
T5 |
644-774 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The quantity and quality of total RNA were assessed on a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer and an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer, respectively. |
T6 |
775-878 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Ex vivo incubation had an effect on both the quantity (P < 0.001) and quality (P < 0.001) of total RNA. |
T7 |
879-1070 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
Relative to the RNA yield at 0 h (505.0 ± 48.64 μg/mg), the yield was significantly reduced after 6 h (227.6 ± 25.52 μg/mg; P < 0.001) and 12 h (159.3 ± 24.19 μg/mg; P < 0.001) of incubation. |
T8 |
1071-1152 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
The 28S and 18S rRNA bands were visibly intact after 0, 3, and 6 h of incubation. |
T9 |
1153-1223 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
However, after 12 h of incubation, a degraded RNA profile was evident. |
T10 |
1224-1396 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
The RNA integrity number (RIN) values for the 0, 3, 6, and 12 h of incubation were 9.4 ± 0.10, 9.0 ± 0.10, 6.7 ± 0.17 (P < 0.001), and 3.3 ± 0.24 (P < 0.001), respectively. |
T11 |
1397-1640 |
DRI_Approach |
denotes |
The transcript abundances of 4 constitutively expressed genes glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), beta actin (ACTB), beta 2-microglobulin (B2M), and peptidylprolyl isomerase A (PPIA) were reduced at both 6 and 12 h of incubation. |
T12 |
1641-1798 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
It is concluded that ex vivo incubation of porcine colonic tissue up to 3 h postmortem generates good quality total RNA suitable for gene expression studies. |
