Cells were treated with Tat (10 ng/ml) kindly received from NIH (AIDS reagnets Bank) or 10 pg/ml of Vpr protein kindly received from Dr Eric Cohen, University of Montreal-Canada for 24 hours or control treatment.
Growth protocol
Primary human neurons (HN) (5 x 105) purchased from ScienCell Research Laboratories (Carlsbad, CA) were grown in DMEM + 10% FBS on MatTek glass bottom plates treated with collagen (MatTek, Ashland, MA).
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
Total RNA was isolated using Trizol (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). 750 ng of total RNA was used for miRNA array analysis using miRCURY LNATM microRNA Array, v. 11.0 (Exiqon, Woburn, MA).
Label
Hy5
Label protocol
RNA was labeled using the miRCURY LNATM miRNA, Hy5 Power Labeling Kit (Exiqon) as per manufacturer’s recommendations using Maui SC Hybridization Chambers (BioMicro Systems, Salt Lake City, UT).
Hybridization protocol
RNA was labeled using the miRCURY LNATM miRNA, Hy5 Power Labeling Kit (Exiqon) as per manufacturer’s recommendations using Maui SC Hybridization Chambers (BioMicro Systems, Salt Lake City, UT).
Scan protocol
Array chips were scanned using Axon GenePix Scanner (Molecular Devices, Downingtown, PA) and Genepix 4000 image capture software (Molecular Devices, Downingtown, PA).
Description
SAMPLE 2
Data processing
Quantile normalization was used using JMP Genomics (JMP, Cary, NC) at Harvard Catalyst - Laboratory for Innovative Translational Technology (HC-LITT) and differentially regulated miRNAs were determined. Untreated cells were used as control.
