Standard Operating Procedure Title: RNA Isolation with TRIzol Reagent Protocole from www.invitrogen.com Material safety: When working with TRIzol Reagent use gloves and eye protection. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. Use in a chemical fume hood. Avoid breathing vapour. 1. HOMOGENIZATION Flies were crushed in liquid nitrogen with a mortar. The obtained powder was homogenized in 1 ml of TRIzol Reagent. The sample volume should not exceed 10% of the volume of TRIzol Reagent used for homogenization. Following homogenization, remove insoluble material from the homogenate by centrifugation at 12,000 x g for 10 minutes at 2 to 8�C. The resulting pellet contains extracellular membranes, polysaccharides, and high molecular weight DNA, while the supernatant contains RNA. Transfer the cleared homogenate solution to a fresh tube. 2. PHASE SEPARATION Incubate the homogenized samples for 5 min at 15 to 30�C to permit the complete dissociation of nucleoprotein complexes. Add 0.2 ml of chloroform per 1 ml of TRIzol reagent. Cap sample tubes securely. Shake tubes vigorously by hand for 15 secondes and incubate them at 15 to 30�C for 2 to 3 min. Centrifuge the samples at no more than 12,000 x g for 15 min at 2 to 8�C. Following centrifugation, the mixture separates into a lower red, phenol-chloroform phase, an interphase, and a colorless upper aqueous phase. RNA remains exclusively in the aqueous phase. The volume of the aqueous phase is about 60% of the volume of TRIzol Reagent used for homogenization. 3. RNA PRECIPITATION Transfer the aqueous phase to a fresh tube, and save the organic phase if isolation of DNA or protein is desired. Precipitate the RNA from the aqueous phase by mixing with isopropyl alcohol. Use 0.5 ml of isopropyl alcohol per 1 ml of TRIzol reagent used for the initial homogenization. Incubate samples at 15 to 30�C for 10 min and centrifuge at no more than 12,000 x g for 10 min at 2 to 8�C. The RNA precipitate, often invisible before centrifugation, forms a gel-like pellet on the side and bottom of the tube. 4. RNA WASH Remove the supernatant. Wash the RNA pellet once with 75% ethanol, adding at least 1 ml of 75% ethanol per ml of TRIzol Reagent used for the initial homogenization. Mix the sample by vortexing and centrifuge at no more than 7,500 x g for 5 min at 2 to 8�C. 5. REDISSOLVING THE RNA At the end of the procedure, briefly dry the RNA pellet. It is important not to let the RNA pellet dry completely as this will greatly decrease its solubility. Dissolve RNA in RNA free water.

Hybridization protocol
Standard Operating Procedure Title: Hybridization pronto protocol Protocol from www.promega.com 1. Dry the appropriate amount of each dye-labeled cDNA using a speedvacuum concentrator, then dissolve the cDNA in the required volume of Pronto! Universal Hybridization Solution or in home made hybridization solution ( 1/3 ddH2O+ 2/3 DIGEasy). 2. Incubate the labeled cDNA solution at 95�C for 5 minutes, protecting samples from light. 3. Centrifuge the cDNA at 13,500g for two minutes to collect condensation. Do not place the solution on ice because this will cause precipitation of some of the components. 4. Place array in Corning Hybridization Chamber (Cat.# 2551). Pipet the labeled cDNA gently up and down and then transfer onto the surface of the printed side of the slide. Carefully place the cover glass on the array. Avoid trapping air bubbles between the array and the cover glass. Small air bubbles that do form usually dissipate during hybridization. Assemble the chamber as described in its package insert.
5. Incubate the chamber-array assembly at 42�C for 14-20 hours using a water bath or a hybridization oven. Make sure you place the hybridization chamber horizontally . this can be checked with bubble in the middle of the stuff??
Scan protocol
Slides were scanned on a Genepix 4000b scanner and signal quantification was performed using the Genepix pro 4.1 software (Axon Instruments).
Description
A cDNA microarray was constructed using expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of 1.8 kb average length and gene specific tags of 0.4 kb average length obtained by PCR amplification and plasmid cloning. This Drosophila toxicology microarray contained 319 genes that represent all cytochromes P450, glutathione S-transferases, esterases, other genes of interest including attacin or Ftz-F1 and several housekeeping genes as controls. Each insert was amplified by PCR with flanking universal primers, purified and then spotted using the ChipWriterPro Virtek (BioRad) spotter at three independent locations on Corning UltraGAPS slides (Corning).
Data processing
Data files from Genepix were converted using Express Converter software and normalized in MIDAS (Microarray Data Analysis System), using two publicly available programs from TIGR. Three steps of normalization were performed in MIDAS, (a) a low intensity filter in which signal intensity < 1000 was removed; (b) a global lowess normalization was applied; (c) a flip dye consistency check, the Cy3 and Cy5 labels were swapped between controls versus treatments to account for potential differences in labelling efficiency. For statistical analysis, each array intensity was log-transformed, centred by their average value and reduced by their standard deviation. The resulting data for each gene were analyzed with a type III two-way (i.e., sex x treatment) analysis of variance (ANOVA) taking into account the presence of missing values. A gene was considered as differentially expressed if 50% or more of its variance was explained by the treatment effect with a corresponding P-value lower than 0.035. Data were removed when there was no consistency for a same gene represented on the array by PCR products of different size, as this may have reflected a different degree of specificity.
