RNA FISH Based Cell Sorting
The goal of this protocol is to be able to use RNA FISH when doing cell sorting, which can be a potentially more valuable way of cell sorting than using antibody staining, as it provides greater discrimination prospects.
Protocol
NOTE: The original protocol (from the paper) is rather vague and several steps may require troubleshooting if my guesses as to their meaning are not correct.
RNA FISH
- Fix cells in 4% paraformaldehyde for 5 min
- Centrifuge cells at 1000g for 5 minutes
- Wash cells with 70% EtOH
- Ethanol permeabilization- 70% EtOH overnight at 4C
- Resuspend cells in RPHBwith labeled probes (0.5-1ng/uL)
- Incubate for 12 hrs at 30C
- Add equal volume of wash buffer and mix thoroughly
- Pellet by centrifugation (1000g for 5 min)
- Resuspend cells in wash buffer for 30 minutes at 30C
- Pellet by centrifugation and resuspend cells in wash buffer for 30 minutes at 30C
- Pellet cells and resuspend in flow buffer at 4C in preparation for sorting
Flow Cytometry, FACS, and RNA Extraction
- Sort by FACS into 4C sorting buffer
- Cell size was controlled by costaining with Hoeschst 33342 and selecting for diploid DNA content
- Pellet FACS sorted cells using 1000g for 5 minutes and resuspend in reverse cross-linking buffer at 50C for 1 hr
- Isolate total RNA via phenol-chloroform or other
