HistoryHistory
cDNA microarrays have evolved from Southern blots, with clone libraries gridded out on nylon membrane filters being an important and still widely used intermediate. Things took off with the introduction of non-porous solid supports, such as glass - these permitted miniaturization - and fluorescence based detection. Currently, about 20,000 cDNAs can be spotted onto a microscope slide. The other, Affymetrix technology can produce arrays of 100,000 oligonucleotides on a silicon chip. I will not discuss these further.

Preparing RNA:
CELL CULTURE AND HARVEST
RNA ISOLATION
cDNA PRODUCTION
Designing experiments to profile conditions/perturbations/mutations and carefully controlled growth conditions
RNA yield and purity are determined by system. PolyA isolation is preferable but total RNA is useable. Two RNA samples are hybridized/chip.
Single strand synthesis or amplification of RNA can be performed. cDNA production includes incorporation of Aminoallyl-dUTP.

Hybing the Chip:
ARRAY HYBRIDIZATION
PROBE LABELING
DATA ANALYSIS
Cy3 and Cy5 RNA samples are simultaneously hybridized to chip. Hybs are performed for 5-12 hours and then chips are washed.
Two RNA samples are labelled with Cy3 or Cy5 monofunctional dyes via a chemical coupling to AA-dUTP. Samples are purified using a PCR cleanup kit.
Ratio measurements are determined via quantification of 532 nm and 635 nm emission values. Data are uploaded to the appropriate database where statistical and other analyses can then be performed.

Practical ProblemsPractical Problems
—Surface chemistry: uneven surface may lead to high background.
—Dipping the pin into large volume -> pre-printing to drain off excess sample.
—Spot variation can be due to mechanical difference between pins. Pins could be clogged during the printing process.
—Spot size and density depends on surface and solution properties.
—Pins need good washing between samples to prevent sample carryover.

5. Once scan location determined, draw a “SCAN AREA” marquis around the array
6. Perform quick visual inspection of hyb and make initial adjustments to PMTs
7. For gene expression hybs, raise or lower the red and green PMTs to achieve color balance
8. Before you perform your data scan, change “LINES TO AVERAGE” to 2.
9. Perform a high-resolution “DATA-SCAN”……(ctd)

13. Save as type=Multi-image TIFF files.
14. Once scanned and saved, you are ready to assign spot identities and calculate results.
Note: For us, normalization is performed later during data analysis.

Summary of analysis possibilitiesSummary of analysis possibilitiesDetermine genes which are differentially expressed (this task
can take many forms depending on replication, etc)
Connect differentially expressed genes to sequence databases and perhaps carry out further analyses, e.g. searching for common upstream motifs
Overlay differentially expressed genes on pathway diagrams
Relate expression levels to other information on cells, e.g. known tumour types
Define subclasses (clusters) in sets of samples (e.g. tumours)
Identify temporal or spatial trends in gene expression
Seek roles for genes on the basis of patterns of co-expression
……..much more
Many challenges: transcriptional regulation involves redundancy, feedback, amplification, .. non-linearity
