Abstract

Background : Nucleic acid hybridization has become an essential technique in the development of our understanding of gene structure and function. The quantitative analysis of hybridization has been used in the measurement of genome complexity and gene copy number. The filter hybridization assay is rapid, sensitive and can be used to measure RNAs complementary to any cloned DNA sequence. Methods : The authors assessed the accuracy, linearity, correlation coefficient and specificity of the hybridization depending on the added dose(0, 1, 5, and $10{\mu}g$) of non-specific rat spleen RNA to hybridization of surfactant protein A mRNA. Filter hybridization assays were used to obtain the equation of standard curve and thereby to quantitate the mRNA quantitation. Results : 1. Standard curve equation of filter hybridization assay between counts per minute (X) and spleen RNA input (Y) was Y=0.13X-19.35. Correlation coefficient was 0.98. 2. Standard curve equation of filter hybridization assay between counts per minute (X) and surfactant protein A mRNA transcript input (Y) was Y=0.00066X-0.046. Correlation coefficient was 0.99. 3. Standard curve equation of filter hybridization assay between counts per minute (X) and surfactant protein A mRNA transcript input (Y) after the addition of $1{\mu}g$ spleen RNA was Y=0.00056X-0.051. Correlation coefficient was 0.99. 4. Standard curve equation of filter hybridization assay between counts per minute (X) and surfactant protein A mRNA transcript input (Y) after the addition of $5{\mu}g$ spleen RNA was Y=0.00065X-0.088. Correlation coefficient was 0.99. 5. Standard curve equation of filter hybridization assay between counts per minute (X) and surfactant protein A mRNA transcript input (Y) after the addition of $10{\mu}g$ spleen RNA was Y=0.00051X-0.10. Correlation coefficient was 0.99. Conclusions : Comparison of cpm/filter in a linear range allowed accurate and reproducible estimation of surfactant protein A mRNA copy number irrespective of the addition dosage of non-specific rat spleen RNA over the range $0-10{\mu}g$.

연구배경 : 유전자 재결합 반응에 있어서 다른 종류의 RNA의 첨가에도 불구하고 유전자 반응에 영향이 없어야 여타 실험의 정량적 분석에 이용이 가능하다. 이에 저자들은 쥐를 대상으로 filter hybridization방법과 SP-A mRNA을 이용하여 비특이성 RNA 즉, 쥐의 비장 RNA의 첨가가 surfactant protein A (SP-A)의 유전자 재결합반응의 linearity, 상관계수 및 특이성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 이 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : SP-A transcript mRNA의 정량, 즉 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1 및 2.5 ng에 비특성 RNA 즉 비장 RNA를 각각 0,1, 5 및 $10{\mu}g$을 첨가하여 filter hybridization 방법을 이용하여 SP-A mRNA양과 cpm과의 연관성을 비교정량측정하여 각각의 linearity, 상관계수 및 특이성의 분자생물학적 정도관리에 대한 비교 관찰을 하기 위하여 이 연구를 시행하였다. 결 과 : 1. 쥐의 spleen RNA 0, 1, 5, 10 및 $20{\mu}g$에 대한 cpm과의 표준곡선 및 상관계수는 Y=0.13X-19.35(X=cpm, Y=spleen RNA input)이고, 상관계수는 0.98이었다. 2. SP-A sense 전사체 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 및 5 ng에 대한 cpm과의 표준곡선 및 상관계수는 Y=0.00066X-0.046 (X=cpm, Y=SP-A mRNA 전사체)이고, 상관계수는 0.99이었다. 3. 쥐의 비장 RNA $1{\mu}g$을 첨가 후 SP-A sense 전사체 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 및 5 ng에 대한 cpm과의 표준곡선 및 상관계수는 Y=0.00056X-0.051(X=cpm, Y=SP-A mRNA 전사체)이고, 상관계수는 0.99이였다. 쥐의 비장 RNA $5{\mu}g$을 첨가 후 표준곡선은 Y=0.00065X-0.088 (X=cpm, Y=SP-AmRNA 전사체)이고, 상관계수는 0.99이였다. 쥐의비장 RNA $10{\mu}g$을 첨가 후 표준곡선은 Y=0.00051X-0.10 (X=cpm, Y=SP-A mRNA 전사체)이고, 상관계수는 0.99이었다. 결 론 : 이상의 결과는 비특이성 RNA인 비장 RNA의 첨가 후 SP-A sense mRNA양과 cpm과의 상관관계는 sense 유전자와 anti-sense 유전자의 유전자 재결합 반응에 있어서 다양한 양의 비특이성 RNA의 첨가나 오염에도 불구하고 linearity, 상관계수 및 그 특이성이 잘 유지됨을 입증해 준 결과라 생각된다.
