Pretreatment Conditions

We have determined optimal conditions for the detection of mRNA sequences in cultured cells by nonradioactive in situ hybridization. For this purpose a number of different cell lines have been used: rat 9G cells for the detection of human cytomegalovirus immediate early mRNA, and HeLa as well as 5637 carcinoma cells for the detection of housekeeping gene mRNAs. Extensive optimization of fixation and pretreatment conditions revealed that most intense hybridization signals are obtained when cells are grown on glass microscope slides, fixed with a mixture of formaldehyde and acetic acid, pretreated with pepsin and denatured prior to hybridization. In addition, we also studied the potential of fluorochromized probes for the direct detection of multiple RNA sequences. The optimized in situ hybridization procedure revealed that immediate early mRNA transcripts are, in addition to a cytoplasmic localization, localized within nuclei of rat 9G cells. Double hybridization experiments showed that intron and exon sequences colocalize within the main nuclear signal. In addition, the presence of small, intron-specific, fluorescent spots scattered around the main nuclear signals indicates that intron sequences which are spliced out can be visualized. Additional information about the functioning of cells could be obtained by the detection of mRNA simultaneously with bromodeoxyuridine, incorporated during S-phase, or its cognate protein. The sensitivity of these methods is such that mRNAs of abundantly expressed housekeeping genes can be detected in a variety of cell lines with high signal to noise ratios.

Set Up

RNA-RNA in situ hybridization is a reliable method for studying tissue and cell specific gene expression, which enables visualization of labeled antisense RNA probe hybridized to specific mRNA. In this study we employed non-radioactive RNA-RNA in situ hybridization using biotin- or digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes in order to detect SOX gene expression in carcinoma cell lines. By this approach we confirmed results obtained by Northern blot analysis, where the presence of SOX2 mRNA in NT2/D1 and SOX14 mRNA in HepG2 cells has been established. Our aim was to set up RNA-RNA in situ hybridization method in in vitro cultured cells in order to perform further analyses of SOX gene expression on various normal and cancer tissues.

Background Removal

RNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful tool to visualize target messenger RNA transcripts in cultured cells, tissue sections or whole-mount preparations. As the technique has been developed over time, an ever-increasing number of divergent protocols have been published. There is now a broad selection of options available to facilitate proper tissue preparation, hybridization, and post-hybridization background removal to achieve optimal results. Here we review the technical aspects of RNA-FISH, examining the most common methods associated with different sample types including cytological preparations and whole-mounts. We discuss the application of commonly used reagents for tissue preparation, hybridization, and post-hybridization washing and provide explanations of the functional roles for each reagent. We also discuss the available probe types and necessary controls to accurately visualize gene expression. Finally, we review the most recent advances in FISH technology that facilitate both highly multiplexed experiments and signal amplification for individual targets. Taken together, this information will guide the methods development process for investigators that seek to perform FISH in organisms that lack documented or optimized protocols.
