AbstractTranscriptomics has been widely applied in uncovering disease mechanisms and screening potential biomarkers. Internal reference selection determines the accuracy and reproducibility of data analyses. The aim of this study was to identify the most qualified reference genes for the relative quantitation analysis of transcriptomics and real-time quantitative reverse-transcription PCR in fourteen NF1 related cell lines, including non-tumor, benign and malignant Schwann cell lines. The expression characteristics of eleven candidate reference genes (RPS18, ACTB, B2M, GAPDH, PPIA, HPRT1, TBP, UBC, RPLP0, TFRC and RPL32) were screened and analyzed by four software programs: geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and RefFinder. Results showed that GAPDH, the most used internal reference gene, was significantly unstable. The combinational use of two reference genes (PPIA and TBP) was optimal in malignant Schwann cell lines and the use of single reference genes (PPIA or PRLP0) alone or in combination was optimal in benign Schwann cell lines. Our recommended internal reference genes may improve the accuracy and reproducibility of the results of transcriptomics and real-time quantitative reverse-transcription PCR in further gene expression analyses of NF1 related tumors.

Abstract Background: Despite the many advantages of real-time fluorescence reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) as a quantitative analytical tool, simultaneous quantification of target and reference templates within one reaction has not been reported. We developed such an assay with an internal reference template. Methods: For quantification of target and reference sequences, we used two fluorescent probes in one reaction vessel on an ABI PRISM 7700 SDS instrument. Fluorescent probes were labeled with either 6-carboxy-fluorescein or hexachloro-6-carboxy-fluorescein as reporter dye and 4-(4′-dimethylaminophenylazo)benzoic acid (DABCYL) as a dark quencher fluorophore. To test the sensitivity and specificity of this assay, serial dilutions of reference and target templates were analyzed in one PCR reaction. In the presence of 10 β-actin molecules as control templates, 105 bcr/abl molecules were amplified, and 105 β-actin molecules were amplified in the presence of 10 bcr/abl copies. We also performed single and duplex measurements on samples from five patients with documented Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia disease courses (72 samples) and three with minor bcr/abl+ acute myelogenous leukemias (26 samples). Results: For M-bcr/abl duplex RT-PCR, the correlation coefficient (r) for starting template amounts and threshold cycle values was 0.99; for m-bcr/abl, r = 0.96, indicating a precise log-linear relation for 10–105 copies/100 ng of cDNA. In the same PCR reactions, r = 0.99 for β-actin (coamplified with M-bcr/abl or m-bcr/abl) for 103–107 copies/100 ng cDNA. The linear correlation coefficient for single and duplex measurements was 0.98 for M- and m-bcr/abl in patient samples. Conclusions: DABCYL can be used as dark quencher fluorophore in real-time fluorescence PCR. The duplex fluorescence RT-PCR assay for bcr/abl and β-actin transcripts allows monitoring of bcr/abl+ leukemias.
