Quantitation of mucin RNA by PCR reveals induction of both MUC2 and MUC5AC mRNA levels by retinoids

Quantitation of mucin RNA by PCR reveals induction of both MUC2 and MUC5AC mRNA levels by retinoids METHODS Cell culture.

Abstract

METHODS Cell culture. NHTBE cells from passage 2 were grown on collagen gel-coated Transwell clear membranes (Costar, Cambridge, MA) in serum-free media containing various supplements, including 0.5 rig/ml epidermal growth factor, as previously described (6). The retinoid used was 5 X 10es M all trans-retinoic acid (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), unless otherwise indicated. In some experiments, retinol (Sigma) was used at 5 x lO-7 M RNA pzkfication. Total RNA was isolated from day 14 NHTBE cell cultures using Tri-Reagent (Molecular Research Center, Cincinnati, OH). Quality the RNA was assessed by electrophoresis 1 yg RNA on a 1.5% agarose gel containing 6.6% formaldehyde. Ethidium bromide was added to the RNA sample before loading on the gel to allow visualization the RNA. Total RNA from human tissues was obtained from Clontech (Palo Alto, CA). RTPCR.
