Abstract

This study aimed to study the application availability of RT-qPCR by total RNA extraction from small volumes of milk samples. RNA was extracted from 7,5 mL milk. Amount and quality of RNA and Ct results obtained via RT-qPCR were compared with the values obtained from 100 mL milk. A260/A280 ratio of absorbance was found to be higher than 1,70 in all samples. Mean RNA purity were identified as 1,87±0,07 and 1,77±0,01 in 7,5 mL and 100 mL milk samples respectively. While mean total RNA concentration was 149,37±43,40 µg/mL in 7,5 mL milk sample, it was measured to be 309,03±77,82 µg/mL in 100 mL milk sample. Mean somatic cell count (SCC) of the 8 goats used in the study was calculated as 486,37±185,68 x 103 cells/mL. Ribosomal Protein Lateral Stalk Subunit P0 (RPLP0) gene which is accepted as the reference gene in goat somatic cells was used to test application availability of obtained RNA in RT-qPCR. Mean Ct results were found to be 20,33±0,39 and 19,51±0,41 in 7,5 mL and 100 mL groups respectively, creating no difference between the two groups (P = 0,170). Quality and amount of obtained RNA and Ct results showed that it was possible to extract RNA by using 7,5 mL milk

Abstract

Bu çalışmada küçük hacimlerdeki süt örneklerinden total RNA izolasyonu yapılarak, RT-qPCR çalışmalarının yapılabilirliğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için 7,5 mL sütten RNA izole edilmiş; RNA miktarı, kalitesi ve RT-qPCR’dan elde edilen Ct sonuçları 100 mL sütten elde edilen değerlerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Kullanılan bütün örneklerde A260/A280 absorbans oranı 1,70’ten büyük, RNA saflığının ortalaması 7,5 mL örnek grubunda 1,87±0,07, 100 mL örnek grubunda 1,77±0,01 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Total RNA konsantrasyonunun ortalaması 7,5 mL örnek grubunda 149,37±43,40 µg/mL iken, 100 mL örnek grubunda 309,03±77,82 µg/mL olarak ölçülmüştür. Kullanılan 8 keçinin somatik hücre sayısının (SCC) ortalaması ise 486,37±185,68 x 103olarak hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen RNA’ların RT-qPCR’da kullanılabilirliğini test etmek için keçi süt somatik hücrelerinde referans gen olarak kabul edilen Ribosomal Protein Lateral Stalk Subunit P0 (RPLP0) geni kullanılmıştır. 7,5 mL grubunda Ct sonuçlarının ortalaması 20,33±0,39, 100 mL grubunda 19,51±0,41 olarak bulunmuş olup, iki grup arasında bir fark oluşmamıştır (P=0,170). Elde edilen RNA’nın miktarı, kalitesi ve Ct sonuçları 7,5 mL süt kullanılarak da RNA izolasyonu yapılabileceğini göstermiştir
