Protocols

PAGE protocol

  1. Make 20% polyacrylamide gel.

  7. Make another gel box and prepare double gel boxes.
  8. Set up a tub for electrophoresis.
  9. Set double gel boxes and pour 1x TBE running buffer into the tub (upper tub’s buffer is new running buffer, and lower tub’s buffer is recycle buffer).
  10. Incline the tub to remove bubbles under gels.
  11. Clear wells of the gel by pipette to remove unharden gel solution.
  12. Connect the tub to a power source.
  13. Pre-run at specified voltage (250V or 300V) for 20 minutes.
  14. Clear wells of the gel by pipette again.
  15. Load wells with sample solution 5ul.(sample 3ul + 2x BPB solution 3ul = sample solution 6ul)
  16. Run at specified voltage (250V or 300V) for specified time (50 minutes)
  17. Put the gels into a cyber gold solution taper.(SYBR-Gold solution: 10000x cyber gold 20ul + MilliQ water 200ml)
  18. Shake the taper by hand for 10 minutes.(using used cyber gold solution, shake for 15 or 20 minutes)
  19. Take out the gels.
  20. Spot blue light to observe the gel.
  21. Take pictures through an orange filter by camera.

How to make samples for electrophoresis

DNA ciliate

  1. Make this solution A in the 0.6ml tube
    50mM ZnSO4 2μL
    5x SSC buffer 2ul
    (To check the enzyme activity for deoxyribozyme, remember to make the following solution B because deoxyribozyme activity requires Zn2+.)
    MilliQ water 2ul
    5x SSC buffer 2ul
  2. Prepare DNA ciliate solution and centrifuge (15000rpm, 1minute) to make precipitation (DNA ciliate solution)
  3. Vacuum the precipitation 1.5~3.0 ul by pipette and put into the solutions (A and B)
  4. Mass up solutions to 8.5 ul by MilliQ water
  5. Pour 2uM substrate DNA 1.5ul into the solutions to start reaction
  6. React for 10~15 hours
  7. Stop deoxyribozyme reaction by 250mM EDTA 2.5ul to reaction solutions
  8. Mix by vortex
  9. Put the tube onto heating block (80°C) for 1 minute to separate substrate DNA from deoxyribozime DNA
  10. Centrifuge (15000rpm,1minute) to make precipitation
  11. Put the tube onto heating block (80°C) for 1 minute to separate substrate DNA from deoxyribozime DNA
  12. Vacuum the supernatant 3ul by pipette and put into 0.6ul tubes for samples
  13. Finish making samples(sample A is enzyme active sample, sample B is enzyme inactive sample)

negative control and positive control

  • Positive control
  1. Making the following solution.
    MilliQ water 3ul
    5x SSC 2ul
    Deoxyribozyme DNA 1.5ul
    Substrate DNA 1.5ul
    50mM ZnSO4 2ul
  2. Mix by vortex
  3. Vacuum 3ul by pipette and put into 0.6ul tubes for samples
  4. Finish making positive control
  • Negative control
  1. Making the following solution.
    MilliQ water 5ul
    5x SSC 2ul
    Deoxyribozyme DNA 1.5ul
    Substrate DNA 1.5ul
  2. Mix by vortex
  3. Vacuum 3ul by pipette and put into 0.6ul tubes for samples
  4. Finish making negative control


How to make DNA ciliate by EDC and NHS

  1. Put 200ul of 2.5% polystyrene beads solution(1)) into a 1.5ml tube.
  2. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  3. Put 200ul PBS buffer (pH 8.0) into the tube, and disperse the beads by pipetting or vortex mixer.
  4. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  5. Repeat 3, 4 for three times to displace the solvent to PBS buffer.
  6. Put 800ul PBS buffer (pH 8.0) into the tube, and disperse the beads.
  7. Put 200ul of 1M NHS solution(2)) into the tube, and mix with vortex mixer.
  8. Put 0.0384g EDC-HCl into the tube, and mix with vortex mixer to dissolve.
  9. React beads with NHS and EDC-HCl solution using vortex mixer for an hour.
  10. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  11. Put 200ul PBS buffer (pH 8.0) into the tube and disperse the beads by pipetting or vortex mixer.
  12. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  13. Repeat 11, 12 for three times(3)) to displace the solvent to PBS buffer.
  14. Put 8ul of 50uM DNA solution(4)) into the tube, and mix by pipetting.
  15. React beads with DNA solution using the micro tube rotator for more than 2 hours.
  16. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  17. Put 200ul of 0.2% SDS solution into the tube, and mix by pipetting and vortex mixer.
  18. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  19. Put 200ul of 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer into the tube, and disperse the beads by pipetting or vortex mixer.
  20. Centrifuge the tube for 1minute at 15,000rpm, and then remove the supernatant.
  21. Repeat 19, 20 for three times(3)) to displace the solvent to 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer.
  22. Put 200ul of 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer into the tube, and mix with vortex mixer.
  23. React beads with Tris-HCl buffer using the micro tube rotator for an hour.
  24. Keep the tube in refrigerator (4°C)

Notes

  • (1)The density of polystyrene beads is about 1.1g/ml, so 200ul of 2.5% polystyrene beads solution contains about 5mg polystyrene beads.
  • (2)Prepare 1M NHS solution by dissolving 0.023g NHS in 200ul PBS buffer(pH 8.0).
  • (3)This process should be done quickly because NHS can be easily hydrolyzed.


How to make DNA ciliate by EDAC

We used "PolyLink Protein Coupling Kit for COOH Microspheres" in this protocol.
  1. Pipet 12.5mg of micro-beads into a 1.5mL tube.
  2. Pellet the micro-beads via centrifugation for 5-10 minutes at approximately 500-1000 xG.
  3. Resuspend micro-beads pellet in 0.4ml of Polylink Coupling Buffer.
  4. Pellet again via centrifugation for 5-10 minutes at approximately 500-1000 G.
  5. Resuspend the micro-beads pellet in 0.17ml of Polylink Coupling Buffer.

  4. Hybridize for 1h.(45°C)
  5. Cool Petri dish for 30 min at room temp.
  6. Wash the glass into the 5×SSC buffer of about 5mm.
  7. Wash the glass into the 1×SSC buffer of about 5mm twice.
  8. Observe the glass filled 1×SSC buffer.

Micromachining for polyformaldehyde(acetal)-resin protocol

  1. Cut polyacetal-resin at the size of slide with an electric saw.
  2. Boot up the micro fine machining center.(Model Number: Roland MODELA MDX-40A)
    Unlock the emergency button.
    Push the power button.
    Get the computer to start up which is attached to micro fine machining center.
    Execute the software of ClickMill and Vpanel.(ClickMill is the software which designates micro-channel’s shape. And Vpanel is the software which set the position of the endmill. )
  3. Fix polyacetal-resin on the base of micro fine machining center.
  4. Attach the 1mm diameter endmill to micro fine machining center.
  5. Set X, Y, and Z origins by using Vpanel.
  6. Cut polyacetal-resin by using Vpanel if necessary.
  7. Do face milling. (Do face milling means flatten the polyacetal-resin by endmill)
  8. Change the endmill which adjusts to the micro-channel’s width.(If micro-channel’s width is more than 10um, you don’t need to change endmill. If micro-channel’s width is between 50 um and 100 um, you should change to the endmill which diameter is 0.5um. Don’t make micro channel whose width is less than 50 um because it is difficult to carve exactly.
  9. Make micro-channel according to the drawing. The roughly shape of micro-channel is the Figure-1.
  10. After carving, remove polyacetal-resin by using isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
  11. Observe micro-channel by using an optical microscope.
Figure-1:The roughly shape of micro-channel

PDMS Mold Preparation Protcol

  1. Before you begin this experimentation, you must sterilize the experiment stand.
  2. Prepare PDMS, curing agent, electronic weigh and plastic tube which volume is 50ml.
  3. Determine 1/10th measurement of the amount of PDMS used and pipette curing agent to the plastic tube.
  4. Mix PDMS and curing agent about 10 minutes.
  5. Try not to have almost all bubbles in the PDMS by using vacuum desiccators on 30 minutes to one hour.
  6. After you check no bubble, apply the PDMS to the sample mold. The sample mold is made by polyacetal.
  7. Try not to have any bubbles in the PDMS by using vacuum desiccators on 30mimutes again.
  8. Prepare to use heater. (Switch on a heater.)
  9. Bake PDMS on the heater for 1 hour at 75°C.
  10. After heating it, cool it to room temperature.
  11. Remove fully cured PDMS samples from heater
  12. Cut PDMS along micro channel.

  • PDMS=Polydimethylsiloxane
  • PDMS and curing agent we used is Silpot 184
