Die in situ Hybridisierung hier skizzierten erlaubt die direkte Visualisierung der räumlich-zeitlichen Expressionsmuster von jedem Gen von Interesse mit großer zellulärer Auflösung, hohe Sensitivität und Spezifität. Das Protokoll erlaubt keine quantitativen Vergleich der Expression von Genen. Allerdings kann die Methode eine hohe Empfindlichkeit und Auflösung Gradienten der Genexpression innerhalb eines Gewebes 8, 18, ​​die nicht mit den meisten anderen Methoden zur Analyse der Genexpression möglich aufzudecken. Das Protokoll umfasst viele Schritte, die machen die Fehlersuche problematisch sein kann. Die wichtigsten Schritte des Protokolls sind die Fixierung des Gewebes sowie die Auswahl und Markierung der Sonde. Schlecht infiltrierten Gewebe und Sonden mit geringen DIG Einbau wird Ausbeute sehr schwachen Signalen, die schwer zu obigen Hintergrund erkennen kann. Für jedes neue Gen von Interesse, ist es ratsam, ein paar verschiedene Sonden, die aus verschie abgeleitet versuchenmieten Regionen der Niederschrift. Gelegentlich können auch zwei oder drei Sonden gezielt verschiedene kleinere Regionen des Gens müssen kombiniert werden, um eine starke und spezifische Hybridisierung Signal zu erhalten. Darüber hinaus sind die Hybridisierungsbedingungen, wie die Temperatur und die Zusammensetzung der Hybridisierungspuffer, kann für jedes Gen oder Gewebe zu senken oder erhöhen Sie die Hybridisierungsstringenz optimiert werden. Auch die Protease-Behandlung Schritt ist eine Variable und kann geändert werden, um das Protokoll für die verschiedenen Pflanzenarten oder für die Detektion von Transkripten mit sehr geringer Menge anzupassen. Die Einbeziehung sowohl positive als auch negative Kontrolle Sonden wird hilfreich sein bei der Identifizierung von problematischen Punkte des Protokolls. Das Verfahren ist für Paraffin eingebettete Gewebeschnitte Anlage optimiert, sondern mit geringfügigen Modifikationen auch für Ganzkörper-Mount verwendet werden in-situ-Hybridisierung. Obwohl häufig in Tierversuchen 19, whole mount in situ Hybridisierung verwendet werden l werdenimited zu pflanzlichen Geweben, die leicht infiltriert werden können, wie Embryonen, Wurzeln oder jungen meristematischen Gewebe 20,21. Das Protokoll kann auch leicht modifiziert werden, um gleichzeitig zu erkennen zwei verschiedene mRNAs oder lokalisieren Transkripte neben Proteinen 15,22,23. Schließlich ist es möglich, die Anwendung dieser Methode auf die Visualisierung von kleinen RNA-Expression in Pflanzen zu erweitern. miRNA-Expressionsmuster wurden anhand dieses Protokoll in beide Mais und Arabidopsis 8,14. In jüngerer Zeit haben die in vitro transkribiert Sonden ersetzt worden handelsüblichen DIG-markierten Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) Oligo Probes mit Zunahme Signalempfindlichkeit 18, 24.

in situ hybridization for the precise localization of transcripts in plants

Mit den Fortschritten in der Genomforschung der letzten zehn Jahre hat Pflanzenbiologie zahlreiche Studien präsentiert großflächige quantitative Analysen der Genexpression zu sehen. Microarray und Sequenzierung der nächsten Generation Ansätze werden verwendet, um entwicklungsbedingten, physiologischen und Stress-Antwort-Prozesse zu erforschen, zu sezieren epigenetischen und kleine RNA Wege und bauen große Genregulationsnetzwerken 1-3. Während diese Techniken die gleichzeitige Analyse von großen Gen-Sets zu erleichtern, sie bieten in der Regel eine sehr begrenzte raum-zeitlichen Auflösung von Veränderungen der Genexpression. Diese Beschränkung kann teilweise entweder mit Profiling-Methode in Verbindung mit lasermicrodissection oder Fluoreszenz-activated cell sorting 4-7 überwunden werden. Doch das Verständnis der biologischen Rolle eines Gens, ist das Wissen um seine raum-zeitliche Muster der Expression auf zellulärer Auflösung von wesentlicher Bedeutung. Insbesondere bei der Untersuchung der Entwicklung oder die Auswirkungen von Umwelt-stimuli und Mutanten können die detaillierte Analyse eines Gens Expressionsmuster unverzichtbar geworden. Zum Beispiel können subtile quantitative Unterschiede in der Expression von wichtigen regulatorischen Genen zu dramatischen Phänotypen führen, wenn mit dem Verlust oder Gewinn des Ausdrucks in bestimmten Zelltypen assoziiert. Verschiedene Methoden werden routinemäßig für die detaillierte Untersuchung der Genexpression verwendet. Man ist durch die Analyse von transgenen Reporter Linien. Eine solche Analyse kann jedoch zu zeitaufwändig bei der Analyse mehrerer Gene oder arbeiten in Pflanzen widerspenstigen zur Transformation. Darüber hinaus ist eine unabhängige Validierung, um sicherzustellen, dass die Transgenexpression Muster, das aus dem endogenen Gen imitiert in der Regel erforderlich. Immunhistochemische Proteinlokalisierung oder mRNA in situ Hybridisierung Gegenwart relativ schnell Alternativen für die direkte Visualisierung der Genexpression in Zellen und Geweben. Letzteres hat den entscheidenden Vorteil, dass es leicht sein kann used auf jedem Gen von Interesse. In-situ-Hybridisierung ermöglicht den Nachweis von Ziel-mRNAs in den Zellen durch Hybridisierung mit einer markierten anti-sense RNA-Sonde durch in vitro Transkription des Gens von Interesse erzielt. Hier skizzieren wir ein Protokoll für die in situ-Lokalisierung der Genexpression in den Pflanzen, die hoch Sensitivität und Spezifität wird. Es ist für die Verwendung mit Paraformaldehyd fixiert, in Paraffin eingebetteten Abschnitte, die hervorragende Erhaltung der Histologie zu geben, und DIG-markierten Sonden, visualisiert durch Immun-Detektion und alkalischer Phosphatase kolorimetrische Reaktion optimiert werden. Dieses Protokoll wurde erfolgreich an einer Reihe von Geweben aus einer breiten Palette von Pflanzenarten angewendet wird, und kann verwendet werden, um die Expression von mRNAs sowie kleine RNAs 8-14 analysieren.

Double Whole Mount in situ Hybridization of Early Chick Embryos

The chick embryo is a valuable tool in the study of early embryonic development. Its transparency, accessibility and ease of manipulation, make it an ideal tool for studying  gene expression in brain, neural tube, somite and heart primordia formation. This video demonstrates the different steps in 2-color whole mount in situ hybridization; First, the embryo is dissected from the egg and fixed in paraformaldehyde. Second, the embryo is processed for prehybridization. The embryo is then hybridized with two different probes, one coupled to DIG, and one coupled to FITC.  Following overnight hybridization, the embryo is incubated with DIG coupled antibody. Color reaction for DIG substrate is performed, and the region of interest appears blue. The embryo is then incubated with FITC coupled antibody. The embryo is processed for color reaction with FITC, and the region of interest appears red. Finally, the embryo is fixed and processed for phtograph and sectioning. A troubleshooting guide is also presented.

This video demonstrates 2-color whole mount in situ hybridization, a method by which the spatial and temporal expression pattern of 2 different genes can be visualized in young chick embryos. This method was originally introduced by David Wilkinson, Domingos Henrique, Phil Ingham and David Ish -Horowicz.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) Protocol in Human Sperm

Aneuploidies are the most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in humans. Most of these abnormalities result from meiotic errors during the gametogenic process in the parents. In human males, these errors can lead to the production of spermatozoa with numerical chromosome abnormalities which represent an increased risk of transmitting these anomalies to the offspring.
For this reason, the technique of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on sperm nuclei has become a protocol widely incorporated in the context of clinical diagnosis. This practice provides an estimate of the frequencies of numerical chromosome abnormalities in the gametes of the patients that seek for genetic reproductive advice.
To date, the chromosomes most frequently included in sperm FISH analysis are chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21.
This video-article describes, step by step, how to process and fix a human semen sample, how to decondense and denature the sperm chromatin, how to proceed to obtain sperm FISH preparations, and how to visualize the results at the microscope. Special remarks of the most relevant steps are given to achieve the best results.

Radioactive in situ Hybridization for Detecting Diverse Gene Expression Patterns in Tissue

Knowing the timing, level, cellular localization, and cell type that a gene is expressed in contributes to our understanding of the function of the gene. Each of these features can be accomplished with in situ hybridization to mRNAs within cells. Here we present a radioactive in situ hybridization method modified from Clayton et al. (1988)1 that has been working successfully in our lab for many years, especially for adult vertebrate brains2-5. The long complementary RNA (cRNA) probes to the target sequence allows for detection of low abundance transcripts6,7. Incorporation of radioactive nucleotides into the cRNA probes allows for further detection sensitivity of low abundance transcripts and quantitative analyses, either by light sensitive x-ray film or emulsion coated over the tissue. These detection methods provide a long-term record of target gene expression. Compared with non-radioactive probe methods, such as DIG-labeling, the radioactive probe hybridization method does not require multiple amplification steps using HRP-antibodies and/or TSA kit to detect low abundance transcripts. Therefore, this method provides a linear relation between signal intensity and targeted mRNA amounts for quantitative analysis. It allows processing 100-200 slides simultaneously. It works well for different developmental stages of embryos. Most developmental studies of gene expression use whole embryos and non-radioactive approaches8,9, in part because embryonic tissue is more fragile than adult tissue, with less cohesion between cells, making it difficult to see boundaries between cell populations with tissue sections. In contrast, our radioactive approach, due to the larger range of sensitivity, is able to obtain higher contrast in resolution of gene expression between tissue regions, making it easier to see boundaries between populations. Using this method, researchers could reveal the possible significance of a newly identified gene, and further predict the function of the gene of interest.

Radioactive in situ Hybridization for Detecting Diverse Gene Expression Patterns in Tissue

This protocol is successfully used to quantitatively detect levels and spatial patterns of mRNA expression in multiple tissue types across vertebrate species. The method can detect low abundance transcripts and allows processing of hundreds of slides simultaneously. We present this protocol using expression profiling of avian embryonic brain formation as an example.

Detection of Viral RNA by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH)

Viruses that infect cells elicit specific changes to normal cell functions which serve to divert energy and resources for viral replication. Many aspects of host cell function are commandeered by viruses, usually by the expression of viral gene products that recruit host cell proteins and machineries. Moreover, viruses engineer specific membrane organelles or tag on to mobile vesicles and motor proteins to target regions of the cell (during de novo infection, viruses co-opt molecular motor proteins to target the nucleus; later, during virus assembly, they will hijack cellular machineries that will help in the assembly of viruses). Less is understood on how viruses, in particular those with RNA genomes, coordinate the intracellular trafficking of both protein and RNA components and how they achieve assembly of infectious particles at specific loci in the cell. The study of RNA localization began in earlier work. Developing lower eukaryotic embryos and neuronal cells provided important biological information, and also underscored the importance of RNA localization in the programming of gene expression cascades. The study in other organisms and cell systems has yielded similar important information. Viruses are obligate parasites and must utilise their host cells to replicate. Thus, it is critical to understand how RNA viruses direct their RNA genomes from the nucleus, through the nuclear pore, through the cytoplasm and on to one of its final destinations, into progeny virus particles 1.
FISH serves as a useful tool to identify changes in steady-state localization of viral RNA. When combined with immunofluorescence (IF) analysis 22, FISH/IF co-analyses will provide information on the co-localization of proteins with the viral RNA3. This analysis therefore provides a good starting point to test for RNA-protein interactions by other biochemical or biophysical tests 4,5, since co-localization by itself is not enough evidence to be certain of an interaction. In studying viral RNA localization using a method like this, abundant information has been gained on both viral and cellular RNA trafficking events 6. For instance, HIV-1 produces RNA in the nucleus of infected cells but the RNA is only translated in the cytoplasm. When one key viral protein is missing (Rev) 7, FISH of the viral RNA has revealed that the block to viral replication is due to the retention of the HIV-1 genomic RNA in the nucleus 8. 
Here, we present the method for visual analysis of viral genomic RNA in situ. The method makes use of a labelled RNA probe. This probe is designed to be complementary to the viral genomic RNA. During the in vitro synthesis of the antisense RNA probe, the ribonucleotide that is modified with digoxigenin (DIG) is included in an in vitro transcription reaction. Once the probe has hybridized to the target mRNA in cells, subsequent antibody labelling steps (Figure 1) will reveal the localization of the mRNA as well as proteins of interest when performing FISH/IF.

Detection of Viral RNA by Fluorescence in situ Hybridization FISH

A fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method was developed to visually detect viral genomic RNA using fluorescence microscopy. A probe is made with specificity to the viral RNA that can then be identified using a combination of hybridization and immunofluorescence techniques. This technique offers the advantage of identifying the localization of the viral RNA or DNA at steady-state, providing information on the control of intracellular virus trafficking events.

Whole Mount RNA Fluorescent in situ Hybridization of Drosophila Embryos

Assessing the expression pattern of a gene, as well as the subcellular localization properties of its transcribed RNA, are key features for understanding its biological function during development. RNA in situ hybridization (RNA-ISH) is a powerful method used for visualizing RNA distribution properties, be it at the organismal, cellular or subcellular levels 1. RNA-ISH is based on the hybridization of a labeled nucleic acid probe (e.g. antisense RNA, oligonucleotides) complementary to the sequence of an mRNA or a non-coding RNA target of interest 2. As the procedure requires primary sequence information alone to generate sequence-specific probes, it can be universally applied to a broad range of organisms and tissue specimens 3. Indeed, a number of large-scale ISH studies have been implemented to document gene expression and RNA localization dynamics in various model organisms, which has led to the establishment of important community resources 4-11. While a variety of probe labeling and detection strategies have been developed over the years, the combined usage of fluorescently-labeled detection reagents and enzymatic signal amplification steps offer significant enhancements in the sensitivity and resolution of the procedure 12. Here, we describe an optimized fluorescent in situ hybridization method (FISH) employing tyramide signal amplification (TSA) to visualize RNA expression and localization dynamics in staged Drosophila embryos. The procedure is carried out in 96-well PCR plate format, which greatly facilitates the simultaneous processing of large numbers of samples.

Visualization and Analysis of mRNA Molecules Using Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The Fluorescence in situ Hybridization (FISH) method allows one to detect nucleic acids in the native cellular environment. Here we provide a protocol for using FISH to quantify the number of mRNAs in single yeast cells. Cells can be grown in any condition of interest and then fixed and made permeable. Subsequently, multiple single-stranded deoxyoligonucleotides conjugated to fluorescent dyes are used to label and visualize mRNAs. Diffraction-limited fluorescence from single mRNA molecules is quantified using a spot-detection algorithm to identify and count the number of mRNAs per cell. While the more standard quantification methods of northern blots, RT-PCR and gene expression microarrays provide information on average mRNAs in the bulk population, FISH facilitates both the counting and localization of these mRNAs in single cells at single-molecule resolution.

MicroRNA In situ Hybridization for Formalin Fixed Kidney Tissues

In this article we describe a method for colorimetric detection of miRNA in the kidney through in situ hybridization with digoxigenin tagged microRNA probes. This protocol, originally developed by Kloosterman and colleagues for broad use with Exiqon miRNA probes1, has been modified to overcome challenges inherent in miRNA analysis in kidney tissues. These include issues such as structure identification and hard to remove residual probe and antibody. Use of relatively thin, 5 mm thick, tissue sections allowed for clear visualization of kidney structures, while a strong probe signal was retained in cells. Additionally, probe concentration and incubation conditions were optimized to facilitate visualization of microRNA expression with low background and nonspecific signal. Here, the optimized protocol is described, covering the initial tissue collection and preparation through the mounting of slides at the end of the procedure. The basic components of this protocol can be altered for application to other tissues and cell culture models.

Simple Method for Fluorescence DNA In Situ Hybridization to Squashed Chromosomes

DNA in situ hybridization (DNA ISH) is a commonly used method for mapping sequences to specific chromosome regions. This approach is particularly effective at mapping highly repetitive sequences to heterochromatic regions, where computational approaches face prohibitive challenges. Here we describe a streamlined protocol for DNA ISH that circumvents formamide washes that are standard steps in other DNA ISH protocols. Our protocol is optimized for hybridization with short single strand DNA probes that carry fluorescent dyes, which effectively mark repetitive DNA sequences within heterochromatic chromosomal regions across a number of different insect tissue types. However, applications may be extended to use with larger probes and visualization of single copy (non-repetitive) DNA sequences. We demonstrate this method by mapping several different repetitive sequences to squashed chromosomes from Drosophila melanogaster neural cells and Nasonia vitripennis spermatocytes. We show hybridization patterns for both small, commercially synthesized probes and for a larger probe for comparison. This procedure uses simple laboratory supplies and reagents, and is ideal for investigators who have little experience with performing DNA ISH.

A Whole Mount In Situ Hybridization Method for the Gastropod Mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis

Whole mount in situ hybridization (WMISH) is a technique that allows for the spatial resolution of nucleic acid molecules (often mRNAs) within a &#39;whole mount&#39; tissue preparation, or developmental stage (such as an embryo or larva) of interest. WMISH is extremely powerful because it can significantly contribute to the functional characterization of complex metazoan genomes, a challenge that is becoming more of a bottleneck with the deluge of next generation sequence data. Despite the conceptual simplicity of the technique much time is often needed to optimize the various parameters inherent to WMISH experiments for novel model systems; subtle differences in the cellular and biochemical properties between tissue types and developmental stages mean that a single WMISH method may not be appropriate for all situations. We have developed a set of WMISH methods for the re-emerging gastropod model Lymnaea stagnalis that generate consistent and clear WMISH signals for a range of genes, and across all developmental stages. These methods include the assignment of larvae of unknown chronological age to an ontogenetic window, the efficient removal of embryos and larvae from their egg capsules, the application of an appropriate Proteinase-K treatment for each ontogenetic window, and hybridization, post-hybridization and immunodetection steps. These methods provide a foundation from which the resulting signal for a given RNA transcript can be further refined with probe specific adjustments (primarily probe concentration and hybridization temperature).

Method for Labeling Transcripts in Individual Escherichia coli Cells for Single-molecule Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization Experiments

A method is described for labeling individual messenger RNA (mRNA) transcripts in fixed bacteria for use in single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) experiments in E. coli. smFISH allows the measurement of cell-to-cell variability in mRNA copy number of genes of interest, as well as the subcellular location of the transcripts. The main steps involved are fixation of the bacterial cell culture, permeabilization of cell membranes, and hybridization of the target transcripts with sets of commercially available short fluorescently-labeled oligonucleotide probes. smFISH can allow the imaging of the transcripts of multiple genes in the same cell, with limitations imposed by the spectral overlap between different fluorescent markers. Following completion of the protocol illustrated below, cells can be readily imaged using a microscope coupled with a camera suitable for low-intensity fluorescence. These images, together with cell contours obtained from segmentation of phase contrast frames, or from cell membrane staining, allow the calculation of the mRNA copy number distribution of a sample of cells using open-source or custom-written software. The labeling method described here can also be applied to image transcripts with stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM).
