Résumé
Non-coding RNAs participate in most cellular processes and play a causative role in several diseases. In addition to their relevance as targets or tools for therapy, ncRNAs have been extensively detected in body fluids supporting their role as easily accessible and minimally invasive biomarkers. However, the precise measurement of circulating ncRNAs remains challenging due to their low abundance and the heterogeneity of the ncRNA population (size, polyadenylation status, circular forms). Microarrays constitute a very powerful method to analyze the expression level and the splicing pattern of circulating ncRNAs since they preserve sample integrity (no need to remove globin or rRNA) and allow precise quantification of low-abundance transcripts (no limitation by read depth). This chapter describes the protocols used in our lab to extract and purify total RNAs from PAXgene RNA Blood Tubes and to perform RNA labeling and hybridization on the Clariom™ D microarrays from Affymetrix.
