Webinar 4: Functional Analysis of miRNA

Absolute quantification
Absolute input copies, based on a standard curve
Relative quantification
Comparative CT method: also known as the 2-CT method
Selection of internal control
Selection of calibrator (e.g., untreated control or normal
sample)
Assumes that the PCR efficiency of the target gene is
similar to the internal control gene (and that the efficiency
of the PCR is close to 100%)
Fold change = 2-CT
CT = 23.8
CT = CTGene - CTNormalizer
CT = CT (sample 2) CT (sample 1) where sample 1
is the control sample and sample 2 is the experimental
sample

Normalizer (RNU6-2)
Normal CT = 16
Tumor CT = 14
Analysis
1. Calculate CT for each condition (i.e., normalize your miRNA CT values)
2.
3.
4.
Normal: 21 16 = 5
Tumor: 15 14 = 1
Calculate fold-regulation
If the fold-change is greater than 1, the result may be reported as a fold upregulation
38
Normalizer (RNU6-2)
Normal CT = 16
Tumor CT = 14
Analysis
1. Calculate CT for each condition (i.e. normalize your miRNA CT values)
2.
3.
4.
Normal: 15 16 = 1
Tumor: 16 14 = 2
Calculate fold-regulation:
If the fold-change is less than 1, the negative inverse of the result may be reported as a fold
downregulation (1 / 0.125 = 8)
