MicroRNA expression detected by RNA oligonucleotide hybridization

Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, November 9th, 2006

Recent research from the United States has reported that mammalian microRNA (miRNA) expression is detected by in situ hybridization with RNA oligonucleotides.

"We have developed an in situ hybridization procedure for the detection of miRNAs in tissue sections from mouse embryos and adult organs. The method uses highly specific washing conditions for RNA oligonucleotide probes conjugated to a fluorescein hapten," wrote M. Deo and colleagues, University of Michigan.

"We show that this method detects predominantly mature miRNAs rather than the miRNA precursors or primary transcripts. We have determined expression patterns for several miRNAs expressed in...
