ABSTRACT Although the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis is an emerging model organism for molecular studies in a wide variety of fields, there are a limited number of verified endogenous control genes for use in quantitative real-time PCR. As part of a larger study on snail chirality, or left–right asymmetry, we assayed gene expression in pond snail embryos. We evaluated six candidate control genes, by comparing their expression in three tissues (ovotestis, foot and embryo) and used three software programmes (geNorm, Normfinder and Bestkeeper) to do so. The specific utility of these control genes was then tested by investigating the relative expression of six experimental transcripts, including formin Ldia2, a gene that has been associated with chiral variation in L. stagnalis. All six control genes were found to be suitable for use in the three tissues tested. Of the six experimental genes, it was found that all were relatively depleted in the early embryo compared with other tissues, except the formin Ldia2 gene. Instead, transcripts of the wild-type Ldia2dex were enriched in the embryo, whereas a nonfunctional frameshifted version, Ldia2sin, was severely depleted. These differences in Ldia2sin expression were less evident in the ovotestis and were not evident in the foot tissue, possibly because nonsense-mediated decay is obscured in actively transcribing tissues. Our work provides a set of control genes that may be useful to the wider community and illustrates how these genes may be used to assay differences in expression in a variety of tissues.

Background: Lymphoma is a neoplasm of hematopoietic origin that affects canines. The proper establishment of prognosis and rapid institution of treatment are essential for a better quality of life, and immunophenotyping is one of the tools used for this purpose. The objective of this study was to perform a clonality test for immunophenotypic characterization of canine lymphomas using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for antigen receptor rearrangements (PARR) technique in real-time from samples fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin.Materials, Methods & Results: The 23 analyzed samples were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin canine lymphoma from the Collection Laboratory of Histopathology of the Animal Pathology Area of the Departament of Veterinary Medicine - Federal Rural University of Pernambuco UFRPE. Samples were processed, their DNA was extracted, quantified, diluted, and standardized at a concentration of 50 ng/µL. After extraction, all samples were subjected to conventional PCR for endogenous control (detection of the IgM target region), in which the extracted DNA was amplified in a final volume of 25 µL. The 128 bp amplified product was detected by 1.5% agarose gel electrophoresis. Of the 23 samples analyzed for the detection of the conserved region referring to the endogenous gene, 91.30% (21/23) amplified the conserved region Cµ by conventional PCR, and two samples 8.70% (2/23) were negative. Endogenous control positive samples were subjected to real-time PCR-PARR for detection of IgH Major (LB), IgH Minor (LB), and TCRγ (LT) target regions. All reactions were performed in duplicate to reduce the risk of false-positive or false-negative results due to technical errors. Samples previously confirmed by immunohistochemistry were used as positive controls for T cell and B cell lymphoma, and MilliQ water was used as a negative control. After amplification, the melting curve gradually increased the temperature by 1C/5 s to 95C during continuous fluorescence monitoring. Of the 21 samples analyzed, 100.00% (21/21) demonstrated clonal amplification. Of these, 57.15% (12/21) were positive for phenotype B, and 42.85% (9/21) were positive for phenotype T.Discussion: Due to the importance of researching and confirming samples from files fixed and embedded in paraffin samples in laboratories, PCR-PARR is a good tool for this purpose. In the present study, real-time PCR analysis demonstrated greater sensitivity in the characterization of the immunophenotype of lymphomas from old samples fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. The temperature of melting curve analysismay vary depending on the amount of DNA and its quality. In the present study, it was found that the average melting temperature in the samples varied between ± 3C when compared to that in the control sample for LB and LT, 83.5C and 80C, respectively: in the literature, there is a relative difference in this temperature, which may vary up to 4C. Real-time PCR-PARR was satisfactory in the characterization of the immunophenotype of canine lymphomas from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples; therefore, its use is recommended for both retrospective studies. The use of PCR-PARR associated with histopathological and/or cytopathological examination in cases of canine lymphomas strongly helps pathologists, provide a safe establishment of the immunophenotype, minimize errors, and optimize the diagnosis, thus directly contributing to the establishment of the prognosis.Keywords: immunophenotyping, lymphoproliferative disease, real-time PCR, TCRγ, IgH.

ABSTRACTAlthough the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis is an emerging model organism for molecular studies in a wide variety of fields including development, biomineralisation and neurophysiology, there are a limited number of verified endogenous control genes for use in quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). As part of larger study on snail chirality or left-right asymmetry, we wished to assay relative gene expression in pond snail embryos, so we evaluated six new candidate control genes, by comparing their expression in three tissues (ovotestis, foot, and embryo) and across three programs (geNorm, Normfinder and Bestkeeper). The specific utility of these control genes was then tested by investigating the relative expression of six experimental transcripts, including the formin Ldia2, a gene that has been associated with chirality in L. stagnalis. All six control genes were found to be suitable for use. Of the six experimental genes that were tested, it was found that all were relatively depleted in the early embryo compared with other tissues, except the formin gene Ldia2. Instead, transcripts of the wild type Ldia2dex were enriched in the embryo, whereas a non-functional frameshifted version Ldia2sin was severely depleted. These differences in Ldia2sin expression were less evident in the ovotestis and not evident in the foot tissue, suggesting that nonsense-mediated decay may be obscured in actively transcribing tissues. This work therefore provides a set of control genes that may be useful to the wider community, and shows how they may be used to assay differences in expression in the early embryo.
