Resumo

Objective of work: The aim of this study was to compare three methods of RNA extraction for molecular analysis of oral cytology to establish the best technique, considering its concentration and purity for molecular tests of oral lesions such as real-time reverse transcriptase reaction. Material and methods: The sample included exfoliative cytology from the oral cavity mucosa of patients with no visible clinical changes, using Orcellex Rovers Brush (R). The extraction of total RNA was performed using the following three techniques: 30 samples were extracted by Trizol (R) technique, 30 by the Directzol (TM) RNA Miniprep system and 30 by the RNeasy mini Kit. The absorbance was measured by spectrophotometer to estimate the purity. The estimated RNA concentration was obtained by multiplying the value of A260 (ng/mL) by 40. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was performed using GraphPad Prism 5.03 software with Student t, analysis of variance and Bonferroni tests, considering p <= 0.05. Results: Trizol (R) group revealed higher average concentration, followed by Direct-zol (TM) and Rneasy group. It was observed that the RNA Direct-zol (TM) group had the highest purity, followed by RNeasy and Trizol (R) groups, allowing for the two ratios. Conclusion: Considering all aspects, concentration, purity and time spent in the procedures, the Direct-zol (TM) group showed the best results. (AU)
