Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe a method used to evaluate gene expression and microRNAs (miRNAs) in bone cells or tissue using Reverse transcription and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), and a method to assess chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) on Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE ) mouse bone tissue to detect both DNA and mRNA transcripts using the double digoxigenin (DIG) locked nucleic acid (LNA™) probes .
