Background: Utilizing an intact RNA is essential while performing molecular genetics methods like microarray and quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Using RNA with poor quality may affect the results of downstream manipulations. Our aim in the current study was to compare and optimize various procedures for RNA extraction by using different kits and DNase treatment to find a standard method for RNA extraction from human frozen tissues.Methods: Using Cinnagen RNX plus solution, Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit and Qiagen RNeasy Plus Mini Kit, total RNA was extracted from human frozen tissues comprising stomach (#40), glioma (#5) and breast (#15). For genomic DNA elimination, extracted RNA was treated with DNase enzyme. After RNA extraction, its quantity and quality was assessed by spectrophotometry and gel electrophoresis. After cDNA synthesis, RT-PCR technique by specific primers designed for TBP gene was performed and results were assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis.Finding: Extracted RNA by Cinnagen RNX plus solution did not show good results in RT-PCR after DNase treatment. Extracted RNAs by Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit and Qiagen RNeasy Plus Mini Kit were of high quality for RT-PCR reaction because of using DNase treatment during the extraction procedure and an additional genomic DNA elimination column respectively.Conclusion: Combining Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit, Qiazol solution and DNase treatment during the extraction procedure is the most suitable method for RNA extraction from human frozen tissues and the extracted RNA can be used with assurance in downstream molecular techniques.
