An easy and routine procedure to amplify messenger RNA (mRNA) libraries from a few tissue cells can provide molecular gene expression profiles at high resolution. A novel PCR-like method, the RNA-PCR, was developed to generate high quality and quantity mRNAs from as few as 20 cells (2 pg mRNAs). The principle relies upon the cycling steps of promoter-linked double-stranded cDNA synthesis and promoter-driven transcription to amplify mRNAs up to 250-fold/cycle with good representation of high and low copy mRNAs. The amplified mRNA libraries were shown to possess high fidelity, purity, specificity and reproducibility for in vivo analyses of cancerous gene expression in human prostate cancers.
