Definitions
- the present invention describes a method for the detection of the methylation state of genomic DNA samples.
- 5-Methylcytosine is the most common covalently modified base in the DNA of eukaryotic cells. For example, it plays a role in the regulation of transcription, in genetic imprinting and in tumorigenesis. The identification of 5-methylcytosine as a component of genetic information is therefore of considerable interest. However, 5-methylcytosine positions cannot be identified by sequencing because 5- Methylcytosine has the same base pairing behavior as cytosine. In addition, in the case of PCR amplification, the epigenetic information which the 5-methylcytosines carry is completely lost.
- the state of the art in terms of sensitivity is defined by a method which includes the DNA to be examined in an agarose matrix, thereby preventing the diffusion and renaturation of the DNA (bisulfite only reacts on single-stranded DNA) and all precipitation and purification steps replaced by rapid dialysis (Olek, A. et al., Nucl. Acids. Res. 1996, 24, 5064-5066). With this method, individual cells can be examined, which illustrates the potential of the method. However, only individual regions up to about 3000 base pairs in length have so far been investigated, and a global examination of cells for thousands of possible methylation analyzes is not possible.
- PCR reactions polymerase chain reactions
- two specifically binding primers one complementary to the (+) strand, the other complementary to the (-) strand of the one to be amplified Templates is.
- the aim of such an amplification is to reproduce a certain fragment of the Te plat DNA, which is usually precisely defined and is largely or completely known in its base sequence.
- PCR reactions using more than two different primers are also known. In most cases, they are used for the amplification of several fragments, likewise at least largely known in their base sequence, simultaneously in one vessel. In this case too, the primers used specifically bind to certain sections of the template DNA.
- the hybridization chamber (DE19952723) developed by Epigenomics AG carries out periodic denaturation of the DNA sample without generating a detachment of DNA already hybridized to oligomers. Because the DNA sample is thermally denatured before being applied to the array and then suddenly cooled, it is predominantly in single-stranded form when contacted with the array. This means that a large part of the otherwise double-stranded DNA sample is available for hybridizations with the oligomer array. By pumping the sample liquid back and forth, the device ensures that this process is repeated until a sufficient part of the double-stranded DNA sample has hybridized to the oligomers of the array. At the same time, this process causes mixing in the chamber during the hybridization phase.
- Genomic DNA is obtained by standard methods from DNA from cell, tissue or other test samples. This standard methodology can be found in references such as Fritsch and Maniatis eds., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 1989.
- Coded particles have been used in very different areas for some time. Color-coded beads have been used for the parallel diagnosis of T and B cells (Baran and Parker, Am. J. Clin. Pathol. 1985, 83, 182-9). Beads containing radiaoactive indium have been used as indicators of the motility of the gastrointestinal tract (Dormehl et al Eur. J. Nucl. Med. 1985, 10, 283-5). Companies such as Lu inex or Illumina, who run highly parallel diagnostics with color-coded plastic beads, use 100 different different -coloured beads, to which many different probes can be attached. As a result, 100 different parameters can be queried in a reaction, which could be, for example, 100 different diagnostic tests.
