Description

  • This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/270,325 filed Nov. 8, 2005, which claims a priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) from U.S. Application Ser. No. 60/626,228 filed Nov. 8, 2004, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
  • The present teachings relate generally to methods and materials for the specific conversion of cytosine to uracil.
  • Assessment of methylation of DNA is useful in many research, diagnostic, medical, forensic, and industrial fields. Particularly, methylation of cytosine in genomic DNA has been correlated with lack of gene expression, and in some instances can be indicative of early and frequent alterations found in some cancers. Thus, the ability to assess the methylation status of DNA is significant.
  • Assessment of DNA methylation generally involves the conversion of cytosine to uracil. One basic method for such conversion employs sodium bisulfite. Over the years, the method has been improved in attempts to overcome disadvantages that include tedious procedures, lengthy reaction times, and DNA degradation. One commonly used sodium bisulfite conversion protocol is taught by J. Herman, see Herman, J., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 93, 9821-26 (1996), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Despite the attempts to improve the protocol, it is still required to prepare fresh solutions of sodium bisulfite (NaHSO3) that include a stabilizing reagent (antioxidant) such as hydroquinone. Generally, the protocol also involves long reaction times and tedious clean-up procedures.
  • Given the importance of assessment of DNA methylation, it can be seen that there is a need for improved reagents and methods for conversion of cytosine to uracil.
  • In some embodiments, the present teachings provide for a packaged bisulfite solution comprising an aqueous deoxygenated solution of a bisulfite reagent enclosed within an oxygen-impermeable container, wherein after six months, the solution has a bisulfite concentration that is at least 90% of the original concentration. In some embodiments, the solution contains less than 10 ppm dissolved oxygen.
  • In some embodiments, the bisulfite reagent can comprise at least one counter-ion selected from a monovalent ion, a divalent ion and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the counter-ion can be a monovalent ion. In some embodiments, the counter-ion can be a monovalent ion selected from sodium, lithium, potassium, ammonium, tetraalkylammonium and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the counter-ion can be a divalent ion. In some embodiments, the counter-ion can be a divalent ion selected from magnesium, manganese, calcium and combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the bisulfite counter-ion can be ammonium. In some embodiments, the bisulfite counter-ion can be tetraalkylammonium.
  • In some embodiments, the oxygen-impermeable container can be selected from an ampoule, a hermetically sealed bag, a capsule, etc. In some embodiments, the oxygen-impermeable container can be an ampoule. In some embodiments, the ampoule can be an amber glass ampoule. In some embodiments, the oxygen-impermeable container can be a capsule. In some embodiments, the capsule can comprise a substantially oxygen-impermeable thermal plastic polymer. In some embodiments, the present teachings provide for kits comprising packaged bisulfite solutions described herein.
  • It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed. In this application, the use of the singular includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise. In this application, the use of “or” means “and/or” unless stated otherwise.

  • In some embodiments, the aqueous deoxygenated solution can be a solution containing bisulfite ion in a concentration of from about 0.5 molar (e.g.-0.5 M) to about 2.5 M. In further embodiments, the solution contains bisulfite ion in a concentration of from about 1 M to about 2 M.
  • In some embodiments, the bisulfite is present at a concentration of at least about 1M.
  • In some embodiments, after six months, the bisulfite solution can have a bisulfite concentration that is at least 90% of the original concentration. In some embodiments, after six months, the bisulfite solution can have a bisulfite concentration that is at least 95% of the original concentration. In some embodiments, after six months, the bisulfite solution can have a bisulfite concentration that is at least 99% of the original concentration. Bisulfite concentration can be determined by, for example, spectroscopic determination using Ellman's reagent or iodine titration using a starch indicator according to the following reaction (see, for example, Sadegh, C., et al., MIT Undergraduate Research Journal, 8, 39-42 (2003) and references cited therein):
