Characterization of an inexpensive, nontoxic, and highly sensitive microarray substrate

An agarose film has been proposed as an efficient substrate for producing microarrays. The original film preparation procedure was simplified significantly by grafting the agarose layer directly onto unmodified microscope glass slides instead of aminated glass slides, and the blocking procedure was replaced with a wash in 0.1x standard saline citrate (SSC) and 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) without decreasing the performance of the produced microarrays. Characterization of the grafted agarose film using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the agarose film had a 10-fold increase in surface roughness compared to glass and that the interior of the agarose film was porous, with pore sizes between 100-500 nm. A comparison of hybridization on aldehyde-activated agarose-coated microarray slides and commercial amino-reactive microarray slides showed that aldehyde-activated agarose-coated slides had the highest signal-to-noise ratio of 850, suggesting that the aldehyde-activated agarose microarray slides are suitable in applications where analytes have a wide concentration range. By immobilizing the DNA probes using ultraviolet (UV) light, the signal-to-noise ratio was further increased to 3000 on the agarose microarray slides. The specificity of the UV cross-linked DNA probes was demonstrated using 21 and 25 bp long capture probes, enabling discrimination of target molecules differing in only one base.     

Production of Antiserum to Recombinant Coat Protein for Detecting Lily mottle virus in Yunnan, China

Lily mottle virus (LMoV), Potyvirus genus, is very difficult to purify for the preparation of diagnostic antisera. The coat protein (CP) gene of LMoV was amplified by RT-PCR from infected plants and cloned into the prokaryotic pET-30a vector to generate the recombinant plasmid pET-CP. The resulting carboxy-terminal His-tagged CP was over-expressed in Escherichia coli BL 21 cells by Isopropyl-β- d -thiogalactoside (IPTG) induction and purified over Ni-NTA affinity columns. The purified CP was used to elicit a polyclonal antiserum in rabbits. The antiserum had a titre of 1 : 128 in double diffusion tests, and specifically recognized LMoV in Western blots, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays and Immuno-Electron Microscopy. The CP antiserum was also used to evaluate LMoV infection of lily bulbs used for commercial production in Yunnan, China. Substantial levels of infection were found in both imported and native bulbs, and provide the basis to implement flexible, rapid and large-scale virus indexing of lily plants for use in propagation and to meet virus-free quarantine regulations.     

DNA microarrays with unimolecular hairpin double-stranded DNA probes: fabrication and exploration of sequence-specific DNA/protein interactions

We have fabricated double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) microarrays containing unimolecular hairpin dsDNA probes immobilized on glass slides. The unimolecular hairpin dsDNA microarrays were manufactured by four steps: Firstly, synthesizing single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) oligonucleotides with two reverse-complementary sequences at 3' hydroxyl end and an overhang sequence at 5' amino end. Secondly, microspotting ssDNA on glutaraldehyde-derived glass slide to form ssDNA microarrays. Thirdly, annealing two reverse-complementary sequences to form hairpin primer at 3' end of immobilized ssDNA and thus to create partial-dsDNA microarray. Fourthly, enzymatically extending hairpin primer to convert partial-dsDNA microarrays into complete-dsDNA microarray. The excellent efficiency and high accuracy of the enzymatic synthesis were demonstrated by incorporation of fluorescently labeled dUTPs in Klenow extension and digestion of dsDNA microarrays with restriction endonuclease. The accessibility and specificity of the DNA-binding proteins binding to dsDNA microarrays were verified by binding Cy3-labeled NF-kappaB to dsDNA microarrays. The dsDNA microarrays have great potential to provide a high-throughput platform for investigation of sequence-specific DNA/protein interactions involved in gene expression regulation, restriction and so on.     

Dendrimeric coating of glass slides for sensitive DNA microarrays analysis

Successful use and reliability of microarray technology is highly dependent on several factors, including surface chemistry parameters and accessibility of cDNA targets to the DNA probes fixed onto the surface. Here, we show that functionalisation of glass slides with homemade dendrimers allow production of more sensitive and reliable DNA microarrays. The dendrimers are nanometric structures of size-controlled diameter with aldehyde function at their periphery. Covalent attachment of these spherical reactive chemical structures on amino-silanised glass slides generates a reactive ~100 Å layer onto which amino-modified DNA probes are covalently bound. This new grafting chemistry leads to the formation of uniform and homogenous spots. More over, probe concentration before spotting could be reduced from 0.2 to 0.02 mg/ml with PCR products and from 20 to 5 µM with 70mer oligonucleotides without affecting signal intensities after hybridisation with Cy3- and Cy5-labelled targets. More interestingly, while the binding capacity of captured probes on dendrimer-activated glass surface (named dendrislides) is roughly similar to other functionalised glass slides from commercial sources, detection sensitivity was 2-fold higher than with other available DNA microarrays. This detection limit was estimated to 0.1 pM of cDNA targets. Altogether, these features make dendrimer-activated slides ideal for manufacturing cost-effective DNA arrays applicable for gene expression and detection of mutations.

Stripping custom microRNA microarrays and the lessons learned about probe-slide interactions

Microarrays have been used extensively in gene expression profiling and genotyping studies. To reduce the high cost and enhance the consistency of microarray experiments, it is often desirable to strip and reuse microarray slides. Our genome-wide analysis of microRNA expression involves the hybridization of fluorescently labeled nucleic acids to custom-made, spotted DNA microarrays based on GAPSII-coated slides. We describe here a simple and effective method to regenerate such custom microarrays that uses a very low-salt buffer to remove labeled nucleic acids from microarrays. Slides can be stripped and reused multiple times without significantly compromising data quality. Moreover, our analyses of the performance of regenerated slides identifies parameters that influence the attachment of oligonucleotide probes to GAPSII slides, shedding light on the interactions between DNA and the microarray surface and suggesting ways in which to improve the design of oligonucleotide probes.
