DNA单链二级结构预测与单链构象多态性分析的一致性研究

单链构象多态性(SSCP)分析是一种简便,快速检测DNA突变的方法,它在基因突变检测、遗传分析、进化研究等领域有着广泛的应用价值.但是这种方法的突变检出率随DNA序列不同而变化,一般只能达到70%～80%.这主要是有的碱基突变对单链DNA的构象影响较小,不能通过SSCP检测出来.将计算机对DNA二级结构的预测结果和实验结果作了对比,发现二者有很高的一致性.这一结果表明计算机的DNA单链二级结构预测分析可用于PCR-SSCP分析的辅助设计,提高SSCP的突变检出率.

Molecular detection of plant pathogenic bacteria using polymerase chain reaction single-strand conformation polymorphism

The application of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology to molecular diagnostics holds great promise for the early identification of agriculturally important plant pathogens. Ralstonia solanacearum, Xanthomoans axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae are phytopathogenic bacteria, which can infect vegetables, cause severe yield loss. PCR-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) is a simple and powerful technique for identifying sequence changes in amplified DNA. The technique of PCR-SSCP is being exploited so far, only to detect and diagnose human bacterial pathogens in addition to plant pathogenic fungi. Selective media and serology are the commonly used methods for the detection of plant pathogens in infected plant materials. In this study, we developed PCR-SSCP technique to identify phytopathogenic bacteria. The PCR product was denatured and separated on a non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel. SSCP banding patterns were detected by silver staining of nucleic acids. We tested over 56 isolates of R. solanacearum, 44 isolates of X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, and 20 isolates of X. oryzae pv. oryzae. With the use of universal primer 16S rRNA, we could discriminate such species at the genus and species levels. Species-specific patterns were obtained for bacteria R. solanacearum, X. axonopodis pv. vesicatoria, and X. oryzae pv. oryzae. The potential use of PCR-SSCP technique for the detection and diagnosis of phytobacterial pathogens is discussed in the present paper.

Detection of rifampin resistance patterns in Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains isolated in Iran by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism and direct sequencing methods

Mutations in the rpoB locus confer conformational changes leading to defective binding of rifampin (RIF) to rpoB and consequently resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) was established as a rapid screening test for the detection of mutations in the rpoB gene, and direct sequencing has been unambiguously applied to characterize mutations. A total of 37 of Iranian isolates of M. tuberculosis, 16 sensitive and 21 resistant to RIF, were used in this study. A 193-bp region of the rpoB gene was amplified and PCR-SSCP patterns were determined by electrophoresis in 10% acrylamide gel and silver staining. Also, 21 samples of 193-bp rpoB amplicons with different PCR-SSCP patterns from RIFr and 10 from RIFs were sequenced. Seven distinguishable PCR-SSCP patterns were recognized in the 21 Iranian RIFr strains, while 15 out of 16 RIFs isolates demonstrated PCR-SSCP banding patterns similar to that of sensitive standard strain H37Rv. However one of the sensitive isolates demonstrated a different pattern. There were seen six different mutations in the amplified region of rpoB gene: codon 516(GAC/GTC), 523(GGG/GGT), 526(CAC/TAC), 531(TCG/TTG), 511(CTG/TTG), and 512(AGC/TCG). This study demonstrated the high specificity (93.8%) and sensitivity (95.2%) of PCR-SSCP method for detection of mutation in rpoB gene; 85.7% of RIFr strains showed a single mutation and 14.3% had no mutations. Three strains showed mutations caused polymorphism. Our data support the common notion that rifampin resistance genotypes are generally present mutations in codons 531 and 526, most frequently found in M. tuberculosis populations regardless of geographic origin.     

Recent enhancements in SSCP

High sensitivity, robustness and scalability are the three criteria which influence whether techniques for rapid mutation detection will be used in the future. PCR-SSCP, one of the most popular methods for detecting mutation, especially in the field of medical genetics, is being improved (1) to efficiently detect mutations in long stretches of PCR products; (2) to simplify data interpretation by removing PCR artifacts and (3) to minimize human involvement in the process of mutation detection by a simple post-PCR fluorescence labeling followed by separation using automated DNA sequencers.     

Detection of mutation of the p53 gene with high sensitivity by fluorescence-based PCR-SSCP analysis using low-pH buffer and an automated DNA sequencer in a large number of DNA samples

Detection of mutations in genes responsible for hereditary diseases or tumors is important clinically. It is necessary to establish a simple technique for screening mutations in large numbers of samples. The polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method has proved to be a useful technique for analyzing mutations or DNA polymorphisms. Non-radioisotopic versions using fluorescent dye and an automated DNA sequencer have also been exploited to extend this technique into the clinical field. We have examined mutations of exons 5-9 of the p53 gene in 112 colorectal, 28 esophageal and 33 hepatocellular carcinomas by fluorescence-based PCR-SSCP (F-SSCP) under various conditions. We found 64 types of mutations in 63, 17 and 12 cases of colon, esophageal and hepatocellular carcinomas by F-SSCP. We determined the sequence of all samples, and confirmed that all mutations were successfully detected by F-SSCP. With the low-pH buffer system, 61 types of mutants were detected, while 51 types were detected by TBE and 57 types were detected by TBE with glycerol gel. The polyacrylamide gel in TME or TBE without glycerol was tough and could be used repeatedly, but the glycerol containing gel was fragile and could not stand repeated use. Thus, use of a low-pH buffer in the electrophoresis of F-SSCP is simpler and better at detecting mutations than the conventional TBE buffer system. We believe that low-pH F-SSCP analysis is an efficient and powerful technique for examination of a large number of samples, in particular clinical specimens obtained by biopsy or surgery.     

Characterisation of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases of the SHV family using a combination of PCR-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)

Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) has been developed to extend the identification of SHV beta-lactamases previously characterised by PCR-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis alone. Eight bacteria, each producing a different SHV beta-lactamase, were used in this study. These bacteria harbour bla(SHV-1), bla(SHV-2a), bla(SHV-3), bla(SHV-4), bla(SHV-5) (two strains), bla(SHV-11) and bla(SHV-12). All isolates were characterised by PCR-SSCP and PCR-RFLP with DdeI and NheI digestion. By a combination of these techniques, the genes encoding these beta-lactamases could be differentiated from each other. In addition, the PCR-RFLP technique theoretically can be applied to distinguish the genes encoding SHV-7, SHV-9, SHV-10, SHV-15, SHV-17 and SHV-24 from those encoding other SHV variants. We report a simple PCR-RFLP technique that can be used in epidemiological studies to enable the rapid characterisation of known SHV beta-lactamases in a combination with the previously published PCR-SSCP analysis.

Sensitive detection of p53 gene mutations by a 'mutant enriched' PCR-SSCP technique.

For the rapid and sensitive detection of p53 'hot spot' mutations, we combined polymerase chain reaction based single-strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis with sequence specific-clamping by peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) in a one-step reaction tube protocol. For this purpose, we designed two PNA molecules comprising aa 246-250 of exon 7 and aa 270-275 of exon 8, respectively, to suppress the amplification of wild-type p53 allelic variants during PCR amplification. Using this method in a survey of 20 brush cytology samples from lung cancer patients, we were able to detect five p53 point mutations occurring in codons 248, 249 and 273 which could not be retrieved by conventional PCR-SSCP. Thus, allelic suppression by PNA molecules opens a way to largely improve the sensitivity of existing PCR-SSCP protocols (approximately 10-50-fold) and could be useful in the detection of 'hot spot' oncogene lesions in histological samples containing only a small number of cancer cells.
