A Strategy to Optimize the Oligo-Probes for Microarray-based Detection of Viruses

DNA microarrays have been acknowledged to represent a promising approach for the detection of viral pathogens. However, the probes designed for current arrays could cover only part of the given viral variants, that could result in false-negative or ambiguous data. If all the variants are to be covered, the requirement for more probes would render much higher spot density and thus higher cost of the arrays. Here we have developed a new strategy for oligonucleotide probe design. Using type I human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) tat gene as an example, we designed the array probes and validated the optimized parameters in silico. Results show that the oligo number is significantly reduced comparing with the existing methods, while specificity and hybridization efficiency remain intact. The adoption of this method in reducing the oligo numbers could increase the detection capacity for DNA microarrays, and would significantly lower the manufacturing cost for making array chips.

Development and application of an oligonucleotide microarray for the detection of food-borne bacterial pathogens

The rapid and accurate detection and identification of food-borne pathogenic bacteria is critical for food safety. In this paper, we describe a rapid (<4 h) high-throughput detection and identification system that uses universal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers to amplify a variable region of bacterial the 16S rRNA gene, followed by reverse hybridization of the products to species-specific oligonucleotide probes on a chip. This procedure was successful in discriminating 204 strains of bacteria from pure culture belonging to 13 genera of bacteria. When this method was applied directly to 115 strains of bacteria isolated from foods, 112/115 (97.4%) were correctly identified; two strains were indistinguishable due to weak signal, while one failed to produce a PCR product. The array was used to detect and successfully identify two strains of bacteria from food poisoning outbreak samples, giving results through hybridization that were identical to those obtained by traditional methods. The sensitivity of the microarray assay was 10² CFU of bacteria. Thus, the oligonucleotide microarray is a powerful tool for the detection and identification of pathogens from foods.

Portable System for Microbial Sample Preparation and Oligonucleotide Microarray Analysis

We have developed a three-component system for microbial identification that consists of (i) a universal syringe-operated silica minicolumn for successive DNA and RNA isolation, fractionation, fragmentation, fluorescent labeling, and removal of excess free label and short oligonucleotides; (ii) microarrays of immobilized oligonucleotide probes for 16S rRNA identification; and (iii) a portable battery-powered device for imaging the hybridization of fluorescently labeled RNA fragments with the arrays. The minicolumn combines a guanidine thiocyanate method of nucleic acid isolation with a newly developed hydroxyl radical-based technique for DNA and RNA labeling and fragmentation. DNA and RNA can also be fractionated through differential binding of double- and single-stranded forms of nucleic acids to the silica. The procedure involves sequential washing of the column with different solutions. No vacuum filtration steps, phenol extraction, or centrifugation is required. After hybridization, the overall fluorescence pattern is captured as a digital image or as a Polaroid photo. This three-component system was used to discriminate Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus thuringiensis, and human HL60 cells. The procedure is rapid: beginning with whole cells, it takes approximately 25 min to obtain labeled DNA and RNA samples and an additional 25 min to hybridize and acquire the microarray image using a stationary image analysis system or the portable imager.     

Oligonucleotide microarray data mining: search for age-dependent gene expression

Information on gene expression in colon tumors versus normal human colon was recently generated by an oligonucleotide microarray study. We used the associated database to search for genes that display age-dependent variations in expression. Statistically significant evidence was obtained that such genes are present in both the tumor and normal tissue databases. Besides the analysis of all genes included in the database, three subsets of genes were analyzed separately: genes controlled by p53, and genes coding for ribosomal proteins and for nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins. Among the genes controlled by p53 some show an age-dependent change in expression in tumor tissues, in the sense compatible with an activation of p53 at higher age. A decreased expression of some ribosomal genes at advanced age was detected both in tumor and normal tissues. No significant age-dependent expression could be detected for genes encoding mitochondrial proteins.     

Detection of Cancer with Serum miRNAs on an Oligonucleotide Microarray

Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNA species that play critical roles throughout cellular development and regulation. miRNA expression patterns taken from various tissue types often point to the cellular lineage of an individual tissue type, thereby being a more invariant hallmark of tissue type. Recent work has shown that these miRNA expression patterns can be used to classify tumor cells, and that this classification can be more accurate than the classification achieved by using messenger RNA gene expression patterns. One aspect of miRNA biogenesis that makes them particularly attractive as a biomarker is the fact that they are maintained in a protected state in serum and plasma, thus allowing the detection of miRNA expression patterns directly from serum. This study is focused on the evaluation of miRNA expression patterns in human serum for five types of human cancer, prostate, colon, ovarian, breast and lung, using a pan-human microRNA, high density microarray. This microarray platform enables the simultaneous analysis of all human microRNAs by either fluorescent or electrochemical signals, and can be easily redesigned to include newly identified miRNAs. We show that sufficient miRNAs are present in one milliliter of serum to detect miRNA expression patterns, without the need for amplification techniques. In addition, we are able to use these expression patterns to correctly discriminate between normal and cancer patient samples.
