Aberrant methylation of promoter CpG islands is causally linked with a number of inherited syndromes and most sporadic cancers, and may provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. In this report, we describe an approach to simultaneous analysis of multiple CpG islands, where methylation-specific oligonucleotide probes are joined by ligation and subsequently amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) when hybridized in juxtaposition on bisulfite-treated DNA. Specificity of the ligation reaction is achieved by (i) using probes containing CpGpCpG (for methylated sequences) or CpApCpA (for unmethylated sequences) at the 3′ ends, (ii) including three or more probes for each target, and (iii) using a thermostable DNA ligase. The external probes carry universal tails to allow amplification of multiple ligation products using a common primer pair. As proof-of-principle applications, we established duplex assays to examine the FMR1 promoter in individuals with fragile-X syndrome and the SNRPN promoter in individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome or Angelman syndrome, and a multiplex assay to simultaneously detect hypermethylation of seven genes (ID4, APC, RASSF1A, CDH1, ESR1, HIN1 and TWIST1) in breast cancer cell lines and tissues. These data show that ligation of oligonucleotide probes hybridized to bisulfite-treated DNA is a simple and cost-effective approach to analysis of CpG methylation. 相似文献

In clinical diagnostics a great need exists for targeted in situ multiplex nucleic acid analysis as the mutational status can offer guidance for effective treatment. One well-established method uses padlock probes for mutation detection and multiplex expression analysis directly in cells and tissues. Here, we use oligonucleotide gap-fill ligation to further increase specificity and to capture molecular substrates for in situ sequencing. Short oligonucleotides are joined at both ends of a padlock gap probe by two ligation events and are then locally amplified by target-primed rolling circle amplification (RCA) preserving spatial information. We demonstrate the specific detection of the A3243G mutation of mitochondrial DNA and we successfully characterize a single nucleotide variant in the ACTB mRNA in cells by in situ sequencing of RCA products generated by padlock gap-fill ligation. To demonstrate the clinical applicability of our assay, we show specific detection of a point mutation in the EGFR gene in fresh frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) lung cancer samples and confirm the detected mutation by in situ sequencing. This approach presents several advantages over conventional padlock probes allowing simpler assay design for multiplexed mutation detection to screen for the presence of mutations in clinically relevant mutational hotspots directly in situ. 相似文献

We sought to develop a simple and sensitive method based on mutant allele-specific amplification (MASA) for the detection
of point mutations in the k-ras oncogene in blood samples. We used MASA and three nested MASA methods to detect a point mutation (GGT→GAT) in rat DHD cells
at codon 12 of exon 1 of the k-ras gene. MASA allowed us to detect one k-ras mutated cell on a background of 107 normal cells. The third nested-MASA (nested-MASA.c) method that we developed allowed us to detect one mutated cell among
1010 normal cells. Our methods should allow the detection of small amounts of mutant k-ras DNA in tissue, serum, and plasma, combining speed with efficiency and specificity. 相似文献

We describe a non-isotopic, semi-automated method for large-scale multiplex analysis of nucleic acid sequences, using the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) gene as an example. Products of a multiplex oligonucleotide ligation assay (OLA) are resolved electrophoretically from one another and from unligated probes under denaturing conditions with fluorescence detection. One ligation probe for each OLA target carries a fluorescent tag, while the other probe carries an oligomeric non-nucleotide mobility modifier. Each OLA product has a unique electrophoretic mobility determined by the ligated oligonucleotides and the mobility-modifier oligomer arbitrarily assigned (coded) to its target. The mobility range for practical mobility modifiers is much wider than the accessible range from unmodified ligated oligonucleotides of practical length. Each mobility modifier is built from phosphoramidite monomers in a stepwise manner on its associated oligonucleotide using an automated synthesizer. The resulting mobility modifiers lower the probe-target duplex Tm by less than 3 degrees C and retard probe-target annealing by less than 50%, with negligible effect on OLA yield and specificity. This method is especially useful for allelic discrimination in highly polymorphic genes such as CFTR. 相似文献

Universal DNA array detection of small insertions and deletions in BRCA1 and BRCA2 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Array-based mutation detection methodology typically relies on direct hybridization of the fluorescently labeled query sequence to surface-bound oligonucleotide probes. These probes contain either small sequence variations or perfect-match sequence. The intensity of fluorescence bound to each oligonucleotide probe is intended to reveal which sequence is perfectly complementary to the query sequence. However, these approaches have not always been successful, especially for detection of small frameshift mutations. Here we describe a multiplex assay to detect small insertions and deletions by using a modified PCR to evenly amplify each amplicon (PCR/PCR), followed by ligase detection reaction (LDR). Mutations were identified by screening reaction products with a universal DNA microarray, which uncouples mutation detection from array hybridization and provides for high sensitivity. Using the three BRCA1 and BRCA2 founder mutations in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (BRCA1 185delAG; BRCA1 5382insC; BRCA2 6174delT) as a model system, the assay readily detected these mutations in multiplexed reactions. Our results demonstrate that universal microarray analysis of PCR/PCR/LDR products permits rapid identification of small insertion and deletion mutations in the context of both clinical diagnosis and population studies. 相似文献

It is known that neoplastic transformation of rodent primary embryonic fibroblasts culturedin vitro requires coexpression at least of two cooperating oncogenes. In the case of transduction into cells of oncogenesras andmyc, the cell transformation is poorly effective. To study some additional factors necessary for such transformation, c-myc and N-ras
Asp12 were consecutively introduced into REF52 cells by retroviral infection, and the cell cultures obtained were analyzed. Expression
ofmyc broke the regulation of the cell cycle, in particular, canceled the G1 phase arrest for cells with damaged DNA, despite the
normal function of protein p53 and induction of the p53-responsive genep21
Waf1 in these cells. The subsequent transduction ofras led to morphological transformation of cells and an increase of p53 level. However, reversion of the transformed phenotype
to normal morphology took place after less than five passages. On this background, rare clones generated the stable transformed
cell lines characterized by accelerated proliferation and having a mutation in thep53 gene. Attempts to obtain stable transformed cell lines by transduction ofras into REF52 cells not expressing exogenousmyc were unsuccessful. Analysis of the stable transformed clones revealed a mutation at codon 271 of thep53 gene, a hot spot of mutations, which led to the replacement of arginine by cysteine. In these clones, p53 is accumulated
owing to the increased life time, and has a flexible conformation, being able to interact with monoclonal PAb1620 and PAb240
antibodies recognizing alternative protein conformations. The results obtained suggest that p53 participates in negative regulation
of the cell cycle under conditions of oncogenic stimulation, and its inactivation is necessary for full transformation of
cells by cooperating oncogenesmyc andras. 相似文献

Development of Molecular Identification Method for Genus Alexandrium (Dinophyceae) Using Whole-Cell FISH 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We have developed a method to identify species in the genus Alexandrium using whole-cell fluorescent in situ hybridization with FITC-labeled oligonucleotide probes that target large subunit ribosomal rRNA molecules. The probes were designed based on the sequence of the rDNA D1-D2 region of Alexandrium species. DNA probes specific for toxic A. tamarense and A. catenella and nontoxic A. affine, A. fraterculus, A. insuetum, and A. pseudogonyaulax, respectively, were applied to vegetative cells of all above Alexandrium species to test the sensitivity of the probes. Each DNA probe hybridized specifically with vegetative cells of the corresponding Alexandrium species and showed no cross-reactivity to noncorresponding Alexandrium species. In addition, no cross-reactivity of the probes was observed in experiments using concentrated natural seawater samples. The TAMAD2 probe, which is highly specific to A. tamarense, a common toxic species in Korean coastal waters, provides a simple and reliable molecular tool for identification of toxic Alexandrium species. 相似文献

Aims: To develop a multiplex real‐time PCR assay using TaqMan probes for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of potato powdery scab and common scab, two potato tuber diseases with similar symptoms, and the causal pathogens Spongospora subterranea and plant pathogenic Streptomyces spp. Methods and Results: Real‐time PCR primers and a probe for S. subterranea were designed based on the DNA sequence of the ribosomal RNA ITS2 region. Primers and a probe for pathogenic Streptomyces were designed based on the DNA sequence of the txtAB genes. The two sets of primer pairs and probes were used in a single real‐time PCR assay. The multiplex real‐time PCR assay was confirmed to be specific for S. subterranea and pathogenic Streptomyces. The assay detected DNA quantities of 100 fg for each of the two pathogens and linear responses and high correlation coefficients between the amount of DNA and Ct values for each pathogen were achieved. The presence of two sets of primer pairs and probes and of plant extracts did not alter the sensitivity and efficiency of multiplex PCR amplification. Using the PCR assay, we could discriminate between powdery scab and common scab tubers with similar symptoms. Common scab and powdery scab were detected in some tubers with no visible symptoms. Mixed infections of common scab and powdery scab on single tubers were also revealed. Conclusions: This multiplex real‐time PCR assay is a rapid, cost efficient, specific and sensitive tool for the simultaneous detection and discrimination of the two pathogens on infected potato tubers when visual symptoms are inconclusive or not present. Significance and Impact of the Study: Accurate and quick identification and discrimination of the cause of scab diseases on potatoes will provide critical information to potato growers and researchers for disease management. This is important because management strategies for common and powdery scab diseases are very different. 相似文献

A DNA piezoelectric biosensing method for real-time detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in a circulating-flow system was developed in this study. Specific probes [a 30-mer oligonucleotide with or without additional 12 deoxythymidine 5′-monophosphate (12-dT)] for the detection of E. coli O157:H7 gene eaeA, synthetic oligonucleotide targets (30 and 104 mer) and PCR-amplified DNA fragments from the E. coli O157:H7 eaeA gene (104 bp), were used to evaluate the efficiency of the probe immobilization and hybridization with target DNA in the circulating-flow quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) device. It was found that thiol modification on the 5′-end of the probes was essential for probe immobilization on the gold surface of the QCM device. The addition of 12-dT to the probes as a spacer, significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) the hybridization efficiency (H%). The results indicate that the spacer enhanced the H% by 1.4- and 2-fold when the probes were hybridized with 30- and 104-mer targets, respectively. The spacer reduced steric interference of the support on the hybridization behavior of immobilized oligonucleotides, especially when the probes hybridized with relatively long oligonucleotide targets. The QCM system was also applied in the detection of PCR-amplified DNA from real samples of E. coli O157:H7. The resultant H% of the PCR-amplified double-strand DNA was comparable to that of the synthetic target T-104AS, a single-strand DNA. The piezoelectric biosensing system has potential for further applications. This approach lays the groundwork for incorporating the method into an integrated system for rapid PCR-based DNA analysis. 相似文献

Becauseras oncogenes mediate abnormal cellular growth,ras proteins have been presumed to play a role primarily in growth control. The biological function ofras proteins may, however, prove to be much more diverse:ras proteins may be involved in cellular functions that control endocytosis and/or exocytosis. 相似文献

Electrochemical detection of point mutation based on surface ligation reaction and biometallization 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A highly sensitive electrochemical method for point mutation detection based on surface enzymatic ligation reaction and biometallization is demonstrated. In this method the surface-immobilized allele-specific probe, complementary to the mutant target, undergoes allele-specific ligation with the 5'-phosphorylated ligation probe in the presence of the mutant oligonucleotide target and E. coli DNA ligase. If there is an allele mismatch, no ligation takes place. After thermal treatment at 90 degrees C, the formed duplex melts apart, which merely allows the ligation product to remain on the electrode surface. Then, biotinylated detection probes hybridize with the ligation product. With the binding of streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase (SA-ALP) to the biotinylated probes, a non-reductive substrate of alkaline phosphatase, ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA-P), can be converted into ascorbic acid (AA) at the electrode surface. Silver ions in solution are then reduced by AA, resulting in the deposition of silver metal onto the electrode surface. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) is used to detect the amount of deposited silver. The proposed approach has been successfully implemented for the identification of single base mutation in codon 12 of K-ras oncogene target with a detection limit of 80fM, demonstrating that this method provides a highly specific, sensitive and cost-efficient approach for point mutation detection. 相似文献

16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes for Bacteria (Eub338) and Archaea (Arc915) were used for whole-cell, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to quantify the ratio of these microbial groups in an anaerobic digester. The quantity of specifically bound (hybridized) probe was measured by fluorescence spectrometry and evaluated by analysing the dissociation curve of the hybrids, by the measurement of the binding with a nonsense probe, and by the competitive inhibition of the binding of the labelled probe by the corresponding unlabelled probe. Specific binding of oligonucleotide probes with the biomass of anaerobes was 40–50% of their total binding. The ratio of Arc915 and Eub338 probes hybridized with rRNAs of the cells in anaerobic sludge was 0.50. Measurement of FISH by fluorescence spectrometry appears to be a suitable method for quantification of the microbial community of anaerobes. 相似文献

Growth factors activate phospholipases, causing the generation of diverse lipid metabolites with second messenger function. Among them, the phosphatidylcholine-preferring phospholipase D (PLD) has attracted great interest, since in addition to the transient activation by growth factors stimulation, it is constitutively activated in some of the src- and ras-transformed cells investigated. To establish further the functional relationship of ras oncogenes with PLD, we have investigated its mechanism of regulation. Growth factors such as PDGF or FGF activate the PC-PLD enzyme by a common, PKC-dependent mechanism. By contrast, ras oncogenes activate the PC-PLD enzyme by a PKC-independent mechanism. These results suggest the existence of at least two mechanisms for PLD activation, and ras oncogenes contribute to one of them. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We have developed a simple ultraviolet (UV)-photomodification protocol using poly(methyl methacrylate) and polycarbonate to produce functional scaffolds consisting of carboxylic groups that allow covalent attachment of amine-terminated oligonucleotide probes to these surface groups through carbodiimide coupling. Use of the photomodification procedure coupled to microfluidics allowed for the rapid generation of medium-density DNA microarrays. The method reported herein involves the use of poly(dimethylsiloxane) microchannels reversibly sealed to photomodified poly(methyl methacrylate) surfaces to serve as stencils for patterning the oligonucleotide probes. After array construction, the poly(dimethylsiloxane) stencil is rotated 90 degrees to allow interrogation of the array using microfluidics. The photomodification process for array fabrication involves only three steps: (1) broadband UV exposure of the polymer surface, (2) carbodiimide coupling of amine-terminated oligonucleotide probes to the surface (via an amide bond), and (3) washing of the surface. The density of probes attached to this activated surface was found to be approximately 41pmolcm(-2), near the steric-saturation limit for short oligonucleotide probes. We demonstrate the use of this procedure for screening multiple KRAS2 mutations possessing high diagnostic value for colorectal cancers. A ligase detection reaction/universal array assay was carried out using parallel detection of two different low-abundant DNA point mutations in KRAS2 oncogenes with the allelic composition evaluated at one locus. Four zip code probes immobilized onto the poly(methyl methacrylate) surface directed allele-specific ligation products containing mutations in the KRAS2 gene (12.2D, 12.2A, 12.2V, and 13.4D) to the appropriate address of a universal array with minimal amounts of cross-hybridization or misligation. 相似文献

We report the development of a qualitative fluorescent multiplex homogeneous assay designed for the detection of the two most common hemochromatosis mutations using dual-labeled fluorescent probes. The assay is able to detect four allelic variants in a single closed tube using a single thermocycling protocol. The procedure combines the great sensitivity of the polymerase chain reaction, the specificity provided by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization using the 5(') nuclease assay format, and the higher throughput of a multicolor fluorescence detection procedure. Genomic DNA was prepared from whole blood specimens using standard procedures. Following DNA sample preparation, two regions of the hemochromatosis gene (HFE) including the H63D and C282Y mutations were coamplified and detected in real-time by four different fluorescently labeled allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. Assay specificity was demonstrated by a blind methods comparison study that included 37 DNA samples from individuals with a known HFE genotype. Results from the study showed that the multicolor multiplex HFE assay unambiguously classified all possible genotypes for the HFE gene C282Y and H63D mutations(1). This technique will be useful for research and molecular diagnostic laboratories and can be easily adapted for the detection of other single nucleotide polymorphisms. 相似文献

In F1 hybrid breeding of Brassica vegetables utilizing the self-incompatibility system, identification of S genotypes in breeding lines is required. In the present study, we developed S-tester lines of 87 S haplotypes, i.e., 42 S haplotypes in B. rapa and 45 S haplotypes in B. oleracea. With these materials, we established a simple, efficient, and reliable dot-blot technique for S genotyping for 40 S haplotypes of B. rapa and and 33 of B. oleracea using allele-specific oligonucleotide probes and allele-specific primer pairs designed from sequences of each SP11 allele. In this method, DNA fragments amplified using multiplex primer pairs with digoxigenin-dUTP were hybridized with dot-blotted
allele-specific oligonucleotide probes with distinct signals. In addition, we developed a screening method for identification
of plants harboring a particular S haplotype using a labeled allele-specific oligonucleotide probe. This method is considered to be useful for purity testing
of F1 hybrid seeds. 相似文献

We developed a procedure to detect the 7 point mutations at Cys634 of the proto-oncogene RET, which is responsible for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Genomic DNA was prepared from blood
samples obtained from normal and MTC-affected individuals belonging to a family with a history of the disease. The RET genotype
for each individual was first established by performing restriction and sequencing analyses. Single-stranded target DNA was
prepared by asymmetric polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of a 93-bp fragment containing Cys634. The target was annealed with pairs of prelabeled stacking oligonucleotides designed to create appropriate 7-nucleotide gaps,
which served as the sites of subsequent hybridization with glass-immobilized 7-mer probes. The target-stacking oligonucleotide
duplexes were hybridized with DNA chips containing a set of eight 7-mer probes designed to detect the wild-type sequence and
the seven point mutations described. We tested two sets of immobilized probes containing internal or 5′-terminal codon-634
single-base variations. Both groups of probes were able to discriminatively identify the mutations. The hybridization patterns
indicated that the disease in this family was due to the C634Y mutation, in accord with the original sequence analysis. The
hybridization-based mutation assignment was additionally supported by determination of the control homozygous and heterozygous
hybridization patterns produced with synthetic targets having the normal or codon 634 mutant sequences. The effects of mismatch
type and nearest-neighbor sequences on the occurrence of false-positive (mismatched) hybridizations are discussed. 相似文献

A specific 16S rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probe (PIR1223) for the genus Pirellula and a species-specific probe (RB454) for Pirellula sp. strain SH1 have been designed and optimized. Together with the already existing order-specific probe PLA886, the two newly designed probes were used to detect and identify planctomycetes, pirellulae, and close relatives of Pirellula sp. strain SH1 in different habitats. With the help of these probes for detection and identification, bacteria of the genus Pirellula were detected and cultivated from tissue of the Mediterranean sponge Aplysina aerophoba and from the water column of the Kiel Fjord. An unexpected result was the close phylogenetic relationship of the isolate from the sponge and the brackish water habitat Kiel Fjord as revealed by DNA/DNA hybridization. 相似文献
