While microarrays hold considerable promise in large-scale biology on account of their massively parallel analytical nature, there is a need for compatible signal amplification procedures to increase sensitivity without loss of multiplexing. Rolling circle amplification (RCA) is a molecular amplification method with the unique property of product localization. This report describes the application of RCA signal amplification for multiplexed, direct detection and quantitation of nucleic acid targets on planar glass and gel-coated microarrays. As few as 150 molecules bound to the surface of microarrays can be detected using RCA. Because of the linear kinetics of RCA, nucleic acid target molecules may be measured with a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude. Consequently, RCA is a promising technology for the direct measurement of nucleic acids on microarrays without the need for a potentially biasing preamplification step. 相似文献

Multiplexed protein profiling on antibody-based microarrays by rolling circle amplification 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Multiplexed immunoassays on antibody-based protein microarrays are an attractive solution for analyzing biological responses in normal and diseased states. Recently, the feasibility and utility of these assays has been established as concerns about specificity and sensitivity are being overcome by careful quality control and amplification technologies such as rolling circle amplification (RCA). RCA-amplified protein chips can now profile up to 150 proteins in various substrates including serum, plasma, and supernatants with high sensitivity, broad dynamic range and good reproducibility. Diagnostic utility of RCA-amplified protein chips has been shown for multiplexed allergen testing. When allied with multivariate statistical analysis, RCA protein chips have the potential to identify multiplexed biomarker classifiers for disease diagnosis and drug response. 相似文献

Attomole DNA detection assay via rolling circle amplification and single molecule detection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A bead-based assay was developed for highly sensitive single molecule DNA detection. Rolling circle amplification (RCA), an isothermal amplification technique that creates tandem repeated sequences, was used in combination with a fluorescent complementary DNA to create dense clusters of fluorescence. These clusters, each corresponding to a single target molecule, can be detected unambiguously due to their high signal/noise ratios. The limit of detection of this assay is approximately 1 amol. This simple single molecule assay allows high detection sensitivity without the use of complex equipment. 相似文献

We present a simple, sensitive, and cost-effective fluorescent assay of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with target-primed branched rolling circle amplification (TPBRCA). Designed padlock probe is circularized after perfect hybridization to mutant DNA. Then rolling circle amplification (RCA) reaction can be initiated from the mutant DNA that acts as primer and generates a long tandem single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) product. At the same time, the introduction of a reverse primer complementary to the target-primed RCA products leads to the branched RCA and eventually generates the various lengths of ssDNA and double-stranded DNA products, which are sensitively detected using SYBR Green I (SG) fluorescence dye. In contrast, the wild DNA contains a single mismatched base with the padlock probe and primes only a limited extension with the unligated padlock probe, generating weak background fluorescence with the addition of SG. Due to the excellent specificity and powerful amplification of TPBRCA reaction, the mutant DNA was distinctively differentiated from the wild DNA in a homogeneous and label-free manner. The assay is sensitive and specific enough to detect 5-amol (8.6-fM) mutant DNA strands. It was possible to accurately determine the mutant allele frequency as low as 1.0%. 相似文献

Selectivity and sensitivity in the detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are among most important attributes to determine the performance of DNA microarrays. We previously reported the generation of a novel mesospaced surface prepared by applying dendron molecules on the solid surface. DNA microarrays that were fabricated on the dendron-modified surface exhibited outstanding performance for the detection of single nucleotide variation in the synthetic oligonucleotide DNA. DNA microarrays on the dendron-modified surface were subjected to the detection of single nucleotide variations in the exons 5–8 of the p53 gene in genomic DNAs from cancer cell lines. DNA microarrays on the dendron-modified surface clearly discriminated single nucleotide variations in hotspot codons with high selectivity and sensitivity. The ratio between the fluorescence intensity of perfectly matched duplexes and that of single nucleotide mismatched duplexes was >5–100 without sacrificing signal intensity. Our results showed that the outstanding performance of DNA microarrays fabricated on the dendron-modified surface is strongly related to novel properties of the dendron molecule, which has the conical structure allowing mesospacing between the capture probes. Our microarrays on the dendron-modified surface can reduce the steric hindrance not only between the solid surface and target DNA, but also among immobilized capture probes enabling the hybridization process on the surface to be very effective. Our DNA microarrays on the dendron-modified surface could be applied to various analyses that require accurate detection of SNPs. 相似文献

Detection of single base alterations in genomic DNA by solid phase polymerase chain reaction on oligonucleotide microarrays. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

DNA microarray technology holds significant promise for human DNA diagnostics. A number of technical approaches directed at the parallel identification of mutations or single nucleotide polymorphisms make use of polymerase-based specificity, like minisequencing or allele-specific primer elongation. These techniques, however, require separate laborious sample amplification, preparation, and purification steps, making large-scale analyses time and cost consuming. Here, we address this challenge by applying an experimental setup using simultaneous solid and liquid phase PCR on polyethyleneimine-coated glass slides, a novel microarray support allowing on-chip amplification reactions with exquisite specificity. A gene-specific oligonucleotide tiling array contains covalently attached allele-specific primers which interrogate single nucleotide positions within a genomic region of interest. During a thermal cycling reaction amplification products remain covalently bound to the solid support and can be visualized and analyzed by the incorporation of fluorescent dyes. Using the described procedure we unequivocally defined the presence of point mutations in the human tumor suppressor gene p53 directly from a natural DNA source. This semi-multiplex solid phase amplification format allowed the rapid and correct identification of 20 nucleotide positions from minute amounts of human genomic DNA. Our results suggest that this approach might constitute a vital component of future integrated DNA chip devices used in gene analysis. 相似文献

A microRNA detection system based on padlock probes and rolling circle amplification 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
The differential expression and the regulatory roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) are being studied intensively these years. Their minute size of only 19-24 nucleotides and strong sequence similarity among related species call for enhanced methods for reliable detection and quantification. Moreover, miRNA expression is generally restricted to a limited number of specific cells within an organism and therefore requires highly sensitive detection methods. Here we present a simple and reliable miRNA detection protocol based on padlock probes and rolling circle amplification. It can be performed without specialized equipment and is capable of measuring the content of specific miRNAs in a few nanograms of total RNA. 相似文献

Coupled rolling circle amplification loop-mediated amplification for rapid detection of short DNA sequences 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Circularizable oligonucleotide probes can detect short DNA sequences with single-base resolution at the site of ligation and can be amplified by rolling circle amplification (RCA) using strand displacing polymerases. A secondary amplification scheme was developed that uses the loop-mediated amplification reaction concurrent with RCA to achieve rapid signal development from the starting circular molecules. This isothermal reaction was found to be significantly faster than the comparable hyperbranching amplification method and could detect 100 circular copies in less than 1 h. 相似文献

Association studies using common sequence variants or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may provide a powerful approach to dissect the genetic inheritance of common complex traits. Such studies necessitate the development of cost-effective, high throughput technologies for scoring SNPs. The method described in this paper for the co-detection of both alleles of a SNP in a single homogeneous reaction combines the specificity of a high fidelity DNA ligation step with the power of rolling circle amplification. The incorporation of Amplifluor™ energy transfer primers enables signal detection in a homogeneous format, making this approach highly amenable to automation. The adaptation of the genotyping method for high throughput screening using conventional liquid handling systems is described. 相似文献

A simple isothermal nucleic-acid amplification reaction, primer generation–rolling circle amplification (PG–RCA), was developed to detect specific nucleic-acid sequences of sample DNA. This amplification method is achievable at a constant temperature (e.g. 60°C) simply by mixing circular single-stranded DNA probe, DNA polymerase and nicking enzyme. Unlike conventional nucleic-acid amplification reactions such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), this reaction does not require exogenous primers, which often cause primer dimerization or non-specific amplification. Instead, ‘primers’ are generated and accumulated during the reaction. The circular probe carries only two sequences: (i) a hybridization sequence to the sample DNA and (ii) a recognition sequence of the nicking enzyme. In PG–RCA, the circular probe first hybridizes with the sample DNA, and then a cascade reaction of linear rolling circle amplification and nicking reactions takes place. In contrast with conventional linear rolling circle amplification, the signal amplification is in an exponential mode since many copies of ‘primers’ are successively produced by multiple nicking reactions. Under the optimized condition, we obtained a remarkable sensitivity of 84.5 ymol (50.7 molecules) of synthetic sample DNA and 0.163 pg (~60 molecules) of genomic DNA from Listeria monocytogenes, indicating strong applicability of PG–RCA to various molecular diagnostic assays. 相似文献

A novel and sensitive fluorescence biosensor based on aptamer and rolling circle amplification for the determination of cocaine was developed in the present work. Here cocaine aptamers immobilized onto Au nanoparticles modified magnetic beads hybridized with short DNA strand. In the presence of cocaine, the short DNA strand was displaced from aptamer owing to cocaine specially binding with aptamer. Next, the short DNA strand was separated by magnetic beads and used to originate rolling circle amplification as primer. The end products of rolling circle amplification were detected by fluorescence signal generation upon molecular beacons hybridizing with the end products of rolling circle amplification. With rolling circle amplification and the separation by magnetic beads reducing the background signal, the new strategy was suitable for the detection of as low as 0.48 nM cocaine. Compared with reported cocaine sensors, our method exhibited excellent sensitivity. Our new strategy may provide a platform for numerous proteins and low molecular weight analytes to highly sensitively detect by DNA amplification. 相似文献

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) generates large single-stranded and tandem repeats of target DNA as amplicons. This technique was applied to in situ nucleic acid amplification (in situ RCA) to visualize and count single Escherichia coli cells carrying a specific gene sequence. The method features (i) one short target sequence (35 to 39 bp) that allows specific detection; (ii) maintaining constant fluorescent intensity of positive cells permeabilized extensively after amplicon detection by fluorescence in situ hybridization, which facilitates the detection of target bacteria in various physiological states; and (iii) reliable enumeration of target bacteria by concentration on a gelatin-coated membrane filter. To test our approach, the presence of the following genes were visualized by in situ RCA: green fluorescent protein gene, the ampicillin resistance gene and the replication origin region on multicopy pUC19 plasmid, as well as the single-copy Shiga-like toxin gene on chromosomes inside E. coli cells. Fluorescent antibody staining after in situ RCA also simultaneously identified cells harboring target genes and determined the specificity of in situ RCA. E. coli cells in a nonculturable state from a prolonged incubation were periodically sampled and used for plasmid uptake study. The numbers of cells taking up plasmids determined by in situ RCA was up to 10(6)-fold higher than that measured by selective plating. In addition, in situ RCA allowed the detection of cells taking up plasmids even when colony-forming cells were not detected during the incubation period. By optimizing the cell permeabilization condition for in situ RCA, this method can become a valuable tool for studying free DNA uptake, especially in nonculturable bacteria. 相似文献

Circularizing oligonucleotide probes (padlock probes) have the potential to detect sets of gene sequences with high specificity and excellent selectivity for sequence variants, but sensitivity of detection has been limiting. By using a rolling circle replication (RCR) mechanism, circularized but not unreacted probes can yield a powerful signal amplification. We demonstrate here that in order for the reaction to proceed efficiently, the probes must be released from the topological link that forms with target molecules upon hybridization and ligation. If the target strand has a nearby free 3' end, then the probe-target hybrids can be displaced by the polymerase used for replication. The displaced probe can then slip off the targetstrand and a rolling circle amplification is initiated. Alternatively, the target sequence itself can prime an RCR after its non-base paired 3' end has been removed by exonucleolytic activity. We found the Phi29 DNA polymerase to be superior to the Klenow fragment in displacing the target DNA strand, and it maintained the polymerization reaction for at least 12 h, yielding an extension product that represents several thousand-fold the length of the padlock probe. 相似文献

Accessing single nucleotide polymorphisms in genomic DNA by direct multiplex polymerase chain reaction amplification on oligonucleotide microarrays 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

This study introduces a DNA microarray-based genotyping system for accessing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) directly from a genomic DNA sample. The described one-step approach combines multiplex amplification and allele-specific solid-phase PCR into an on-chip reaction platform. The multiplex amplification of genomic DNA and the genotyping reaction are both performed directly on the microarray in a single reaction. Oligonucleotides that interrogate single nucleotide positions within multiple genomic regions of interest are covalently tethered to a glass chip, allowing quick analysis of reaction products by fluorescence scanning. Due to a fourfold SNP detection approach employing simultaneous probing of sense and antisense strand information, genotypes can be automatically assigned and validated using a simple computer algorithm. We used the described procedure for parallel genotyping of 10 different polymorphisms in a single reaction and successfully analyzed more than 100 human DNA samples. More than 99% of genotype data were in agreement with data obtained in control experiments with allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization and capillary sequencing. Our results suggest that this approach might constitute a powerful tool for the analysis of genetic variation. 相似文献
