Rapid Electrochemical Assessment of Tumor Suppressor Gene Methylations in Raw Human Serum and Tumor Cells and Tissues Using Immunomagnetic Beads and Selective DNA Hybridization.
Angewandte Chemie 2018 July 3
We report a rapid and sensitive electrochemical strategy for the detection of gene-specific 5-methylcytosine DNA methylation. Magnetic beads (MBs) modified with an antibody for 5-methylcytosines (5-mC) are used for the capture of any 5-mC methylated single-stranded (ss)DNA sequence. A flanking region next to the 5-mCs of the captured methylated ssDNA is recognized by hybridization with a synthetic biotinylated DNA sequence. Amperometric transduction at disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) is employed. The developed biosensor has a dynamic range from 3.9 to 500 pm and a limit of detection of 1.2 pm for the methylated synthetic sequence of the tumor suppressor gene O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter region. The method is applied in the 45-min analysis of specific methylation in the MGMT promoter region directly in raw spiked human serum samples and in genomic DNA extracted from U-87 glioblastoma cells and paraffin-embedded brain tumor tissues without any amplification and pretreatment step.
