Gene-Specific DNA MethylationDetection Methods Daniel Goan Anna Tseng Joanna Tychowski Feb 2, 2012
Overview Southern-blot hybridization DNA Digestion Based COBRA MSP Bisulfite Sequencing Bisulfite Based Real-time MSP MethyLight MassARRAY Pyrosequencing
PCR Review PCR Needs: Template DNA Polymerase Primers (Forward + Reverse) dNTPs Buffer
Methylation-Specific PCR Primer to methylated or unmethylated sequences TaqMan SYBR Green 1 MethyLight Real-time MSP *All 3 start with Bisulfite treatment
Methylation Specific PCR Test for presence/absence of methylation CH3 CH3 G C C G G C G C U U C G T C 1. Bisulfite treatment 2. Methylation specific primers/ Non-methylation specific primers + RNAP extends primers Primer: (Herman, 1996)

Methylation Specific PCR Pros Cons -Qualitative -Presence/absence of meth/unmeth DNA molecules • Small amount of DNA • Easy to use • Low cost
Real-time MSP MethyLight Quenched TaqMan 3’Quencher 5’Fluorophore Fluorescing TaqMan CH3 C G C Bisulfite treatment Meth specific primer Bind TaqMan probe Run PCR w/TaqMan Pol Measure fluorescence G CH3 CH3 C C G G (Eads C, 2000)
Real-time MSP MethyLight Cons Pros -Quantitative -Sequence specific -Small amount of DNA -Easy to use -Expensive -Requires probe -One meth pattern
Real-time MSP SYBR Green CH3 CH3 C C SYBR Green (prefers GC-rich) Add meth specific primer Add dye Run PCR Dye binds DS DNA+fluorescence Measure fluorescence (Hatterman, 2008)
Real-time MSP SYBR Green Cons Pros -Quantitative -GC specific -Small amount of DNA -Easy to use -Less expensive than TaqMan -Not as specific as TaqMan
Proceed with Caution Primer Design -Need methylated and unmethylated primers PCR Cycles -Optimum number of PCR cycles Temp -Fully methylated DNA (CG-rich) -Unmethylated DNA (TG-rich) Dyes -Don’t inhibit PCR (Tollefsbol, Chapter 8)
MethyLight in Cervical Cancer Diagnosis High Grade Lesions Low Grade Lesions CIN3 CIN1 CIN2 (Cancer) Check Methylation Patterns!
Methylation Patterns can Distinguish Lesion Grades CCNAI PAX1 DAPK1 TFI2 HS3ST2 Specific Sensitive Potential for high-throughput (Lim E, et al. 2010)
