Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nucleic acids, oligonucleotides, PNA oligomers and a method for the diagnosis and / or therapy of diseases which are related to the genetic and / or epigenetic parameters of genes associated with the immune system and in particular their methylation status.
  • the immune system recognizes microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi) that have entered the body and makes them harmless.
  • the so-called non-specific, humoral defense system is generally directed against invading pathogens and tries to kill them regardless of the type of pathogen and the triggering disease.
  • the second system is the specific, cellular defense system. It works much more specifically against pathogens by forming antibodies according to the structure of the respective pathogen, with the help of which the disease is overcome. Certain pathogens are recognized when they reappear and eliminated more quickly; in some cases the organism is immune for life.
  • Immune diseases do not only refer to diseases that are caused by pathogens and that a healthy immune system can usually successfully combat. In many chronic diseases such as rheumatism or asthma, a so-called immunodeficiency is significantly involved in the disease process. Last but not least, stress and other psychological stresses have a negative impact on the immune system. Diseases that are caused by incorrect or overreactions of an intact immune system are called allergies, such as. B. Asthma (Kuo ML, Huang JL, Yeh KW, Li PS, Hsieh KH.

  • Cancer cells show changed properties compared to normal body cells and often also form other proteins that play a crucial role in the recognition of 'self' and 'foreign' in the immune system. They are presented in the body to the T-killer cells, bound to MHC molecules on the outside of cells. The T-killer cells control whether the peptides come from normal proteins. If a peptide is not from a normal, When the body's own protein is cut out, the T cells initiate the destruction of the cell, which displays the modified or foreign peptide.

  • Treatment methods for immune diseases focus primarily on allergies, autoimmune diseases and the development of vaccines in order to have stronger immune responses against pathogenic organisms and cancer (Driver AM, Bazan JF, Papathanasiou P, Nelms KA, Goodnow CC. A genomic view of immunology. Narure. 2001 Feb 15; 409 (6822): 836-8).
  • 5-Methylcytosine is the most common covalently modified base in the DNA of eukaryotic cells. For example, it plays a role in the regulation of transcription, in genetic imprinting and in tumorigenesis. The identification of 5-methylcytosine as a component of genetic information is therefore of considerable interest. However, 5-methylcytosine positions cannot be identified by sequencing since 5-methylcytosine has the same base pairing behavior as cytosine. In addition, in the case of a PCR amplification, the epigenetic information which the 5-methylcytosines carry is completely lost.
  • a relatively new and the most frequently used method for the investigation of DNA for 5-methylcytosine is based on the specific reaction of bisulfite with cytosine, which is converted into uracil after alkaline hydrolysis, which corresponds to the thymidine in its base pairing behavior.
  • 5-methylcytosine is not modified under these conditions.
  • the original DNA is thus converted in such a way that methylcytosine, which originally cannot be distinguished from the cytosine by its hybridization behavior, can now be detected by "normal" molecular biological techniques as the only remaining cytosine, for example by amplification and hybridization or sequencing.
  • the bisulfite technique has so far been used with a few exceptions (e.g. Zeschnigk M, Lieh C, Buiting K, Doerfler W, Horsthemke B. A single-tube PCR test for the diagnosis of Angelman and Prader-Willi syndrome based on allelic methylation differences at the SNRPN locus. Eur J Hum Genet. 1997 Mar-Apr; 5 (2): 94-8) used only in research. However, short, specific pieces of a known gene are always amplified after bisulfite treatment and either completely sequenced (Olek A, Walter J.

  • Fluorescence-labeled probes have been used in many cases for scanning an immobilized DNA array.
  • the simple attachment of Cy3 and Cy5 dyes to the 5'-OH of the respective probe is particularly suitable for fluorescent labels.
  • the fluorescence of the hybridized probes is detected, for example, using a confocal microscope.
  • the dyes Cy3 and Cy5, among many others, are commercially available.
  • Matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry is one very powerful development for the analysis of biomolecules (Karas M, Hillenkamp F. Laser desorption ionization of proteins with molecular masses exceeding 10,000 daltons. Anal Chem. 1988 Oct 15; 60 (20): 2299-301).
  • An analyte is embedded in a light-absorbing matrix. The matrix is evaporated by a short laser pulse and the analyte molecule is thus transported unfragmented into the gas phase. The ionization of the analyte is achieved by collisions with matrix molecules.
  • An applied voltage accelerates the ions into a field-free flight tube. Due to their different masses, ions are accelerated to different extents. Smaller ions reach the detector earlier than larger ones.
  • MALDI-TOF spectrometry is ideal for the analysis of peptides and proteins.
  • the analysis of nucleic acids is somewhat more difficult (Gut I G, Beck S. DNA and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry. Current Innovations and Future Trends. 1995, 1; 147-57).
  • the sensitivity for nucleic acids is about 100 times worse than for peptides and decreases disproportionately with increasing fragment size. For nucleic acids that have a backbone that is often negatively charged, the ionization process through the matrix is much more inefficient.
  • MALDI-TOF spectrometry the choice of the matrix plays an eminently important role.
  • Genonic DNA is obtained by standard methods from DNA from cell, tissue or other test samples. This standard methodology can be found in references such as Fritsch and Maniatis eds., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 1989.

  • bisulfite is used in the concentration range for the reaction, an addition takes place on the unmethylated cytosine bases.
  • a denaturing reagent or solvent and a radical scavenger must be present. Subsequent alkaline hydrolysis then leads to the conversion of unmethylated cytosine nucleobases into uracil.
  • This converted DNA is used to detect methylated cytosines. Diluted in the second process step the treated DNA sample with water or an aqueous solution. Desulfonation of the DNA is then preferably carried out.
  • the DNA sample is amplified in a polymerase chain reaction, preferably with a heat-resistant DNA polymerase.
  • cytosines of the ESR1 gene are examined.
  • the specific primer oligonucleotides AGGGGGAATTAAATAGAAAGAG SEQ ID NO: 2421
  • CAATAAAACCATCCCAAATACT (SEQ ID NO: 2422) amplified a defined fragment with a length of 662 bp.
  • This amplificate serves as a sample which hybridizes to an oligonucleotide previously bound to a solid phase to form a duplex structure, for example TTTAATTTCGGGTTGTGT (SEQ ID NO: 2423) for detection of a methylated state and TTTAATTTTGGGTTGTGT (SEQ ID NO: 2424) for detection of not -methylated state, where the cytosine to be detected is at position 527 of the amplificate.
  • the detection of the hybridization product is based on Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence-labeled primer oligonucleotides that were used for the amplification.
  • a hybridization reaction of the amplified DNA with the oligonucleotide occurs only if a methylated cytosine was present at this point in the bisulfite-treated DNA.
  • the methylation status of the respective cytosine to be examined thus decides on the hybridization product.
  • FIG. 1 a non-methylated status is shown for the oligomers in Figure A and a partially methylated status for the oligomers in Figure B.
  • methylation pattern In order to relate the methylation pattern to one of the diseases associated with the immune system, it is first necessary to examine the DNA methylation pattern of a group of sick and a group of healthy patients. These tests are carried out, for example, analogously to Example 1. The results thus obtained are stored in a database and the CpG dinucleotides, which are methylated differently between the two groups, by z. B. identified probes. Simultaneous analysis of the entire methylation status is also possible, and the patterns can e.g. by means of clustering analyzes, e.g. can be carried out by a computer.
  • Example 2 can be carried out, for example, for the following diseases: asthma, atherosclerosis, anemia, pancreatic carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, Alzheimer's disease, AIDS, epilepsy, neurofibromatosis.
