Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for identifying cytosine methylation patterns in genomic DNA samples.
- 5-Methylcytosine nucleobases which are created by reversible methylation of DNA in the cell, are an epigenetic information carrier and are used, for example, to regulate promoters.
- the methylation state of a genome represents the current status of gene expression, similar to an mRNA expression pattern.
- 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, genomic 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 PCR amplification, the epigenetic information which the 5-methylcytosines carry is completely lost.
- a chemical reaction or enzymatic treatment of the genomic DNA is usually carried out, as a result of which the cytosine bases can be distinguished from the methyl cytosine bases.
- a common method is Reaction of genomic DNA with bisulfite, which leads to conversion of the cytosine bases into uracil in two steps after alkaline hydrolysis (Shapiro, R., Cohen, B., Servis, R. Nature 227, 1047 (1970).
- 5-Methylcytosine remains unchanged under these conditions: The conversion from C to U leads to a change in the base sequence, from which the original 5-methylcytosines can now be determined by sequencing (only these still provide a band in the C lane).
- Sequence information also has to be determined less and less again, since the genome projects, whose goal is the complete sequence of different organisms, are making rapid progress. Although only about 5% of the human genome is currently fully sequenced, an additional 5% is added every year because other genome projects are coming to an end, which frees up sequencing resources. The sequencing of the human genome is expected to be completed by 2006.
- Matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry is a new, very powerful development for the analysis of biomolecules (Karas, M. and Hillenkamp, F. 1988. Laser desorption ionization of proteins with molecular asses exceeding 10,000 daltons. Anal Chem. 60: 2299-2301).
- An analyte molecule is ne embedded in the UV absorbing matrix.
- a short laser pulse evaporates the matrix into a vacuum, thus transporting the analyte unfragmented into the gas phase.
- 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. The flight time is converted into the mass of the ions.
- DE delayed extraction
- MALDI is ideal for the analysis of peptides and proteins.
- the sensitivity for nucleic acids is about 100 times worse than for peptides and decreases disproportionately with increasing fragment size. The reason for this is that only a single proton has to be captured for the ionization of peptides and proteins.
- nucleic acids that have a backbone that is often negatively charged the ionization process through the matrix is much more inefficient.
- MALDI the choice of the matrix plays an eminently important role. For the desorption of peptides, some very powerful matrices have been found which result in a very fine crystallization. Although some suitable matrices have now been found for DNA, this did not reduce the difference in sensitivity.
- Phosphorothioate nucleic acids in which the usual phosphates of the backbone are substituted by thiophosphates, can be converted into a charge-neutral DNA by simple alkylation chemistry. Coupling a "charge tag" to this modified DNA results in an increase in sensitivity in the same range as that found for peptides. These modifications also made it possible to use matrices similar to those used for the desorption of peptides. Another advantage of charge tagging is the increased stability of the analysis against contamination, which makes the detection of unmodified substrates very difficult. PNAs and methylphosphonate oligonucleotides have been examined with MALDI and can thus be analyzed.
- This technology is currently able to distinguish molecules with a mass difference of 1 Da in the mass range from 1,000 to 4,000 Da. Due to the natural distribution of isotopes, most biomolecules are already about 5 Da wide. Technically, this mass spectrometric method is ideally suited for the analysis of biomolecules. Products to be analyzed that are to be differentiated must be reasonably at least 5 Da apart. In this mass range, 600 molecules could be distinguished.
- An array with many thousands of target DNAs can be immobilized on a solid phase and then all target DNAs can be examined together for the presence of a sequence by means of a probe (nucleic acid with complementary sequence).
- Probes can be any nucleic acid sequences of any length. There are different procedures for the selection of optimal libraries of probe sequences that minimally overlap. Probe sequences can also be put together in a targeted manner in order to find specific target DNA sequences. Oligo fingerprinting is an approach that uses this technology.
- a library of target DNAs is scanned with short nucleic acid probes. Most of the probes here are only 8-12 bases long.
- One probe at a time is hybridized to a target DNA library immobilized on a nylon membrane. The probe is radioactively labeled and the hybridization is assessed based on the location of the radioactivity. Fluorescently labeled probes have also been used to scan an immobilized DNA array.
- No. 5,605,798 describes the scanning of target nucleic acids immobilized via hybridization using nucleic acid probes and mass spectrometry. In this case, however, identification of methylation uesters is not specifically carried out, nor are modified nucleic acids (eg PNAs, charge tags) used, nor is genome amplification carried out.
- modified nucleic acids eg PNAs, charge tags
- Any molecule that can sequence-specifically interact with a target DNA can be used as probes.
- the most common are oligodeoxyribonucleotides.
- any modification of nucleic acids is possible, for example peptide nucleic acids (PNA), phosphorothioate oligonucleotides or methylphosphonate oligonucleotides.
- PNA peptide nucleic acids
- phosphorothioate oligonucleotides or methylphosphonate oligonucleotides.
- the specificity of a probe is very important. Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides are not particularly suitable because their structure is disturbed by the sulfur atoms and thus the hybridization property. One reason for this could be that phosphorothioate oligonucleotides are normally not synthesized diastereomerically pure.
- oligonucleotides blem, however, these oligonucleotides are increasingly synthesized diastereomerically.
- An essential difference of this modification is the uncharged backbone, which leads to a reduced dependence of the hybridization on buffer salts and, overall, to the higher affinity due to the lower rejection.
- Peptide nucleic acids also have an uncharged backbone, which at the same time chemically differs greatly from the common sugar-phosphate structure of the backbone in nucleic acids.
- the backbone of a PNA has an amide sequence instead of the sugar-phosphate backbone of ordinary DNA. PNA hybridizes very well with DNA complementary sequence. The melting temperature of a PNA / DNA hybrid is higher than that of the corresponding DNA / DNA hybrid and, in turn, the dependence of hybridization on buffer salts is relatively low.
- Combinatorial syntheses i.e. the production of substance libraries from a mixture of precursors is carried out both in the solid and in the liquid phase.
- the combinatorial solid-phase synthesis in particular established itself at an early stage, since in this case the separation of by-products is particularly easy. Only the target compounds bound to the support are retained in a washing step and isolated at the end of the synthesis by the targeted cleavage of a linker. This technique allows the simultaneous synthesis of a large number of different compounds on a solid phase in a simple manner and thus the maintenance of chemically "pure" substance libraries.
- Peptides are synthesized by binding the first N-protected amino acid (e.g. Boc) to the support, then deprotecting and reacting the second amino acid with the released NH2 group of the first. In a further “capping" step, unreacted amino functions are withdrawn from a further reaction in the next synthesis cycle. The protective group on the amino function of the second amino acid is removed and the next building block can be coupled. A mixture of amino acids in one or more steps is used to synthesize peptide libraries. PNA and PNA libraries are synthesized analogously.

- a mixture of amino acids in one or more steps is used to synthesize peptide libraries.
- PNA and PNA libraries are synthesized analogously.
- Nucleic acid libraries are mostly obtained by solid phase synthesis with mixtures of different phosphoramidite nucleosides. This can be done on commercially available DNA synthesizers without changes in the synthesis protocols.
- the best known method is the binding of a DNA that is functionalized with biotin to one Streptavidin-coated surface.
- the bond strength of this system corresponds to a covalent chemical bond without being one.
- the target DNA In order to be able to covalently bind a target DNA to a chemically prepared surface, the target DNA must have a corresponding functionality.
- DNA itself has no functionalization that is suitable.
- two easy-to-use functionalizations are primary, aliphatic amines and thiols. Such amines are reacted quantitatively with N-hydroxy-succinimide esters and thiols react quantitatively with alkyl iodides under suitable conditions.
- One difficulty is in introducing such functionalization into DNA.
- the simplest variant is the introduction by means of a PCR primer.
- the variants shown use 5 'modified primers (NH2 and SH) and a bifunctional linker.
- An essential part of immobilization on a surface is its condition. Systems described so far are mainly made of silicon or metal (magnetic beads). Another method for binding a target DNA is based on using a short recognition sequence (e.g. 20 bases) in the target DNA for hybridization to a surface-immobilized oligonucleotide.
- a short recognition sequence e.g. 20 bases
- Enzymatic variants for introducing chemically activated positions into a target DNA have also been described.

It is particularly preferred here that covalent chemical bonds are formed for cross-linking. It is also preferred according to the invention that electrostatic interactions are formed for cross-linking.
- oligonucleotide or PNA sequences bound to the surface contain 5-bromouracil building blocks.
- the immobilized complementary oligonucleotide sequences contain modified bases, ribose or backbone units.
- the method according to the invention is further characterized in that in b) the genomic DNA sample is multiplied in the form of several amplified fragments, so that at least 0.01% of the entire genome is amplified.
- the mixture of amplified DNA fragments is placed on a surface binds, on which a multitude of different points are arranged, each of which is able to bind different parts of the amplified DNA sample.
- a set of probes is used in d) which contains the dinucleotide sequence 5'-CpG-3 'only once per probe and the probes otherwise comprise either no cytosine or no guanine bases.
- step a) uses a bisulfite or pyrosulfite or disulfite solution or a mixture of the stated solutions, together with other reagents for the specific or sufficiently selective conversion of cytosine into uracil.
- the surface used to immobilize amplified sample DNA is also the sample carrier for a mass spectrometer. It is preferred that the surface used for the immobilization of amplified sample DNA is applied as a whole before f) to a sample holder for a mass spectrometer. It is also preferred here that the hybridized probes are detached from the immobilized amplified DNA samples before, after or by contact with a matrix.

- the probes are modified nucleic acid molecules.
- the modified nucleic acid molecules are PNAs, alkylated phosphorothioate nucleic acids or alkyl phosphonate nucleic acids.
- the probes are produced by combinatorial synthesis. It is particularly preferred according to the invention that different base building blocks are marked in such a way that the probes synthesized from them can each be distinguished by their masses in the mass spectrometer.
- the probes are produced as sub-libraries and these are provided with different mass and / or charge tags.
- MALDI matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization mass spectrometry
- Another object of the present invention is a kit for carrying out the method according to the invention, comprising a sample carrier for a mass spectrometer, which is modified in such a way that arbitrarily selectable parts of a genome are immobilized on the latter and / or probe libraries with which the DNA immobilized on the sample carrier is analyzed by mass spectrometry and / or other chemicals, solvents and / or auxiliaries and, if applicable, an operating manual.
- the method according to the invention serves to identify 5-methylcytosine positions in genomic DNA, which can be of very different origins.
- genomic DNA is first treated chemically so that there is a difference in the reaction of the cytosine bases to the 5-
- Methylcytosine bases results. Possible reagents are here z. B. disulfite (also called bisulfite), hydrazine and permanganate.
- the genomic DNA is treated with disulfite in the presence of hydroquinone or hydroquinone derivatives, the cytosine bases being selectively converted to uracil after subsequent alkaline hydrolysis. 5-methylcytosine remains unchanged under these conditions.

- the hybridized probes give a peak pattern that can be used to infer the sequences at which hybridization took place. Due to the pretreatment (preferably with bisulfite), DNA fragments methylated differently on the cytosine result in different sequences. Therefore, the peak patterns generated by the probes in the mass spectrometer are characteristic methyl- Pattern of each DNA sample examined. These methylation patterns are compared with those of a database.
