Sensitive Melting Analysis after Real Time- Methylation Specific PCR (SMART-MSP): high-throughput and probe-free quantitative DNA methylation detection
DNA methylation changes that are recurrent in cancer have generated great interest as potential biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of cancer. In such situations, essential information is missed if the methylation detection is purely qualitative. We describe a new probe-free quantitative methylation-specific PCR (MSP) assay that incorporates evaluation of the amplicon by high-reso...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of aberrant p16 methylation using real-time quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction.
We have developed a quantitative method for methylation analysis of the p16 gene based on real-time methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Real-time MSP is sensitive enough to detect down to 10 genome equivalents of the methylated p16 sequence. Application of real-time MSP to DNA from tumor-derived cell lines revealed complete concordance with conventional MSP analysis. Quantitative data generated by ...
متن کاملA real-time PCR assay for DNA-methylation using methylation-specific blockers.
DNA methylation-based biomarkers have been discovered that could potentially be used for the diagnosis of cancer by detection of circulating, tumor-derived DNA in bodily fluids. Any methylation detection assay that would be applied to these samples must be capable of detecting small amounts of tumor DNA in the presence of background normal DNA. We have developed a real-time PCR assay, called He...
متن کاملMethylation-sensitive high resolution melting (MS-HRM): a new approach for sensitive and high-throughput assessment of methylation
In this article, we show that high resolution melting analysis (HRM) is a sensitive and specific method for the detection of methylation. Methylated DNA and unmethylated DNA acquire different sequences after bisulphite treatment resulting in PCR products with markedly different melting profiles. We used PCR to amplify both methylated and unmethylated sequences and assessed HRM for the determina...
متن کاملQuantitative high-throughput analysis of DNA methylation patterns by base-specific cleavage and mass spectrometry.
Methylation is one of the major epigenetic processes pivotal to our understanding of carcinogenesis. It is now widely accepted that there is a relationship between DNA methylation, chromatin structure, and human malignancies. DNA methylation is potentially an important clinical marker in cancer molecular diagnostics. Understanding epigenetic modifications in their biological context involves se...
