Definitions
- the present invention is directed to mutation scanning arrays, and methods of use thereof.
- the method can be used to rapidly identify mutations and/ or polymorphisms on a nucleic acid segment, or in an arbitrary mixture of nucleic acid segments or genes.
- mutations in certain genes have been associated with a variety of disorders - ranging from blood disorders to cancers. Genetic tests are thus becoming an increasingly important facet of medical care. Consequently, there has been an emphasis on the ability to rapidly and efficiently detect mutations and polymorphisms.
- DGGE Denaturing Gradient Get Electrophoresis
- CDGE Constant Denaturant Gel Electrophoresis
- SSCP Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism
- HA Heteroduplex Analysis
- PTT Protein Truncation Test
- This method comprises first identifying a DNA segment containing mismatches. Those mismatches can either be single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) or mutations. Thereafter, one selects a DNA segment of from about 50-300 nucleotides containing a mismatch. Those DNA segments can be amplified by PCR and then screened on the DNA chip.
- SNP single nucleotide polymorphisms
- the present methodology instead of selecting a single gene at a time and examining whether it contains mutations, the present methodology first scans DNA to identify and isolate mismatch-containing and thereby mutation-containing DNA fragments (genotypic selection), and then determines which genes these DNA fragments belong to, by using available DNA arrays.
- the search for mutations is transformed to the easier task of searching for genes on a DNA array to identify where the mismatch occurs.
- DNA arrays currently used for multiplexed gene expression scanning [Wodicka L, Nature Biotechnology 15: 1359-1367 (1997); Lockhart, DJ, Nature
- one preferred method of identifying DNA fragments containing such mismatches involved the following steps; (a) isolating the nucleic acid, e.g., DNA, to be screened for mutations (referred to as the target DNA), adding PCR primers, and hybridizing it with control DNA, to create mismatches.
- mismatches occur at the exact positions of mutations or polymorphisms; (b) removing any pre-existing, spontaneous aldehydes by, for example, treating the DNA with hydroxylamine; (c) using repair glycosylase enzymes (Mut Y and TDG) to convert the mismatches to reactive sites, namely, aldehyde-containing abasic sites (these enzymes recognize mismatches and will 'cut' the nucleic acid base, e.g., adenine at that site to create a reactive site); (d) using compounds (e.g.
- ligands with functional groups that at one site can covalently bind to the reactive sites on the DNA, and that at a second site contain unique moieties that can be detected; (e) binding antibodies or avidin to the detectable second sites of the DNA-bound ligands. These antibodies or avidin may carry chemiluminescent or other indicators, so that the total reactive sites on the nucleic acid, e.g., DNA segment(s) tested is quantified, e.g. by chemiluminescence; (f) purifying the segments where a reactive site is present (e.g. by immunoprecipitation, or by ELISA-microplate-based techniques, or by microsphere-based techniques).
- the rest of the nucleic acid e.g., DNA that does not contain mismatches can then be discarded; and (g) amplifying the remaining, mismatch containing nucleic acid, e.g., DNA, by PCR using the primers added in the first step.
- That mismatch-containing DNA can then be used in the above- described method with our mutation scanning arrays. (These arrays are sometimes also referred to as DNA chips.)
- using the arrays of the present invention one can determine which gene each identified mismatch belongs to. Thereafter, known techniques can be used to determine whether that mismatch is a mutation that either causes the disorder or is associated with the disorder or simply an allelic variation, i.e. a polymorphism.
- the present invention permits biochemical approaches for chemically modifying mutations in a target nucleic acid sequence.
- the mutations are converted to mismatches following hybridization with control nucleic acid sequence.
- the mismatches in the hybrid nucleic acid e.g. DNA can then be covalently bound by a ligand molecule, and then identified by a detectable moiety. Subsequently the mismatch-containing DNA can be purified by known means such as immunoprecipitation and the mutation-containing genes detected.
- the target nucleic acid can be cDNA or genomic DNA.
- the DNA can be any mixture containing one or various sizes of DNA, such as cDNA synthesized from the whole mRNA collected from cells that need to be screened for mutation /polymorphism; or fractions thereof; or the whole genomic DNA collected from cells that need to be screened for mutation/polymorphism; or fractions thereof; or any combination of the above digested into smaller pieces by enzymes.
- cDNA synthesized from the whole mRNA collected from cells that need to be screened for mutation /polymorphism; or fractions thereof; or the whole genomic DNA collected from cells that need to be screened for mutation/polymorphism; or fractions thereof; or any combination of the above digested into smaller pieces by enzymes.
- the use of cDNA is preferable.
- This method can also be used to detect a variety of other labeled DNA sites such as DNA lesions that are converted to reactive sites by glycosylase enzymes or by chemical means (e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites; abasic sites; carcinogen- DNA adducts; damaged DNA bases).
- glycosylase enzymes e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites; abasic sites; carcinogen- DNA adducts; damaged DNA bases.
- chemical means e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites; abasic sites; carcinogen- DNA adducts; damaged DNA bases.
- Such enzymes include all known glycosylases, such as endonuclease III, uracil glycosylase, T4 endonuclease V, 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase, 3- or 7- methylguanine DNA glycosylase, hydroxymethyluracile DNA glycosylase, FaPy-DNA glycosylase, M. Luteus UV-DNA glycosylase.
- chemical agents such as bleomycin, alkylation agents or simple acid hydrolysis can generate reactive sites automatically in target DNA without any enzyme. The crucial step however is again the same, i.e. addition of some compound to the reactive site of a DNA lesion, which allows identification of the DNA-containing the lesion.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic of how the present technology is applied for identification of mutations in a complex mixture of genes, e.g. screening for C to A transversions over hundreds or thousands of genes simultaneously.

- Data in the inset (from us (Makrigiorgos GM, Chakrabarti S and Mahmood S. Int J Radiat Biol, 74: 99-109, 1998) were used to convert chemiluminescence units to AP sites (right axis, see text).

- Figure 8B shows gel electrophoresis of the same DNA, and demonstrates that, in agreement with the chemiluminescence results in Figure 8A, only single stranded M13 plus Mut Y demonstrate DNA digestion (see bands in Lane 2).
- Figures 9A and 9B show detection of a mutation.
- Figure 9A shows chemiluminescence detection of a single mutation (A-to-C transversion) engineered in a p53 gene which is incorporated in a 7091 base pair plasmid. Plasmids containing the mutation were first digested into smaller DNA fragments (400-2,00 bp) by exposure to RSAI enzyme. These were then melted and hybridized with normal plasmids to form mismatches at the position of the mutation. The DNA was then enzymatically - treated with Mut Y to convert mismatches to aldehydes, BARP-labeled and captured on microplates. Bar 1 , plasmid with mismatch, no Mut Y.
- Figure 9B shows the variation of the chemiluminescence signal obtained when different amounts of mismatch- containing plasmid treated by Mut Y and BARP are applied on microplates.
- Figures 10A and 10B compare DNA binding by different compounds.
- 10A demonstrates the binding of the compound, AED, (2-(aminoacetylamino) ethylenediamine) to reactive sites generated at position of mismatches in DNA by the enzyme Mut Y.

- the figure shows samples of M 13 DNA containing mismatches, treated with enzyme and various compounds, stained with ethidium bromide and examined via gel electrophoresis.
- a sample of M 13 DNA without enzymatic treatment shows a single bright band in lane A.
- the sample of plasmid DNA treated with the enzyme Mut Y shows multiple bands, demonstrating the expected recognition and cutting of mismatched bases by Mut Y in lane B.
- Lane C In Lanes C, D and E, the Mut Y treatments are carried out in the presence of 5 mM met ⁇ ioxyamine (C) or in presence of the novel compound AED (D, 5 mM and E, 10 mM AED respectively).
- the disappearance of the bands in lanes C, D and E is an indication of covalent high labeling of DNA by methoxyamine or by AED, at the positions of reactive sites generated by Mut Y.
- Lane F the treatment of DNA was as in Lanes E and D, but another aldehyde reactive compound (BARP) was used instead of AED. Lane F still shows the same multiple bands as those generated in the absence of compound (see Lane B), indicating an inefficient labeling of aldehyde sites by BARP.

- Figure 12 is a schematic showing how the method of mismatch identification can be used with a DNA chip to detect inherited and acquired predisposition to cancer (see text).
- Figure 13 is a procedure to detect polymorphisms and mutations.
- Figure 14 demonstrates the results of four different hybridization experiments.
- Figure 15 shows how a microbead (miscosphere) -based mutation scanning array is constructed.
- the present method permits biochemical approaches for chemically identifying the mismatch sites in, for example, the target DNA sequence.
- the target DNA can be identified by a detectable moiety and subsequently detected and purified by immunoprecipitation, microplates or microsphere technologies. Subsequently, the purified mutation - containing DNA fragments can be used in single-step screening of these mismatches by a wide variety of hybridization techniques (DNA chips, large-scale hybridization arrays, etc.)
- the present method can screen multiple genes at once and/ or multiple individual, and selects and isolates only those fragments containing a mutation/polymorphism.
- These mismatch-containing segments can be amplified by PCR and used, for example, in a DNA array to simply search for the matching gene in the array to identify which genes these mutation-containing fragments belong to. Consequently, existing arrays for multiplexed gene expression scanning such as known in the art can be used.
- Affyrnetrix Hu6800 DNA Chip or known arrays [Wodicka, L. et al, Nature Biotechnology: 15: 1359-1367 (1997); Lockart, D.J. et al, Nature Biotechnology 14: 1675-1680 (1996); Schena, M. Trends Biotechical 16:301-306 (1998): Yang, T.T. et al. Biotechniques 18: 498-503 (1995); Ginot F. Human Mutation 10: 1-10 (1997)].
- the fragment should be smaller.
- the fragments should be at least about 50 bases. In some instances for ease of operation, a loss in resolution can be tolerated and larger fragments used.
- mismatch-containing fragment is 50 - 300 bases, more preferably 50 - 200 bases, still more preferably 50 - 100 bases and most preferably about 50 bases.
- the nucleotides on the array should be between 8-300 bases preferably no larger than the size of the DNA of the mismatch-containing fragments. For improved resolution, smaller sizes should be used. For example, 50 bases or less, more preferably 8-25 bases. Many arrays presently available use nucleotide fragments of about 25 bases. Typically, these nucleotide segments are selected to be close to the 3' portion of the transcript. However, other DNA arrays as discussed, infra, can also be used. Such arrays, which contain fragments that span the whole length of the gene (i.e. from both the 5' end of the gene as well as the 3' end) are preferred.
- mutation scanning arrays can be used with any method that permits one to tag a DNA or mRNA mismatch, thereby permitting the rapid identification of mutations in nucleic acids, e.g. DNA, mRNA or DNA segment(s).
- One preferred method of identifying DNA-containing mismatches is disclosed in copending application U.S.S.N. (09/224,227). That method comprises (a) isolating the nucleic acid, e.g., DNA, to be screened for mutations (referred to as the target DNA), and hybridizing it with control DNA, to create mismatches.
- mismatches occur at the exact positions of mutations or polymorphisms; (b) removing any preexisting, spontaneous aldehydes by, for example, treating the DNA with hydroxylamine; (c) using repair glycosylase enzymes to convert the mismatches to reactive sites, namely, aldehyde- containing abasic sites (these enzymes recognize mismatches and will 'cut' the nucleic acid base, e.g., adenine at that site to create a reactive site); (d) using compounds (e.g.
- ligands with functional groups that at one site can covalently bind to the reactive sites on the DNA, and that at a second site contain unique moieties that can be detected; (e) binding antibodies or avidin to the detectable second sites of the DNA-bound ligands. These antibodies or avidin may carry chemiluminescent or other indicators, so that the total reactive sites on the nucleic acid, e.g., DNA segment(s) tested is quantified, e.g. by chemiluminescence; (f) purifying the segments where a reactive site is present (e.g. by immunoprecipitation, or by ELISA-microplate-based techniques, or by microsphere-based techniques).
- the rest of the nucleic acid e.g., DNA that does not contain mutations can then be discarded; and (g) amplifying the remaining, mutation-containing nucleic acid, e.g., DNA, by PCR. That DNA can then be used with our DNA arrays in order to find which gene each identified mismatch belongs to. Thereafter, by known techniques determining whether that mismatch is a mutation that either causes the disorder or is associated with the disorder or simply an allelic variation, i.e. a polymorphism.
- the present method will recognize mismatches formed upon hybridization of the target DNA and the control (wild-type) DNA.
- Those skilled in the art are aware that mismatches may appear as a result of inherited or acquired genetic alterations. Also, that not every mismatch is the result of mutation but that some mismatches simply represent polymorphisms that occur naturally in populations. Both the inherited and the acquired genetic alterations in DNA will cause a mismatch.
- One method that can be used to identify acquired mutations is to have the control DNA come from the same individual. For example, when screening a malignant cell the control DNA can be obtained from the corresponding non- malignant cell. By screening first the non-malignant cell alone and then the malignant cell (or a mixture of malignant and non-malignant cells) a comparison of detected mismatches in the two cases can be made. Differences that appear solely on the malignant cell and not on the normal cell comprise acquired mutations which may have lead to the malignancy.
- inherited (genetic) mutations/polymorphisms i.e. where the alteration from the wild- type is present at birth and in every cell of the body
- only normal cells need to be examined.
- inherited differences between the two alleles will cause mismatches upon self-hybridization. Detection of these mismatches will indicate the positions of inherited polymorphisms or mutations.
- one standard method to discriminate inherited polymorphisms from inherited mutations is to screen kindred and to determine whether or not the mismatch is present in normal kindred (i.e. a benign polymorphism) or only present in kindred showing a particular abnormality (i.e. a debilitating mutation).
- One of the advantages of the present approach as opposed to mutation- detection methods presently being used is the ability to identify numerous mutations at diverse places in the genome. This permits one to determine if certain genes not presently associated with a particular abnormality may also have some relationship with that abnormality. For example, with hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), mutations in the MSH2 and MLH1 genes are believed to be responsible for approximately 90% of the cases. A number of other genes have been identified as being responsible for the other 10% of the cases. However, in view of the cost of screening one typically looks primarily at MSH2 and MLH1. It may turn out when an array of genes are looked at the same time, that mutations in other genes also play a major role, in an individual with a particular condition. These other mutations may be associated with severity of the condition. By monitoring these additional genes and looking at disease state and recovery, one can develop a better idea of prognosis and treatment regimes than is currently available.
- HNPCC hereditary non-polyposis colore
- mismatches can and will occur in non-coding genetic regions. Looking at non- coding regions can permit the identification of mutations that affect expression and levels of expression. On the other hand when one is interested in looking for mutations in the expressed proteins it is preferable to use the mRNA to generate cDNA, and then form mismatches that can be detected by the present approach.
- the preferred target nucleic acid is DNA, but mRNA can also be used.
- the DNA can be any mixture containing one or various sizes of DNA, such as cDNA synthesized from the whole mRNA collected from cells that need to be screened for mutation/polymorphism; or fractions thereof; or the whole genomic DNA collected from cells that need to be screened for mutation /polymorphism; or fractions thereof; or any combination of the above digested into smaller pieces by enzymes. Thereafter, the DNA, mRNA, whole or smaller pieces thereof can be screened to identify those pieces containing a mismatch. The mismatch-containing pieces are then isolated from the remaining nucleic acid segments. As a result of this selection for mismatch-containing segments, it does not matter whether normal alleles outnumber aberrant segments.
- control nucleic acid can be selected depending upon the intent of the test. For example, where acquired mutations in cancer cells are being screened, the control nucleic acid can come from a "normal" cell from the same individual. In other instances, for example, where an inherited (genetic) component may be involved the control DNA would come from a different subject than providing the nucleic acid; or simply differences among the paternal and maternal alleles can be examined by a self-hybridization of the DNA of the examined individual.
- the DNA is fragmented to reduce its size to the desired 50-300 base pairs, and generic PCR primers are added to the nucleic acids, in order to amplify the preparation at a later stage.
- the target DNA is mixed and hybridized with wild-type DNA to create mismatches at the positions of differences, which are expected to be mutations/polymorphisms.
- the only DNA being used with the DNA array is DNA that contains at least one mismatch.
- Any method of labeling the mismatches in bulk can be used.
- One preferred method involves using repair glycosylases and specific aldehyde compounds to identify mismatches revealed by the glycosylases. For example, creating a mixture of wild-type and target DNA and creating a mixture of segments containing the wild-type: wild-type, target DNA: target DNA and target DNA: wild-type pairs.
- the mixture is preferably treated with a compound such as hydroxylamine to remove any spontaneous aldehydes.
- mismatches that occurred which would be in the wild-type: target DNA hybrids, are recognized and converted to reactive sites (aldehydes) by enzymes such as a glycosylase repair enzyme such as Mut Y and thymine DNA glycosylases (TDG) (e.g., from Hela cells or E. coli).
- a glycosylase repair enzyme such as Mut Y and thymine DNA glycosylases (TDG) (e.g., from Hela cells or E. coli).
- TDG thymine DNA glycosylases
- reactive sites are identified by using a compound containing an aldehyde - binding moiety such as -O-NH2 (-hydroxylamine), or -NHNH2 (- hydrazine) or -NH 2 (-amine) and also having a second moiety that reacts with a detectable entity (e.g. fluorescein, biotin, digoxigenin, which respectively react with antifluorescein antibody, avidin, and antidigoxigenin antibody.
- the antibodies may have chemiluminescence tags on them and thereby are detected).
- a unique feature of the present approach is that the aldehyde - binding moiety binds covalently to the enzyme-generated reactive sites. Combined with the specificity of the mismatch - repair enzymes, the use of covalently bound ligands to the position of mutations results in a sensitivity and specificity which is unparalleled by other methods for detection of mutations and polymorphisms.
- the compounds have the general formula:
- X-Z-Y wherein X is a detectable moiety, preferably X is NH 2 , SH, NHNH 2 , a fluorescein derivative, a hydroxycoumarin derivative, a rhodamine derivative, a BODIPY derivative a digoxigenin derivative or a biotin derivative;

- Z is a hydrocarbon, alkylhydroxyl, alkylethoxy, alkylester, alkylether, alkylamide or alkylamine.
- Z may contain a cleavable group such as S-S.
- Z may be substituted or unsubstituted.
- These reactive sites are identified by using a compound containing an aldehyde - binding moiety (Y) such as -O-NH 2 (-hydroxylamine), or -NHNH2 (- hydrazine) or -NH2 (-amine) and also having a second moiety (X) that reacts with a detectable entity (e.g.
- the aldehyde - binding moiety binds covalently to the enzyme-generated reactive sites. Combined with the specificity of the mismatch - repair enzymes, the use of covalently bound ligands to the position of mutations results in a high sensitivity and specificity.

- the compound has a molecular weight between 100 - 500, more preferably 100 - 300, still more preferably 150 - 200.
- Z and W can be substituted with groups that enhance the solubility of the resultant compound.
- the compounds of the formula X-(CH2) n -(CH2-W) reflex"-(CH2)n-Y are overall soluble in the solvent used.
- a preferred embodiment has the formula;
- a more preferred compound is 2-(aminoacetylamino) ethylenediamine (AED), (NH2CH 2 CH 2 NHC(O)CH2ONH2).
- the DNA reactive site recognized by enzymes such as glycosylases are identified by using compounds that contain a hydroxylamine reactive group.
- hydroxylamine compounds include FARP and FARPhc, both of which are fluorescent.
- FARP is a novel hydroxylamine containing derivative of fluorescein and FARPhc is a novel hydroxylamine containing derivative of hydroxy-coumarin.
- Y'" is O-NH 2 ;
- X' is a fluorescent molecule, a fluorescein derivative or a hydroxy-coumarin derivative.

- More preferred compounds includes fluorescein aldehyde reactive probe, FARP, and fluorescent reactive probe hydroxycoumarin, FARPhc.
- DNA-glycosylase enzymes as described above, will form covalent oxime bonds to FARP and FARPhc.
- the DNA reactive sites recognized by enzymes such as glycosylases are identified by using compounds that contain a hydrazine reactive group.
- An example of this class of compounds includes biotin hydrazine.
- the present invention allows using hydrazine compounds to label reactive sites generated by the DNA-glycosylase enzymes.
- the compound is a biotin aldehyde reactive probe, such as BARP, a biotinylated derivative of hydroxylamine [BARP, Kubo, K, et al., Biochemistry 31:3703-3708 (1992)].

- Y'" is O-NH 2 or NHNH 2 ;
- X" is a detectable molecule, biotin or biotin derivative.
- W, n, n' and n" are defined as above.
- a Y moiety such as an amine should react with the aldehyde on for example the DNA, while the X group remains free for further modification and detection.
- More preferred compounds includes biotin aldehyde reactive probe, BARP [Kubo, K, et al., Biochemistry 31 :3703-3708 (1992)] and biotin hydrazide:
- succinimidylester compound such as biotin-LC-succinimidyl ester; biotin-LC-SS-succinimidyl ester [Pierce]; fluorescein-succinimidyl ester; etc.
- the reaction and purification conditions of such succinimidyl esters with -NH2 containing compounds are well known.
- the free -SH group is first covalently linked to a sulfhydryl-binding compound with a recognizable group (e.g. a maleimide compound such as biotin-LC- maleimide; biotin-LC-SS- maleimide [Pierce]; fluorescein - aleimide; etc.).
- a maleimide compound such as biotin-LC- maleimide; biotin-LC-SS- maleimide [Pierce]; fluorescein - aleimide; etc.
- the reaction and purification conditions of such maleimides with -SH containing compounds are well known.
- small compounds of the formula X'-(CH2)n-(CH2-W)n"-(CH2)n'-Y and of molecular weight less than 200 is preferred. These compounds are water soluble, can be incubated with DNA at a high molarity (e.g. 10 mM), and are able to diffuse fast enough to bind to reactive sites at a much higher level of efficiency than the other compounds (e.g. FARP, BARP) that have higher molecular weights and are less water soluble.
- Purification of the mismatch-containing DNA preferably relies on the utilization of aldehydes as the recognition sites for mismatches resulting in covalent bonding of the marker molecule to these aldehydes. Therefore, the presence of contaminating nucleases that cleave DNA and create 3' hydroxyl groups - containing strand breaks (-a common problem in similar assays-) do not generate binding sites for the marker molecules. This method does not require the use of gel electrophoresis which compares DNA strand by their length or size. Thus, the generation of false positives from strand breaks generated by contaminating nucleases is thereby avoided.
- the method of the invention only detects labeled DNA following covalent binding of such aldehydes with ligand compounds and subsequent immobilization to a solid support, e.g., microplates.
- a solid support e.g., microplates.
- the length and diversity of DNA fragments are irrelevant to the assay, which is another advantage over gel-electrophoretic methods.
- borohydrite sodium- or cyano- borohydrite
- a covalent cross-linking between enzyme and DNA occurs.
- covalently-bound marker molecules biotin, fluorescein, digoxigenin, or other fluorescent or chemiluminescent indicators

- test DNA DNA to be tested for mutations
- control DNA control DNA
- biotinylated Mut Y is added at a Mut Y:DNA molar ratio of 100: 1, in the presence of 100 mM sodium borohydrite.
- Other reaction conditions and reaction buffers are standard, as recommended by the Mut Y supplier.
- the DNA is contacted by a streptavidin-coated solid support (e.g.
- Mutations Streptavidin-coated magnetic microspheres
- the isolated DNA can then be PCR-amplified and/or screened on appropriate mutation scanning arrays in order to identify the mutated genes.
- unmodified Mut Y can first be cross-linked to the DNA via borohydrite and then labeled with biotin through any of its available -NH2- groups. Unreacted biotin is then removed from the DNA-enzyme mixture by known means such as by chromatography or G 125 filtration. This alternate approach allows the enzyme to fully preserve its activity during the DNA binding process.
- glycosylases that have lyase activity and can be crosslinked to DNA via borohydrite are known in the art and include: endonuclease III; endonuclease VIII; and hmu-DNA glycosylase.
- Glycosylases that do not have lyase activity (e.g., Ap glycosylases: uracil glycosylase; thymine mismatch glycosylase; 3-ma-DNA glycosylase I or II; pd-DNA glycosylase; m-luteus uv glycosylase; etc) but only contain the base excision activity may also be adapted to function in the present invention. This is done by the subsequent use of endonuclease III glycosylase, following the initial base excision by the ap glycosylase. Enconuclease III recognizes the abasic site generated by the AP glycosylase and exersizes it lyase activity at that point.
- Ap glycosylases uracil glycosylase; thymine mismatch glycosylase; 3-ma-DNA glycosylase I or II; pd-DNA glycosylase; m-luteus uv glycosylase; etc

- a detectable group such as antibodies (e.g. avidin, antifluorescein etc.) and their subsequent detection (e.g. by chemiluminescence) and isolation (e.g. immunoprecipitation, avidin-coated microplates or microspheres, are well known in the art.
- substituted refers to single or multiple substitutions of a molecule with a moiety or moieties distinct from the core molecule.
- Substituents include, without limitation, halogens, hetero atoms, (i.e. 0, S and N), nitro moieties, alkyl (preferably Ci - C ⁇ ), amine moieties, nitrile moieties, hydroxy moieties, alkoxy moieties, phenoxy moieties, other aliphatic or aromatic moieties.
- the aliphatic or aromatic moieties are lower aliphatic or aromatic moieties, i.e. 12 or less carbons, more preferably 6 or less carbon atoms.
- Substituted compounds may be referred to as derivatives of the core structure.
- Antibodies of the present invention can be detected by appropriate assays, such as the direct binding assay and by other conventional types of immunoassays.
- a sandwich assay can be performed in which the receptor or fragment thereof is affixed to a solid phase. Incubation is maintained for a sufficient period of time to allow the antibody in the sample to bind to the immobilized labeled DNA on the solid phase. After this first incubation, the solid phase is separated from the sample. The solid phase is washed to remove unbound materials and interfering substances such as non-specific proteins which may also be present in the sample.
- the solid phase containing the antibody of interest bound to the immobilized labeled DNA of the present invention is subsequently incubated with labeled antibody or antibody bound to a coupling agent such as biotin or avidin.
- Labels for antibodies are well-known in the art and include radionucleotides, enzymes (e.g. maleate dehydrogenase, horseradish peroxidase, glucose oxidase, catalase), fluorophores (fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, phycocyanin, fluorescamine), biotin, and the like.
- the labeled antibodies are incubated with the solid and the label bound to the solid phase is measured, the amount of the label detected serving as a measure of, for example, the amount of anti- FARP antibody present in the sample.
- the present method allows for extremely sensitive mismatch - scanning in diverse DNA fragments, thereby resulting in sensitive and high throughput mutation screening over several hundreds or thousands of genes at once. For example, it becomes possible for the screening and discovery of novel mutations in tumor samples which is instrumental to establish the pathogenesis of cancer and to establish new relations between mutations and cancer or other diseases.
- the new compounds and methods described above are also useful in analysis of the genetic background (polymorphisms, mutations) of any individual. High throughput genotyping and genotypic selection can be carried out by the present method.
- DNA to be screened e.g. cDNA from an individual's lymphocytes
- DNA to be screened is digested to smaller fragments (50-300 base pairs) as detailed herein.
- the digested fragments are self-hybridized to generate mismatches at positions of SNPs and mutations.
- Self hybridization can be carried out by heating (e.g., 2 minutes, 96°C), then cooling to 65°C for 1 hour.
- heating e.g., 2 minutes, 96°C
- 65°C for 1 hour.
- formamide plus moderate heating 40-70°C
- treatment with hydroxylamine follows, to remove unwanted abasic sites.
- treatment with mismatch repair glycosylases (Mut Y and TDG, separately or together) follows to convert mismatches to aldehydes.
- treatment with AED, FARP, BARP follows to label, e.g., fluoresceinate the generated aldehydes (corresponding to SNPs/ mutations).
- the sample is denatured, and directly applied to a DNA array, for example, DNA chips or beads where hybridization takes place. 7. Extensive washing follows, to remove unhybridized DNA or unbound
- the label, e.g., fluorescence, from all elements on the DNA chip is read via appropriate devices (e.g. a scanning laser). These elements that display fluorescence correspond to gene fragments containing SNPs and mutations.
- DNA arrays to identify the gene where the mismatch is present.
- the Affyrnetrix, Inc. (San Diego, CA) HU6800 DNA chip, the Clontech AtlasTM DNA array (Palo Alto, CA); the Telechem International Array (San Jose, CA); the Genetix Ltd. array (Dorset, UK); and the BioRobotics Ltd. array (Cambridge, UK).
- the chip such as the Affyrnetrix DNA chip contains densely-packed DNA or RNA elements.
- the oligomers on the chip should be small. Preferably 8-50 nucleotides, more preferably 8-25 nucleotides. This will provide the highest resolution.
- the DNA or mRNA on the chips can be as large as the mismatch-containing DNA fragments, e.g. 50-300 nucleotides.
- the array will have multiple DNA or RNA elements densely packed, each comprising 25-mer oligonucleotides immobilized on a solid support.
- each of the 6,800 genes which are represented on the chip there are 20 elements each containing 25-mer oligonucleotides with a distinct portion of the mRNA sequence. Thereby the 20 elements 'sample' the mRNA sequence of the gene.
- the immobilized probes are biased towards the 3' end of the mRNA, thus sequences towards the 5' end are not well represented.
- cDNA can directly be applied on the chip without in- vitro transcription.
- a gene is present in the test sample, then it hybridizes to an appropriate array element. Because the array is constructed to contain known gene sequences at known positions, all the transcribed genes are detected in a single step. The detection process utilizes addition of a marker-identifier such as a fluorescent scanner. The magnitude of the signal from each element signifies the degree of gene expression for the specific gene.
- the present invention utilizes the same arrays but not anymore to detect gene expression (i.e. difference in signal among array elements), but mutations, which requires only detection of presence or absence of signal (indicating polymorphism /mutation in the specific gene fragment which was captured), thereby making the detection task much simpler.
- SNPs Inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms
- mutations can define a genetic predisposition towards several diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular, neurodegenerative and others. Indeed, acquired SNPs, mutations and loss of heterozygocity are particularly pertinent to cancer development, and early cancer detection. All of the above can be simultaneously detected in a single step by the above-described methodology.
- cDNA for tumor and normal issue of a single individual is prepared. (See Figure 11) Because inherited polymorphisms is a frequent event (average 1 SNP per 1000 bases), several genes will have more than one SNP. Also, the tumor genes will contain one or more inherited SNPs as well as occasional acquired SNPs /mutations.
- the cDNA is digested by enzymes down to small fragments (-100-200 bp), thereby generating fragments that are likely to contain only one -or none- genetic alternations. Then, each sample is melted and self- hybridized, to generate mismatches at positions of SNPs/mutations.
- the above- described methodology using an X-Z-Y compound is applied as described above, to isolate only the mismatch-containing cDNA.
- the mismatch-containing cDNA is PCR-amplified, labeled, e.g. biotinylated, and applied on a an array such as the fymetrix chip:
- Each mismatch-containing fragment will hybridize to its complementary oligonucleotide on the array, thereby revealing which gene and which gene region (to within 100-200 base pairs) the SNP/mutation belongs to.
- arrays A and B both the inherited and the acquired SNPs/mutations can be derived. Loss of heterozygocity may occur when an acquired SNP/mutation occurs in the same gene with an inherited SNP/mutation.
- Such genes can readily be identified by comparing A and B.
- a preferred Mutation Scanning Array should contain immobilized oligonucleotides, preferably 8-25 bases long, which span the whole mRNA sequence of each gene represented on the array, and not biased toward one or the other mRNA end. Rather they should cover the whole genes being studied. In some preferred instances, one uses genomic DNA to make the array and would use both coding, and non-coding portions. As mentioned, the oligonucleotides can be larger, but by increasing size, resolution is lost. The oligonucleotides should sample the mRNA in intervals not bigger than the DNA fragments isolated by present method preferably 50-100 bases but capable of ranging from 50 - 300 bases. In this manner the mismatch- containing fragment will be assured of finding a complementary sequence on the array.
- immobilized oligonucleotides on the array are arranged to sample the mRNA at small intervals (e.g. 20 bases) there will be redundancy of information upon hybridization of the mutant fragments to the DNA chip, as each fragment may simultaneously hybridize to two or more immobilized oligonucleotides. In this case, by using the combined information from all array elements, a better resolution of the position of the mutation will be achieved.
- This Mutation Scanning Array can be constructed using the same technologies as for the current arrays. The above-described modification will allow SNPs/mutation detection over the whole length of the immobilized genes to be identified.
- the immobilized genes can be either the whole genomic cDNA library, or an arbitrary fraction of that, or a specific collection of genes that are known to be related to a specific disease (i.e. disease specific arrays).
- a major advantage of the present mutation scanning chip technology is that it can detect SNPs/mutations in the presence of an excess of normal alleles in the initial sample because the methodology first isolates the mutants, and the array subsequently identified the gene. This is currently impossible to do with existing technology.
- a preferred kit will comprise reagents to isolate mRNA from tissues, synthesize cDNA, fragment DNA to 100 - 200-mers and add PCR, form heteroduplexes, use Mut Y and TDG enzymes to cut the mismatches, remove spontaneous aldehydes, apply the X-Z-Y compounds e.g., FARP/ BARP/ AED, to detect mismatches, isolate mutant/polymorphic fragments by immobilization on microplates, recover and PCR mutants/polymorphisms, and finally apply on an array to detect SNPs/mutations at specific genomic positions.
- the kit can be used to screen an individual for inherited susceptibility to cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, etc. by mapping positions of heterozygocities and SNPs in the whole genome or in selected fractions of the genes.
- the present methodology also permits one to detect early onset of cancer (acquired SNPs/mutations) from tissue biopsies or excretions.
- the present technology also permits research labs to detect new mutations and correlate them to other diseases.
- the ligand compounds described demonstrated excellent detection of DNA mismatch - repair recognition sites.
- small (MW ⁇ 200-250) compound allow high binding efficiency (>50%) to DNA reactive sites
- new compounds like AED were designed, synthesized and tested. These were shown to bind reactive sites generated by Mut Y much more efficient than compounds of higher (>250) molecular weight.
- Preferred compounds are small, water soluble, do not encounter significant steric interactions with DNA and can diffuse fast to the enzymatically - generated reactive sites on DNA. This class of new bifunctional compounds is also uniquely designed to retain their water solubility as the chain length is extended.
- polar functional groups include; alcohols, esters, ethers, thioethers, amines and amides. This allows users of this method the flexibility to tailor the chain length of the compounds to suit their specific needs with out the loss of water solubility, which is essential.
- mRNA is isolated from a malignant cell.
- the corresponding mRNA from a healthy or normal tissue sample is also isolated.
- the mRNA from the normal tissue will serve as the wild-type control.
- a cDNA library can be made for each mRNA sample, the cancerous and wild-type.
- the two cDNA libraries are added together, for example in a 1: 1 ratio and hybridized. (See Figure 1)
- the hybridization produces a mixture of double stranded DNA.
- the double strands of DNA that consist of cDNA from the malignant cell hybridized with a strand of wild-type DNA will now typically contain some mismatches that are associated with the malignancy.
- the mixture of hybridized cDNA is then treated with hydroxylamine to remove any spontaneous aldehydes, and then the hydroxylamine is removed via G25 filter centrifugation of the samples.
- the double stranded cDNA which is now void of pre-existing aldehydes, is then treated with a mismatch - repair glycosylase, such as Mut Y or TDG.
- Mut Y is a DNA-repair enzyme that recognizes mismatched adenosine nucleotides, and TDG recognizes mismatched thymines. Upon recognition, Mut Y or TDG remove the base by cleavage at the point of attachment to the deoxyribose sugar.
- the resulting strands of cDNA now contain an aldehyde located at each point of mismatch.
- These resulting aldehydes are then treated with one of the compounds, e.g. the 2- (aminoacetylarnino) ethylenediamine (AED) or one of its analogues, at low temperature so that further activity of the Mut Y/TDG enzymes is suppressed.
- AED 2- (aminoacetylarnino) ethylenediamine
- the DNA labeled with AED is then selectively immobilized on microplates as described earlier in this text.
- the unlabeled DNA is then washed away leaving behind only AED labeled DNA attached to the microplate.
- the DNA with the labeled mutations, while immobilized on the microplates is then biotinylated and the mutations can be detected, for example, via chemiluminescence.
- Mutation-containing DNA can then be recovered from microplates for identification of the genes involved via PCR and large-scale hybridization techniques using the present mutation detecting arrays.
- This method can also be used to detect a variety of other DNA lesions that are converted to reactive sites by glycosylase enzymes or by chemical means (e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites); abasic sites; carcinogen-DNA adducts; damaged DNA bases).
- glycosylase enzymes e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites
- abasic sites e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites
- carcinogen-DNA adducts e.g. clustered DNA-damaged sites
- Such enzymes include all known glycosylases, such as endonuclease III, T4 endonuclease V, 3- methyladenine DNA glycosylase, 3- or 7- methylguanine DNA glycosylase, hydroxymethyluracile DNA glycosylase, FaPy-DNA glycosylase, M. Luteus UV-DNA glycosylase.
- chemical agents such as bleomycin, alkylation agents or simple acid hydrolysis can generate reactive sites automatically in target DNA without any enzyme. The crucial step however is again the same, i.e. covalent addition of compound to the reactive site of the DNA lesion, which allows subsequent sensitive detection.
- the described technology can be used for mutation screening and for research.
- the use of solid supports at every stage of the assay will substantially shorten the time required to screen tumor samples, improve its cost-effectiveness in terms of man-power as well as its reliability and reproducibility.
- An alternative mutation scanning array to the chip array is the use of beads, sometimes referred to as microbeads or microspheres.
- magnetic microsphere technology can be utilized to immobilize heteroduplexes at an early stage of the assay.
- cDNA for e.g. 588 genes can be generated.
- PCR primers that contain a cleavable (S-S) biotin are added.
- S-S cleavable
- Hybridization of the cancerous cDNA with wild-type alleles generates heteroduplexes at the positions of base substitution mutations, and the DNA sample is immobilized on, for example, the streptavidin - coated magnetic microspheres (available from Dynal Inc.). From this point onwards, all subsequent steps of the ALBUMS assay can be conducted on the solid support.
- the microspheres allow chemical/ enzymatic treatment of the immobilized
- the assay uses hydroxylamine treatment to remove traces of aldehydes and subsequent complete removal of hydroxylamine via repeated (x3) ultracentrifugation through G25 filters.
- hydroxylamine treatment to remove traces of aldehydes and subsequent complete removal of hydroxylamine via repeated (x3) ultracentrifugation through G25 filters.
- This can be time-consuming and result in an inevitable loss of sample, which can be important when tissue samples are limited.
- all subsequent steps become faster, easier and without DNA loss: Hydroxylamine treatment and removal, enzymatic treatment and washing, X-Z-Y treatment and washing, binding antifluorescein-AP to e.g. AED-trapped mismatches and washing, and finally chemiluminescent detection of mismatches are performed on the magnetic microsphere format.
- the immobilized DNA can be recovered by cleaving the disulfide (S-S) bond on the biotin by mild exposure to a reducing reagent (DTT, 50 mM, -10 min, 25° C).
- DTT disulfide
- oligonucleotides containing a terminal aliphatic amine are ordered, and reacted with e.g. a biotin -S-S- succinimidyl ester (available from Pierce). Reactions of succinimidyl ester with amino-oligonucleotides and subsequent purification by reverse C18 column chromatography are standard procedures on which our group has had prior experience.
- the samples will be applied on e.g. antifluorescein-microplates to isolate e.g., FARP- containing heteroduplexes which subsequently will be recovered, PCR amplified and screened on the Clontech DNA hybridization array.
- base substitution mutations can be isolated via ALBUMS, amplified by PCR and screened on the DNA array in less than 24 hours.
- microbeads can be separated (sorted) from the rest of the microbead population.
- Common flow cytometers can collect individual light signals and sort 10,000-30,000 microbeads per second. As a result, 10 8 microbeads can be sorted in less than one hour.
- Specialized flow cytometers can count individual microbeads at much higher rates. Multiparametric flow cytometry allows each individual microbead to be excited by several lasers at once, and illumination by each laser produces optical emissions at several discrete wavelengths and intensities, depending also on the type and amount of fluorescently-labeled biomolecules bound to the microbeads.
- a microbead tagged with a specific gene is also tagged with a combination of fluorescent probes it can be used in flow cytometry.
- the fluorescent probes with which the beads are tagged can have a variety of different fluorescent intensities. Consequently, for each bead there is a unique combination of intensities/ flu orescent probes such that, passage of an individual bead through the flow cytometer uniquely identifies the immobilized gene. Further, if the gene immobilized on the bead has hybridized to a 'target DNA', the hybridization produces a unique fluorescent signal which may also be detected by the flow cytometer as the bead passes through. Therefore hybridization in hundreds or thousands of diverse genes can be rapidly detected, quantified and analyzed by this procedure.
- Microbeads for flow cytometry are commercially available by several manufacturers (e.g. Polysciences; Molecular Probes).
- a typical microbead consists of an approximately spherical polystyrene 'core' with a diameter of 0.1-20 ⁇ m.
- the microbead can be tagged with indicator molecules such as fluorescent probes of appropriate wavelength, which are either directly bound to the microbead surface, or bound to a nucleic acid that coats the microbead surface, or fill the 'interior volume' of the microbead.
- indicator molecules such as fluorescent probes of appropriate wavelength
- the microbead passes through the laser beam in a flow cytometer, an intense fluorescent signal is emitted, which is filtered and counted with a photomultiplier.
- microbeads can be sorted into separate containers after passage through the cytometer laser beam.
- Microbeads can readily be tagged with specific DNA fragments.
- a standard method to achieve this is to manufacture microbeads with 'functionalized surfaces', e.g. coated with carboxyl- or amino-groups, or with avidin, etc. Such microbeads are widely available. Binding of a nucleic acid on the functionalized surface is achieved via end-labeling the nucleic acid, which is then attached to the microbead surface. For example, if a primary amine is attached to the nucleic acid, then a carbodiimide-mediated reaction can attach the nucleic acid to the carboxyl-coated microbead.
- hybridization should preferably be under conditions of at least moderate stringency, more preferably high stringency. These conditions can be obtained by varying salts, temperature, etc. and are well known in the art.
- the unhybridized DNA can then be removed from the solution, e.g. via centrifugation, if desired. (This is not an absolute requirement since flow cytometry will only count fluorescnce bound to the microbeads and not in solution).
- Such hybridization of DNA in microbead-format is well known to those experienced in the art, (e.g. to isolate mRNA, poly-dT-coated microbeads are used).
- the target DNA can be pre-labeled with a fluorescent probe. Accordingly, fluorescent signals from microbeads with control DNA hybridized to target DNA can be readily detected via flow cytometry.
- beads can also be labeled with a 'cocktail' of fluorescent probes, each fluorescent probe having a specific emission intensity (Such probes are often used for calibration purposes).
- Multiparametric flow cytometry which is a common application, can simultaneously acquire signals from all fluorescent probes bound to the beads and measure their intensity.
- a flow cytometer can monitor simultaneously 6 fluorescent emission wavelengths (e.g. by using 3 excitation lasers with two different filters each).
- the bead can be labeled with, for example, fluorescent probes 1-5 chosen so that they have either distinct excitation or distinct emission wavelengths, with minimal overlap regions.
- Different amounts of each fluorescent probe can be incorporated on the bead, so that at least 20 distinct fluorescent intensities can result per probe (see, for example Figure 14, where beads labeled with 5 different fluorescent intensities of fluorescein are depicted.
- each bead Upon passage through a multiparametric flow cytometer, each bead would yield (a) its optical signature by monitoring the intensity of emissions from probes 1-5, and thereby the identity of the control gene bound to the bead; and (b) the intensity of emission from probe 6 which would determine if, and to what extent the target DNA has hybridized to the control gene.
- the flow cytometer used preferably has the ability to detect 'rare events'.
- Each B.U.S. will only rarely emit its unique optical signal since other beads will be counted most of the time. If 10,000 distinct B.U.S. are included in an aliquot, representing 1,000 human genes, the flow cytometer must be able to detect and discriminate 1 in 104 beads, without 'noise'. This is well within the capabilities of common flow cytometers, which can typically discriminate 1 in 105 events.
- enhanced software and computer storage space may be needed to record each event separately and store it in an appropriate *bar histogram' (each bar representing a unique gene).
- *bar histogram' each bar representing a unique gene.
- control genes and beads can be included in the flow-cytometric determination, in order to ensure that the method performs optimally.
- the above method can be adapted for the detection of SNPs and mutations.
- an intermediate step is used to isolate and purify only those DNA fragments that contain SNPs or mutations. This process can be carried out with the compounds and methodologies detailed herein.
- the target DNA is hybridized to control DNA - containing B.U.S.-aliquots and processed via flow cytometry.
- the optical signature of those beads that present positive signals from probe 6 define the genes that contain SNPs and mutations in the population.
- the control DNA which is attached to the beads has to be relatively short (e.g. in the region 10-100 base pairs) so that, following capture of a corresponding fragment that contains an SNP/mutation, the genomic region containing the genetic alteration is automatically defined with a good resolution (-100 base pairs).
- the genomic region containing the genetic alteration is automatically defined with a good resolution (-100 base pairs).
- enough regions of the gene have to be immobilized (each region on a separate B.U.S.), so that the whole gene (from 3' to 5' -end) is adequately represented at regular intervals. In this manner, every target DNA fragment which is isolated and contains a genetic alteration will be assured of finding a complementary sequence to hybridize in the B.U.S. -aliquot.
- B.U.S. can be constructed with optimized properties and sold in a kit, for example, en masse manufacture by a commercial supplier.
- the kit can have reagents to attach multiple fluorophores and specific DNA sequences on a bead coated with streptavidin for use with biotin-end-labeled oligonucleotides for attachment to streptavidin - binding sites, as well as cocktails of amine-reactive fluorescent probes (e.g. succinimidyl esters of fluorescent probes) for the simultaneous attachment to the free primary amines of streptavidin.
- amine-reactive fluorescent probes e.g. succinimidyl esters of fluorescent probes
- carboxylic acid-coated beads both the fluorescent compounds and amine-end- labeled nucleic acids can be attached.
- control DNA from each specific gene can be attached to the functionalized surface of a microbead as described above.
- oligonucleotides of a specific sequence can be attached on the microbead, or grown directly on the microbead using phosphoramidite chemistry which is established in the field of DNA synthesis.
- the size of this 'control cDNA' on the microbead surface can be of any length, but preferably such that it ensures maximum hybridization with a corresponding 'target cDNA' that has a complementary sequence. Large amounts of the same microbead carrying a single DNA sequence can then be manufactured. Next, a second microbead is selected and the process repeated for a second gene/fragment of interest.
- a collection of individuals with a specific pathology can be screened for a common genetic trait (e.g. common set of uknown mutations/polymorphisms in an unknown set of genes) because the present invention allows the isolation and identification of only those genes that appear in common in the patient population. For example, for a set of 5 patients having early- age lung cancer, and for whom an inherited set of unknown mutated genes can be hypothesized.
- a common genetic trait e.g. common set of uknown mutations/polymorphisms in an unknown set of genes
- DNA from a tissue sample (e.g. lymphoblasts) from each patient is extracted.
- the DNA is then enzymatically digested into small fragments (e.g.50-200 base pairs).
- those fragments that contain polymorphisms (mutations) that appear as heterozygosities among the two alleles are selected and isolated from the population of non-mutated DNA fragments.
- One preferred procedure to accomplish this task is the one described above using aldehyde-linker based methods, and will not be further addressed here.
- Another less preferred possibility is to utilize any other described technology that can 'capture' and isolate the heterozygous sequences, while discarding the non-mutant sequences.
- a combination of the above technologies is also possible.
- the 'target' DNA selected from each affected individual for polymorphism screening may be only from one gene; or preferably from several genes or from the whole cDNA library, or from the whole genome.
- the fragments are PCR-amplified using primers which are labeled with a fluorescent probe, or combination of probes.
- each of the 5 individual's mutant DNA is labeled with a different fluorescent probe from that of another member of the group, or combination of their probes, appropriate for flow cytometry (7-hydroxycoumarin; fluorescein; rhodamine; Texas Red; Bodipy; etc).
- the fluorescently-labeled DNA from the 5 individuals is then mixed together and hybridized with microbeads engineered as described above.
- each subset of microbeads carries a specific gene (or gene fragment) as a 'control' DNA.
- a specific gene or gene fragment
- Each such microbead will allow target DNA from all 5 individuals to bind to it, if the corresponding gene fragment is mutated in all 5 individuals simultaneously.
- This microbead will emit all 5 fluorescent wavelengths when screened via flow cytometry, and therefore can be sorted and separated from microbeads with 4, 3, 2, 1 or none fluorescent emissions. If instead of one, several subsets of microbeads representing numerous genes are utilized, the procedure remains unchanged. The flow cytometer will sort in the same container all microbeads (i.e.
- all genes irrespective of their identity
- that present fluorescent signals from a set percentage e.g., all 5 fluorescent probes (i.e. genes from all 5 individuals).
- genes of interest i.e. the mutated genes that are likely to be the cause of the common disease in the patient population.
- the sorted microbeads are used in a PCR reaction to amplify the DNA fragments immobilized on them.
- each fragment is flanked by the same, known PCR primers (see DFCI patent previously submitted).
- the amplified fragments can be identified by a single application on a DNA microarray such as those that are currently commercially available, or preferably those described above.
- the present procedure allows the isolation and identification of those mutated/polymorphic genes that appear in common in the affected patient population, and therefore have an increased probability to be related (or to be the cause) of the specific disease.
- the mutated/ polymorphic genes in any single individual are likely to be many (e.g. 100,000 polymorphisms across the whole cDNA)
- the common genes are likely to be much fewer in number, since they must appear in common in all 5 individuals. The more individuals are simultaneously screened with the present method, the fewer the 'common' mutated genes are going to be, therefore the faster the 'disease genes' will be identified.
- the flow-cytometric method again can be applied as follows: First, DNA from 5 individuals is fluorescently labeled and screened as described above. The sorted microbeads corresponding to genes mutated in all 5 individuals is then briefly treated to remove the fluorescence (e.g. via heating for 2 min, 96°C, to remove the fluorescent strand; or via an enzyme that removes the DNA segment containing the fluorescent probe; etc). These microspheres are then again processed via the same procedure, to screen 5 more individuals: they are mixed with the labeled DNA from these individuals, to hybridize to mutated genes; then they are sorted via flow cytometry to select those microbeads that emit all 5 fluorescent signals.
- fluorescence e.g. via heating for 2 min, 96°C, to remove the fluorescent strand; or via an enzyme that removes the DNA segment containing the fluorescent probe; etc.
- microbeads that have captured mutant genes both in the first and in the second set of 5 individuals, and they now represent genes that are mutated in all 10 (5+5) individuals. By repeating the procedure more individuals can be screened. Ultimately the number of sorted microbeads will decrease significantly, and should correspond to the few 'disease - specific genes' that are sought.
- a significant feature of the present invention is that, apart from identifying genes that are mutated in all individuals, it also allows for mutated genes that appear in most but not all individuals to be identified. For example, flow-cytometric sorting of the microspheres can be adjusted so that if 2 out of signals, more preferably, 3 out of 5 signals are present in a single microsphere this is also selected in a separate container. One can readily select a particular cut-off percent. Similarly, if the mutated gene is present in 4 out of 5 individuals it will also be sorted, etc.
- genes mutated in 100% of the patients but also genes mutated in preferably 50%, or more preferably 60%, etc, will also be identified. Still more preferably the mutation is present in 80% of the members. Higher per centages will be seen when the group is composed of related individuals.
- a practical advantage of utilizing flow cytometry and microbeads for the present approach is that, because the DNA is not immobilized on 'inflexible' DNA chips but on individual microbeads, the user has full control over which genes and controls will be included in his study, thereby the method can be adjusted to the needs of a particular application, on an experiment-by-experiment basis.
- a similar flow-cytometric analysis can be applied. Briefly, the cDNA generated from each individual is enzymatically fragmented, denatured and ligated with PCR primers tagged with a unique fluorescent probe, or combination of probes. The labeled, single stranded cDNA molecules from several individuals are then mixed together and incubated with microbeads designed and described above. The described flow-cytometric process is then applied to sort microspheres that present signals from all individuals simultaneously, signifying combined up-regulation of a specific gene in all individuals. Certain signal intensities can be selected as a 'threshold' above which a gene is considered as up-regulated (i.e. many copies bound to microbead) or down - regulated. Both commonly up-regulated and down-regulated genes in the population are bunched together and sorted in separate containers in this procedure. Therefore by following the protocol described above for deriving common mutations in the population, the genes that are up-regulated or down-regulated in common can also be identified.
- flow cytometry is a preferred and very convenient embodiment of this invention, it has limitations as to how many fluorescent signals can be simultaneously detected each time a microsphere is measured, and how many different fluorophores can be used.
- 5-7 signals can be simultaneously measured; therefore each flow-cytometric measurement can readily detect common genes in 5-7 individuals, and the procedure can be repeated to screen additional individuals. For screening a population of 50 patients, the procedure typically needs to be repeated 7-10 times.
- Specialized flow-cytometers that can screen more than 5-7 signals simultaneously also exist, and these can increase the efficiency of this procedure.
- the combined signals from microspheres can be detected with a different detection system, such as an ICCD camera, a microscope, or a photomultiplier that detects several wavelengths simultaneously.
- a different detection system such as an ICCD camera, a microscope, or a photomultiplier that detects several wavelengths simultaneously.
- kits for carrying out the identification of these DNA mismatches with these beads can be sold.
- the kits would include the repair glycosylase, an X-Z-Y compound and preferably instructions. These materials can be in any vial. The materials can be in lyophilized form.
- PCR primers would also be included.
- Kit Formulation
- streptavidin - coated microplates can be used.
- the following protocol can be used: 1. Mixing the target and the control DNA (e.g. In a 1: 1 ratio).
- the control DNA sequence is the wild type DNA corresponding to the target DNA sequence.
- DNA can be whole or fraction of genomic DNA; or PCR-amplified portions of genomic DNA; or a cDNA library corresponding to the coding portions of the DNA.
- DNA from one allele is taken as ' the target', while DNA from the second allele is the vild type'. 2.
- Digesting the mixture into small double stranded fragments e.g. 50-200 base pairs). Digestion can be done using one or more restriction endonucleases (e.g saui, ami, hpa-2, etc) at standard conditions (1 h, 37°C). Digestion with enzymes that generate overhangs ('sticky ends') is preferred.
- Ligation is done via ligase, under standard conditions, using the sticky ends of the DNA fragments, or via established 5' end -ligation methods.
- step 7 Pcr-amplifying the isolated DNA fragments, directly from beads, using the known primers ligated in step 4.
- the primers may be biotinylated if a chip DNA array is to be used in the last step.
- the resulting end-biotinylated DNA sample can be hybridized directly on a chip mutation scanning array.
- the recognizable moiety can then be used to reveal gene regions that contain SNPs/mutations (e.g. Biotin - labeled DNA can be followed by fluoresceinated streptavidin, etc.).
- EXAMPLE 1 METHOD FOR LARGE-SCALE DETECTION OF BASE-SUBSTITUTION MUTATIONS IN CANCEROUS SAMPLES, USING ONE OF THE X-Z-Y COMPOUNDS,
- Isolated mRNA from a cancerous tissue is transcribed into cDNA. Primers can be added to DNA at this stage for PCR amplification at a later stage (see Figure
- the sample is then hybridized with a corresponding wild-type sample of DNA to generate mismatch pairing at the positions of mutations.
- the hybridized DNA is treated with hydroxylamine to remove any aldehydes that may have formed spontaneously.
- the hybridized DNA sample is then treated with the Mut Y enzyme. Enzyme treatment recognizes A/G mismatches and upon recognition, depurinates the DNA and simultaneously generates an aldehyde at the site of mismatch.
- the DNA is then treated with the labeling compound AED or FARP or BARP to generate a covalent oxime bond at the position of the mismatch.
- the DNA is immobilized on microplates appropriate for the specific labeling compound and excess, unlabeled DNA is washed away.
- the DNA labeled at mismatch sites can now be analyzed by a variety of methods including detection of total mutations by chemiluminescence or identification of labeled genes via DNA arrays.
- GTG agarose was obtained from FMC Bioproducts, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis reagents were from National Diagnostics while SYBR GOLD nucleic acid gel stain and Picogreen ⁇ DNA quantitation dye was supplied by Molecular Probes.
- Reacti-Bind NeutrAvidin coated polystyrene plates pre-blocked with Bovine Serum Albumin
- Anti- fluorescein-Fab fragments (Sheep) - alkaline phosphatase conjugate (antiF-AP) was purchased from Boehringer Mannheim.
- CDP-Star a 1, 2 dioxetane chemiluminescent enzyme substrate and Emerald-II ⁇ enhancer used with CDP-star was purchased from TROPIX. Micro Bio-Spin G25 chromatography columns were obtained from Bio-Rad laboratories. Label IT ⁇ Nucleic Acid biotinylation kit was purchased from PanVera Inc. All reagents and buffers were of analytical grade and made with ultrapure water (1800 Mohm m 1 resistivity) delivered by an Alpha-Q system (Millipore).
- a neutralization solution 10% of 3M sodium acetate and IM potassium phosphate buffer at pH 7 and 7.5 respectively
- the DNA Prior to incubation at 37°C, the DNA was treated with 5mM hydroxylamine for 1 hour at room temperature to remove traces of existing aldehydes from the pool of potential FARP-binding sites. The hydroxylamine was then removed via G25 ultracentrifugation and the sample was resuspended in sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.
- FARP-labeled DNA was either used on the same day or stored at 4°C or -20°C for a few days, prior to further experiments.
- microplate strips were then transferred in to 50 ml polypropylene tubes and washed four times in 30ml - 50 ml of TE buffer with constant agitation for 10 minutes.
- the chemiluminescent substrates(CDP-Star plus Emerald II enhancer) were then added in 0.1 M diethanolamine, pH 8.5 and the anti-F-AP-catalyzed reaction was carried out at room temperature for 1 hour, after which maximum light generation was achieved.
- to quantitate the fraction of biotinylated DNA captured on microplates Picogreen ⁇ dye was used to measure double stranded DNA just prior and after its removal from neutravidin-coated plates.
- the low light from the chemiluminescence reaction was detected using an intensified charged coupled device (ICCD) system (Princeton Instruments).
- ICCD intensified charged coupled device
- MCP proximity focused microchannel plate
- the entire area of the ICCD is capable of light detection, giving a total of 576 x 384 pixels on a Pentium ® PC computer screen.
- Both the intensifier and CCD are cooled to -35°C thermoelectrically and the dark current is less than 50 counts per minute.
- the ICCD was used to detect total light generation from each cell of the microplate strip. Cells were individually placed in a reproducible geometry at ⁇ 2mm distance from the ICCD and the total light output per second measured.
- the background chemiluminescence (signal measured when FARP was omitted from the procedure) was subtracted from all samples. All measurements were repeated at least three times.
- the mixture was first heated to 95°C for 2 minutes, then allowed to hybridize at 65° C for 3 hours and cooled slowly to room temperature. Following hybridization, the double stranded 49-mers were treated with hydroxylamine (5mM in citrate pH 7.0, for 30 minutes, 25°C) to remove traces of spontaneously or heat— generated aldehydes from the pool of FARP-reactive sites.
- hydroxylamine 5mM in citrate pH 7.0, for 30 minutes, 25°C
- Figure 2 shows chemiluminescence obtained with the present setup when serial dilutions of free alkaline phosphatase were added to CDP-Star® substrate and Emerald II enhancer and measured using the cooled ICCD.
- the chemiluminescence detection limit of this set up is less than 0.01 attomoles alkaline phosphatase.
- Examination of the buildup of alkaline phosphatase chemiluminescent signal in solution following mixing with substrate plus enhancer at room temperature demonstrates that after 60 minutes a relatively constant value is achieved (Figure 2, inset). Therefore all measurements reported were conducted 60 - 80 minutes following addition of the substrate.
- biotinylated DNA was quantitated using the fluorescence of Picogreen TM dye prior to its application and immediately following removal of unbound DNA from microplates (not shown).
- 49-mer oligonucleotides resulted in approximately 10% capturing on the plates while of the 50-100 ng high molecular weight calf thymus DNA less than 2% was immobilized on the plates, possibly due to secondary structures and associated steric hindrances.
- the fluorescence-based approach is less sensitive than the present method, however, it allows direct quantitation of the number of FARP molecules per DNA base pair. Five minutes depurination under the same protocol yields approximately 1 AP site per 34,000 bases (Makrigiorgos GM, Chakrabarti S and Mahmood S. Int J Radiat Biol, 74: 99-109, 1998).
- the 15 second exposure in Figure 3 corresponds to approximately 1 AP site per 7 x 10 5 bases.
- the amount of microplate-captured DNA generating this signal is approximately 1-2 ng. Therefore the absolute number of AP sites recorded following 15 seconds depurination is approximately 5 attomole (see right axis in Figure 3).
- hydroxylamine treatment of genomic calf thymus DNA was first employed in order to remove traces of spontaneously-generated AP sites (e.g. AP sites expected to be present in genomic DNA from mammalian cells prior to DNA extraction plus AP sites generated during handling).
- Hydroxylamine is a small molecule and is expected to react rapidly with aldehydes, as previously demonstrated for methoxyamine (Talpaert-Borle M, and Liuzzi M. Biochimica Biophysica Acta, 740: 410-416, 1983), thereby prohibiting subsequently added FARP to react at the same positions.
- Figure 4A depicts the decrease in the chemiluminescence signal obtained following hydroxylamine treatment of genomic calf thymus DNA depurinated for 15 seconds. Following hydroxylamine removal and reaction with FARP, the chemiluminescence was reduced to almost background levels.
- Mut Y treatment of the 7249 base-long M 13 single stranded DNA resulted in the generation of approximately 6 fragments, the largest of which is about 1000 bases long, as demonstrated in lane 5, Figure 4C.
- Generation of Mut Y-recognized sites in the single stranded high molecular weight DNA is attributed to sequence self-complementation generating transient mismatches. It can be inferred that, to generate 6 discrete fragments, and assuming a less than 100% efficiency of Mut Y in cutting each site, an average of 3 Mut Y-recognized cutting sites are generated per each 7249 base-long M 13 molecule.
- 1 and 2 are complementary and form a homoduplex.
- 1 and 3 form a heteroduplex with an A/G mismatch at position 20.
- a biotin molecule (B) was incorporated at 5' end during synthesis.
- Figure 8A shows that only when mismatches are present (single stranded Ml 3) and Mut Y is used is there a chemiluminescence signal.
- gel electrophoresis shows cuts in M13 are only generated under the same conditions. It can be seen that there is good agreement among the two methods. As described, the method is highly specific for mismatch - containing DNA, i.e. DNA without mismatches, or DNA with mismatches but no Mut Y generate no signals.
- the samples can be either heated 2 min at 96°C or treated 1 min with NaOH to denature the DNA and recover the non-covalently modified strand, which is then used for amplification via PCR.
- the following section detail the procedure.
- a 7,091 bp long plasmid that incorporates the full-length human cDNA p53 sequence (1,691 bp) was engineered to contain base subsitutions, via site-specific mutagenesis.
- the present technology was used to detect a known A-to-C base substitution mutation engineered in codon 378 within the plasmid-incorporated p53.
- Circular plamids (1 ⁇ g) containing mutant p53 genes were treated with a 5'- CG/CG-3' cutting enzyme (BstU I, Sigma, 1 unit, 1 h, 37°C) to generate linear fragments (-400 to 2,500 bp), followed by a 10 minute, 70°C treatment to inactivate the enzyme.
- the mutant-containing sample (1 ⁇ g) was mixed (1: 1) with a similarly treated normal p53-containing sample, heated (96°C, 2 minutes) and hybridized overnight, at 65°C to generate A/G (25 %), and T/C (25 %) mismatches at p53 codon 378, as well as homoduplex p53 and plasmid fragments.
- the present technology allows a sensitive and specific detection of 1 base substitution mutation within a 7,091 bp-long, p53- containing plasmid with a virtual absence of false positives (defined as signal when no mismatch is present, Figure 9A).
- Unequivocal detection of a single base substitution within a 7,091 -long plasmid cannot easily be conducted with any of the existing methodologies (Nollau P and Wagener C. Clinical Chemistry 43: 1114- 1128, 1997).
- ALBUMS on the other hand can detect the mutation on a microplate with minimal sample ( ⁇ 100 ng) and effort involved.
- Lane 2 in Figure 10A demonstrates the generated fragments.
- the following ligand compounds were also included: 5 mM methoxyamine, 5 mM AED, 10 mM AED or 5 mM BARP respectively.
- methoxyamine prevents formation of any fragments, indicating a 100% binding to all reactive sites formed.
- AED bands D and E
- BARP can only prevent to a very small degree the formation of bands, indicating a very low ( ⁇ 5%) binding affinity to the reactive sites.
- TDG recognizes mismatched thymine and generates an aldehyde at that position following excision of thymine.
- Oligonucleotides with a G/T mismatch were synthesized (lanes 1, 2, oligos alone) and exposed to TDG in the absence (lanes 3) or in the presence of 5 mM methoxyamine (lane 4), 5 mM BARP (lane 5), 5 mM AED (lane 6) or 0.5 mM FARP (lane 7).
- AED is almost as efficient as methoxyamine (100%) in binding the Mut Y - generated reactive sites.
- Methodoxyamine itself however cannot be used in the present application because, unlike AED, following binding it allows no further derivatization as it has no secondary binding site available for antibody binding
- BARP only shows little ( ⁇ 5%) binding; despite that, and because the present method is extremely sensitive, high chemiluminescence signals are still generated with BARP when mismatches are present, as shown in the previous example. The same is valid for FARP.
- a DNA sample containing mismatches is dissolved in a buffered solution and treated with a repair glycosylase, either Mut Y or TDG (1 unit enzyme per ⁇ g DNA). The reaction is incubated at 37 C for 1 hour. Upon completion of the reaction with
- the enzyme can be solubilized and removed via a standard phenol- chloroform extraction, or via addition of Proteinase K (0.1 mg/ml, 2h, 37oC).
- SNPs Inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms
- FIG. 12 An example of using the high resolution Affyrnetrix array (described earlier) to detect genetic alterations in parallel normal and cancer samples is displayed in Figure 12.
- cDNA from normal tissue is melted and self-hybridized to generate mismatches ( Figure 12), then digested with appropriate enzymes to generate 100- 200-mers and add primers; then the present technology, (ALBUMS), utilizing one of the probes (FARP, AED or BARP) selects the mismatches, PCR amplifies them and these are applied on the Affyrnetrix array:
- the mutation-containing 200-mers isolated via ALBUMS will cause certain 25-mer array elements to display positive, thereby identifying both the gene and the approximate ( ⁇ 100-200 bp) location of an inherited polymorphism among the two alleles.
- cDNA from the cancer sample is melted, self-hybridized and processed similarly. Acquired mutations will show up as positive array elements that are negative on the normal tissue array. Acquired mutations scored on the same gene as an inherited mutation provide candidate genes to be examined for loss of heterozygocity, using existing methodologies. Finally, cDNA from cancerous cells will be cross-hybridized to cDNA from normal cells and the procedure will be repeated (not illustrated in Figure 12). This will detect acquired mutations in those genes that express a single allele in their mRNA, which would not be detected by self-hybridization alone. The use of the Clontech array will provide similar information to the
- Affyrnetrix array would be used with fewer genes and with smaller 'resolution', since the array elements contain 500 bases-long cDNA and it is possible that certain elements will capture both inherited SNPs and acquired mutations, thereby providing unclear information. On the other hand these arrays are simpler to use and do not require the fluorescent laser scanner, hence they are currently more accessible to users.
- ALBUMS was utilized as described above to isolate mutation - containing DNA fragments out of a mixture of diverse DNA fragments.
- Vortex carboxylated microspheres from Molecular Probes
- 5,000,000 microspheres are dispensed into a 1.5 ml microcentrifuge tube.
- EDC l-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyaminopropyl) carbodiimide-HCl
- microspheres / 1.5x TMAC mixture at hybridization temperature (50 °C) 7. With the tubes still in the 96 °C heatblock, add 33 ⁇ l of microspheres
