Quantifying Global DNA Methylation via HPLC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Global DNA methylation (5-mdC) levels were quantified in the isolated DNA of 30 controls (22 females and 8 males) and 35 exposed individuals (30 females and 5 males) based on the proportional quantification of 5-mdC using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) as detailed elsewhere60 (link),61 (link). Briefly, DNA was hydrolyzed with nuclease P1 and alkaline phosphatase to yield 2′-deoxymononucleosides, which were isolated by HPLC and detected by ultraviolet (UV) light. A mixture of deoxyadenosine, deoxythymidine, deoxyguanosine, deoxycytidine, 5-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine and deoxyuridine (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a standard. The percentages of global genomic DNA methylation were calculated by the integration of the 5-mdC peak area (obtained from the HPLC analysis) relating to global cytidine (methylated or not). The average for each sample was calculated and duplicated samples, showing a difference in 5-mdC greater than 3% or with low HPLC resolution, were removed.

Quantifying Global DNA Methylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We measured global DNA methylation levels in leukocytes through relative quantification of 5-methyl 2′-deoxycytidine (5mdC) using liquid chromatography by HPLC as detailed elsewhere [23 (link)]. Briefly, DNA was hydrolyzed with nuclease P1 (Sigma-Aldrich) and alkaline phosphatase (Fermentas-Thermo Scientific) to yield 2′-deoxymononucleosides, which were separated by HPLC and detected by ultraviolet (UV) light. A mixture of deoxyadenosine, deoxythymidine, deoxyguanosine, deoxycytidine, 5-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine and deoxyuridine (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a standard. The percentages of global genomic DNA methylation were calculated by integration of the 5mdC peak area (obtained directly from the HPLC) relative to global cytidine (methylated or not).
A subset of 49 melanoma patients and 60 unaffected controls, and 95 breast cancer patients and 95 unaffected women were analyzed by HPLC in duplicate. The average for each sample was calculated. Duplicated samples showing a difference in 5mdC greater than 3 % or with low HPLC resolution were removed.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
