Problems solved by technology

Whether it is based on methyl-sensitive single-base extension technology (Ms-SNuPE) or methyl-specific PCR technology (MSP), harmful radioactive isotopes are used in detection to improve sensitivity, or enzyme digestion reactions and gene sequencing are used. , High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrophoresis analysis, these detection methods require cumbersome separation and purification procedures, increase the detection time, and use more electrophoretic analysis with limited sensitivity, which is not conducive to the detection of low methylation levels , limiting the application of Ms-SNuPE and MSP technologies in clinical cancer diagnosis
Real-time quantitative PCR technology that uses high-sensitivity fluorescent detection methods requires the use of double-labeled fluorescent probe DNA, which is expensive. Due to the limitation of length and specificity, fluorescent probes are not easy to design, and not every DNA sequence can be designed. suitable dual-labeled probes, thus limiting the broad application of this technique in clinical cancer diagnosis

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of detecting the methylation of DNA. With high sensitivity and fast processing, the method provided by the invention can detect DAN with lower concentration and can conveniently detect low-level methylation of DNA without steps of separation and purification. Compared with the clinical histological method which has high demand onto samples, the invention only needs a little mount of DNA to sensitively detect the methylation level of tumor suppressor gene, thereby having significance in clinical diagnoses of early cancers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting DNA methylation. Background technique [0002] The methylation of mammalian DNA only occurs on the C of CpG dinucleotides, and the promoters of gene regulatory regions are rich in CpG sequences, and the methylation level of these CpG sequences is closely related to gene expression. [0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the relationship between the methylation of tumor suppressor genes and cancer has been continuously and deeply studied. Studies have shown that the abnormal methylation of CpG islands in the promoter region of tumor suppressor genes leads to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes, which is an important mechanism of cancer, and the methylation level increases with the development of cancer. The high methylation level of some genes may be a marker for the formation of tumors and even cancer cells. How to understand the methylation statu...
