A new quasi-interpenetrating network formed by poly(N-acryloyl-tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and polyvinylpyrrolidone: separation matrix for double-stranded DNA and single-stranded DNA fragments by capillary electrophoresis with UV detection

The preparation of a new separation matrix, quasi-interpenetrating networks (quasi-IPNs) formed by poly(N-acryloyl-Tris) (poly(tris-A)) and PVP, and its application for dsDNA and ssDNA fragments separation by CE with UV detection, are presented. This new quasi-IPN exhibited high sieving performance, good dynamic coating ability, and low viscosity. Single-base resolutions of dsDNA fragments (Rs = 0.92 for 123/124 bp) and ssDNA fragments (Rs = 0.65 for 123/124 base, Rs = 0.48 for 309/310 base) were achieved by using the quasi-IPN of poly(tris-A)/PVP (2% + 2%) solution in a 31 cm effective length linear polyacrylamide (LPA)-coated column. Single-base separation of dsDNA fragments (Rs = 0.92 for 123/124 bp) was also obtained within 28 min in a 46.7 cm effective length bare column at higher 160 V/cm electric field strength by using the same quasi-IPN solution. The RSD of the migration time measured for each DNA fragments was less than 1.5% in the bare column for nine continuous runs. The effects of temperature and electric field strength on the DNA separation were also investigated.     

Identifying the orientation of DNA fragment in recombinant plasmid by capillary electrophoresis with a non-gel sieving solution.

It was demonstrated that a capillary electrophoresis (CE) method with a non-gel sieving solution has been developed to identify the orientation of DNA fragments in recombinant plasmids in molecular biology. The influences of the concentration of sieving polymer HEC, the applied electric field strength and sampling on CE separation were analyzed concerning the optimization of separation. YO-PRO-1 was used as a DNA intercalating reagent to facilitate fluorescence detection. Under the chosen conditions (buffer, 1 x TBE containing 1 microM YO-PRO-1 and 1.2% HEC; applied electric field strength, 200 V/cm; electrokinetic sampling: time, 5 s; voltage, -6 kV), three DNA markers (phi 174/HaeIII, pBR322/HaeIII and lambda DNA/HindIII) were tested for further evaluating the relationship between the DNA size and the mobility. The established CE method conjugated with the enzymatic approach was successfully applied to identifying the DNA orientation of recombinant plasmid in transgene operations of a newly cloned gene from Arabidopsis Thaliana.     

Simultaneous detection of 19 K‐ras mutations by free‐solution conjugate electrophoresis of ligase detection reaction products on glass microchips

We demonstrate here the power and flexibility of free‐solution conjugate electrophoresis (FSCE) as a method of separating DNA fragments by electrophoresis with no sieving polymer network. Previous work introduced the coupling of FSCE with ligase detection reaction (LDR) to detect point mutations, even at low abundance compared to the wild‐type DNA. Here, four large drag‐tags are used to achieve free‐solution electrophoretic separation of 19 LDR products ranging in size from 42 to 66 nt that correspond to mutations in the K‐ras oncogene. LDR‐FSCE enabled electrophoretic resolution of these 19 LDR‐FSCE products by CE in 13.5 min (E = 310 V/cm) and by microchip electrophoresis in 140 s (E = 350 V/cm). The power of FSCE is demonstrated in the unique characteristic of free‐solution separations where the separation resolution is constant no matter the electric field strength. By microchip electrophoresis, the electric field was increased to the maximum of the power supply (E = 700 V/cm), and the 19 LDR‐FSCE products were separated in less than 70 s with almost identical resolution to the separation at E = 350 V/cm. These results will aid the goal of screening K‐ras mutations on integrated “sample‐in/answer‐out” devices with amplification, LDR, and detection all on one platform.     

Evaluation of different nucleic acid stains for sensitive double-stranded DNA analysis with capillary electrophoretic separation

This paper outlines the first use of SYTOX Orange, SYTO 82 and SYTO 25 nucleic acid stains for on-column staining of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fragments separated by capillary electrophoresis (CE). Low-viscosity, replaceable poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) polymer solution was used as the sieving matrix on an uncoated fused-silica capillary. The effects of PVP concentration, electric field strength, and incorporated nucleic acid stain concentrations on separation efficiency were examined for a wide range of DNA fragment sizes. Our study was focused on using nucleic acid stains efficiently excitable at a wavelength of 532 nm. Among the five tested nucleic acid stains, SYTOX Orange stain was shown to have the best sensitivity for dsDNA detection by CE. About a 500-fold lower detection limit was obtained compared to commonly used ethidium bromide and propidium iodide. SYTOX Orange stain also provided a wide linear dynamic range for direct DNA quantitation with on-line CE detection. Use of SYTOX Orange stain can greatly improve the measurement of DNA fragments by CE, which will enable an expanded set of applications in genomics and diagnostics.     

The electric field dependence of DNA mobilities in agarose gels: a reinvestigation

The electric field dependence of the electrophoretic mobility of linear DNA fragments in agarose gels was reinvestigated in order to correct the observed mobilities for the different temperatures actually present in the gel during electrophoresis in different electric field gradients. When corrected to a common temperature, the electrophoretic mobilities of DNA fragments less than or equal to 1 kilobase pairs (kbp) in size were independent of electric field strength at all field strengths from 0.6 to 4.6 V/cm if the gels contained less than or equal to 1.4% agarose. The mobilities of larger DNA fragments increased approximately linearly with electric field strength. If the agarose concentration was higher than 2%, the mobilities of all DNA fragments increased with increasing electric field strength. The electric field dependence of the mobility was larger in gels cast and run in Tris-borate buffer (TBE) than in gels cast and run in Tris-acetate buffer (TAE), and was more pronounced in gels without ethidium bromide incorporated in the matrix. Ferguson plots were constructed for the various DNA fragments, both with and without extrapolating the temperature-corrected mobilities to zero electric field strength. Linear Ferguson plots were obtained for all fragments less than or equal to 12 kbp in size in agarose gels less than or equal to 1.4% in concentration if the mobilities were first extrapolated to zero electric field strength. Concave upward curvature of the Ferguson plots was observed for DNA fragments greater than or equal to 2 kbp in size at finite electric field strengths. Convex downward curvature of the Ferguson plots was observed for DNA fragments greater than or equal to 1 kbp in size in agarose gels greater than or equal to 2% in concentration. The mobilities of the various DNA fragments, extrapolated to zero agarose concentration and zero electric field strength, decreased with increasing DNA molecular weight; extrapolating to zero molecular weight gave an "intrinsic" DNA mobility of 2.7 x 10(-4) cm2/Vs at 20 degrees C. The pore sizes of LE agarose gels cast and run in TAE and TBE buffers were estimated from the mobility of the DNA fragments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Capillary electropherograms for restriction fragment length polymorphism of Helicobacter pylori

Rapid identification of Helicobacter pylori strains is of importance for diagnosis and then treatment of duodenal and gastric ulcers. We developed a CE approach for the analysis of RFLP of the PCR products of urease (UreAB) gene and flagellin A (FlaA) gene fragments. Prior to CE analysis, the 2.4-kbp UreAB and 1.5-kbp FlaA PCR products were digested with the restriction enzymes HaeIII and HhaI, respectively. The DNA fragments were then separated by CE in conjunction with laser-induced fluorescence detection using poly(ethylene oxide) in the presence of electroosmotic flow. The DNA fragments range in sizes 259-1831 bp and 12-827 bp for UreAB and FlaA restriction fragments, respectively. Of 27 samples, the CE approach provided five and ten different RFLP patterns of the HaeIII and HhaI digests. The RFLP of PCR products of the two genes allow great sensitivity of identification of H. pylori strains. When compared with slab gel electrophoresis, the present CE approach provides advantages of rapidity (within 6 min per run), simplicity, and automation. The preliminary results have shown great practicality of the CE approach for screening H. pylori strains.     

Detection of apolipoprotein E genotypes by capillary electrophoresis

The apolipoprotein E (apo-E) genotype of an individual is of significant relevance in the associated risk of developing cardiovascular disease and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Detection of the six common apo-E genotypes is based on the restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) arising from the abolition or creation of HhaI restriction sites within an amplified target DNA sequence of the apo-E gene. Genomic DNA was extracted from leukocytes, a 230 bp target sequence within the apo-E gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and digested with HhaI, and the restricted DNA fragments separated by capillary electrophoresis (CE). This was performed on the BioFocustrade mark 3000 automated CE system equipped with an experimental laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA), using capillaries (27 cm length, 75 mum i.d.) coated internally with polyaminoacryloylethoxyethanol. The analysis buffer (2xTris borate-EDTA, pH 8.3) was supplemented with a proprietary sieving polymer and 0.05 muM thiazole orange six. Samples were injected electrophoretically. Separations were carried out at 40 degrees C under constant voltage, and the emitted fluorescence detected at 515 nm. Restriction fragment lengths of the cleaved PCR products were estimated from the migration times, with a 20/100 bp ladder (Bio-Rad Laboratories 20/100 bp molecular ruler) serving as reference. Six different reproducible patterns were obtained for the six common apo-E genotypes, with good resolution of the component restriction fragments. The calculated sizes of the separated peaks closely corresponded with the predicted restricted fragment lengths for each specific genotype. We believe this is the first published report demonstrating the feasibility of automating the post-PCR detection of the apo-E RFLPs(2). This methodology overcomes the most labour-intensive step in apo-E genotyping, thus making it amenable to routine clinical application.     

Disposable polyester-toner electrophoresis microchips for DNA analysis

Microchip electrophoresis has become a powerful tool for DNA separation, offering all of the advantages typically associated with miniaturized techniques: high speed, high resolution, ease of automation, and great versatility for both routine and research applications. Various substrate materials have been used to produce microchips for DNA separations, including conventional (glass, silicon, and quartz) and alternative (polymers) platforms. In this study, we perform DNA separation in a simple and low-cost polyester-toner (PeT)-based electrophoresis microchip. PeT devices were fabricated by a direct-printing process using a 600 dpi-resolution laser printer. DNA separations were performed on PeT chip with channels filled with polymer solutions (0.5% m/v hydroxyethylcellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose) at electric fields ranging from 100 to 300 V cm(-1). Separation of DNA fragments between 100 and 1000 bp, with good correlation of the size of DNA fragments and mobility, was achieved in this system. Although the mobility increased with increasing electric field, separations showed the same profile regardless of the electric field. The system provided good separation efficiency (215,000 plates per m for the 500 bp fragment) and the separation was completed in 4 min for 1000 bp fragment ladder. The cost of a given chip is approximately $0.15 and it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare a single device.     

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-g-poly(ethyleneoxide) for high resolution and high speed separation of DNA by capillary electrophoresis.

A new separation medium, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-g-poly(ethyleneoxide) (PNI-PAM-g-PEO) solution, used for double-stranded (ds) DNA separation by capillary electrophoresis (CE) is presented. This type of grafted copolymer has a good self-coating ability for quartz capillary tubing and a slightly temperature-dependent viscosity-adjustable property, making it easier to use. One bp resolution was achieved within 12.5 min by using 8% w/v PNIPAM-gPEO in 1 x TBE (Tris-borate-ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid) buffer with an effective column length of 10 cm and an applied electric field strength of 200 V/cm. The PNIPAM-g-PEO solutions had a high sieving ability for relatively small sized DNAs with the relative standard derivation for the first 10 runs being less than 0.9% by using the same polymer solution. With 8% w/v PNIPAM-g-PEO solution in a 1.5 cm column and 2400 V as the running voltage, phiX174/HaeIII digest could be clearly separated within 24 s.
