Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nucleic acids, oligonucleotides, PNA-oligomers and to a method for the diagnosis and/or therapy of diseases which have a connection with the genetic and/or epigenetic parameters of genes associated with DNA replication and, in particular, with the methylation status thereof.
  • the replication of double stranded genomic DNA is a complex activity. It is carried out in three key stages, initiation, elongation and termination. Each stage involves specific protein and enzyme complexes.
  • initiation the double helix is temporarily separated and stabilized into two single strands, each of which acts as a template for the replication of the DNA from the replication fork. Separation of the two strands is carried out by a helicase, and stabilisation of the strands is achieved using a single stranded binding protein.
  • Replication of the DNA is then carried out by a polymerase after synthesis of a short ‘primer’ sequence. Replication is carried out in a semi-discontinuous fashion. The leading strand is continuously synthesised in the 5′ to 3′ direction.
  • replication of the lagging strand in the 3′ to 5′ direction is made by the synthesis of short fragments in the 5′ to 3′ direction.
  • replication is terminated, and the lagging strand complementary DNA fragments are ligated into a continuous strand.
  • Disruptions to the ordered replication of DNA may impact on a wide variety of disease phenotypes. These range from chromosomal disorders to disorders at a molecular level. Malfunctions in the specific genes involved in DNA replication have been implicated in several disease phenotypes, including, but not limited to cancer:
  • a global analysis of the status of DNA replication mechanisms would provide a basis for the development of appropriate and specific therapies for diseases associated with DNA replication.
  • the current state of the art is such that the analysis may be carried out in a gene specific manner based on the results of gene expression, e.g. DNA micro array analysis of mRNA expression or proteomic analysis.
  • the next step would then be to look at the causal factors involved at earlier stages in the regulatory mechanisms controlling DNA replication.
  • DNA methylation provides such a novel level of information at which to analyse the genome.
  • 5-methylcytosine is the most frequent covalent base modification in the DNA of eukaryotic cells. It plays a role, for example, in the regulation of the transcription, in genetic imprinting, and in tumorigenesis. Therefore, the identification of 5-methylcytosine as a component of genetic information is of considerable interest. However, 5-methylcytosine positions cannot be identified by sequencing since 5-methylcytosine has the same base pairing behaviour as cytosine. Moreover, the epigenetic information carried by 5-methylcytosine is completely lost during PCR amplification.
  • a relatively new and currently the most frequently used method for analyzing DNA for 5-methylcytosine is based upon the specific reaction of bisulfite with cytosine which, upon subsequent alkaline hydrolysis, is converted to uracil which corresponds to thymidine in its base pairing behavior.
  • 5-methylcytosine remains unmodified under these conditions. Consequently, the original DNA is converted in such a manner that methylcytosine, which originally could not be distinguished from cytosine by its hybridization behavior, can now be detected as the only remaining cytosine using “normal” molecular biological techniques, for example, by amplification and hybridization or sequencing. All of these techniques are based on base pairing which can now be fully exploited.
  • the prior art is defined by a method which encloses the DNA to be analyzed in an agarose matrix, thus preventing the diffusion and renaturation of the DNA (bisulfite only reacts with single-stranded DNA), and which replaces all precipitation and purification steps with fast dialysis (Olek A, Oswald J, Walter J. A modified and improved method for bisulphite based cytosine methylation analysis. Nucleic Acids Res. 1996 Dec. 15; 24(24):5064-6). Using this method, it is possible to analyze individual cells, which illustrates the potential of the method.
  • Genomic sequencing indicates a correlation between DNA hypomethylation in the 5′ region of the pS2 gene and its expression in human breast cancer cell lines. Gene. 1995 May 19; 157(1-2):2614; WO 97/46705, WO 95/15373 and WO 97/45560.
  • Fluorescently labelled probes are often used for the scanning of immobilised DNA arrays.
  • the simple attachment of Cy3 and Cy5 dyes to the 5′-OH of the specific probe are particularly suitable for fluorescence labels.
  • the detection of the fluorescence of the hybridized probes may be carried out, for example via a confocal microscope. Cy3 and Cy5 dyes, besides many others, are commercially available.
  • Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry is a very efficient development for the analysis of biomolecules (Karas M, Hillenkamp F. Laser desorption ionization of proteins with molecular masses exceeding 10,000 daltons. Anal Chem. 1988 Oct. 15; 60(20):2299-301).
  • An analyte is embedded in a light-absorbing matrix. The matrix is evaporated by a short laser pulse thus transporting the analyte molecule into the vapor phase in an unfragmented manner.
  • the analyte is ionized by collisions with matrix molecules.
  • An applied voltage accelerates the ions into a field-free flight tube. Due to their different masses, the ions are accelerated at different rates. Smaller ions reach the detector sooner than bigger ones.
  • MALDI-TOF spectrometry is excellently suited to the analysis of peptides and proteins.
  • the analysis of nucleic acids is somewhat more difficult (Gut I G, Beck S. DNA and Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry. Current Innovations and Future Trends. 1995, 1; 147-57).
  • the sensitivity to nucleic acids is approximately 100 times worse than to peptides and decreases disproportionally with increasing fragment size.
  • the ionization process via the matrix is considerably less efficient.
  • the selection of the matrix plays an eminently important role.
  • Genomic DNA is obtained from DNA of cell, tissue or other test samples using standard methods. This standard methodology is found in references such as Fritsch and Maniatis eds., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 1989.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide the chemically modified DNA of genes associated with DNA replication, as well as oligonucleotides and/or PNA-oligomers for detecting cytosine methylations, as well as a method which is particularly suitable for the diagnosis and/or therapy of genetic and epigenetic parameters of genes associated with DNA replication.

  • a defined fragment having a length of 866 bp is amplified with the specific primer oligonucleotides TTTAAGGTAAGAGAATAGGT (Sequence ID No. 95) and AAACAACTTAAATACCAATC (Sequence ID No. 96).
  • This amplificate serves as a sample which hybridizes to an oligonucleotide previously bonded to a solid phase, forming a duplex structure, for example GGTTTGTACGAGTAGTTT (Sequence ID No. 97), the cytosine to be detected being located at position 135 of the amplificate.
  • the detection of the hybridization product is based on Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescently labeled primer oligonucleotides which have been used for the amplification.
  • a hybridization reaction of the amplified DNA with the oligonucleotide takes place only if a methylated cytosine was present at this location in the bisulfite-treated DNA. Thus, the methylation status of the specific cytosine to be analyzed is inferred from the hybridization product.
  • a sample of the amplificate is further hybridized to another oligonucleotide previously bonded to a solid phase.
  • Said olignonucleotide is identical to the oligonucleotide previously used to analyze the methylation status of the sample, with the exception of the position in question.
  • said oligonucleotide comprises a thymine base as opposed to a cytosine base i.e GGTTTGTATGAGTAGTTT (Sequence ID No. 98). Therefore, the hybridisation reaction only takes place if an unmethylated cytosine was present at the position to be analysed.
  • the procedure was carried out on cell samples from 2 patients, sample I being from an oligodendroglyome grade II tumour sample and sample II being from a astrocytoma grade II cerebrum tumor sample.
  • sample I contained contained only unmethylated cells at position 135 of the amplificate whereas sample II contained a mixture of methylated and unmethylated cells at position 135 of the amplificate.
  • methylation patterns In order to relate the methylation patterns to one of the diseases associated with DNA replication, it is initially required to analyze the DNA methylation patterns of a group of diseased and of a group of healthy patients. These analyses are carried out, for example, analogously to Example 1. The results obtained in this manner are stored in a database and the CpG dinucleotides which are methylated differently between the two groups are identified. This can be carried out by determining individual CpG methylation rates as can be done, for example, in a relatively imprecise manner, by sequencing or else, in a very precise manner, by a methylation-sensitive “primer extension reaction”. It is also possible for the entire methylation status to be analyzed simultaneously, and for the patterns to be compared, for example, by clustering analyses which can be carried out, for example, by a computer.
  • Example 2 can be carried out, for example, for the following diseases:
