Single-channel multiplexing without melting curve analysis in real-time PCR.

ABSTRACT: Multiplex real-time PCR with quantification of targets in a single fluorescence channel has been the demand in biotechnology industry. Here, we develop a novel analytical real-time PCR technique to detect multiple targets in a single fluorescence channel without melting curve analysis. In this technique, we show the intensity of the fluorescence signals of two discrete Tm targets is different at certain temperatures called detection temperatures, by which a high Tm target can be detected regardless of a low Tm target. We then identify the low Tm target by utilizing a change of the fluorescence signals between two different detection temperatures. Furthermore, it enables us to determine quantification of each target in a single channel, possibly facilitating convenient patient care for drug treatment in clinics.

PCR Multiplexing Based on a Single Fluorescent Channel Using Dynamic Melting Curve Analysis.

Project description:Since its invention in 1986, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), has become a well-established method for the detection and amplification of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with a specific sequence. Incorporating fluorescent probes, known as TaqMan probes, or DNA intercalating dyes, such as SYBR Green, into the PCR mixture allows real-time monitoring of the reaction progress and extraction of quantitative information. Previously reported real-time PCR product detection using intercalating dyes required melting curve analysis (MCA) to be performed following thermal cycling. Here, we propose a technique to perform dynamic MCA during each thermal cycle, based on a continuous fluorescence monitoring method, providing qualitative and quantitative sample information. We applied the proposed method in multiplexing detection of hepatitis B virus DNA and complementary DNA of human immunodeficiency virus as well as glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in different concentration ratios. We extracted the DNA melting curve and its derivative from each PCR cycle during the transition from the elongation to the denaturation temperature with a set heating rate of 0.8 K·s-1and then used the data to construct individual PCR amplification curves for each gene to determine the initial concentration of DNA in the sample. Our proposed method allows researchers to look inside the PCR in each thermal cycle, determining the PCR product specificity in real time instead of waiting until the end of the PCR. Additionally, the slow transition rate from elongation to denaturation provides a dynamic multiplexing assay, allowing the detection of at least three genes in real time.

Rapid plasmid replicon typing by real time PCR melting curve analysis.

Project description:BackgroundGenes encoding Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamases are usually located on transferable plasmids. Each plasmid contains its own replication mechanism. Carattoli et al. developed an extended PCR-based replicon typing method to characterize and identify the replicons of the major plasmid incompatibility groups in Enterobacteriaceae. Based on this method, we designed a rapid approach with amplicon detection by real-time melting curve analysis. This method appeared to be fast, sensitive, less laborious, less prone to contamination and applicable in a routine laboratory environment.ResultsWe successfully integrated the post-PCR analysis of the replicon typing into a closed system, which leads to a 10-fold increase in sensitivity compared to agarose gel visualization. Moreover, the use of crude lysates and SYBR-green saves a considerable amount of hands-on time without decreasing the sensitivity or specificity.ConclusionsThis real-time melting curve replicon typing method appears to be fast, sensitive, less laborious, less prone to contamination and applicable in a routine laboratory environment.

Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the SNRPN gene using real-time PCR with melting curve analysis.

Project description:Prader-Willi syndrome and Angelman syndrome are distinct neurodevelopmental disorders that are associated with the deletion of the chromosomal 15q11-13 region or uniparental disomy of chromosome 15. In this article, we applied SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR and melting curve analysis assay for rapid genotyping of the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N (SNRPN) gene methylation status and for detecting aberrations in copy number in a single tube. A single pair of primers was designed to create a 357 bp fragment containing the cytosine phosphodiester guanine islands in the SNRPN promoter and to amplify both unmethylated and methylated sequences. Genotypes were identified based on the TC value for copy number changes and the characteristic melting temperature of methylated cytosine phosphodiester guanine. Genotyping of SNRPN was performed on blood samples of 20 individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome, 3 individuals with Angelman syndrome, and 20 unaffected individuals. The promoter methylation status and the copy number changes were successfully determined and compared with standard methylation-specific PCR, and were validated by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification. This single-tube, SYBR Green I, real-time PCR with melting curve assay is rapid, reliable, sensitive, and easy to perform. It is suitable for high-throughput analysis as an alternative technique for quantitative and qualitative analysis of target genes.

Asymmetric real-time PCR and multiplex melting curve analysis with TaqMan probes for detecting PIK3CA mutations.

Project description:The data in this article are related to the research article entitled "Optimization of melting analysis with TaqMan probes for detection of KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations" Botezatu et al. [1]. Somatic mutations in the PIK3CA gene ("hot spots" in exons 9 and 20) are found in many human cancers, and their presence can determine prognosis and a treatment strategy. An effective method of mutation scanning PIK3CA in clinical laboratories is DNA Melting Analysis (DMA) (Vorkas et al., 2010; Simi et al., 2008) [2], [3]. It was demonstrated recently that the TaqMan probes which have been long used in Real Time PCR may also be utilized in DMA (Huang et al., 2011) [4]. After optimization of this method Botezatu et al. [1], it was used for multiplex scanning PIK3CA hotspot mutations in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from patients with colorectal and lung cancer.

Detection and genotyping of oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum by real-time PCR and melting curve analysis.

Project description:Several real-time PCR procedures for the detection and genotyping of oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum were evaluated. A 40-cycle amplification of a 157-bp fragment from the C. parvum beta-tubulin gene detected individual oocysts which were introduced into the reaction mixture by micromanipulation. SYBR Green I melting curve analysis was used to confirm the specificity of the method when DNA extracted from fecal samples spiked with oocysts was analyzed. Because C. parvum isolates infecting humans comprise two distinct genotypes, designated type 1 and type 2, real-time PCR methods for discriminating C. parvum genotypes were developed. The first method used the same beta-tubulin amplification primers and two fluorescently labeled antisense oligonucleotide probes spanning a 49-bp polymorphic sequence diagnostic for C. parvum type 1 and type 2. The second genotyping method used SYBR Green I fluorescence and targeted a polymorphic coding region within the GP900/poly(T) gene. Both methods discriminated between type 1 and type 2 C. parvum on the basis of melting curve analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing the application of melting curve analysis for genotyping of C. parvum oocysts.

Detection of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli by use of melting-curve analysis and real-time multiplex PCR.

Project description:Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli strains are important causes of diarrhea in children from the developing world and are now being recognized as emerging enteropathogens in the developed world. Current methods of detection are too expensive and labor-intensive for routine detection of these organisms to be practical. We developed a real-time fluorescence-based multiplex PCR for the detection of all six of the currently recognized classes of diarrheagenic E. coli. The primers were designed to specifically amplify eight different virulence genes in the same reaction: aggR for enteroaggregative E. coli, stIa/stIb and lt for enterotoxigenic E. coli, eaeA for enteropathogenic E. coli and Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), stx(1) and stx(2) for STEC, ipaH for enteroinvasive E. coli, and daaD for diffusely adherent E. coli (DAEC). Eighty-nine of ninety diarrheagenic E. coli and 36/36 nonpathogenic E. coli strains were correctly identified using this approach (specificity, 1.00; sensitivity, 0.99). The single false negative was a DAEC strain. The total time between preparation of DNA from E. coli colonies on agar plates and completion of PCR and melting-curve analysis was less than 90 min. The cost of materials was low. Melting-point analysis of real-time multiplex PCR is a rapid, sensitive, specific, and inexpensive method for detection of diarrheagenic E. coli.

Simultaneous detection, genotyping, and quantification of human papillomaviruses by multicolor real-time PCR and melting curve analysis.

Project description:Long-term infection with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, while infection with low-risk HPV is the major reason for condylomata acuminata. An accurate, rapid, and convenient assay that is able to simultaneously detect, genotype, and quantify HPV would be of great clinical value yet remains to be achieved. We developed a three-color real-time PCR assay that is able to analyze 30 predominant HPV types in three reactions. The amplification curves indicated the presence of HPV, melting curve analysis identified the HPV genotype, and the quantification cycle value determined the quantity. We applied this assay to 647 cervical swab samples, and the results were compared with those obtained with a commercial genotyping system. The proposed assay had a limit of detection of 5 to 50 copies per reaction and a dynamic range of 5 × 10(1) to 5 × 10(6) copies per reaction. A comparison study showed that the overall sample concordance with the comparison method was 91.6% and the type agreement was greater than 98.7%. The quantification study demonstrated that the loads of HPV type 16 in 30 samples with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade III (CIN III) lesions were significantly higher than those in samples with CIN I lesions or CIN II lesions, and the results were concordant with those of the comparison method. The increased information content, high throughput, and low cost would facilitate the use of this real-time PCR-based assay in a variety of clinical settings.

High-throughput avian molecular sexing by SYBR green-based real-time PCR combined with melting curve analysis.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Combination of CHD (chromo-helicase-DNA binding protein)-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with electrophoresis (PCR/electrophoresis) is the most common avian molecular sexing technique but it is lab-intensive and gel-required. Gender determination often fails when the difference in length between the PCR products of CHD-Z and CHD-W genes is too short to be resolved. RESULTS: Here, we are the first to introduce a PCR-melting curve analysis (PCR/MCA) to identify the gender of birds by genomic DNA, which is gel-free, quick, and inexpensive. Spilornis cheela hoya (S. c. hoya) and Pycnonotus sinensis (P. sinensis) were used to illustrate this novel molecular sexing technique. The difference in the length of CHD genes in S. c. hoya and P. sinensis is 13-, and 52-bp, respectively. Using Griffiths' P2/P8 primers, molecular sexing failed both in PCR/electrophoresis of S. c. hoya and in PCR/MCA of S. c. hoya and P. sinensis. In contrast, we redesigned sex-specific primers to yield 185- and 112-bp PCR products for the CHD-Z and CHD-W genes of S. c. hoya, respectively, using PCR/MCA. Using this specific primer set, at least 13 samples of S. c. hoya were examined simultaneously and the Tm peaks of CHD-Z and CHD-W PCR products were distinguished. CONCLUSION: In this study, we introduced a high-throughput avian molecular sexing technique and successfully applied it to two species. This new method holds a great potential for use in high throughput sexing of other avian species, as well.

Real-time PCR and melting curve analysis for reliable and rapid detection of SHV extended-spectrum beta-lactamases.

Project description:Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), e.g., ESBLs of the TEM or SHV type, compromise the efficacies of expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. An SHV non-ESBL that hydrolyzes only narrow-spectrum cephalosporins can be converted into an SHV ESBL through substitutions at three amino acid positions, 179, 238, or 238--240. In order to improve detection of SHV ESBLs, a novel method, based on real-time PCR monitored with fluorescently labeled hybridization probes and followed by melting curve analysis, was developed. It is able to (i) detect bla(SHV) genes with high degrees of sensitivity and specificity, (ii) discriminate between bla(SHV non-ESBL) and bla(SHV ESBL), and (iii) categorize the SHV ESBL producers into three phenotypically relevant subgroups. This method, termed the SHV melting curve mutation detection method, represents a powerful tool for epidemiological studies with SHV ESBLs. It even has the potential to be used in the diagnostic microbiology laboratory, because up to 32 clinical isolates can be processed in less than 1 h by starting with just a few bacterial colonies.
