cycles of 95C for 1 min, 55-62C for 1 min, 72C for 1 min. c) An extension of
10 min at 72C. PCR amplification was unaffected by the amplification of
GAPDH as an internal control in the same mixture reaction.
For quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis, the following conditions were
applied: 10 min at 95 C and 40 cycles of 15 sec at 95C and 1 min at 60C.
Bisulfite sequencing and methylation-specific PCR
DNA was extracted from 27 human cancer cell lines, including H23,
H23R, H460 H460R and 41S and 41R cell lines together with series of 5 m
sections from each FFPE block from 36 NSCLC-primary specimens and nonneoplasic lung tissues.
The cell lines DNA was used for the analysis of CpG island promoter
methylation and epigenetic treatment validation of the selected genes by
bisufite sequencing. Bisulfite modified tumor DNA from primary samples was
PCR amplified with specific primers for methylated versus unmethylated DNA to
study the IGFBP-3 promoter methylation status by methylation specific PCR.
Bisulfite modification of DNA allows the identification of CpG sites
ethylated. This modified DNA can be amplified and sequenced, providing
information regarding the CpG island status. DNA modification was developed
as follows; genomic DNA (1g) from mock, resistant and 5-aza and TSA treated
cell lines cultures and normal lung tissue and primary tumors was denatured by
NaOH (0.2M) for 10 min at 37C and then modified by hydroquinone and
sodium bisulfite treatment at 50C for 17 hours under a mineral oil layer.
Modified DNA was purified using the Wizard DNA Clean-Up system (Promega,
Madison, WI, USA). Modification was completed by NaOH (0.3M) treatment for
5 min at room temperature, followed by precipitation with glycogen, 10M
ammonium acetate and ethanol precipitation.
DNA fragments of 316-496 bp in size containing the promoter CpG island
were PCR amplified from bisulfite-modified cell line and normal tissue DNAs for
each gene analyzed. Primers were designed, when possible, to exclude binding
to any CpG dinucleotide to ensure amplification of both methylated or
unmethylated sequences (Supplementary table 1). PCR reactions were
performed under the following conditions: a) 1cycle of 95C for 5 min, 56-63C
for 1 min, 72C for 1 min; b) 34-38 cycles of 95C for 1 min, 55-64C for 1 min,
72C for 1 min. c) An extension of 10 min at 72C. The PCR products were run
into a 1.5% agarose gel, then cut and cleaned by Qiaquick (MinElute, Qiagen,
Valencia, CA, USA) and direct sequencing performed on all genes. In addition,
some gene products were cloned into a TOPO vector (Invitrogen) and at least
ten colonies from each gene analyzed by sequencing.
Bisulfite modified primary NSCLC tumor DNAs were used to analize the
IGFBP-3 methylation status by MSP. Specific primers were designed according
the results obtained from the cell lines bisulfite sequences, to detect methylated
or unmethylated modified DNA specifically, (Supplementary Table 1) that makes
MSP a very sensitive technique capable of detecting one methylated allele in a
background of 1000 unmethylated.
