Control DNA Design v3

  • This week I began working on a new design for control DNA, hopefully I will only spend 1 extra week on this design.
  • I realized that I dont have to continue using the Digestion Control DNA sequence in the TruMethyl kit. I can design my control DNA from Lambda Phage DNA sequences. I used BiSearch online software to look for sequences that are suitable for amplification post-bisulfite covnersion with high specificity. I picked the top ranked result from BiSearch, extracted the unconverted sequence, and checked NEB Cutter for potential digestion site. I found that the restriction enzyme SphI cuts this 277 bp fragment at GCATGC recognition site. This enzyme is not methylation sensitive and so should be good to use for digestion-qPCR test of conversion efficiency. Since MspI appears to have some methylation sensitivity, I decided to not use this enzyme.
  • There are a total of 6 SphI digestion sites on Lambda Phage DNA, and I designed PCR primers for converted and unconverted DNA to generate 160-300 bp fragments with SphI digestion site in the middle. The primers are named A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Test A-F Lambda Phage DNA primers

  • For bisulfite converted DNA, we converted Lambda Phage DNA (NEB) using the EZ-Methylation Lightnigh Kit. The converted DNA was diluted to ~3ng/uL
  • Reaction for bisulfite converted DNA:
 Primers F/R mix (5 uM)                2 uL
 Template (~3ng/uL)                    1 uL
 2x iQ master mix                      25 uL
 Nuclease free water                   22 uL
  • Reaction for non-converted DNA:
 Primers F/R mix (5 uM)                2 uL
 Template (~1ng/uL)                    1 uL
 2x Taq master mix                     25 uL
 Nuclease free water                   22 uL
  • Program (same for both converted and non-converted reactions):
 96C 3 min -> [95C 30s, 55C 30s, 72C 30s]x20cycles -> 72C 1 min -> 4C hold
  • Gel image:

File:Control dna v3 unconverted lambdaDNA pcr.jpg File:Control dna v3 converted lambdaDNA pcr.jpg

  • Pooled B, E, F amplicons for size selection. Want to have a little background as possible for amplification.

PCR control DNA with modifications

  • Prepare 800 uL reaction for each. Use primers B for 5hmC, primers E for 5mC, and primers F for C.
  • Reaction set up:
 10x PCR buffer                10 uL x 8 = 80 uL
 water                         72 uL x 8 = 576 uL
 MgCl2                          7 uL x 8 = 56 uL
 Primer F/R (5uM)               4 uL x 8 = 32 uL
 Pooled B,E,F amplicons         1 uL x 8 = 8 uL
 JumpStart Taq Pol              2 uL x 8 = 16 uL
 dNTP mix                       4 uL x 8 = 32 uL
  • Program:
 94C 1 min -> [94C 30s, 55C 30s, 72C 1 min] x 20 cycles -> 72C 1 min -> 4C hold
  • Purified amplicons with QIAX II beads
  • Nanodrop
 B (5hmC) = 57.6 ng/uL
 E ( 5mC) = 85.4 ng/uL
 F (C)    = 57.4 ng/uL

T4 PNK + T4 DNA Ligase + TruSeq Adaptor Ligation

  • Preparing adapted controls for testing only!!!
  • Pool 1600 ng of each control DNA for testing, split into 9 reactions with ~500 ng pooled control amplicons in each.
  • Reaction set up:
 T4 PNK (10U/uL)             1 uL
 10x T4 DNA ligase buffer    1 uL
 Pooled amplicons (~500ng)   8 uL
  • 37C for 40 minutes
  • Add ligation reagents:
 10x T4 DNA ligase buffer    1 uL
 T4 DNA Ligase (6U/uL)       1 uL
 TruSeq Adaptors             1 uL
 Nuclease-free water         7 uL
  • 16C overnight. (18 hours)
  • Purified with 40 uL AMPure beads.
    • To prepare for the oxidation, we ran the entire volume of purified ligation products through a BioRad P6 SSC column, but because the column had leftover water in it, we diluted the ligation products to >500 uL volumes. We had to concentrate them again using QIAX II beads.
  • Tube ID & adaptor used:
 1 - 13
 2 - 14
 3 - 15

  • Testing these 8 conditions:
 (1) 1 ug Lambda DNA + 50 ng adapted control DNA + 15 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)
 (2) 1 ug Lamdba DNA + 50 ng adapted control DNA + 22.5 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)
 (3) 1 ug Lambda DNA + 50 ng adapted control DNA + 30 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)
 (4) 500 ng Lambda DNA + 25 ng adapted control DNA + 15 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)
 (5) 500 ng Lamdba DNA + 25 ng adapted control DNA + 22.5 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)

 (8) 500 ng Lambda DNA + 25 ng adapted control DNA + 15 nmoles oxidant (less bisulfite)
More bisulfite: use twice as much bisulfite mix per oxidation reaction
Less bisulfite: use normal amount of bisulfite mix per oxidation reaction
  • Prepare each mixure condition types using final volume of 23 uL, each condition uses control DNA with a different Indexed adaptor for sequencing.
  • Use BioRad P6 SSC columns to buffer exchange each 23 uL mix.
  • Prepare fresh 15 M NaOH, dilute to 1 M NaOH. Denature each mix with 1.25 uL of 1 M NaOH for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare fresh 2.155 M KRuO4: 0.044 g KRuO4 + 56 uL water, dilute to 15 mM, 22.5 mM, and 30 mM using fresh 1 M NaOH and water.
 0.70 uL KRuO4 (2.155M) + 5 uL NaOH (1M) + 94.30 uL water
 1.05 uL KRuO4 (2.155M) + 5 uL NaOH (1M) + 93.95 uL water
 1.40 uL KRuO4 (2.155M) + 5 uL NaOH (1M) + 93.60 uL water
  • Add 1 uL of KRuO4 solution (corresponding concentration) to each test condition. Oxidize at 40C for 1 hour.
  • After incubation the reactions were all clear with maybe a slight orange tinge.
  • Bisulfite conversion reaction set up:
 More bisulfite: To each oxidation reaction add 15 uL water (to 40 uL), 170 uL dissolved Bisulfite Mix,70 uL of DNA Protect Buffer.
 Less bisulfite: To each oxidation reaction add 85 uL dissolved Bisulfite Mix, 35 uL of DNA Protect Buffer.
  • Reaction program (~ 8hrs):
 95C 5 min -> 60C 20 min
 95C 5 min -> 60C 40 min
 95C 5 min -> 60C for 165 min
 95C 5 min -> 60C 20 min
 95C 5 min -> 60C 40 min
 95C 5 min -> 60C for 165 min
 20C hold overnight.

Post oxBS quantification (Nanodrop)

 1 - 72.6 ng/uL
 2 - 85.2 ng/uL
 3 - 154.3 ng/uL
 4 - 53.4 ng/uL
 5 - 97.8 ng/uL
 6 - 68.0 ng/uL
 7 - 38.0 ng/uL
 8 - 45.4 ng/uL

Post oxBS PCR of control DNA with TruS_F/R primers

  • Reaction set up:
Reagent Concentration Volume (uL) Final concentration 8.5X volume
Water NA 40.65 NA 345.53
PfuTurboCx Buffer 10X 5 1X 42.5

dNTP 10 mM 1.25 250 nM 10.625
PfuTurboCx 2.5U/uL 0.8 1 U 6.8
Template NA 2 NA ---
  • I didn't get the 5hmC control out from the PCR. This is a big problem because without the 5hmC control we cannot determine the effectiveness of oxidation. I only saw bands at ~400 bp which means the 5mC and/or C survived the whole process.
  • 2 uL template (post oxBS elution), 20 cycles:

qPCR, quantify how much lambda DNA leftover from conversion

    • First I purified amplified converted lambda DNA using primer set D and quantified the first dilution using Qubit. Got 2.48 ng/uL
    • Next, I made serial dilution by 10 folds less each time, using 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5), .5% Tween 20 solution
    • For each sample, I diluted 400X (or 1000X for sample 1), using 199.5 uL 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.5), .5% Tween 20 solution
    • Made a master mix then add master mix to triplicates of Standards and samples.

iQ Supermix Green 2X 5 1X 250
Primer F/R 10 uM 0.3 300 nM 15

Conclusion from oxBS test

  • Still waiting on sequencing to determine the conversion rates between 2x bisulfite mix versus 1x bisulfite mix per reaction. The yield from using 2x bisulfite mix was much less for the 1 ug case and about the same for the 500 ng case.
  • On increasing the concentration of oxidant, for the 1 ug case, in order of increasing oxidant we got: 646 ng -> 394 ng -> 1190 ng. In the last case, we might have errored on pipetting, so considering a 50% reduction in yield, we might need to consider using the smaller concentration of oxidant. For the 500 ng case, we only got data for the 1st and 3rd levels of oxidant concentrations, the yield were 163 ng -> 168 ng. Again, we are not sure why the 3rd level of oxidant always yielded the higher amount of DNA, and this may be due to pipetting error. I will repeat the experiment to compare the 2nd and 3rd level of oxidant.
  • We added 5% w/w control DNA but was not able to get the 5hmC back out. We probably need to increase the percentage of control DNA added, considering that up to over 80% loss of DNA was observed. Furthermore, not all of the control DNA may have adaptors on them since we cannot isolate those out without performing PCR. We cannot perform PCR on the adapted control DNA because we need the methylated adaptors on them.
  • Since the yield from 500 ng of input DNA is >100 ng each time, we can continue with capture with a starting amount of 500 ng for oxBS.

oxBS Test 2

  • Testing these 4 conditions:
 (5) 500 ng Lambda DNA + 100 ng adapted control DNA + 15 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)

 (7) 500 ng Lambda DNA + 100 ng adapted control DNA + 30 nmoles oxidant (more bisulfite)
 (8) 500 ng Lambda DNA + 100 ng adapted control DNA + 30 nmoles oxidant (less bisulfite - used all leftover bisulfite mix)
