Description

Magnetic control molecular combing method for stretching single molecular DNA
Technical Field
The invention is applied to the field of micro-nano biology, and particularly relates to a magnetic control molecular combing method for stretching single molecular DNA.
Background
Currently, the detection and analysis of genetic and epigenetic information in DNA molecules is an important basis for both bioscience and medical applications. The direct observation of fluorescence labeling information sites on DNA stretched in a straight line by DNA optical mapping technology is an efficient method for detecting epigenetic information, and has been increasingly widely used, such as gene screening, base methylation analysis, DNA-protein interaction analysis, and DNA damage detection. The primary step of DNA optical mapping technology is to stretch DNA molecules from a freely relaxed coiled form into a linear form, enabling direct observation of information sites. For example, a freely relaxed bulk lambda DNA (lambda phage DNA, 48.5kbp in length) with a radius of gyration of only 0.73 μm in solution could theoretically be stretched into a 32 μm straight form. The DNA stretching link directly and obviously affects the efficiency and the precision of the DNA optical map detection: (1) lower stretch ratios will result in lower spatial resolution of the detection; (2) the uneven stretching rate causes serious errors in measurement and analysis such as the relative position of information sites, the linear density of the information sites, the transverse contrast of DNA samples and the like; (3) expensive and complicated stretching instruments and procedures will limit the widespread use of DNA optical mapping techniques. With the wide development of biology, chemistry and informatics related to DNA optical mapping technology, the mechanical problem of stretching DNA molecules efficiently (conveniently, rapidly, with high stretching rate and uniform stretching) becomes the key of high-efficiency and high-precision DNA optical mapping analysis.
The current main DNA stretching methods comprise a nano-channel electrophoresis stretching method, an atomic force microscope manipulation method, an optical clamp manipulation method, a magnetic clamp manipulation method, a micro-flow field stretching method and the like. The nano-channel electrophoresis stretching method (Nat Biotechnol,2012,30(8),762- & 763; Nucleic Acids Res,2019,47(15), e89.) drives DNA molecules into a nano-channel (usually the diameter of the channel is less than 30nm) by electrophoretic force, and DNA extends to be linear under the restriction of the nano-channel. The method has high stretching ratio (about 0.8-1) and stretching uniformity. However, the nanochannel processing and instrumentation required for this method is very complex and expensive. Individual DNA molecules can be stretched accurately by atomic force microscopy, optical and magnetic clamping (Nucleic Acids Res,2016,44(9), 3971-7988), however, this type of method stretches only one or a small number of DNA molecules at a time and is very expensive in terms of equipment. The micro-flow field stretching method (Soft Matter,2015,11(16), 3105-. The molecular combing and stretching method (ACS Nano,2013,7: 9724-.
In summary, so far, a unimolecular DNA stretching method with the advantages of less DNA sample demand, convenient operation, high stretching rate, convenient integration with DNA sample processing and detection links, etc. needs to be constructed, and the method has important significance for DNA optical map application.

Magnetic control is utilized to drive the magnetic particles to drive the DNA liquid drops to move; an operator drives magnetic particles mixed in the DNA liquid drops by using a moving magnetic field to make the liquid drops move directionally, so that the DNA is directionally stretched into a straight line by using a moving gas-liquid-solid interface; wherein the moving magnetic field is one or more of moving magnetic fields generated by moving a permanent magnet and a magnetic induction coil.

The adsorption mode of the monomolecular DNA adsorbed on the substrate is one or more of the combination adsorption of hydrophobic bases exposed by uncoiling at the end of the DNA and the hydrophobic substrate or the electrostatic adsorption of a phosphate skeleton with negative electricity of the DNA and the substrate with positive electricity. The method for exposing the hydrophobic base at the end of the DNA by uncoiling comprises one or more of DNA helicase, heating and regulating the pH value of the solution; wherein the pH value is 3-11.
Example (b):
(1) preparing a hydrophobic substrate. Glass coverslips (22X 22mm) were soaked in fume hood with 70% w/w nitric acid and 37% w/w hydrochloric acid at a ratio of 2:1 and soaked overnight to erode all fluorescent contaminants. Clean glass coverslips were carefully washed from both sides with deionized water and ethanol. The glass coverslip was dried with N2 gas. Zeonex (480R, Zeon, Japan) was dissolved in chlorobenzene overnight to prepare a 1.5% w/v solution. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was dissolved in chloroform to prepare a 1.5% w/v solution. A hydrophobic substrate for DNA molecule stretching and immobilization was prepared by dropping 60. mu.l of Zeonex or PMMA solution with a glass pipette at the center of a dry glass cover slip and spin-coating at 2500rpm for 90 minutes (WS-650HZB-223NPP, Laurell, USA) to coat a hydrophobic polymer film on the surface of the glass slip.
(2) And preparing a DNA solution. Dropping NaOH solution into DNA solution to regulate pH value of DNA solution, unwinding the ends of DNA molecules in the solution and exposing hydrophobic nucleotide bases, adding magnetic particles into the DNA solution, and dropping the DNA solution onto hydrophobic surface with liquid-moving gun. The hydrophobic nucleotide bases exposed by the uncoiling of the DNA molecule are bound to the non-polar hydrophobic substrate by van der waals forces.
(3) The driving droplet stretches the DNA. The magnetic particles in the DNA droplets are driven by the moving magnet, which in turn drives the movement of the DNA droplets on the hydrophobic surface. Along with the retrogression of the liquid drop gas-liquid-solid interface, when the gas-liquid-solid interface strides over a section of DNA molecules fixed on the substrate, the DNA molecules are stretched into a straight line by the gas-liquid interfacial force.
The foregoing is directed to embodiments of the present invention, and equivalents, modifications, substitutions and variations such as will occur to those skilled in the art, which fall within the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
