在脊椎动物基因组中发生的胞嘧啶碱基(5-甲基胞嘧啶,5 mC)的甲基化通常与转录沉默有关。5-羟甲基胞嘧啶(5 hmC)、5-甲酰基胞嘧啶(5 fC)和5-羧基胞嘧啶(5caC)是最近发现的通过酶促氧化5 mC产生的修饰胞嘧啶碱基,其生物学功能仍然相对模糊。从生物化学到基于抗体的技术的许多方法已被用于研究这些修饰在各种生物系统中的基因组分布和全局含量。虽然这些方法中的一些可以用于定量评估这些修饰形式的5 mC,这些方法中的大多数不提供任何空间信息,这些DNA修饰在不同的细胞类型中的分布,需要正确理解它们的功能作用。在这里,我们提出了一个高度敏感的免疫化学检测胞嘧啶的修饰形式的方法。这种方法允许这些表观遗传标记与蛋白质谱系标记的共检测,并可用于研究它们的核定位,从而有助于在不同的实验背景下破译它们的潜在生物学作用。
Methylation of cytosine bases (5-methylcytosine, 5mC) occurring in vertebrate genomes is usually associated with transcriptional silencing. 5-hydroxylmethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC) are the recently discovered modified cytosine bases produced by enzymatic oxidation of 5mC, whose biological functions remain relatively obscure. A number of approaches ranging from biochemical to antibody based techniques have been employed to study the genomic distribution and global content of these modifications in various biological systems. Although some of these approaches can be useful for quantitative assessment of these modified forms of 5mC, most of these methods do not provide any spatial information regarding the distribution of these DNA modifications in different cell types, required for correct understanding of their functional roles. Here we present a highly sensitive method for immunochemical detection of the modified forms of cytosine. This method permits co-detection of these epigenetic marks with protein lineage markers and can be employed to study their nuclear localization, thus, contributing to deciphering their potential biological roles in different experimental contexts.
