Description:
Genomic DNA purified from human male Jurkat (human acute T-cell leukemia) cells that are treated with 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-Azadc), suitable as a negative control in the study of CpG dinucleotide methylation in the genome.

Source:
Jurkat (acute T-cell leukemia) cells were grown to 50 % confluency in RPMI plus 10% fetal bovine serum and were treated with a 2 µM 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine for eight days. Genomic DNA was isolated by a standard genomic purification protocol (1), phenol/chloroform extracted and equilibrated to 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and 1 mM EDTA.

Applications:
  • A negative control for Methylation-Specific PCR (MSP) (2), Bisulfite sequencing, Methylation-sensitive Single-Nucleotide Primer Extension (Ms-SNuPE), Combined Bisulfite Restriciton Analysis (COBRA), Bisulfite treatment and PCR-Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism Analysis (Bisulfite-PCR-SSCP/BiPS).

Notes


General notes:
  1. A260/280 Ratio: 1.90
  2. The potent methyltransferase inhibitor (MTI) 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (5-Azadc) (Decitabine, Dacogen) causes growth arrest, differentiation, and/or apoptosis of many cell types in vitro and in vivo. The genomic DNA derived from cells treated with this drug exhibit some lower molecular weight smearing when visualized on a 0.8% agarose gel. Significant (up to 70%) genome-wide CpG demethylation was confirmed by bisulfite sequencing of IGS ribosomal DNA (rDNA).

Quality Control for Current Lot


Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.

Quality Assurance Statement:
Purified free of contaminating protein and RNA.

Bisulfite Sequencing:
10 µl (1 µg) of 5-Azadc treated Jurkat Genomic DNA and normal Jurkat Genomic DNA were bisulfite converted (3) and eluted in 40 µl of TE buffer. 5 µl were added to a 20 µl PCR reactions containing primers specific to the fully CpG methylated intergenic spacer (IGS) ribosomal DNA (rDNA). 30% of the CpG dinucleotides normally methylated in the control DNA this region were demethylated in the 5-Azadc treated Jurkat Genomic DNA as determined from DNA sequenced from the appropriate sized PCR products.
