HPLC analysis of plant DNA methylation : a study of critical methodological factors

HPLC analysis of nucleosides is important for determining total DNA methylation in plants and can be used to help characterise epigenetic changes during stress, growth and development. This is of particular interest for in vitro plant cultures as they are highly susceptible to genetic change. HPLC m...

520 |a HPLC analysis of nucleosides is important for determining total DNA methylation in plants and can be used to help characterise epigenetic changes during stress, growth and development. This is of particular interest for in vitro plant cultures as they are highly susceptible to genetic change. HPLC methodologies have been optimised for mammalian and microbial DNA, but not for plants. This study examines critical methodological factors in the HPLC analysis of plant DNA methylation using in vitro cultures of Ribes ciliatum. HPLC revealed that complete removal of RNA from plant DNA extractions is difficult using RNase (A and T1) digestions and LiCl precipitation. This suggests that base analysis should be avoided when using these RNA removal techniques, as bases from residual RNA fragments will inflate peak areas for DNA-derived bases. Nucleoside or nucleotide analysis is therefore recommended as a more suitable option as RNA and DNA constituents can be readily separated. DNA digestion was also a critical factor as methylation was under-estimated following incomplete nuclease digestion and over-estimated following incomplete phosphatase digestion. The units of enzyme required for complete DNA digestion was optimised and found to be 20-200 times less for nuclease P1 and 15 times less for alkaline phosphatase as compared with previous protocols. Digestion performance was conveniently monitored using marker peaks that indicate incomplete digestion products. This study identifies critical components of HPLC analysis and offers a comprehensive guide for the stringent analysis of DNA methylation in plants
