pCpGfree-basic & pCpGfree-promoter NEW<br />
Promoter CpG Methylation Study<br />
Methylation of CpG d<strong>in</strong>ucleotides with<strong>in</strong> the promoter region of genes is often associated with transcriptional<br />
silenc<strong>in</strong>g. This epigenetic event plays an important role <strong>in</strong> the regulation of gene activity <strong>in</strong> normal and cancer<br />
cells. InvivoGen provides pCpGfree-basic and pCpGfree-promoter, two SEAP reporter plasmids completely devoid<br />
of CpG d<strong>in</strong>ucleotides, that allow to study the effect of promoter CpG methylation <strong>in</strong> transfection assays. The lack<br />
of CpGs with<strong>in</strong> the plasmid backbone limits <strong>in</strong> vitro CpG methylation to the CpG d<strong>in</strong>ucleotides present <strong>in</strong> the<br />
<strong>in</strong>serted promoter fragment. Thus, the pCpGfree-basic and pCpGfree-promoter plasmids represent useful tools<br />
to analyze the effect of DNA methylation on CpG-conta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g promoters.<br />
Description<br />
The pCpGfree-basic and pCpGfree-promoter plasmids derive from the<br />
pCpGfree-mSEAP plasmid by deletion of the enhancer/promoter region<br />
or the enhancer sequence alone, respectively.<br />
pCpGfree-basic<br />
The pCpGfree-basic plasmid lacks the entire promoter region (i. e. mur<strong>in</strong>e<br />
CMV enhancer and human EF-1a promoter). It conta<strong>in</strong>s a multiple clon<strong>in</strong>g<br />
site upstream of the mur<strong>in</strong>e secreted embryonic alkal<strong>in</strong>e phosphatase<br />
(mSEAP) reporter gene. Expression of mSEAP <strong>in</strong> cells transfected with<br />
this plasmid depends on the <strong>in</strong>sertion of a functional promoter or<br />
enhancer/promoter cassette upstream from the mSEAP gene. Thus,<br />
pCpGfree-basic allows to study the effect of CpG methylation on a<br />
promoter, alone or comb<strong>in</strong>ed with enhancer elements.<br />
pCpGfree-promoter<br />
The pCpGfree-promoter plasmid conta<strong>in</strong>s the human EF-1a promoter<br />
and a multiple clon<strong>in</strong>g site <strong>in</strong> place of the mur<strong>in</strong>e CMV enhancer. It is<br />
specifically designed to analyze the effect of methylation on CpG residues<br />
present <strong>in</strong> enhancer elements.<br />
Procedure<br />
1- Insert promoter and/or enhancer fragment <strong>in</strong>to<br />
pCpGfree-basic or pCpGfree-promoter.<br />
2- Treat recomb<strong>in</strong>ant plasmid with CpG methylase (Sss I) or<br />
site specific-methylase (Hha I, Hpa II).<br />
3- Transiently transfect cells with methylase-treated or<br />
untreated plasmid.<br />
4- Analyze promoter CpG methylation by determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
mSEAP expression us<strong>in</strong>g QUANTI-Blue , a SEAP detection<br />
medium.<br />
