What is DNA Microarray?What is DNA Microarray?
• Scientists used to be able to perform genetic analysis of a few genes at once. DNA microarray allows us to analyze thousands of genes in one experiment!
• It consists of an arrayed series of thousands of microscopic spots of DNA oligonucleotides, each containing a specific DNA sequence, known as probes.
PurposesPurposes• So why do we use DNA microarray?
– To measure changes in gene expression levels – two samples’ gene expression can be compared from different samples, such as from cells of different stages of mitosis.
– To observe genomic gains and losses. Microarray Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH)
– To observe mutations in DNA.
Oligonucleotide ProbesOligonucleotide Probes
A piece of DNA that binds specifically to a particular gene or part of a gene.
• The sequence of the gene probe must be complementary to the nucleotide bases of the specific mRNA or DNA sequence of interest.
• Gene probes can be as small as 20-40 base pairs or be up to 1000bp long.
The PlateThe Plate• Usually made commercially,made of glass, silicon, or nylon.• Each plate contains thousands of spots, and each spot
contains a probe for a different gene.• Probes can either be attached by robotic means, where a
needle applies the cDNA to the plate, or by a method similar to making silicon chips for computers. The latter is called a Gene Chip.

STEP 1: STEP 1: Probes DesigningProbes Designing
• DNA probes should be designed considering the various aspect such as melting temperature (Tm),guanine /cytonine (G/C)content, secondary structure, length and binding position within the target DNAs
• These factor can effect the signal intensity, specificity and sensitivity following hybridization.
• Longer probes are more specific to individual target genes, and shorter probes may be spotted across the array in higher densities and are cheaper to manufacture.
STEP 2:STEP 2: Isolate mRNAIsolate mRNA..• Extract the RNA from the samples. Using either a column,
or a solvent such as phenol-chloroform.
• After isolating the RNA, we need to isolate the mRNA from the rRNA and tRNA. mRNA has a poly-A tail, so we can use a column containing beads with poly-T tails to bind the mRNA.
• Rinse with buffer to release the mRNA from the beads. The buffer disrupts the pH, disrupting the hybrid bonds.
STEP 3a: Collect SamplesSTEP 3a: Collect Samples
This can be from a variety of organisms. We’ll use two samples – cancerous human skin tissue & healthy human skin tissue
STEP 3bSTEP 3b: Create Labelled : Create Labelled DNA.DNA.
Add a labelling mix to the RNA. The labelling mix contains poly-T (oligo dT) primers, reverse transcriptase (to make cDNA), and fluorescently dyed nucleotides.
We will add cyanine 3 (fluoresces green) to the healthy cells and cyanine 5 (fluoresces red) to the cancerous cells.
The primer and RT bind to the mRNA first, then add the fluorescently dyed nucleotides, creating a complementary strand of DNA
STEP 4: HybridizationSTEP 4: Hybridization..
• Apply the cDNA we have just created to a microarray plate.
• When comparing two samples, apply both samples to the same plate.
• The ssDNA will bind to the cDNA already present on the plate.
STEP 5a: LASERS!STEP 5a: LASERS!
STEP 5b: Microarray STEP 5b: Microarray Scanner.Scanner.
The scanner has a laser, a computer, and a camera.
The laser causes the hybrid bonds to fluoresce.
The camera records the images produced when the laser scans the plate.
The computer allows us to immediately view our results and it also stores our data.
STEP 6: Analyze the STEP 6: Analyze the DataData..
GREEN – the healthy sample hybridized more than the diseased sample.
RED – the diseased/cancerous sample hybridized more than the non diseased sample.
YELLOW - both samples hybridized equally to the target DNA.
BLACK - areas where neither sample hybridized to the target DNA.
By comparing the differences in gene expression between the two samples, we can understand more about the genomics of a disease.
Application in Cancer BiologyApplication in Cancer Biology
CancerCancer
• CANCER is a genetic disorder, mostly resulting from acquired mutations and epigenetic changes that influence gene expression.
• The use of DNA microarrays for the comprehensive analysis of RNA expression (expression profiling) in human tumor sample should much promise.

Microarray in CancerMicroarray in Cancer
• The advent of the technology of DNA microarrays constitutes an epochal change in the classification and discovery of different types of cancer because the information provided by DNA microarrays allows an approach to the problem of cancer analysis from a quantitative rather than qualitative point of view.
• Cancer classification requires well founded mathematical methods which are able to predict the status of new specimens with high significance levels starting from a limited number of data.
Working with cancerWorking with cancer
• The mRNA is a copy of the DNA and, therefore, is complimentary to the DNA it was copied from.
• mRNA is placed onto the chip, the mRNA that was expressed from the DNA will bind onto the DNA that it is complementary.
• As a result, the mRNA that binds with the DNA on the chip will give off a fluorescent dye that can be analyzed by a computer. The brighter the color that is present on the computer screen, the more active the gene is and the less color, or even no color, means that a gene is not being expressed.

The Future of DNA MicroarrayThe Future of DNA Microarray
• Gene discovery. DNA Microarray technology helps in the identification of new genes, know about their functioning and expression levels .
• Disease diagnosis. classify the types of cancer on the basis of the patterns of gene activity in the tumor cells.
• Pharmacogenomics. is the study of correlations between therapeutic responses to drugs and the genetic profiles of the patients.
• Toxicogenomics. microarray technology allows us to research the impact of toxins on cells. Some toxins can change the genetic profiles of cells, which can be passed on to cell progeny.
Personalized MedicinePersonalized Medicine
• Expression patterns and levels, referred to as the brightness from the fluorescent dye, allows scientists to be able to determine which genes are being active in a cancerous cell.
• Personalized treatment plans can be developed for each individual patient.
