PMID: 9371799 An array of cDNAs from all known ORFs in the yeast genome (yeast genome DNA sequence had been released in April 1996) Comparison of mRNA expression between yeast growing in either glucose or galactose contatining media See red and green spots for relative expression differences and note most spots are yellow because there is no change in expression between the two samples Interrogation of the ENTIRE TRANSCRIPTOME in a single experiments Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Refinements of microarray based techniques Sample cDNA fluorescent labeling methods Cy3/5 Cy3/ Cy5 coupled dNTPs Amino-allyl modified dNTPs are more efficiently incorporated into cDNA . . . Poor rates of incorporation by reverse transcriptase enzymes due to ‘bulky’ Cy dye moiety . . . and the fluorescent Cy dyes can then be coupled to this reactive amine after completion of cDNA synthesis Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Refinements of microarray based techniques Array manufacture • traditionally double stranded (ds) Probe cDNAs generated by PCR where one of the oligo primers used has a 5’ amino modification cDNAs were arrayed • glass slides would be coated (e.g. poly-L-lysine) to facilitate ds cDNA binding • REDUCED SENSITIVITY because the two strands could self anneal therefore blocking the hybridization of the labeled sample cDNA • SINGLE STRANDED microarrays developed A A A A A cDNAs then spotted on coated slides and covalently attached via amino group. Denaturing the spotted DNA leaves a single strand available for highly efficient hybridisation with the labeled sample Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Spotted oligonucleotide arrays Publication of genome sequences permit the design of ‘short’ DNA oligonucleotides (25 70 nts) that are sequencfe specific for particular genes. These single stranded oligos can then by spotted onto the microarray slide and hybridised in ‘ two colour competitive hybridisations’ Oligo probes Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Spotted oligonucleotide microarrays • The probe features on the microarray are deposited onto the slide as presynthesised/ complete entities (e.g. orignally as bacterial clones and lately as cDNA PCR products or oligos) • They are usually used in ‘two colour competitive hybridisations’ involving differently labled ‘experimental’ and ‘reference’ samples • They can be relatively easily made ‘in house’ and as time has progressed they have become cheaper Although they were the first ‘true’ microarrays they are not the only type available! Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays In situ synthesised oligonucleotide arrays e.g. ‘Affymetrix GeneChip’ • single stranded oligonucleotides (25 nts for Affy) are directly synthesised onto the array surface on nucleotide at a time (e.g. photochemical lithography) • permits a very high density of probes on a single microarray (e.g. all known ORF human genome) • highly commercialised and highly standardised protocols • highly SENSITIVE and SPECIFIC when compared to traditional spotted arrays Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Other common in situ synthesised oligonucleotide arrays • NimbleGen; similar to Affymetrix arrays but rather than using photolithography masks to direct the photochemistry of oligo synthesis, specialised aluminium digital mirrors devices automatically focus the light onto the correct part of the array • Inkjet microarrays; uses the same nozzles developed to spray ink droplets in printers to fire appropriately sized droplets of A, C, G or T nucleotides to the correct part of the microarray. Uses chemical means to de-protect the preceeding base in the oligo to allow formation of a new phoso-di-ester bond. In situ oligonucleotide arrays are not used in ‘two colour competitive hybridisations’ rather the experimental and reference samples are labeled with the same fluorophore and each hybridised to its own micro array Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Basic microarray experimental summary for transcriptome analysis samples RNA purification and cDNA preparation Fluorescent labeling of cDNA Hybridisation to microarray and washes Data collection and analysis Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Data Analysis (basic) Microarray datasets are very large!!!! Commercial microarrays come with analysis softwares and/or services that contain algorithms that deal with such issues • Data flagging; checking that each spot/ feature on the array is OK e.g. obscured by dust or has poorly hybridised, and removing bad data points. • Data transformation; microarray data is most often given as fold expression changes, that are best represented in Log2 space • Background correction; a method to determine the quality of the hybridisation either across a single microarray or between microarrays, that take this into account when measuring fluoresence intensity of the spot/ feature itself Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Data Analysis (basic) • Normalisation; a method to ensure that the differences in gene expression between samples are not artifactual e.g. hybridising twice as much labeled sample in one case than the other. - global normalisation/ scaling (assume that the median ratio (or fold enrichment) in a data set = 1 or Log2 = 0) thereby allows calculation of a ‘scaling factor’ to correct all the data points in one sample by that of the other sample. - local normalisation (each data point is normalised separately according to predefined criteria such as fluorescence intensity) e.g. LOWESS normalisation ( ‘ two colour ’ experiments) or QUANTILE (for ‘single channel’ arrays). Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Data Analysis (basic) LOWESS normalisation Log2 expression fold change Raw data After LOWESS 0 Fluorescence intensity Note that the bais caused by low fluorescence intensity has been corrected after LOWESS normalisation Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Data Analysis (basic) • Identifying trends in microarray data; e.g. hierarchical clustering and visulalisation algorithms/ tools such as ‘ClusterTreeview; Individual genes (spots/ feature on the microarray) Replicate experiments (i.e microarrays) Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays MICROARRAY DATA STANDARDISTION Microarray datasets are large and diverse (e.g. what type of array was used, how many replicates) making the exchange of data between researchers difficult. Therefore journals now require that any published microarray data is deposited into an internationally recognized database called MIAME, that aims to standardise all the data and make it esily avaialble to the whole of the research community Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays MICROARRAY APPLICATIONS • TRANSCRIPT PROFLING; discussed above and was the first application of microarrays to identify changes in mRNA expression between two samples on a large scale. Also adaptable to assay non-coding RNA expression differences e.g. miRNAs • ARRAY COMPARATIVE GENOME HYBRIDISATION (arrayCGH)*; a method of assaying (whole) genome content between samples e.g. large genomic deletions or amplifications (copy number changes) often associated with cancer • CHROMATIN IMMUNOPRECIPITATION (ChIP)*; a protocol to detect the interaction of specific protein with defined regions of the genome e.g. specific transcription factor or epigenetic chromatin/ histone modifications • SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE POLYMORPHISM (SNP) & ALTERNATIVE SPLICE SITE DETECTION; specially designed sequence spot/ features on the array (e.g. different SNPs or known/predicted exon boundaries) are used to assay samples for their presence Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays CGH Patients DNA A cytological technique were two genomes (e.g. from a cancer patient and a population of unaffected individuals) are flourescently and differentially labeled, then competitively hybridised (hence ‘CGH’) to a spread of metaphase chromsomes. The ratio of intensity of the two fluorophores along the chromosomes length reported either deletions or amplifications of that part of the patients genome EFFECTIVE BUT CRUDE WITH LOW RESOLUTION Reference DNA CGH Metaphase chromosomes Patient deletion Patient amplification Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Array CGH Replace the metaphase chromosomes with microarrays containing spots/ features that correspond to segments (however large or small one requires) of the genomic DNA e.g. Array CGH of the DNA of a brain tumour patient Much greater level of detail e.g. one can detect deletion/ amplification of individual genes as well as whole chromosomes (possible when using exon arrays to detect even intra-geneic copy number variations). Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) A method to assay whether specific proteins are interacting with discreet regions of the DNA genome in intact cell nuclei e.g. gene promoters or chromsome telomeres or centromeres Proteins could be . . . . SPECIFIC TRANCRIPTION FACTORS MODIFIED HISTONE/ CHROMATIN VARIANTS ASSOCIATED WITH FUNCTION e.g. DNA replication or transcription Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) Cells Cross-link with Formaldehyde and sonicate to fragment Hybridise to genomic array Immunoprecipitate DNA-protein-Ab complexes IgG to any protein e.g. histone or TF Reverse protein-DNA crosslinks Fluorescently Label DNA Extract DNA QPCR quantitation ChIP:Chip. A high-throughput assay of protein:genome interactions Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays e.g. ChIP:Chip for REST TF on chromosmal tiling arrays Utilised a microarray consisting of 44 tiled chromosomal regions of the human genome (~1% of the total). Each tile is one spot/ feature on the microarray REST RE1 Probed with ChIP DNA using an antibody against the transcription factor REST, from a variety of human cells lines Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays e.g. ChIP:Chip for REST TF REST ChIP:Chip data annotated over in a genome browser window Raw Data Normalised Data Bruce et al., Gen. Res. (2009) Genes One can identify which genes the REST TF is binding proximally to and is therefore likely to regulate Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays e.g. ChIP:Chip for REST TF Functional analysis e.g. after RNAi for REST HBA1/2 locus Luciferase siRNA (48h) REST siRNA (48h) Luciferase siRNA L1CAM locus REST siRNA Combining the ChIP:Chip with functional analysis details that not all REST-genome interactions are the same! Bruce et al., Gen. Res. (2009) Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays e.g. ChIP:Chip for REST TF Performing hierarchical clustering on the functional RNAi data reveals REST interacts with slightly different sequence motifs that determine its affinity for bining genomic DNA and regulating the transcription of its target genes Bruce et al., Gen. Res. (2009) Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Microarrays revolutionized biological sciences research Number of articles describing the use of ‘expression’ microarrays • Microarrays were at the vanguard of the genomic era • They are highly sensitive and versatile • As an established technique they are optimized and accessible (financially) to many researchers • They’ve been responsible for many fundamental and applied research acheivements However microarrays are being superceded by more advanced technologies termed ‘next generation sequencing’ Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Next generation sequencing Any DNA (e.g. ChIP DNA, cDNA, gDNA etc. DNA clusters then sequenced by conventional reversible terminanting fluorescent based sequencing Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Next generation sequencing • The number of identical sequences read is directly proportional to the abundance of the DNA in the original sample. Hence the method is quantitative! • CRUCIALLY - no prior knowledge of the sequence is required to quantify the abundance of the DNA in the sample not true for microarrays (i.e. manufacture of the arrays relies on knowing the sequence or at least having a clone) e.g. ChIP-Seq • Therefore good for investigating organisms for which no genomic sequence data is available • HOWEVER still quite a preliminary technique very expensive when compared to microarrays, putting it out of reach of most researchers. ALSO generates vast amounts of data, all of which may not be relevant to the researcher. Advanced methods in molecular biology - Introduction to microarrays Hence it’s highly probable that microarrays will remain with use for the foreseeable future!
