AB  - Introduction: DNA methylation is a major regulator of transcriptional activity and alongside other epigenetic modifications it introduces specific level of chromatin complexity. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a rapid, non-destructive, and label-free technique for identifying subtle changes in all bio-macromolecules, and it has been used as a method of choice for studying DNA conformation. The present study was designed to explore the use of synchrotron-based FTIR spectroscopy to monitor the subtle changes on molecular level regarding the DNA methylation status of cytosine in the whole genome.
Methods: For FTIR-based DNA methylation analysis in situ, DNA-HALO samples were prepared using slightly modified methodology for nuclear HALO preparations where DNA-HALOs are liberated of any protein residues but preserve higher order chromatin structure.
Results: Using FTIR spectroscopy we analysed and compared methylation profiles of isolated genomic DNA and DNA-HALO samples. DNA-HALO structure shows more distinct peaks in fingerprint region of spectra. DNA-HALO structure is more accurate for detecting bonds in unmemthylated cytosine as specific infrared peaks are defined as vibrations of bonds in unmethylated cytosine at 1151 cm-1 and 1357 cm-1. The ratio of integrated area under the peak 1151 cm-1 over integrated area under the peak that represents PO2-backbone vibrations can be used to assess level of unmethylated cytosine and thus methylation rate in the DNA-HALO samples.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates potential of FTIR spectroscopy to detect DNA methylation in DNA-HALO samples more precisely compared to classical DNA extraction procedure that yield unstructured whole genomic DNA.

AB  - Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a rapid, non-destructive and label-free technique for identifying subtle changes in all bio-macromolecules, and has been used as a method of choice for studying DNA conformation, secondary DNA structure transition and DNA damage. In addition, the specific level of chromatin complexity is introduced via epigenetic modifications forcing the technological upgrade in the analysis of such an intricacy. As the most studied epigenetic mechanism, DNA methylation is a major regulator of transcriptional activity, involved in the suppression of a broad spectrum of genes and its deregulation is involved in all non-communicable diseases. The present study was designed to explore the use of synchrotron-based FTIR analysis to monitor the subtle changes in molecule bases regarding the DNA methylation status of cytosine in the whole genome. In order to reveal the conformation-related best sample for FTIR-based DNA methylation analysis in situ, we used methodology for nuclear HALO preparations and slightly modified it to isolated DNA in HALO formations. Nuclear DNA-HALOs represent samples with preserved higher-order chromatin structure liberated of any protein residues that are closer to native DNA conformation than genomic DNA (gDNA) isolated by the standard batch procedure. Using FTIR spectroscopy we analyzed the DNA methylation profile of isolated gDNA and compared it with the DNA-HALOs. This study demonstrated the potential of FTIR microspectroscopy to detect DNA methylation marks in analyzed DNA-HALO specimens more precisely in comparison with classical DNA extraction procedures that yield unstructured whole genomic DNA. In addition, we used different cell types to assess their global DNA methylation profile, as well as defined specific infrared peaks that can be used for screening DNA methylation.
