Gene Diagnosis Using DNA-Linked Colloidal Nanoparticles


The graft copolymer consisting of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) and single-stranded DNA was found to form nanoparticles above physiological temperature. We found that non-crosslinking aggregation of the DNA-PNIPAAm nanoparticles was induced by the hybridization of the surface DNA with the full-match complementary DNA. We showed that this novel aggregation mechanism was applicable for the target 24mer DNA corresponding to k-ras (oncogene) codon 10-17 as well as for SNP sites of CYP2C9. Each nanoparticle aggregated by the hybridization with its full-match complementary DNA fragment, but not with one-base mismatch. These results demonstrated that the non-crosslinking aggregation of DNA- PNIPAAm nanoparticles is useful for analyzing various SNPs.

We have proven that the non-crosslinking aggregation is not a unique property of the DNA-PNIPAAm system. It also occurs with DNA-modified gold nanoparticles. The aggregation can be detected by colorimetric change of the colloidal solution into purple. The nanoparticles aggregate together when the probe DNA is hybridized with fully complementary DNA. In contrast, the terminal-mismatched DNA did not cause any discernible change. The non-crosslinking aggregation has unusual sensitivity for single-base mismatch at the terminus opposite to the anchored side.
