EpiQuik m6A RNA Methylation Quantification Kit (Colorimetric)

背景资料：N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) is the most common and abundant modification in RNA molecules present in eukaryotes. The m6A modification is catalyzed by a methyltransferase complex METTL3 and removed by the recently discovered m6A RNA demethylases FTO and ALKBH5, which catalyze m6A demethylation in an α-ketoglutarate (α-KG)- and Fe2+-dependent manner. It was shown that METTL3, FTO, and ALKBH5 play important roles in many biological processes, ranging from development and metabolism to fertility. m6A accounts for more than 80% of all RNA base methylations and exists in various species. m6A is mainly distributed in mRNA and also occurs in non-coding RNA such as tRNA, rRNA, and snRNA. The relative abundance of m6A in mRNA transcripts has been shown to affect RNA metabolism processes such as splicing, nuclear export, translation ability and stability, and RNA transcription. Abnormal m6A methylation levels induced by defects in m6A RNA methylase and demethylase could lead to dysfunction of RNA and diseases. For example, abnormally low levels of m6A in target mRNAs due to increased FTO activity in patients with FTO mutations, through an as-yet undefined pathway, contributes to the onset of obesity and related diseases. The dynamic and reversible chemical m6A modification in RNA may also serve as a novel epigenetic marker of profound biological significance. Therefore, more useful information for a better understanding of m6A RNA methylation levels and distribution on RNA transcripts could benefit diagnostics and therapeutics of disease.

产品描述：In this assay, total RNA is bound to strip wells using a RNA high binding solution. m6A is detected using specific capture and detection antibodies. The detected signal is enhanced and then quantified colorimetrically by reading the absorbance in a microplate spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 450 nm. The amount of m6A is proportional to the OD intensity measured. Both negative and positive RNA controls are provided in this kit. A standard curve can be performed (range: 0.02 to 1 ng of m6A) or a single quantity of m6A can be used as a positive control. Because m6A content can vary from tissue to tissue, and from normal and diseased states, or vary under treated and untreated conditions, it is advised to run replicate samples to ensure that the signal generated is validated. This kit will allow the user to quantify an absolute amount of m6A and determine the relative m6A RNA methylation states of two different RNA samples。

关于5-hmC
5-hmC是近年来在动物组织中发现的，由胞嘧啶修饰而来。5-hmC在表观遗传学上的功能可能与5-甲基化胞嘧啶(5-mC)不同。尽管到现在为止还不确知其功能，有研究者猜测它在调控基因的表达与关闭过程中起着重要的作用。5-mC的发现让我们不得不重新评估DNA甲基信息，也不得不监测人类的健康组织和病理组织之间5-mC相对分布的差异。在EPI公司的MethylFlash技术之前，我们还没有发现任何直接的常规方法来检测5- hmC,以及区分5-hmC和5-mC

5-hmC 和 5-mC的区别
时下常用的DNA甲基化分析方法包括限制内切酶酶切和亚硫酸氢盐或MeDIP介导的MS-PCR和测序，这些技术都不适合用来检测5-hmC，因为它与5-mC事实上很难用这类方法区分开来。为了解决这个问题，EPIk研制了MethylFlash羟甲基化DNA定量试剂盒(荧光法)。本试剂盒提供了一种很经济的方法来检测5-羟甲基化胞嘧啶，并且区分5-hmC, 5-mC, 和 C，使得研究者能够重新评估他们的DNA甲基化信息，也能够在新样品中寻找DNA羟甲基化。
