Methylation specific PCR for promoter of MEG3
First, DNA from cells and tissues was extracted using the QIAmp DNA Mini kit (Qiagen, German), according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Next, we used the EpiTect Bisulfite kit (Qiagen) for bisulfate conversion following the product manual. At last, Methylation specific PCR (MSP) was performed on Bisulfite-treated DNA using EpiTect MSP kit (Qiagen). The primers of MEG3 promoter which specific for methylated and unmethylated were as follows: the methylated pair (M) was 5′-GTT AGT AAT CGG GTT TGT CGG C (forward) and 5′-AAT CAT AAC TCC GAA CAC CCG CG (reverse); the unmethylated pair (U) was 5′-GAG GAT GGT TAG TTA TTG GGG T (forward) and 5′-CCA CCA TAA CCA ACA CCC TAT AAT CAC A (reverse). The PCR reaction was conducted in DNA Engine Tetrad 2 Peltier Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad) under the following conditions: 95 °C 15 min; 94 °C 30s, 70 °C 30s, 72 °C 30s, 5 cycles; 94 °C 30s, 65 °C 30s, 72 °C 30s, 5 cycles; 94 °C 30s, 60 °C 30s, 72 °C 30s, 30 cycles; 72 °C 7 min. The PCR products were identified by electrophoresis through 2.5% agarose gel, stained with ethidium bromide, visualized under UV and compared by densitometry.
