Abstract

Analysis of DNA, RNA, and proteins for downstream genetic, epigenetic, transcriptomic, and proteomic analysis holds an important place in the field of medical care and life science. This is often hampered by the limited availability of sample material. For this reason, there exists an increasing interest for simultaneous isolation of DNA, RNA and proteins from a single sample aliquot. Several kit-systems allowing such a procedure have been introduced to the market. We present an approach using the AllPrep method for simultaneous isolation of DNA, RNA and proteins from several human specimens, such as whole blood, buffy coat, serum, plasma and tissue samples. The quantification and qualification of the isolated molecular species were assessed by different downstream methods: NanoDrop for measuring concentration and purity of all molecular species; DNA and RNA LabChip for fractionation analysis of nucleic acids; quantitative PCR for quantification analysis of DNA and RNA; thymidine-specific cleavage mass array on MALDI-TOF silico-chip for epigenetic analysis; Protein LabChip and two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis for proteomic analysis. With our modified method, we can simultaneously isolate DNA, RNA and/or proteins from one single sample aliquot. We could overcome to some method limitations like low quality or DNA fragmentation using reamplification strategy for performing high-throughput downstream assays. Fast and easy performance of the procedure makes this method interesting for all fields of downstream analysis, especially when using limited sample resources. The cost-effectiveness of the procedure when material is abundantly available has not been addressed. This methodological improvement enables to execute such experiments that were not performable with standard procedure, and ensures reproducible outcome.
