DNA糖基化酶的单分子检测及其在癌症早期诊断中的应用研究

Maintaining genomic DNA stability is a necessity for all organisms’ survival. DNA glycosylase is an important initiating enzyme of cellular base excision repair pathway, which is responsible for the repair of various DNA lesions and the maintenance of genomic integrity. The dysregulation of DNA glycosylase activity is associated with a variety of human diseases including cancers. Thus, the development of ultrasensitive techniques for DNA glycosylase is of significance to early diagnosis and treatment of cancers. Single-molecule detection has remarkable advantages of high signal-to-noise ratio, high sensitivity and low sample consumption, and therefore has been widely applied to the clinical research. We will develop single-molecule detection-based techniques for the detection of DNA glycosylase with rapidity, accuracy and sensitivity, and further explore their application to complex biological samples and intact cells. We hope the single-molecule detection-based techniques will provide a powerful tool for biomedical research and clinical medical diagnosis.
