Fabrication of DNA microarrays on nanoengineered polymericultrathin film prepared by self-assembly of polyelectrolytemultilayers
Microarray-based technology is in need of flexible andcost-effective chemistry for fabrication of oligonucleotide microarrays.We have developed a novel method for the fabrication of oligonucleotidemicroarrays with unmodified oligonucleotide probes on nanoengineeredthree-dimensional thin films that are deposited on glass slides byconsecutive layer-to-layer adsorption of polyelectrolytes. Unmodifiedoligonucleotide probes were spotted and immobilized on these multilayeredpolyelectrolyte thin films (PET) by electrostatic adsorption andentrapment on the porous structure of the PET film. The PET provideshigher probe binding capacity and thus higher hybridization signal thanthat of the traditional two-dimensional aminosilane and poly-L-lysinecoated slides. Immobilized probe densities of 3.4 x 1012/cm2 wereobserved for microarray spots on PET with unmodified 50-meroligonucleotide probes, which is comparable to the immobilized probedensities of alkyamine-modified 50-mer probes end-tethered on analdehyde-functionalized slide. The study of hybridization efficiencyshowed that 90 percent of immobilized probes on PET film are accessibleto target DNA to form duplex format in hybridization. The DNA microarrayfabricated on PET film has wider dynamic range (about 3 orders ofmagnitude) and lower detection limit (0.5 nM) than the conventionalamino- and aldehyde-functionlized slides. Oligonucleotide microarraysfabricated on these PET-coated slides also had consistent spotmorphology. In addition, discrimination of single nucleotide polymorphismof 16S rRNA genes was achieved with the PET-based oligonucleotidemicroarrays. The PET microarrays constructed by our self-assembly processis cost-effective, versatile, and well suited for immobilizing many typesof biological active molecules so that a wide variety of microarrayformats can be developed.
