Optimization of conditions to extract high quality DNA for PCR analysis from whole blood using SDS-proteinase K method

Abstract

In case of studies associated with human genetics, genomics, and pharmacogenetics the genomic DNA is extracted from the buccal cells, whole blood etc. Several methods are exploited by the researchers to extract DNA from the whole blood. One of these methods, which utilizes cell lysis and proteolytic properties of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and proteinase K respectively, might also be called SDS-PK method. It does not include any hazardous chemicals such as phenol or chloroform and is inexpensive. However, several researchers report the same method with different formulas and conditions. During our experiments with whole blood DNA extraction we experienced problems such as protein contamination, DNA purity and yield when followed some SDS-PK protocols reported elsewhere. A260/A280 and A260/A230 ratios along with PCR amplification give a clear idea about the procedure that was followed to extract the DNA. In an effort to increase the DNA purity from human whole blood, we pointed out some steps of the protocol that play a crucial role in determining the extraction of high quality DNA.

“…DNA extraction: Each group snail or fish was pooled from at least of five specimens. The genomic DNA was extracted from snail-feet and fish blood or liver using the methods of (Junghans et al, 1990;Hillis et al, 1996;Turtinen and Juran, 1998;Qamar et al, 2017). From each sample, 0.1g to 0.5 g of snails'head-foot tissues were ground in a mortor and pestle in liquid nitrogen until a fine powder was obtained.…”

“…Selain itu, beberapa ion garam yang terikat oleh protein juga menjadi terlepas setelah proses degradasi sehingga menjadi bebas dan meningkatankan absorbansi pada 230 nm. Qamar et al (2017) menyatakan bahwa tahapan proses ekstraksi DNA yang paling mempengaruhi rasio 260/230 adalah tahap pencucian dengan 70% (v/v) etanol. Meskipun demikian, peningkatan rasio 260/230 tidak begitu serius menggeser rasio tersebut di luar nilai ideal.…”

“…Nukleinske kisline se vežejo na s silicijem prevlečene površine magnetnih delcev v prisotnosti kaotropičnih soli, ki lizirajo celice, denaturirajo proteine, inaktivirajo nukleaze in pospešujejo vezavo DNA na magnetne delce (24). Ekstrakcija DNA iz krvi je v primerjavi z ekstrakcijo DNA iz kosti veliko hitrejša, saj celoten postopek ekstrakcije traja le slabo uro, ekstrakcija DNA iz kosti pa več dni (25).…”
