Ferrocenylnaphthalene diimide (FND)-based electrochemical hybridization assay was applied to the detection of methylated cytosine of DNA using the products obtained after treatment with bisulfite followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), where unmethylated cytosine is converted to thymine and methylated one to cytosine. Twenty-meric DNA probes for the methylated (cytosine) and unmethylated (thymine) types of the part of the promoter region of cyclin D-dependent protein kinase inhibitor, p16, gene (p16(Ink4a)) were used to be immobilized on the electrochemical array (ECA) chip. Using 1 mu L of 10 ng/mu L of methylated sample obtained from the methylation-specific PCR of methylated genome containing 10-times excess of unmethylated one, the methylated PCR sample could be detected by the identical electrochemical signals from the two DNA probes under the settled optimum hybridization conditions.
