- Аннотация: Background: The methylation of cytosine residues at CpG sites within the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter is a key biomarker in glioblastoma therapy. The MGMT promoter (MGMTp) contains multiple guanine-rich sequences capable of folding into G-quadruplexes (G4s), but their relevance for MGMTp methylation is poorly understood. Objectives: Our study explores the impact of potential G-quadruplex-forming sequences (PQS) in the MGMT promoter CpG island on the activity of de novo DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a. Additionally, we investigate their influence on the accuracy of methylation pattern detection using nanopore sequencing. Methods: Nanopore sequencing was employed to analyze the methylation of 94 clinically significant CpG sites in the human MGMTp using an in vitro de novo methylation system. Circular dichroism spectroscopy was used to identify G4 structures within the MGMTp CpG island. Interactions between the catalytic domain of Dnmt3a and the PQS from the MGMTp were examined by biolayer interferometry. Results: Guanine-rich DNA strands of the PQSs in the MGMTp were hypomethylated, while the complementary cytosine-rich strands were methylated by DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3a with higher efficiency. The accuracy of detecting modified bases in the PQS was significantly lower compared to surrounding sequences. Single-stranded guanine-rich DNA sequences from the MGMTp exhibited strong binding to Dnmt3a-CD, with an affinity approximately 10 times higher than their cytosine-rich complements (Kd = 3 × 10−8 M and 3 × 10−7 M, respectively). By binding to Dnmt3a, G4-forming oligonucleotides from MGMTp effectively inhibited the methylation reaction (IC50 6·10−7 M). Conclusions: The obtained data indicate the role of PQSs in establishing de novo methylation of the MGMT promoter. They also highlight the challenges of sequencing guanine-rich regions and the impact of specific de novo methylation patterns on clinical data interpretation.
