Summary: Leakage of mitochondrial or nuclear DNA into the cytosol can occur following viral infections, radiation damage, and some cancers. Here, we present an optimized protocol for isolating and quantifying cytosolic DNA from mammalian cells. We describe steps for collecting cytosolic fractions from cells, extracting DNA using columns, and quantifying extracted DNA using qPCR. This straightforward protocol can be completed in as little as 5 hours, and allows for the identification of the source of DNA.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Jahun et al.1 : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics. |
