| Povzetek: | Background: Since the discovery more than half a century ago, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has become an attractive objective in multiple diagnostic, prognostic, and monitoring settings. However, despite the increasing number of cfDNA applications in liquid biopsies, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the nature of cfDNA including optimal assessment. In the presented study, we continued testing and validation of common techniques for cfDNA extraction and quantification (qRTPCR or droplet digital PCR) of nuclear- and mitochondrial cfDNA (ncfDNA and mtcfDNA) in blood, using a piglet model of perinatal asphyxia to determine potential temporal and quantitative changes at the levels of cfDNA. Methods and Results: Newborn piglets (n=19) were either exposed to hypoxia (n=11) or were part of the sham-operated control group (n=8). Blood samples were collected at baseline (=start) and at the end of hypoxia or at 40–45 min for the sham-operated control group. Applying the qRT-PCR method, ncfDNA concentrations in piglets exposed to hypoxia revealed an increasing trend from 7.1 ng/ml to 9.5 ng/ml for HK2 (hexokinase 2) and from 4.6 ng/ml to 7.9 ng/ml for β-globulin, respectively, whereas the control animals showed a more balanced profile. Furthermore, median levels of mtcfDNA were much higher in comparison to ncfDNA, but without significant differences between intervention versus the control group. Conclusions: Both, qRT-PCR and the droplet digital PCR technique identified overall similar patterns for the concentration changes of cfDNA; but, the more sensitive digital PCR methodology might be required to identify minimal responses. |
