Deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) activity in serum has been shown to be a novel diagnostic marker for the early detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the conventional method to measure DNase I activity is time-consuming. In the current study, to develop a rapid assay method for DNase I activity for clinical purposes, a microchip electrophoresis device was used to measure DNase I activity. Because DNase I is an endonuclease that degrades double-stranded DNA endo-nucleolytically to produce oligonucleotides, degradation of the DNA standard caused by DNase I action was detected using microchip electrophoresis. We detected DNase I activity within 10 min. This is the first study to apply microchip electrophoresis for the detection of DNase I activity; furthermore, it seems plausible that reduction of analysis time for DNase I activity could make this novel assay method using microchip electrophoresis applicable in clinical use.
