Description

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma microRNA detection kit

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to a nasopharyngeal carcinoma microRNA detection kit.

Background

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs with a regulation function, and the size of the RNAs is about 20-25 nucleotides. Mature miRNAs are produced from a long primary transcript by a series of nuclease cleavage processes, then assembled into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), recognize a target miRNA by way of base-complementary pairing, and direct the silencing complex to degrade the target miRNA or repress translation of the target miRNA according to the difference in degree of complementarity. Recent studies have shown that mirnas are involved in a wide variety of regulatory pathways including development, viral defense, hematopoietic processes, organogenesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis, fat metabolism, and the like. In recent years, it has been found that abnormal expression of some mirnas is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases, such as: the abnormal expression of miRNA is closely related to the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Researchers adopt a gene chip technology, and compare 31 parts of nasopharyngeal carcinoma biopsy samples with 10 parts of normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cell samples to analyze 207 miRNAs, and the results show that 8 miRNAs with obvious expression difference are respectively: miR-29c, miR-34b, miR-34c, miR-212, miR-216, miR-217, miR-151 and miR-192, wherein in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells, miR-29c expresses 1/5 with the concentration only of normal nasopharyngeal epithelial cells. In addition, research shows that miR-17-92 and miR155 are obviously highly expressed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and miR-34 family, miR-143 and miR-145 are expressed in a down-regulated manner.

The detection method for nasopharyngeal carcinoma microRNA mainly comprises the following steps: northern Blot, gene chip, fluorescent quantitative probe method, and microsphere-based flow cytometry. However, the above method has the disadvantages of low sensitivity, long time consumption, low accuracy, large amount of RNA, high detection cost, poor repeatability, etc. Currently, the current practice is. The in situ hybridization technique overcoming the above disadvantages is a method for detecting specific microRNA sequences in preserved tissue sections or cell preparations by localization and morphology. However, in the existing in situ hybridization technology, the kit used for the multiple parallel detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma microRNA still has many problems, such as: poor stability, weak repeatability, low specificity, easy occurrence of false positive and low sensitivity.

Therefore, the development of a nasopharyngeal carcinoma microRNA detection kit which has good stability, good repeatability, high specificity, is not easy to generate false positive and has high sensitivity becomes a problem to be solved by the technical personnel in the field.

TABLE 18 cell concentration and assay samples

And (3) detection results: each sample was detected and observed using the above kit, wherein for DAPI staining of the nuclei, "-" or "+" was used to indicate whether fluorescence was detected. The sensitivity of the kit provided by the invention is evaluated by comparing the number of detected target miRNA cells with the number of detected cells. The results of the specific sample measurements are shown in Table 19 (data in the table indicate the number of cells):

TABLE 19 Effect of measurement of different cell concentrations

According to the detection results, the kit provided by the invention has high detection sensitivity on hsa-miR-17-5p, hsa-miR-20a-5p, hsa-miR-29c-3p and hsa-miR-151a-3p, and the detection results are consistent with actual conditions. Meanwhile, the kit provided by the invention is used for detecting the low-density human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell strain CNE-2Z (about 10 cells/mL), and the number of detected target miRNA cells and the number of detected cells are at least 90%, even 100%. Compared with the prior art which generally needs at least 100 cells/mL to achieve the detection effect, the sensitivity of the kit prepared by the invention is obviously higher than that of the prior art. The detection effect of the embodiment can also be realized by aiming at the detection of other different miRNAs and different combinations thereof, and the specific detection result is omitted. Therefore, the detection kit for the nasopharyngeal carcinoma related miRNA provided by the invention has high detection sensitivity.

As is clear from the above experimental contents, the combination of other mirnas provided by the present invention can also achieve the effect of the present embodiment, and the specific experimental data are omitted.

In conclusion, the nasopharyngeal carcinoma microRNA detection kit provided by the invention has the advantages of good stability, good repeatability, high specificity, difficulty in occurrence of false positive and high sensitivity.

The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and decorations can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and decorations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
