Description

Construction method of gene detection standard substance based on yeast cells and kit thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a construction method of a gene detection standard product based on yeast cells and a kit thereof, belonging to the technical field of molecular biology.
Background
In clinical genetic diagnosis, the accuracy of gene detection is very important. In the case of prenatal examinations, false positive results may falsely guide the patient to terminate normal embryos, and false negative results may lead to optimistic expectations and false diagnoses of the affected infant. In clinical practice, genetic testing often leads to the formation of the basis of a diagnosis and treatment plan. More and more people utilize genetic detection to obtain the susceptibility probability of individuals in the population, so that effective disease prevention measures are taken, including intervention diagnosis and treatment means, life style change and the like.
To ensure the reliability and accuracy of the genetic test results, each experiment must be provided with genetic reference materials as positive and negative controls.
The genetic detection standards which are commonly used at present are as follows:
a patient sample;
tumor tissue samples (surgically excised/punctured tissue, formalin fixed/paraffin embedded/frozen sections/fresh samples, etc.) blood samples (circulating tumor cells, free tumor cell genomes);
a cell line comprising a genetic mutation;
immortalized cell lines of various genetic diseases, tumors, and the like;
genetic modification of cells (integration insertion, site-directed mutagenesis, gene knockout);
knock-in of genes in other cellular backgrounds;
plasmid sample & PCR product: recombinant plasmid or PCR product containing mutation site and nearby sequence;
synthesizing a DNA sample;
each of the above types of genetic test standards has its own advantages and limitations. For example, clinical patient samples have the defects of inconvenient sample acquisition, precious samples, poor uniformity, incapability of preparing a large amount of standard products and the like; the acquired genetic disease cell line is usually immortalized by the cells of a patient, and the genetic characteristics of the immortalized cell line are difficult to maintain for a long time; the cell line containing the tumor mutation is difficult and unstable to construct, the construction process of the cell line containing the genetic mutation is complicated, a complex screening process is required, the cell line is expensive, and the requirement on culture conditions is high; plasmid samples are simple and rapid to construct, but the copy number of plasmids in a system is high, and great errors and pollution are caused when genomic DNA is diluted and simulated and standard products with lower mutation percentage are mixed.
Therefore, constructing a new gene detection standard system is a problem to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the drawings. These embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and structural, methodological, or functional changes made by those skilled in the art according to these embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.
Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art.
Materials, reagents and the like used in the following examples are commercially available unless otherwise specified. The examples do not show the specific techniques or conditions, and the techniques or conditions are described in the literature in the art (for example, refer to J. SammBruk et al, molecular cloning, A laboratory Manual, third edition, science Press, translated by Huang Petang et al) or according to the product instructions.
In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inventors provide a method for constructing a yeast cell-based gene detection standard, which comprises inserting a target gene sequence to be detected into the genome of a yeast cell by homologous recombination to obtain a recombinant yeast cell containing the target gene sequence; the recombinant yeast cells are used as a positive control standard in the detection of the target gene.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the inventors originally used yeast cells as genetic background for the first time, and integrated the target gene (human cell mutant gene) to be detected into the genome of yeast cells by homologous recombination, so that the obtained recombinant yeast cells can be used as a positive control standard in the detection of the target gene.
Although yeast cells are widely used in the field of molecular biology, yeast cells have never been used as a vector for constructing a standard for genetic testing, particularly in the field of subdivision of genetic diagnosis.
In addition to the direct use of clinical patient samples, some standard construction methods are disclosed in the prior art, but the process of constructing a cell line containing genetic mutation is very complicated, the possibility of heterozygous mutation exists due to the double-copy property of human genome, the plasmid copy number in the system is high although the plasmid construction standard is simple and rapid, and errors and pollution are easily caused when diluting and simulating genomic DNA and mixing the standard with lower mutation percentage.
The inventor has found through a great deal of research that, surprisingly, the yeast cell is very suitable to be used as a standard product carrier for genetic detection, the haploid yeast cell can directly obtain homozygous mutant individuals after gene recombination, and particularly, the haploid wild type yeast cell and the recombined yeast cell introduced with target genes can obtain a standard product with accurate proportion by counting after being mixed in different proportions; yeast cells are stored in hypertonic solution after being protoplasted, have the similar form without cell walls as a standard substance taking human cells as background, can be prepared into forms of genome DNA, cell suspension, FFPE blocks, slices, cell smears and the like, and meet the actual requirements of various standard substance forms.
Moreover, the yeast cell can accommodate exogenous DNA with larger segment, and the operation of gene recombination is more convenient; in addition, the culture process of the yeast cells and the DNA extraction process are simple and easy to implement.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the construction method comprises at least a step of constructing a template for homologous recombination, and a step of transforming the yeast cell with the template for homologous recombination; the homologous recombination template comprises an upstream homologous repair arm and a downstream homologous repair arm, and the target gene sequence is positioned between the upstream homologous repair arm and the downstream homologous repair arm; the upstream and downstream homology repair arms target an auxotrophic marker gene of the yeast cell.
The "auxotrophic marker gene for yeast cells" is explained as follows: after certain genes in the yeast genome are disrupted, the yeast cells lose the ability to synthesize certain essential living materials, cannot grow on minimal medium, and must be supplemented with corresponding nutrients to grow normally. These genes can be used as selection markers in yeast gene manipulation. Examples of the auxotrophic marker genes for yeast cells include TRP1, Leu2, His3 (synthesis-deficient marker genes for tryptophan, leucine, and histidine, respectively), URA3 (uracil synthesis-deficient marker gene), and SUP4 (ochre mutation suppressor gene).
In a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, the construction method further comprises the step of constructing a gene editing plasmid targeting an auxotrophic marker gene of the yeast cell based on a gene editing system; and transforming the yeast cell with the homologous recombination template and the gene editing plasmid to obtain a recombinant yeast cell in which the target gene sequence is inserted into an auxotrophic marker gene of the yeast cell.
"Gene editing" refers to "editing" a target gene to knock out or add a specific DNA fragment. As for the selection of tools/systems for gene editing, there are Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator effector nucleases (TALENs), and the like, in addition to the currently hot CRISPR/Cas system. Both ZFNs and TALENs cleave target genes by forming dimers from the DNA binding domain and fokl cleavage domain of the protein. However, both gene editing tools are less efficient than the CRISPR/Cas system. The CRISPR/Cas system only needs to design RNA complementary to the target gene sequence and introduce the gene encoding Cas9 protein into the host cell. The CRISPR/Cas system identifies the target sequence in the process of base pairing of RNA and DNA, so that the identification of the target gene sequence is more accurate, and the identification sites are diversified, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of gene operation.
In this scheme, when transforming yeast cells, the constructed gene editing plasmid targets the auxotrophic marker gene of the yeast cell and breaks its DNA double strand, which can greatly improve the efficiency of homologous recombination.
In a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the step of constructing a gene editing plasmid targeting an auxotrophic marker gene of the yeast cell based on a gene editing system: the gene editing system is a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system, the yeast cell is Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the auxotroph marker gene is URA3 gene; wherein, the gene editing plasmid targets the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3 and makes the site of DNA double strand break as editing site;
in the step of constructing a homologous recombination template: firstly, constructing a homologous recombination vector based on a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system, wherein the homologous recombination vector contains an upstream homologous repair arm and a downstream homologous repair arm which target the editing sites; then the target gene sequence is connected into the homologous recombination vector by a molecular cloning method of restriction enzyme cutting and is positioned between the upstream homologous repair arm and the downstream homologous repair arm; finally, obtaining a linearized homologous recombination template containing the upstream homologous repair arm, the target gene sequence and the downstream homologous repair arm by a restriction enzyme cutting method;
transforming the obtained gene editing plasmid and the linearized homologous recombination template into a saccharomyces cerevisiae cell to obtain a recombinant saccharomyces cerevisiae cell in which the target gene sequence is inserted in the URA3 gene;
the step of constructing the gene editing plasmid and the step of constructing the homologous recombination template are independently completed, and are not in sequence.
In the above embodiments, a readily available and easily manipulated s.cerevisiae cell was selected and targeted to the "s.cerevisiae gene URA 3", wherein URA3 is the gene encoding orotidine-5 phosphate decarboxylase, which is a key enzyme in the synthesis of yeast RNA pyrimidine nucleotides. If orotidine-5 phosphate decarboxylase is inactivated, the yeast cannot grow and shows uridine or uracil auxotrophy and 5-FOA acid-resistant phenotype. Therefore, URA3 gene is widely used as a nutritional deficiency screening marker in yeast molecular genetics research. The yeast can grow normally as long as the medium is supplemented with uridine or uracil; knocking out the URA3 gene and inserting an exogenous fragment into it did not affect the normal growth of yeast, therefore, the inventors selected URA3 gene as a safe site for insertion of exogenous sequences.
Regarding the gene recombination of yeast cells, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system is adopted in the specific embodiment of the present invention, and particularly, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system can efficiently mediate site-specific DNA double strand breaks, usually activates the repair of non-homologous end joining mechanism (NHEJ) in cells, and then introduces non-purposeful insertion, deletion and other mutations, which is widely used for gene knockout. The double-stranded DNA break can also be repaired by a homologous recombination mechanism, and when a single-stranded or double-stranded recombination template is introduced, a target sequence can be specifically inserted.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step of constructing a gene editing plasmid, a gRNA targeting the saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3 is ligated to a yeast-escherichia coli shuttle-type vector by a molecular cloning method of restriction enzyme cleavage to obtain the gene editing plasmid; the sequence of the gRNA of the targeting saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3 is shown in SEQ ID No. 1.
Regarding the design of the gRNA sequence of the targeting saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3, the inventor designs a plurality of sequences possibly suitable for the gRNA of the targeting saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3 based on http:// crispr.dbcls.jp/website, and sequentially anneals the sequences to a yeast-escherichia coli shuttle vector, then transforms the successfully constructed plasmid into a yeast cell, and verifies the editing efficiency of the plasmid by sequencing a single clone; through a large number of verification tests, the inventor finds that the editing efficiency is highest when the sequence of the gRNA of the targeting saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3 is shown as SEQ ID No. 1.
In a more preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the step of constructing a gene editing plasmid, the sequences of a primer pair for amplifying the gRNA are shown as SEQ ID nos. 2 and 3; the yeast-escherichia coli shuttle type vector is a p425-Sap-TEF1p-Cas9-CYC1t-2xSap vector; connecting a p425-Sap-TEF1p-Cas9-CYC1t-2xSap vector subjected to SapI enzyme digestion with the gRNA, transforming the obtained connection product into escherichia coli, selecting the identified positive clone for amplification culture, and obtaining the gene editing plasmid through plasmid extraction and purification operations.
In another more preferred embodiment of the present invention, in said step of constructing a homologous recombination template, said upstream homologous repair arm is designed based on an upstream sequence at positions 351-373 in the URA3 gene sequence shown in SEQ ID No.4, and said downstream homologous repair arm is designed based on a downstream sequence at positions 351-373 in the URA3 gene sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 4.
Specifically, when the sequence of the gRNA of the targeted Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3 is shown as SEQ ID No.1, DNA double strand breaks occur randomly at positions 351-373 of the URA3 gene of the yeast cell after being connected to a yeast-Escherichia coli shuttle-type vector and transformed into the yeast cell; thus, the inventors designed the upstream homology-repair arm based on the sequence upstream of positions 351-373 in the URA3 gene sequence shown in SEQ ID No.4, and designed the downstream homology-repair arm based on the sequence downstream of positions 351-373 in the URA3 gene sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 4.
More preferably, through the design and experimental verification of the inventor, the sequence of the upstream homology repair arm is shown as SEQ ID No. 5; the sequence of the downstream homology repair arm is shown as SEQ ID No. 6.
More preferably, in the step of constructing the homologous recombination template, the upstream homologous repair arm and the downstream homologous repair arm are first ligated to the EcoRV and NotI cleavage sites of the multiple cloning site region of the pBluescript vector, respectively, by a molecular cloning method of restriction enzyme cleavage; connecting the target gene sequence to any enzyme cutting site between the EcoRV enzyme cutting sites and the NotI enzyme cutting sites by a molecular cloning method of restriction enzyme cutting; finally, obtaining a linearized homologous recombination template containing the upstream homologous repair arm, the target gene sequence and the downstream homologous repair arm by a restriction enzyme cutting method; wherein, the sequences of the primer pair for amplifying the upstream homologous repair arm are shown as SEQ ID No.7 and SEQ ID No. 8; the sequences of the primer pairs for amplifying the downstream homology repair arms are shown as SEQ ID No.9 and SEQ ID No. 10.
Finally, regarding the obtaining of the target gene sequence to be inserted, the target gene sequence is amplified (for example, a DNA sequence containing the mutant gene to be detected is determined by amplification or a DNA sequence containing the mutant gene to be detected is obtained by amplification site-directed mutagenesis PCR).
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in said transformation step, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae W303-1A cells are transformed using the lithium acetate method.
In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the inventors further provide a kit for constructing a gene detection standard, the kit comprising: the gene editing plasmid is constructed based on a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system and is targeted to Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3, the homologous recombination vector is constructed based on a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system and is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell line, wherein the gene editing plasmid is targeted to Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene URA3, a site of DNA double strand break of the gene editing plasmid is an editing site, and the homologous recombination vector contains an upstream homologous repair arm and a downstream homologous repair arm which are targeted to the editing site.
