Abstract
The invention discloses a kit for early diagnosis, detection or screening of thyroid cancer, and a use method and application thereof. The kit comprises specific primers and probes for detecting or measuring the methylation state or level of one or more specific genes in the DNA of a test sample, wherein the specific genes are BNC1 and ACTB. The kit can obviously improve the positive detection rate and specificity (real negative rate) of early thyroid cancer, can improve the detection sensitivity of the biomarker to DNA molecules of picogram/nanogram grade, and is realized by optimizing specific nucleotide sequence primers and DNA probes and improving a bisulfite treatment method of plasma free DNA.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biotechnology and DNA detection, and particularly relates to a DNA methylation qPCR kit for thyroid cancer detection, and a using method and application thereof, in particular to a kit for determining the methylation state of a target gene target (such as BNC1 and NR2F1) by using plasma free DNA for thyroid cancer detection or screening, and a using method thereof, and further relates to application of the detection kit in biomedicine.
Background
The incidence of thyroid cancer is the first of endocrine tumors and is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck. The latest national cancer report in 2018 indicates that thyroid cancer mainly appears in female population, the incidence of thyroid cancer of female in developed countries ranks 7 th, and the incidence of thyroid cancer of female in developing countries ranks 9 th. The incidence rate of thyroid cancer in eastern areas of China is far higher than that in middle and western areas, and the incidence rate of female is far higher than that of male. Thyroid cancer is the most prominent type of cancer in the female population under the age of 30. In recent years, the incidence rate of thyroid cancer in China is obviously increased, but the death rate is relatively stable at a lower level, and other countries also find similar trends, which may be related to over-diagnosis of thyroid cancer. The incidence rate of thyroid cancer in China is different in regions, which is probably caused by different screening rates of thyroid cancer in different regions.
Thyroid nodules refer to sporadic lesions caused by local abnormal growth of thyroid cells. Cervical ultrasound is the primary method of examination for initial cancer risk stratification of thyroid nodules, followed by a decision as to whether to take a Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) of a suspicious nodule. However, in some cases, it is difficult for about 20% to 40% of preoperative biopsies to distinguish benign thyroid nodules from thyroid cancer due to the cytological feature overlap between malignant and benign thyroid nodules. In addition, laboratory serological examinations (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroglobulin (Tg) and calcitonin (Ct)) are also currently common methods for clinically identifying benign and malignant nodules, but are less specific due to their higher content in thyroid non-tumor diseases. Reports indicate that uncertainty in TC diagnosis results in up to 50,000 patients receiving unnecessary thyroidectomies each year in the united states alone. Therefore, the supplement and perfection of the conventional TC patient diagnosis method remains a problem to be solved urgently.
ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) released by tumor cell necrosis and apoptosis can be detected in peripheral blood of tumor patients, and due to the fact that ctDNA methylation is carried with molecular genetic changes consistent with primary tumor tissues, tumors can be diagnosed theoretically by using ctDNA methylation.
Disclosure of Invention
Based on the above data, we have found better methylated gene targets for early thyroid cancer screening through more extensive and intensive research, and have designed several sets of primer and probe combinations for methylation detection of these targets, and have made the detection and screening of early thyroid cancer and the kit for identifying benign and malignant thyroid nodules by using the newly found gene target detection combinations.

The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Before the present embodiments are further described, it is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not limited to the particular embodiments described below; it is also to be understood that the terminology used in the examples is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Materials, reagents and the like used in the following examples are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
Definition of
The terms "patient," "individual," or "subject" are used interchangeably herein and may refer to a mammal, particularly a human. The subject may have mild, moderate or severe disease. The patient may be untreated, susceptible to treatment, or refractory. The patient may be an individual in need of treatment or diagnosis based on a particular symptom or family history.
The terms "sample," "patient sample," "biological sample," and the like include various sample types obtained from a patient, individual, or subject, and can be used for diagnostic or monitoring assays. The patient sample can be obtained from a healthy subject, a diseased patient, or a patient with thyroid cancer-related symptoms. Furthermore, the sample obtained from the patient may be segmented and only a portion may be used for diagnosis. In addition, the sample or a portion thereof may be stored under conditions that maintain the sample for later analysis. Specifically included within this definition are blood and other liquid samples of biological origin (including but not limited to peripheral blood, serum, plasma, urine, saliva, sputum, stool, and synovial fluid), solid tissue samples (such as biopsy specimens or tissue cultures or cells derived therefrom and progeny thereof). The definition also includes samples that are manipulated in any manner after being obtained, such as by centrifugation, filtration, precipitation, dialysis, chromatography, reagent treatment, washing, or enrichment for certain cell populations. These terms also include clinical samples, cultured cells, cell supernatants, tissue samples, organs, and the like. The sample may also comprise freshly frozen and/or formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks, such as blocks prepared by clinical or pathological biopsy, prepared for pathological analysis or by immunohistochemistry studies.
The terms "measuring," "determining," "detecting," or "examining" are used interchangeably throughout and may refer to a method that includes obtaining a patient sample and/or detecting a biomarker methylation status or level in a patient sample. In one embodiment, these terms refer to obtaining a patient sample and detecting the methylation state or level of one or more biomarkers in the sample. In another embodiment, the terms "measuring", "determining" or "detecting" refer to detecting the methylation status or level of one or more biomarkers in a patient sample. Measurement can be accomplished by methods known in the art and further described herein, including but not limited to methylation specific quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
The term "methylation" refers to methylation of cytosine at the C5 or N4 position of cytosine, the N6 position of adenine, or other types of nucleic acid methylation. The in vitro amplified DNA is unmethylated because the in vitro DNA amplification method does not preserve the methylation pattern of the amplified template. However, "unmethylated DNA" or "methylated DNA" can also refer to amplified DNA whose original template was unmethylated or methylated, respectively.
The term "CpG island" refers to a contiguous region of genomic DNA having a high density of CpG.
The term "methylation state" or "methylation level" refers to the presence, absence, and/or amount of methylation at a particular nucleotide or nucleotide in a portion of DNA.
It should be understood that wherever the language "comprising" is used to describe an embodiment, other similar embodiments described in "consisting of …" and/or "consisting essentially of …" are also provided.
