Description

Triple helix DNA molecular switch probe and application thereof in OTA colorimetric rapid detection
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of rapid detection of mycotoxins, and particularly relates to design and assembly of a triple helix DNA molecular switch probe and application of the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe in colorimetric rapid detection of ochratoxin A (OTA).
Background
Ochratoxin a (OTA) is a secondary metabolite produced by toxic fungi such as aspergillus and penicillium. Studies show that OTA has nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity, can cause DNA damage and inhibit synthesis of RNA and protein, has teratogenic, carcinogenic and mutagenic effects, and is listed as a 2B-type carcinogen by the cancer research of the world health organization. Agricultural products are easily contaminated with ochratoxins during harvesting, storage, transportation and processing, and the agricultural products (foods) which are easily contaminated include cereals, beans, nuts, spices, coffee beans, cocoa, wine, beer and the like. In 2013, in one domestic investigation, the OTA detection rate in 77 parts of red wine is up to 57%, and the highest value is 5.65 mug/kg. In 2010, a study of the national academy of medical science shows that 30 of 57 Chinese medicinal materials detected OTA. In 2019, hajok et al detected 473 food samples available in the Bond Cyriluya market, and the results showed that 22% of the samples were contaminated with OTA, with the highest OTA content in raisins reaching 34.0 μg/kg, exceeding 3.5 times. The researches show that the OTA has high toxicity, wide distribution and easy high incidence, so that the establishment of a simple, quick, low-cost and high-sensitivity detection method is one of effective technical means for realizing the monitoring of OTA pollution so as to reduce the influence of OTA on human and animal health to the greatest extent. At present, the conventional detection method of the OTA is a high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence/mass spectrometry detection method, and has the characteristics of high sensitivity and good reproducibility. However, these methods rely on expensive analytical testing equipment and skilled technicians, which are disadvantageous for point-of-care testing (POCT) of large amounts of samples, limiting their application and popularization. Antibody-based immunoassays, such as: the ELISA method and the immune test strip have high detection flux and high speed, are also commonly applied to detection of OTA, but the OTA has low immunogenicity, and the antibody is difficult, time-consuming and expensive to develop and is easy to generate false positive. Therefore, development of a rapid, sensitive, easy to operate, and low-cost OTA detection method is still urgent.
DNA has long been considered as a substance for storing and transmitting vital genetic information and has been studied extensively. However, from a materials perspective, DNA can be found to have a number of unique physical, chemical properties, including sequence-editable, molecular recognition, binding, and catalytic chemical reactions, as compared to other synthetic polymers. In addition to the well-known classical double helix structure, DNA can fold to form various structures by intramolecular hydrogen bonding, base stacking, electrostatic interactions, metal ion complexation, etc., such as: specific three-dimensional structures such as a DNA triple helix (triple helix), a G-quadruplex (G-quadruplex), and an aptamer (aptamer). The structure of a substance determines its properties. After the DNA forms a specific structure, the DNA can show unique properties and has the functions of recognition, combination, catalysis and the like. For example, a G-quadruplex structure formed from a particular G-rich base sequence may combine with hemin (hemin) to form a DNAzyme having peroxidase-like activity. The peroxidase activity of the DNase can be used for catalyzing, generating and amplifying detection signals, and improving the detection sensitivity. While DNA aptamers can form stable structures, and can specifically recognize and bind to a target in a similar manner to antibodies. DNA aptamers offer some distinct advantages over antibodies, such as: good chemical stability, low production cost, small batch-to-batch difference and the like.
In recent years, with the development of various nano materials and DNA amplification technologies, researchers amplify detection signals by utilizing DNase and an aptamer and combining the DNA amplification technology and the nano materials, thereby providing a new method for rapid and sensitive detection of OTA. However, the preparation, modification and labeling and amplification of DNA of the nanomaterial make the detection operation steps complicated and complicated, raise the cost, and reduce the practicality.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the problems, the invention designs a novel G-quadruplex structure forming sequence to improve the peroxidase activity of DNase, designs an aptamer sequence, assembles to form a triple helix DNA molecular switch probe, and develops a sensitive and rapid colorimetric detection technology of OTA. The technology does not need to amplify detection signals by using DNA amplification or nano materials, so that the used DNA chains do not need to be marked, the detection process does not need steps of separation, cleaning and the like, the detection steps are greatly simplified while the detection sensitivity is maintained, the detection cost is low, and the technology has good application prospect.
The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows:
1. three-helix DNA molecular switch probe
The triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe is mainly formed by hybridization and assembly of a DNA strand GP27 capable of improving the peroxidase activity of G-quad-hemin and a DNA strand AP9 containing an ochratoxin A (OTA) aptamer sequence.
The DNA chain GP27 capable of improving the peroxidase activity of the G-quad-hemi is rich in G bases, and forms a parallel G-quad (G-quad) structure, wherein the base sequence is as follows: 5'-GGTGGTGGTGGTTGTGGAGGAGGAGGA-3', SEQ ID No.1. The 3' -end of the DNA strand GP27 is provided with an adenine base A, and the A base greatly enhances the peroxidase activity of G-quad-hemin, so that the detection signal is amplified without using DNA amplification or nano materials to amplify the detection signal, therefore, the used DNA strand does not need labeling, the detection process does not have steps of separation, cleaning and the like, and the detection step is greatly simplified while the detection sensitivity is maintained.
The DNA strand AP9 containing the OTA aptamer sequence has 36 base sequences in the middle, wherein the 36 base sequences can be selectively identified and combined with OTA, the sequences of the arm ends at the front end and the rear end are all sequences consisting of 6 cytosine C bases and 3 thymine T bases, and the base sequences are as follows: 5'-TCCTCCTCCGATCGGGTGTGGGTGGCGTAAAGGGAGCATCGGACACCT CCTCCT-3', SEQ ID No.2.
The triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe has a stem-loop structure, and is formed by assembling a TCCTCCTCC base sequence at the front arm end of a DNA strand AP9 and a CCTCCTCCT base sequence at the rear arm end of the DNA strand AP9 with a AGGAGGAGG base sequence, close to the 3' end, of a DNA strand GP27 through Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base pairing; the assembled triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe has a stem-loop structure, 36 base sequences GATCGGGTGTGGGTGGCGTAAAGGGAGCATCGGACA in the middle of a DNA strand AP9 form a loop part of the triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe and are used for identifying and combining an object to be detected OTA, TCCTCCTCC base sequences at the front arm end of the DNA strand AP9 and CCTCCTCCT base sequences at the rear arm end of the DNA strand AP9 are respectively matched with AGGAGGAGG base sequences near the 3' end of a DNA strand GP27 through Watson-Crick and Hoogsteen base pairing to form a stem part of the triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe, and the DNA strand GP27 is locked.
Too short or too long an arm end sequence will reduce the sensitivity of the detection. When the arm end sequence is too short, the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe is unstable and easy to unwind, and the DNA strand GP27 is released, so that a higher background signal is generated, and the signal to noise ratio is reduced; when the arm end sequence is overlong, the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe is too stable, the object to be detected OTA is difficult to combine with the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe, the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe is difficult to open, and a detection signal is difficult to generate even impossible.
2. Preparation method of triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe
The method specifically comprises the following steps:
mixing the DNA strand GP27 and the DNA strand AP9 in PBS buffer solution with pH of 6.2, hybridizing for 30 min at normal temperature, assembling to obtain the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe for detecting the target object OTA, and preserving at normal temperature.
The ratio of the amounts of the substances of the DNA strand AP9 to the DNA strand GP27 is equal to 1.8:1. In principle, when the concentration ratio of the DNA strand AP9 to the DNA strand GP27 is 1:1, the three-helix DNA molecular switch probe is just assembled, and the DNA strand GP27 is completely locked. However, the assembly of the DNA strand AP9 and the DNA strand GP27 into the triple helix DNA molecular switch probe is a reversible chemical reaction, and analysis from the chemical reaction balance principle point of view, the increase of the quantity of the DNA strand AP9 is beneficial to promoting the combination and assembly of the DNA strand AP9 and the DNA strand GP27, so that the DNA strand GP27 is more completely combined, the free DNA strand GP27 is reduced, thereby reducing the background signal, further improving the signal to noise ratio when the probe detects the object to be detected, and generating higher sensitivity.
3. OTA rapid detection method based on triple-helix DNA molecular switch probe

The higher the OTA content in the sample, the darker the green color of the detection reaction solution, and the accurate quantification can be realized by measuring the absorbance value of the detection reaction solution at 418nm by using an enzyme-labeled instrument or an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Along with the increase of the concentration of the object to be detected OTA, the color of the detection reaction solution is gradually changed from light green to dark green, so that a colorimetric signal visible to naked eyes is generated to rapidly detect OTA. The detection of the target object OTA to be detected is completed within 60 minutes, and the detection speed is faster than that of the existing national standard method liquid chromatography and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
