Description

Method and reagent for separating and/or enriching host source nucleic acid and pathogenic nucleic acid and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nucleic acid separation and enrichment, in particular to a method and a reagent for separating and/or enriching host source nucleic acid and pathogenic nucleic acid and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In recent years, DNA sequencing technology has made a major breakthrough in sequencing speed, throughput, and cost. Therefore, the gene sequencing technology has been widely applied to the field of medical health detection, including embryo implantation screening, prenatal examination, cancer screening, detection and prevention and control of infectious diseases, and the like. Among them, the presence and continued evolution of infectious agents further make the use of second generation sequencing to detect infectious diseases a very valuable and growing area of interest to more and more researchers.
At present, detection of species, abundance and functional characteristics of each component in a pathogenic microorganism population can be realized by utilizing gene sequencing and analysis technology, so that the correlation between people and pathogenic microorganisms is researched. However, these studies have been limited to complex components of the sample, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, and excessive amounts of host human nucleic acids. Amplicon sequencing (e.g., 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing) in combination with PCR and sequencing techniques can allow for rapid, high-resolution detection of pathogenic nucleic acids in complex samples. Such amplicon sequencing can provide great advantages in terms of sequencing coverage as well as depth, but amplicon sequencing does not allow for research on whole epidemiology and identification of pathogenicity.
With respect to the limitations of amplicon sequencing, meta sequencing has been widely used in the detection of pathogenic viruses and pathogenic microorganisms to discover new pathogens and to genotype pathogens. Meta sequencing, in combination with corresponding rapid detection techniques, can also better reveal the transmission pathways of the causative agent, help in disease control, prevent infection outbreaks, etc. The use of blood as a sample for Meta sequencing to identify pathogenic nucleic acids in blood has been the mainstay of research in Meta sequencing. However, since there is an excessive amount of human nucleic acid in blood, of which only about 1% of pathogenic nucleic acids are present, it is difficult to detect pathogenic nucleic acids present in the excessive amount of human nucleic acid using conventional sequencing methods, and it is more difficult to give diagnostic guidelines such as drug resistance and infectivity for the corresponding conditions. Meanwhile, detection of pathogenic nucleic acids at low frequencies using conventional methods requires a high sequencing depth, which clearly increases the sequencing cost. Therefore, the choice of sample processing methods prior to blood Meta sequencing has been one of the key points of Meta sequencing technology.
Traditional methods for enriching pathogenic nucleic acids fall into two main categories. The first is to perform nucleic acid separation according to different methylation sites of human and pathogenic nucleic acids to enrich pathogenic nucleic acids, but separation principle based on methylation state limits the kinds of pathogenic nucleic acids that can be enriched. The second type of enrichment method is a ribonuclease-based human nucleic acid depletion method. The method can be suitable for enriching pathogenic nucleic acid such as virus, fungus, parasite and the like. However, enrichment of nucleic acids in bacteria by the human nucleic acid consumption method cannot be used to study the interaction mechanism of bacteria and their host cells due to the inconsistency of the composition and content of transcripts of bacteria and their host cells.
Methods for enriching pathogenic nucleic acids have been commercialized and mainly classified into the following categories. First was the NEB next generation microbial DNA concentration kit (NEBNext Microbiome DNA Enrichment kit) by Neon England Biotechnology (New England Biolabs) in the United states. The kit is designed according to the fact that the human nucleic acid contains more methylation sites, and the difference between the methylation sites of the human nucleic acid and the pathogenic nucleic acid is utilized. Fusion proteins prepared using the methylation site binding protein MBD2 and human immunoglobulin specifically remove human nucleic acids from a sample. Another type of kit is based on the principle that enrichment of pathogenic nucleic acids is achieved by means of the removal of human nucleic acids. Such commercial kits include MolYIs from Molzym, QIAamp DNA microbiome Kit (QIAamp DNA Microbiome Kit) from Qiagen, and microbiome enrichment Kit (MICROBEnrich Kit) from Simer Feichi technologies (Thermo Fisher Scientific). MolYIs and QIAamp DNA microbiome kit (QIAamp DNA Microbiome Kit) is mainly used for removing human DNA, the main principle of which is to selectively lyse human cells and remove human DNA by DNase. Microbiome enrichment Kit (MICROBEnrich Kit) is mainly used for removing human RNA, and its main principle is divided into two categories. The first type is to selectively lyse human cells and separate microorganisms such as bacteria and human RNA by centrifugation; the second is to lyse human and pathogenic cells at the same time, and then to adsorb 18S, 28S rRNA and mRNA in the human RNA by using magnetic beads with oligonucleotide chains to remove the human RNA. In recent years, other non-commercial methods have been developed during the course of research. In 2016, MR Hasan et al utilized low concentrations of non-ionic surfactant saponin to selectively lyse human cells and utilized Turbo DNase (Turbo DNase) to remove human DNA.
Drawbacks of the prior art include:
(1) The separation principle of NEB next generation microorganism DNA concentration kit (NEBNext Microbiome DNA Enrichment kit) is based on the difference between human source and pathogen methylation sites, so the method can not realize the enrichment of unknown pathogen.
(2) Protocols that utilize prior lysis of human cells to remove human nucleic acids such as MolYsis, QIAamp DNA microbiome Kit (QIAamp DNA Microbiome Kit) and microbiome enrichment Kit (microbench Kit) lose free pathogenic DNA or RNA present in the sample during removal of human nucleic acids with DNase or RNase. In addition, the sample may be lost during centrifugation or the like. Meanwhile, molYsis show a relatively large difference for different sample types. For the treatment of cerebrospinal fluid samples, the pathogenic nucleic acid is greatly reduced while the human nucleic acid is greatly reduced. For sample treatment of nasopharyngeal respiratory tract substances, the effect of removing the human DNA is not obvious, and a large amount of pathogenic RNA is lost while the human RNA is removed.
(3) In a scheme for removing human RNA by simultaneously lysing both human and pathogenic cells and adsorbing 18S, 28S rRNA and mRNA in human RNA using magnetic beads with oligonucleotide chains, this scheme is only applied to enrich for pathogenic RNA, since the isolation is mainly based on the specificity of human ribosomal RNA and mRNA.
(4) The need to use modified DNase in the low concentration of non-ionic surfactant saponin solution may complicate the process or increase the cost. In addition, this scheme is applied only to analog samples, and processing of real samples has not been achieved yet.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method for isolating and/or enriching host-derived nucleic acids and pathogenic nucleic acids. In the present invention, "isolating" means that the host nucleic acid and the pathogenic nucleic acid are separated to some extent, and may be separated entirely (for example, 100%) or partially (for example, in unequal proportions of 10% to 90%). By "enriching" is meant increasing the absolute or relative amount, e.g. absolute or relative concentration, etc., of at least one of the host source nucleic acid and the pathogenic nucleic acid.
In the present invention, the term "host-derived nucleic acid" refers to any nucleic acid of various sources such as host cells, host tissues or host individuals, which are parasitized or infected by a pathogen, including but not limited to animal-derived nucleic acids and plant-derived nucleic acids, etc., especially animal-derived nucleic acids, especially mammalian-derived nucleic acids, most typically human-derived nucleic acids. Such nucleic acids may be DNA or RNA, etc.
In the present invention, by "pathogenic nucleic acid" is meant a pathogenic microorganism that infects or infects any host cell, host tissue, or host individual, etc., including, but not limited to, bacteria, fungi, etc.
In one embodiment the invention provides a method for isolating and/or enriching host-derived nucleic acids and pathogenic nucleic acids, comprising the steps of: mixing and incubating the host source probe immobilized on the solid phase carrier with a liquid sample containing host source nucleic acid and pathogenic nucleic acid, so that the host source probe hybridizes with the host source nucleic acid; performing solid-liquid separation to obtain host-derived nucleic acid bound to the solid support and pathogenic nucleic acid retained in the liquid sample.
In embodiments of the invention, the host-derived probe is a probe that hybridizes to a host-derived nucleic acid, typically a human-derived probe that hybridizes to a human-derived nucleic acid. In a preferred embodiment, the human probe in the embodiment of the present invention is a DNA nanosphere, a fragmented genomic sequence amplification product or a fragmented genomic sequence prepared from human genomic DNA as a raw material. The amplified products of the fragmented genome sequence and the fragmented genome sequence are provided with biotin marks, and the solid phase carrier is provided with streptavidin marks.
In embodiments of the present invention, the host-derived probes have a degree of general property in that, for nucleic acids of the same host origin, host-derived nucleic acids (e.g., human-derived nucleic acids) of different host individuals (e.g., different humans) can be hybridized using the same host-derived probe (e.g., human-derived probe) prepared in advance. The prepared host source probe may be stored under appropriate conditions for a certain period of time, for example, may be stored at 4℃for 1 month, and used during that period.
In embodiments of the invention, host-derived probes, e.g., human-derived probes, may be prepared by any suitable method using human-derived nucleic acids, e.g., human genomic DNA. For example, the human genome DNA is physically or enzymatically broken to obtain fragmented genome DNA, and then the fragmented genome DNA is specifically marked (e.g. biotin marked) to be fixed on the surface of a solid carrier, or the fragmented genome DNA is cyclized and rolling circle amplified to obtain DNA Nanospheres (DNB) to be loaded on the surface of the solid carrier (e.g. chip) to realize the probe fixation.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the case of disrupting genomic DNA using a transposase, the transposase forms a transposable complex with transposons (A transposon and B transposon), and a double transposon transposable complex containing both the A transposon and the B transposon is shown in FIG. 1. In other embodiments, the transposable complex may be a Shan Zhuai transposon transposable complex containing only one transposon (either the a transposon or the B transposon).
In the case where it is desired to label the fragmented genomic DNA with a label such as biotin label, this can be achieved in various ways. One way is to interrupt the genomic DNA using the biotin-labeled transposon complex of FIG. 1 (2), in which the biotin-labeled A transposon and the biotin-labeled B transposon form a transposase complex together, and to add a transposon sequence with a biotin label at both ends of the fragmented genomic DNA while interrupting the genomic DNA, and to effect probe immobilization by binding to streptavidin on a solid support.
In the embodiment of the invention, the human source nucleic acid is used as host source nucleic acid, and the human source probe is used as host source probe, so that the following three methods for separating and/or enriching the host source nucleic acid and the pathogenic nucleic acid are provided.
The method comprises the following steps: the method for enriching pathogenic nucleic acid based on human probe (DNA nanospheres) has the following principle and characteristics:
the DNA nanospheres fixed on the silicon-based chip are used as human probes to hybridized and adsorb human nucleic acid in the sample to be detected, and enrichment of pathogenic nucleic acid in the sample is realized through solid-liquid separation. The preparation method of the DNA nanosphere humanized probe fixed on the silicon-based chip is shown in figure 2:
Firstly, taking human genome DNA as a raw material, and obtaining a product of fragmented human genome DNA with specific linkers at two ends by breaking with transposase and adding the linkers. A large number of amplified products can be obtained by nick translation and PCR amplification. The amplified human genome fragment can then be prepared into a single-stranded loop by denaturing the double-stranded product and adding an anchor oligonucleotide strand and a DNA ligase that match the ends of the adaptor. Hybridizing an extension primer in the joint region of the single-stranded loop, and adding phi29 polymerase to obtain a single-stranded human genome fragment linear amplification product by a rolling loop amplification mode. The obtained long single chains can form DNA nanospheres through intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Adding a DNA nanosphere loading buffer solution into the DNA nanospheres, uniformly mixing, putting into a loading system, and incubating at room temperature to load the prepared DNA nanospheres onto a chip of a silicon substrate with the tail end modified by amino groups.
And loading the sample to be treated on a probe chip, hybridizing a human probe on the chip with human nucleic acid in the sample, and separating the solid-phase chip from the liquid-phase sample to be treated to enrich pathogenic nucleic acid in the sample.
The first method has the following advantages:
(1) Human genome DNA is taken as a raw material, and after fragmentation, a probe is prepared by amplification to capture human nucleic acid in a sample, so that hybridization separation is realized without utilizing specific methylation sites or conserved regions.
(2) The proposal is applied to the capture probe for separating the human nucleic acid from the human genome DNA, can simultaneously hybridize the human DNA and RNA fragments in the sample, and realizes the simultaneous enrichment of pathogenic DNA and RNA.
(3) The probes are present in the form of DNA nanospheres and are present in a copy number of about several hundred copies (e.g., 300 copies or more, preferably 500 copies) of the fragmented human genomic DNA product, increasing the efficiency of hybridization capture of the human nucleic acid in the sample.
The second method is as follows: the principle and characteristics of the method for enriching pathogenic nucleic acid based on human probes (fragmented genome sequence amplification products) are as follows:
the amplification product of the fragmented human genome sequence fixed on the magnetic beads is used as a human probe to hybridized adsorb human nucleic acid in a sample to be detected, and enrichment of pathogenic nucleic acid in the sample is realized through solid-liquid separation. The preparation method of the human probe of the amplification product of the fragmented human genome sequence immobilized on the magnetic beads is shown in fig. 3:
firstly, taking human genome DNA as a raw material, and obtaining a product of fragmented human genome DNA with specific linkers at two ends by breaking with transposase and adding the linkers. A large number of amplified products of fragmented human genome sequences with biotin labels can be obtained by nick translation and PCR amplification using biotin-labeled primers. Adding the magnetic beads with streptavidin marks into an amplification product solution with biotin marks and fragmenting human genome sequences, stirring and incubating at room temperature to obtain the human probe with the amplification products of the fragmenting human genome sequences, wherein the human probe is fixed on the magnetic beads.
Adding the magnetic beads fixed with the human probes into a sample to be treated, hybridizing the human probes on the magnetic beads with human nucleic acids in the sample, and separating the solid-phase magnetic beads from the liquid-phase sample to be treated to enrich pathogenic nucleic acids in the sample.
The second method has the following advantages:
(1) Human genome DNA is taken as a raw material, and after fragmentation, a probe is prepared by amplification to capture human nucleic acid in a sample, so that hybridization separation is realized without utilizing specific methylation sites or conserved regions.
