Description

RNA probe for detecting 2019-nCOV, and preparation method and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of nucleic acid hybridization, in particular to an RNA probe for detecting 2019-nCOV, a preparation method and application thereof.

Background

The current methods for identifying novel coronavirus include a fluorescent quantitative PCR method and an antibody detection method, wherein the fluorescent quantitative PCR method for nucleic acid detection is a gold standard for virus detection methods, but the existing methods still have problems such as: (1) although the fluorescence quantitative PCR method can identify nucleic acid in a suspected patient body, the method needs to extract RNA in cells, then carry out reverse transcription, and then carry out PCR identification, the loss of RNA in the experimental operations is more, and if the suspected patient is in an early infection stage or the virus content in the body is less, the RNA is easily lost in the extraction process, and a false negative result appears; (2) because the novel coronavirus is an RNA virus, the variation speed of the RNA virus is high, the variation can be accumulated continuously, the requirement of a fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment on a nucleic acid sequence is higher, particularly the requirement on a region covered by a PCR primer is severer, and if the nucleic acid in the region is mutated, the PCR amplification efficiency is reduced and even the nucleic acid cannot be amplified, so that a false negative result is generated; (3) the fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment is not subjected to sequencing identification, and non-target fragments are possibly amplified, so that a false positive phenomenon occurs, and the detection result is inaccurate.

The RNA probe is a single-stranded cDNA or cRNA molecule with a mark and capable of being complementarily combined with a corresponding nucleotide sequence in a tissue, and is a promising nucleic acid probe.

Therefore, how to provide a probe capable of effectively detecting 2019-nCoV and apply the probe to the detection of 2019-nCoV is a problem which needs to be solved by the technical personnel in the field.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above, the present invention synthesizes an antisense RNA probe with digoxin label based on the base sequence of the novel coronavirus, which can be used for nucleic acid detection of the novel coronavirus and has the advantages of high sensitivity, strong specificity and elimination of false negative results.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

an RNA probe for detecting 2019-nCOV, wherein the sequence of the RNA probe is shown as SEQ ID NO.1, or as shown as SEQ ID NO: 1 by replacing, deleting and/or adding bases and/or modifying the tail end to obtain a sequence with homology of more than 90 percent; as a parallel technical scheme of the invention, the sequence of the RNA probe is shown as SEQ ID NO.21, or as SEQ ID NO: 21 by substitution, deletion and/or addition of bases and/or terminal modification, and has a homology of more than 90%.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the RNA probe has a length of at least 857 nt.

As a preferred technical scheme of the invention, the sequence with homology of more than 90 percent obtained by substituting, deleting and/or adding bases and/or modifying the tail end of the sequence shown by SEQ ID NO.21 is the sequence shown by SEQ ID NO.22 or SEQ ID NO. 23.

The technical effect achieved by the technical scheme is as follows: so far, in the existing reports, 2019-nCOV contains 149 mutations, and the mutation is still in continuous accelerated accumulation, because 937nt of the RNA probe designed by the scheme can be hybridized with a target nucleic acid sequence, even if 1 or even more nucleic acids in the target sequence are mutated, the overall hybridization effect cannot be influenced, and therefore the probe can effectively avoid the problem that the rapid mutation of the RNA virus causes more and more false negative results in the fluorescent quantitative PCR detection.

A preparation method of an RNA probe comprises the following steps:

1) designing a primer: designing a primer according to a partial base sequence of a target object to obtain a forward primer and a reverse primer;

2) constructing a recombinant plasmid: performing PCR amplification on a part of base sequence of a target object, connecting the part of base sequence of the target object to a vector by using a cloning technology to obtain a recombinant plasmid, performing double enzyme digestion verification on the obtained recombinant plasmid, and judging whether the enzyme digestion result meets the expectation; the process of double enzyme digestion verification specifically comprises the following steps: carrying out double enzyme digestion on the recombinant plasmid by using two enzymes, judging whether a part of base sequence of the target object is connected into the plasmid or not by gel electrophoresis, and if two bands appear in the electrophoresis and the sizes of the two bands are respectively the sizes of the exogenous target fragment and the vector, the enzyme digestion result is in line with expectation; if the condition is not the above condition, the enzyme cutting result is not in accordance with expectation;

2. Mutation tolerance of the RNA probes of the invention

The mutation rate of the prior 2019-nCOV is extremely high, the sequence is unstable, the prior RNAscope method is the same as the fluorescent quantitative PCR method, a very specific base sequence is needed, and when the target sequence is mutated, the combination efficiency of the target sequence and the target sequence is obviously reduced and even fails, so that the detection result fails. At present, the number of 2019-nCOV mutation types reaches more than 6000, one base has mutation on average in 5 bases, if a conventional experimental detection mode is adopted, 10 bases have mutation on average in 50 bases in a target sequence, and in actual detection, if one base has mutation in 50 target sequences, the sensitivity of the method is sharply reduced, and even the detection fails. Such as the mutation types in FIG. 15. The RNA probe sequence claimed by the invention adopts an in-situ hybridization technology, utilizes a method of combining single sequence and long fragment to be combined with a target gene, and even if the target sequence is mutated, the integral combination efficiency is not influenced. Even if a plurality of nucleic acids are mutated in the target sequence, it can hybridize to most of the base sequences of the RNA probe without affecting the overall hybridization effect.

To further verify the tolerance of the RNA probe (the sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 21) of the invention to the mutation of the part of the base sequence of 2019-nCOV (shown in SEQ ID NO.5, 937nt), the following experiments were carried out:

experimental design 1: the same RNA probe sequence is used for in situ hybridization experiments by adopting different signal amplification systems. By using a digoxin marker and alkaline phosphatase signal amplification system, the RNA probe disclosed by the invention and a cell in-situ hybridization experiment of a 2019-nCOV partial base sequence (937nt) obtain a specific and very strong hybridization signal (see figure 11A); the same RNA probe fragment, using fluorescence in situ hybridization assay, no hybridization signal was detected under fluorescence microscope (see FIG. 11B).

Experimental design 2: the RNA probe of the present invention can obtain a strong hybridization signal using digoxin labeling, an alkaline phosphatase signal amplification system (see FIG. 11A); after the RNA probe fragment is shortened (shown as a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.8, 255nt, which is an RNA probe sequence with digoxin marks of UTP obtained after the RNA probe of the invention is truncated; shown as a sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.9, 255nt, which is an RNA probe sequence combined with nucleic acid of 2019-nCOV encoding E protein), the cell in situ hybridization result is negative (shown as a figure 11C).

Experimental design 3: mutation experiment, qPCR experiment detection of mutation amplification efficiency

The wild type plasmid and the mutated plasmid were transfected into HEK293T cells, RNA of the cells was extracted, and verified by qPCR, qPCR primers were designed near the mutation site, and a total of 8 sets of mutant primers were designed (indicated by m1, m2, m3, m4, r1, r2, r3, r4, respectively). The qPCR experiment result is shown in figure 13, and the result shows that the PCR amplification efficiency is 100% by taking f as a reference (the virus does not have mutation), and after the virus has mutation, signals cannot be completely detected by m1, m2, m3, r1 and r3, and the efficiencies of m4, r2 and r4 are respectively 1%, 6% and 4% before mutation, while the in-situ hybridization experiment result shows that the RNA probe of the invention is not influenced by nucleic acid mutation and still obtains very strong positive signals (shown in the right figure of figure 14). By analogy, the size of nucleic acid hybridization is similar to that of qPCR in the conventional short probe binding method, and thus the short probe binding method is also very sensitive to mutation.

Shown as SEQ ID NO.10 is the nucleotide sequence obtained after wild type plasmid qPCR.

Wild type primers (shown as SEQ ID NO. 11-12) adopted in the qPCR experiment:

qPCR-F2：tgcttgtgaaattgtcggtgga；

qPCR-R2：agagtcagcacacaaagccaa；

8 sets of mutant primers used in the qPCR experiments: (capital marked is mutation site, and the sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO. 13-20)

SNP1：qPCR-F2 m1：tgcttgtgaaattgtcggtggT；

SNP2：qPCR-F2 m2：tgcttgtgaaattgtcggtgCT；

SNP3：qPCR-F2 m3：tgcttgtgaaTAtgtcggtgga；

SNP4：qPCR-F2 m4：tgcttgtgaaaAtgtcggtgga；

SNP5：qPCR-R2 r1：agagtcagcacacaaagccaT；

SNP6：qPCR-2 r2：agagtcagcacacaaagccGT；

SNP7：qPCR-2 r3：agagtcagcacaGaaagccaa；

SNP8：qPCR-2 r4：agagtcagcaGTcaaagccaa。

SNP1-SNP8 are forward primers m1-m4 and reverse primers r1-r4 of qPCR experiments respectively. Gene mutations have a very large effect on the amplification efficiency of qPCR, when the mutation site is at the 3 'end of the primer, the effect is very large, and when the mutation site is in the middle of the primer, the effect is also large, but not as large as at the 3' end.

Experimental design 4: in situ hybridization mutation design

Based on the target hybridization sequence (shown as SEQ ID NO.5, 937nt), we designed an experiment with 2, 3 consecutive base mutations, as shown in FIG. 13, in which 360 bases were truncated and the unmatched base was the mutated base).

Results of the experiments see FIG. 14, the left panel is the experimental control transfected with pCMVB myc hisA empty vector, and the right panel is the results of the in situ hybridization experiments with the RNA probe of the present invention. The results show that: after mutation of the target sequence, the RNA probe of the invention still obtains very strong and specific hybridization signals. Even if the nucleic acid sequence of the target virus generates single or multiple base mutation, the RNA probe still obtains very strong positive signal, and the tolerance of the method to the nucleic acid mutation is higher. The RNA probe of the invention has the advantages of low cost, simple manufacture, good effect and mutation resistance.

The above experiment further proves that the RNA probe (the sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 21) of the invention has high tolerance to virus mutation, and the qPCR method is very sensitive to virus mutation, which easily causes the occurrence of false negative result. By analogy, the size of nucleic acid hybridization is similar to that of qPCR in the conventional short probe binding method, and thus the short probe binding method is also very sensitive to mutation. Therefore, the present invention is significantly superior to conventional methods for new coronaviruses with very high mutation frequency.

According to the detection principle of the RNA probe, the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.21 can reach equivalent effect in the detection of the viruses such as bat coronavirus prc31 strain, bat coronavirus RacCS203 strain, bat coronavirus 264 strain, bat coronavirus 253 strain, bat coronavirus 224 strain or pangolin coronavirus MP789 strain and the like.

(5) color development and photography: adding the hybrid sample into MABT solution of heat-treated lamb serum, and washing at room temperature; washing with MABT and detection buffer solution; and finally, adding an AP substrate staining buffer solution, incubating at room temperature, wrapping in dark, washing with PBS after the target staining appears, observing under a microscope, photographing, and judging whether a positive signal appears.
