Description

Method and kit for detecting novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2)
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a detection method and a kit for a novel coronavirus. The invention also relates to a method and a kit for sensitivity-enhancing detection of the nucleic acid molecule amplification product.
Background
Coronavirus is a positive-stranded single-stranded RNA coronavirus with an envelope, which causes an acute respiratory viral disease that has emerged in 2019. On day 11 of 2 months, the international committee for viral classification specified the virus name severe acid respiratory syndrome coronavirus corona 2, abbreviated SARS-CoV-2, i.e., "severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2". The diseases caused by the virus are named as 'COVID-19' by the world health organization, namely '2019 coronavirus diseases'.
In clinical examination of COVID-19, nucleic acid detection of samples such as throat swab, nasal swab, lower respiratory lavage, and feces is currently the most effective method for the accurate diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, because of the hasty of epidemic outbreaks, IVD companies are not left with sufficient time to develop and verify the performance and effectiveness of reagents, resulting in the poor key indicators of sensitivity and specificity of the currently used reagents in clinical practice.
In addition, the small amount of SARS-CoV-2 in the throat, nose and upper respiratory tract results in significantly reduced detection accuracy, and makes it more difficult to accurately detect SARS-CoV-2, particularly in the latent or early stage of infection, which further increases the risk of infection by COVID-19.
The qRT-PCR detection of SARS-CoV-2 virus has high sensitivity and specificity, and therefore, is a widely accepted standard for judging virus infection at present. However, when the content of viral nucleic acid in the sample to be tested is very low, and the Ct value of the test result is close to or even greater than 40, the sample is difficult to judge whether the sample is "weak positive" or "true negative".
At present, although deep sequencing can be used for further judgment, the method is time-consuming, labor-consuming and expensive. In addition, although the comprehensive judgment can be made by combining clinical symptoms or treatment effects, the scheme is not only time-consuming, but also unsafe, and the judgment standards cannot be unified, so that the result is not accurate.
Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a rapid, simple, efficient and accurate method for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

Detailed Description
Through extensive and intensive research, the inventor develops a technical scheme for detecting the sensitized target nucleic acid through the research on the cleavage characteristics of Cas enzymes (such as Cas12a, Cas12b and Cas14 enzymes), and the scheme further detects the target nucleic acid through a sensitization reaction after the target nucleic acid molecule is amplified. Unexpectedly, the experimental result shows that the method can quickly, simply, efficiently and accurately detect pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2 and the like to the detection samples (such as throat swabs, nasal swabs and the like) which are difficult to obtain effective detection results by the detection methods such as qRT-PCR and the like originally, thereby providing powerful detection results for diagnosis or epidemic prevention. The present invention has been completed based on this finding.
According to the characteristics of the method, the special Enhancement for Nucleic Acid Amplification assays is named SENA (specific Enhancement for Nucleic Acid Amplification assays), and can be used for specific sensitization of new coronavirus PCR reaction products. The research shows that the method of the present invention is especially suitable for detecting SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid molecule.

The invention provides a detection method for quickly detecting a target nucleic acid molecule with high specificity. Once the target DNA (single-stranded or double-stranded), guide RNA, and trans-cleavage active Cas protein (Cas12a, Cas12b, and Cas14) form a ternary complex, the complex cleaves other single-stranded DNA molecules in the system. By adding a guide RNA and a Cas protein having trans-cleavage activity to a test system; when the target DNA exists, the Cas protein with the trans-cleavage activity, the guide RNA and the target DNA form a ternary complex, and the complex performs the trans-cleavage activity and cleaves single-stranded DNA with a fluorescent signal mark (two ends are respectively connected with a luminescent group and a quenching group, and the luminescent group can emit light after being cut), so that fluorescence is emitted. Therefore, whether the system to be detected contains the target DNA molecule can be known by detecting fluorescence. The method of the invention can be used for rapidly detecting whether the amplification solution of the sample contains the specific DNA amplification product or not, thereby deducing whether the original sample contains the specific nucleic acid sequence or not. Compared with the traditional PCR (including qPCR and qRT-PCR) technology, the detection method can greatly improve the sensitivity of target nucleic acid detection by combining CRISPR trans-cutting with the PCR technology. The nucleic acid probe of the present invention is preferably a fluorescent probe.
SENA analysis
The invention provides application of sensitization in nucleic acid detection based on Cas enzymes such as Cas12a, Cas12b and Cas 14. The following description takes Cas12a as an example.
According to studies, Cas12a has the activity of cleaving in trans, i.e., once the target DNA, crRNA, and Cas12a protein form a ternary complex, other single stranded DNA in the system is randomly cleaved. According to the principle, a SENA specific sensitization method is designed. First, the bypass DNA was designed as a fluorescent probe consisting of a random sequence of 12nt, labeled at the 5 'end with a fluorophore FAM and at the 3' end with a quencher BHQ1 (FAM-N)12-BHQ 1). Mixing a certain volume of PCR (or qPCR or qRT-PCR) amplification product with SENA reaction liquid (protecting specific crRNA and Cas12a protein), and when the system to be detected contains the amplification product of target DNA, forming a ternary complex by the crRNA and the Cas12a protein and the amplification product of the target DNA, activating the trans-cleavage activity of the Cas12a protein, and chopping a fluorescent probe in the system so as to emit fluorescence capable of being detected. The Cas protein-crRNA specific recognition amplified target DNA is used to excite the Cas protein trans-cleavage activity and cut up the single-stranded fluorescent probe to emit detectable fluorescence, which we call this method SENA.
When multiple target nucleic acids are detected simultaneously, multiple crrnas specifically targeting the target nucleic acids need to be mixed with the Cas12a protein, and then PCR (or qPCR or qRT-PCR) amplification products are added to perform the SENA reaction. When any target nucleic acid in the system is specifically amplified, the SENA can emit a fluorescence signal which can be detected.
The main advantages of the invention are:
(1) and (3) fast: when the amplification is completed, the SENA detection result can be obtained in only 10 minutes.
(2) Sensitivity: in the case that the Ct value of q (RT) -PCR is about 40 or even no Ct value is obtained, the SENA can still detect the existence of specific amplification products in the amplification system very specifically and sensitively, i.e. whether the amplification of q (RT) -PCR is specific amplification or not. Furthermore, in cases where Ct values could not be determined by q (RT) -PCR, SENA could still identify a fraction of false negative samples.
(3) Specifically: the invention uses the property of CRISPR-Cas protein to specifically bind to a target nucleic acid. Because the Cas protein has high specificity (can distinguish single-base mismatch), the invention also has very high specificity, and can strictly distinguish specific amplification from non-specific amplification.
(4) The method is simple: no special and complicated steps are needed, and the operation flow of the existing sample detection is not required to be changed; it is only necessary to take out a part of the amplification reagent after the completion of the conventional amplification and perform the SENA reaction. If the SENA is prepared into a kit and the program is set, the operation can be completed by simply adding the nucleic acid amplification product.
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples.

Example 1
1.1 SENA analysis targeting SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab
In this example, to screen suitable guide RNAs to target the specifically amplified sequence in SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab, the qRT-PCR amplification interval of ORF1ab was determined based on the primers recommended by Chinese CDC (see primer pair 2, SEQ ID Nos: 20 and 21) and the complementary qRT-PCR amplified Taqman fluorescent probe sequence (5'-FAM-CCGTCTGCGGTATGTGGAAAGGTTATGG-BHQ1-3', SEQ ID No: 8).
The following crRNA sequences were designed from the amplified sequences:
sequence (5'-3') SEQ ID No:
crRNA guide sequence 1: 5'-UGGCUGUAGUUGUGAUCAACUCC-3' 1
crRNA guide sequence 2: 5'-AUCACAACUACAGCCAUAAC-3' 2
crRNA guide sequence 3: 5'-GCGGAGUUGAUCACAACUACAGC-3' 3
crRNA guide sequence 4: 5'-AAAACACAGUCUGUACCGUCUGC-3' 4
to prepare the crRNA probe, T7-crRNA-F was annealed to a synthetic oligonucleotide to prepare a transcription template. Specifically, paired oligonucleotides (4 μ M) were annealed in 1 × PCR buffer (Tolo Biotech.) in a total volume of 50 μ L, followed by an annealing procedure: initial denaturation at 95 ℃ for 5 minutes, followed by cooling from 95 ℃ to 20 ℃ and a1 ℃ reduction per minute using a thermal cycler. crRNA was synthesized in vitro using T7RNA polymerase, and the reaction was carried out at 37 ℃ for 4-16 hours. DNase I treatment was then used to remove template DNA, and crRNA was purified using an RNA purification and concentration kit and quantified using a NanoDrop 2000C (thermo Fisher scientific). Finally, the purified guide RNA probe was diluted to a concentration of 10. mu.M and stored in a freezer at-80 ℃ for further use.
qPCR amplification was performed using the synthesized ORF1 ab-containing sequence as template and the primers and probes recommended by CDC as described above. mu.L of the qPCR amplification reaction solution was added to 18. mu.L of a pre-mixed SENA reaction system (containing LbaCas12a, different crRNAs, FAM-N) containing different crRNA sequences12BHQ1 and reaction buffer) at 37 degrees for 10 minutes, and FAM fluorescence was continuously measured.
As shown in fig. 1, the test results showed that the cleavage activity of LbaCas12a with crRNA1 was highest, and signal saturation was reached in the shortest time (3 min); the trans-cleavage activity of crRNA 2 and crRNA 3 was less than that of the crRNA, and the signal was saturated within 8 minutes; the trans-cleavage activity of crRNA 4 was minimal and signal saturation was still not achieved at 10 min. Therefore, subsequent trans-cleavage experiments all selected crRNA1 for detection of the amplification product of SARS-CoV-2 ORF1 ab.
1.2 SENA analysis of the Targeted SARS-CoV-2N Gene
Similarly, the amplification region of qRT-PCR of the N gene was determined based on the primers recommended by the Chinese CDC (see primer pair 10, SEQ ID Nos: 36 and 37) and the fluorescent probe sequence of qRT-PCR (5'-FAM-TTGCTGCTGCTTGACAGATT-TAMRA-3', SEQ ID No: 9).
The following guide RNA sequences were designed from the amplified sequences:
sequence (5'-3') SEQ ID No:
crRNA guide sequence 5: 5'-CUCUCAAGCUGGUUCAAUCUGUC-3' 5
crRNA guide sequence 6: 5'-CUGCUGCUUGACAGAUUGAACCA-3' 6
crRNA guide sequence 7: 5'-CUUUGCUGCUGCUUGACAGAUUG-3' 7
in vitro transcription, purification, and quantification of crRNA were performed in a similar manner as described above.
qRT-PCR amplification was performed using the synthesized N gene-containing sequence as a template and the primers and probes recommended by CDC as described above. mu.L of qRT-PCR amplification reaction solution was added to 18. mu.L of a pre-mixed SENA reaction system (containing LbaCas12a, different crRNAs, FAM-N) containing different crRNA sequences12BHQ1 and reaction buffer) at 37 degrees for 10 minutes, and FAM fluorescence was continuously measured.
As shown in fig. 2, the test results show that Cas12a has the highest cleavage activity with crRNA7, and signal saturation is reached within 10 minutes; the crRNA 6 was less active in trans cleavage than the crRNA 5, and signal saturation was not reached at 10 min. Therefore, subsequent trans-cleavage experiments all selected crRNA7 for detection of the amplification product of SARS-CoV-2N gene.
Thus, based on example 1, preferred combinations of reagents that can be determined are as follows:
ORF1ab for SARS-CoV-2:
primer pair 2 SEQ ID Nos 20 and 21, Taqman probe: SEQ ID No. 8;
crRNA: SEQ ID No. 11 (guide sequence is SEQ ID No. 1)
For SARS-CoV-2N gene:
primer pair 10 SEQ ID Nos 36 and 37, Taqman probe: the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 9,
crRNA7 SEQ ID No. 17 (guide sequence is SEQ ID No:1)
Example 2
In this example, SARS-CoV-2RNA standard control was diluted with HEK293T total RNA in a gradient and subjected to qRT-PCR reaction and SENA sensitization reaction, respectively. Negative control and positive control are water and synthetic SARS-CoV-2 ORF1ab fragment, respectively; the qRT-PCR amplification primers and probes used are primers recommended by Chinese CDC (see primer pair 2) and matched Taqman fluorescent probes.
After qRT-PCR reaction, 2. mu.L of the reaction solution of qRT-PCR was added to 18. mu.L of the prepared SENA reaction system (LbaCas12a, crRNA1, FAM-N)12BHQ1 and reaction buffer) at 37 degrees for 10 minutes.
The results of the qRT-PCR and SENA reactions are shown in Table 1 below. Wherein, the detection sensitivity of qRT-PCR can only detect No. 5 samples, and the SENA can effectively detect No. 8 samples, which is at least 8 times higher than the sensitivity of qRT-PCR. Wherein UD indicates that qRT-PCR did not amplify a curve, and there is no effective Ct value. "-" indicates that the SENA reaction was negative; "+" indicates a positive SENA reaction.

Example 3
In this example, a synthetic DNA positive control containing SARS-CoV-2N gene fragment was subjected to gradient dilution with an extract from a human pharyngeal swab, and subjected to qPCR reaction and SENA sensitization reaction, respectively. The qPCR amplification primers used were the primers recommended by the Chinese CDC (see primer pair 10) and the matched Taqman fluorescent probe. After the qPCR reaction, 2. mu.L of the reaction solution of qPCR was added to a premixed 18. mu.L of SENA reaction system (LbaCas12a, crRNA7, FAM-N)12BHQ1 and reaction buffer) at 37 degrees for 10 minutes.
The results of qPCR and SENA sensitization experiments performed on the positive control samples after gradient dilution are shown in table 2 below. When the target DNA molecules in the qPCR reaction system are less than 32, the qPCR cannot obtain a stable and effective amplification Ct value. In contrast, the detection limit of SENA can reach 2 target nucleic acid molecules, that is, only 2 or more target molecules are present in the original qPCR reaction system, and SENA can be used for effective detection after amplification. Consequently, SENA is 16 times more sensitive than qPCR for detection of the target gene. Although, when using qPCR and SENA to detect different target nucleic acids, it is possible to obtain different qPCR detection limits and SENA detection limits, the SENA detection sensitivity is significantly higher than that of qPCR.

Discussion of the related Art
The SENA sensitization technology is a high-sensitivity, high-specificity and high-efficiency nucleic acid detection technology developed based on a CRISPR technology, and is used for further sensitization reaction of products after qPCR or qRT-PCR reaction. The detection principle is that after sample amplification is completed, CRISPR-Cas12 and specific crRNA are combined with target DNA in an amplification system to form a ternary complex, and then ssDNA trans-cleavage activity of Cas protein is activated; the trans-cleavage activity rapidly cleaves the ssDNA fluorescent reporter probe in the system to give a detectable fluorescent signal.
The SENA reaction has simple operation process, only a small amount of amplification reaction liquid needs to be taken out and added into the prepared SENA signal enhancement reaction premixed liquid, the fluorescence value is read again, and the whole reaction can be completed within 10-30 minutes. The invention has the advantages of simple operation, obvious signal amplification, high reaction speed and the like.
Through the SENA sensitization reaction, the sample with the qPCR result of 'weak positive' (the Ct value is 37-39) can be diagnosed, and even a small amount of extremely weak positive sample (the Ct value is more than or equal to 39) which is judged to be 'negative' by mistake can be found.
