Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a detection reagent for methylation of genes related to cervical cancer and application thereof.
Background
Cervical cancer has been a "killer" threatening the health of women, second only to breast cancer in female malignancies, with almost all (99.7%) of cervical cancer being caused by persistent infection with Human Papillomavirus (HPV). HPV belongs to the genus papillomavirus A of the papovavirus family, is a spherical DNA virus and can cause squamous epithelial proliferation of human skin mucosa. The cervical cancer is developed by infecting high-risk HPV virus from normal cervical cells, then from CIN1 to CIN2 to CIN3, and finally progressing to cervical invasive carcinoma. In this process, the methylation of a specific gene is abnormally elevated in the late stage of CIN2 and CIN3, and therefore, the risk of the progression of cervical lesions can be evaluated by detecting abnormal changes in the methylation of a specific gene. When detecting a transforming lesion (part of CIN2 and CIN 3) by specific gene methylation, the risk of cancer progression can be known, and the physician can be prompted whether to immediately perform therapeutic intervention or keep track of observation.
Cancer gene detection is a worldwide trend, early diagnosis of the risk and occurrence of cancer, early intervention and intervention can greatly improve the 5-year survival rate of cancer and reduce the mortality rate. Epigenetic research worldwide has become an important milestone for the most advanced early diagnosis of cancer: one of the characteristics of the tumor is methylation imbalance, namely, the methylation degree of a specific cancer suppressor gene at a canceration part is obviously increased, the expression is reduced or even silenced, the cancer suppressor function is lost, and finally, the cancer is rapidly developed. Therefore, the methylation state of a specific gene can be regarded as an important index of tumorigenesis and tumor development. Therefore, detection of gene methylation is key to future full-molecular screening of cervical cancer, assessing the risk of progression to cervical cancer in the short term. Therefore, a high-sensitivity and high-specificity methylation detection reagent serving as a molecular marker for detecting the cervical cancer is urgently needed to be searched and developed, and powerful help is provided for early diagnosis of the cervical cancer.

TABLE 8
5 interpretation of results
Threshold value demarcation: both FAM and HEX thresholds were defined as 0.12.
The results were interpreted (PAX 1:. DELTA.CT = FAM CT-HEX CT; ST6GALNAC 5:. DELTA.CT = ROX CT-HEX CT) as shown in Table 9.
TABLE 9
Methylation detection distribution of PAX1 gene and ST6GALNAC5 gene in 6 cervical lesions, cervical cancer samples and negative samples
Cervical lesions, cervical cancer samples and negative samples were tested using the above method and primer probe set, and the results are shown in table 10. The results show that: the multiplex fluorescence PCR kit 1 (namely, the single-target PAX 1) detects 7 of 93 colposcopic negative samples (the specificity is 86/93 and is about 92.47%), 63 cervical cancer samples are all detected, 54 HSIL samples are 36 of the cervical cancer samples, and 81 LSIL samples are 22 of the cervical cancer samples; the multiplex fluorescence PCR kit 2 (namely, the single-target ST6GALNAC 5) detects 13 cases (the specificity is 80/93 and is about 86.02 percent) in 93 cases of colposcopic negative samples, 58 cases in 63 cases of cervical cancer samples, 40 cases in 54 cases of HSIL samples and 30 cases in 81 cases of LSIL samples; the multiplex fluorescent PCR kit 3 (i.e., the dual targets PAX1 and ST6GALNAC 5) detected 5 out of 93 colposcopic negative samples (specificity 88/93, about 94.62%), 63 out of 63 cervical cancer samples, 43 out of 54 HSIL samples, and 24 out of 81 LSIL samples. Meanwhile, the methylation ratio of the PAX1 and ST6GALNAC5 genes is increased along with the progression of cervical cancer, the sensitivity of the single target PAX1 to cervical cancer is 100%, the sensitivity to HSIL is 66.67%, the sensitivity to LSIL is 27.16%, and the specificity to a negative sample is 92.47%; single target ST6GALNAC5 had 92.06% sensitivity to cervical cancer, 74.07% sensitivity to HSIL, 37.04% sensitivity to LSIL, and 86.02% specificity for negative samples; the dual targets PAX1 and ST6GALNAC5 had 100% sensitivity to cervical cancer, 79.63% sensitivity to HSIL, 29.63% sensitivity to LSIL, and 94.62% specificity for negative samples. Therefore, the kit with the double targets PAX1 and ST6GALNAC5 is more beneficial to the detection of precancerous lesion HSIL, and the performance of the kit is obviously superior to that of the kit with the single target PAX1 and the single target ST6GALNAC 5.

Example 5 sensitivity test
The methylation rates of different proportions in the background of 200ng of DNA were detected using the kit 3 prepared in example 3 of the present invention, and the methylation sensitivity of the detection in the background of 200ng of DNA was evaluated.
The invention selects a cell line ME-180 (purchased from China Shanghai academy of sciences cell bank) as a 100% methylation sample, and a cell line HEK293 (purchased from Hunan Fenghui organism) as a 0% methylation sample. The detailed procedure for DNA extraction of the cell lines is described in step 2 of example 4, and the DNA concentration of the extracted DNA was determined by a Qubit 2.0 fluorescence quantifier (from Thermofeisher Scientific). ME-180 and HEK293 were diluted to 10 ng/. Mu.L solutions and then diluted in multiple ratios to different methylation ratio references, the specific methylation ratio reference formulations are shown in Table 11.
