Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gene detection, and particularly relates to a primer and probe improved structure for high-sensitivity fluorescent PCR detection, a detection system and application thereof, which are mainly used for fluorescent PCR detection of trace mutation of non-diagnostic tumor liquid biopsy, ultra-low content pathogenic microorganisms and excessive interference DNA.
Background
The PCR technology is one kind of nucleic acid in vitro amplification technology and has the basic principle of simulating the natural DNA copying process in vitro, and has high sensitivity, high specificity, simple operation and other features. However, the method can only perform qualitative analysis or semi-quantitative analysis on the product, cannot accurately quantify the product, and is easy to cause pollution, false positive and other problems when the product identification analysis is complex.
The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR technology is taken as a second generation PCR technology, and is a technology of adding a fluorescent group into a PCR reaction system, monitoring the whole PCR process in real time by utilizing fluorescent signal accumulation, and quantifying nucleic acid by different fluorescent detection methods. The technology realizes the leap of PCR from qualitative to quantitative, is not easy to generate pollution, and has the advantages of higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy, accurate quantitative, real-time monitoring and the like compared with the first-generation PCR. However, the quantitative result is calculated by comparing the quantitative result with a reference substance, and the quantitative result still belongs to the category of relative quantification depending on a Ct value, a standard curve and a reference sample, and has the defects of insufficient sensitivity and false negative in the aspects of detection of an extremely small amount of nucleic acid sample, specific detection in the presence of an interfering substance, rare mutation detection and small difference identification of the expression quantity.
Scientific researchers at home and abroad have carried out a great deal of researches on specific primers and probes for real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection, and developed a series of primers and probes for detecting various nucleic acids. Compared with the beginning of the application of the technology, with the continuous deep research, the structure of the primer and the probe for PCR detection is continuously improved, and the specificity and the sensitivity for PCR detection are also continuously improved. However, the problem of low sensitivity still exists in aspects of trace mutation of tumor liquid biopsy, excessive existence of ultra-low content pathogenic microorganisms and interference DNA and the like.
Colorectal cancer is one of three most common malignant tumors, has the characteristics of high morbidity, high fatality rate and the like, seriously threatens the life and health of patients, strengthens colorectal cancer screening and discovers a proper and effective screening method, and has important significance in improving the detection rate of early tumors and reducing the fatality rate. Colonoscopes, while being the gold standard for screening colorectal cancers, require cumbersome and time-consuming preparation of the intestinal tract, and present a risk of bleeding and perforation as an invasive examination means, with a low participation rate in the screened population.
Extensive research on [1] It has been shown that DNA methylation can cause changes in chromatin structure, DNA conformation, DNA stability, and the manner in which DNA interacts with proteins, thereby controlling gene expression; and are widely found in a variety of tumors. In addition, study [2] The stool DNA methylation level change is closely related to colorectal cancer occurrence and development, abnormal methylation often occurs in early colorectal tumor, and the method has high accuracy in detection of near-far colorectal cancer (CRC) and large adenoma (with the diameter more than or equal to 1 cm). Therefore, the human SDC2 gene in the fecal sample of the colorectal cancer high risk group is taken as a target gene, and the methylation level of the human SDC2 gene is detected, so that the human SDC2 gene can be used as a tumor marker for early screening of colorectal cancer.
Numerous scholars have conducted a great deal of research on primers and probes for detecting SDC2 gene methylation in human feces, and a series of important results are obtained, and although the detection sensitivity of gene methylation is effectively improved, the detection sensitivity still cannot meet high requirements in the face of lower methylation mutation proportion and lower DNA sample content.
Patent document CN 109943638A [3] A primer probe combination for detecting SDC2 gene methylation is disclosed, which has better specificity for detecting colorectal cancer, however, the primer probe combination can only complete detection of 200 ng-2 mug for an extracted DNA sample, and the detection sensitivity of the primer probe combination needs to be further improved for a lower amount of DNA sample.
Patent document CN 110373470a [4] Disclosed is a colorectal tumor specific methylationThe detection primer, the detection probe and the detection kit comprise a forward primer, a reverse primer and a detection probe of the SDC2 gene, wherein ACTB is selected as an internal reference gene, so that the sensitivity of methylation detection of the SDC2 gene is improved, however, the total quantity of qualified genome DNA in a sample detected by the method needs to be more than 1 mug, the detection limit of methylation of the SDC2 gene still cannot be increased to be below ng level, and the trace mutation of the gene cannot be accurately detected.
Patent document CN 114008219A [5] Disclosed is a method for detecting methylation of SDC2 gene by using a primer for specifically amplifying a methylated SDC2 gene and a probe capable of complementary hybridization with the methylated SDC2 gene which has been specifically amplified by the primer, which enables accurate detection of 20ng of template DNA but fails to detect accurately in the presence of a lower amount of template DNA.
Patent document CN 110904228A [6] Disclosed are a colorectal cancer auxiliary diagnosis kit for fecal nucleic acid detection and a use method thereof, wherein the method is used for SDC2 gene methylation detection, can detect 10 ng/. Mu.L of DNA, and effectively improves the detection limit.
Patent document CN 113454243A [7] Disclosed are a composition, a kit and an application for colorectal cancer detection, which can be used for detecting colorectal cancer by detecting the methylation state of SDC2 genes, wherein the detection amount of standard DNA is 10ng.
Patent document CN 110699437A [8] The kit realizes that enzyme digestion reaction and fluorescence PCR reaction are sequentially carried out in a tube to detect the methylation state of the SDC2 gene by using methylation sensitive restriction enzyme and a marked twin primer, improves the sensitivity, and can detect the methylation of the SDC2 gene when the DNA content is as low as 1ng and the methylation DNA proportion is as low as 1 percent.
Primary application of emulsion PCR technology in construction of ssDNA library and P16 gene methylation and HBV DNA detection [9] The emulsion PCR method is adopted to detect gene methylation, and the result shows that:compared with MSP, the two-step emulsion PCR has higher sensitivity and stronger anti-interference capability, and under the interference of unmethylated genes, the two-step emulsion PCR has the following ratio of methylation to unmethylation of 1:100, whereas MSP can only detect methylation at a ratio of methylation to unmethylation of 1:10. The sensitivity of the method to methylation detection in the presence of more unmethylated interfering genes remains to be further improved.
Park et al [10] A total of 190 intestinal lavage (BLF) samples were reported to be collected from patients with colorectal tumors and healthy normal individuals. 14 polypectomy specimens were obtained during colonoscopy, bisulphite pyrosequencing assays were performed and methylation specific polymerase chain reactions were quantified to measure SDC2 methylation in tissues and BLFDNs, and the results showed that in the SDC2 methylated BLFDNA test, the sensitivity for detection of CRC and VA was 80.0% and 64.7%, respectively, with a specificity of 88.9%. BLF in patients with multiple tubular adenomas, single tubular adenomas and proliferative polyps showed 62.8%, 26.7% and 28.6% positive for SDC2 methylation, respectively. The method has the detection quantity of 20ng for the gene sample, and the detection sensitivity is required to be improved.
Niu et al [11] The methylation status of SDC2 was reported to be detected in cell lines and 398 colorectal tissue samples, and 497 stool samples were further evaluated using real-time methylation-specific PCR, the effect of 17 potential interfering substances on stool methylation SDC2 performance was analyzed, and SDC2 expression was measured. The results show that: the stool test for methylated SDC2 detected 81.1% (159/196) colorectal cancer and 58.2% (71/122) adenoma with a specificity of 93.3% (167/179), of the 17 interfering substances, only high concentrations of berberine inhibited stool detection for methylated SDC2, but the method detected only a concentration of 20 ng/. Mu.L for SDC2 gene.
Liang et al [12] A new qPCR detection reagent was used, comprising two differentially methylated regions of SDC2 and CpG, for detection of CRC. Methylation detection of two fragments of the SDC2 gene (SDC 2-a and SDC 2-b) using two primer pairs, the kit can detect methyl groups in fecal DNA samplesChemical SDC2 performs 100% detection, however, only 5-15 ng of DNA sample can be accurately detected.
The above studies show that, although a series of primers and probes and kits have been developed for detecting methylation of SDC2 gene, which shows better specificity and sensitivity, methylation of SDC2 gene can only be detected when the DNA content is as low as 1ng and the proportion of methylated DNA is as low as 1%, but accurate detection cannot be performed on DNA samples with the concentration lower than 1ng, and the detection sensitivity still needs to be further improved.
In addition to the need for accurate detection of DNA methylation for early cancer screening, accurate detection of trace RNAs and mutations thereof is also needed. Therefore, the development of PCR detection specific primers and probes for detecting novel coronavirus genes with ultralow content and high sensitivity is the key point of research at present.
Patent document CN 113151590A [13] The invention discloses a novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV ORF1ab, N and E gene detection kit and a preparation and detection method, wherein a multi-target fluorescent PCR detection primer is designed for three conserved genes (1 ab, N and E genes) of 2019-nCoV, wherein the detection lower limit of the ORF1ab gene is 101 copies/mu L, the detection lower limit of the N gene is 101 copies/mu L, and the detection limit of the N gene still needs to be further improved.

Mu.L and can not detect samples with the concentration of 10 copies/. Mu.L.
Patent document CN 112662811A [15] Discloses a novel coronavirus 4 gene segment multiplex nucleic acid detection kit and application thereof, the invention designs a primer probe combination 1 of a novel coronavirus ORF1ab gene and an N geneAnd primer probe combination 2 of the E gene and the S gene, and meanwhile, 4 nucleic acid targets of the ORF1ab, N, E, S gene are detected, so that the fault tolerance of the nucleic acid detection on virus variation can be improved, two different conditions of virus variation and virus negative can be better distinguished, and the accuracy of new coronavirus infection diagnosis is improved. The detection limit test result of the kit shows that the detection limit of the kit is 100copies/mL, the detection rate under the condition is 100%, and the detection rate at 50copies/mL is 75%.
Zhou Wei, etc [16] A SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection kit (product batch number: 2021277) is adopted to carry out fluorescence quantitative PCR detection on the ORF1ab gene and the N gene of the novel coronavirus, the detection rate of weak positive samples is still higher, but the lower detection limit of the kit only reaches 500copies/mL.
Yu et al [17] 323 samples of 76 new crown diagnosis patients were subjected to ddPCR and RT-PCR analysis based on two target genes (ORF 1ab and N) and were collected for detection by nasal swabs, pharyngeal swabs, sputum, blood and urine, and the results showed that: of 95 samples positive for both methods, the cycle threshold (Ct) of RT-PCR was highly correlated with the copy number of ddPCR (ORF 1ab gene, r2=0.83; n gene, r2=0.87). 4 parts (4/161) were detected as negative by RT-PCR, 41 parts (41/67) were detected as single gene positive by ddPCR, and the viral load was 11.1 to 123.2copies per tube, but the total volume detected per tube was not clear in this document.
As is clear from the descriptions of the patent and journal documents, the minimum detection limit of the real-time fluorescence PCR detection technology for the ORF1ab gene and the N gene of the novel coronavirus only reaches 100copies/mL, and the detection technology still needs to be further improved.
Therefore, although the real-time fluorescent PCR technology has the characteristics of good specificity and good detection sensitivity, the distinguishing capability of the mutation of the current probes and primers for PCR detection and the detection capability of the very low amount of virus RNA molecules are still greatly limited. In particular, in aspects of trace mutation, ultra-low content pathogenic microorganisms, excessive existence of interfering DNA and the like of tumor liquid biopsy, the existing probe and primer design method has serious limitation on the effect of PCR detection and lower detection limit sensitivity, so that improvement is needed in aspects of the probe and primer design method.

The combination of the design method of the primer F/R and the probe P adopted according to the design method 8 in the table 2 is used as a high-sensitivity detection system and applied to the methylation detection of the human SDC2 gene.
The PCR template is simulated stool sample DNA of the intestinal cancer patient with the mutation proportion of 0.1% of 0.5 ng/. Mu.L. Because of the high background of microbial DNA in human fecal samples and low content of human DNA, the detection limit of the existing common detection method can only reach 1 ng/. Mu.L of human fecal sample DNA with a mutation proportion of 1% (such as reference [8] and reference [10 ]).
To examine the effectiveness of the application of the highly sensitive probe and primer system in ARMS-fluorescent PCR, the stool DNA of the intestinal cancer patient with 25% methylation mutation rate of the SDC2 gene was first extracted with a small amount of stool DNA extraction kit (product number: D3141-03) from Guangzhou Mei Biotechnology, and then mixed in a ratio of 0.1% mutation rate to a concentration of 0.5 ng/. Mu.l with the stool DNA of the intestinal cancer patient of ZYMO company, and then with EZ DNA Methylation-Gold from ZYMO TM And (3) carrying out Kit (product number: D5005) treatment, designing a conventional specific primer probe system and designing a high-sensitivity specific primer probe system, and evaluating the detection effect of the high-sensitivity specific primer probe system through comparison.

the experimental results are shown in fig. 6, and fig. 6 shows that the amplification of the DNA of the stool sample with the mutation ratio of 0.1% and 0.5 ng/. Mu.L, which is simulated by the amplification of the primer probe system designed by the conventional method, cannot generate a curve, which indicates that the sensitivity is insufficient. And the sensitivity can be obviously improved by amplifying the simulated stool sample DNA with the mutation ratio of 0.1% and 0.5 ng/. Mu.L by a high-sensitivity system.
