Description

Probe combination and detection method of staphylococcus aureus
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pathogen detection, in particular to a probe combination and application thereof, and a detection method of staphylococcus aureus.
Background
The detection of pathogenic bacteria mainly comprises counting and qualitative detection of pathogenic bacteria. Currently, colony culture and counting methods are gold standard in terms of pathogen counts and are widely used in clinic. However, the colony culture and counting method has the problems of low specificity, complex operation and the like caused by long operation period and incapability of qualitatively analyzing the colonies, and influences the efficiency of clinical detection and diagnosis work. In terms of qualitative analysis of pathogenic bacteria, immunoassay is still the most traditional qualitative technology of pathogenic bacteria, and is considered as a gold standard for clinical trials. However, immunoassays are often criticized for their low sensitivity, labor intensity, and high cost. An aptamer is widely used to construct aptamer sensors as a small oligonucleotide sequence that specifically recognizes and binds to biomolecules. The aptamer sensor has the advantages of low cost, simple transformation, rapid response and the like, and can be applied to various experimental and clinical scenes such as disease diagnosis, drug delivery and the like. In recent years, a variety of pathogen detection aptamer sensors have been developed, mainly using an aptamer to convert staphylococcus aureus signals into nucleic acid signals, and amplifying the signals in combination with isothermal nucleic acid signal amplification strategies. The sensors can be simply classified into fluorescence type, electrochemical type, colorimetric type, and other types according to the sensor. Among them, the fluorescent biosensor is attracting attention because of its advantages of stability, programmability, easy operation, and the like. For example, researchers have developed a new method based on the circulating signal amplification cascade technology of CRISPR-Cas12a, enabling sensitive and accurate detection of staphylococcus aureus. The method represents the general idea of pathogen detection based on the aptamer technology at present, namely, the pathogen is specifically identified through the aptamer, and the subsequent signal amplification technology is integrated to ensure higher sensitivity. Although fluorescence biosensors have made remarkable progress on the basis of the traditional staphylococcus aureus detection method, there are two disadvantages: i) False transcription of the oligonucleotide sequence during signal amplification is unavoidable and may interfere with the calculation of the result; ii) the need for fluorescent detection instrumentation to read results is limited in use in some less developed areas. Therefore, developing a high-fidelity signal amplification strategy and integrating the strategy, and accurately and sensitively detecting staphylococcus aureus in a chromogenic mode has important significance.

SEQ ID No.3:TAC CTC AGC ATC CCT ATC CCT ATC CCT ACC CCA CCA TAC ACC CCA
The working mechanism of the probe assembly provided in this embodiment is shown in fig. 1.
(1) In the assembled state, both the allosteric probe and the hairpin probe are hairpin structures, which prevents hybridization of the allosteric probe to the hairpin probe.
(2) When pathogenic bacteria are present in the sensing system, the aptamer a on the allosteric probe (i.e., the nucleotide sequences shown in SEQ ID No.1 at positions 1 to 36) will specifically bind to pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus surface-specific protein A), causing the allosteric probe to become allosteric, thereby breaking down the hairpin structure into a linear state, forming an allosteric probe-pathogenic bacteria complex, and exposing the linker sequence b (i.e., the nucleotide sequences shown in SEQ ID No.1 at positions 37 to 60).
(3) One end of the exposed linker sequence b (bases 53 to 60 of SEQ ID No. 1) can be complementarily paired with sequences g and f on the hairpin probe (sequences shown as nucleotides 31 to 62 of SEQ ID No. 2), and the other end (bases 46 to 52 of SEQ ID No. 1) can be complementarily paired with the template sequence (bases 1 to 7 of SEQ ID No. 3), mediating hybridization of the hairpin probe with the allosteric probe-Staphylococcus aureus complex.
(4) Because the two ends of the connecting sequence b are respectively complementary and paired with one chain of the beacon stem region of the hairpin probe and the template sequence, the connecting sequence b is used as a template under the action of DNA ligase to synthesize a complete template chain M (connecting the template sequence c and the sequence g and comprising the sequence c and the sequence g) complementary with the connecting sequence b, so as to form the hairpin probe-allosteric probe-pathogenic bacteria complex.
(5) In the synthesis of the G-rich strand (i.e., the strand extension process), under the action of phi29 enzyme (DNA polymerase), the double helix structure of the template strand M and the connecting sequence b is opened, and the allosteric probe-staphylococcus aureus complex originally connected with the template strand M is released; meanwhile, the 3' end (sequence d) of the other strand of the beacon stem region of the hairpin probe is used as a primer to synthesize a sequence F complementary to the sequence F and a G-rich strand complementary to the template strand M (namely, a sequence shown as N in FIG. 2), so that the sequence N and the primer d are connected through a nucleic acid nicking endonuclease recognition sequence F; the released allosteric probe-staphylococcus aureus complex recognizes another set of hairpin probe and template sequence complexes, mediating signal circulation;
(6) The endonuclease recognition site (i.e., the sequence shown as F in FIG. 2) at the 5' end of the resulting G-rich sequence is capable of being cleaved by the endonuclease recognition and is nicked so that the G-rich sequence is released from the allosteric probe. Under the combined action of endonucleases and polymerases, a large number of G-rich sequences are produced.
(7) The G-rich sequences assemble to form G-tetrahedra, mediating color development: the G-rich sequence is assembled to form a quadruplet under the action of potassium ions and is combined with heme to form a two-dimensional DNA structure with a catalytic effect to catalyze an ATBS-mediated color reaction.
Example 2
The present example was directed to investigate the assembly effect of the allosteric probe provided in example 1.
To investigate the assembly effect of the allosteric probe, fluorescent dye FAM and corresponding quenching dye BHQ were labeled at both ends of the allosteric probe provided in example 1, and whether it was assembled into a stem-loop structure from linearity (the state of the allosteric probe was linear before unassembled after synthesis) was evaluated by detecting fluorescence change before and after assembly of the allosteric probe. The allosteric probe used in this example was the allosteric probe provided in example 1, and was labeled with a FAM group at the 5 'end and a BHQ group (labeled by the company of biotechnology, ltd) at the 3' end.
Preparing an allosteric probe solution: the aforementioned fluorogenic labeled allosteric probe solution of FAM group and BHQ group labeled by Biotechnology Co., ltd was prepared as 10. Mu.M fluorogenic labeled allosteric probe solution with DEPC water, which is abbreviated as allosteric probe solution in this example.
The systems to be detected in each group are prepared as follows:
(1) Linear group (referred to as linear in fig. 2): taking 10 mu L of 10 mu M of the allosteric probe solution, namely the solution to be detected containing the allosteric probe in a linear state.
(2) Hairpin structure group (referred to as hairpin structure in fig. 2): 10 mu M of an allosteric probe solution (10 mu M) was taken, heated to 90 ℃ and incubated for 10min, and then the solution was gradually cooled to room temperature to obtain a solution to be detected (10 mu M) containing an allosteric probe with a hairpin structure.
(3) Cp+sa group: preparation of an allosteric Probe solution (10. Mu.M) containing hairpin structures according to the hairpin Structure group, 10. Mu.L of the allosteric Probe solution containing hairpin structures was taken with a concentration of 10. Mu.L of 2. Mu.L 4 After mixed incubation of cfu/mL of Staphylococcus aureus Solution (SA) for 30 minutes, the solutions to be tested of the CP+SA group were obtained.
(4) Cp+cea group: preparation of an allosteric probe solution (10. Mu.M) containing hairpin structure according to hairpin structure group, mixing and culturing 10. Mu.L of allosteric probe solution containing hairpin structure with 2. Mu.L of carcinoembryonic antigen CEA solution (purchased from Takara Biotech) for 30min to obtain the solution to be detected of CP+CEA group.
(5) Cp+pct group: preparation of an allosteric probe solution containing hairpin structure according to hairpin structure group (10. Mu.M), mixing and culturing 10. Mu.L of allosteric probe solution containing hairpin structure with 2. Mu.L of procalcitonin PCT solution (purchased from Takara Biotech) for 30 minutes to obtain the solution to be detected of CP+PCT group.
The fluorescence signal intensity (a.u.) in the three groups of samples was detected by using a fluorescence spectrophotometer, and the result is shown in fig. 2, and the fluorescence intensity of the linear probe group is higher than that of the hairpin structure group, so that after the allosteric probe provided in example 1 is assembled into the hairpin structure by high-temperature annealing and renaturation, the 5 '-end-labeled FAM group is quenched due to the closer distance between the FAM group and the 3' -end-labeled BHQ group, resulting in lower fluorescence intensity of the hairpin structure group. Meanwhile, the fluorescence intensity of the CP+SA group is higher than that of the CP+CEA group and the CP+PCT group, which shows that the assembled allosteric probe can be specifically combined with staphylococcus aureus in a system, so that the assembled allosteric probe becomes linear, and stronger fluorescence intensity is detected, and the CP+CEA group and the CP+PCT group cannot be identified by the allosteric probe because CEA and PCT cannot cause the allosteric probe to become allosteric to excite a fluorescence signal. Therefore, the allosteric probe provided in the embodiment 1 is incubated at 90 ℃ for 10min and gradually cooled to room temperature, so that the card starting structure can be assembled well, and the allosteric probe has higher specificity to staphylococcus aureus.
Example 3
The purpose of this example is to verify that DNA polymerase, nicking endonuclease (Nb.BbvCI) and heme are necessary to detect Staphylococcus aureus using the method provided by the invention, i.e., to provide a method of detecting Staphylococcus aureus.
Preparing an allosteric probe solution: the allosteric probe provided in example 1 was prepared into a 2 μm solution of the allosteric probe with DEPC water, and the solution was incubated at 90 ℃ for 10min and gradually cooled to room temperature to obtain an assembled allosteric probe, which was abbreviated as an allosteric probe solution in the following.
Hairpin probe solution preparation: the hairpin probe provided in example 1 was prepared into a 2. Mu.M hairpin probe solution with DEPC water, and the assembled hairpin probe was obtained by incubating at 90℃for 10min and gradually cooling to room temperature, followed by abbreviated as an allosteric probe solution.
Template sequence solution: the template sequence provided in example 1 was formulated with DEPC water as a 2. Mu.M template sequence solution.
The systems to be detected in each group are prepared as follows:
(1) The DNA polymerase + endonuclease + Heme group (i.e. the groups are all present in fig. 3): after 10. Mu.L of the allosteric probe (assembled state) was mixed with 2. Mu.L of the target (Staphylococcus aureus solution) and incubated for 20 minutes, 10. Mu.L of the hairpin probe solution (assembled state) and the template sequence solution were added to the system and mixed and incubated for 20 minutes. Then 10. Mu.L of T4 DNA ligase was added, and the DNA ligase was inactivated by heating to 65℃after 30 minutes of incubation at room temperature. Then, 2. Mu.L of phi29 DNA polymerase and 2. Mu.L of Nb.BbvCI endonuclease were added to the above solution and incubated for 60 minutes, and then 2. Mu.L of potassium ion and 2. Mu.L of heme (heme) were added to the solution to obtain a product solution. 180. Mu.L TMB-H 2 O 2 Mixing the substrate solution with 20 mu L of the product solution, if oxidation-reduction reaction occurs, the mixed solution is yellow, otherwise, the mixed solution does not change color, and the final solution is obtained after reaction for 5 min. The blue solution was subjected to ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopic analysis using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The final solution of the experimental group (staphylococcus aureus present) was counted as F at a value of absorbance at 480 nm.
