Description

Standardized DNA methylation detection standard, preparation method, fixed value method and application thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a standardized DNA methylation detection standard substance, a preparation method, a value fixing method and application thereof.
Background
DNA methylation plays an important regulatory role in the growth, development, pattern of gene expression, and stability of the genome of individuals, and is closely related to the occurrence of certain tumors and genetic diseases. In human genome, about 70% -80% of CpG dinucleotides are in a DNA methylation state, unmethylated CpG is unevenly distributed, and a plurality of areas with higher GC content and relatively aggregated CpG dinucleotides are formed, namely CpG islands, and abnormal methylation of the CpG islands is often accompanied with diseases such as cancers and the like. In mammalian genomes, DNA methylation occurs at the 5-carbon atom of cytosine in CpG dinucleotides, and tumor occurrence is manifested by a decrease in the overall methylation level of the genome and an abnormally elevated local methylation level of CpG islands. Thus, changes in the overall methylation level (i.e., methylation profile) of DNA and the methylation level of a particular gene can be used as a diagnostic indicator of a tumor.
In recent years, with the continuous development of high-throughput detection technology, the genome DNA methylation detection method is mature, and the method becomes one of important means for molecular diagnosis of related tumors and genetic diseases in the future. In the prior art, cells positive for methylation of a target sequence are found through searching a literature, and the modified bisDNA is used as a positive control, so that the DNA methylation level cannot be accurately estimated. With the continuous perfection and development of biotechnology, DNA methylation detection lacks a unified detection standard which can be accurately quantified. In addition, the existing fluorescent quantitative fixed value method for the DNA methylation detection standard substance has higher sequencing cost, higher sample quality requirement, can not give the methylation degree of a single gene, and can only simply carry out primary evaluation on the high-medium-low methylation level of the sample.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a standard substance and a preparation and determination method thereof, which make the DNA methylation detection result more reliable and accurate.

DNA methylation is an important component of epigenetic science, playing an important role in maintaining normal cellular function, genetic imprinting, embryo development, and human tumorigenesis. Methylation of DNA is the conversion of cytosine at the 5' end of CpG dinucleotides to methylcytosine by the action of DNA methyltransferase. This way of DNA modification regulates the expression of the gene. CpG sequences occur only 1% frequently in the genome, much less frequently than other dinucleotide sequences in the genome. However, in some regions of the genome, the density of CpG sequences is very high, which can be more than 5 times the mean, and become an enrichment region of guanine and cytosine, forming CpG islands. CpG islands are typically located in the promoter region or first exon region of a gene. In the genome of a healthy person, cpG sites in CpG islands are usually in an unmethylated state, whereas CpG sites outside CpG islands are usually methylated. When a tumor occurs, the degree of unmethylation of CpG sequences other than the CpG island of the cancer suppressor gene increases, and the CpG in the CpG island is in a highly methylated state, so that the degree of chromosome helicity increases and the expression of the cancer suppressor gene is lost. Thus, changes in the overall methylation level (i.e., methylation profile) of DNA and the methylation level of a particular gene can be used as a diagnostic indicator of a tumor.
Abnormal gene methylation is one of the most common epigenetic changes in tumorigenesis, which is manifested by a decrease in the overall methylation level of the genome (oncogene) and an abnormal increase in the local methylation level of CpG islands (oncogene inhibitor). Current research on tumor methylation has focused mainly on oncogenes. This is because it was found that tumor occurrence may be associated with the turn-off of the oncogene due to methylation of CpG islands in the promoter region of the oncogene. Since the local hypermethylation of CpG islands is earlier than the malignant proliferation of cells, diagnosis of methylation can be used for early prediction of tumorigenesis, and hypomethylation of the whole genome also occurs with tumorigenesis, and it is significant with increasing malignancy of tumors, so detection of methylation can be used for grading of tumors.
In recent years, with the continuous development of high-throughput detection technology, the genome DNA methylation detection method is mature, and the method becomes one of important means for molecular diagnosis of related tumors and genetic diseases in the future. Methylation detection can now be broadly divided into two categories: methylation detection at specific sites and methylation analysis of the whole genome, the latter also known as methylation profile analysis. Methylation detection of specific sites includes methylation-specific PCR (MS-PCR), bisulfite treatment+sequencing, restriction enzyme analysis with sodium bisulfite, fluorescent quantitation, methylation-sensitive high resolution melting curve analysis, pyrosequencing. However, with the continuous perfection and development of technology, DNA methylation detection has not yet had a unified detection standard capable of accurately quantifying, and has become a problem to be solved in the development process of methylation detection kits.
Several methylation detection standards are currently common in the art, which are prepared mainly by: (1) The target sequence methylation positive cells are found through searching the literature, the modified bisDNA is used as a positive control, the operation process is complicated, a large amount of literature investigation and subsequent verification work are required in the early stage, the method is not suitable for the research of polygene methylation or new target methylation projects, the methylation level cannot be accurately estimated, and in addition, the stability of the bisDNA is poor. (2) Commercial methylation positive controls were purchased, but were more expensive, commercial standards were fewer, methylation level data were not detailed, product customization cycles were longer, and large differences between methylation levels were observed.
Methylation-specific PCR is a classical method for detecting gene methylation. The principle is that the original genomic DNA is first modified with sodium bisulphite, all unmethylated cytosines (C) are converted to uracil (U), while methylated cytosines are unchanged. Primers for methylated and unmethylated sequences are then designed and amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and the difference can be detected by using different primers for PCR, thereby determining whether the gene has CpG island methylation.
The invention provides a standardized DNA methylation standard substance and a preparation and value-determining method thereof by artificially synthesizing a segment of oligonucleotide sequence containing a target gene fragment, wherein the 5 'end and the 3' end of the sequence respectively comprise a segment of housekeeping gene oligonucleotide sequence (SEQ ID No.1 and SEQ ID No. 2) with a specific sequence, combining CpG methylation enzyme (M.SssI) treatment to obtain a methylated oligonucleotide sequence containing the target gene fragment, and combining a digital PCR technology to accurately quantify the concentration and the methylation level. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, sample DNA is modified by CpG methylase (m.sssi), which recognizes and methylates all cs in CpG to match the DNA status of the ideal biological genome, and mimics the modification pattern of the biological genome, thus being useful as a positive control. The positive control is used as a DNA methylation detection standard system, so that the reliability of a detection result can be ensured, the detection is quick and simple, the time and the detection cost are saved, and the subsequent quantitative detection of the methylation level of a detection site in a sample by combining a real-time quantitative PCR technology is facilitated.
In one aspect, the present application provides a standardized DNA methylation detection standard, which is prepared from an original DNA sample and a methylated DNA sample obtained by methylation of the original DNA sample, wherein the original DNA sample includes a target gene fragment, a first nucleotide fragment and a second nucleotide fragment, the first nucleotide fragment is a nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No.1, the second nucleotide fragment is a nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No.2, the methylated DNA sample includes a target gene fragment after methylation, a third nucleotide fragment after methylation of the first nucleotide fragment, and a fourth nucleotide fragment after methylation of the second nucleotide fragment, the third nucleotide fragment is a nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No.3, and the fourth nucleotide fragment is a nucleotide sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 4.
In some embodiments, the first and third nucleotide fragments are human ACTB housekeeping gene nucleotide fragments that do not contain CG continuous bases, and the second and fourth nucleotide fragments are human ACTB housekeeping gene nucleotide fragments that contain multiple CG continuous bases. The original DNA sequence and methylated DNA sequence of the standard are shown in table 1.
Table 1 original DNA sequence and methylated DNA sequence of Standard

Figure BDA0004174175190000061
In some embodiments, the third nucleotide fragment is used to detect the total amount of DNA in the standard and the fourth nucleotide fragment is used to detect the amount of DNA methylated in the standard. Specifically, after denaturation and melting of double-stranded DNA, since methylation modification occurs only at C of CG continuous base structure in 5 'to 3' direction, and the third nucleotide fragment does not contain CG continuous base, the fourth nucleotide fragment contains CG continuous base, therefore, in HSO 3 - After the action, the third nucleotide fragment is not methylated, and the base CG in the sequence is changed into UG; methylation of the fourth nucleotide fragment maintains the base CG in the sequence as CG. Thus, the third nucleotide fragment can be used to detect the total amount of DNA in the standard and the fourth nucleotide fragment can be used to detect the amount of methylated DNA in the standard.
In the quality control of the methyltransferase modification efficiency, the DNA subjected to the M.SsssI treatment can be subjected to sulfuration purification treatment by adopting a bisulfite conversion kit to obtain bisM.SsssI DNA; the total bisDNA amount and bisDNA methylation amount are measured, and the methyltransferase enzyme modification efficiency is calculated, wherein the specific formula is as follows:
transfer efficiency= (amount of bisDNA methylation/amount of total bisDNA) ×100% (1)
In some embodiments, the methyltransferase enzyme transfer efficiency is not less than 90%.
In some embodiments, the gene of interest comprises one or more of septin9, SHOX2, RASSF1A, RNF180, SDC2, MGMT, BMP3, NDRG 4.

The methylation duty cycle of the standard may be between 0% and 100%.
In some embodiments, the methyltransferase is a CpG methyltransferase.
In some embodiments, configuring DNA methylation detection standards of different methylation duty cycles based on the original DNA sample and the methylated DNA sample may include: purifying and recovering the methylated DNA sample, and calculating the recovery efficiency of the purified DNA sample; based on the original DNA sample and the purified methylated DNA sample, DNA methylation detection standards of different methylation duty cycles are configured. For example, a methylated DNA sample at a concentration of 1 ng/. Mu.L was mixed with the original DNA sample at a concentration of 1:19 (V: V), to prepare a standard having a methylation ratio of 5% at a concentration of 1 ng/. Mu.L. As another example, a methylated DNA sample at a concentration of 0.5 ng/. Mu.L was mixed with the original DNA sample at a concentration of 1:99 (V: V), to prepare a standard having a methylation ratio of 1% at a concentration of 0.5 ng/. Mu.L. In some embodiments, the methylated DNA sample can be purified using a PCR product purification kit, and the purification step can include: the eluent was added for research purposes and its theoretical DNA concentration was calculated, while the actual concentration was determined for the purified DNA with a qubit and its recovery efficiency during purification was calculated. In some embodiments, the recovery efficiency is not less than 90%.
In some embodiments, configuring DNA methylation detection standards of different methylation duty cycles based on the original DNA sample and the methylated DNA sample comprises: performing bisulfite conversion on the methylated DNA sample to obtain a vulcanized methylated DNA sample; and measuring the total vulcanized DNA amount and the vulcanized methylated DNA amount in the vulcanized methylated DNA sample, and calculating the transfer efficiency of the methyltransferase modification, wherein the transfer efficiency is not lower than 90%.
