Primer and fluorescent probe for detecting EGFR mutant gene and application of primer and fluorescent probe
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and relates to a primer and a fluorescent probe for detecting EGFR mutant genes and application thereof.
Background
There are many kinds of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, and there are mainly four types: exon 19 deletion mutations, exon 21 point mutations, exon 18 point mutations and exon 20 insertion mutations. The mutations are classified into sensitive mutations, 90% of which belong to 19del and L858R mutations, and G719X, L861Q, S768I mutations, which are mainly T790M and 20ins mutations, occur in a small number of cases. EGFR-sensitive mutations can be treated with targeted inhibitors with good efficacy and drug-resistant mutations require replacement of new drugs to obtain an optimal therapeutic regimen.
The current gene mutation detection method mainly comprises three major types of a first generation sequencing (Sanger sequencing) method, an ARMS method based on fluorescent quantification of a point mutation difficult-to-amplify mutation system (ARMS) and a second generation sequencing method. The sequencing detection period of the first generation sequencing method is long (1-2 days are needed), the sensitivity is low, and more than 10% of mutation can be detected; although ARMS has become the most common method for detecting gene mutation, its sensitivity is only 1%. The NGS method has the disadvantages of low sensitivity of about 1%, high requirement on samples, large dosage and complicated operation. The cfDNA content in the plasma cfDNA is mostly below 1%, so the sensitivity of the above three detection techniques is not satisfied. For example, CN109457018A discloses an EGFR mutant gene detection method based on multiple fluorescence, which comprises preparing a plurality of specific ARMS amplification primers for different EGFR mutant genes and a blocker capable of inhibiting wild type gene amplification, amplifying fragments containing mutant genes in a sample to be detected, judging whether corresponding EGFR gene mutation exists in different samples according to fluorescence values, wherein the sensitivity of the method is only 1%, and 3-tube detection of a plurality of base mutation forms cannot be effectively realized at the same time, so that accurate quantification cannot be realized.
The digital PCR is a third generation PCR technology, the statistics is that the total number of single molecules is counted, each reaction unit can be theoretically made into a single copy template, absolute quantification of nucleic acid molecules can be realized, and the digital PCR has extremely high detection sensitivity which can be less than 0.1%, so that the digital PCR is very suitable for detecting important mutation sites of genes such as EGFR, KRAS and the like of cfDNA in blood. For example, CN108642154a discloses a primer probe combination and a kit for detecting EGFR mutation sites and application thereof, and adopts a digital PCR amplification method, the sensitivity is higher, but the detected EGFR mutation sites are single, the number of detectable base mutation forms is only 29, the minimum detection limit is less than or equal to 0.2%, and the detection cost is higher.
In view of the foregoing, there is a need to develop a primer and a fluorescent probe for detecting EGFR mutant gene, which can detect EGFR mutation with high accuracy, reproducibility, short period and high sensitivity.

extracting cfDNA from a sample to be detected as a template, performing multiple-droplet digital PCR amplification by using the primer for detecting EGFR mutant genes and the fluorescent probe according to the first aspect, and judging according to a fluorescent PCR amplification result.
The free DNA (cfDNA) can replace tissues or be used as a supplement for tissue detection, so that the problem that a conventional specimen for detecting EGFR gene mutation is a pathological tissue or cytological specimen is solved, but tissue material has traumatic defects, is not affected by the size and the position of a tumor, and is convenient to sample.
cfDNA detection of EGFR gene mutations still presents some challenges: (1) The plasma cfDNA content varies from person to person and most people are low; (2) cfDNA fragments are short, at most about 180 bp; (3) The cfDNA content of the cfDNA from tumor cells is mostly below 1%, even only one ten thousandth of the total cfDNA can be occupied, so the sensitivity and specificity requirements on the detection technology are high.

Tube 3:
tube 3 internal reference copy number = L861Q mutant copy number + L861Q wild copy number.
The L861Q mutation frequency was calculated by: L861Q mutation frequency = L861Q mutation copy number/(tube 3 internal reference copy number).
The calculation mode of the S768I mutation frequency is as follows: S768I mutation frequency = S768I mutation copy number/(tube 3 internal reference copy number).
It can be understood that the mutation frequency can be calculated by using an instrument detection value or a copy number in the invention, and the copy number can be calculated by the following way: copy number = instrument measurement (copy/μl) x generated droplet volume (nL, read in instrument) x effective droplet number (read in instrument measurement)/1000.

Example 3
And (5) testing system performance.
After the multiple system was set up, the system performance was tested and verified using commercial cell lines (H1650, 20ins, G719S (c.2155G > a), S768I, L861Q, purchased from kolbe), positive plasmids (T790M, L858R (c.G > T), L858R (c.gt > TG), C797S (c.2389T > a), C797S (c.2390G > C), L747S (c.2440T > C), purchased from Shanghai strapdown) as follows.
(1) Wild type maximum tolerance test.
When a mutation frequency detection system is developed, false positive results can be caused by too high sample loading of two wild types, or positive points can appear in a single positive area or a double positive area for a negative sample which is normally loaded, and the maximum point number needs to be determined, so that the maximum sample loading of the sample needs to be confirmed.
With wild type gDNA broken by ultrasound as a template, adding 100 ng, 80 ng, 60 ng, 40 ng and 20 ng templates into a single reaction tube respectively, wherein the maximum tolerance results of the wild type gDNA of the tube 1, the tube 2 and the tube 3 are respectively shown in figures 8a, 8b, 8c, 9a, 9b, 10a and 10b, and when the input amount of the wild type template of the tube 3 reaches 100 ng, the number of mutant single-positive regions or fluorescent signals is <1. The wild-type maximum tolerance of each of tubes 1, 2, 3 was determined to be 100 ng.

First, the ultrasound-disrupted wild-type gDNA, H1975, H1650, 20ins, G719S (c.2155G > A), S768I, L861Q cell lines were quantified for the first time and the concentrations were determined. Then, the wild-type gDNA disrupted by sonication was used as a diluent, and H1975, H1650, 20ins, G719S (c.2155G > A), S768I, L861Q cell lines were diluted to prepare 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.2%, 0.1% mutation frequency samples, and the above samples were examined 3 times, and 4 times, respectively, and the results of the examination were subjected to linear analysis, and the results are shown in FIGS. 16 to 22.
(5) Minimum detection limit verification
Tube 1, with ultrasound-disrupted wild-type gDNA as diluent, was diluted with H1975 and H1650 cell lines (from Kebai) to prepare samples with a mutation frequency of 0.1% and then the samples were repeatedly examined 20 times, and the results are shown in FIGS. 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, with a detection rate of 100% and no less than 95%, indicating that the minimum detection limit of tube 1in the system was 0.1%.
Tube 2, with ultrasound-disrupted wild-type gDNA as diluent, was diluted with a 20ins cell line and a G719X cell line to prepare a 0.1% mutation frequency sample, which was then repeatedly tested 20 times, and the results are shown in FIGS. 24a, 24b, 24c, with a detection rate of 100% or more than 95%, indicating that the minimum detection limit of tube 2in the system was 0.1% mutation rate.
Tube 3, with ultrasound-disrupted wild-type gDNA as diluent, was diluted with L861Q cell line and S768I cell line to prepare 0.1% mutation frequency samples, which were then repeatedly tested 20 times, with the results shown in fig. 25a, 25b, 25c, and the detection rates of 100%, both being greater than or equal to 95%, indicating that the minimum detection limit of tube 3 in the system was 0.1% mutation rate.
(6) Precision testing
Samples of 3 groups of 0.2% mutation frequencies were each tested 20 times and then analyzed for a test value CV, wherein the CV of T790M, L858R, 19del in tube 1 was 4.91%, 3.07%, 0.72%, respectively; CV of 20INS and G719X in tube 2 was 2.85% and 3.65% respectively; the CV of S768I, L861Q in the tube 3 is 2.8% and 0.9%, respectively, and the CV of each site is less than 5%, so that the precision is good.
