Description
Technical Field
The present application relates to a method of detecting the methylation state of a DNA molecule in a sample, and to a kit for detecting the methylation state of a DNA molecule in a sample.
Background
DNA methylation is associated with many physiological, pathological factors, carrying a large amount of biological information. The occurrence and progression of cancer is accompanied by changes in the pattern of DNA methylation, including DNA hypomethylation of reverse transcription elements, centromeres and proto-oncogenes, and methylation of key gene regulatory elements associated with gene suppression (e.g., overlapping regions of distal enhancers and promoter transcription initiation). Most CpG sites in the normal genome carry 5mC, while the distal enhancer element and CpG island region are resistant to the activity of methyltransferase DNMT, and the silencing of oncogene underexpression and DNA damage repair genes is an important mechanism for carcinogenesis. Cancer cells are primarily characterized by an overall range of unmethylated genetic modifications, rather than abnormal methylation sites within enhancer and promoter regions. This change in methylation profile results in inhibition of tumor suppressor gene expression, accompanied by an increase in protooncogene expression, thereby further promoting tumor development and progression, and therefore detection of gene methylation is more suitable as a marker for cancer detection.
In terms of detection technology, traditional pyrosequencing is considered as a "gold standard" of methylation detection, and pyrosequencing technology is an enzyme cascade chemiluminescent reaction in the same reaction system catalyzed by 4 enzymes, and the reaction system of pyrosequencing technology consists of a reaction substrate, a single strand to be detected, a sequencing primer and 4 enzymes. The 4 enzymes are respectively: the reaction substrates of the DNA polymerase, the ATP sulfurylase, the luciferase and the apyrase are 5' -phosphosulfate (APS) and fluorescein, and the reaction system also comprises a DNA single strand to be sequenced and a sequencing primer. After annealing the primer and the template DNA, under the synergistic effect of 4 enzymes of DNA polymerase, ATP sulfurylase, luciferase and apyrase, the polymerization of each dNTP on the primer is coupled with the release of a primary fluorescence signal, and the purpose of measuring the DNA sequence in real time is achieved by detecting the release and the intensity of fluorescence. However, since the pyrosequencing template is based on a bisulfite converted sequence, it is difficult to design primers, and it is impossible to design appropriate primers for detection of a part of methylation sites, and the actual level of detection is greatly different for samples with low methylation levels (< 10%).
In addition, the targeted methylation detection technology based on liquid phase hybridization is a high-throughput and accurate methylation detection method. It can more accurately recognize methylation sites and obtain deeper methylation information than Whole Genome Bisulfite Sequencing (WGBS). However, the liquid phase hybridization capture procedure is very time consuming, requiring 2-4 days from nucleic acid extraction to capture library acquisition; meanwhile, the hybridization capture is complicated in reagent types and abnormal in operation flow, the technical requirements on operators are high, and the performance of the captured library can be influenced when any link in the middle is problematic. These links become key technical bottlenecks that limit the development of liquid phase hybridization capture.

Detailed Description
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.
The term "or" refers to a single element of a list of selectable elements unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The term "and/or" means any one, any two, any three, any more, or all of the listed selectable elements.
The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and similar referents used herein do not exclude the presence of unrecited elements. These terms also include cases consisting of only the recited elements.
"DNA molecule" refers herein to a deoxyribonucleic acid, a polymer of deoxyribonucleotides. It may be in double-stranded form, single-stranded form, or, for a population of DNA molecules, may include double-stranded DNA molecules, and may also include single-stranded DNA molecules. The DNA molecule may be of any length, for example, genomic DNA, DNA fragments or extracellular free DNA. Free DNA refers to DNA that is free outside of the cell or nucleus and can be extracted from a variety of biological materials including, but not limited to, body fluids, in vitro cell culture fluids, natural environments, and the like: peripheral blood, plasma, serum, urine, feces, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, lymph, etc. The free DNA can be obtained by extraction and purification. "DNA fragment" refers herein to a shorter DNA molecule, for example having a length of between 50bp and 700 bp, for example 100 bp and 500 bp, in particular 100 bp to 350 bp. The DNA fragments contained in a biological sample are typically heterogeneous, i.e. of unequal length, and accordingly, the above-mentioned length may refer to the length average of these DNA fragments. These DNA fragments may have different sequences, for example from different regions of the genome of the same organism, or even from different organisms. The DNA fragment may be single-stranded, blunt-ended or non-blunt-ended (with 3 'or 5' overhang).
"DNA methylation" refers herein to methylation modification of bases in a DNA molecule or DNA fragment, in particular cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (5 mC). DNA methylation in vertebrates typically occurs at CpG sites (i.e., sites in the DNA sequence immediately following cytosine by guanine) and is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases to convert cytosine to 5-methylcytosine. Most CpG sites in the human genome have been methylated, but in certain specific regions, such as CpG islands rich in cytosine (C) and guanine (G), are typically unmethylated. CpG methylation can affect transcriptional activity of related genes, e.g., methylation can inhibit cancer suppressor genes, whereas demethylation can stimulate the expression of certain oncogenes, which can lead to the occurrence of cancer. In addition, although the incidence is less than 5mC, few cytosine bases are modified to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5 hmC), 5-formylation (5 fC), 5-carboxylation (5 caC). References herein to methylation may also refer to modifications as 5hmC, 5fC, 5caC unless the context indicates otherwise.
"cytosine base methylation state" or "DNA methylation state" refers herein to information about the methylation status in a DNA molecule or DNA fragment, including, but not limited to, the methylation site, the level of methylation, the manner of methylation (e.g., 5mC or 5 hmC), and the like. "methylation level," which may also be referred to as "degree of methylation," refers to the proportion (or frequency) of methylation modification of a particular methylation site in a sample. Whether a site is methylated can be detected in a number of ways. Common methods include chemical or enzymatic conversion methods in which one of methylated cytosine and unmethylated cytosine is converted to uracil (U) or a base substantially identical to uracil in base pairing (e.g., dihydrouracil, DHU). In a subsequent amplification process, the corresponding uracil is paired with adenine (A) as thymine (T), with the end result that the cytosine or methylated cytosine at the methylation site is represented as thymine in the detection result (e.g., sequencing result). By comparison with the reference sequence, it is possible to determine whether or not the cytosine in the DNA molecule or DNA fragment is methylated. The reference sequence may be a sequence from the same sample but not transformed as described above, or a corresponding sequence in a healthy population. The 5mC and 5hmC can also be distinguished by some means. Currently, DNA methylation information has been widely used in cancer (e.g., lung cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer, etc.) screening and diagnosis, particularly early screening and diagnosis. In addition, the identification of methylation status may also be used for non-diagnostic (or therapeutic) purposes, e.g., for scientific research, such as analysis of factors affecting methylation, methylation effects on gene function, or for detection of methylation standards, etc.
"Capture probe" or "hybridization Capture probe" refers herein to a single-stranded DNA fragment that is used to hybridize to a transformed target DNA molecule (or fragment thereof). In a preferred embodiment of the present application, the capture probes are probes in the form of μcaler (see chinese patent publication CN116083423a or CN114891859a for the design of μcaler probes, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety), such probes comprising a target-specific sequence, a first probe-binding sequence located 5 'to said target-specific sequence and a second probe-binding sequence located 3' to said target-specific sequence, the first probe-binding sequence being at least partially complementary to the second probe-binding sequence such that when two capture probes or more capture probes bind to said target sequence in an adjacent manner, complementary binding can be formed between adjacent capture probes by said first probe-binding sequence and said second probe-binding sequence. In a preferred embodiment, the first and second probe binding sequences are 8-30nt in length; the length of the target-specific sequence is 20-80nt. The use of a probe in the form of a μCaler has at least the benefit of significantly improving the binding capacity of the probe to the target, improving the efficiency of hybridization capture to the target region, improving overall coverage uniformity and stability over conventional capture probes (such as conventional 120 base probes as mentioned in the examples below). The capture probes may typically bear a detachable tag, such as biotin or the like, to isolate the target DNA molecule to which the probe is bound. The methylation status can be determined by sequencing the different target DNA molecules isolated (optionally PCR amplified) to obtain their sequence information.
"DNA library" as used herein refers to a library of sample DNA molecules that have undergone end repair and linker (e.g., methylated linker) ligation. Optionally, the DNA molecule may be fragmented prior to end repair to form 200-250bp DNA fragments. "methylation library" refers herein to a library of transformed DNA. "transformation" herein includes the chemical or enzymatic transformations mentioned above, the purpose of which is to distinguish between methylated and unmethylated cytosine bases. "targeted methylation library" refers herein to a collection of DNA molecules that are capable of binding to the capture probes used, obtained by subjecting the methylation library to further hybridization capture processing. Sequencing the targeted methylation library can achieve higher sequencing depth, uniformity, etc. with reduced sequencing costs.
"Single-stranded oligonucleotide blocking reagent", "methylation blocking reagent (MeBlocker)" or "blocking reagent" herein refers to a single-stranded oligonucleotide for specific binding to repetitive sequences generated after transformation that prevents binding of capture probes to these regions of high reproducibility, thereby improving hybridization capture efficiency. The single stranded oligonucleotide blocking reagents may have different nucleotide sequences, which may be used alone or in combination.
Provided herein is a novel targeted methylation library hybridization capture method, the flow of which comprises the preparation of a methylation library from the construction of the methylation library to the targeted methylation library, providing a detection method capable of recognizing the methylation state of a single base. The detection method comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps of constructing a methylation library and carrying out hybridization capture on the novel targeted methylation library, wherein the hybridization capture of the novel targeted methylation library comprises sampling the methylation library, hybridizing the methylation library, capturing the methylation library, eluting the methylation library at normal temperature, amplifying the targeted methylation library and purifying the targeted methylation library, and the purified targeted methylation library is the targeted methylation sequencing library. The method can be used for detecting the single-base methylation state in the nucleic acid samples from various sources, shortens the experimental time, simplifies the experimental process and effectively improves the accuracy of the single-base methylation state.
In some embodiments, a methylation blocking reagent (MeBlocker) is added to the hybridization capture system to increase the hybridization capture efficiency of the transformed library. The blocking reagent is composed of a nucleic acid sequence that is capable of specifically binding to the transformed repetitive sequence. The blocking reagent sequence may include 5-7 LNA or BNA modified bases that increase the binding efficiency of the sequence to the target. After conversion of some of the high GC regions, they become AT rich regions, and probes bind to these high repetition regions, capturing more non-target regions.
In some embodiments, the blocking reagent sequence is a contiguous T base, 15-18 in length; or a repetitive GT sequence, the number of repetitions being 6-8; or repeating TA bases, the number of the repeats being 6-8. The blocking reagent sequence may include 5-7 LNA or BNA modified bases.
In some embodiments, the hybridization capture system is optimized for the capture probe usage scheme, with a final methylation probe concentration of 1-2fmol, and an optimal concentration of 1fmol.
In some embodiments, the hybridization system comprises a capture probe, 1 XHyb Buffer, 1 XEnhance, 1ug Human Cot-1, and 100pmmol of a blocking linker sequence of a blocking linker and a Meblocking linker of 100 um.
In comparison with pyrosequencing, pyrosequencing is difficult to design due to primer design for sequences (low sequence complexity, repeated base-based) after BS transformation. The method is designed aiming at small Panel (< 10 kb), and can be designed aiming at methylation sites contained in promoter regions of different genes, so that the number of detected methylation sites is large, the flux is high, and the accuracy of methylation level is high.
Compared with the traditional targeted methylation hybridization capture sequencing, the detection method optimizes the experimental flow, shortens the experimental time, can finish the targeted methylation hybridization capture operation within 4 hours, shortens the system flow time by 14-15 hours, and can construct the targeted methylation hybridization capture library within one day. The detection method flow comprises the preparation of methylation library construction to targeted methylation capture libraries.
Construction of methylation library and preparation of targeted methylation Capture library the flow scheme for the preparation of the methylation-captured library is shown in FIG. 1. The process is suitable for constructing methylation libraries of genomic DNA, plasma free DNA or FFPE samples. The flow is briefly described as follows:
construction of methylation library: the genome DNA is broken into 200-250bp DNA fragments by using an ultrasonic breaking mode; end repair, methylation linker ligation, conversion of linker ligation products using a bisulfite conversion module, PCR amplification using an amplification enzyme capable of recognizing U bases (e.g., KAPA HiFi HotStart Uracil Mix), and quantification of methylation libraries using a Qubit quantification reagent are performed on genomic DNA, plasma free DNA, or FFPE samples.
Preparation of targeted methylation-captured libraries: selecting a methylation library meeting the requirements, performing hybridization, streptavidin magnetic bead capturing and eluting, performing PCR amplification after eluting, performing magnetic bead purification on the amplified product, and sequencing the purified product by using an Illumina Nova-Seq sequencer. Compared with the traditional targeted methylation hybridization capture sequencing, the method optimizes the experimental flow and shortens the experimental time.

Conclusion: the results are shown in FIG. 4. From the figure, the novel hybrid capture sequencing is closer to the theoretical methylation level of the sample than the pyrophosphoric acid sequencing detection data. For samples with methylation levels below 10%, the results of the pyrosequencing detection deviate from the theoretical value. The methylation detection protocol of the present application is applicable to detection of 0-100% level samples.
Example 3:
in liquid phase hybridization capture, probe concentration is one of the important factors affecting the capture effect. When the probe concentration is low, the chance of binding of the probe to the target sequence may be reduced, thereby affecting the capturing effect. In liquid phase hybridization, proper probe concentration may increase specificity and sensitivity, but too high a concentration may result in non-specific binding and increased background signal. Therefore, the balance of capture effect and background signal needs to be balanced when selecting probe concentration. Typically, the probe concentration is optimized experimentally to obtain the best capture effect.

the hybrid capture system captures a transformed library in a transformation mode including a Bisulfite (BS) transformation mode or an EM transformation mode, and the complexity of the transformed sequence is greatly reduced no matter which transformation mode is used. After the transformation of some high GC regions, the regions become AT rich regions, and other regions have continuous base T, so that hybridization capture probes have certain fault tolerance, and the probes can capture targets by having homology of more than 60% with target sequences, which is the advantage of the liquid phase hybridization capture technology. For the transformed library, probes will bind to these regions of high reproducibility, capturing more non-target regions, resulting in an increased proportion of off-target. And a blocking reagent is added into the hybridization capture system, so that the hybridization capture efficiency of the converted library is improved. The blocking reagent sequence is continuous T bases, and the length of the T bases is 15-18; or a repetitive GT sequence, the number of repetitions being 6-8; or repeating TA bases, the number of the repeats being 6-8. The sequence contains 4-7 LNA (locked nucleic acid) or BNA (bridged nucleic acid) modified bases. Such modified bases can increase the binding efficiency of the sequence to the target. The blocking sequence used in this example was MeBlockerA: TTT+TTT +TTT+ ttt+tt+tt; meBlockerB: GTG+TGT+GT+GTGTGT (+stands for LNA modified base) as the latter base. The blocking reagent working solution concentration was 100. Mu.M. In this example, the stability of the hybrid capture system was compared with or without adding a blocking sequence of MeBlockerA and MeBlockerB mixed in equal proportions, the final concentration of the single blocking sequence in the system being 100. Mu.M.

(3) Conclusion: as shown in Table 10, in the target methylation detection method, the Me-Blocker can be added to improve the capturing targeting rate, the sequencing depth and the stability. In the 2 sets of conditions tested, there was no difference in comparison of the basic QC data, the data contrast ratio of the whole genome reached 99%, fold 80 (representing the average depth/depth at which more than 80% of the area was covered. The greater the Fold 80, the worse the uniformity, generally better within 2), was around 1.4. In terms of the target rate, the target rate in the experimental group to which Me-Blocker was added was about 5% higher than that in the control group, and the probe coverage depth of CpG sites was higher (FIG. 6). Therefore, the stability of the system can be improved by adding Me-Blockers in the targeted methylation sequencing experiments.

(3) Conclusion: as shown in table 12, the targeted methylation detection methods of the present application perform well for hybridization of 6 independent samples. The comparison of QC data is basically no difference between the 6 independent samples in two hybridization modes; in 6 single miscellaneous samples, the target rate in two cases is 40%, the rest is more than 50%, slight technical difference is generated, and in the miscellaneous test, all samples can reach the middle target rate of more than 50%; and the contrast ratio with the reference genome and probe coverage depth of CpG sites, the two hybridization modes were highly consistent (fig. 7). The targeted methylation sequencing system is applicable to both single sample and multiple sample hybrid hybridization.

Advantages of one detection method provided herein that is capable of recognizing single base methylation status include, but are not limited to:
1. the time required is short. For example, the preparation of a conventional targeted methylation library requires 2-3 days, and the detection method can finish the preparation of the targeted library within one day, so that the time cost is greatly saved. Meanwhile, the detection method improves the target rate in the targeted methylation capturing library, the original depth and the depth after the duplication removal, and meanwhile, fold 80 is far smaller than the conventional 120nt probe data.
2. The accuracy of methylation level detection is high, and compared with 'gold standard' pyrosequencing, the detection method is closer to the theoretical methylation level of a standard substance and a configuration sample.
3. According to the method, the MeBlocker is added, so that the repeated sequence after conversion can be blocked, the capturing efficiency of a target is improved, and the capturing performance of the system on a small Panel is ensured to be more stable.
4. The method is suitable for single sample or multi-sample mixed hybridization, and the data performance of the multi-sample mixed hybridization is higher than the consistency of the results of the samples. The system is used for clinical queue research, and a multi-sample hybrid hybridization scheme can be adopted.
