Description

Marker for colorectal cancer screening, probe composition and application thereof

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a marker for colorectal cancer screening, a probe composition and application thereof.

Background

Colorectal cancer (colorectal cancer, CRC) is a common malignant tumor, the incidence and mortality rate are both rising, the number of 40.1 ten thousand diagnosed cases in 2016 is increased to 45.6 ten thousand diagnosed cases in 2020, and the composite annual growth rate is 3.3%. It is expected that the number of colorectal cancer episodes will reach 48.4 thousand diagnosed cases in 2022. In 2020, the incidence of colorectal cancer is ranked second among all cancers in China, and the number of deaths of colorectal cancer in China in the same year reaches 28.6 ten thousand. Colorectal cancer is classified into stages I-IV according to the stage of disease progression. For patients with stage IV colorectal cancer, overall survival is very low, with survival rates of less than 10% for 5 years. And patients in stage I can reach more than 90% survival rate. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are important in order to improve the overall prognosis of intestinal cancer. At present, the Chinese colorectal cancer screening technology mainly comprises fecal occult blood test, tumor marker detection and enteroscopy. Colonoscopes are still the fundamental method of confirming bowel cancer, but their high cost, poor compliance and potential trauma make them difficult to apply on a large scale for screening of asymptomatic people. Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) and peripheral blood carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), although acceptable, their poor sensitivity and specificity also present challenges for early diagnosis and treatment of intestinal cancer.

Wherein the sequence of the marker is a sequence which is not converted by bisulfite.

The present application provides a probe composition comprising a probe that targets methylation of the marker.

Methylation refers to methylation of the 5 th carbon atom on cytosine in CpG dinucleotides, and is taken as a stable modification state, and can inherit new generation progeny DNA along with the replication process of DNA under the action of DNA methyltransferase, so that the methylation of the gene promoter region can lead to silence transcription of cancer suppressor genes during DNA methylation, and the methylation is closely related to tumor occurrence. Aberrant methylation includes hypermethylation of cancer suppressor genes and DNA repair genes, hypomethylation of repeated sequence DNA, imprinting loss of certain genes, which are associated with the occurrence of a variety of tumors.

Methylation as described herein can be methylation level, degree of methylation, or methylation state, and when analyzing methylation of such target sequences, one skilled in the art can use quantitative determination methods to determine methylation.

The probe is single-stranded or double-stranded DNA with a length of tens to hundreds or even thousands of base pairs, which can utilize the denaturation, renaturation and high precision of base complementary pairing of molecules, and can be combined with (hybridized with) complementary unlabeled single-stranded DNA or RNA in a sample to be tested in a hydrogen bond manner to form a double-stranded complex (hybrid). After washing off the unpaired and bound probe, the hybridization reaction results can be detected by a detection system such as an autoradiography or an enzyme-linked reaction. In this application, the region that complementarily binds or hybridizes to a probe is a specific target region, and a plurality of probes are combined into a probe composition.

In one embodiment, the probe composition comprises a hypermethylated first probe composition for hybridization to a bisulfite converted hypermethylated region and a hypomethylated second probe composition for hybridization to a bisulfite converted hypomethylated region.

The hypermethylation means that after the marker is converted by bisulfite, a base C is changed into a base U, but if the marker is a base CG, the base C is kept unchanged;

the hypomethylation means that after the marker is converted by bisulfite, all bases CG are not methylated, and the bases C are changed into the bases U.

When the nucleic acid sequence with fluorescent mark in the solution is complementarily matched with the nucleic acid probe at the corresponding position on the gene chip, a group of probe sequences with complete complementation of the sequences are obtained by determining the probe position with the strongest fluorescence intensity.

The chip is prepared by mainly taking a glass sheet or a silicon wafer as a carrier, and sequentially arranging oligonucleotide fragments or cDNA (complementary deoxyribonucleic acid) serving as probes on the carrier by adopting an in-situ synthesis and microarray method.

The chip is based on signal detection of DNA sequence hybridization after bisulfite treatment, wherein unmethylated cytosine is changed into uracil, methylated cytosine is kept unchanged, uracil is converted into thymine, and finally chip hybridization is carried out; finally, judging the type of the added base according to the fluorescence color, and further determining whether the locus is methylated.

Finally, the methylation level of the target region is calculated, and the value results in a diagnosis of cancer if the threshold value is exceeded and a diagnosis of normal if the threshold value is lowered.

Example 2

The present example discloses a methylation specific biomarker for diagnosing colorectal cancer, based on the data set of 58 colorectal cancer samples and 42 normal human samples, the methylation library building method described in the example 1 is used to screen out biomarkers related to colorectal cancer by using methylation level differences in different groups (colorectal cancer and normal), and the independent data sets of the site data in normal and colorectal cancer samples are verified, and 44 DNA fragments most notably distinguishing normal and cancer samples are screened out altogether, wherein the 44 methylation biomarkers (sites or markers for short) and the discrimination threshold are shown in table 21.

The methylation level threshold calculation method comprises the following steps: drawing an ROC curve according to the data set (comprising the type and methylation level of each sample), wherein the confusion matrix corresponding to the optimal threshold point on the ROC curve is the basis for calculating indexes such as sensitivity, specificity and accuracy. Typically we will choose by a boulder index (you index). The about index, also called the correct index, refers to the sum of sensitivity and specificity minus 1: about index = sensitivity + specificity-1. The value of about dengue index range is between 0 and 1, which represents the total ability of the classification model to find true patients and non-patients. The greater the about log index, the better the classification model performance, the sensitivity and specificity of each marker is shown in table 21. As can be seen from table 21, the AUC values for the markers described herein are higher.
