Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to nucleic acids and more specifically to techniques for hybridizing and detecting nucleic acid sequences within a cell while the cell is in suspension.
  • Complementary strands of nucleic acid such as DNA or RNA can form a double-stranded molecule linked by complementary bases in a process known as hybridization.
  • Hybrids may be formed between any two complementary strands, so hybrids of DNA:DNA are possible, as are DNA:RNA and RNA:RNA.
  • the reaction is reversible under particular temperature and salt concentration conditions.
  • nucleic acids are first isolated and then permitted to hybridize with particular labelled nucleotide sequences termed probes. While such nucleic acid hybridization is well known in the art, methods for hybridization of nucleic acid sequences within cells in suspension have not been available.
  • in situ hybridization has been used to detect DNA sequences within suspended nuclei removed from cells, Trask, B., et al., Science, 230:1401-03, (1985), Trask, B. , et al.. Human Genetics, 78:251-59 (1988), Van der Engh, G.J. and Trask, B.J. (1988), U.S. Patent No. 4,770,992.
  • Trask, et al. cross-linked nuclei, isolated from cells, with dimethylsuberimidate to prevent disintegration of the nuclei during denaturation and hybridization.
  • AAF N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene
  • AAIF iodinated analog
  • biotin-labelled chromosomal and cloned DNA probes were hybridized to their respective targets and the probes detected with anti-AAF or anti-AAIF antibodies and a secondary rhodamine-labelled antibody (for AAF- or AAIF-labelled probes) or fluorescein-avidin-DSC (for biotin-labelled probes) by flow cytometry.
  • Flow cytometry is a technique for rapidly sorting individual cells, microorganisms and cell organelles into groups based on observable differences. Briefly summarized, the technique involves passing a stream of material to be measured (cells, lysed cells or other material) in single file past a light source where the particular property is detected, usually based on the reaction of the light to the materials. A computer then directs the separation of the material as desired. This technique is very rapid and allows separation of from 10 4 to 10 6 cells per minute.
  • Fluorochromes are most often used to label the cellular component of interest before passing the cell sample past the light source.
  • a variety of fluorochromes have been used to nonspecifically stain DNA, RNA and proteins for cytometric analysis.
  • Immunological techniques have been used to detect cell surface markers and cell interior markers specifically with fluorescent antibodies.
  • Nonfluorescent dyes can also be utilized in this system.
  • Cells can absorb light as they pass through a focused light beam, and light transmitted by cells stained with nonfluorescent dyes can be quantitated and related to analyte concentration. This technique can help measure the expression of various target molecules in cells.
  • a suinmary of flow cytometry as a technique is provided in Muirhead, K.A. , et al., Biotechnology, 3:337- 56 (1985).
  • the present invention provides a technique for the hybridization of nucleotide probes to nucleic acids within a cell while the cell remains in suspension.
  • the technique comprises fixing the suspended cell, hybridizing the nucleic acid within the cell with an oligonucleotide probe and detecting the hybridized probe.
  • the nucleic acid can be denaturated prior to hybridization and endogenous enzymes can be ablated.
  • the invention also provides a technique for categorizing cells by flow cytometry based on differences in target nucleic acid sequence. Additional objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the specification and claims.
  • a cell suspended in fluid having a hybridized nucleotide probe therein is also provided as well as a kit for detecting a specific nucleotide sequence in a cell suspended in a fluid.
  • the kit comprises a means for fixing the suspended cell and a nucleotide probe complementary to a nucleotide sequence within the suspended cell.
  • the kit can also include a means for detecting the hybridized probe.
  • a method for detecting a specific nucleotide sequence in the nucleic acid in a cell suspended in a fluid comprises (l) fixing the suspended cell in such a way as to permit a nucleotide probe to penetrate without disrupting the suspended cell, (2) providing a nucleotide probe complementary to the specific nucleotide sequence within the suspended cell under conditions permitting hybridization, and (3) detecting hybridized probe within the cell, whereby hybridized probe indicates the presence of the specific nucleotide sequence.
  • the method can include the further step of denaturing the nucleic acid before hybridizing with a nucleotide probe or ablating endogenous enzymes.
  • probe or nucleotide probe refers to a labelled nucleotide sequence.
  • the nucleotides can be deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides.
  • the number of nucleotides present in the probe is variable, depending on the application. Preferably, the range is between 10 and 2000 nucleotides, more preferably between 15 and 50, most preferably 20 to 25.
  • oligonucleotide refers to nucleotide sequences less than 200 residues in length.
  • Various labels are well known in the art and include fluorophores, enzymes, and radioactive isotopes, haptens and other ligands.
  • probes are described, for example, in PCT Publication No. WO 84/03285.
  • the probe can be a single selected homogeneous sequence or can be a mixture of various selected sequences.
  • a mixture can be used, for example, to increase the sensitivity of the assay or to permit detection even where a portion of the nucleic acid in the target cell is variant, as a result, for example, of genetic alteration.
  • the present invention is useful for detecting a target nucleic acid sequence in a single cell in suspension.
  • the technique may be achieved using automatic flow analysis, for example, flow cytometry.
  • the technique involves manufacturing oligonucleotides by methods known in the art. See, for example. United States Patent No. 4,500,707 Matteucci and Caruthers, (1981), J. Am. Chem. Soc., 103:3185-3191, which is incorporated herein by reference. These oligonucleotides are then labelled with enzymes, fluorophores or ligands (molecules with high affinity for other molecules) , also by means known in the art. See, for example Jablonski, E.G., et al.
  • oligonucleotides may be used as probes for hybridization with DNA or RNA in the nucleus or in the cytoplasm of cells. The presence of hybridized cellular DNA or RNA is then established by detecting the label on the probe.
  • the ji situ hybridization assay set forth here may be used in tandem with flow cytometry to assist for example in the diagnosis of various agents that infect or invade cells (viruses, chlamydia, certain bacteria and certain parasites) and to diagnose cancer and genetic diseases.
  • Detection by microscopic analysis can be used in place of flow cytometry, but flow cytometry is preferred.
  • the technique of the present invention may be combined with flow cytometry to form an automated, rapid detection or quantitation system for use in hospitals and research laboratories.
  • the technique of the present invention may also be used separately and the labelled cells may be detected in a subsequent step, if desired.
  • a technique of the present invention may be briefly summarized as follows: (1) oligonucleotide probes are synthesized and labelled with enzymes, fluorophores, ligands or other detectable labels; (2) the probes are then hybridized with DNA or RNA in a fixed suspended cell, using the methods set out below; (3) the labels in the cells are detected using known optical techniques; and (4) the cells are separated, if desired.
  • synthetic probes preferably DNA are prepared using conventional techniques.
  • the probes are designed to be complementary to particular nucleotide sequences, termed target sequences of nucleic acids within the fixed cell.
  • the selection of nucleotide sequence of the probe is within the skill and choice of those in the art.
  • long chain probes greater than 200 nucleotides
  • synthetic oligonucleotide probes (10 to 200 nucleotides, preferably 15 to 50 nucleotides) are preferred. Since higher concentrations of oligonucleotide probes can be used in the technique of the invention, maximum hybridization can usually occur within a short time, for example, ten minutes or less.
  • oligonucleotides may be labelled directly, while long probes must typically be labelled indirectly, adding complexity and expense to the process but without providing significant additional reliability.
  • a directly labelled probe is one where the label to be detected is directly attached to the probe.
  • An indirectly labelled probe is one which has attached to it a moiety through which the label to be detected is subsequently attached. Additionally, short probes can more easily permeate cells than can longer probes.
  • labels include enzymes, fluorophores and ligands. Other labels are available and are well known in the art. Enzyme labels include alkaline phosphatase, horseradish peroxidase, ⁇ -galactosidase, glucose oxidase and luciferase. Fluorophores include fluorescein and Texas Red.
  • Ligand labels include biotin, digoxigenin, AAF and AAIF.
  • Protected linker arm nucleoside 3'-phosphoramidite was prepared by the method of Ruth, J. DNA, 3:123 (1984) .
  • linker arm monomer was incorporated directly into automated oligonucleotide synthesis employing an Applied source
  • the preferred conditions for nucleic acid denaturation is a combination of heat 50 e C to 100°C, preferably 65°-70°C, and a formamide concentration of 40% to 100%, preferably about 70% ultrapure: 30% low salt buffer) .
  • the hybridization technique is useful for in situ hybridization within cells in suspension. Before hybridization can occur, the cell must be fixed. Fixation is the chemical preservation of cells or tissue so that the structure will be minimally altered from the normal state. There are generally two types of fixatives, crosslinking (for example, parafor aldehyde, glutaraldehyde) and precipitating (alcohols) .
  • fixatives for example, parafor aldehyde, glutaraldehyde
  • precipitating alcohols
  • fixation with paraformaldehyde is preferred, although other crosslinking fixatives will achieve effective results.
  • the preferred amount of paraformaldehyde is between 0.5% and 5%. Precipitating fixatives are less desirable, as cell morphology is not well maintained and cells tend to clump.
  • nucleic acid within the cells can be denatured.
  • Denaturing agents or conditions for nucleic acid include formamide, glyoxal, heat (90°C to 100 ⁇ C, preferably 0 to 0.3M salt concentration), acid or base (DNA only) treatments. Denaturation with a combination of heat (>65 ⁇ C) and formamide (both DNA and RNA denaturation) is preferred. Where the secondary structure of the nucleic acid does not provide a barrier to hybridization, for example where the nucleic acid is shorter, single stranded RNA or where the probe is short and recognizes an exposed sequence, denaturation is not necessarily required.
  • probe in hybridization buffer is added immediately and hybridization commences.
  • Conditions for hybridization depend on probe base content. Hybridization can occur in the presence or absence of formamide ( ⁇ 40%) and in a temperature range of ambient temperature (23 ⁇ C) to 75°C for alkaline phosphatase probes; the temperature and formamide concentration are experimentally determined. Washing of unreacted or loosely bound probe from cells occurs at a temperature and salt concentration which are likewise experimentally determined (23-75°C, ⁇ 0.3M) .
  • Detection of alkaline phosphatase labelled probe hybridized to its complement in cells occurs preferably with the addition of NBT and BCIP substrates, although other substrates (especially substrates which give insoluble products) can also be utilized. A red to purple product is desired.
  • In situ hybridization of cells, accomplished in suspension is well adapted to automation and thus is highly desirable for applications where a complete automated system is preferable, for example, for clinical diagnostic purposes.
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-infected and uninfected human fetal foreskin fibroblast (HFFF) cells were treated with 0.5% paraformaldehyde in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) , a common buffer, for one minute at 60°C. Treating for ten minutes at ambient temperature (23°C) was an acceptable alternative.

  • Hybridization buffer contains 5X SSC (0.75 sodium chloride, 0.075M sodium citrate, pH 7.0), combined with 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Fraction V). Alternatively, the cells and probe were mixed with 30% formamide in 70% hybridization buffer at 37°C for ten minutes.
  • CMV sequences are available from GenBank, (IntelliGenetics, Mountain View, CA) Accession Nos. K01090, M10063, M11911) . The following nucleotide sequences were used as probes:
  • Substrate was added to cells so that the labelling enzyme was detected.
