NUCLEIC ACID RELEASE AGENT, NUCLEIC ACID PCR AMPLIFICATION METHOD AND PCR AMPLIFICATION KIT
TECHNICAL FIELD
The présent disclosure relates to the field of moiecular biology, in particular to a nucleic acid release agent, a method for PCR amplification of a nucleic acid and a PCR amplification kit
BACKGROUND
Polymerase chain réaction (PCR) is a molecular biological technique for amplifying a spécifie nucleic acid fragment, împortantîy chafacterized by massive enrichment and increase of a trace amount of nucleic acid, so as to facilitate the détection of the trace amount of nucleic acid. The commonly used PCR method in medical diagnosis is mainly a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR) method based on dual fluorescent probes. Targets for in vitro diagnosis using the qPCR method mainly include human genomic DNA, DNA viruses, bacteria, fungt RNA viruses, and the like. However, since RNA has a singlestranded structure, which is unstable and easily degraded, a process of sample treatment is subjected to very stringent requirements, and a more complicated method is required for pretreatment, nucleic acid extraction and purification of the RNA sample to be amplified to obtain the pure nucleic acid, then the détection can be performed to obtain a stable resuit.
SUMMARY
Accordingly, it is necessary to provide a nucleic acid release agent that can simplify the PCR amplification method of RNA samples.
The présent disclosure provides a nucleic acid release agent comprising Tris-HCI, sodium chloride, potassium chîoride, Tween 20, Triton X-100, ethy! phenyl polyethylene glycol and a strong base; wherein Tris-HCIhas a molar concentration ranging from 0.5 mM to 500 mM, sodium chloride has a molarconcentration from 20 mM to 500 mM, potassium chloride has a mass concentration ranging from 5 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL, Tween 20 has a volume percentage ranging from 0.1% to 2%, Triton X-100 has a volume percentage ranging from 0.1% to 3%, ethyl phenyl polyethylene glycol has a volume percentage ranging from 0.1 % to 3%, and the strong base has a mass concentration ranging from 2 mg/mL to 50 mg/mL. ïn the nucleic acid release agent ofthe présent disciosure, a certain proportion ofthe strong base lyses cells, which release nucleic acids. Sodium chloride and potassium chloride protect nucleic acids by coordinating the balance of intracellular and extracelluîar ions. Tris
HCl is for keeping a pH value stable during cell lysis and better compatible with a PCR reaction solution in subséquent amplification. Triton X-100, on the one hand, can protect nucleic acids, especiaiiy singie-stranded RNA, aiiowing RNA to be stored in an alkaline environment. On the other hand, Triton X-100 with potassium chloride in a certain ratio can reduce the inhibitory effect of the strong alkaline environment on the enzyme in the PCR reaction, thereby ensuring the amplification efficiency of RNA. Tween 20 and ethyl phenyl polyethylene glycol can protect reverse transcriptase, so that the reverse transcriptase works normally in the alkaline environment. Through the synergy of the above components, the nucleic acid release agent of the présent disclosure enables a sample containing RNA to directly release RNA at room température, thereby avoiding the problem of sample contamination caused by aérosol generated by heating, and effectively preventing RNA from degrading in the alkaline environment. More importantly, it can be directiy mixed with the PCR reaction solution for PCR amplification to complété the amplification without the need for compiicated nucleic acid extraction and purification processes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
To make the présent disclosure easy to understand, a more comprehensive description of the présent disclosure will be given below, and better embodiments of the présent disclosure are given below. However, the présent disclosure can be implemented in many different forms and shal! not be limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the présent disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, ail technical and scientific terms used herein hâve the same meanings as those generally understood by those skilled in the art of the présent disclosure. The terms used in the spécification of the présent disclosure are only for the purpose of describing spécifie embodiments, rather than limiting the présent disclosure. The term “and/or” as used herein includes any and ail combinations of one or more reïated listed items.
In an embodiment of the présent disclosure, a nucleic acid release agent comprises TrisHCI, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, Tween 20, Triton X-100, ethyl phenyl poiyethylene glycol and a strong base; wherein Tris-HCI has a moiar concentration ranging from 0.5 mM to 500 mM, sodium chloride has a moiar concentration from 20 mM to 500 mM, potassium chloride has a mass concentration ranging from 5 mg/mL to 8 mg/mL, Tween 20 has a volume percentage ranging from 0.1% to 2%, Triton X-100 has a volume percentage ranging from 0.1% to 3%, ethyl phenyl poiyethylene glycol has a volume percentage ranging from 0.1% to 3%, and the strong base has a mass concentration ranging from 2 mg/mL to 50 mg/mL.
In order to achieve the effect of lysis, a lysis solution needs to be alkaline, but RNA is easily degraded in an alkaline environment. Moreover, a reverse transcriptase, which is required for PCR amplification and détection of RNA, is relatively fragile compared with the thermally stable TaqDNA polymerase and is easily inhibited in an alkaline environment, resulting in an inability to achieve the effect of reverse transcription. Therefore, RNA in the lysis solution generally cannot be directly amplified and detected by PCR. At présent, pre-treating methods for PCR amplification and détection of RNA samples mainly include a boiling lysis method and a magnetic bead method. in the boiling lysis method, nucleic acids in a sample are released by boiling under the action of a lysis buffer and dissolved in the lysis buffer. While the cells are lysed in a boiling water bath, the proteins and chromosomes of the cells are denatured. Then the denatured proteins and other impurities are removed by centrifugation, and the nucleic acids in the supematant are recovered for PCR amplification. However, coagulation of the proteins subjected to boiling at a high température causes part of the nucleic acids to be wrapped and run off with the centrifugation, leading directly to a decrease in the amount of template nucleic acids in the supematant, which reduces the sensitivity of subséquent amplification and détection. In addition, aérosols are easily produced by boiling and heating, leading to sample contamination, which will resuit in falsepositive results in subséquent détection. In the magnetic bead method, cells are lysed in a lysis solution, and free nucleic acid molécules are specificaîly adsorbed to the surface of the magnetic particles, while impurities such as proteins are not adsorbed but remained in the solution. After reacting for a certain period of time, the magnetic particles are separated from the liquid under the action of a magnetic field, followed by elution with an eluent to obtain pure nucleic acids. However, the magnetic bead method has complicated operation, requires a sample size that is generally 200 to 600 microliters, and has a very high demand on equipments, giving limitations on its promotion and use.
Based on the above mechanism, in the nucleic acid release agent of this embodiment, a certain proportion of the strong base lyses cells, which release nucleic acids.. Sodium chloride and potassium chloride protect nucleic acids by coordinating the balance of intracellular and extracellular ions. Tris-HCI is for keeping a pH value stable during cell lysis and is better compatible with a PCR reaction solution in subséquent amplification. Triton X-100, on the one hand, can protect nucleic acids, especially single-stranded RNA, allowing RNAto be stored in an alkaline environment. On the other hand, Triton X-100 with potassium chloride in a certain ratio can reduce the inhibitory effect of the strong alkaline environment on the enzyme in the PCR reaction, thereby ensuring the amplification efficiency of RNA. Tween 20 and ethyl phenyl polyethylene glycol can protect reverse transcriptase, so that the reverse transcriptase works normally in the alkaline environment. Through the synergy of the above components, the nucleic acid release agent of this embodiment enables a sample containing RNA to directly release RNA from at room température, thereby avoiding the problem of sample contamination caused by aérosol generated by heating and effectively preventing RNA from degrading in the alkaline environment. More importantly, it can be directly mixed with the PCR reaction solution for PCR amplification to complète the amplification, without the need for complicated nucleic acid extraction and purification processes. This truly realizes a one-chamber, pollution-free, simple and rapid RNA amplification and détection, with high détection sensitivity and good repeatability. It can be understood that the nucleic acid release agent can be used not only for PCR amplification and détection of RNA samples, but also for multiple and combined amplification and détection of DNA samples or mixed samples of RNA and DNA.
Specificaîly, the sirong base is sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and the like, which can be selected as required.
In a spécifie example, the nucleic acid release agent further comprises betaine and bovine sérum albumin, wherein betaine has a mass concentration ranging from 0.1 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL, and bovine sérum albumin has a mass concentration ranging from 5 mg/mL to 100 mg/mL. The certain proportion of betaine and bovine sérum albumin added may collaborate with Triton X-100 to better protect RNA under aîkaline conditions and prevent polymerase and reverse transcriptase from their dénaturation, thereby guaranteeing rapid release and amplification of RNA to achieve rapid détection of RNA samples.
In a spécifie example, the nucleic acid release agent further comprises protéinase K and lithium dodecyl sulfate, wherein protéinase K has a mass concentration ranging from 0.02 mg/mL to 1.5 mg/mL, and lithium dodecyl sulfate has a mass concentration ranging from 0.4 mg/mL to 30 mg/mL. The certain proportion of protéinase K and lithium dodecyl sulfate added may dénature and dégradé RNase, thereby further protecting RNA from its dégradation.
In an embodiment of the présent disclosure, a method for PCR amplification of a nucleic acid comprises steps of: mixing the nucleic acid release agent as described above with a sample, placing the mixture at25°Cto 60°C for 2 min to 10 min, and adding a PCR reaction solution for PCR amplification.
The method for PCR amplification of the nucleic acid in this embodiment realizes the operation of direct amplification without extraction and purification for nucleic acid samples such as RNA, that is, the amplification and détection of the nucleic acid sample can be done by adding the nucleic add release agent described above to the sample to release the nucleic acids from the cells, adding the PCR reaction solution and performing PCR amplification such as real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR directly, without the need for boiling and heating or extraction and purification processes, and the like. This truly realizes a one-chamber, pollution-free, simple and rapid RNA amplification and détection, with high détection sensitivity and good repeatability.
In a spécifie example, a volume ratio ofthe nucleic acid release agent to the sample is 1:1 to 1:5. Optionaliy, the samples can be of a variety of types inciuding sérum, plasma, an oropharyngeal swab, a nasopharyngeal swab, alveolar lavage fluid, stool and the like, and after being mixed with the nucleic acid release agent, can be directly used in détection methods downstream, such as PCR amplification or gene chip.
In a spécifie example, the PCR reaction solution comprises deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate, a forward primer, a reverse primer, DNA polymerase, reverse transcriptase and amplification buffer, and the iike. it can be understood that, according to different types and purposes of the PCR reaction, the composition of the PCR reaction solution can be selected as needed and is not limited thereto. For example, when performing reai-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, the PCR reaction solution also includes fluorescent probes or fluorescent dyes, etc.
In a spécifie exampie, the method further comprises a sample pretreatment step of mixing the sample with poiyethyiene glycoi followed by centrifugation to colled a precipitate before mixing the nucleic acid release agent with the sample. Specificaily, poiyethyiene glycoi is PEG-6000, with a concentration of 0.5% to 5% by volume, Poiyethyiene glycoi as a nucleic acid sédimentation agent can be used for the treatment of compiex samples. It can effectively capture RNA viruses in free form and increase the sensitivity of later détection without affecting the PCR reaction system, and can significantly improve the performance of rapid PCR détection of RNA. For example, for cell preserving fiuids containing high-salt solutions, virus preserving fiuids, or hemolyzed blood samples, 50 to 5000 microliters of the sample can be taken and PEG solution in an equal volume can be added thereto followed by centrifugation at 3000 to 13000 rpm/min for 1 to 10 min, with the supematant discarded and the pellet left, and then 50 to 100 microliters of nucleic acid release agent is added.
