発明の背景 Background of the Invention
外来遺伝子の侵入あるいは自己遺伝子の異常に起因する遺伝子病において, 遺伝 子検查技術は既に重要な位置を占めており, なかでも感染症と癌を中心に極めて多 くの各種生体試料 DNA抽出キットゃ PCRなどの核酸増幅法に基づく遺伝子検査キ ットが開発されている。 しかしこれらはいずれも, 個々の患者あるいは疾患につい ての病因 ·病態を把握することを主な目的としたものであり, 繁雑な電気泳動によ る分離分析のステップを含むものであったり, 高価な特殊標識プライマーと高額な 専用測定装置を要するなど, 手技的あるいはコスト的な制約から大量検体処理が要 求される一般人口集団を対象としたスクリーニング検査に現実に利用することは 困難な状況である。  Genetic detection technology has already occupied an important position in genetic diseases caused by the invasion of foreign genes or abnormalities in self genes.

However, all of these are mainly intended to ascertain the etiology and pathology of individual patients or diseases, and involve complicated steps of separation and analysis by electrophoresis, or are expensive.

従来の技術 Conventional technology
生体試料からの DNA抽出法は古典的には蛋白分解酵素処理の後, フエノ一ル /ク ロロホルム抽出とアルコール沈澱による精製操作を含む極めて繁雑な操作を要し た。現在, 各種生体試料からの簡易 DNA抽出法としては, DNA結合能を有する特殊 な支持体を利用したスピンカラム-クロマト分離方式が広く用いられているが  Classically, DNA extraction from biological samples required extremely complicated procedures including phenol / chloroform extraction and purification by alcohol precipitation after proteolytic enzyme treatment. At present, as a simple DNA extraction method from various biological samples, a spin column-chromatographic separation method using a special support having DNA binding ability is widely used.

Pathol. 150 (1997), 1537-46; QIAGEN QIAampKit series However, the cost per sample is high, and it is virtually impossible to process many samples continuously in daily tests.
一方, 少量の生体試料から得られる微量 DNAの増幅には, PCRが最も適した方法 であることは明らかであるが, PCR産物の検出法については通常, ァガロース電気 泳動などによる分離分析の後に 2本鎖 DNAインターカレー夕を加えて発蛍光体とし て検出する方法が一般的である (Molecular Cloning vol. l, chap.6) 。 しかしながら電 気泳動による分離分析では PCR産物の正確な検出は可能なものの, もともと多数検 体の処理を目的とした方法ではないことから処理能力にはおのずと限界がある。 多数検体処理に重点を置く場合には, メンブラン上に PCR産物を固定し標識プロ ーブを用いるドットブロッ卜ハイプリダイゼーション法 (Evansら, J. Virol.  On the other hand, it is clear that PCR is the most suitable method for amplifying a small amount of DNA obtained from a small amount of a biological sample. However, the detection method for PCR products is usually performed after separation analysis such as agarose electrophoresis. It is common to add a single-stranded DNA intercalator and detect it as a fluorescent substance (Molecular Cloning vol. L, chap. 6). However, although separation analysis by electrophoresis allows accurate detection of PCR products, it is not a method originally intended for processing a large number of analytes, so the processing capacity is naturally limited. When emphasis is placed on the processing of a large number of samples, dot blot hybridization using immobilized PCR products on a membrane and labeled probes (Evans et al., J. Virol.

However, in reality, we considered the investment in equipment for expensive equipment and the running cost of expensive reagents. At times, the application of these systems will be very limited. The major difference between the detection method of the present invention and these recent methods is that PCR amplification is used. The simplicity of adding a double-stranded DNA to the broadened double-stranded DNA and measuring it with a general-purpose fluorescent plate reader requires optimization of the labeled primers and additional reactions for subsequent detection. The point is that this method is superior in operability, cost, and versatility as a screening method for genetic abnormalities for the purpose of processing large amounts of samples. -Summary of the invention
本発明は上記の一般人口集団のスクリーニング検査への遺伝子検査の導入を可 能とするために, 多数検体の生体試料の簡便かつ経済的な DNA抽出法ならびに特 異的かつ高感度な標的遺伝子の検出法からなる信頼性の高い DNA検査方法を提供 するものである。  The present invention provides a simple and economical DNA extraction method for a large number of biological samples, and a special and highly sensitive target gene identification method, in order to enable the introduction of a genetic test into the screening test of the general population described above.

A method was developed in which a TE (10 mM Tris-1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) solution of Proteinase K was added and incubated, and the boiled centrifuged supernatant was used directly as a template for PCR. This method is a highly versatile method that can be applied to other cells obtained by abrasion or resection, including the oral mucosa and uterine mucosa.

スクリーニング検査において精査フォローとなった場合等の内視鏡を用いた極 微量の生検材料のホルマリン固定パラフィン包埋組織スライド切片は, 膨大な蓄積 を持つその他一般の手術材料と同様に, 遺伝子診断の試料として非常に有用性の高 いものである。 従来の, ホルマリン固定パラフィン包埋組織スライド切片からの DNA抽出法は,キシレン等の有機溶剤による脱パラフィン処理を要するものであり, 健康上の問題も含め多数検体の処理には不向きな方法である。 本発明による DNA 抽出法は, パラフィン包埋状態のまま組織スライド切片をミクロスパーテルにより 削り取り, Proteinase K-ポィル処理を行なうのみで PCRのテンプレートとして十分 な質および量の DNAを与えることを特徴とする。 これはボイル処理後の冷却によ りパラフィンは薄片として DNA抽出液から容易に分離できることを利用したもの である。 Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue slides of a very small amount of biopsy material using an endoscope, such as when a follow-up examination is performed in a screening test, can be used for genetic diagnosis as well as other general surgical materials with a huge accumulation. It is very useful as a sample for the test. Conventional DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue slides requires deparaffinization with an organic solvent such as xylene, and is not suitable for processing large numbers of samples, including health problems. . In the DNA extraction method according to the present invention, a tissue slide section is scraped off with a microspatula in a paraffin-embedded state, and is treated with a proteinase K-pol. Of high quality and quantity of DNA. This is based on the fact that paraffin can be easily separated from DNA extract as thin slices by cooling after boiling.
上述のようにして得られた各種簡易抽出 DNA試料に対して大量検体処理が可能 な特異的かつ高感度な標的遺伝子の検出法を開発した。標的および適当なコント口 ール DNAをそれぞれ, TaqStart抗体 (Glontech社) など非特異反応を押さえたホ ットスタート PCRなどの核酸増幅法により増幅した後, 二本鎖 DNAインターカレ 一夕を加えて蛍光強度を測定し, 両者の蛍光強度の比 (標的/コントロール) を算 出することにより, DNAの全体量に対する標的 DNAの相対的な量比を評価できる 点を特徴とするものである。 操作は全て 96穴あるいは 384穴などのマイクロプレ ートスケールで可能である。 ホットスタート PCRなどにより得られた特異性の高 い核酸増幅産物に, 直接二本鎖 DNAインタ一カレー夕を加えて蛍光マイクロプレ ートリーダやキヤビラリ一電気泳動あるいは高速液体ク口マトグラフィーなどの 蛍光検出装置で測定する。 この方法は特殊な試薬を必要とせず簡便かつ経済的に大 量検体処理が可能な遺伝子病一般のスクリーニングに広く応用でき, 汎用性が高い。 一般の健常者を対象とした感染症, 先天性遺伝性疾患あるいは癌などの遺伝子病 の遺伝子診断は, 従来手技的あるいはコス卜的な制約から疾病のスクリーニングへ の適用は困難であつたが, 本発明による DNA抽出から増幅および検出, 同定に至 る一連の実用的な遺伝子検査システムは効率的かつ経済的な大量検体処理を可能 とし, 疾病のスクリーニングに極めて有用でり, 近年, 国民保健の上からまた経済 的にも益々重要性が高まってきた予防医学への貢献が期待できる。  We have developed a specific and highly sensitive target gene detection method that can process large amounts of various types of easily extracted DNA samples obtained as described above. The target and the appropriate control DNA are each amplified by nucleic acid amplification methods such as hot-start PCR that suppresses non-specific reactions such as TaqStart antibody (Glontech), followed by addition of double-stranded DNA intercalation and fluorescence. By measuring the intensities and calculating the ratio of the two intensities (target / control), the relative amount ratio of target DNA to the total amount of DNA can be evaluated. All operations can be performed on a microplate scale with 96 or 384 wells. High-specificity nucleic acid amplification products obtained by hot-start PCR, etc., and direct double-stranded DNA intercalation are added to detect fluorescence by fluorescence microplate reader, capillary electrophoresis, or high-performance liquid chromatography. Measure with the device. This method does not require special reagents and can be widely applied to general genetic disease screening, which enables simple and economical processing of large amounts of samples, and is highly versatile. Genetic diagnosis of infectious diseases, congenital hereditary diseases, and genetic diseases such as cancer in general healthy persons has been difficult to apply to disease screening due to technical or cost constraints. A series of practical genetic testing systems from DNA extraction to amplification, detection, and identification according to the present invention enable efficient and economical processing of large amounts of samples, and are extremely useful for disease screening. It can be expected to contribute to preventive medicine, which has become increasingly important from above and economically.

The mucosal cells obtained by scraping the mucosal part with a spatula are washed away by portex mixing into 10 mL of PBS solution in a 50 mL centrifuge tube. Under this condition, DNA is stable for at least one month when stored at 4 ° C. Next, after centrifugation at 3,000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, add 500 L of PBS solution to the pellet, vortex, and transfer the entire amount of the mucosal cell suspension to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. If long-term storage is necessary, store at -20 in this state. For DNA extraction, transfer 100 / iL of this to another 0.5 mL tube, centrifuge at 10,000 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, and add erythrocyte lysed blood (RCLB: 10 mM Tris-5 mM MgCI2- Add 400 L of 10 mM NaCI, pH 7.6) and perform portex mixing. If hemoglobin is present in the cell pellet in a single washing of a sample with a large amount of blood, repeat the washing operation with RCLB again. To the cell pellet obtained in this manner, 100_iL of 100 zg / mL Proteinase K-TE solution is added, and the cells are dispersed by vortex mixing. Incubate for 15 minutes at ° C. Next, centrifuge at 15,000 rpm for 5 minutes, and transfer the supernatant to a new 0.5 mL tube to obtain the final DNA solution.
ホルマリン固定パラフィン包埋組織スライド切片からの簡易 DNA抽出法の実際 について詳述する。 採取組織部位 (通常, 組織片 3-5 mの厚さで約 5mm四方) を ミクロスパーテルによりパラフィンごと削り取り, スパーテル上の薄片を爪楊枝な どの先端の尖ったものを用いて 0.5mLチューブの底部に移す。上記粘膜擦過細胞で 用いたのと同じ 100 / g/mL Proteinase K-TE溶液を 60 し加え 10,000φΐηで 1分間 の遠心後, 55°Cで 30分間のィンキュベーションに続き 95°C-15分間のボイル処理 を行ない, 最終的に 4°Cに冷却する。 次に 15,000rpmで 5分間の遠心後の上清を新 たな 0.5mLチューブに分取し最終的な DNA溶液を得る。 The details of the simple DNA extraction method from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue slide sections are described in detail. The sampled tissue site (usually about 5 mm square with a thickness of 3 to 5 m of tissue pieces) is scraped together with the paraffin using a microspatula, and the thin piece on the spatula is attached to the bottom of a 0.5 mL tube using a pointed tip such as a toothpick. Move. Add 60/100 / g / mL Proteinase K-TE solution same as the one used for the above mucosal scraping cells, centrifuge for 1 min at 10,000φΐη, then incubate at 55 ° C for 30 minutes, then 95 ° C Boil for -15 minutes and finally cool to 4 ° C.

大量検体処理が可能な特異的かつ高感度な標的遺伝子検出法の応用例として, 子 宮類癌スクリーニングを目的とした子宮粘膜細胞中のヒトパピローマウィルス (HPV)の検出法と大腸癌スクリーニングを目的とした乾燥濾紙便およびホルマリン 固定パラフィン包埋組織スライドを用いる癌遺伝子 K- sの共通変異の検出法につ いて以下に述べる。  As an application example of a specific and highly sensitive target gene detection method capable of processing a large amount of samples, a method for detecting human papillomavirus (HPV) in uterine mucosal cells and screening for colon cancer for screening of uterine cancers. The method for detecting common mutations in the oncogene K-s using dried filter paper stool and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue slides is described below.
子宮頸癌に関連したヒトパピローマウイルス (HPV)DNAの PCR検出用共通配列プ ライマーはこれまでにも数多くの報告がなされている。一般的には現在 100種類近 く知られている HPVの分類を主な目的とするため幅広い検出が優先され, PCRで の特異性を犠牲にした上でオリゴハイプリダイゼーシヨンとを組み合わせた方法 を用いる場合が多いが, 癌化には関係の薄い HPV型も検出され手技的にも煩雑で あることからスクリーニング用途には適さない方法である。 一方, 癌化に密接に関 連した高危険群 ·中間危険群 HPV10種類程度を標的に L1領域の共通配列プライマ 一を用いる方法 iYoshikawaら, Jpn J Cancer Res 82 (1991 ), 524- 31}や E6,7領域の共 通配列プライマーを用いる方法 {Fujinagaら, J General Virol 72 (1991 ), 1039-44}も報告 されているが, 共通配列プライマーの設計において, 塩基配列特異的 PCR におけ る.3'末の厳密性が十分考慮されていないため, 今回のようなスクリーニングを目的 とした低濃度かつ完全に精製されていない DNA試料を用いた場合, 少なくとも前 者では高危険群 HPV16型, 後者では高危険群 HPV18型に対して十分な感度が得ら れず, スクリーニングへの応用上, 致命的な問題があることが判明した。 このため, 新たに共通配列プライマーの設計を行なう必要があり, 種々検討を行なった結果, 後掲の配列表に配列番号 1として示した Forwardプライマ一; E6CF4(Fujinagaらの共 通 Forward プライマーから約 80bp上流の E6領域)と, 配列番号 2として示した Reverseプライマー; E7CR3(Fujingaらの共通 Reverseプライマーと同位置に 1 bp延 長)を用いることにより, 少なくとも高危険群 HPV- 16 および 18 型と中間危険群 HPV-31 ,33,52および 58型を, いずれも一度の PCRで高感度に検出することが可能 となった。  There have been many reports on consensus sequence primers for PCR detection of human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA associated with cervical cancer. In general, the main purpose is to classify HPVs, which are currently known as close to 100 types, so a wide range of detections is prioritized. A method combining oligohybridization with sacrificing PCR specificity Although HPV is often used, it is not suitable for screening because the HPV type, which is not closely related to canceration, is detected and the procedure is complicated. On the other hand, a method using a common sequence primer in the L1 region targeting about 10 high-risk groups and intermediate-risk groups HPV closely related to canceration iYoshikawa et al., Jpn J Cancer Res 82 (1991), 524-31} A method using common sequence primers in the E6 and 7 regions {Fujinaga et al., J General Virol 72 (1991), 1039-44} has also been reported. However, in the design of common sequence primers, base sequence-specific PCR was used. Since the strictness of the .3 'end has not been sufficiently considered, the use of low-concentration and incompletely purified DNA samples for screening purposes, at least in the former, high-risk group HPV16, In the latter case, sufficient sensitivity was not obtained for the high-risk group HPV18, which proved to be fatal for application to screening. For this reason, it is necessary to design a new common sequence primer. As a result of various studies, the forward primer shown as SEQ ID NO: 1 in the sequence listing below; E6CF4 (from the common forward primer of Fujinaga et al.) By using E6 region (80 bp upstream) and the reverse primer shown as SEQ ID NO: 2; E7CR3 (extending 1 bp at the same position as the common Reverse primer of Fujinga et al.), At least high-risk groups HPV-16 and 18 were obtained. HPV-31, 33, 52 and 58 in the middle-risk group could all be detected with high sensitivity by a single PCR.
一方, HPV型の同定に関しては, 共通配列プライマーを用いた PGR産物を制限 酵素により切断し型別を行なう方法 (RFLP)が一般的であるが, 高価な制限酵素を用 い PCRの後にさらに煩雑な操作を要する。 このため PCRと本発明による蛍光測定 のみで主要な HPV;高危険群 HPV- 16および 18型と中間危険群の中でも頻度の高 い HPV- 31 , 52および 58型をそれぞれ同定可能な後掲の配列表に配列番号 3、 4、 5、 6および 7として示した Forwardプライマ一 5種類 (16SF1 , 18SF2, 31 SF1,52SF1 および 58SF1 )を設計し, それぞれ Reverseプライマー; E7CR3とともに用いる方法 を開発した。 さらにこれらのプライマーは各 HPV型が異なる増幅バンド長を与え るように設計されているため, すべてのプライマーを含む単一チューブの PCR の 後にァガロース電気泳動を用いれば, 制限酵素処理を要せずに HPV型の同定が可 能である利点も有する。 On the other hand, with regard to HPV type identification, PGR products using common sequence primers were restricted. The method of cutting by enzyme and performing typing (RFLP) is generally used, but more complicated operations are required after PCR using expensive restriction enzymes. Therefore, it is possible to identify the main HPV only by PCR and the fluorescence measurement according to the present invention; HPV-16 and 18 of high-risk group and HPV-31, 52 and 58 of high frequency in the middle-risk group, respectively. Five types of forward primers (16SF1, 18SF2, 31SF1, 52SF1 and 58SF1) shown in the sequence listing as SEQ ID NOs: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 were designed, and a method was developed to use them together with a reverse primer; E7CR3. Furthermore, since these primers are designed so that each HPV type gives a different amplification band length, if agarose electrophoresis is used after PCR of a single tube containing all primers, no restriction enzyme treatment is required. Another advantage is that the HPV type can be identified.
HPV-DNA 検査における各試料の DNA 量の推定には, 既報 {Villa ら, Gastroenterology 110 (1996), 1346- 53}のプライマ一ペア一 (Glob- F, Glob- R)を用いて ]3 -グロビン遺伝子の増幅を本発明による方法で検出し DNAコントロールとした。 大腸癌スクリーニングを目的とした乾燥濾紙便およびホルマリン固定パラフィ ン包埋組織スライドを用いる癌遺伝子 K- rasの共通変異 3種類;コドン 12gg→ga1: (12A), 12ggt→g t (12T)およびコドン 13ggc→gac (13A)を同時にあるいは個別に検出 する方法について述べる。大腸癌細胞中の DNAに含まれる K- ras遺伝子変異をァレ ル特異的ネステイド PCR法により検出するもので, 高感度かつ特異性および信頼 性の高い結果が得られるように次の 3点の工夫がなされている。 The amount of DNA in each sample in the HPV-DNA test was estimated using the primer-pair-pair (Glob-F, Glob-R) of [Villa et al., Gastroenterology 110 (1996), 1346-53]. Amplification of the globin gene was detected by the method according to the present invention and used as a DNA control. Common mutation three oncogene K-ras using a dry filter paper flights and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue slides colon cancer screening aimed; codon 12 g g → ga1: (12A ), 12ggt → gt (12T) and This section describes how to detect codon 13ggc → gac (13A) simultaneously or individually. This method detects K-ras gene mutations contained in DNA in colorectal cancer cells by the arrell-specific nested PCR method. The following three points are used to obtain highly sensitive, specific, and reliable results. Something has been devised.
—番目は, I stPCRで K- ras遺伝子のコドン 12および 13を挟んで, 正常および異 常両アレルを増幅することにより, 極微量の変異 DNAの量的底上げを行なうとと もに, この I stPCR産物を測定して試料 DNA量の推定も可能とした点である。 K-ras I stPCR用の Reverseプライマ一 (Kras- R)は既報に従った力 非ェクソン領域のフォ ワードプライマーは多型が原因と思われる一部の試料で増幅バンドが得られない 現象を認めたため,ェクソン 1を含む転写開始境界領域に新たなプライマー (後掲配 列表に配列番号 8として示した KrasF- 1 st)を設計した。 —The first is to amplify both normal and abnormal alleles across the codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene by IstPCR, and to raise the amount of the trace amount of mutated DNA quantitatively. The point is that the amount of sample DNA can be estimated by measuring the stPCR product. Reverse primer for K-ras I stPCR (Kras-R) is as described in the previous report.For non-exon forward primer, amplification band was not obtained in some samples which may be caused by polymorphism. Therefore, a new primer (KrasF-1st shown as SEQ ID NO: 8 in the sequence listing below) was designed in the transcription initiation boundary region containing exon 1.
二番目は, 2ndPCR におけるアレル特異的プライマーにそれぞれに適切なミスマ ツチを導入することにより, 感度を確保したまま特異性を向上させることが可能と なった点である。 K-ras変異; 12Aと 12Tに対しては既報 {Takedaら, Hum Mutaion 2 (1993), 1 12- 7}のプライマーの 3'末から 3bp上流位置の Cを Gミスマッチとすること により(後掲配列表に各々配列番号 9および 1 0として示した Kras12A - 3g, Kras12T-3g), また 13Aに対しては新たに設計したプライマーを用い, 3'末から 3bp 上流位置の Gを Aミスマッチとすることにより (後掲配列表に配列番号 1 1として 示した Kras13A-1 a), それぞれ単独であるいは同時に用いた場合も Reverseプライ マー; Kras- R {Takedaら, Hum Mutaion 2 (1993), 112- 7}との組合せで良好な増幅結果 を得ることができた。 Second, by introducing appropriate mismatches into allele-specific primers in 2nd PCR, it is possible to improve specificity while maintaining sensitivity. That is the point. K-ras mutation; For 12A and 12T, a C mismatch at 3 bp upstream from the 3 'end of the primer of Takeda et al., Hum Mutaion 2 (1993), 1 12-7} For the Kras12A-3g and Kras12T-3g shown as SEQ ID NOs: 9 and 10 in the sequence listing, respectively, and for 13A, newly designed primers were used, and G at 3 bp upstream from the 3 'end was regarded as an A mismatch. (Kras13A-1a shown as SEQ ID NO: 11 in the sequence listing below), when used alone or simultaneously, reverse primer; Kras-R {Takeda et al., Hum Mutaion 2 (1993), 112 -7}, good amplification results were obtained.
三番目は, 特に特異性を確保するために重要な点であるが, 2ndPCRのアレル特 異的 PCRのサイクル数を 15サイクルと故意に少なく設定している点であり, PCR 反応がブラトーに達する前の状態で変異を特異的に検出するための重要な条件と なっている。 この条件は種々のバランスの上に成り立つており, I stPCR のサイク ル数 (35サイクル) や 2ndPCRのテンプレートとなる I stPCR産物の希釈倍率 (10 倍希釈) などが密接に関係する。  The third point, which is particularly important to ensure specificity, is that the number of allele-specific PCR cycles in the 2nd PCR is deliberately set to a low value of 15 cycles, and the PCR reaction reaches a plateau. This is an important condition for specifically detecting mutations in the previous state. These conditions are based on various balances, and are closely related to the number of cycles of IstPCR (35 cycles) and the dilution ratio of the IstPCR product used as a template for 2ndPCR (10-fold dilution).

After capping and mixing by inversion, spin down at 1,500 rpm and PCR. To start. At this time, in order to enhance the specificity of the PCR reaction, set the aluminum block of the PCR device to 94 ° C in advance and set it in the PCR device. The PCR conditions were: preheating at 94 ° C for 5 minutes, followed by 35 temperature cycles of 94 ° C for 30 seconds / 48 ° C for 30 seconds / 72 ° C for 30 seconds, and post-heating at 72 ° C for 7 minutes.

After addition, mix by pouring and transfer 100 XL into a microplate for fluorescence measurement. At this time, if the pumping cleaning is performed between the samples using an intercalating solution, the carryover is negligible, so that chip replacement is not necessary. After standing at room temperature for 5 minutes, measure the fluorescence intensity at an excitation / emission wavelength of 480/520 nm using a fluorescence microplate reader {here, a combination of Fluorolight 1000 (Dynatech) and a 96-well black plate}.

When / 3-globin was below the detection limit, determination was impossible due to insufficient DNA in the sample. The value of the net obtained by subtracting the fluorescence intensity of the reagent blank from the fluorescence intensity of HPV obtained in this way and the fluorescence intensity of) 3-globin was calculated, and the ratio (HPV / i3-globin) was calculated. It was possible to estimate the relative amount of HPV in the medium (Figure 1).
