Description

중합효소연쇄반응을 기반으로 한 표적 점 돌연변이의 검출 방법Detection method for target point mutations based on polymerase chain reaction
본 발명은 중합효소연쇄반응을 기반으로 한 표적 점 돌연변이의 검출방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for detecting a target point mutation based on a polymerase chain reaction.
유전자 상에 많이 존재하는 유전적인 변이는 암, 다발성 경화증 및 자가 면역 질환을 비롯한 다양한 질병의 많은 부분과 관련이 있다. 이로 인해 유전자 다형 검출은 개인 맞춤형 의료(Personalized Medicine)에 있어 필수적이다.Genetic variations that are abundant in genes are implicated in many parts of a variety of diseases, including cancer, multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune diseases. For this reason, gene polymorphism detection is essential for personalized medicine.
유전적 변이에는 치환, 결실, 삽입, 반복 등이 있다. 그 중에서 가장 많은 부분을 차지하는 것은 SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)에 의한 점 돌연변이(Point mutation)이며, 약 1000개의 염기서열 당 1개의 확률로 발생한다. Genetic variation includes substitutions, deletions, insertions, and repetitions. Among them, a point mutation by SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) accounts for the most part, and it occurs with a probability of 1 per 1000 base sequences.
이러한 점 돌연변이를 검출하기 위하여, 종래 수많은 점 돌연변이 분석 방법이 고안되어 왔는데, 대표적으로, allele-specific PCR 방법(예를 들어, 미국특허 제 5,639,611호 및 제 5,496,699), Taqman™ 프로브를 이용한 방법(예를 들어, 미국 특허 제 5,538,848호 및 제 6,326,145호) 및 차세대 염기서열 분석 방법(Ronaghi, Mostafa, et al. "Real-time DNA sequencing using detection of pyrophosphate release." Analytical biochemistry 242.1 (1996): 84-89.) 등이 있다.In order to detect such a point mutation, a number of point mutation analysis methods have been devised in the past. Representatively, an allele-specific PCR method (eg, US Patent Nos. 5,639,611 and 5,496,699), a method using a Taqman™ probe (eg, See, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,538,848 and 6,326,145) and next-generation sequencing methods (Ronaghi, Mostafa, et al. "Real-time DNA sequencing using detection of pyrophosphate release." Analytical biochemistry 242.1 (1996): 84-89) .) and so on.
그러나, 현재 가장 많이 활용되는 차세대 염기서열 분석 방법은 한번에 넓은 영역을 분석할 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 적은 빈도의 점 돌연변이 유전자를 검출하는데 있어 민감도가 떨어지며, 검사 기간이 길고 비싼 비용이 발생하는 한계점이 존재한다.However, the next-generation sequencing method, which is currently most used, has the advantage of being able to analyze a wide area at once, but has limitations in that it has low sensitivity in detecting a point mutant gene with a low frequency and a long test period and expensive cost. exist.
따라서, 특이도와 민감도가 높은 새로운 점 돌연변이 분석 방법이 지속적으로 요구되고 있는 실정이다.Therefore, a new point mutation analysis method with high specificity and sensitivity is continuously in demand.
한편, 단일염기서열변이(SNP, Single Nucletide Polymorphism)는 DNA 염기서열에서 하나의 염기서열이 치환되어 나타나는 유전적 변이로, 병의 원인 또는 치료제에 대한 반응 등 사람마다 개인차를 가져온다. 단일염기서열변이의 검출과 확인은 맞춤의약 뿐만 아니라 신약개발에도 연결되기 때문에 관심이 집중되고 있다. On the other hand, SNP (Single Nucletide Polymorphism) is a genetic mutation in which one nucleotide sequence is substituted in a DNA nucleotide sequence, which causes individual differences in each person, such as the cause of a disease or response to a treatment. The detection and confirmation of single nucleotide sequence mutations is attracting attention because it is linked to the development of new drugs as well as customized medicines.
따라서, 단일염기서열 변이의 신속한 검출을 위해서 실시간 PCR 기술을 응용한 다양한 검출 방법이 사용되고 있으며, 대표적으로, DNA 인터컬레이팅(intercalating) 형광물질을 사용하여 분석하는 방법, DNA 프로브를 이용하는 방법, 또는 PNA 프로브를 이용하는 방법 등이 있다. Therefore, various detection methods applying real-time PCR technology are used for rapid detection of single nucleotide sequence mutations. Representatively, a method using a DNA intercalating fluorescent material, a method using a DNA probe, or and a method using a PNA probe.
하지만 DNA 인터컬레이팅(intercalating) 형광물질을 사용함에 있어 제약을 가지며, 융해곡선을 분석하기 위한 프로그램 사용해야 한다는 단점을 가져 (Kirk M. Ririe et al., Analytical Biochemistry 245:154, 1997; U. Hladnik et al., Clin Exp Med, 2:105, 2002), 여전히 특이도와 민감도가 높은 새로운 점 돌연변이 분석 방법이 지속적으로 요구된다.However, it has limitations in using DNA intercalating fluorescent materials, and has the disadvantage that a program to analyze the melting curve must be used (Kirk M. Ririe et al., Analytical Biochemistry 245:154, 1997; U. Hladnik). et al., Clin Exp Med, 2:105, 2002), there is still a continuous need for new point mutation analysis methods with high specificity and sensitivity.
이러한 배경하에서, 본 발명자들은 점 돌연변이를 구분하는 헤어핀 형태의 프라이머를 이용 시 타겟에 선택적으로 증폭을 할 수 있고, 프로브를 이용하여 타겟에 맞는 싱글만을 확인하여 점 돌연변이를 선택적으로 구분할 수 있다는 점에 착안하여, 이러한 검출 방법이 종래 방법 대비 특이도와 민감도를 증진시키고, 보다 낮은 비용으로 신속하게 점 돌연변이를 분석할 수 있으며, 나아가 SNP를 구분 또는 진단을 위한 시약이나, 암이나 바이러스와 같은 다양한 분자 진단 시장에서 효과적으로 사용할 수 있음을 확인함으로써, 본 발명을 완성하였다.Under this background, the present inventors can selectively amplify a target when using a hairpin-type primer that discriminates point mutations, and use a probe to identify only singles that match the target to selectively distinguish point mutations. With this in mind, this detection method improves the specificity and sensitivity compared to the conventional method, it can analyze point mutations quickly at lower cost, and furthermore, it is a reagent for distinguishing or diagnosing SNPs, or diagnosing various molecules such as cancer or viruses. By confirming that it can be effectively used in the market, the present invention has been completed.

본 발명의 검출방법은 상기 중합효소연쇄반응을 기반으로 하고 있는 것으로서, 표적 점 돌연변이 영역을 포함하는 시료를 변성하고, 이후 헤어핀 프라이머가 결합하여 신장하고, 이후 다시 변성하여 리니어 프라이머 및 프로브가 결합한 후 신장되면서 프로브가 분해되어 형광수치가 측정되는 원리로 표적 시료 내 점 돌연변이를 검출할 수 있다.

Thereafter, primer 1 having a sequence complementary to the point mutation located in the denatured strand was bound at 2 to 64°C. In addition, the base (orange) complementary to the point mutation was extended after binding the primer at 3 to 64°C. After that, this strand was again denatured at 98°C. At 4 to 64 ° C, primer 2 is bound to the strand having a base complementary to the point mutation, and at 5 to 64 ° C, the strand is extended with primer 2 polymerase, and the target having a base complementary to the point mutation at 6 is was confirmed to be amplified.
다음으로, 도 2 (b)는 점 돌연변이가 없는 wild type의 표적에서의 증폭산물 생성 기작을 나타낸 것으로, 1은 점 돌연변이를 포함하지 않는 가닥을 표현한 것이고, 이 가닥을 98 ℃에서 변성하였다. 2는 상기 변성된 가닥에 64 ℃에서 프라이머가 결합한 것을 표현한 것이며, 3은 64 ℃에서 결합된 프라이머에 의해 신장된 산물을 나타낸다. 이 산물을 다시 98 ℃에서 변성시킨 후, 4에서 상기 3에서 생성된 가닥에 프라이머 2를 결합하고 5에서 64℃에서 프라이머 2에 의해 점 돌연변이를 갖고 있지 않은 타겟이 생성되는 기작을 나타내었으며, 이 후 6에서 점 돌연변이를 갖고 있지 않는 타겟이 생성되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.Next, FIG. 2 (b) shows the mechanism of generating an amplification product in a wild-type target without a point mutation, where 1 represents a strand not including a point mutation, and this strand was denatured at 98°C. 2 represents the binding of the primer to the denatured strand at 64° C., and 3 represents the product extended by the primer bound at 64° C. After this product was denatured at 98 ° C again, primer 2 was bound to the strand produced in step 3 in step 4, and a target having no point mutation was generated by primer 2 at 5 to 64 ° C. After 6, it was confirmed that a target without a point mutation was generated.
이로써, 점 돌연변이를 포함할 때와 포함하지 않을 때 어떻게 프라이머에 의해 증폭산물이 생성되는지 그 기작을 확인할 수 있었다.Thus, it was possible to confirm the mechanism of how the amplification product was generated by the primer when and when the point mutation was not included.
실시예 2: 본 발명의 조성물을 이용한 표적 점 돌연변이 유무에 따른 검출 여부 확인Example 2: Confirmation of detection according to the presence or absence of a target point mutation using the composition of the present invention
먼저, 본 발명의 표적 점 돌연변이 검출용 조성물의 구성을 도 1에 나타내었다. 구체적으로, 본 발명의 조성물은 (a) 표적 점 돌연변이 영역을 포함하는 시료; (b) 점 돌연변이를 구분하는 헤어핀 프라이머(Hairpin pimrer); (c) 프로브를 분해하는 리니어 프라이머; (d) 표적 점 돌연변이에 결합하는 프로브(probe) 및 (e) 중합효소(polymerase)를 포함한다.First, the composition of the composition for detecting a target point mutation of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1 . Specifically, the composition of the present invention comprises (a) a sample comprising a target point mutation region; (b) a hairpin primer for discriminating point mutations; (c) a linear primer that degrades the probe; (d) a probe that binds to the target point mutation and (e) a polymerase.
상기 조성물을 이용한 표적 점 돌연변이 유무에 따른 검출 여부를 확인하였으며, 구체적인 과정은 도 3에 나타내었다. Whether or not the target point mutation was detected using the composition was checked, and the specific process is shown in FIG. 3 .
구체적으로, 본 발명의 조성물을 이용한 표적 점 돌연변이 유무에 따른 검출 여부를 확인하는 방법 또한, 상기 실시예 1을 토대로 하고 있으며, 그 중 도 2 (a)의 1과 2는 동일하다. 이후, 도 3 (a)의 3에서 생성된 점 돌연변이와 상보적인 염기를 갖는 가닥에, 도 3 (a)의 4에서, 리니어 프라이머 및 프로브를 결합시키고, 도 3 (a)의 5에서, 상기 프로브가 중합효소의 exonuclease 기능에 의해 분해되고, 상기 프로브가 결합한 뒤 분해되면, 도 3 (a)의 6에서 확인할 수 있듯이, 프로브의 형광값을 확인할 수 있다.Specifically, the method of confirming the detection according to the presence or absence of a target point mutation using the composition of the present invention is also based on Example 1, and among them, 1 and 2 of FIG. 2 (a) are the same. Thereafter, the linear primer and probe are bound to the strand having a base complementary to the point mutation generated in 3 of FIG. 3 (a), in 4 of FIG. 3 (a), and in 5 of FIG. 3 (a), the When the probe is decomposed by the exonuclease function of the polymerase and the probe is bound and then decomposed, as shown in 6 of FIG. 3(a), the fluorescence value of the probe can be confirmed.
반면, 점 돌연변이가 존재하지 않을 경우, 도 3의 (b)에서 확인할 수 있듯이, 도 3의 (b) 3)에서와 같이, 헤어핀 프라이머는 프라이머의 3' 말단 서열과 점 돌연변이를 갖고 있지 않은 서열과 상보적이지 않아, 헤어핀 구조의 줄기 부분이 완전히 펴지지 않게 되고, 이로써 신장되지 않는 것을 확인하였다. On the other hand, when there is no point mutation, as can be seen in (b) of FIG. 3, as in (b) 3) of FIG. 3), the hairpin primer has a 3' end sequence of the primer and a sequence that does not have a point mutation It was not complementary to, and it was confirmed that the stem portion of the hairpin structure was not completely straightened, thereby not elongating.
다만, 이 경우에도 일부 타겟이 신장되고(도 3의 (b) 4 참조), 도 3 (b)의 4 내지 6에서 확인할 수 있듯이, 가닥이 일부 신장되어 리니어 프라이머가 결합은 하지만 프로브는 결합하지 못하게 되어, 중합효소에 의해 새로운 가닥이 신장된다 하더라도 프로브가 결합하지 못함으로써 형광값을 측정할 수 없었다.However, even in this case, some targets are extended (refer to (b) 4 of FIG. 3), and as can be seen in 4 to 6 of FIG. 3 (b), some of the strands are stretched so that the linear primer binds but the probe does not. Therefore, even if a new strand is extended by the polymerase, the probe cannot bind, so the fluorescence value could not be measured.
상기 실시예 1 및 2를 종합하면, 본 발명의 조성물을 이용 시 표적 시료 내 점 돌연변이를 포함 시에는 헤어핀 구조의 프라이머가 완전히 펴져 신장됨으로써 새로운 가닥이 형성되고, 여기에 리니어 프라이머와 프로브가 결합한 후 이후 중합효소에 의해 프로브가 분해되면서 형광값을 측정함으로써, 표적 시료 내 점 돌연변이의 유무를 단 하나의 실험만으로도 효과적이고 신속하게 검출할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.Combining Examples 1 and 2, when using the composition of the present invention, when a point mutation is included in the target sample, the primer of the hairpin structure is completely stretched and extended to form a new strand, and after binding of the linear primer and the probe thereto Thereafter, by measuring the fluorescence value while the probe was decomposed by the polymerase, it was confirmed that the presence or absence of a point mutation in the target sample could be effectively and quickly detected using only one experiment.
실시예 3: 본 발명의 검출방법에서 중합효소연쇄반응의 열순환 과정 및 헤어핀 구조의 프라이머 검출 능력 확인Example 3: Confirmation of the thermocycling process of the polymerase chain reaction and the primer detection ability of the hairpin structure in the detection method of the present invention
본 발명의 검출방법에서 중합효소연쇄반응의 열순환 과정의 구체적인 조건을 확립하고, 헤어핀 구조의 프라이머 검출 능력을 확인해 보았다. In the detection method of the present invention, specific conditions of the thermocycling process of the polymerase chain reaction were established, and the ability to detect the primer of the hairpin structure was checked.
구체적으로, 도 4에서 본 발명의 중합효소연쇄반응의 열순환 과정을 온도와 시간을 기준으로 나타냈으며, denaturation은 98 ℃에서 2분을 수행 후 이후 10초를 더 수행하고, 이후 annealing 및 extension은 64 ℃에서 20초 정도 수행하였을 때 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. Specifically, in FIG. 4, the thermocycling process of the polymerase chain reaction of the present invention is shown based on temperature and time, denaturation is performed at 98 ° C. for 2 minutes, then 10 seconds are further performed, and then annealing and extension are It was confirmed that it was effective when it was carried out at 64 °C for about 20 seconds.
다음으로, 프라이머를 헤어핀 구조로 제조하였을 때와 그러한 구조를 가지지 않았을 시의 점 돌연변이 확인 정도에 있어 어느 정도 차이가 있는지 확인하였다. Next, it was confirmed whether there was any difference in the degree of point mutation confirmation when the primer was prepared in a hairpin structure and when it did not have such a structure.
구체적으로, 도 5의 (a)에 사용된 프라이머는 헤어핀 형태를 만들지 않은 리니어(Linear)한 형태의 프라이머를 사용하였으며, 도 5의 (b)에 사용된 프라이머는 프라이머 내에 역반복 서열을 추가해 헤어핀 형태로 만든 뒤 PCR 실험을 진행하였다. Specifically, the primer used in (a) of FIG. 5 used a linear type primer that did not make a hairpin shape, and the primer used in FIG. After making it in the form, PCR experiments were carried out.
그 결과, 도 5의 (a)서 확인할 수 있듯이, 프라이머를 헤어핀 형태로 제조하지 않은 프라이머로 점 돌연변이가 없는 타겟을 측정한 Ct(threshold cycle, C(T), Ct) 값은 32로 측정된 반면, 도 5의 (b)에서 확인할 수 있듯이, 프라이머를 헤어핀 형태를 제조하여, 점 돌연변이를 보다 더 잘 구분할 수 있도록 만든 헤어핀 프라이머의 경우는 점 돌연변이가 없는 타겟의 Ct 값이 40으로 측정되는 것을 알 수 있었다. qPCR에서 Ct 값이 증가한다는 것은 증폭에 필요한 cycle이 많아진다는 것을 의미하기 때문에, 증폭이 억제되고 있다고 해석될 수 있다. 따라서, 상기 결과로부터 실제로 프라이머 내에 역반복 서열을 추가하여 헤어핀 형태를 만들어주면 Ct 값이 8 증가하므로, 이로써, 프라이머에 역반복서열을 이용하여 헤어핀 형태를 만들어주면 증폭을 256(28)배 억제하는 것을 알 수 있다.As a result, as can be seen in (a) of FIG. 5 , the Ct (threshold cycle, C(T), Ct) value measured as a target without a point mutation with a primer not prepared in the form of a hairpin was measured as 32. On the other hand, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5 , in the case of a hairpin primer prepared in the form of a hairpin to better distinguish a point mutation, the Ct value of the target without a point mutation was measured as 40. Could know. Since an increase in the Ct value in qPCR means that the number of cycles required for amplification increases, it can be interpreted that amplification is suppressed. Therefore, from the above results, if the hairpin form is actually created by adding the reverse repeat sequence to the primer, the Ct value increases by 8. Therefore, if the hairpin form is made using the reverse repeat sequence in the primer, amplification is suppressed by 256 ( 28) times. it can be seen that
실시예 4: 프라이머 내 헤어핀 형태의 유무에 따른 Ct 값 측정 결과 확인Example 4: Confirmation of Ct value measurement results according to the presence or absence of hairpin form in the primer
프라이머 내 헤어핀 형태의 유무에 따른 Ct 값의 변화를 확인하기 위하여, 프라이머에 헤어핀 형태가 있을 때와 없을 때로 나누어, 야생형으로 농도별로 실험을 진행하였다. 구체적인 실험 방법은 실시예 3과 같다.In order to confirm the change in the Ct value according to the presence or absence of the hairpin type in the primer, the experiment was conducted by concentration with the wild type by dividing the primer into the presence and absence of the hairpin type. The specific experimental method is the same as in Example 3.
그 결과, 도 6에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이, 야생형 농도에 상관 없이, 프라이머에 헤어핀 형태가 있으면 Ct 값이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이로써, 프라이머에 헤어핀 형태가 있으면 야생형 증폭을 효과적으로 억제할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.As a result, as can be seen in FIG. 6 , it was confirmed that the Ct value increased when the primer had a hairpin form, regardless of the wild-type concentration. Accordingly, it was confirmed that wild-type amplification could be effectively suppressed if the primer had a hairpin form.
또한, 헤어핀 프라이머 종류에 따른 Ct 값을 확인해 보았다. In addition, the Ct value according to the type of hairpin primer was checked.
그 결과, 도 7에서 확인할 수 있는 바와 같이, 헤어핀 프라이머 LNA에서 DNA 대비 야생형, 변이형, negative에서 보다 Ct 값이 증가하여 보다 효과적으로 증폭을 억제할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.As a result, as can be seen in FIG. 7 , it was confirmed that the Ct value was increased in the hairpin primer LNA compared to the DNA in the wild type, the mutant type, and the negative type to more effectively inhibit amplification.
실시예 5: TMAC를 추가로 포함할 때의 Ct 값 측정 결과 확인Example 5: Confirmation of Ct value measurement results when additionally including TMAC
본 발명의 표적 점 돌연변이 검출용 조성물에 TMAC를 추가로 포함하였을 때 변이체와 야생형의 Ct 값을 각각 확인해 보았다. 구체적인 실험 방법은 실시예 3과 같다.When TMAC was additionally included in the composition for detecting a target point mutation of the present invention, the Ct values of the mutant and wild type were checked, respectively. The specific experimental method is the same as in Example 3.
그 결과, 도 8 및 도 9에서 확인할 수 있듯이, TMAC 농도를 5 내지 20mM 로 증가시켰을 때, 변이체 및 야생형의 Ct 값은 농도가 높아질수록 야생형의 Ct 값이 더 많이 높아져 특이성(specificity)의 측정 기준인 △Ct 값이 더 커지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 야생형 만을 따로 비교하였을 때도, TMAC 농도가 높아질수록 야생형의 Ct 값이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.As a result, as can be seen in FIGS. 8 and 9 , when the TMAC concentration was increased to 5 to 20 mM, the Ct value of the mutant and wild type increased as the concentration increased. It could be confirmed that the ΔCt value of phosphorus increased, and when only wild-type was compared separately, it was confirmed that the wild-type Ct value increased as the TMAC concentration increased.
