Description

一种多重扩增方法A multiplex amplification method 技术领域technical field
本申请属于生物技术领域,涉及一种多重扩增方法。The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a multiplex amplification method.
背景技术Background technique
多重PCR(Multiplex polymerase chain reaction,MPCR)是指通过一次PCR反应同时对多个靶标进行扩增,结合一定的检测手段对扩增产物进行检测从而实现对多个靶标进行检测的技术。MPCR具有高效率、高通量、低成本的特性而被深入研究,不仅能大幅提升检测效率,还降低了检测成本。MPCR已经应用于许多领域,包括基因突变与缺失、基因分型与定量、遗传检测、伴随诊断等。目前的MPCR主要可以分为液相MPCR,基于微流控的MPCR和固相载体的多重PCR。Multiplex PCR (Multiplex polymerase chain reaction, MPCR) refers to the simultaneous amplification of multiple targets through a PCR reaction, and the detection of the amplified products combined with certain detection methods to realize the detection of multiple targets. MPCR has been deeply studied due to its high efficiency, high throughput and low cost, which can not only greatly improve the detection efficiency, but also reduce the detection cost. MPCR has been applied in many fields, including gene mutation and deletion, genotyping and quantification, genetic testing, companion diagnostics, etc. The current MPCR can be mainly divided into liquid-phase MPCR, microfluidic-based MPCR and solid-phase carrier multiplex PCR.
液相MPCR采用多个靶标的特异性引物对多个靶标进行扩增,但是这种方式是在同一个反应中引入了多重扩增引物。随着所要检测的靶标分子数量的增加,管内核苷酸链数目也会呈2倍的增加,各核苷酸链之间互搭形成二聚体甚至多聚体的可能性大幅上升,轻则导致非特异性扩增的出现,靶标扩增效率下降,检测灵敏度和特异性降低,重则导致非特异性扩增占据主导,靶标扩增失败。同时,这类设计方式还会导致每重靶标分子扩增效率不一致的问题。目前也有多重连接探针扩增技术(multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification,MLPA)、基于发夹结构(PCT/US2002/037238)和两轮扩增(PCT专利WO 96/41012)的检测策略的报道。MLPA先针对不同靶标分子末端信息设计相应的特异性连接引物和通用扩增引物,但是该技术不仅需要连接反应来启动反应,而且还受到连接酶特异性、连接引物制备困难、引物数量和浓度等对扩增的干扰。PCT/US2002/037238采用一种基于长引物的扩增模式虽然在原理上可以实现对5’末端的信息类型进行检测,但是该方案需要在第一步扩增后加入酶或者化学法切割的步骤以及繁杂的预扩增纯化过程,不仅降低了反应的灵敏度,而且增加了操作的复杂性。PCT专利WO 96/41012披露了一种两轮扩增的检测策略,但是该方案不仅无法对多重特定靶标序列上5’末端的信息类型进行检测,而且存在引物数量较多、扩增存在竞争的问题。Liquid-phase MPCR uses multiple target-specific primers to amplify multiple targets, but in this way, multiple amplification primers are introduced into the same reaction. With the increase of the number of target molecules to be detected, the number of nucleotide chains in the tube will also increase by 2 times, and the possibility of forming dimers or even multimers between each nucleotide chain greatly increases. This leads to the emergence of non-specific amplification, the reduction of target amplification efficiency, and the reduction of detection sensitivity and specificity. In severe cases, non-specific amplification dominates and target amplification fails. At the same time, this kind of design method also leads to the problem of inconsistent amplification efficiency of each target molecule. There are also reports of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), detection strategies based on hairpin structure (PCT/US2002/037238) and two-round amplification (PCT patent WO 96/41012). MLPA first designs corresponding specific ligation primers and universal amplification primers according to the end information of different target molecules, but this technology not only requires ligation reaction to initiate the reaction, but also suffers from ligase specificity, difficulty in preparing ligation primers, primer quantity and concentration, etc. Interference with amplification. PCT/US2002/037238 adopts an amplification mode based on long primers, although in principle, the information type of the 5' end can be detected, but this scheme requires the addition of enzymes or chemical cleavage steps after the first step of amplification And the complicated pre-amplification purification process not only reduces the sensitivity of the reaction, but also increases the complexity of the operation. PCT patent WO 96/41012 discloses a detection strategy of two rounds of amplification, but this scheme not only cannot detect the information type of the 5' end of multiple specific target sequences, but also has a large number of primers and competition in amplification. question.
基于微流控芯片的MPCR通过在芯片微孔中预装填不同的引物对的方法将各重扩增限制在各自的独立空间内。这类技术由于其扩增方式的特殊性而使用到专属的检测仪器,其技术的复杂性使其实现较为困难。Microfluidic chip-based MPCR confines each multiple amplification in its own independent space by pre-filling different primer pairs in the micropores of the chip. Due to the particularity of its amplification method, this type of technology uses a dedicated detection instrument, and its technical complexity makes it difficult to implement.
基于固相载体的MPCR主要有基于液相芯片的多重检测技术。液相芯片以编码后的微球为基质进行多重检测。液相芯片虽然在检测方面有多通量、高效率的特性,但是由于其先要进行液相多重扩增再采用编码微球进行杂交鉴别,实质上并没有解决多重扩增中众多引物和模板间相互错配的问题。MPCR based on solid phase carrier mainly includes multiplex detection technology based on liquid phase chip. The LC chip uses the encoded microspheres as the matrix for multiplex detection. Although the liquid-phase chip has the characteristics of multi-throughput and high efficiency in detection, it does not substantially solve the problem of many primers and templates in the multiplex amplification because it needs to perform multiplex amplification in liquid phase and then use encoded microspheres for hybridization identification. The problem of mismatch between them.
综上,MPCR虽有着广泛的应用前景,但是目前现有技术面临着扩增效率下降、模板之间扩增效率不一致以及操作步骤比较繁琐等问题。因此,亟需发展简单、方便、高效的单反应、多重核酸等效扩增技术。In conclusion, although MPCR has broad application prospects, the current technology is faced with problems such as decreased amplification efficiency, inconsistent amplification efficiency between templates, and complicated operation steps. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a simple, convenient and efficient single-reaction and multiplex nucleic acid equivalent amplification technology.
发明内容SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
为了克服传统MPCR技术所面临的扩增效率下降、模板之间扩增效率不一致以及操作步骤繁琐等缺陷,本申请提出了一种新的多重扩增方法,该方法包括两个步骤:第一步,采用捕获寡核苷酸结合靶标分子并启动特异性线性扩增,得到含有可被通用引物引发指数扩增的中间序列。第二步,对第一步由靶标分子线性扩增得到的多重中间序列,实施通用引物引发的多重指数扩增。本申请提出的捕获寡核苷酸,由于采用了特殊的分子序列设计,不仅能够保证对靶标分子的特异性线性扩增,而且能够保证线性扩增产物可通过自我折叠和自我延伸,形成含有可被通用引物引发指数扩增的通用序列及与多重靶标分子对应的特异性序列。由于线性扩增过程只须低浓度(普通多重PCR引物浓度的1/20-1/40)的单根特异性捕获寡核苷酸引发,不仅保证了扩增的特异性,而且有效地降低了MPCR反应中所需的引物浓度和数量,避免引物彼此之间的相互干扰;通用引物引发的多重指数扩增,不仅显著提高了扩增的效率,保证了反应的灵敏度,而且实现了对多种不同靶标分子的等效扩增。上述两个步骤的结合,使得本申请有效地解决了传统MPCR扩增技术所存在的关键问题。In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional MPCR technology such as decreased amplification efficiency, inconsistent amplification efficiency between templates, and complicated operation steps, the present application proposes a new multiplex amplification method, which includes two steps: the first step , using capture oligonucleotides to bind target molecules and initiate specific linear amplification to obtain intermediate sequences that can be amplified exponentially by universal primers. In the second step, the multiplex exponential amplification initiated by the universal primer is performed on the multiple intermediate sequences obtained by linear amplification of the target molecule in the first step. The capture oligonucleotide proposed in this application, because of the special molecular sequence design, can not only ensure the specific linear amplification of the target molecule, but also ensure that the linear amplification product can be self-folding and self-extending to form a Universal sequences that are exponentially amplified by universal primers and specific sequences corresponding to multiple target molecules. Since the linear amplification process requires only a low concentration (1/20-1/40 of the concentration of ordinary multiplex PCR primers) single-specific capture oligonucleotides, it not only ensures the specificity of amplification, but also effectively reduces the The concentration and quantity of primers required in the MPCR reaction avoid mutual interference between primers; the multiple exponential amplification initiated by universal primers not only significantly improves the efficiency of amplification, ensures the sensitivity of the reaction, but also realizes the Equivalent amplification of different target molecules. The combination of the above two steps enables the present application to effectively solve the key problems existing in the traditional MPCR amplification technology.

值得提出的是,由于现有的寡核苷酸合成技术的局限,使得捕获寡核苷酸在合成过程中可能会产生序列片段不完整的副产物,然而根据本申请,由于捕获寡核苷酸折叠区域的序列来源于靶标分子,上述副产物的存在可能引发非特异性扩增;因此,本申请为进一步提高检测体系的特异性,将捕获寡核苷酸的折叠序列采用核酸类似物进行修饰,在保证折叠序列正常的碱基互补配对功能的情况下,抑制所合成的捕获寡核苷酸副产物延伸,阻断原始基因片段或基因组的非特异性扩增,从而提高检测体系的特异性。It is worth mentioning that due to the limitations of the existing oligonucleotide synthesis technology, the capture oligonucleotide may produce by-products with incomplete sequence fragments during the synthesis process. However, according to the present application, due to the capture oligonucleotide The sequence of the folding region is derived from the target molecule, and the presence of the above-mentioned by-products may cause non-specific amplification; therefore, in order to further improve the specificity of the detection system, the folding sequence of the capture oligonucleotide is modified with nucleic acid analogs, Under the condition of ensuring the normal base complementary pairing function of the folded sequence, the by-product extension of the synthesized capture oligonucleotide is inhibited, and the non-specific amplification of the original gene fragment or genome is blocked, thereby improving the specificity of the detection system.

本申请中,只有在捕获寡核苷酸、通用引物和/或特异性引物的共同参与下才能发生扩增反应,简述如下:在双通用引物扩增体系中,采用的通用引物的核酸序列与捕获寡核苷酸的第一通用序列或第二通用序列相同或部分相同,在没有5’端序列确定的靶标分子存在的情况下无法启动PCR扩增反应。当体系中有5’端序列确定的靶标分子的存在时,将触发由捕获寡核苷酸引发的延伸反应,形成具有发夹式结构的中间产物,并以其作为通用引物扩增反应的模板;同时,由于只有当延伸反应的延伸序列与折叠序列能够形成互补配对时,才能使得延长的捕获寡核苷酸发生自我折叠并形成发夹式结构,有效地保证了反应的特异性。延伸序列与折叠序列可以是完全互补配对,也可以是不完全互补配对。In this application, the amplification reaction can only occur with the participation of the capture oligonucleotide, the universal primer and/or the specific primer, which is briefly described as follows: In the dual universal primer amplification system, the nucleic acid sequence of the universal primer used The PCR amplification reaction cannot be initiated in the absence of the target molecule defined by the 5' end sequence that is identical or partially identical to the first universal sequence or the second universal sequence of the capture oligonucleotide. When there is a target molecule with a defined 5'-end sequence in the system, the extension reaction initiated by the capture oligonucleotide will be triggered to form an intermediate product with a hairpin structure, which will be used as a template for the universal primer amplification reaction At the same time, since the extended capture oligonucleotide can self-fold and form a hairpin structure only when the extension sequence and the folding sequence of the extension reaction can form a complementary pairing, the specificity of the reaction is effectively ensured.

实施例1 本申请扩增的基本原理Example 1 The basic principle of the amplification of the present application
本申请包括两种模式:双通用引物模式和单通用引物模式,原理如图1(A)和图1(B)所示。This application includes two modes: double universal primer mode and single universal primer mode, the principle is shown in Figure 1 (A) and Figure 1 (B).
在双通用引物扩增中,捕获寡核苷酸包括四个区域:第一通用序列U1s、折叠序列T1s、第二通用序列U2s和结合捕获序列T2a,捕获寡核苷酸首先通过结合捕获序列T2a捕获5’端序列确定的靶标分子,随后以靶标分子为模板进行延伸反应,在3’端添加折叠序列T1s的互补链T1a,得到的延长的捕获寡核苷酸。T1a与T1s可以为完全互补,也可以为不完全互补,只要T1a与T1s能够诱发分子内的自我折叠并形成半发夹结构产物。所述半发夹结构产物继续在聚合酶的作用下进一步延伸,在3’端添加第一通用序列U1s的互补链U1a,得到的发夹式结构产物,该产物可以采用与第一通用序列U1s和第二通用序列U2s相同或部分相同的通用引物进行PCR扩增检测。具体方式为,通用引物U1s(此处为说明方便使用U1s指代,实际 序列可以不完全与U1s相同)在退火阶段与发夹式结构产物的U1a区域结合并进行延伸,当发夹式结构产物的第二通用序列与折叠序列之间存在核酸延伸阻断位点时,延伸在核酸延伸阻断位点处停止,形成局部双链结构,通用引物U1s延伸形成的产物,刚好是通用引物U1s和U2s的PCR模板,可以使用通用引物U1s和U2s进行后续PCR扩增检测。当发夹式结构产物的第二通用序列与折叠序列之间不存在核酸延伸阻断位点时,通用引物U1s延伸形成完整的双链结构,新生成的双链结构的局部区域是通用引物U1s和U2s的PCR模板,可以使用通用引物U1s和U2s进行后续PCR扩增检测。In the dual universal primer amplification, the capture oligonucleotide includes four regions: the first universal sequence U1s, the folding sequence T1s, the second universal sequence U2s and the binding capture sequence T2a, the capture oligonucleotide first passes through the binding capture sequence T2a The target molecule whose 5'-end sequence is determined is captured, and then the target molecule is used as a template to carry out an extension reaction, and the complementary strand T1a of the folded sequence T1s is added to the 3'-end to obtain an extended capture oligonucleotide. T1a and T1s can be completely complementary or incomplete, as long as T1a and T1s can induce intramolecular self-folding and form a half-hairpin structure product. The half-hairpin structure product continues to be further extended under the action of polymerase, and the complementary chain U1a of the first universal sequence U1s is added to the 3' end to obtain a hairpin structure product, which can be the same as the first universal sequence U1s. PCR amplification detection is carried out with universal primers identical to or partially identical to the second universal sequence U2s. The specific method is that the universal primer U1s (here is referred to by U1s for the convenience of illustration, the actual sequence may not be completely the same as U1s) is combined with the U1a region of the hairpin structure product in the annealing stage and extended, when the hairpin structure product is When there is a nucleic acid extension blocking site between the second universal sequence and the folding sequence, the extension stops at the nucleic acid extension blocking site, forming a local double-stranded structure. The PCR template of U2s can use the universal primers U1s and U2s for subsequent PCR amplification detection. When there is no nucleic acid extension blocking site between the second universal sequence of the hairpin structure product and the folding sequence, the universal primer U1s is extended to form a complete double-stranded structure, and the local area of the newly generated double-stranded structure is the universal primer U1s and U2s PCR template, you can use the universal primers U1s and U2s for subsequent PCR amplification detection.
在单通用引物扩增中,捕获寡核苷酸主要包括三个区域:第一通用序列U1s、折叠序列T1s和结合捕获序列T3a,捕获寡核苷酸首先通过结合捕获序列T3a捕获5’端序列确定的靶标分子。随后以靶标分子为模板进行延伸反应,在3’端添加折叠序列T1s的互补链T1a,得到的延长的捕获寡核苷酸。T1a与T1s可以为完全互补,也可以为不完全互补,只要T1a与T1s能够诱发分子内的自我折叠并形成半发夹结构产物。所述半发夹结构产物继续在聚合酶的作用下进一步延伸,在3’端添加第一通用序列U1s的互补链U1a,得到的发夹式结构的中间产物,该中间产物可以采用与第一通用序列U1s相同或部分相同的通用引物、和靶标分子的特异性引物进行PCR扩增检测。具体方式为,通用引物U1s(此处为说明方便使用U1s指代,实际序列可以不完全与U1s相同)在退火阶段与发夹式结构产物的U1a区域结合并进行延伸,当发夹式结构产物的结合捕获序列与折叠序列之间存在核酸延伸阻断位点时,延伸在核酸延伸阻断位点处停止,形成局部双链结构,通用引物U1s延伸形成的产物,刚好是通用引物U1s和特异性引物T2a的PCR模板,可以使用通用引物U1s和特异性引物T2a进行后续PCR扩增检测。当发夹式结构产物的结合捕获序列与折叠序列之间不存在核酸延伸阻断位点时,通用引物U1s延伸形成完整的双链结构,新生成的双链结构的局部区域是通用引物U1s和特异性引物T2a的PCR模板,可以使用通用引物U1s和特异性引物T2a进行后续PCR扩增检测。In the single universal primer amplification, the capture oligonucleotide mainly includes three regions: the first universal sequence U1s, the folding sequence T1s and the binding capture sequence T3a, the capture oligonucleotide first captures the 5'-end sequence by binding the capture sequence T3a identified target molecules. Then, the target molecule is used as a template to carry out an extension reaction, and the complementary strand T1a of the folded sequence T1s is added to the 3' end to obtain an extended capture oligonucleotide. T1a and T1s can be completely complementary or incomplete, as long as T1a and T1s can induce intramolecular self-folding and form a half-hairpin structure product. The half-hairpin structure product continues to be further extended under the action of the polymerase, and the complementary chain U1a of the first universal sequence U1s is added to the 3' end to obtain an intermediate product of the hairpin structure, and the intermediate product can be used with the first universal sequence U1a. The universal primers with the same or partially the same universal sequence U1s and the specific primers of the target molecule are used for PCR amplification detection. The specific method is that the universal primer U1s (here is referred to by U1s for the convenience of illustration, the actual sequence may not be completely the same as U1s) is combined with the U1a region of the hairpin structure product in the annealing stage and extended, when the hairpin structure product is When there is a nucleic acid extension blocking site between the binding capture sequence and the folding sequence, the extension stops at the nucleic acid extension blocking site, forming a local double-stranded structure.

结果如图9(A)和图9(B)所示,两种捕获寡核苷酸在120拷贝和12拷贝的阳性模板中都能显示阳性结果;但是在普通捕获寡核苷酸体系中,当非甲基化基因组(jurkat DNA)添加到100ng的时候,普通捕获寡核苷酸组产生非特异性扩增,是由于捕获寡核苷酸的合成副产物与靶标分子结合延伸所引发的;在捕获寡核苷酸的折叠序列引入LNA修饰后,既能保证扩增效率(能检测出120拷贝和12拷贝的阳性),而且在高浓度非甲基化基因组(100ng)中,不会引发非特异性扩增,其抑制非特异性扩增的机制是,当折叠序列引入核酸类似物修饰后,能在保证折叠区域碱基互补配对的情况下,抑制引物的合成副产物延伸。所以通过结果可以看出,折叠序列的核酸类似物修饰能提高检测体系的特异性。The results are shown in Figure 9(A) and Figure 9(B), both capture oligonucleotides can show positive results in 120 copies and 12 copies of the positive template; but in the common capture oligonucleotide system, When the unmethylated genome (jurkat DNA) is added to 100ng, the common capture oligonucleotide group produces non-specific amplification, which is caused by the binding and extension of the synthetic by-product of the capture oligonucleotide and the target molecule; in After the folded sequence of the capture oligonucleotide is introduced into LNA modification, it can not only ensure the amplification efficiency (120 copies and 12 copies can be detected as positive), but also in the high concentration of unmethylated genome (100ng), it will not cause non-specific Heterogeneous amplification, the mechanism of inhibiting non-specific amplification is that when the folding sequence is modified by introducing nucleic acid analogs, it can inhibit the extension of synthetic by-products of primers under the condition of ensuring the base pairing of the folding region. Therefore, it can be seen from the results that the modification of nucleic acid analogs of the folding sequence can improve the specificity of the detection system.
