Definitions
- the invention belongs to the technical field of multiple RT-PCR amplification, and specifically relates to a multiple RT-PCR amplification method and application thereof.
- ALK-EML gene fusion can be used for targeted drug therapy of non-small lung cancer
- micro RNA and ctDNA can be used for early screening and diagnosis of tumors
- hsp65 sequences can be used for identification and typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
本发明提供一种多重RT-PCR扩增方法,通过将引物设计为完全或部分互补的发卡结构,使引物3'端在RT过程中丧失结合和延伸的能力,并且引物的5'端链包含一个或多个被特异性切割剂切割的切割位点,从而在RT过程中引物的5'端链的切割位点被特异性切割剂切割,但维持互补双链;在PCR的高温过程中,被切割的5'端链游离,释放出3'端链作为靶标扩增的引物,重新获得3'端引物和模板结合和延伸的能力。
Description
本发明属于多重RT-PCR扩增技术领域,具体涉及一种多重RT-PCR扩增方法及其应用。
近年来,分子检测技术飞速发展,广泛应用于包括肿瘤、遗传病、病原微生物检测等领域。随着各种疾病生物标志物的发现,越来越多的生物标准物用于疾病的诊断、治疗和预后。如ALK-EML基因融合可用于非小型肺癌的靶向药物治疗,micro RNA、ctDNA可以用于肿瘤的早期筛查和诊断,hsp65序列可用于结核分支杆菌的鉴定和分型等。
目前最常用的分子检测技术是RT-qPCR,其操作简单、检测封闭等优点被临床使用,但由于RT-qPCR一次检测的靶标较少,限制了其的应用范围。高分辨熔解曲线的发明使RT-qPCR在一管中实现多个靶标的检测成为了可能,大大拓展了RT-qPCR的应用范围。但对于多重RT-qPCR的扩增反应却并不容易,最大的难点在于RT步骤和PCR步骤是在一个反应,在RT过程中的副产物会严重影响后续的PCR扩增,主要表现在:1)特异性引物在RT过程中容易和模板非特异性结合,产生非特异性产物,并且在后续的PCR扩增中进行指数积累,即在多靶标的RT-qPCR的RT反应中,不同特异性引物3端和模板会有局部的匹配,RT酶会进行会在局部匹配的情况下发生延伸反应,导致非特异性的产生,并在后续的PCR反应中指数放大;2)特异性引物在RT过程中容易互相结合并延伸,形成二聚体,在后续PCR过程中指数积累,导致整个反应的提前终止,即在多靶标的RT-qPCR的RT反应中,不同特异性引物3端之间会有局部的匹配,逆转录酶会进行会在局部匹配的情况下发生延伸反应,产生二聚体,在后续的PCR过程中指数放大。因此,开发一个多靶标的RT-qPCR试剂盒往往需要经过大量的引物设计、调整和优化,整个过程繁琐复杂,随着靶标的数量增加,其优化难度往往也指数增加。因此,急需一种可以有效避免RT-PCR中的RT反应中的非特异性扩增和二聚体生成的多重RT-PCR扩增方法。

在多重RT-PCR过程中,RT过程中的副产物严重影响了PCR过程,主要表现在:b1)不同特异性引物3’端和模板会有局部的匹配,逆转录酶会进行会在局部匹配的情况下发生延伸反应,导致非特异性产物的产生,并在后续的PCR反应中指数放大;b2)不同特异性引物3’端之间会有局部的匹配,逆转录酶会进行会在局部匹配的情况下发生延伸反应,产生二聚体,在后续的PCR过程中指数放大;
在本发明中,发明人创造性地将引物(上游引物和/或下游引物)设计为完全互补或部分互补的发卡结构(3’端部分互补的发卡结构或5’端部分互补的发卡结构),从而使引物3’端在RT过程中丧失结合能力(不与模板发生非特异性结合和/或避免引物之间结合)和延伸能力,并且该引物的5’端链包含一个或多个可以被特异性切割剂切割的切割位点(图1),从而在RT-PCR的RT过程中引物的5’端链的切割位点被特异性切割剂切割(对于3’端部分互补的发卡结构的引物还包含引物在逆转录酶和/或DNA聚合酶的作用下延伸得到完全互补的发卡结构的引物的步骤),但在RT过程中维持互补的双链状态;在后续的PCR的高温过程(例如热变性)中,被切割的5’端链游离,释放出3’端链作为目标区域扩增的引物,重新获得引物3’端与模板结合和延伸的能力,对于完全互补或部分互补的发卡结构的引物的扩增原理(图2)具体如下:
e1)引物结构为完全互补的发卡结构:特异性序列(上游特异性序列和/或下游特异性序列,对应上述的第二序列和第四序列)和与其完全互补的寡核苷酸链(例如DNA链,对应上述的第一序列和第三序列)形成“封闭”发卡结构,可以阻止引物在RT过程中和模板非特异性结合以及引物之间的结合,其中,引物的5’端链包含一个或多个被可以被特异性切割剂切割的切割位点,从而在RT-PCR的RT过程中引物的5’端链的切割位点被特异性切割剂切割,但在RT过程中维持互补的双链状态;在后续的PCR的高温过程(例如热变性)中,被切割的5’端链游离,释放出3’端链作为目标区域扩增的引物;
e2)引物结构为部分互补的发卡结构:
e21)当引物结构为3’端部分互补的发卡结构时,与特异性序列(上游特异性序列和/或下游特异性序列)互补的寡核苷酸链(对应上述的第一序列和第三序列)和部分特异性序列(特异性序列的5’端序列,对应上述的第二序列和第四序列)形成3’端部分互补的发卡结构(即具有5’突出端的发卡结构),其中,引物的5’端链包含一个或多个可以被特异性切割剂切割的切割位点;首先,RT过程中,引物在逆转录酶和/或DNA聚合酶的作用下延伸,得到包含特异性序列全序列的引物,并形成完全互补的发卡结构;并且,引物的5’端链的切割位点被特异性切割剂切割,但在RT过程中维持互补的双链状态;在后续的PCR的高温过程(例如热变性)中,被切割的5’端链游离,释放出3’端链作为目标区域扩增的引物;
e22)当引物结构为5’端部分互补的发卡结构时,特异性序列(上游特异性序列和/或下游特异性序列,对应上述的第二序列和第四序列)和与其部分序列互补的寡核苷酸链(优选与特异性序列的5’端序列互补的序列,例如DNA链,对应上述的第一序列和第三序列)形成5’端部分互补的发卡结构,可以阻止引物在RT过程中和模板非特异性结合以及引物之间的结合,其中,引物的3’突出3个碱基以上的末端可以防止被逆转录酶非特异性加上碱基或者可以被具有3’-5’核酸外切酶活性的DNA聚合酶切割成平末端,且引物的5’端链包含一个或多个被可以被特异性切割剂切割的切割位点,从而在RT-PCR的RT过程中引物的5’端链的切割位点被特异性切割剂切割,但在RT过程中维持部分互补或完全互补的双链状态;在后续的PCR的高温过程(例如热变性)中,被切割的5’端链游离,释放出3’端链作为目标区域扩增的引物。
采用本发明的RT-PCR引物可以实现一步法扩增,并且可以有效避免RT过程中多对引物在逆转录酶
体系的作用下形成二聚体,以及多对引物在逆转录酶体系的作用下和模板非特异性结合,产生非特异性产物,大幅度提高PCR扩增的效率以及检测的灵敏度和特异性。
