[0056] Example 3: Detection of extension products of DNA-AuNPs complex by nanopore sensor

[0057] According to the method of Example 2, through the regulation of SDS denaturant, prepare the telomerase extension telomeric DNA sequence at different times to produce DNA-golden sphere complexes with different chain lengths, and use the resulting product using a 20nm silicon nitride nanopore The sensor uses a bias voltage of 600mV to detect DNA-AuNps at different time gradients. After the telomeres on the surface of the AuNps are extended by telomerase, the surface of the DNA-AuNps will be induced. The charge carried and the hydrated particle size change. These changes in properties can be detected by the change of the highly sensitive nanopore ion current signal and the generated current blocking signal to distinguish products under different time gradients. Enzyme activity and monitoring of the kinetic process of telomeric sequence extension on the surface of gold spheres.

Abstract

The invention discloses a detection probe, a kit and a direct detection method for telomerase activity. The detection probe comprises gold nanoparticles and a probe sequence connected with the gold nanoparticles, wherein the probe sequence comprises a connecting section and a primer section for telomerase recognition; the sequence length of the connecting segment is 5-8 nt; the length of the primer section is 15 to 20 nt. The probe sequence marked on the surfaces of the gold nanoparticles is extended by telomerase; after telomeres extend, the gold nanospheres with the surfaces covered with DNA products of different lengths are recognized through the solid nanopores, and real-time high-sensitivity monitoring of the solid nanopores on the telomerase activity is achieved. According to the invention, telomere DNA chains are fixed on the surfaces of the gold nanospheres, enzyme capture is facilitated, and the activity reaction of telomerase is improved; meanwhile, the DNA-gold nanosphere composite structure plays a signal amplification function in nanopore detection, and the telomerase activity can be directly monitored in real time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the detection field of solid-state nanopore sensors, in particular to a detection probe, a kit and a direct detection method for telomerase activity. Background technique [0002] A telomere is a DNA sequence with a repeating sequence (TTAGGG) that usually exists at the end of a cell's chromosomes. During cell division, the duplication of chromosomes leads to the continuous shortening of telomeres. As a reverse transcriptase widely present in the body, telomerase plays a key role in maintaining telomere length and in the process of cell growth and differentiation. Telomerase achieves the purpose of maintaining telomere length and cell activity by continuously replicating the TTAGGG repeat sequence at the 3' end of the telomere. In 2009, ELIZABETN and others won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of telomerase and the protective mechanism of telomeres on cell activity. Since then, many studies have shown that exc...
