Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological detection technology, specifically relating to a nucleic acid detection module and method based on CRISPR and photocontrolled electrochemistry. Background Technology
[0002] Against the backdrop of the rapid development of digital healthcare technology, clinical diagnosis is placing higher demands on rapid and high-precision nucleic acid detection methods. Currently, molecular detection technologies are receiving widespread attention due to their ease of operation, rapid response, and cost advantages. However, existing mainstream detection methods (such as mass spectrometry, surface-enhanced Raman sensors, transistor sensors, and immunochromatographic sensors) generally suffer from problems such as single signal modulation mechanisms, complex operation processes, and fixed discrimination logic. When processing complex, untreated clinical samples, they often face challenges such as decreased sensitivity, insufficient accuracy, and complex signal interpretation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to construct a sensing system with multi-signal collaborative control capabilities to improve the efficiency and reliability of nucleic acid target identification in clinical samples.
[0003] Machine learning, as a data-driven intelligent decision-making tool, has demonstrated significant potential in various fields such as materials design, artificial intelligence, and clinical analysis. In sensor detection scenarios, by rationally selecting algorithm models and parameter configurations, efficient classification and accurate judgment of input signals can be achieved. Furthermore, by combining this with visualization analysis methods, systematic comparison and feature extraction of multidimensional signal responses can be performed, thus providing more accurate and robust technical support for the CRISPR / Cas12a system in nucleic acid detection of clinical samples. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the problems of existing molecular detection methods such as "single signal control method, complex sample addition process and insufficient sensitivity", this invention provides a nucleic acid detection module and method based on CRISPR and photoelectrochemistry.

[0012] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a nucleic acid detection module based on CRISPR and photocontrolled electrochemistry, the specific steps of which are as follows:
[0013] Step 1: Fabricate a metal electrode on an insulating substrate, wherein the electrode includes a working electrode, a reference electrode, and a counter electrode;
[0014] Step 2: Transfer the two-dimensional sensitive material to an insulating substrate and fix it to the surface of the circular region of the working electrode. Use reactive ion etching technology to etch the two-dimensional sensitive material into a specific shape to obtain the device to be modified.
[0015] Step 3: Install polydimethylsiloxane sample slots on the two-dimensional sensitive material of the device to be modified, modify the linker molecules, and modify the linker molecules with single-chain biological probes with redox groups.
[0016] Step 4: Add a complex system consisting of CRISPR / Cas12a biological probes, CRISPR / Cas12a protein, and target material to the sample well to obtain a functionalized nucleic acid detection module. The crRNA recognition sequence of the CRISPR / Cas12a biological probes is introduced with a complementary sequence of a PC-Linker molecule modified with UV degradation properties.
[0017] Furthermore:
[0018] In step 2, the insulating substrate is a polyimide film, a SiO2 / Si substrate with a resistivity greater than 1 ohm·cm (preferably 5-10 ohm·cm), and a polyethylene terephthalate film.

[0030] The present invention provides a method for nucleic acid detection based on CRISPR and photocontrolled electrochemistry, comprising the following steps:
[0031] (S1) Connect the nucleic acid detection module to the electrochemical testing system, wherein the working electrode of the nucleic acid detection module is connected to the green alligator clip of the electrochemical testing system, the reference electrode of the nucleic acid detection module is connected to the white alligator clip of the electrochemical testing system, the reference electrode of the nucleic acid detection module is connected to the counter electrode of the electrochemical testing system, and the counter electrode is connected to the red alligator clip.
[0032] (S2) The sample to be tested is added to the sample cell. The UV light is turned on or off by controlling the UV light box. When there is no UV light, the CRISPR / Cas12a bioprobe is locked and cannot detect the target nucleic acid biomarker, and the control electrical response signal I1 is obtained. When UV light is applied, the PC-Linker molecule contained in the crRNA recognition sequence of the CRISPR / Cas12a bioprobe is rapidly degraded, releasing the cleavage activity of the CRISPR / Cas12a bioprobe, completing the detection of the target nucleic acid biomarker, and obtaining the electrical response signal I2.
[0033] (S3) The acquired electrical sensing unit signal responses I1 and I2 are processed to obtain normalized electrical sensing unit signal response characteristic values.
[0034] (S4) Train the machine learning model, use a portion of the normalized signal response data points of the electric sensing unit as the training set, and use the remaining data points as the test set to determine the classification threshold.
[0035] (S5) Evaluate the accuracy of the machine learning model and detect the sample to be tested after the model has sufficient accuracy.
[0036] Furthermore:
[0037] In step (S1), the electrical testing system is a CHI7600 electrochemical workstation;
[0038] In step (S2), the ultraviolet irradiation time is 10 to 30 seconds;
[0039] In step (S2), the concentration of the CRISPR protein is 70 nanomolars (10 -9 mol / L);
[0040] In step (S3), the normalized electrical sensing unit signal response characteristic value is calculated by comparing the deviation of the test value from the initial value with the initial value;
[0041] In step (S4), the machine learning model being trained is either a support vector machine algorithm or a decision tree model.
[0042] This invention introduces a complementary sequence of a PC-Linker molecule uniformly modified with UV-degradable properties into a CRISPR / Cas12a and crRNA complex system. Under UV light-free conditions, the locked PC-Linker molecule blocks the recognition of target DNA by Cas12 / crRNA and inhibits the cleavage activity of CRISPR / Cas12a. Under UV light, the PC-Linker molecule rapidly degrades and breaks down, detaching from the crRNA recognition sequence, allowing Cas12 / crRNA to recognize and recombine with the target DNA, thereby releasing the cleavage activity of CRISPR / Cas12a. Addressing the issues of random perturbations and low accuracy caused by non-specific substances in complex biological fluids faced by CRISPR-based electrochemical sensors, this invention effectively controls the cleavage activity of CRISPR / Cas12a through photo-controlled electrochemistry, achieving a detection accuracy of over 98% for nucleic acid markers (including markers for liver cancer, human papillomavirus, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), enabling disease diagnosis and possessing potential socio-economic value.
[0043] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0044] This invention innovatively establishes a multi-dimensional signal control strategy by integrating a front-end electrochemical nucleic acid sensing device with a back-end machine learning model. Through optimization of the classification algorithm, it overcomes the low clinical detection accuracy problem caused by the single control signal in existing molecular detection methods, providing a new direction for the practical application of molecular detection in complex clinical samples. The machine learning-based auxiliary algorithm constructs classification thresholds for different nucleic acids, providing a reliable tool for rapid screening of infectious diseases with a detection accuracy greater than 98%, demonstrating significant clinical translational value.
