Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for detecting alkaline phosphatase activity based on CRISPR / Cas12a and DNAzyme. Background Art

[0002] Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a phosphomonoester hydrolase that specifically acts on a variety of substrates such as proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules, and regulates dephosphorylation reactions in the human intestine, bones, liver and kidneys. Abnormal alkaline phosphatase activity affects the cell regulation process in the body. Studies have shown that abnormal alkaline phosphatase levels are closely related to a variety of diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes, and liver dysfunction. Therefore, the development of an efficient and sensitive alkaline phosphatase activity analysis method is of great significance for clinical disease diagnosis and biomedical research. In recent years, various analytical methods have been used for alkaline phosphatase activity detection, such as colorimetry, fluorescence, electrochemistry, photoelectrochemistry, etc. Among them, the fluorescence method has received widespread attention due to its advantages such as high sensitivity, fast response, and convenient design.

[0003] Deoxyribozyme (DNAzyme) is a nucleic acid obtained through in vitro screening, with specific metal ions as coenzyme factors and catalytic cleavage activity on certain substrates. Compared with proteases, it has the advantages of good stability, low cost, and easy synthesis. It is widely used in heavy metal detection, enzyme activity analysis, antibiotic residue detection, etc. Metal ion-dependent DNAzyme catalyzes the cleavage of substrate chains, and the free enzyme chain and metal ions continue to cut the next substrate chain, triggering the next cycle. After multiple cycles of cleavage, a large number of broken substrate chains are generated, realizing signal cyclic amplification. Single amplification may no longer be able to meet clinical detection needs. Consider adding a new amplification technology to achieve dual signal amplification and further improve the sensitivity of detection.

[0004] The CRISPR / Cas12a system consists of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas proteins), which have cis- and trans-cutting activity. The target DNA specifically hybridizes with CRISPR RNA (crRNA), allosterically activates the Cas12a protein, and cis-cuts the target DNA. Fluorescence and quenching groups are respectively labeled at both ends of non-specific single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) as a signal giving method. After cutting the target DNA, the protein activity remains, and the non-target ssDNA near the Rucvc domain is cut in trans, with high cutting efficiency and fast speed. The CRISPR / Cas12a system is used to construct a biosensor to achieve signal amplification and significantly improve the sensitivity of the biosensor.

[0005] In the prior art, a kit is often used to detect the activity of alkaline phosphatase. For example, patent application CN111721756A discloses a kit for detecting the activity of alkaline phosphatase and a rapid detection method, which includes a colorimetric reagent and a standard colorimetric card. During the detection process, the colorimetric result is mainly compared with the standard colorimetric card to quickly determine the concentration and activity range of ALP in the sample and whether it has infiltrated into raw milk, thereby determining the degree of inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms or the infiltration and contamination of raw milk during processing; however, this method can only detect an approximate concentration range of ALP and cannot accurately measure its activity.

[0006] Similarly, Chinese patent application CN106866727A discloses the use of a 2-phosphate benzyl formate compound as a fluorescent probe in the detection of alkaline phosphatase. This compound specifically recognizes alkaline phosphatase and does not react with other phosphatases. However, this compound is prone to false positive problems when used as a fluorescent probe, thereby reducing the detection sensitivity. Summary of the invention

The specific operation is as follows:

[0049] The alkaline phosphatase standard solution was mixed with 0.2 mM PPi, 50 nM Cu 2+ Mix well and incubate at 37°C for 30 min to hydrolyze PPi so that PPi cannot react with Cu 2+ Then, 20 nM enzyme chain and 10 nM substrate chain were incubated at 37°C for 30 min to form Cu 2+ Specific DNAzyme.

The above solution was incubated with 240 nM single-stranded DNA reporter probe for 30 min to activate the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a protein by the complete substrate chain, and the DNA reporter probe was broken. Finally, the fluorescence intensity of the product after trans-cleavage of Cas12a protein was measured using a fluorescence spectrophotometer.

[0054] Results: Taking the maximum fluorescence intensity as 1, other fluorescence intensities were normalized and calculated, such as Figure 4 When 10U / L alkaline phosphatase was added, the measured fluorescence intensity was low. After adding other interfering substances, the fluorescence intensity of the system was equivalent to that of the group without alkaline phosphatase (Blank), indicating that this method has good specificity for the detection of alkaline phosphatase.
