Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nucleic acid detection, and specifically relates to a primer, crRNA, a kit and a method for detecting respiratory viruses. Background Art

[0002] Respiratory tract infection (RTI) is one of the main causes of acute and fatal diseases in humans. It can occur in any gender, age and region, and the disease burden caused is higher than that caused by other causes. The latest data released by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that lower respiratory tract infection ranks fourth among the major causes of death in the world. In 2019, 2.6 million people died from respiratory tract infection, a decrease of 460,000 compared to 2000. Although the number of deaths has dropped significantly in the past decade, the harm is still serious.

[0003] Viral infection is a very important cause of RTI. About 80% of RTI are caused by viruses. In developed countries, acute viral respiratory infection is the leading cause of hospitalization for infants and children. In developing countries, acute viral respiratory infection is the main cause of death. Respiratory viruses refer to a type of virus that can invade the respiratory tract and cause local lesions in the respiratory tract or only use the respiratory tract as an invasion portal, mainly causing lesions in respiratory tissues and organs. Typical respiratory viruses include influenza A virus (FLUAV), influenza B virus (FLUBV), human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63), human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), human coronavirus HKU1 (HCoV-HKU1), respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV), new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), human parainfluenza virus serotype 3 (HPIV-3) and human metapneumovirus (HMPV).

[0004] Respiratory viruses are mostly transmitted in the form of aerosols and air droplets, which are highly contagious. Patients mainly show symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection such as fever, cough and runny nose, and the condition is mild and can heal itself. But at the same time, there are also some diseases caused by respiratory viruses, which are highly contagious and lethal. Patients show lower respiratory tract infection and induce diseases such as bronchiolitis, pneumonia and asthma, and even lead to systemic multiple organ failure. Since the clinical manifestations and biochemical indicators of patients after infection are very similar, differential diagnosis is very difficult. In addition, about 5% to 10% of patients have mixed infections of multiple respiratory viruses, which makes etiological diagnosis difficult. Therefore, early rapid and accurate identification of infectious viruses, especially those that are highly contagious and prone to cause severe RTI, and rapid screening of a large number of pathogens through multiple pathogen detection can provide the best intervention opportunity for clinical treatment, reduce the abuse of antibiotics, and inhibit the spread of viruses through corresponding preventive measures, providing strong support for disease treatment, epidemiological investigation and epidemic control.

[0005] In recent years, nucleic acid-based human respiratory virus detection methods have continued to emerge and develop, and the outbreak of the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has further promoted the emergence of some new technologies. Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is a nucleic acid isothermal amplification technology that has emerged in recent years. It only takes about 37°C and 15 minutes to amplify nucleic acids at a single molecule concentration level to a concentration level that can be detected by existing methods. Moreover, this technology has very low requirements for hardware equipment, so it plays an important role in the detection of pathogenic bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. However, although the amplification method of RPA is relatively simple, since RPA is an emerging technology, unlike PCR, there is no corresponding software to assist in the design of primers, so its primer design often has the risk of failure. However, there are some generally recognized experiences in RPA primer design: the primer length is generally 30-35nt; the 3-5 nucleotides at the 5' end should avoid polyguanine, and the 3 nucleotides at the 3' end, if they are guanine and cytosine, will help stabilize the binding of the polymerase and improve the amplification performance of the primer; it is best not to have long strings of polypurine or polypyrimidine in the primer, and GC content that is too high (>70%) or too low (<30%) is not conducive to RPA amplification; in addition, when designing primers, the formation of secondary structures, primer-primer interactions, and hairpin structure sequences should be avoided as much as possible to minimize the formation of primer dimers. However, even with the guidance of the above primer design rules, effective primers mainly rely on large-scale synthesis and screening, especially when detecting multi-target nucleic acids, more tests are needed to ensure that each target can be successfully amplified. The company that invented the RPA technology has made great progress in their products ( DNA amplification kit) analysis design manual states: "Oligonucleotides of different sequences are There are different performances in the reaction, but there is no fixed rule to predict the performance of a specific amplification primer based on the order and composition of the nucleotides. "Even small changes in the oligonucleotide sequence can sometimes lead to significant changes in primer activity." It can be seen that many attempts must be made to obtain RPA primers with good amplification effects.

[0006] In order to achieve RPA multi-target (>4) amplification and detection, many difficulties need to be overcome. In addition to the above primer design and target region selection, the total amount of primers in the RPA reaction should also be paid attention to when performing multi-target amplification; as long as more than two pairs of amplification primers are used in the reaction, the amount of different primers should be controlled and optimized, otherwise primer dimers are likely to appear, leading to amplification failure.

[0007] Recent studies have shown that Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) technology can be used for low-cost, portable molecular detection of pathogens. CRISPR and CRISPRassociated genes (Cas) genes are the immune systems of bacteria to resist exogenous viral infections. The modular nature of CRISPR makes this technology widely used in genome engineering. CRISPR-based molecular diagnosis of pathogen nucleic acids depends on the targeting activity of Cas nuclease RNA or DNA. In addition, based on CRISPR-Cas12a pathogen detection technology, a variety of in vitro detection methods have been developed (Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2021, 187, 113292; Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2019, 20, 490), all of which show that this method has the advantages of high sensitivity, accurate detection, and easy operation; further combining it with technologies such as constant temperature amplification, it can achieve as low as 10 for target nucleic acids in non-laboratory environments. -18 M level detection. However, these studies mainly target one virus or bacteria. Faced with complex and changeable real-world needs, multi-target nucleic acid detection is of greater significance. For multi-target detection, especially subtypes with similar target sequences, special attention should be paid when designing crRNA to avoid cross-recognition of another subtype by crRNA designed for one subtype, resulting in erroneous detection. Therefore, the design of crRNA for respiratory viruses must not only meet some requirements for identifying the corresponding viruses, but also ensure its high specificity and avoid misidentifying other viruses. Certain difficulties need to be overcome to achieve the expected goals. Summary of the invention

[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0042] The present invention provides a kit and a detection method, which can achieve complete and interactive specific detection of influenza A virus, influenza B virus, human coronavirus NL63, human coronavirus OC43, human coronavirus HKU1, respiratory syncytial virus, novel coronavirus, human parainfluenza virus serotype 3 and human metapneumovirus while ensuring sensitivity. The method has the advantages of simple operation, small sample dosage, fast analysis speed, and no reliance on expensive instruments, and is suitable for screening and diagnosis of respiratory virus infection in various medical institutions, especially grassroots hospitals and clinics.

[0043] The present invention realizes the identification of multiple respiratory viruses and mainly involves two core parts:

[0044] 1) Design and screening of RPA primers. We compared the sequences of the respiratory virus genes to be tested, found the characteristic regions in the gene sequences of the respiratory viruses, and then designed multiple pairs of RPA primers in a targeted manner. These primers should not only effectively amplify the corresponding subtype fragments, but also prevent cross-amplification of non-target subtypes. At the same time, they should also meet the crRNA design principles of downstream CRISPR-Cas12a. We repeatedly verified and screened to find the best RPA primers.

[0045] 2) Design and verification of crRNA. It is necessary to find suitable regions in the fragment regions of multiple subtypes to be amplified to design a combination of crRNAs. Since crRNAs may cross-recognize other targets (especially when the nucleic acid sequences of respiratory viruses are highly similar, it is easy for primers or crRNAs designed for one subtype to cross-recognize another or multiple subtypes), and a PAM sequence (TTTN) is required upstream of the target recognition region, a large number of comparisons and optimization designs are required. After the design, verification is also required to ensure that it can recognize the corresponding virus while not mistakenly identifying other viruses.

[0046] In the present invention, Cas12a protein was purchased from Guangzhou Meige Biotechnology Co., Ltd., 9 respiratory virus gene plasmids, primers, and TBA11-FQ were provided by Beijing Qingke Xinye Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and crRNA was provided by Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0047] Example 1: Respiratory virus target sequence alignment

[0048] DNAMAN software was used to compare the target sequences of nine respiratory viruses to be detected, including influenza A virus, influenza B virus, human coronavirus NL63, human coronavirus OC43, human coronavirus HKU1, respiratory syncytial virus, new coronavirus, human parainfluenza virus serotype 3, and human metapneumovirus. The comparison results showed that the similarity between the target sequences of the nine viruses was not high, and each target had a sufficiently specific region for us to design RPA primers and crRNA.

[0049] Example 2: RPA primer design and optimization

[0050] In this example, the target gene sequences of 9 respiratory viruses were compared and the corresponding regions were found. Based on this, 43 pairs of RPA primers were designed (as shown in Table 1). According to the instructions of the RPA kit (TwsitDx basic version), the target genes of 9 respiratory viruses were amplified (heated at 39°C for 20 minutes), and then the amplified products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The results are shown in Figure 1 It can be seen that some primers can amplify a clear single band, while some primers cannot amplify a band or amplify two bands.

[0051] According to the PAGE analysis results, the primers corresponding to the singlest, clearest and thickest target bands were selected (as shown in Table 2), and these primers were used to amplify the corresponding targets. Then, the amplified products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The results are shown in Figure 2 The results showed that the amplified bands of each respiratory virus were clear and single. Therefore, this RPA primer combination was used as the RPA primer for efficiently and specifically amplifying the corresponding targets of 9 respiratory viruses.

[0058]

[0059] Example 3: crRNA design and optimization of 9 respiratory viruses

[0060] This example uses CRISPR technology to detect the target nucleic acid RPA amplification product. Specifically, the CRISPR-Cas12a system can activate its trans-cleavage activity after crRNA is paired with the target, and the reporter molecule double-labeled with fluorescent and quenching groups is cleaved, thereby releasing strong fluorescence for detection.

[0061] Since the present invention is aimed at the detection of multiple respiratory viruses, multiple candidate sequences that meet the basic principles of crRNA design (i.e., containing the PAM sequence "TTTN" on the target chain) are found for each target amplification region; then check whether the 20 nucleotides after the PAM sequence do not contain "AAA". Based on this, we designed 48 crRNA sequences as shown in Table 3, and then used mFold to predict the secondary structures of these 48 crRNAs. The results are as follows Figure 3-Figure 11 shown.

[0062] Table 3 Respiratory virus crRNA candidate sequences

[0063]

[0064]

[0065]

[0066] Based on the secondary structure prediction results of 48 crRNAs, 9 crRNAs were selected in which the repeat region successfully formed a hairpin loop and the spacer region did not form a secondary structure as much as possible or only formed an unstable secondary structure (as shown in Table 4).

[0067] Table 4 9 kinds of crRNA screened

[0068]

[0069] After determining the crRNA corresponding to each virus, its recognition effect was verified through a 9×9 orthogonal experiment. In a 96-well plate, 1 μL of Cas12a protein (2 μM) and 27 μL of buffer (10 mM Tris, pH 7.9, 70 mM KCl, 10 mM MgCl2) were mixed with 2 μL of FLUBV PB1, HCoV-NL63 Orf1ab, HCoV-OC43 Orf1ab, HRSV M, HCoV-HKU1 Orf1ab, SARS-CoV-2 Orf1ab, HPIV-3M and HMPV F crRNA (1 μM) (three replicate wells were configured for each subtype), and incubated at 37 ° C for 10 min; then 10 μL of FLUBV PB1, HCoV-NL63 Orf1ab, HCoV-OC43 Orf1ab, HRSV M, HCoV-HKU1 Orf1ab, SARS-CoV-2 Orf1ab, HPIV-3M and HMPV F were added to the above system accordingly. F (synthetic plasmid, 40 ng / μL) and 10 μL TBA11-FQ (100 μM) were incubated at 37 ° C for 15 minutes; then heated at 65 ° C for 10 minutes to inactivate the Cas12a protein; finally, the fluorescence value was measured with a microplate reader (488 nm excitation, 500-600 nm collection), and the fluorescence at 518 nm was taken out (the average of 3 replicate wells for each subtype) for plotting.

[0070] Fig.12 The cross-test results of the first crRNA (left figure, crRNA-1) and the fifth crRNA (left figure, crRNA-5) of FLUAV are shown. It can be seen from the figure that the recognition efficiency and specificity of crRNA-1 are not very good; for crRNA-5, when it coexists with the corresponding HPV subtype (i.e., at the diagonal), the fluorescence value is very strong, and when the other two are not corresponding, the fluorescence value is very low (although there are very few values ​​that are slightly higher, but it does not affect the judgment). It can be seen that the crRNA designed for 9 respiratory viruses has good specificity.

[0071] Example 4: Simultaneous amplification and crRNA recognition of 9 respiratory viruses

[0072] In this example, the mixed plasmid sample containing the above 9 respiratory viruses was amplified by RPA using the selected RPA primer combination (amplification at 39°C for 20 minutes, the total concentration of the RPA primer combination was 1.0 μM), and then the 9 selected crRNAs were identified (incubated at 37°C for 15 minutes). The results are as follows: Fig.13 shown.

[0073] Fig.13The fluorescence test results in the results show that when the corresponding target exists in the reaction system, it can be specifically recognized by the corresponding crRNA. This result once again proves that the primers we designed can accurately amplify 9 respiratory viruses, and the designed crRNA can achieve high specific recognition without obvious cross-recognition.

[0074] Example 5: Simultaneous amplification and crRNA recognition detection on a microfluidic chip

[0075] A plasmid mixture of 8 respiratory viruses, FLUBV PB1, HCoV-NL63 Orf1ab, HCoV-OC43 Orf1ab, HRSV M, HCoV-HKU1Orf1ab, SARS-CoV-2 Orf1ab, HPIV-3 M and HMPV F, was used as the sample to be tested, and 5 μL was added to the amplification system (the primers corresponding to the above 8 respiratory viruses were mixed at the same concentration so that the total primer concentration in the amplification solution was 1 μM), and Cas12a (5 μL, 2 μM) and crRNA of 8 respiratory viruses (10 μL, 1 μM) and 5 μL buffer were incubated at 37 ° C for 10 min, and TBA11-FQ reporter molecules (1 μL, 40 μM) were added to the incubated 8 solutions, and 4 μL of reaction solution was added to the outlet holes 1-24 in sequence after mixing (such as FLUBV was added to the outlet holes 1-3). PB1 solution, HCoV-NL63 Orf1ab subtype solution was added to wells 4-6); 4 μL of solution without any Cas12a / crRNA but containing equal concentration of TBA11-FQ reporter molecules was added to wells 25-27 as a negative control. Then the amplification system with the sample to be tested was injected into the microfluidic chip from the injection hole, and the chip was placed in a 37°C metal bath for incubation for 15 minutes; then the green fluorescence photos of each well were taken under a microscope and fluorescence analysis was performed. The results are as follows Fig.14 As shown. It can be seen that the primers we designed can accurately amplify 8 respiratory viruses, and the designed crRNA can achieve high specific recognition without obvious cross-recognition.
