Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a method for constructing a library for simultaneously detecting multiple gene mutation types in brain tumors, and the compositions and applications thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Gliomas are the most common primary malignant intracranial tumors, exhibiting high heterogeneity and a poor prognosis. With the development of brain tumor genomics in recent years, molecular pathological testing using gene markers as a prerequisite and foundation for glioma treatment has become a recognized trend in the medical community. Numerous clinical studies have also demonstrated that specific genes are directly related to tumor subtyping and drug efficacy. In 2016, the WHO incorporated molecular pathology into its glioma pathological diagnostic system. Molecular pathology based on tumor genetics can more accurately predict the clinical prognosis of glioma patients and provide a basis for differentiating tumors whose histological diagnosis and grading are difficult to determine.

[0003] Basic brain tumor detection methods include DNA hotspot mutations (such as IDH mutations, TERT promoter mutations, BRAF mutations, ATRX mutations, etc.), RNA fusions, MGMT methylation, 1p / 19q combined deletions, and Chr7 and chr10 copy number variations. Currently, DNA hotspot mutations can be detected using first-generation and second-generation NGS methods. RNA fusions are generally detected using FISH and NGS methods, MGMT methylation is detected using pyrosequencing, and 1p / 19q, Chr7, and chr10 copy number variations are detected using FISH. To detect all these parameters in a single sample, a large initial sample size is required, the methods are complex, and the requirements for sample quality, technical personnel, and laboratory conditions are relatively high. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new method for glioma detection to address these issues.

[0004] TNA includes DNA and RNA, and is an abbreviation for the sum of the two. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to quickly, easily and / or accurately detect biomarker genes of glioma or detect basic glioma markers.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention first provides a method for constructing sequencing libraries. The method may include the following steps: extracting TNA from the sample to be tested; reverse transcribing the TNA to obtain cDNA, and converting the TNA to sulfite to obtain transformed DNA; preparing primer solutions P1, P2, P3, and P4; performing PCR amplification named P1 amplification using the P1 primer solution to obtain a PCR product sub-library named P1; performing PCR amplification named P2 amplification using the P2 primer solution to obtain a PCR product sub-library named P2; performing PCR amplification named P3 amplification using the P3 primer solution to obtain a PCR product sub-library named P3; performing PCR amplification named P4 amplification using the P4 primer solution to obtain a PCR product sub-library named P4; mixing the P1, P2, P3, and P4 sub-libraries to obtain a mixed library; and purifying the mixed library to obtain the sequencing library.

[0007] In the above method, the TNA of the sample to be tested can be divided into 4 parts: 1 part of TNA is used for reverse transcription to obtain cDNA for P1 amplification, 1 part of TNA is used for sulfite conversion to obtain transformed DNA for P3 amplification, and the remaining 2 parts of TNA can be used directly for P2 and P4 amplification without processing.

[0008] In the methods described above, the PCR amplification template for P1 amplification can be the cDNA. The PCR amplification template for P3 amplification can be the sulfite-converted DNA. The PCR amplification templates for P2 and P4 amplification can be the TNA.

[0046] 1) Use a scraper to scrape the tissue from the paraffin slide and place it into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube for step 2; for FFPE rolls, place them directly into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube for step 2.

[0047] 2) Add 60 μL of dewaxing agent to the centrifuge tube, vortex vigorously for 10 seconds, and then centrifuge briefly.

[0048] 3) Incubate at 56℃ for 3 minutes, then cool to room temperature.

[0049] 4) Add 150uL of Buffer PKD, vortex to mix, and centrifuge at 11000g (10000rpm) for 1 minute.

[0050] 5) Add 10 μL of proteinase K to the bottom colorless solution and mix slowly by pipetting.

[0051] 6) Incubate at 56℃ for 15 minutes, then at 80℃ for 15 minutes.

[0052] 7) Transfer the colorless liquid at the bottom to a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube.

[0053] 8) Incubate on ice for 3 minutes, then centrifuge at 20000g (13500rpm) for 15 minutes.

[0054] 9) Transfer the supernatant to a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, being careful not to aspirate the precipitate.

[0055] 10) Add 320 μL of Buffer RBC, vortex to mix, and then detach.

[0056] 11) Add 720 μL of anhydrous ethanol, mix well by pipetting with a pipette tip, do not centrifuge, and proceed to the next step immediately.

[0057] 12) Transfer 700 μL of sample to an RNA adsorption column (RNeasy MinElute spin column) (place the adsorption column in a 2 mL collection tube), gently cap the column, centrifuge at ≥8000g (≥10000rpm) for 15 seconds, and discard the waste liquid in the collection tube. Repeat step 12 until all the mixture has passed through the adsorption column.

[0058] 13) Add 500 μL of Buffer RPE to the adsorption column, gently cover it, centrifuge at ≥8000g for 15 seconds, and discard the waste liquid in the collection tube.

[0059] 14) Add 500 μL of Buffer RPE to the adsorption column, gently cover it, centrifuge at ≥8000g for 2 minutes, and discard the collection tube.

[0060] 15) Place the adsorption column into a new 2mL collection tube, open the cap and centrifuge at maximum speed for 5 minutes to dry the inner membrane of the adsorption column.

[0061] 16) Place the adsorption column into a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 30 μL of RNase-free water dropwise onto the inner membrane of the adsorption column, gently cap the tube, incubate at room temperature for 1 min, centrifuge at maximum speed for 1 min, and elute TNA. The TNA was then quantified using Qubit. The extraction concentrations of the six paraffin samples are shown in Table 1.

[0062] Table 1. Sample Extraction Concentration

[0063]

[0064] 1.2. Design and synthesize primers:

[0065] Specific detection items: DNA hotspot mutations, RNA fusions, MGMT methylation, 1p / 19q combined deletions, and Chr7 and chr10 copy number variations.

[0066] The specific detection items correspond to the following target genes: DNA hotspot mutation genes IDH1 / 2, TERT, BRAF, H3F3A, HIST1H3B, HIST1H3C; RNA fusion KIAA1549-BRAF; MGMT methylation; 1p / 19q combined deletion; and Chr7 and chr10 copy number variations (Table 2).

[0067] Primers are designed based on the target gene:

[0068] Upstream primer: First adapter sequence + specific upstream primer sequence;

[0069] Downstream primer: Second adapter sequence + specific downstream primer sequence;

[0070] Upstream universal primer: third adapter sequence + barcode sequence + first adapter sequence;

[0072] The first adapter sequence in the primer is used for ligation between the upstream universal primer and the upstream primer. The second adapter sequence in the primer is used for ligation between the downstream universal primer and the downstream primer. The third adapter sequence in the primer is the sequencing start sequence.

[0073] The primer combinations used to construct TNA sample amplicon libraries, based on the target genes (common glioma mutant genes) (Table 2), include the following information on specific upstream and downstream primer sequences:

[0074] Table 2 provides the target-specific upstream primer sequences (Special Primer Start, G13f1-G13f14 in Table 2) and the target-specific downstream primer sequences (Special Primer End, G13r1-G13r14 in Table 2). It also provides the sequences of universal upstream and downstream primers: Guf represents optional universal upstream primers (Guf1-Guf6 in Table 2), which are used to add unique tags and sequencing platform adapters to the library for sequencing primer ligation. Gur represents universal downstream primers (Gur, common adapters in Table 2), which are used to add sequencing platform adapters for emulsion PCR during sequencing.

[0078] 1.3 Sample Preprocessing

[0079] Detection of RNA fusion and MGMT methylation requires first performing reverse transcription and sulfite conversion on the TNA samples extracted in step 1.1. Reverse transcription is performed using the SuperScript kit. TM VILO TM cDNA Synthesis Kit (Invitrogen 11754250), sulfite conversion kit using EZ DNA Methylation-Lightning TM Kit (Zymo, D5031) was used. Following the kit instructions, 20 ng TNA was reverse transcribed and sulfite-converted for each sample, resulting in cDNA and transformed DNA for 6 FFPE samples.

[0080] 1.4 PCR reaction system

[0081] The specific PCR reaction systems are shown in Tables 3-6 below:

[0091] Each PCR reaction system in Table 3-6 is used to construct an amplicon library for a TNA sample. Four sets of PCR product libraries were obtained by PCR amplification using primer mixtures P1, P2, P3, and P4: P1 was used to detect DNA mutations and RNA fusions; P2 was used to detect TERT mutations; P3 was used to detect MGMT methylation; and P4 was used to detect changes in 1p19q and Chr7 / chr10 copy numbers.

[0092] The starting template in the P1 PCR system is the cDNA obtained after pretreatment in step 1.3; the starting template in the P3 PCR system is the sulfite-converted DNA obtained after pretreatment in step 1.3. The starting templates in the P2 and P4 PCR systems are the TNA samples extracted in step 1.1, which do not require pretreatment.

[0093] Preparation of P1 primer solution: Dissolve the dry powder of G13f1-G13f11 (sequences 1-11 in the sequence listing) to 100 μM, and then mix them in equal volumes to prepare G13f; dissolve the dry powder of G13r1-G13r11 (sequences 15-25 in the sequence listing) to 100 μM, and then mix them in equal volumes to prepare G13r; mix G13f:G13r:TE buffer in a volume ratio of 1:2:3 to prepare P1.

[0094] Preparation of P2 primer solution: Dissolve the dry powder of G13f12 (sequence 12 in the sequence listing) and G13r12 (sequence 26 in the sequence listing) to 100 μM, and then mix them together at a volume ratio of G13f12:G13r12:TE buffer = 1:2:57 to prepare P2.

[0095] Preparation of P3 primer solution: Dissolve the dry powder of G13f13 (sequence 13 in the sequence listing) and G13r13 (sequence 27 in the sequence listing) to 100 μM, and then mix them together at a volume ratio of G13f13:G13r13:TE buffer = 1:2:57 to prepare P3.

[0096] Preparation of P4 primer solution: Dissolve the dry powders of G13f14 (sequence 14 in the sequence listing) and G13r14 (sequence 28 in the sequence listing) to 100 μM, and then mix them together in a volume ratio of G13f14:G13r14:TE = 1:2:57 to prepare P4.

[0097] TE buffer (Invitrogen) TM 12090015) is a purchased pre-made reagent that can be used directly.

[0098] 1.5 PCR amplification

[0099] PCR amplification was performed using the four primer solutions P1, P2, P3, and P4 prepared in step 1.4, resulting in four PCR product sub-libraries: P1, P2, P3, and P4 (collectively referred to as Pools). The PCR instrument used was an Applied bio-systems 2720 Thermal Cycler, and the PCR reaction program was as follows:

[0100] Table 7. PCR reaction procedure

[0101]

[0102] 1.6 Purification of PCR Products

[0103] After the PCR reaction, the four PCR product sub-library mixtures obtained in step 1.5 were purified using the Beckman Coulter Agencourt AMGure XP Kit (catalog number A63880). The procedure is as follows:

[0104] The PCR products were diluted according to Table 8 below to obtain 4 sets of sub-library dilutions. The 4 sets of sub-library dilutions were mixed and the resulting libraries were used for purification. The purification steps were performed in accordance with the instructions.

[0105] Table 8. PCR product dilution

[0106]

[0107] After purification using the four pools, the amplicon library was constructed. Figure 1 This is a distribution graph of amplified products obtained from a four-pool mixture purification assay detected by an Agilent 2200 TapeStation System. The horizontal axis represents fragment length, and the vertical axis represents signal intensity (FU). The lower peak is the 25bp marker, and the upper peak is the 1500bp marker. Figure 1 The four PCR product mixtures obtained after PCR amplification, as shown, were concentrated in the 170-300 bp range after purification. Figure 1 This indicates that the experimental results are consistent with the experimental design. Figure 1 It can determine the size and concentration of the constructed library.

[0108] 2. Library sequencing and result analysis

[0109] Follow the instructions for the universal sequencing reaction kit (Beijing Genecast Technology Co., Ltd., RSN006). Complete the template preparation and sequencing process. Use a GENETRON S5 gene sequencer (catalog number: 4000901, hereinafter referred to as the sequencer) manufactured by Chongqing Genecast Biotechnology Co., Ltd. to sequence the PCR amplicon library prepared in step 1.

[0110] After sequencing is completed using the sequencers described above, the sequencers will use their built-in software BaseCaller (Genetron S5: v5.8.10, DA8600: v5.4.11) to identify bases and perform base information statistics. They will also use their built-in TMAP (Genetron S5: v5.8.10, DA8600: v5.4.11) software to align the sequencing results with the human reference genome sequence hg19 (GRCh37). The final output data includes the aligned Bam file and statistical information of all samples in the chip.

[0111] The ghall plugin (built into the GENETRON S5 gene sequencer), developed by Genentech, automatically performs bioinformatics analysis, quality control assessment, variant result interpretation, and annotation on sequencing data.

[0112] After sequencing and data analysis, the actual sample testing results collected in step 1 are as follows: For the 6 paraffin-embedded brain tumor samples, the specific results are shown in Table 9. No tumor-related mutations were detected in the 2 negative samples (S5 and S6 in Table 9). For the 4 paraffin-embedded brain cancer patients (S1-S4 in Table 9), S1 detected a DNA hotspot mutation (TERT mutation) and MGMT methylation. S2 detected a DNA hotspot mutation (IDH1 / TERT mutation), MGMT methylation, and 1p19q combined deletion. S3 detected a DNA hotspot mutation (TERT mutation), chr7 amplification, and chr10 deletion. S4 detected an RNA fusion mutation (KIAA1549e13_BRAFe9 RNA fusion).

[0113] The test results show that the mutation results detected using the amplicon DNA library construction method established in step 1 of this invention fully demonstrate the practical applicability of this invention.
