Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a double-ring probe and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] To ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment of diseases, it is necessary to perform multiplex analysis of biomarkers in a single sample volume by various means. In particular, the mechanisms and pathways associated with disease occurrence are complex, and disease biomarkers (such as proteins / peptides, miRNAs, and DNA) may participate in the regulation of biological processes in a synergistic manner. Therefore, the simultaneous detection of different classes of biomolecules, rather than detecting only proteins or nucleic acids, can provide more comprehensive information and help to more accurately diagnose and monitor the progression of diseases. Spectroscopic methods are usually the preferred method for multi-target detection, because the combination of characterized frequency / wavelength or optical labels can be easily used to encode multiplex signal readout. Among them, microarrays are easily used for multiplex detection of proteins and nucleic acids, identifying different targets by their positions in the microarray, but the analysis time increases with the number of targets and lacks sufficient sensitivity. However, complex mechanisms and designs are essential for the combination of antibody recognition and nucleic acid hybridization. To date, except for the work on the simultaneous detection of small molecules, proteins, and microRNAs using immunoarrays, the main strategy for the simultaneous detection of nucleic acids and proteins in one test tube is to amplify the oligonucleotide sequence corresponding to the target after recognition with aptamers. In the example of combined DNA and protein detection using fiber optic arrays, the immunoassay is converted into a rolling circle amplification (RCA) assay by combining antibodies and padlock DNA for ligation to facilitate RCA. However, even with the conversion to detect the released DNA sequence, most methods can only detect one protein and one nucleic acid target in a multiplexed assay, which provides limited information about the test sample. In addition to the need for multiple optical probes, one of the possible reasons is the difficulty in designing the released DNA sequence to avoid crosstalk.
[0003] Quantum dots (QDs) have attracted extensive attention from researchers in the field of optical imaging due to their unique physicochemical properties. Their tunable size allows QDs to emit visible fluorescence at different wavelengths under excitation from a single light source, and they play an unparalleled role in multi-target, simultaneous, multi-color imaging of tissues and cells compared to other molecular biotechniques and traditional fluorescent materials. This technology provides real-time observation of multiple biomarkers, allowing us to quantify their expression levels and helping us gain a deeper understanding of the interactions between biomolecules and the relationship between biomolecules and disease occurrence, progression, and prognosis.
[0004] Based on the above research background, there is still an urgent need to develop a platform and method that can simultaneously detect proteins and nucleic acids with low cost and uncomplicated instrument settings. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a double-ring probe that can identify specific targets and achieve signal amplification with the assistance of DNA polymerase / nuclease.
[0006] This application is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0007] The present application provides a double-ring probe, comprising a recognition module, a signal module and a template chain recognition module; one of the rings is the signal module, the other ring is the template chain recognition module, and the two rings are connected together by a signal module neck, and the neck is composed of reverse complementary paired base pairs; the recognition module is formed by hybridization of two chains, one of which is a target aptamer and the other is a complementary chain to the target; the template chain recognition module provides more than two nuclease recognition sites for the template chain to start a subsequent signal cycle; the signal module sequence is complementary to the template chain recognition module chain, and the template chain recognition module sequence is complementary to the recognition module sequence; the signal module is a stem-loop structure to reduce interference signals generated by non-specific hybridization.
[0008] The double-ring probe described in the present application has high stability, and there is no significant difference in the fluorescence signal intensity in various buffer solutions such as PBS, DMEM, DEPC and TM. Therefore, the double-ring probe of the present application can be used in various complex experimental environments.
[0009] When the double-loop probe of the present application is used to detect biomarkers, the recognition module of the double-loop probe can specifically recognize the target and expose the template recognition site to trigger subsequent signal amplification. Finally, a double signal cycle is constructed and a large number of transcription signal modules are generated. At this time, the signal module contains the successfully assembled H probe.
[0010] The two ends of the double-ring probe described in the present application can be labeled with a reporter fluorescent group and a quencher fluorescent group, respectively. The fluorescent group described in the present application is not specifically limited, as long as it can be ensured that the fluorescent group can distinguish the target detection object. Preferably, the 5' end of the base sequence described in the present application is labeled with a FAM fluorescent group, and the 3' end is labeled with a BHQ quencher group. Whether the assembly is successful is confirmed based on the fluorescent signal reaction.
[0011] The present application also provides an application of a double-ring probe in a biomarker detection platform.
[0012] The biomarker detection platform described in the present application includes a double-ring probe, a template chain, a molecular beacon MB probe, a 96-well plate and quantum dot fluorescence detection technology.
[0013] The molecular beacon MB probe described in the present application is modified with biotin, and preferably the biotin is at the 5' end of the molecular beacon. For example, the sequence of the biotin-modified molecular beacon MB probe is Biotin-AAT CCA CCG AAG AAC TTC TTTTTT CTT CGG TGG AAA AAA AA TGA GTG.
[0014] The two ends of the molecular beacon MB probe described in the present application can be labeled with a reporter fluorescent group and a quencher fluorescent group, respectively. The fluorescent group described in the present application is not specifically limited, as long as it can be ensured that the fluorescent group can distinguish the target detection object. Preferably, the 5' end of the base sequence described in the present application is labeled with a FAM fluorescent molecular signal group, and the 3' end is labeled with a BHQ quencher group. Confirm whether the molecular beacon MB probe is successfully assembled with the 96-well plate based on the fluorescent signal reaction.
[0015] The 96-well plate described in the present application is a 96-well plate with streptavidin fixed thereto.
[0016] The molecular beacon MB probe described in the present application can be fixed in a 96-well plate through the interaction of streptavidin. After the molecular beacon MB probe is successfully assembled with the well plate, the molecular beacon MB probe is a hairpin structure and retains the tail end of the Y structure, providing an identification site for the released H probe.
[0017] The quantum dot fluorescence detection technology described in the present application includes the step of labeling DNA with quantum dots to obtain QDs-ssDNA probes.

[0023] The bioassay platform provided by the present application, the target is hybridized with the recognition module, the double-stranded structure of the recognition module is opened, and the template chain recognition site is exposed. The template chain contains two endonuclease recognition sites. When the template chain is hybridized with the endonuclease recognition site to form a double-stranded structure, the endonuclease recognizes and cuts to produce a gap. Under the action of DNA polymerase, the sequence fragments at both ends of the gap are extended, during which the target is released to hybridize with the next double-loop probe to form a signal cycle. In addition, a large number of fragment sequences consistent with the target sequence are generated, and they are continuously hybridized with the recognition module to trigger the signal cycle. The ssDNA chain transcribed with the signal module as a template is assembled into a hairpin structure (H probe mixture). The biotin-modified molecular beacon MB probe is fixed on a 96-well plate by streptavidin interaction to form MB@plate. When the H probe mixture is added to a 96-well plate, the H probe can collide with the 3' end of MB to form a blunt end when the H probe mixture is mixed with MB@plate. Exonuclease Exo-III is added to the above 96-well plate. Exonuclease Exo-III recognizes the 3' blunt end and cuts the fragment of MB, leaving a fragment@plate complex. Then the quantum dot-labeled QDs-ssDNA probe is hybridized with the fragment@plate complex to form a QDS-SSDNA-fragment@plate complex. The fluorescence signal in the 96-well plate is analyzed by a microplate reader.

[0103] Embodiment 1:
[0104] A biomarker detection platform includes a double ring probe, a biotin-modified molecular beacon MB probe, a 96-well plate and quantum dot fluorescence detection technology. Figure 1 As shown, the double-loop probe comprises a recognition module, a signal module and a template chain recognition module. One of the loops is a signal module, and the other loop is a template chain recognition module. The two loops are connected together by the neck of the signal module, and the neck is composed of reverse complementary paired base pairs. The template chain recognition module provides two endonuclease recognition sites for the template chain to start the subsequent signal cycle; the recognition module is formed by hybridization of two chains, one of which is an adapter sequence and the other is a complementary chain to the target; the signal module sequence is complementary to the template chain recognition module sequence, and the template chain recognition module sequence is complementary to the recognition module sequence; the stem-loop structure of the signal module can reduce the interference signal generated by nonspecific hybridization.
[0105] The biotin-modified molecular beacon MB probe is fixed in a 96-well plate through the interaction of streptavidin. After the molecular beacon MB probe is successfully assembled with the well plate, the molecular beacon MB probe is a hairpin structure and retains the tail end of the Y structure, providing an identification site for the released H probe.
[0106] The quantum dot fluorescence detection technology includes the step of labeling DNA with quantum dots.
[0107] The double-ring probe and quantum dot-labeled DNA are added to a 96-well plate fixed with a molecular beacon MB probe, and the quantum dot fluorescence detection technology is used to determine the presence and content of the biomarker based on the fluorescence signal.
[0108] The working mechanism of the biomarker detection platform is as follows: Taking the target miRNA-21 as an example, Figure 1The target shown hybridizes with the "1" fragment in the recognition module, opens the double-stranded structure of the recognition module, and exposes the template chain recognition site. The template chain contains two endonuclease recognition sites ("2" fragments). When the template chain hybridizes with the endonuclease recognition site to form a double-stranded structure, the endonuclease recognizes and cuts the "2" fragment to produce a gap. Under the action of DNA polymerase, the "7" and "6" fragments are extended, during which miRNA-21 is released to hybridize with the next double-loop probe to form a signal cycle. In addition, a large number of "8" fragments consistent with the miRNA-21 sequence are generated and continuously hybridize with the recognition module to trigger the signal cycle. The ssDNA chain transcribed with the signal module as a template is assembled into a hairpin structure (H probe mixture). The H probe mixture is incubated at 70°C for 10 minutes to degrade the enzyme. The molecular beacon MB probe is fixed on a 96-well plate through streptavidin interaction to form MB@plate. When the H probe mixture is added to the 96-well plate, the H probe can collide with the 3' end of MB to form a blunt end when the H probe mixture is mixed with MB@plate. Exonuclease Exo-III was added to the above 96-well plate. Exonuclease Exo-III recognized the 3' blunt end and cut the "3" and "10" fragments of MB, leaving a "11" fragment@plate complex. Then the quantum dot-labeled QDs-ssDNA probe was hybridized with the "11" fragment@plate complex to form a QDS-SSDNA-"11"@plate complex. The fluorescence signal in the 96-well plate was analyzed by a microplate reader.

Example 4 Feasibility analysis of the biomarker detection platform of this application Experimental purpose: Taking miRNA-21 as an example, the feasibility of the constructed universal biomarker detection platform was investigated
[0131] 1. Verify the assembly of the double ring probe
[0132] 1.1 Sample preparation:
[0133] Assembly of the double-ring probe: The synthesized double-ring probe was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 min, and 12.5 μL of DEPC water was added to dilute the double-ring probe to 20 μM. Then 10 μL of the double-ring probe was heated to 90°C, incubated for 20 min, and then slowly cooled to room temperature.
[0134] Double-ring probe assembly verification: The fluorescently labeled double-ring probe was assembled as described above. The fluorescent signal of the double-ring probe before and after assembly was detected.
[0135] 1.2 Experimental method: Both ends of the bicyclic probe were labeled with SYBR Green I fluorescent dye, the 5' end was labeled with FAM fluorophore, and the 3' end was labeled with BHQ quencher group. Considering that the assembly of the bicyclic probe mainly depends on the two-segment double-stranded structure of the recognition module, SYBR Green I dye was used to characterize the "stem" part of the bicyclic probe. The fluorescence signal intensity in the sample was detected at a wavelength of 500-540nm using a fluorescence spectrophotometer to evaluate the fluorescence changes of the denatured bicyclic probe to examine whether the recognition module of the bicyclic probe was successfully assembled.
[0136] 1.3 Experimental results: The fluorescent moieties FAM and BHQ were labeled at both ends of the linear double-ring probe, such as Figure 2 As shown in A, after the double-ring probe was assembled, the FAM fluorescence signal was significantly reduced, indicating that the recognition module of the double-ring probe was successfully assembled.
[0137] 2. Screening experiment of incubation time for double-ring probe assembly
[0138] 2.1 Sample group to be tested: Take 10 μL of the double-ring probe solution and heat it to 90°C, incubate for 0 min, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min, and 30 min, respectively, and then slowly cool to room temperature to obtain each detection solution.
[0139] 2.2 Experimental results: Figure 2 B shows the relationship between the SYBR Green signal and incubation time of the double-ring probe. As the incubation time increases, the SYBR Green signal increases, and the SYBR Green signal of the assembled double-ring probe is significantly higher than the linear state, indicating that two double-stranded structures have been formed. However, when the incubation time reaches 20 minutes, the SYBR Green signal enhancement at 25 minutes and 30 minutes is not significantly enhanced, so the preferred incubation time is 20 minutes.
[0140] 3. Stability study of the double ring probe
[0141] 3.1 Experimental purpose: To investigate the stability of the designed double-ring probe by detecting the fluorescence intensity of the double-ring probe in different buffer solutions.
[0142] 3.2 Experimental method: The PBS solution in Example 2 was replaced with DMEM, DEPC and TM buffer respectively, and other conditions were the same.
[0143] 3.3 Experimental results: Figure 2 As shown in C, there is no significant difference in the SYBR signal intensity of the double-ring probe in PBS, DMEM, DEPC and TM buffers, which indicates that the stem structure of the probe remains relatively stable even in a complex experimental environment, thus endowing the double-ring probe with high structural stability.
[0144] 4. Verify that the molecular probe MB@plate is successfully assembled
[0145] 4.1 Experimental purpose: Use SYBR Green I dye to label the double-stranded structure formed by MB and MB-H probe complex, and use a fluorescence spectrophotometer to detect the fluorescence signal intensity in the sample at a wavelength of 500-540nm to verify MB assembly and MB recognition of H probe.
[0146] 4.2 Detection method: Same as Example 2
[0147] 4.3 Experimental results: Figure 2 As shown in D, when MB is assembled into a hairpin structure, the fluorescence signal of the MB group is significantly enhanced compared to the SYBR Green I signal of the linear group MB (L), indicating that the MB assembly is successful. When MB is hybridized with the H probe, the SYBR signal only increases slightly, which can be explained by the fact that the H probe itself has a double-stranded structure in the stem. When Exo-III is added, the SYBR Green I signal is significantly weakened, indicating that when the H probe mixture is mixed with the MB@plate, the H probe can collide with the 3' end of the MB to form a blunt end. Exonuclease Exo-III is added to the above 96-well plate. The exonuclease Exo-III recognizes the 3' blunt end, cuts the MB part of the fragment and degrades it, leaving only the single-stranded @plate. MB labeled with FAM is fixed on the plate, and the unfixed MB is washed away with PBS to verify the assembly of MB@plate. The results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 As shown in G, the FAM fluorescence signal of @plate is significantly lower than that of MB@plate, indicating that the FAM labeled with MB is successfully immobilized on the surface of the 96-well plate.
[0148] 5. Verification of Quantum Dots Labeled on Single-stranded ss-DNA
[0149] 5.1 Experimental Methods
[0150] The particle size of cadmium selenide quantum dots is about 1nm, and the transmission electron microscope image is as follows Figure 2 As shown in E.

[0152] QDs-DNA probe solution: prepared according to the QDs-DNA probe solution in Example 2
[0153] Detection method: Same as Example 2
[0154] 5.2 Experimental results: Figure 2As shown in F, the fluorescence signal can be observed by fluorescence microscope. The optimal excitation wavelength of the quantum dots of the present application is 350nm, and 350nm is the excitation light that can obtain the emission wavelength in the range of 550-600nm. The overlap of the absorption spectrum and the emission spectrum through spectral analysis proves that the single-stranded ss-DNA has been successfully labeled by quantum dots.

[0156] 1. DNA polymerase concentration screening and reaction time
[0157] 1.1 Experimental Group 1: In step (4) of the miRNA-21 detection method of Example 2, the DNA polymerase concentration was set to 10 U / L, 20 U / L, 30 U / L, 40 U / L, 50 U / L, and 60 U / L. Except for the different DNA polymerase concentrations, the other processes were the same as in Example 2.
[0158] 1.2 Experimental Group 2: Except for the DNA polymerase incubation time in step (4), which is different from that in Example 2, other steps and parameters are the same as those in Example 2.

[0160] 1.3 Experimental results: Figure 3 A. As shown in Table 3, the fluorescence intensity increases with the increase of DNA polymerase concentration and reaches the highest intensity at 40-60U / L. The fluorescence intensity at 50U / L and 60U / L is no different from that at 40U / L. Based on the principle of energy saving and consumption reduction, 40U / L is the preferred concentration of DNA polymerase. Figure 3 A. As shown in Table 3, as the incubation time increases, the fluorescence intensity increases and then reaches a maximum within 40 min. When the reaction time is longer than 40 min, the fluorescence signal hardly changes. Therefore, a reaction time of 40 min is preferred.

[0168] 3.2 Experimental Group 2: Except for the different incubation time of Exo-III in step (4) of Example 2, other steps were the same as those of Example 2.
[0169] Step (4) Add 2 μL Exo-iii (concentration 10 U / L) and incubate for 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, and 75 min, respectively.
[0170] 3.3 Experimental results: Figure 3 C. As shown in Table 4, the fluorescence intensity increases with the increase of Exo-iii concentration, and the fluorescence intensity tends to a constant value when the amount of Exo-iii is 10U / L. As the incubation time increases, the fluorescence intensity increases rapidly and then reaches equilibrium at 45 minutes. Therefore, it is preferred that the Exo-iii concentration is 10U / L and the incubation time is 45-60 minutes.

Therefore, the detection platform of the present application has a high sensitivity.
