Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gene mutation detection technology, specifically relating to a kit and detection method for detecting NRAS gene mutations. Background Technology

[0002] The NRAS gene belongs to the RAS family of proto-oncogenes and encodes the N-Ras protein. It participates in regulating the activity of downstream proteins RAF and PI3K, playing a crucial role in the EGFR-RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathways. The NRAS gene also plays an important role in life processes such as cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. When the NRAS gene undergoes gain-of-function mutations, it continuously activates its downstream pathways, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and ultimately tumorigenesis. In hematologic malignancies, according to the COSMIC database, NRAS mutations are found in 23.1% of JMML, 9.1-16.0% of ALL, 9.5-13.2% of AML, 12.3% of CMML, and approximately 5% of MDS, and are rarely seen in other myeloid tumors (<5%). In MDS, especially in low-risk MDS patients, NRAS mutations are associated with poor prognosis. In adult AML, mutations are seen in CBFB-MYH11, CEBPA double mutations, GATA2, MECOM, MLLt(x;11), NPM1, and spliceosomal subtypes, but have no significant impact on clinical outcomes. In pediatric AML patients, NRAS gene mutations suggest a worse prognosis. NRAS p.G12V (c.35G>T) is a hotspot mutation with strong clinical significance.

[0003] Currently, common methods for detecting NRAS p.G12V mutations include first-generation / second-generation sequencing, allele-based PCR (AS-PCR), and quantitative real-time PCR. Sequencing methods suffer from drawbacks such as operational complexity, expensive equipment, long detection cycles, and the need for specialized personnel training. Compared to sequencing, AS-PCR electrophoresis offers a shorter detection cycle; however, this method, relying on electrophoresis, can easily lead to misinterpretations in samples with low mutation levels. Traditional real-time quantitative PCR depends on reference materials or standards, and in practice, inhibitors in nucleic acid samples or environmental factors can significantly interfere with the detection, reducing its accuracy. Therefore, a simple, short-cycle, highly sensitive, and highly specific method for detecting NRAS p.G12V mutations is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0053] 2. Design of NRAS wild-type and mutant sequence crRNAs

[0054] (1) Three crRNA sequences were designed to identify wild-type and mutant types for the gene sequence of NRAS (p.G12V) mutation site. The crRNAs have an introduced mismatch base, and the sequences are shown in Table 1 as SEQ ID NO:3-8.

[0055] Table 1 shows the sequence of crRNA.

[0056]

[0057] (2) In vitro transcription of crRNA: The crRNA expression plasmid was synthesized using conventional methods. The crRNA transcription template was obtained by PCR amplification of the synthesized crRNA expression plasmid, followed by in vitro transcription and purification to obtain the crRNA required for detection.

[0058] The method for in vitro transcription of crRNA is as follows: react at 37°C for 16 hours in the following system: 1.5 μL each of NTPs, 1.5 μL of 10× Reactionbuffer, 1 μg of DNA template, 1.5 μL of T7 RNA Polymerase Mix, and Nuclease-free water to a final volume of 20 μL.

[0059] The purification method for crRNA transcripts is as follows: after treating the transcripts with DNase I (TaKaRa) for 15 min, the transcribed crRNA is purified using the NEBRNA Cleanup Kit.

[0060] (3) Design and Synthesis of Isothermal Amplification Primers: Isothermal amplification (RPA) primers were designed for the NRAS (p.G12V) site. Three sets of RPA amplification primers were designed, as shown in Table 2 below. These primers were used to amplify the WT template and BC template, respectively. The isothermal amplification reaction system included 10 μL of Abuffer, 500 nM Primer-F / R, and the template, with water added to a final volume of 20 μL. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 min, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results are shown below. Figure 1 As shown, Primer3 has two bands, indicating non-specific amplification, while Primer2 has only one band, but its brightness is low, indicating low amplification efficiency. Primer1 has a bright band, indicating high amplification efficiency. Therefore, Primer1 was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0063] 4. Synthesize single-stranded DNA fluorescent probe FQ-ssDNAreporter

[0064] The fluorescent probe has a nucleotide sequence of 5-15 random bases. The 5' end of the probe is labeled with the fluorescent group FAM, and the 3' end is labeled with the quencher group BHQ-1.

[0065] 5. One-tube testing

[0066] Prepare the isothermal amplification reaction reagent system (component 1): Add 29.5 μL of Abuffer, 2 μL of 10 μM Primer-F, 2 μL of 10 μM Primer-R, and 14.1 μL of nuclease-free water to the isothermal amplification lyophilized powder, and mix thoroughly until the lyophilized powder is completely dissolved. Prepare the CRISPR / Cas12a cleavage reaction reagent system (component 2): Contain 20 nM LbaCas12a, 40 nM crRNA-W or crRNA-M, 800 nM single-stranded DNA fluorescent probe (5'-FAM, 3'-BHQ), 1 U RNase inhibitor (TaKaRa), and 1×NEBbuffer 2.1. The concentrations of each component in component 2 are the concentrations in the final reaction system. Mix components 1 and 2. The final 25 μL mixture contains 15 μL of component 1, 6 μL of component 2, 2 μL of nucleic acid sample, and 20 mM magnesium acetate solution. The reaction conditions were 37℃ for 60 min. Fluorescence values ​​were read using QuantStudio 5, and the cells could be observed under a blue light after incubation.

[0067] 6. crRNA screening

[0068] The obtained WT-crRNA and MT-crRNA were used to detect MT template, WT template, and BC (blank control), respectively. A 25 μL reaction mixture contained 20 nM LbaCas12a, 40 nM WT crRNA (or MT crRNA), 800 nM single-stranded DNA fluorescent probes (5'-FAM, 3'-BHQ1), 10 U RNase inhibitor (TaKaRa), 5 nM linearized double-stranded DNA, and 1×NEBbuffer 2.1. The reaction conditions were 37℃ for 60 min, with continuous fluorescence collection during the reaction. The results are shown below. Figure 2 As shown, crRNA-W detected a gradually increasing fluorescence signal in the WT template, but no significant signal was detected in the MT template, with signal intensity close to that of BC. This indicates that crRNA-W can clearly distinguish between WT and MT templates. Similarly, crRNA-M detected a gradually increasing fluorescence signal in the MT template, but no significant signal was detected in the WT template, with signal intensity close to that of BC. This indicates that crRNA-M can clearly distinguish between WT and MT templates. After incubation, the results can be observed under blue light. Figure 3As shown, crRNA-W recognizes the WT template with a clear signal, but hardly recognizes the MT template, and shows no clear signal for BC. crRNA-M recognizes the MT template with a clear signal, but shows no clear signal for either the WT template or BC. Therefore, it can effectively distinguish between WT and MT templates. Comparing the three crRNAs in the WT and MT groups respectively, NRAS-WT-crRNA1-1 and NRAS-MT-crRNA1-1 showed high cleavage efficiency, achieving a clear signal in a short time and detecting low-frequency mutations, demonstrating excellent performance. Therefore, these two crRNAs were selected for the subsequent detection system.

[0069] Example 2 Sensitivity Detection

The mixed reaction system prepared in Example 1 (containing NRAS-WT-crRNA1-1) was added to the NRAS(p.G12V) wild-type linearized plasmid template, and the mixed reaction system (containing NRAS-MT-crRNA1-1) was added to the NRAS(p.G12V) mutant linearized plasmid, followed by the addition of an activator. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, and the fluorescence values ​​were read. The results are as follows: Figures 4-5 As shown, the detection sensitivity of wild-type crRNA-W can reach 10. -14 M( Figure 4 The detection sensitivity of mutant crRNA-M can reach 10. -17 M( Figure 5 ).

[0071] Example 3 Sensitivity Detection

[0072] This embodiment uses a mixed plasmid sample of wild-type and mutant NRAS(p.G12V) for detection. A certain concentration of MT template was taken and mixed with different amounts of WT template to obtain mixed samples containing MT:WT = 1:1, 1:10, 1:100, 1:1000, and 1:1000. The mixed sample was then added to the mixed reaction system prepared in Example 1 (the crRNA in the system was NRAS-MT-crRNA1-1) for detection.

[0073] The results showed that the MT concentration was 10. -17 At M, a 1:1 ratio (WT concentration of 10) can be detected. -16 Mixed samples of M) Figure 6 ). MT concentration is 10 -15 When M, a ratio of 1:10 can be detected (WT is 10). -13 Mixed samples of M) Figure 7); MT concentration is 10 -13 At M, a detection ratio of 1:1000 (WT is 10) can be achieved. -11 Mixed samples of M) Figure 8 ); MT concentration is 10 -11 At M, a detection ratio of 1:100 (WT is 10) can be achieved. -9 Mixed samples of M) Figure 9 In summary, this detection system can detect samples containing 0.1% mutations.

After incubation, the images were taken under a blue light spectrometer. The results were observed visually as follows. Figure 10 As shown, samples with 1% mutations exhibited obvious fluorescent signals visible to the naked eye.

[0076] Example 5: Clinical Sample Testing

Nucleic acid was extracted using conventional methods, and the next-generation sequencing results of the 16 samples are shown in Table 3. 100 ng of nucleic acid was added to the mixed reaction system prepared in Example 1 for detection. Fluorescence results were read using QuantStudio 5, and the results are as follows. Figure 11 As shown. Compared with the 6 negative samples, the 10 positive samples produced obvious fluorescence signals, and the positive and negative samples could be distinguished by visual observation under a blue light spectrometer, such as...
