Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of molecular biology detection, and in particular to a primer composition and a kit for detecting telomerase activity of human cells. Background Art

[0002] Since the 21st century, the research and development and clinical application of cell drugs have received great attention at home and abroad. Human stem cells, somatic cells and immune cells have strong biological and clinical medical effects. Human cell drugs have good therapeutic effects in the treatment of cancer, organ damage and immune system diseases. Because cell drugs have biological activity, their safety has also attracted great attention. Cell tumorigenicity is one of the important indicators for evaluating their safety.

[0003] Telomeres are special protein-DNA complex structures at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. Telomere sequences of human cells are composed of multiple sets of the same sequence "5'-TTAGGG-3'". Telomeres gradually shorten during normal cell division. When they reach a critical length, cells stop dividing and trigger apoptosis.

[0004] Telomerase is a ribonucleoproteinase composed of RNA and protein. Telomerase can replicate and synthesize telomere sequences using its own RNA as a template. Telomerase activity is present in actively proliferating cells, but not in normal mature somatic cells. It is also found that the vast majority of tumor cells are telomerase-positive, while the positive rate in normal tissues is very low. Therefore, telomerase can be used as a broad tumor marker, and telomerase activity has also become an important indicator of cell tumorigenicity.

[0005] In recent years, with the launch of a large number of human cell products, the tumorigenicity of the products has also become an important quality control item.

[0006] At present, there is no standard kit for detecting telomerase activity in human cells. Commonly used detection kits include direct detection kits and indirect detection kits. The principle of the direct detection kit is to amplify and detect the telomere repeat DNA sequence. It is mainly based on the improved method of TRAP (Telomeric repeat amplification protocol, TRAP). Its kit also needs to be subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) after PCR operation, which takes a long time to detect and is complicated to operate. The principle of the indirect detection kit is that the expression of the telomerase catalytic subunit TERT is positively correlated with the level of telomerase activity. Telomerase activity can be indirectly detected by detecting the mRNA expression of TERT. The method has the disadvantage that mRNA needs to be extracted and reverse transcribed before amplification detection. Finally, the amplification product needs to be detected by agarose gel electrophoresis and the results need to be analyzed by gel image. The detection time is long and the operation is not simple. It is not suitable for the production and quality inspection of cell drugs.

[0007] The above detection kits have various defects, and there is an urgent need for an accurate, rapid, specific and convenient detection kit to solve the problem of detecting telomerase activity in human cells during the production and quality inspection of cell drugs. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to find a primer combination and a kit for detecting telomerase activity in human cells, based on a direct detection method without the need for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and a kit for rapidly detecting telomerase activity in human cells using RT-PCR.

[0009] The present invention is implemented in the following way: using telomerase cell lysis solution to lyse cells to obtain high-concentration telomerase, using telomerase reaction solution and telomerase reaction initiation primer tele-TS SEQ ID NO.3 to carry out telomere extension reaction, using telomerase reaction product and telomerase activity detection PCR reaction solution, PCR reaction primer combination tele-F SEQ ID NO.1 and PCR reaction primer combination tele-R SEQ ID NO.2 to carry out RT-PCR, detecting the expression amount of cell telomeres, and determining the telomerase activity according to the Ct value of RT-PCR.

[0010] A primer combination for detecting telomerase activity in human cells, wherein the primer combination for detecting PCR reaction includes the following base sequence:

[0011] tele-F: 5'-GGCAATCCGTACGAGCAGAGTTAAG-3'SEQ ID NO.1

[0012] tele-R: 5'-TTAAGCGCGGCTTACCCTTACCCTTACCCTAACCGGCC-3' SEQ ID NO. 2.

[0013] The base sequence of the initiating primer for telomerase reaction:

[0014] tele-TS: 5'-GGCAATCCGTACGAGCAGAGTTAAG-3'SEQ ID NO.3.

[0015] A kit for detecting telomerase activity in human cells, comprising the following components:

[0016] 1) Telomerase cell lysate;

[0017] 2) Telomerase reaction solution;

[0018] 3) RT-PCR reaction solution for telomerase activity detection;

[0019] 4) The above-mentioned RT-PCR reaction primers tele-F and tele-R and the above-mentioned telomerase reaction initiation primer tele-TS.

[0020] Furthermore, the kit for detecting telomerase activity in human cells comprises the following separately packaged components:

[0021] Component A, for performing cell lysis, including telomerase cell lysis solution;

[0022] Component B, used for telomerase reaction, including telomerase reaction solution, 100 mM dNTP, 0.01 mM telomerase reaction initiation primer tele-TS base sequence SEQ ID NO.3;

[0023] Component C is used for telomerase-catalyzed extension reaction, including telomerase activity detection PCR reaction solution, PCR reaction primer combination 0.01mM tele-F base sequence SEQ ID NO.1, 0.01mM tele-R base sequence SEQ ID NO.2.

[0024] The telomerase cell lysis solution contains: 0.2% of 1.5M Tris-HCl at pH 8.8, 1.6mM MgCl2·6H2O, 1.1mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 0.8mM sodium deoxycholate, 10% glycerol, 43mM NaCl, 5mM β-mercaptoethanol, 65mM CHAPS, and the remainder is DEPC water, and the percentages are volume percentages.

[0025] The telomerase reaction solution contains: 12% by volume of 1.5M Tris-HCl with a pH of 8.8, 67mM KCl, 14mM MgCl2·6H2O, 10mM EGTA, and the remainder is DEPC water.

[0026] The telomerase activity detection PCR reaction solution contains: 0.01% PCR-grade SYBR Green I 10000×, 1.3% 1.5M Tris-HCl at pH 8.8, 1.3mM EDTA, 0.14M KCl, 9% glycerol, 26mM MgCl2·6H2O, 1M betaine, 2% formamide, 129mM DTT, 5% DMSO, 39mM ammonium sulfate, 0.1% 2.5mM dNTP, 5U / μl hot start enzyme, the remainder is sterile water, and the percentages are volume percentages.

[0027] The advantages and technical effects of the present invention are as follows: Different from the traditional telomerase activity detection, the kit of the present invention detects the telomerase activity of multiple generations and batches of Hela cells and MRC-5 cells by using PCR to obtain the Ct values ​​of a large number of samples. After repeated experiments, according to the characteristics of the telomerase activity of Hela cells and MRC-5 cells and the experimental results, it is decided to use Hela cells as a positive control and MRC-5 cells as a negative control, and the judgment standard of the telomerase activity of human cells in the present invention is obtained based on statistical software. The old Trap method finally requires agarose gel electrophoresis detection of the amplified product and gel image analysis of the result, which takes a long time to detect and is not easy to operate, and is not suitable for the production and quality inspection of cell drugs. The kit of the present invention can intuitively judge the strength of telomerase activity only by the Ct value. Compared with the same type of kits in the market (Telomerase Activity Quantification qPCR Assay Kit manufacturer: ScienCell article number: 8928), the telomerase reaction time of the kit of the present invention is 1 hour, and the Telomerase Activity Quantification qPCR Assay Kit is 3 hours, and the sensitivity of PCR detection of telomerase expression is higher than that of the same products in the market. The kit of the present invention is accurate, fast, highly sensitive, reproducible, easy to operate, and the method for determining the test results is simple. It provides a new detection technology for mass production and later quality control of cell drug products. It can be used for the detection of telomerase activity of human cells in cell drug production and quality inspection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
