Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical diagnosis technology, and in particular to a system and a kit for HB risk screening and early diagnosis of fetuses and infants. Background Art

[0002] Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare malignant tumor that is almost only seen in young children. It is the most common primary malignant liver tumor in children. Hepatoblastoma is a malignant embryonic tumor with multiple differentiation patterns, accounting for about 2 / 3 of primary liver tumors in children. 90% of cases occur in children under 5 years old, mainly before 2 years old. Hepatoblastoma is mostly asymptomatic in the early stage, and children often seek medical treatment due to an accidental abdominal mass. At the time of initial diagnosis, about 70% of children are already in clinical stage III or even later, missing the opportunity to completely kill the tumor through surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, resulting in a poor prognosis for children. Most children have abnormally elevated serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels, but because AFP is physiologically elevated in infancy, inflammation and benign lesions of the liver can also cause an increase in AFP, so this marker lacks specificity for HB diagnosis. Therefore, finding a more specific HB diagnostic marker will help early diagnosis of HB children, thereby improving the treatment effect of children.

[0003] With the rapid development of genetic testing technology, the role of liquid biopsy in precision medicine for tumors has become increasingly prominent, providing a new direction for early screening and diagnosis of tumors. Liquid biopsy can detect trace amounts of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), and exosome contents in body fluids such as blood and urine, and can achieve early diagnosis and real-time monitoring of tumors. It has the advantages of accuracy, non-invasiveness, high efficiency, and high repeatability.

[0004] Although the application value of cfDNA and ctDNA in tumor screening and diagnosis has been confirmed, they are mostly used in adults.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0060] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. If the specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer of the reagents or instruments used is not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0061] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] This embodiment provides a risk screening method for fetal hepatoblastoma, comprising the following steps:

[0064] (1) Obtain the reads value of miRNA and its isoforms in exosomes:

[0065] The miRNA derived from plasma exosomes of pregnant women was extracted and sequenced to obtain the read values ​​of 15 miRNA molecules and their first isomers and second isomers;

[0066] (2) Calculate the risk threshold and substitute each read value into the Ratio1 model and the Ratio2 model to obtain the risk judgment threshold:

[0067] Ratio1 = 4.8 × (mature hsa-let-7a-5p / -2nt -hsa-let-7a-5p+mature hsa-let-7b-5p / -2nt-hsa-let-7b-5p+mature hsa-let-7f-5p / -2nt-h sa-let-7f-5p)+0.6×(mature hsa-miR-122-5p / -2nt-hsa-miR-122-5p)+2.5×(mature hsa-miR-1 48a-3p / -2nt-hsa-miR-148a-3p)+0.9×(mature hsa-miR-16-5p / -2nt-hsa-miR-16-5p)+0.2 ×(mature hsa-miR-191-5p / -2nt-hsa-miR-191-5p)+0.7×(mature hsa-miR-223-3p / -2nt-hsa-mi hsa-miR-223-3p)+1.8×(mature hsa-miR-26a-5p / -2nt-hsa-miR-26a-5p)+3.6×(mature hsa-miR-27b-3p / -2nt-hsa-miR-27b-3p)+5.6×(mature hsa-miR-30d-5p / -2nt-miR-30d-5p+mature hsa-miR-3 0e-5p / -2nt-miR-30e-5p)+8.0×(mature hsa-miR-423-5p / -2nt-hsa-miR-423-5p)+0.3×(mature hsa-miR-93-3p / -2nt-hsa-miR-93-3p)+0.5×(mature hsa-miR-9-3p / -2nt-hsa-miR-9-3p);

[0068] In the formula: mature hsa-let-7a-5p / -2nt -hsa-let-7a-5p refers to the ratio between the reads of mature miRNA hsa-let-7a-5p and the reads of its isomer with 2 nucleotides missing (-2nt) at the 3' end; other ratios are understood similarly;

[0069] Ratio2 = 1.8 × (mature hsa-let-7a-5p / -1nt-hsa-let-7a-5p) + 1.6 × (mature hsa-let-7b-5p / -1nt-hsa-let-7b-5p) + 5.0 × (mature hsa-let-7f-5p / -1nt-hsa-let-7f-5p) + 1.5 × (mature hsa-miR-122-5p / -1nt -hsa-miR-122-5p) + 6.4×(mature hsa-miR-148a-3p / -1nt-hsa-miR-148a-3p) + 0.2×(mature hsa-miR-16-5p / -1nt-hsa-miR-16-5p) + 0.5×(mature hsa-miR-191-5p / -1nt-hsa-miR-191-5p) + 0.5×(mature hsa -miR-223-3p / -1nt-hsa-miR-223-3p)+4.5×(mature hsa-miR-26a-5p / -1nt-hsa-miR-26a-5p)+1.6×(mature hsa-miR-27b-3p / -1nt-hsa-miR-27b-3p)+1.8×(mature hsa-miR-30d-5p / -1nt-miR-30d-5p +mature hsa-miR-30e-5p / -1nt-miR-30e-5p)+4.0×(mature hsa-miR-423-5p / -1nt-hsa-miR-423-5p)+0.5×(mature hsa-miR-93-3p / -1nt-hsa-miR-93-3p)+2.5×(mature hsa-miR-9-3p / -1nt-hsa-miR-9-3p)

[0070] In the formula: mature hsa-let-7a-5p / -1nt -hsa-let-7a-5p refers to the ratio between the reads of mature miRNA hsa-let-7a-5p and the reads of its isomer with one nucleotide missing (-1nt) at the 3' end; the read ratios of other molecules are understood similarly;

[0071] (3) The risk of fetal HB is judged based on Ratio1 and Ratio2: if Ratio1+Ratio2≥16.80, the fetus to be screened is judged to be at high risk of HB; if Ratio1+Ratio2≤11.68, the fetus to be screened is judged to be at low risk of HB; if 11.68<Ratio1+Ratio2<16.80, it cannot be judged and it is recommended to strengthen follow-up.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] This embodiment provides an early diagnosis method for hepatoblastoma in infants, comprising the following steps:

[0074] (1) Obtaining the reads value of miRNA and its isoforms in exosomes: the same as Example 1.

[0075] (2) Calculate the risk threshold and substitute each read value into the above Ratio2 model to obtain the risk judgment threshold:

[0076] (3) The risk of HB in infants should be judged based on Ratio2: if Ratio2 ≥ 10.92, the infant is judged to be at high risk of HB; if Ratio2 ≤ 7.22, the infant is judged to be at low risk of HB; if 7.22 < Ratio2 < 10.92, no judgment can be made and follow-up is recommended.

[0077] Example 3

[0078] Specific application of the risk screening method provided in Example 1:

[0079] At 30 weeks of pregnancy, the miRNA derived from plasma exosomes of 924 pregnant women was sequenced by NGS method and a report was generated based on the Ratio1+Ratio2 model (risk screening method of Example 1), predicting 896 cases of low risk of fetal HB, and followed up one and two years after the birth of the newborn. 28 cases of high risk of fetal HB were predicted, and these 28 newborns were followed up 6 months after birth. Among them, 3 children had atypical symptoms such as abdominal pain, and 25 children had no symptoms of HB. The plasma exosome-derived miRNA of these 3 children with atypical symptoms was sequenced and the report generated based on the Ratio2 model indicated high risk, and they were diagnosed with HB within 1 year old, with clinical stage I, and the tumor was completely eliminated by surgery. 25 asymptomatic children were again sequenced for plasma exosome-derived miRNA at the age of 1 year old and a report was generated based on the Ratio2 model, of which 16 cases indicated high risk and 9 cases were low risk. The 9 children with low risk in the test report remained healthy and had no symptoms of HB when they were followed up at the age of 2 years old. The 16 high-risk children were followed up at the age of 2 years. Thirteen of them were clinically diagnosed with stage I HB, and their tumors did not progress and were completely eliminated through surgery. The other three children remained healthy and had no HB symptoms at the end of the follow-up.

[0080] The positive predictive value of the Ratio1+Ratio2 model (the risk screening method of Example 1) for infants with HB in the fetal period reached 57.14%, and the negative predictive value within 24 months reached 100% (the model was not followed up continuously until after 3 years of age). The positive predictive value of the Ratio2 model (early diagnosis of Example 2) for infants with HB after birth reached 84.21%, and the negative predictive value within 24 months reached 100% (the model was not followed up continuously until after 3 years of age). More importantly, the HB children with positive test reports were in the early stages of HB due to good risk management, and their prognosis after treatment was very good. Table 1 shows the prediction results and follow-up diagnosis results. Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing the detection process of this embodiment.

[0081] Table 1

[0082]

[0083] Example 4

[0084] This embodiment provides an application of the early diagnosis method of embodiment 2

[0085] A total of 408 children were enrolled, including 127 confirmed HB patients and 281 children with benign liver tumors and inflammation. Detailed information is shown in Table 2.

[0086] Table 2

[0087]

[0088] Among them, the HB group included 121 cases of stage I and 6 cases of stage II, and none of them had hepatoblastoma metastasis. The sensitivity and specificity of this method in the differential diagnosis of early HB were evaluated using the method of Example 2 by using the NGS sequencing data of microRNA derived from plasma exosomes and the quantitative data of mature and isoforms of 15 microRNAs using the fluorescent PCR technology platform, and the AUC value of the ROC curve was used to compare the NGS method and the fluorescent PCR method. The ROC curve was generated using the Ratio2 of each of the 408 samples (see Figure 2 ), among which the AUC of NGS method was 0.999 (95% confidence interval 0.999-1.000), sensitivity 98.9%, and specificity 99.2%; the AUC of qPCR method was 0.950 (95% confidence interval 0.930-0.970), sensitivity 85.4%, and specificity 92.9%. The above results show that the early diagnosis method of Example 2 has high specificity and sensitivity.

[0089] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations.
