Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of molecular diagnostic technology, and to a JEV detection nucleic acid combination, kit and method based on a CRISPR-Cas12a system. Background Art

[0002] Due to the unpredictable outbreak and spread of arboviruses, many arboviruses can cause serious human diseases. These viruses are usually transmitted by vector insects such as mosquitoes and ticks, and their outbreaks are often accompanied by changes in the ecological environment, such as climate warming and poor water resource management. In addition, the acceleration of globalization and the increase in international travel have also provided convenient conditions for the spread of arboviruses. The symptoms caused by most arboviruses are not obviously specific, and often manifest as flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache, and muscle pain, which makes early diagnosis extremely challenging and easily confused with other diseases. Especially in areas with limited resources, the lack of rapid, sensitive and specific detection methods has led to great difficulties in the control and prevention of arboviruses. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the detection capabilities of arboviruses, which can not only improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of diseases, but also effectively control the outbreak and spread of epidemics.

[0003] Epidemic Japanese encephalitis (abbreviated as "JE"), also known as Japanese encephalitis, is an acute infectious disease that causes central nervous system damage caused by the Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV). JE is widespread, causing tens of thousands of cases of encephalitis each year, many of which occur in children. JE is highly pathogenic, with a mortality rate of 20% to 30%, and about 30% to 50% of survivors may suffer from severe neurological sequelae, such as mental retardation, abnormal behavior, language disorders, and movement disorders. Culex mosquitoes, the main vector of JE virus, usually breed in humid environments such as ponds, ponds, or irrigated rice fields. The spread of JE virus has obvious seasonality, and it often breaks out after the rainy season when mosquitoes are active. Humans are generally susceptible to JE virus, and most symptoms after infection are mild, with only a few showing typical JE symptoms, which makes early identification and treatment difficult.

[0004] The incubation period of Japanese encephalitis is 4-14 days. The initial symptoms are mainly acute encephalitis symptoms, such as fever, headache, nausea, vomiting and lethargy. If the patient fails to receive standardized treatment in time, he may experience severe symptoms such as impaired consciousness, convulsions or seizures, and respiratory failure within 2-3 days. Japanese encephalitis virus belongs to the genus Flavivirus of the family Flaviviridae and is a single-stranded positive-strand RNA virus. Its genome is about 11,000 nucleotides long and contains only one open reading frame, encoding 3 structural proteins (Capsid protein C, pre-membrane protein PrM / membrane protein M, envelope protein E) and 7 non-structural proteins (NS1, NS2a, NS2b, NS3, NS4a, NS4b, NS5). The viral genome contains 5' and 3' non-coding regions on both sides.

[0005] At present, the main methods for detecting arboviruses can be divided into three categories: serological testing, virus isolation and identification, and molecular biological diagnosis. Serological detection techniques include complement fixation test, neutralization test, hemagglutination inhibition test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which mainly detect IgM and IgG specific antibodies. IgM antibodies can be detected 3-5 days after arbovirus infection, while IgG can be detected 7-10 days after infection. Therefore, IgM is mainly used as a marker for acute infection, while IgG is used as a marker for late infection and secondary infection.

[0006] Among the existing arbovirus detection technologies, although serological detection, virus isolation and identification, and molecular biological diagnostic methods each have their own advantages, there are still some technical problems that need to be solved urgently. First, although serological detection technology is mature and widely used, it mainly relies on the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM antibodies can be detected 3-5 days after infection, while IgG will not appear until 7-10 days after infection, which may cause false negative results in serological detection in early infection. In addition, the detection time of serological detection is long and cannot meet the needs of rapid diagnosis. Secondly, as the gold standard for etiological diagnosis, although virus isolation and identification has high specificity and can provide comprehensive virus information, its operation is complicated, time-consuming, and requires high laboratory conditions. This limits its application in on-site detection and also increases the cost of detection. Thirdly, although molecular biological diagnostic methods such as gene chips and qPCR technology have high sensitivity and specificity, they also have some problems. The sensitivity and specificity of gene chips depend on probe design, and the cost is high, which is not suitable for large-scale promotion. Although qPCR technology is accurate in quantification, it requires strict experimental operations and expensive instruments and equipment, which makes it difficult to use in areas with limited resources and in on-site testing.

[0007] Molecular biological diagnostic methods include gene chips and qPCR technology. The detection principle of gene chips is to first fix the probe on the support, then hybridize the sample molecule with the probe, and obtain the content and sequence information of the sample molecule by detecting the hybridization signal intensity of each probe molecule. Gene chip technology is suitable for large-scale screening and gene expression analysis, but its sensitivity and specificity depend on probe design and the cost is relatively high. qPCR technology amplifies the target nucleic acid sequence through specific primers, and uses fluorescent dyes or probes to monitor the accumulation of amplification products in real time, thereby achieving quantitative analysis of specific DNA or RNA sequences. qPCR technology has the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity and accurate quantification, but it requires strict experimental operations and instruments and equipment, and the detection cost is relatively high.

[0008] In recent years, CRISPR-Cas12a technology has shown great potential in virus detection. Its unique trans-cutting properties and high sensitivity make it a new tool for rapid detection of pathogens. In the detection of SARS-CoV-2 (new coronavirus), the SHERLOCK detection system developed by CRISPR-Cas12a can accurately identify viral RNA in a short time with a sensitivity as high as single copy level. Similarly, the application of CRISPR-Cas12a in HPV (human papillomavirus) detection has also shown its advantages of high specificity and rapid detection. These success stories show that CRISPR-Cas12a not only performs well in laboratory environments, but also has great potential for point-of-care testing (POCT) applications.

[0009] In summary, although the existing serological detection, virus isolation and identification, and molecular biological diagnostic methods have their own advantages, they still have certain limitations. These detection technologies have limitations in terms of sensitivity, specificity, detection time, and operational complexity, and it is difficult to fully meet the needs of rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of arboviruses. Rapid and sensitive detection methods for JEV still need to be developed and improved. Therefore, the development of a detection method that can simplify the operating process, shorten the detection time, and has high sensitivity and high specificity has become the key to solving the problems of the existing technology.

[0041] This application innovatively designs a specific crRNA sequence based on the CRISPR-Cas12a system, a nucleic acid combination containing it, and a detection kit. The kit guides the Cas12a protein to specifically recognize and cut the JEV nucleic acid sequence through crRNA, and combines the fluorescence signal amplification mechanism to achieve rapid, sensitive and specific detection of JEV. Compared with traditional technologies, the method of this application can significantly simplify the operation process, shorten the detection time, and greatly improve the sensitivity and specificity of the detection, and has good potential for field application. On the whole, this application is superior to serological detection, virus isolation and identification, and molecular biological diagnostic methods in terms of ease of operation, detection efficiency, and accuracy, and can improve the detection efficiency and accuracy of arboviruses, providing a new solution for the rapid diagnosis and monitoring of arboviruses; It provides a more efficient and reliable technical means for the rapid diagnosis and detection of JEV. In addition, there is no patent for CRISPR detection technology specifically for JEV. This application fills this gap and proposes a JEV detection kit and crRNA sequence based on the CRISPR-Cas12a system, which provides a new technical approach for the specific detection of JEV.

[0042] The patent of this invention "A JEV detection kit and crRNA sequence based on CRISPR-Cas12a" amplifies the JEV virus through reverse transcription-recombinase-mediated strand displacement nucleic acid amplification (Reverse Transcription-Recombinase-aidedAmplification, RT-RAA), and then uses CRISPR-Cas12a technology to detect the amplified product. Its basic principle is as follows: First, RNA is reverse transcribed into cDNA by reverse transcriptase, and then the recombinase binds to the primer DNA fragment at room temperature to form a recombinase / primer complex and invade the RNA-cDNA double-stranded nucleic acid template. At the invasion site, the recombinase unwinds the double strand, and the single-stranded binding protein (SSB) binds to the unwound single strand to maintain the open-strand state of the double-stranded template. At this time, the recombinase / primer complex scans the template to find a complementary sequence that completely matches the primer. Once a matching complementary sequence is found, the recombinase / primer complex dissociates, and the strand displacement DNA polymerase immediately performs a strand exchange reaction, initiates DNA synthesis, and exponentially amplifies the target area. After the target amplification is completed, LbCas12a forms a ternary complex with the designed crRNA and target sequence that specifically targets the target sequence, and non-specifically cuts the single-stranded DNA fluorescent reporter probe (ssDNA 8C-FQ) in the reaction system to generate a fluorescent signal. By detecting the intensity of the fluorescent signal, the presence and concentration of the target nucleic acid can be indicated.

[0138] 3. Determination of fluorescence curve results

[0139] 1) Within the same testing time, if the fluorescence intensity value of the experimental group is more than 2 times higher than that of the negative control, it is judged as a positive result, that is, the sample to be tested contains Japanese encephalitis virus nucleic acid; otherwise, it is a negative result, that is, the sample to be tested does not contain Japanese encephalitis virus nucleic acid.

[0140] 2) The fluorescence value of the 5th cycle was selected as the starting fluorescence value, and the fluorescence value of the 64th cycle was selected as the end fluorescence value. The end / start fluorescence ratio was calculated. If it was greater than 2, it was determined to be a positive result.

Figure 2 As shown, when the same concentration of JEV target nucleic acid was used as the detection template, the fluorescence value of JEV-crRNA03 detected at 15 min was the highest, so JEV-crRNA03 was selected as the preferred crRNA for the method of the present invention.

[0145] Example 3 Sensitivity detection of Japanese encephalitis virus nucleic acid based on CRISPR-Cas12a system

[0146] The Japanese encephalitis virus JEV target RNA template obtained in Example 1 was gradiently diluted to obtain RNA solutions containing nucleic acid fragments of different concentrations, and JEV-crRNA03 was used as the selected crRNA in the trans-cleavage system to detect the sensitivity of the method of the present invention.
