Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a primer set and a kit for early diagnosis of prostate cancer and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Prostate cancer refers to an epithelial malignant tumor that occurs in the prostate. The early symptoms of prostate cancer are not obvious. As the disease progresses, some symptoms may gradually appear. The symptoms can be divided into two categories: one is compression symptoms. The gradually enlarged prostate gland compresses the urethra and can cause progressive dysuria, which manifests as dysuria, slow urine flow, easy interruption of urine flow, incomplete urination, frequent urination, urgency, and increased nocturia. The diseased part compresses the rectum and can cause difficulty in defecation or intestinal obstruction, compresses the vas deferens and causes lack of ejaculation, and compresses the nerves and causes local pain. The other is the metastasis symptom. Prostate cancer may invade the seminal vesicles and vascular nerve bundles, causing hematuria and hematospermia.

[0004] Prostate cancer is diagnosed by: 1. Rectal examination: It is an important and commonly used method for diagnosing prostate cancer. It is also the main method for diagnosing early prostate cancer. Because the prostate is very close to the rectum, rectal examination can be used to understand the shape, size, hardness, etc. of the prostate. This method is simple and easy to operate, but it is more difficult to detect early tumors.

[0005] 2. Transrectal ultrasound: Transrectal ultrasound has good clinical efficacy and can detect abnormal prostate nodules. It has the advantages of high sensitivity, easy operation, and cost-effectiveness. However, its detection rate for early tumors is low.

[0006] 3. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test: Serum prostate specific antigen refers to a substance secreted by prostate tissue, which is closely related to the occurrence of prostate cancer. The determination of PSA is currently an effective method for diagnosing prostate cancer. Studies have reported that the sensitivity of PSA detection is related to the stage of prostate cancer: I and II are lower than 25%, and III and IV are higher than 50%. It can be seen that the PSA test has a low detection rate for early prostate cancer.

[0007] DNA methylation is one of the earliest DNA modification pathways discovered by scientists. Under the catalysis of methyltransferase, methyl groups are selectively added to the cytosine of the two nucleotides CG of DNA to form 5-methylcytosine. DNA methylation can cause changes in chromatin structure, DNA stability, etc., thereby controlling the expression of genes in the body. In a broad sense, DNA methylation refers to the chemical modification process in which a specific base on the DNA sequence obtains a methyl group through covalent bond binding under the catalysis of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) with S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) as a methyl donor.

[0008] The methylation level of the promoter region of cancer-related genes in tumor cells is significantly different from that in normal cells. These differences are used as biomarkers to detect the occurrence and recurrence of tumors and predict the prognosis of tumor patients. DNA methylation is involved in specific regulatory mechanisms, which can determine the gene expression pattern of cells and can be inherited to daughter cells without changes in DNA sequence. DNA methylation testing can be used to detect early tumor occurrence and early recurrence of tumors.

The present invention provides a method for diagnosing prostate cancer by detecting DNA methylation in urine sediment The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Good specificity: Conventional tumor markers may also increase under non-tumor pathological or physiological conditions, and there is a certain proportion of false positives in clinical testing. However, the methylation markers of exfoliated cells only occur in abnormal cells and therefore have good specificity.

[0037] (2) Can track the course of the disease: DNA methylation testing of exfoliated cells after prostate cancer massage can reflect whether there are prostate tumor cells in the patient's urine on the day of sampling. After surgical resection of the tumor tissue or other treatment methods, if the treatment is thorough, the urine obtained through prostate massage after surgery and other treatments can be tested as negative for DNA methylation of exfoliated cells, thus being able to reflect the dynamic progression of the tumor in real time.

[0038] (3) Higher sensitivity: Relying on high-sensitivity detection technology of urine sediment, the detection kit of the present invention can perform qualitative analysis on DNA methylation of single-copy tumor exfoliated cells, thereby achieving high-sensitivity detection of prostate cancer.

[0039] (4) Recurrence risk assessment: After surgical resection of tumor tissue, the kit of the present invention can be used to detect methylation of urine exfoliated cells to determine whether the surgery was complete and whether there are any tiny lesions remaining, thereby assessing the risk of recurrence after treatment.
