Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nucleic acid aptamer screening, and in particular to an automated nucleic acid aptamer screening method. Background Art
[0002] Nucleic acid aptamers are short single-stranded RNA or DNA oligonucleotide sequences. This sequence can form a partially complementary secondary structure, and further fold and entangle based on this to form a more complex three-dimensional spatial conformation. This conformation enables nucleic acid aptamers to recognize specific target molecules, which is similar to antibodies in function and is an important type of functional molecule. At the same time, nucleic acid aptamers have special properties such as nucleic acid amplification, sequencing and encoding, showing broad application prospects in many fields.
[0003] All aptamers are selected by in vitro evolution, a technique called systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX). The classic SELEX method usually covers three main steps: incubation, separation, and amplification. Specifically, first, the random library will naturally fold to form a variety of different types of secondary structures, including but not limited to hairpins, pseudoknots, protrusions, G-quadruplexes, etc., and then incubate and bind with the target. Next, different separation techniques are used to separate the unbound nucleic acid sequences to obtain sequences that bind to the target. Subsequently, the sequences that bind to the target are eluted and amplified by PCR amplification. Finally, the candidate sequences undergo multiple rounds of iterative screening, so that these sequences gradually dominate and enrich in the library, and then the screened sequences are sequenced and analyzed. However, the traditional SELEX method is usually cumbersome in the sample processing process and often relies on manual operations. It requires multiple rounds of screening to isolate aptamers with sufficient specificity and binding affinity, and it also has high technical operation requirements for experimenters. It lacks the ability to screen multiple targets with high throughput. It has defects such as low throughput, long time, high cost, high operation error rate, poor stability and low success rate, which seriously hinders the rapid development of this field.
[0004] With the widespread application of nucleic acid aptamers, the SELEX method is also constantly improving. In order to improve the screening efficiency and success rate, semi-automatic screening has gradually replaced traditional manual screening, such as a semi-automatic screening instrument based on a magnetic rod. The semi-automatic screening instrument is equipped with a matching deep-well plate and a magnetic rod sleeve. The magnetic rod sleeve is installed on the mobile device of the semi-automatic instrument and can be inserted into the deep-well plate to achieve mixing and magnetic suction operations. This semi-automatic screening method reduces some manual experimental steps, such as incubation and cleaning, and can screen more than a dozen targets at the same time. The screening efficiency is more than ten times higher than that of traditional manual screening, and the human interference factor is greatly reduced, saving a lot of time and manpower. However, the current semi-automatic screening method still has many shortcomings. On the one hand, some experimental operations still need to be performed manually, such as automated heating and elution, PCR amplification, and single-stranded production. In particular, the quality inspection parts such as qPCR detection, fragment analysis, and microplate reader concentration determination in the screening process monitoring are still unable to achieve automated operation. On the other hand, semi-automated screening can only automate some experimental steps, and the entire screening experimental step cannot be automated and run continuously, which still requires a lot of manpower and time. In addition, the throughput of semi-automated screening is not very high, and only a dozen targets can be screened in parallel, which has a great negative impact on the screening process and efficiency.
[0005] In view of the various shortcomings of existing technologies, there is an urgent need to develop new, more effective and faster SELEX methods to meet the growing needs of scientific research and applications. Summary of the invention

[0156] Data analysis:
[0157] By adopting the technical solution of the present application, one round of automated screening of aptamers can be completed, including reverse screening and forward screening;
[0158] As shown in Example 12, whether the screening of aptamers is completed or not depends on the enrichment of the library in each round of screening, that is, observing the qPCR results of the forward and reverse screening of the library corresponding to the target in each round of screening to determine the enrichment of the library. As the number of screening rounds increases, the Cq value of the forward screening of the library corresponding to the target continuously decreases and tends to be stable, the Cq value of the reverse screening continuously increases and tends to be stable, and the Cq value of the forward screening of the library corresponding to the target is earlier than the Cq value of the reverse screening (i.e., Cq value: Elution+ < Elution-, hereinafter referred to as E+ < E-). At this time, the screening can be stopped.
[0159] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described and discussed below in conjunction with the data analysis drawings of the present invention. Obviously, what is described here is only a part of the examples of the present invention, not all of the examples. All other examples obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0160] The present invention only shows the analysis data of a certain batch of 90-target screening, including but not limited to the data of other batches.
[0161] Based on the target immobilized magnetic bead method screening, using the above-mentioned aptamer automated screening method, a total of 5 rounds of screening were carried out, named R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 rounds respectively. The screening situation of each round is shown in Table 1:
[0162] Table 1 Screening situation of different rounds of 90-target aptamers:
[0163]
[0164] As shown in Example 12, the positive selection elution products (E+) and negative selection elution products (E-) of 90 targets in each round will undergo qPCR verification. Correspondingly, each target will generate Cq values for the corresponding elution products (E+ and E-); therefore, we conducted statistical analyses as follows Fig. 20 and Fig.21 : The Cq values of the positive selection elution products and negative selection elution products corresponding to 90 targets in each round were subjected to violin statistical analysis; the results showed that as the number of screening rounds increased, the positive selection Cq values of the libraries corresponding to the targets continuously decreased and tended to be stable, while the negative selection Cq values continuously increased and tended to be stable, indicating that the screening libraries were continuously enriched;
[0165] As described above, we also statistically analyzed the qPCR conditions of the positive and negative selection elution products of 90 targets in each round. Specifically, the following statistics were performed on the Cq values of the positive and negative selection elution products corresponding to each target in each round; as shown in Table 2, combined with Fig. 20 and Fig.21 , as the number of screening rounds increased, the positive selection Cq values of the libraries corresponding to the targets continuously decreased and tended to be stable, the negative selection Cq values continuously increased and tended to be stable, and the positive selection Cq values of the libraries corresponding to the targets were earlier than the negative selection Cq values (E+ < E-); among them, there were only 5 cases where the positive selection Cq values were earlier than the negative selection Cq values in the third round. This was due to the expansion and high complexity of the library before the third round of screening. After the third round of screening, the library gradually became enriched; however, generally speaking, as the screening rounds progressed, the positive selection Cq values of the libraries corresponding to the targets were earlier than the negative selection Cq values;
[0166] Table 2:
[0167]
[0168] As shown in Example 16, the single-stranded products (ssDNA) prepared from 90 targets in each round will undergo fragment analyzer analysis and verification to ensure that the band sizes of the single-stranded products prepared from each target in each round are correct and the peaks are single; as Fig. 22 and Fig.23 shown, the verification results of the single-stranded products in a certain round during the 90-target screening process are specifically presented. The results indicate that the band sizes of the single-stranded products corresponding to each target are correct and the peaks are single, and the quality of the single-stranded DNA is fine;
[0169] Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis was used to identify the nucleic acid aptamers obtained after screening: After the obtained enriched library products were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing, several sequences were selected for each target and synthesized by Genewiz (Jiangsu) Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and their affinities were detected. In subsequent tests, for some targets, 1 sequence with the strongest binding ability was determined from the 12 sequences synthesized and selected in the final 5th round, and the affinities were all at the nanomolar level; as Fig.24As shown, 37 out of 90 targets measured by SPR were successfully screened for nucleic acid aptamers, with a success rate of 41%.
[0170] The technical solution of the present invention is described above in conjunction with specific implementation methods, but it should be noted that the above descriptions are only for explaining the solution of the present invention and cannot be interpreted in any way as a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the invention. Based on the explanation here, those skilled in the art can think of other specific implementation methods or equivalent replacements of the present invention without creative work, and they will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
