Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biological detection, and specifically relates to a primer, a kit and a detection method for detecting ALDH2 gene mutation, and efficiently distinguishes ALDH2 wild type and mutant type based on RPA and CRISPR-Cas12a system. Background Art

[0002] Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) is known as a nucleic acid detection technology that can replace PCR. Under 37-42°C, the protein-DNA complex formed by the combination of the recombinase that can bind to single-stranded nucleic acid (oligonucleotide primer) and the primer searches for homologous sequences in double-stranded DNA to exchange chains. DNA synthesis is initiated under the action of the strand displacement DNA polymerase, and then the replaced DNA chain binds to the single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) to prevent further replacement. The RPA system can achieve detectable levels of amplification products within ten minutes. CRISPR / Cas12a (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats crispr associated gene) is an endonuclease that can achieve DNA cutting function under the guidance of specific RNA. It can be used for genome editing. It also has non-specific collateral cutting activity that can achieve the cutting of fluorescent probes to produce fluorescence. It can be used as a tool for in vitro detection of biological molecules under room temperature conditions.

[0003] Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a key enzyme in the metabolic pathway of active aldehydes in vivo and in vitro. It belongs to the acetaldehyde dehydrogenase family. Its main functions include metabolizing active aldehydes in the body: acetaldehyde, acrolein, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (DOPAL), malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), etc. Alcohol is metabolized to acetaldehyde in the liver and then converted into acetic acid. Acetaldehyde has hepatotoxicity and muscle toxicity, and increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and cancer.

[0004] The speed of acetaldehyde removal in the body mainly depends on the activity of ALDH2 enzyme. Its encoding gene ALDH2 gene is polymorphic and prone to gene mutation. The glutamic acid at the 487th position of the ALDH2 amino acid sequence is replaced by lysine, resulting in a significant loss of catalytic activity of the synthesized acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The wild-type gene encoding the normal enzyme is ALDH2*1, and the point mutation of c.1510G>C, the mutant gene encoding the inactivated enzyme (named ALDH2*2, is one of the most common gene mutations in humans. It is estimated that 560 million people worldwide (about 8% of the world's population) carry this gene, of which about 35% to 45% are in Southeast Asian populations. The mutation at this site affects the activity of the enzymes encoded by ALDH2, including acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, nitroesterase, etc.

[0005] Nitroglycerin is widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Nitrolipase is used to denitrate nitroglycerin to produce nitric oxide, which plays a role in dilating blood vessels. When ALDH2*2 mutation exists, the effect of nitrolipase is severely reduced, thereby affecting the efficacy of nitroglycerin. The detection of this mutation site provides clues for the patient's related treatment and reduces ineffective medication.

[0006] At present, the main detection technology for this mutation is fluorescent PCR, which has good accuracy, but has disadvantages such as long detection time, high equipment requirements, and complex operation. Compared with the traditional PCR method, the RPA combined with CRISPR nucleic acid detection system has a rapid response, low equipment requirements, and simple operation.

[0007] However, due to the fault tolerance of the CRISPR system, that is, when there are a few mismatched bases in the target sequence, the guide RNA can still bind to the mutation point sequence, causing the enzyme cutting effect of the CRISPR system. Therefore, the guide RNA that matches the wild strain sequence can bind to the mutation point sequence, and vice versa. The design of conventional guide RNA cannot distinguish between wild strain sequences and mutant sequences. In order to solve this problem, the inventor innovatively used the fault tolerance of CRISPR to introduce mismatched guide RNA. For sequences with single-base mutations, the guide RNA can still bind to the mutant sequence by adding one more mismatch point; but since there are two mismatched points between the mismatched guide RNA and the wild strain sequence, the binding efficiency is greatly reduced, making it impossible to activate the enzyme cutting effect of the CRISPR system normally and unable to generate fluorescent signals. By screening mismatched guide RNA for ALDH2 mutation point detection, the inventor can provide fast and effective detection clues for nitroglycerin medication guidance when primary medical care or experimental equipment is insufficient, and can also indicate the risk of diseases such as Alzheimer's, while reminding people with ALDH2 mutation points to drink moderately. Summary of the invention

It is found for the first time that in the design of crRNA specific for the c.1510G>C mutation point of the ALDH2*2 gene, after adding a small amount of mismatched bases, the targeted recognition function and collateral cleavage activity of CRISPRCas12a are used to recognize the DNA site and cut the signal reporter molecule, so that the wild type and mutant types of ALDH2 can be efficiently distinguished.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] Example 1. Screening of ALDH2 mutant gene crRNA

[0037] 1.1 Reference sequence synthesis and amplification

[0038] The wild-type ALDH2 gene reference sequence comes from the NCBI website, NC_000012.12:111803796-111804368; the mutant is at c.1510, where the base guanine G is replaced by cytosine C. The backbone of the reference sequence plasmid is PUC19, and the recombinant plasmid is synthesized by Shanghai Shenggong Company and introduced into TOP10 Escherichia coli. The ALDH2 plasmid TOP10 strain was inoculated on an ampicillin LB agar plate and cultured overnight at 37°C incubator for 20 hours. Pick a single clone colony and inoculate it into 100μg / mL ampicillin LB liquid culture medium for amplification culture. After 10-14 hours, collect the bacteria and extract the plasmid according to the instructions of the plasmid extraction kit (Kangwei, CW209S).

[0039] 1.2 crRNA sequence design

[0040] The Cas protein selected in this experiment is 12a. According to its PAM (TTTN) characteristics, 7 crRNAs were selected for the detection of the ALDH2*2 gene c.1510G>C mutation point-specific gene (Table 1). Cas12a detection has a certain fault tolerance, that is, when there are a small number of mismatched bases in crRNA, the enzymatic activity of Cas12a can still be stimulated. Based on this, we added a small number of mismatched bases to the design of some crRNAs to distinguish between the ALDH2 wild type and the ALDH2*2 gene c.1510G>C mutant type, namely crRNA-mm1, crRNA-mm2, crRNA-mm3, crRNA-ww1, and crRNA-ww2 described in the table below. The reaction principle is as follows Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen from the upper figure that the normal mutant crRNA can match the sequence without mutation point and completely match the sequence with mutation point; it can be seen from the lower figure that the mutant crRNA with a mismatch point only matches the sequence with mutation point and cannot match the sequence without mutation point.

[0041] The crRNA used in this experiment was synthesized by General Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0044] 1.3 CRISPR Cas12a detection

[0045] The CRISPRCas12a reaction system is as follows: the final concentration is 33nM LbaCas12a (NEBiolabs), 3uL Nebbuffer 2.1 (NEBiolabs), the final concentration is 33nM crRNA, the final concentration is 50nM F-Q fluorescence quenching probe (FAM-TTATT-Quencher), the final concentration is 8nM reference plasmid, DEPC water is supplemented to a final volume of 30uL, and the reaction is carried out in a transparent tube at 37°C for 60 minutes, and the fluorescence intensity is detected by a fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument (Tianlong Gentier 96R). A total of 16 groups are set up, each with 3 replicate wells of the same configuration, and each group is composed of different reference plasmid and crRNA sequence combinations (the selection of crRNA and reference plasmid in each group is shown in Table 2), among which the Neg group contains only reference plasmids and no crRNA.

[0046] Table 2: Experimental group design (numbers refer to groups)

[0047]

[0048] The reaction results are as follows Figure 1As shown, the X-axis represents the fluorescence intensity, the vertical axis represents the crRNA group, the left side is the detection result of the wild-type sequence, and the right side is the detection result of the mutant sequence, and the sequence concentration is 100ng / uL. Among them, crRNA-WT is a guide RNA that completely matches the wild-type sequence. The results show that it can produce high-intensity fluorescence with the wild-type sequence and obvious fluorescence with the mutant sequence (>750); crRNA-ww1 and ww2 are guide RNAs with one mismatch with the wild-type sequence and two mismatches with the mutant sequence. The results show that there is no significant fluorescence with the wild-type and mutant sequences (<750); crRNA-MU is a guide RNA that completely matches the mutant sequence. The results show that it can produce high-intensity fluorescence with the mutant sequence and obvious fluorescence with the wild-type sequence (>800 ); crRNA-mm1, mm2, and mm3 are guide RNAs with one mismatch with the mutant sequence and two mismatches with the wild type. The results showed that mm2 produced obvious fluorescence with the mutant and fluorescence with the wild type, and mm3 had significant fluorescence with both the wild type and mutant sequences (<750); mm1 produced obvious fluorescence with the mutant (mean 3756.7) and insignificant fluorescence with the wild type (mean 681.3), which can be used to distinguish between the wild type and ALDH2*2 mutations; when there was no crRNA, neither the wild type sequence nor the mutant sequence had obvious fluorescence.

[0049] It can be seen that crRNA-mm1 has a higher recognition effect on ALDH2 mutant sequences, while the fluorescence detection result for ALDH2 wild-type sequences is low. At the same time, other crRNA sequences do not have a significant distinguishing effect on ALDH2 wild-type and ALDH2*2 gene c.1510G>C mutant, so the present invention selects crRNA-mm1 as a feasible crRNA sequence for the experiment of identifying ALDH2 mutant genes.

[0050] Example 2. Screening of optimal RPA primers for crRNA

[0051] RPA primer design According to the design principle, three upstream primers and three downstream primers were selected on the NC_000012.12:111803796-111804368 sequence, and two of them were matched to form 9 experimental groups of RPA reaction systems (see Table 4 for details). The most suitable RPA primers were selected by performing CRISPRCas12a detection on the RPA reaction products and comparing the fluorescence intensity.

[0052] In this embodiment, the RPA amplification system is as follows: Rehydration buffer dissolves Lyophilized powder, add 2.4uL 10mM RPA upstream primer, 2.4uL 10mM RPA downstream primer; the RPA upstream primer and RPA downstream primer are shown in Table 3, mix well, add reference sequence plasmid to a final concentration of 0.5nM; add 2.5ul MgOAc solution, add DEPC water to 50uL, heat in a 37℃ metal bath to start amplification for 10 minutes, and obtain the amplification product;

After reacting in a transparent tube at 37°C for 60 minutes, the fluorescence intensity was detected using a fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument (CFX96, BioRad). A total of 9 experimental groups and 1 blank control group were set as described above, for a total of 10 groups (as shown in Table 4), each group was set with 3 replicate wells (same setting to meet statistical requirements), each group was amplified by different RPA primers, and the Neg group was a primer-free RPA product.

Add 2uL of the RPA amplification product from the previous step and add DEPC water to 30uL. After reacting in a transparent tube at 37°C for 60 minutes, the fluorescence intensity was detected using a fluorescent quantitative PCR instrument (CFX96, BioRad).

[0068] The true result of the sample ALDH2 gene sequence was obtained by first-generation sequencing. Specifically, the DNA obtained in step 3.1 was subjected to PCR amplification, the PCR primers were [F (SEQ ID NO: 17) -GGTCCTGGGAGTGTAACCCA; R (SEQ ID NO: 18) -CAGGCCTTGGCGTATAACGA], the kit was the Vazyme C112 PCR amplification kit, the reaction system was configured according to the kit instructions, the reaction procedure was 95 degrees for 3 minutes of pre-denaturation, three-stage cycle: 95 degrees for 15 seconds, 56 degrees for 15 seconds, 72 degrees for 15 seconds, a total of 25 cycles, and 72 degrees for 5 minutes of extension. The PCR product was entrusted to Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for first-generation sequencing.

Compared with the first-generation sequencing results, the accuracy of the present invention is 98.15%.

[0069] 3.5 Test strips for CRISPR test result output

[0070] In order to facilitate the rapid output of test results, we use colloidal gold test strips for result presentation. The experimental process is: oral epithelial cell collection, DNA extraction, RPA amplification, and CRISPRCas12a test strip method. The first three processes are as described above. The CRISPRCas12a test strip method system includes:

Interpret the results according to the test strip instructions. Figure 4 The results of ALDH2 mutant and ALDH2 wild-type detection. Both quality control lines have bands, while the detection line only shows bands for the mutant type.

[0072] Experimental results of Examples 1-3:

[0073] 1. As Figure 1 As shown, the crRNA-WT that completely matches the wild strain can bind to both the wild strain sequence and the mutant strain sequence at the same time, stimulating enzymatic activity, and cannot distinguish between the two. The crRNA-MT that completely matches the mutant strain can bind to both the mutant strain sequence and the wild strain sequence at the same time, and cannot distinguish between the two. In the crRNA design of the present application, a small amount of mismatched bases are added to distinguish between the wild type and mutant types of ALDH2; the results showed that crRNA-Mm1 reacted significantly with the mutant strain and had no obvious reaction with the wild strain. This crRNA can clearly distinguish between the wild strain and the mutant strain. Therefore, it was used for subsequent detection;
