Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sample detection, and in particular to a method for releasing, preserving and detecting sample nucleic acid. Background Art
[0002] Respiratory tract infection is the most common disease in people's daily lives. The pathogens that cause respiratory tract infection are usually contagious, and most hospitals have set up fever clinics for this purpose. Conventional molecular testing requires nucleic acid extraction and then PCR testing. This testing process usually takes about 2 hours, which is a long time overall. Fever patients are prone to pathogen transmission or cross-infection while waiting for the report.
[0003] In response to the above problems, technicians in this field have developed cartridge-type POCT detection instruments and reagents. Compared with the traditional magnetic bead method, cartridge-type reagents can shorten the entire detection time and reduce patient waiting time. However, the cartridge-type reagents have a high reagent cost due to their complex process, and their high testing costs have discouraged many patients. In addition, the quality of cartridge-type reagents cannot be fully controlled, and it is impossible to test every consumable. If there is a problem with the test, resampling may be required.
[0004] A release agent direct amplification method without nucleic acid extraction has also been developed. The swab sample is collected and immersed in a special release agent liquid to achieve the effect of releasing nucleic acid. However, this method is prone to false negative results. The main reason may be that this method lyses pathogens and releases nucleic acids, resulting in poor nucleic acid stability; in addition, RNA may be degraded before detection, resulting in false positives; at the same time, because this method has not been purified by nucleic acid, inhibitors collected from the patient's mouth, such as food residues, are easily introduced into the detection system, resulting in inhibition of the amplification reaction.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a method for sample preservation and nucleic acid release that is efficient, pollution-free, and does not damage nucleic acids. Summary of the invention

[0185]
[0186] According to the above results, different surfactants have certain nucleic acid release capabilities relative to DEPC-treated water. Among them, ionic surfactants have better release effects than non-ionic surfactants, and through dilution and amplification, it was found that within a certain range, the higher the concentration, the better the release effect. However, if the concentration of ionic surfactants is too high, it may affect the amplification efficiency of the PCR reaction.
[0187] Based on the above experiments, the release effects of different anionic surfactants were basically consistent. Based on availability, sodium dodecyl sulfate was selected as the main surfactant for subsequent studies.
[0188] Example 2
[0189] Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used in combination with different nonionic surfactants to test its release ability. The specific ratios are shown in Table 4.

The pseudovirus treated with DEPC water was extracted using magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction and purification reagents.
[0197] (3) Sample testing
[0198] The above samples were tested using influenza A virus / influenza B virus nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method) respectively. To prevent the surfactant concentration from being too high, the samples in the above preservation solution were diluted 10 times with water and tested simultaneously.
[0199] The results are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0206] According to the above results, when nonionic surfactants and anionic surfactants are used together, the effects are basically the same. After adding nonionic surfactants, the anionic surfactant concentration that could not detect nucleic acid release (such as 0.10% sodium dodecyl sulfate in Table 2) can detect nucleic acid release. NP-40 was used for exploration in subsequent experiments.
[0207] Example 3
[0208] Surfactants can denature proteins, so surfactants are also a type of nucleic acid protectant. Since most of the application scenarios are oropharyngeal swabs, the samples will contain various impurities in the oral cavity, which may degrade nucleic acids, especially RNA nucleic acids. Add RNA protectants to the above components with lysis function, and the concentration is configured to 2×. Collect 20 oropharyngeal swabs and mix them thoroughly in 20mL DEPC-treated water.
[0209] The prepared 2× solution was mixed with DEPC-treated water from the collected swab in a 1:1 ratio and used to dilute the extracted pseudovirus nucleic acid.
[0210] In this example, the basic formula used is 0.1% SDS, 0.2% NP-40, and specific experimental settings as shown in Table 7 are further set based on the basic formula.

At the same time, dilute the nucleic acid 10 times with DEPC-treated water. After the preservation solution with pseudovirus nucleic acid added is fully mixed, place it at room temperature for 30 minutes. Use pseudovirus nucleic acid treated with DEPC water, and follow the above operation to ensure that the nucleic acid dilution multiple is consistent.
[0219] (3) Sample testing

[0221] The results are shown in Table 8.

[0223]
[0224]
[0225] According to the above results, the addition of formamide and trehalose has little inhibitory effect on the detection system and can ensure effective amplification.
[0226] Example 4
[0227] Further studies were conducted on formamide and trehalose combined with metal ion chelators. RNA protectants were added to the above components with lysis function, and the concentration was configured to 2×. 20 oropharyngeal swabs were collected and thoroughly mixed in 20 mL of DEPC-treated water.

[0243] According to the above results, according to the comparison of Ct values, it can be seen that the Ct values of sequence numbers 14-19 in Table 10 are significantly advanced (i.e., the Ct values are low), so adding at least one of formamide or trehalose as a nucleic acid stabilizer, and then adding one of EDTA or EGTA, can not only improve the nucleic acid preservation performance of the entire system, but also reduce the inhibitory effect of high-concentration surfactants on the entire reaction system. Considering the toxicity and availability of the components, trehalose and EDTA were selected for use in subsequent experiments.
[0244] Example 5
[0245] The pH value has a certain effect on the release of pathogen nucleic acid, and the pH value also affects the amplification of the reaction system. A stable pH can ensure that the preservation solution works under various conditions. The basic formula in this embodiment is 0.1% (w / v) SDS, 0.2% (w / v) NP-40, 1% (w / v) trehalose, and 1% (v / v) 0.5M EDTA (i.e., 5mM EDTA). The specific experimental settings are shown in Table 11.

[0248] The specific operation process is as follows:
[0249] (1) Sample processing
[0250] Take influenza A virus pseudovirus and treat the pseudovirus with nuclease to ensure that the free nucleic acid in it is completely digested and only complete virus particles remain.
[0251] (2) Sample release and nucleic acid extraction
[0252] The pseudovirus digested with nuclease was diluted 20 times using the above-prepared preservation solution formula, and the pseudovirus was diluted 20 times with DEPC-treated water. The preservation solution after adding the pseudovirus was fully mixed and placed at room temperature for 5 minutes. The pseudovirus treated with DEPC water was extracted using magnetic bead nucleic acid extraction and purification reagents.
[0253] (3) Sample testing
[0254] The above samples were tested using influenza A virus / influenza B virus nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method) respectively.
[0255] The results are shown in Table 12.
[0256] Table 12
[0257]
[0258]
[0259] According to the results, the pH value between 9-12 can be effectively amplified, but when the pH is higher than 11, adding 1M Tris at 1.5% (v / v) will affect the amplification results. According to the results, it was found that the detection effect was the best when the pH was 11 and 1M Tris was added at 1.5% (v / v), so the subsequent test conditions selected the addition of 0.5% (v / v) 1M Tris (i.e. 5mM Tris) and the pH was adjusted to 11.0.
[0260] Example 6
[0261] The basic formula in this embodiment is 0.1% (w / v) SDS, 0.2% (w / v) NP-40, 1% (w / v) trehalose, 1% (v / v) 0.5M EDTA (i.e., 5mM EDTA), and 0.5% (v / v) 1M Tris, and the pH of the solution is 11.0.
[0262] Based on the above results, the release capacity of samples of common respiratory pathogens was verified, including influenza A virus, adenovirus, bronchiolitis, and human metapneumovirus.
[0263] The specific operation process is as follows:
[0264] (1) Sample processing
[0265] The sample is an oropharyngeal swab. Samples of influenza A virus, adenovirus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, and human metapneumovirus are mixed and prepared into a mixed sample.
[0266] (2) Sample release and nucleic acid extraction
[0267] The above samples were diluted 20 times with preservation solution and DEPC-treated water respectively. After being fully mixed, they were allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes. The samples diluted with DEPC-treated water were extracted using magnetic bead-based nucleic acid extraction and purification reagents.
[0268] (3) Sample testing
[0269] The above samples were tested using the influenza A virus / influenza B virus nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method), the Mycoplasma pneumoniae nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method), and the six respiratory virus nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method).
[0270] The results are shown in Table 13.
[0271] Table 13
[0272]
[0273] According to the above results, the release effect of nucleic acid of DNA pathogens is better than that of RNA, which may be due to the high pre-denaturation and denaturation temperature in the amplification process, which assists the release of DNA nucleic acid. According to the above results, the existing preservation solution has a certain release effect on both DNA and RNA.
[0274] Example 7
[0275] Compared with the purer simulated samples, real clinical samples may contain more inhibitors. Therefore, the present application adds grinding filter beads made by a special process, whose surface is modified with negatively charged hydroxyl or carboxyl groups. At the same time, the physical collision of the grinding filter beads improves the release efficiency of the sample nucleic acid.
[0276] The components of the preservation solution used in this example are 0.1% SDS, 0.2% NP-40, 1% trehalose, 1% (v / v) 0.5M EDTA, 0.5% (v / v) 1M Tris, and the pH of the solution is 11.0. Take 22mL of the preservation solution, add 11 sampling swabs and mix thoroughly. Divide the treated preservation solution into 2mL per tube, and add an equal amount of influenza A sample to each tube. Add grinding filter beads of different masses to 10 tubes and vortex mix thoroughly. The other tube does not add grinding filter beads as a control, and 200μL is taken as a sample for nucleic acid extraction. The amount of grinding filter beads added is shown in Table 14.

[0286] The results are shown in Table 15.

[0288]
[0289] According to the above results, adding grinding filter beads of different masses can improve the release efficiency of the sample.
[0290] Example 8
[0291] According to the principle of grinding filter beads, other materials of grinding filter bead analogs were selected for testing, including quartz sand, zirconium oxide beads, foam filter beads, activated carbon particles, ceramsite, molecular sieves, fiber balls and other adsorbents, and their impurity adsorption and sample release effects were evaluated after adding the preservation solution. The preservation solution used in this example is composed of 0.1% SDS, 0.2% NP-40, 1% trehalose, 1% (v / v) 0.5M EDTA, 0.5% (v / v) 1M Tris, and the pH of the solution is 11.0.

[0298] Take 18 mL of preservation solution, add 9 sampling swabs and mix thoroughly. Divide the processed preservation solution into 2 mL per tube, and add an equal amount of influenza A sample to each tube. 8 of the tubes are processed according to the above table, and the other tube does not add grinding filter beads as a control, and 200 μL is taken from it as a sample for nucleic acid extraction.
[0299] (3) Sample testing
[0300] The above samples were tested using influenza A virus / influenza B virus nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method) respectively.
[0301] The results are shown in Table 17.
[0302] Table 17
[0303]
[0304] According to the above results, grinding filter beads of different materials can effectively improve the amplification effect after the sample nucleic acid is released. Therefore, mixing and matching these materials can play a role in different scenarios in practical applications.
[0305] Example 9
[0306] After adding grinding filter beads, the amplification effect of the sample released by the preservation solution is still worse than that of the nucleic acid extracted by the magnetic bead method nucleic acid extraction reagent. Considering that chemical reagents have a greater impact on the reaction system, physical methods are used to improve the pathogen detection effect. The preservation solution components used in this embodiment are 0.1% SDS, 0.2% NP-40, 1% trehalose, 1% (v / v) 0.5M EDTA, 0.5% (v / v) 1M Tris, and the pH of the solution is 11.0. In the treatment group containing grinding filter beads, hydroxyl grinding filter beads are used for grinding filter beads with a mass of 0.8g. The parameters of the ultrasonic instrument used in this study are power 100W and frequency 35-40kHZ. The experimental scheme is shown in Table 18.

[0313] Take 10mL of preservation solution, add 5 sampling swabs and mix thoroughly. Divide the treated preservation solution into 2mL per tube, and add an equal amount of influenza A sample to each tube. Treat 4 tubes according to the above table, and use the other tube as a control, and take 200μL from it as a sample for nucleic acid extraction.
[0314] (3) Sample testing
[0315] The above samples were tested using influenza A virus / influenza B virus nucleic acid detection kit (fluorescence PCR method) respectively.
[0316] The results are shown in Table 19.
[0317] Table 19
[0318]
[0319] According to the above results, the amplification detection effect of ultrasonic treatment combined with preservation solution and grinding filter beads is basically consistent with that of magnetic bead method. However, after ultrasonic treatment, if the preservation solution does not contain grinding filter beads, the amplification effect will become worse. This may be due to the high efficiency of nucleic acid release after ultrasound, but impurities are not removed, resulting in RNA nucleic acid degradation.

[0321] After adding grinding filter beads, the amplification effect of the sample released by the preservation solution is still worse than that of the nucleic acid extracted by the magnetic bead method nucleic acid extraction reagent.

The preservation solution components used in this embodiment are 0.1% SDS, 0.2% NP-40, 1% trehalose, 1% (v / v) 0.5M EDTA, 0.5% (v / v) 1M Tris, and the pH of the solution is 11.0.

[0334] According to the above results, different ultrasonic times can improve the detection effect. Within 30-240s of ultrasound, the release rate of the samples after ultrasound reached more than 65%, but too long ultrasound time may lead to poor detection effect.

[0350] According to the above results, the amplification detection effect of heating treatment combined with preservation solution and grinding filter beads is basically consistent with the magnetic bead method. However, after heating, if the preservation solution does not contain grinding filter beads, the amplification effect will become worse. This may be due to the high efficiency of nucleic acid release after heating, but impurities are not removed, resulting in RNA nucleic acid degradation.

[0360] Take 20mL of preservation solution, add 10 sampling swabs and mix thoroughly. Divide the treated preservation solution into 2mL tubes and add an equal amount of influenza A sample to each tube. Add grinding beads of different masses to 9 tubes and vortex thoroughly to mix.

[0365]
[0366] According to the above results, different heating times and temperatures can improve the detection effect. When heated at 75-95°C for 1-3 minutes, the sample release rate reaches more than 80%.
[0367] Therefore, in actual use, combining ultrasound or heating can further improve the nucleic acid release efficiency of this method and improve the detection sensitivity of the entire detection system.
[0368] Comparative Example 1
[0369] To evaluate the reliability of this test program in hospital outpatient testing, the differences in test results between the preservation solution alone, the preservation solution + grinding filter beads, and the preservation solution + grinding filter beads plus ultrasonic treatment and magnetic bead method nucleic acid extraction were compared.

[0384]
[0385] According to the above results, the detection results using preservation solution alone are the worst, and the total consistency rate with the magnetic bead method is only 87.5%; using preservation solution with grinding filter beads, the total consistency rate with the magnetic bead method can reach 93.75%; using preservation solution with grinding filter beads and additional ultrasonic treatment can increase the total consistency rate with the magnetic bead method to 98.75%.

The test results are better than those using only the preservation solution, but worse than the preservation solution combined with grinding filter beads and the preservation solution combined with grinding filter beads and additional ultrasonic treatment.
[0402] discuss
[0403] In addition to having an excellent nucleic acid release rate, the method of the present invention has a short sample processing time. Compared with the magnetic bead method, the method of the present invention can be detected by a nucleic acid detection kit after the sample is added to the preservation solution and placed for 5 minutes, while the magnetic bead method requires steps such as magnetic bead adsorption, magnetic bead washing, and elution, which takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
