Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical research technology, and in particular relates to a device and method for pre-processing of OCT-embedded renal biopsy tissue for nucleic acid extraction. Background Art

[0002] Percutaneous renal biopsy (RB) is an important technique for the diagnosis, treatment and research of kidney diseases. The renal tissue obtained by puncture of renal biopsy is further determined by light microscopy, electron microscopy and immunopathology. The renal biopsy tissue is embedded in paraffin and sliced ​​for light microscopy; fixed in glutaraldehyde fixative for electron microscopy; and embedded in OCT to make frozen sections for immunopathology. Usually, frozen sections of OCT-embedded renal biopsy tissue are used for clinical diagnosis, histopathology and molecular biology research. The remaining OCT-embedded renal biopsy tissue after frozen sectioning can be used for sample storage, providing sample resources for downstream scientific research, especially for genome sequencing analysis. OCT compound is an embedding medium widely used for long-term cryopreservation of different tissues. It is a viscous aqueous solution at room temperature and is mainly composed of polyethylene glycol, benzalkonium chloride, antifungal agent and resin polyvinyl alcohol. In order to make full use of the value of such stored sample resources and extract nucleic acids of good quality, appropriate pretreatment operations should be taken to remove the OCT embedding agent outside the tissue.

[0003] A method for re-making paraffin sections from the remaining frozen tissue of a renal biopsy by immunofluorescence, publication number CN 111879590A, provides a method for re-making paraffin sections from the remaining frozen tissue of a renal biopsy by immunofluorescence, which uses a PBS buffer solution to quickly thaw the remaining renal tissue after frozen sections and dissolve the OCT glue, and then re-makes paraffin sections, and uses the paraffin sections for special staining and light microscopy to make up for the situation where there are no glomeruli or too few glomeruli in the light microscopy. In this method, the frozen renal tissue stored in a -80°C ultra-low temperature refrigerator is taken out and placed in a PBS buffer solution at room temperature to thaw the frozen renal tissue and fully dissolve the OCT glue. This process is prone to degradation of nucleic acid extracted from tissues, which is not conducive to extracting RNA from such samples for gene sequencing analysis. To this end, we explored a more suitable method for pretreatment of nucleic acid extraction from OCT-embedded renal biopsy tissue through comparative experiments, and designed a device for pretreatment of nucleic acid extraction from OCT-embedded renal biopsy tissue based on this method, which avoids the melting of tissue samples during pretreatment of nucleic acid extraction from such samples and causes nucleic acid degradation, thereby facilitating the extraction of good-quality nucleic acids for downstream research.
