Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of hybridization probes, and particularly relates to the application of a hybridization probe in binding to a target in a sample containing a single-stranded DNA-binding protein. Background Technology
[0002] Nucleic acid testing, with its advantages of high sensitivity and specificity, has become an important means of disease detection and screening for pathogenic microorganisms. Visualizing the target molecules during nucleic acid testing is a crucial issue that must be addressed. Currently, the most commonly used method is polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which involves heating the double-stranded target molecules repeatedly to break them down, followed by amplification under cooling and annealing conditions. However, PCR technology requires stringent experimental conditions, skilled technicians, and expensive testing equipment, which to some extent limits the widespread application of nucleic acid testing.
[0003] Nucleic acid isothermal amplification is an alternative to PCR. Its amplification is achieved under constant temperature conditions, without the need for a precisely controlled thermal cycling system. The equipment used is neither complex nor expensive. In particular, isothermal amplification technology combined with various nucleic acid visualization technologies and addressable detection technologies can achieve rapid detection of ultramultiple target molecules.
[0004] However, to achieve isothermal amplification, it is usually necessary to add proteins with single-strand binding activity to the system. This largely replaces the PCR heating and denaturation procedure, which is very beneficial for isothermal amplification reactions. However, in subsequent detection, single-stranded DNA binding proteins can also restrict the binding of hybridization probes to targets, which greatly reduces the detection sensitivity. Although removing single-stranded DNA binding proteins after isothermal amplification before detection improves the detection sensitivity, it increases the complexity of detection and operational steps, limiting the wider application of the technology.
[0005] If a probe can be developed that can efficiently hybridize with a target in the presence of single-stranded DNA-binding proteins, it will undoubtedly accelerate the detection speed of nucleic acids, improve the sensitivity of nucleic acid detection, and promote the further application of the technology.

[0068] Example
[0069] Preparation of test strips:
[0070] Sample pad preparation:
[0071] (a) The preparation of the treatment solution is shown in Table 1 below:
[0072] Table 1
[0073] Hepes (pH=8.0) 4 moles <![CDATA[Na2CO3]]> 2 moles Tween-20 0.5% PEG 10K 1 gram Purified water Adjust the volume to 100 ml
[0074] (b) Lay the fiberglass flat on the glass plate, spray the appropriate amount evenly with a measuring cylinder or syringe, and roll it flat with a roller.
[0075] (c) Lay the fiberglass flat on a stainless steel mesh and dry it overnight in an oven at 37°C;
[0076] (d) After removal, dry, seal and store in a dark place for later use.
[0077] Test strip application method:
[0078] In this experiment, both the T-line and C-line capture probes were modified with biotin. Before being sprayed onto the nitrocellulose membrane, streptavidin for membrane scrubbing was added to the capture probes so that the biotin labeled on the capture probes reacted with the streptavidin to fix the capture probes onto the nitrocellulose membrane, thus preventing them from being washed away by the liquid.
[0079] The steps of the capture probe and streptavidin modification method are as follows:
[0080] 75 μL of a 20 μM biotin-modified capture probe (Jierui Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was mixed with 25 μL of a 1 mg / mL streptavidin solution and reacted at room temperature for 2 h to generate a biotin- and streptavidin-modified capture probe. The incubated sample was centrifuged at 6000 r / min for 20 min at 4 °C to remove the precipitate and stored at 4 °C for later use.
[0081] Using a gold-spraying scribing instrument, capture probes are scribbled onto a nitrocellulose membrane to form a detection line (T line); control capture probes are scribbled on the side near the absorbent pad to form a control line (C line); the coated nitrocellulose membrane is dried overnight at 45°C and stored in a dry environment at room temperature away from light for later use.
[0082] How to assemble the test strip:
[0083] The nitrocellulose membrane, sample pad, conjugate pad, and absorbent pad are sequentially glued onto the pad plate, with an overlap of 2 mm between adjacent pads. After assembly, the pads are cut into 3.6 mm wide test strips, packaged, and stored in a dry, room-temperature environment away from light for later use.
[0084] Example 1: Simulated Target
[0085] Referring to Table 2 below, it shows 12 modified hybridization probes used in the application of the hybridization probes of the present invention to bind to targets in samples containing single-stranded DNA binding proteins, namely: probes 3 to 14 (modified by SEQ ID NO: 2), wherein the chemical modification of probes 2-8 is ribose modification; the chemical modification of probes 9-11 is phosphate backbone modification; and the chemical modification of probes 12-14 is base modification.
[0086] Table 2

[0089]
[0090] Biotin represents the biotin label.
[0091] Following the above method for preparing the test strip, incubate the probe with streptavidin, trace it onto the T line of the NC membrane, dry it, and assemble the test strip.
[0092] Add the target to the RPA system to prepare a target positive sample with a final concentration of 100 nM. Add 60 μL to the test strip and perform lateral chromatography at 30 °C for 5 min. After incubation, read the test strip using a dry fluorescence reader.
[0093] Reference Figure 1 The results showed that probes 4, 6, and 7 performed best, with fluorescence intensity approximately 19 times that of the natural probe test strips. Other non-natural probes also captured signals superior to natural probes, with fluorescence intensity 2 to 3 times that of natural probes. This indicates that in the RPA system, non-natural probes are less affected by the RPA system and are more suitable for specific target detection within the RPA system.
[0094] Example 2:
[0095] Referring to Table 3 below, this experiment uses a ribose-modified non-natural probe to detect the foodborne pathogen Escherichia coli in an RPA amplification system.

[0099] RPA reaction system: Isothermal amplification reaction system: containing 29.3 μL of buffer A, 2 μL of forward primer (10 μM), 2 μL of reverse primer (10 μM), 2.5 μL of buffer B, and 13.0 μL of sample to be tested. Negative control: 29.3 μL of buffer A, 2 μL of forward primer (10 μM), 2 μL of reverse primer (10 μM), 2.5 μL of buffer B, and 13.0 μL of ddH2O. Buffer A and buffer B were purchased from Beijing Junuode Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0100] RPA nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction: incubate at 37℃ for 4 min, vortex for 15 s, and incubate at 37℃ for 10 min. Incubate the probe with streptavidin, streak it along the T line of the NC membrane, and assemble the test strip. Use Escherichia coli DNA as the positive sample and physiological saline (with only an equal volume) as the negative sample. Amplify according to the components and amplification method in Table 3 above. Incubate the amplified product with dye to a final dye concentration of 1 μM. After incubation, add 60 μL to the test strip and perform lateral chromatography at 30℃. Read the test strip using a dry fluorescence reader after incubation.
[0101] The results are shown in Table 4 below: In detecting high-concentration targets, both natural and non-natural probes could detect positive and negative samples normally. At the same target concentration, the fluorescence signal detected by the non-natural probe was stronger, approximately 6-8 times stronger than that of the natural probe. Even at lower target concentrations, the non-natural probe could still detect a significant fluorescence signal and distinguish it well from negative samples. However, the fluorescence signal detected by the natural probe was poor and could not be effectively distinguished from negative signals. Its detection sensitivity was an order of magnitude lower than that of the non-natural probe. This indicates that in the RPA system, the non-natural probe, as a capture probe, has higher detection sensitivity and better performance than the natural probe.

Incubate at 40°C for 20 min.
[0110] Incubate the probe with streptavidin, streak it along the T line on the NC membrane, and assemble the test strip. Use Vibrio vulnificus DNA as the positive sample and physiological saline (with an equal volume added) as the negative sample. Amplify according to the components and amplification method in the table above. Incubate the amplified product with dye to a final dye concentration of 1 μM. After incubation, add 60 μL to the test strip and perform lateral chromatography at 30°C. Read the test strip using a dry fluorescence reader after incubation.
[0111] The results are shown in Table 6 below. In detecting high-concentration targets, both natural and non-natural probes could detect positive and negative samples normally. At the same target concentration, the fluorescence signal detected by the non-natural probe was stronger, approximately 7-10 times stronger than that of the natural probe. When the target concentration was low, the non-natural probe could still detect a significant fluorescence signal and distinguish it well from negative samples. However, the fluorescence signal detected by the natural probe was poor and could not be effectively distinguished from the negative signal. The detection sensitivity was an order of magnitude lower than that of the non-natural probe, indicating that in the RPA system, the non-natural probe, as a capture probe, has higher detection sensitivity and better performance than the natural probe.

The absorbance was measured at OD525-530 nm = 1.7-2.0. The sample was then centrifuged at 4-8℃. After removing the supernatant, the precipitate was reconstituted using a buffer solution with a pH of 6.5-7.0, and the reconstitution solution was adjusted to 30-40 OD. The coated colloidal gold complex was added to 2 mg / mL BSA and 10 mM Tween 20, sprayed onto a glass fiber sample pad, and dried. Natural and non-natural probes were incubated with streptavidin, respectively, and streaked along the T-line of the NC membrane. The FAM antibody was streaked along the C-line of the NC membrane. The test strips were then assembled.
[0122] Using *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* DNA as a positive sample and physiological saline (with an equal volume added) as a negative sample, amplification was performed according to the above method. The amplified product was incubated with dye to a final dye concentration of 1 μM. After incubation, 60 μL was added to the test strip and lateral chromatography was performed at 30°C. The completed incubation results are shown in the image. Figure 2 As shown, A represents a strongly positive sample detected by a natural probe using a T-line capture probe; B represents a strongly positive sample detected by a non-natural probe using a T-line capture probe; C represents a weakly positive sample detected by a natural probe using a T-line capture probe; and D represents a weakly positive sample detected by a non-natural probe using a T-line capture probe. For strongly positive samples, both natural and non-natural probes using T-line capture probes can clearly detect the sample. However, the T-line color intensity of the natural probe using a T-line capture probe is significantly lower than that of the non-natural probe using a T-line capture probe. For weakly positive samples, the test strip using the non-natural probe using a T-line can still clearly detect the signal, while the test strip using the natural probe using the C-line cannot detect the signal.
[0123] Example 5:
[0124] Referring to Table 8 below, this experiment used a ribose-modified non-natural probe to detect HBV in an RPA amplification system.
[0125] Table 8
[0126]
[0127] The system consists of the following components:
[0128] 60 mmol / L Tris (pH 7.2), 6 mmol / L dithiothreitol, 5% polyethylene glycol, 5 mmol / L ATP, 1.5 mmol / L dNTPs, 100 μmol / L phosphoinositol, 50 ng / μL single-stranded DNA-binding protein SSB (derived from myovirus phage), 10 ng / μL RecQ helicase, 50 ng / μL UvsX recombinase, 50 ng / μL UvsY recombinase, 70 ng / μL BSU DNA polymerase, 10 U RNase H, 1 U exonuclease III, 1 μmol / L primer F, 1 μmol / L primer R, 20 mmol / L magnesium acetate, 15 μL template. Incubate at 40°C for 20 min.
[0129] Microsphere activation: 100 μL of time-resolved microspheres were dispersed in 4 mL of morpholine ethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer solution at a concentration of 10 mmol. After ultrasonic dispersion, 0.2 mL of 5 mg / mL N-hydroxythiosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS) and 0.1 mL of 5 mg / mL 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) solution were added, and the mixture was shaken in a shaker at 37 °C for 2 h to activate the carboxyl groups. After centrifugation at 8000 rpm - 14000 rpm at 4 °C, the supernatant was carefully removed, 500 μL of sterile ultrapure water was added, and the mixture was ultrasonically dispersed. The above steps were repeated once.
[0130] Microsphere conjugation: Digoxin antibody was added to the activated microspheres to a final antibody concentration of 5 mg / mL. The system was then placed on a rotary mixer and incubated at 4 °C for 12 h. After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed, and 500 μL of reconstitution solution was added to dissolve the precipitate. The mixture was then sonicated and dispersed. 50 μL of blocking buffer containing 10% BSA was added and the mixture was blocked for 1 h. After centrifugation and washing, the mixture was stored at 4 °C for later use.
[0131] The coated latex ball complex was added to 2 mg / mL BSA and 10 mM Tween 20, sprayed onto a glass fiber sample pad, and dried for later use.
[0132] Natural and non-natural probes were incubated with streptavidin and streaked onto the T line of the NC membrane. Anti-digoxigenin antibody was then streaked onto the C line of the NC membrane to assemble the test strip.
[0133] Using HBV DNA as a positive sample and physiological saline as a negative sample with only an equal volume added, amplification was performed according to the above method. The amplified product was incubated with dye to a final dye concentration of 1 μM. After incubation, 60 μL was added to the test strip and lateral chromatography was performed at 30°C. The test strip was then read using a dry fluorescence reader after incubation.
[0134] The above samples were tested. Two test strips were used: one using a natural probe as the T-line capture probe, and the other using a non-natural probe as the T-line capture probe. A comparative experiment was conducted, and the results are shown in Table 9 below. Using a non-natural probe as the T-line capture probe in the test strip can reduce the detection limit of the product, thereby improving the detection sensitivity.

[0146] Natural and non-natural probes were incubated with streptavidin, respectively, and drawn on the T line of the NC membrane to assemble the test strip.
[0147] Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA was used as a positive sample, and physiological saline was added only to the same volume as a negative sample. Amplification was performed according to the above method. The amplified product was incubated with dye to a final dye concentration of 1 μM. After incubation, 60 μL was added to the test strip and lateral chromatography was performed at 30°C. The test strip was then read using a dry fluorescence reader after incubation.
[0148] The results are shown in Table 11 below. In the HDA system, non-natural labeled probes have higher detection sensitivity and better performance than natural labeled probes.

[0176] 5'-ATAAAGTGTAATGTTACTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-biotin-3';
[0177] Microfluidic chip spotting:
[0178] 100 μL of avidin-modified microspheres (300 μm particle size) from Suzhou Nanomicro Technology Co., Ltd. was placed in a clean centrifuge tube, 500 μL of sterile ultrapure water was added, the microspheres were dispersed by sonication, and centrifuged at 14000 rap / min at 4°C. The supernatant was carefully removed, and the above steps were repeated once.
[0179] Microsphere coupling: Add the cleaned microspheres to the PBS solution containing the capture probe to make the final concentration of the capture probe 1 μM. Then place the system on a rotary mixer and incubate at 4 °C for 30 min. After centrifugation, remove the supernatant, add 500 μL of reconstitution solution to dissolve the precipitate, sonicate to disperse, add 500 μL of sterile ultrapure water, sonicate to disperse, centrifuge at 14000 rpm / min at 4 °C, carefully remove the supernatant, repeat the above steps once, and store at 4 °C for later use.
[0180] The labeled microspheres were applied to a surface-modified glass slide using a scrubbing apparatus, incubated overnight in a constant temperature and humidity chamber, washed three times with PBS the next day, dried at 30 degrees Celsius for 24 hours, and then assembled into a chip for later use.
[0181] Using the target sample and amplification method described in Example 1, a dye molecule (SNAP-Cell 647-SiR, NEB) linked to bG and siloxane was added directly to the sample before amplification, with a final concentration of 1 μM. After amplification, the sample was placed on a microfluidic plate, as per reference... Figure 3 After incubation for 10 minutes, the fluorescence intensity on the microfluidic plate was read using a microfluidic plate fluorescence reader.
[0182] The results are shown in Table 14 below. Negative results showed no fluorescence at the detection line, while positive samples showed clearly detectable fluorescence at the detection line. This indicates that the complex constructed by using bG aptamer as the aptamer and linking the ligand and dye as the reporter group can perform addressable detection of the target on a microfluidic chip.

[0196] Slide markings:
[0197] Immerse the amino glass slide in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in PBS buffer (pH=7.2) and react at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction is complete, wash three times with PBS buffer, then three times with double-distilled water. Air dry at room temperature for later use. Add 1 μL of 3 μM capture probe aqueous solution and incubate overnight in a humid environment at room temperature. After incubation, wash three times with TETBS (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, 5 mM EDTA, 0.05% (v / v) Tween 20, pH=7.4) and TBS (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, pH=7.4) solutions to remove unbound oligonucleotide capture probes.
[0198] Immerse the slides in aldehyde blocking solution (0.12 g sodium borohydride dissolved in 30 mL PBS, followed by 10 mL anhydrous ethanol) for 15 min. The slides must be completely immersed in the blocking solution to block the aldehyde groups. Then, immerse the slides in 0.3 M glycine for 15 min. Rinse the slides again: rinse twice in 0.2% SDS, 2 min each time; then rinse twice with deionized water, 2 min each time.
[0199] Anhydrous triethylamine (1.5 mM) was added to 10 mL of anhydrous DMF with NHS-modified acridinium ester (NSP-SA-NHS) (1.05 mM) and DN-PEG3-NH2 ligand (1 mM). The mixture was stirred at room temperature under Ar protection. After the reaction was completed by TLC, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by reverse-phase preparative chromatography, freeze-dried, and stored at -20 °C for later use.
[0200] The sample was amplified according to the amplification method in Example 1. The amplified sample was mixed with acridinium ester-labeled ligand and incubated with a glass slide at room temperature for 30 min. After incubation, the sample was washed three times with TETBS (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, 5 mM EDTA, 0.05% (v / v) Tween 20, pH=7.4) and TBS (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris, pH=7.4) solutions. 0.1 M sodium hydroxide solution and 0.1 M hydrogen peroxide solution were added. The sample was imaged using a gel imaging system under dark conditions, and grayscale calculation was performed using ImageJ.
[0201] The results are shown in Table 15 below. In negative samples, the chip signal was very weak, similar to the background fluorescence (values were taken at the edge of the slide). Positive samples showed a clear signal at the detection site, indicating a positive result. Furthermore, the fluorescence at the chip detection point gradually increased with increasing target concentration. This demonstrates that the ligand-bound chemiluminescent molecule acridinium ester, acting as a reporter group, enables addressable detection of amplified targets on a gene chip. It also shows that the hybridization probe of this invention can be used for target binding in samples containing single-stranded DNA-binding proteins, and can also be used for the detection of ultramultiplexed targets.

[0213] 5'–AACGTGGGGATGGATTACCTCCTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT SH 3', this nucleic acid capture probe is PNA modified;
[0214] The capture probe was dispersed in a Tris-TE buffer solution at pH 7 (20 mM Tris, with the addition of 140 mmol NaCl and 5 mmol MgCl2) to prepare a 10 μM solution. 2 μL was added dropwise to the pretreated gold electrode and incubated at room temperature for 24 h. After incubation, the electrode was washed three times with 10 mM Tris-HCl at pH 7.0 and stored at 4 °C for later use.
[0215] According to the amplification method in Example 1, the amplified product was dropped onto an electrode dried with nitrogen gas and incubated for 30 min. Square wave voltammetry was then performed on the electrode within the range of -0.35 to 1.5 V. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, when a target is present, the electrode generates a significant electrochemical signal, while when no target is present, no significant electrochemical signal is detected. This indicates that the electrochemical signal group modified by the aptamer-ligand can be used as a reporter group to amplify the addressability detection of the target.
[0216] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
