Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of molecular biology, and in particular to an alcohol-free, proteinase K-free nucleic acid extraction reagent and a rapid nucleic acid extraction method. Background Technology

[0002] Nucleic acid extraction is the most fundamental step in molecular biology techniques and methods, and it also has a crucial impact on the sensitivity and accuracy of subsequent nucleic acid detection. The purpose of nucleic acid extraction is to efficiently isolate DNA or RNA from various types of biological samples. Currently, nucleic acid extraction reagents based on magnetic beads typically include a lysis buffer, at least two washing buffers, an elution buffer, and magnetic beads. Proteinase K is often added to remove interference from proteins in the sample. The addition of proteinase K introduces more impurities during nucleic acid extraction, so multiple washings are required. The washing buffer usually contains alcohols to enhance impurity removal. The entire process is cumbersome, complex, and time-consuming.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202410691882.4 discloses a rapid nucleic acid extraction reagent, a nucleic acid extraction method, and its application. The rapid nucleic acid extraction reagent includes a protein denaturant and a protein solubilizer. When preparing nucleic acids, centrifugation is sufficient, eliminating the need for washing and purification steps, making the extraction process simple and fast. However, it requires the use of proteinase K and cannot be stably stored at room temperature; it also requires a centrifuge, making automated nucleic acid extraction impossible. Chinese patent application number 202110657003.2 discloses a rapid viral genome nucleic acid extraction kit and its usage method. The kit consists of solution I, solution II, solution III, Eluent solution, and a preparation tube with a silica membrane column. It eliminates the need for phenol-chloroform or Trizol extraction; it can simultaneously extract trace amounts of DNA / RNA from any liquid; the kit has high nucleic acid extraction efficiency, superior to the Trizol method, with minimal nucleic acid loss during extraction; and the extracted DNA / RNA has high purity. However, its drawback is that the reagent contains isopropanol and ethanol, which can easily cause alcohol residues in the extraction product, inhibiting downstream applications. Extraction using silica membrane columns requires a centrifuge, which is not conducive to automated nucleic acid extraction. For example, Chinese patent application number 202410404302.9 discloses a rapid nucleic acid extraction method and kit for biological samples based on magnetic beads, solving the problem of difficult digestion of sputum samples. However, the reagent also contains alcohols, which can easily lead to alcohol residues in the extracted product, inhibiting downstream applications. The lysis time is long, washing needs to be repeated multiple times, and drying requires a long time due to the alcohol content, resulting in a multi-step and time-consuming extraction process. It is only suitable for sputum samples; for other types of samples, the extraction speed is slow.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The second objective of this invention is to provide a rapid nucleic acid extraction method.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of the present invention, the following technical solution is adopted: In a first aspect, the present invention provides an alcohol-free proteinase K-free nucleic acid extraction reagent, the extraction reagent comprising a lysis buffer comprising guanidine isothiocyanate at a molar concentration of 2-4 M, a thiol reducing agent at 1%-5% v / v, sodium isoascorbate at 0.02%-0.5% w / v, and a surfactant at 1%-10% w / v.

Elute the magnetic beads obtained in step A with elution buffer, and collect the liquid to obtain the nucleic acid extraction product.

[0013] Furthermore, the amount of the lysis buffer used is 1.5 to 2 times the sample volume; Preferably, the concentration of the magnetic bead suspension is 5~20 mg / ml; Preferably, the amount of the magnetic bead suspension is 25~150μl, more preferably 50μl; Preferably, the pyrolysis includes pyrolysis at 20~50℃ for 2~5 minutes, more preferably pyrolysis at 37℃ for 2 minutes; Preferably, the magnetic attraction time in step A is 20~60s, more preferably 30s; Preferably, the step of adding washing liquid to clean the magnetic beads includes adding washing liquid, mixing evenly, magnetically attracting the beads, and then discarding the liquid; Preferably, the amount of the washing solution used is 0.6~1.2ml, more preferably 1ml; Preferably, the time for magnetic attraction after uniform mixing is 20-60 seconds, and more preferably 30 seconds.

[0014] Furthermore, step B includes adding eluent, mixing thoroughly, incubating for elution, magnetically aspirating, and removing the liquid.

[0016] This invention provides an alcohol-free, proteinase K-free nucleic acid extraction reagent. The lysis buffer contains a thiol reducing agent and sodium isoascorbate as reducing agents, while maintaining a slightly alkaline pH. It achieves effective extraction of various sample types without the need for proteinase K or alcohols. It can be stably stored at room temperature for extended periods. In application, only one washing solution is used, requiring only one washing step, reducing the complexity of nucleic acid extraction and shortening the extraction time. Since neither the lysis buffer nor the washing solution contains alcohols, drying before nucleic acid elution is unnecessary, avoiding the risk of alcohol residue inhibiting subsequent nucleic acid amplification. This invention solves the technical problems of existing technologies where the lysis buffer composition is complex, requiring proteinase K, introducing numerous impurities, necessitating multiple washing steps, and resulting in cumbersome and time-consuming processes.

[0063] Comparative Example 22 Unlike Example 7, the washing solution is a 70% ethanol solution.

[0064] III. Nucleic Acid Extraction Examples 13-19 A rapid nucleic acid extraction method is provided, comprising plasma sample 1 from a clinically confirmed HBV patient with a concentration of 1000 IU / mL and plasma sample 2 from a clinically confirmed HBV patient with a concentration of 100 IU / mL, using the nucleic acid extraction reagents provided in Examples 6-12 respectively, and specifically following the steps below: (1) Take 400 μL of sample, add 800 μL of lysis buffer and 100 μL of silanol magnetic bead suspension with a particle size of 100~300 nm, and heat at 37°C for 2 minutes. (2) Place the centrifuge tube on the magnetic rack, let it adhere to the magnet for 30 seconds, and then discard the liquid; (3) Add 1 mL of cleaning solution to the centrifuge tube, mix by blowing or shaking, magnetically remove for 30 s, and discard the liquid; (4) Add 100 μL of elution buffer, mix by blowing or shaking, incubate at 50°C for 3 min, magnetically aspirate for 30 s, and aspirate the liquid to obtain the nucleic acid extraction product.

[0065] Example 20 Unlike Example 13, the samples were plasma samples from clinically confirmed HBV patients at two different concentrations (1000 IU / mL, 100 IU / mL), and the procedures were performed as follows: (1) Take 200 μL of sample, add 400 μL of lysis buffer and 25 μL of silanol magnetic bead suspension, and lyse at 20°C for 2 minutes; (2) Place the centrifuge tube on the magnetic rack, let it adhere to the magnet for 20 seconds, and then discard the liquid; (3) Add 0.6 mL of washing solution to the centrifuge tube, mix by blowing or shaking, magnetically remove for 20 s, and discard the liquid; (4) Add 50 μL of elution buffer, mix by blowing or shaking, heat at 80°C for 1 min, magnetically aspirate for 20 s, and aspirate the liquid to obtain the nucleic acid extraction product.

[0066] Example 21 Unlike Example 13, (1) 600 μL of sample was taken, 900 μL of lysis buffer and 100 μL of silanol magnetic bead suspension were added, and the mixture was heated at 37°C for 2 minutes. (2) Place the centrifuge tube on the magnetic rack, hold it magnetically for 60 seconds, and then discard the liquid; (3) Add 1.2 mL of washing solution to the centrifuge tube, mix by blowing or shaking, magnetically remove for 60 s, and discard the liquid; (4) Add 150 μL of elution buffer, mix by blowing or shaking, incubate at 65°C for 3 min, magnetically aspirate for 60 s, and aspirate the liquid to obtain the nucleic acid extraction product.

[0067] Comparative Examples 23-33 Unlike Example 13, the nucleic acid extraction reagents provided in Comparative Examples 11-21 were used.

[0068] Comparative Example 34 Unlike Example 20, in step (1), 200 μL of sample was taken, 400 μL of lysis buffer and 100 μL of silanol magnetic bead suspension were added, and then 30 μL of proteinase K was added. The mixture was heated at 50°C for 5 minutes.

[0069] Comparative Example 35 Unlike Example 13, in step (3), the washing solution is used to repeat the cleaning process twice.

[0070] Comparative Example 36 Unlike Example 13, the nucleic acid extraction reagent of Comparative Example 22 was used. In step (3), a washing solution containing 70% ethanol was used. After washing twice, the lid was opened and the container was air-dried for 5 minutes (to allow the residual ethanol to fully evaporate).

[0071] Experiment 1: Detection of Nucleic Acid Extraction Products Detection method: Take 50 μL of the extracted nucleic acid as a template and perform qPCR amplification according to the instructions of the Hepatitis B Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (PCR-Fluorescent Probe Method) (National Medical Device Registration Certificate No. 20253400064). The reaction program is 50℃, 2 min; 95℃, 2 min; 95℃, 10 s; 60℃, 22 s (45 cycles).

[0072] 1. The effects of different lysis buffer formulations were compared, and the results of PCR amplification detection are shown in Table 4.

[0073] Table 4

[0074] Table 4 shows that the Ct values ​​of each embodiment in both samples were lower than those in the comparative examples, indicating that the HBV virus structure was sufficiently destroyed and the nucleic acid was completely released. Compared with Example 14, Comparative Example 23 removed the thiol reducing agent, and Comparative Example 25 removed sodium isoascorbate. The target Ct values ​​of the two lysis buffer formulations were significantly delayed (>1 Ct value), indicating that the thiol reducing agent and sodium isoascorbate had a synergistic effect on nucleic acid release in this scheme. The Ct value of Comparative Example 24 increased (>1 Ct value), indicating that when the pH of the lysis buffer was acidic, the HBV virus structure was not sufficiently destroyed and the nucleic acid was not completely released, resulting in a delayed Ct value during amplification. Although the Ct values ​​of Comparative Examples 26-29 were lower than those of Comparative Examples 23-25, they were still higher than those of Example 14, indicating that the 1%~5% v / v thiol reducing agent and 0.02%~0.5% w / v sodium isoascorbate had a synergistic effect in this scheme. Different reducing agents and guanidine salts were used in Comparative Examples 30-32, but their Ct values ​​were still higher than those in Example 14. This shows that not all reducing agents and guanidine salts have the same effect on nucleic acid release. Comparative Example 33 is an existing lysis buffer containing alcohols, salt ions, metal chelating agents, and other reagents. Compared with Comparative Example 33, this scheme has a simpler composition and a lower Ct value.

[0075] 2. The effect of proteinase K on nucleic acid extraction efficiency and the results of PCR amplification detection are shown in Table 5.

[0076] Table 5

[0077] No significant difference was found; P-value > 0.05.

[0078] As shown in Table 5, the Ct value of the lysis buffer in the examples was not significantly different when it was not combined with proteinase K compared with that when it was combined with proteinase K. This indicates that the lysis buffer in the examples helps to lyse the sample and release nucleic acids, improves the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction, and can replace the auxiliary role of proteinase K in nucleic acid extraction.

[0079] 3. The results of PCR amplification detection are shown in Table 6, comparing the effects of one-step washing and two-step washing with extraction reagents, as well as washing with alcohol-containing solutions.

[0080] Table 6

[0081] Where ** indicates P < 0.01.

[0082] Compared with Example 11, Comparative Example 35 was washed twice and its Ct value did not change significantly, indicating that the reagent washing method can achieve the best effect with one wash. Comparative Example 36 used an alcohol-containing washing solution, but its Ct value increased, indicating that the alcohol-containing washing solution had a reverse effect on nucleic acid extraction.

[0083] Experiment 2: Stability of nucleic acid extraction reagents stored at room temperature Pharyngeal swab washing fluid from 5 patients clinically diagnosed with influenza A (numbered 1-5) was collected and used with nucleic acid extraction reagents stored at room temperature for 0 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months, respectively, for nucleic acid extraction. The nucleic acid extraction reagents used in this experiment were those from Examples 6-12 and Comparative Examples 11-22, respectively. The specific procedures were performed as follows: (1) Take 200 μL of sample, add 400 μL of lysis buffer and 100 μL of silanol magnetic bead suspension, and heat at 37°C for 2 minutes; (2) Place the centrifuge tube on the magnetic rack, let it adhere to the magnet for 30 seconds, and then discard the liquid; (3) Add 1 mL of cleaning solution to the centrifuge tube, mix well, magnetically aspirate for 30 s, and discard the liquid; (4) Add 100 μL of elution buffer, mix by pipetting or shaking, incubate at 80℃ for 3 min, magnetically aspirate for 30 s, and aspirate the liquid to obtain the nucleic acid extraction product. Use 50 μL of the extracted nucleic acid as a template for qPCR amplification according to the instructions of the Influenza A Virus / Influenza B Virus / Respiratory Syncytial Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (PCR-Fluorescent Probe Method) (National Medical Device Registration Certificate 20223401421). The reaction program is 50℃, 2 min; 60℃, 30 min; 95℃, 2 min; 95℃, 10 s; 60℃, 22 s (45 cycles). The PCR amplification results are shown in Table 7.

[0084] Table 7

[0085] Experimental results show that the performance of the nucleic acid extraction reagent in this invention did not change significantly after storage at room temperature for 0–12 months. This reagent exhibits good room temperature storage stability, making it more convenient for long-term storage and transportation. However, the reduced content of thiol reducing agent in Comparative Example 27 and the reduced content of sodium isoascorbate in Comparative Example 28 negatively impacted the stability of the nucleic acid extraction reagent, with Comparative Example 28 showing a significant change in stability (Ct value decreased by >1). This indicates that the synergistic effect of the thiol reducing agent and sodium isoascorbate not only promotes complete nucleic acid release but also positively contributes to the stability of the nucleic acid extraction reagent.

[0086] Example 22 Nucleic acid extraction from serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples This embodiment evaluates the nucleic acid extraction efficiency of the nucleic acid extraction reagent on serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples.
