Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical reagent kit technology, specifically a combined detection kit for microRNA and alpha-fetoprotein. Background Technology
[0002] MicroRNAs have been extensively studied as tumor markers. In human serum, miR-21, miR-125a, and miR-150 are potential diagnostic markers for liver disease or liver cancer [1-3]. Extracellular vesicles are widely distributed in serum, and microRNAs are not degraded under the protection of the extracellular vesicle membrane [4]. The expression level of miR-16 in the total microRNA profile of serum exosomal tissues is intermediate, and it is stably expressed in healthy individuals, those with chronic hepatitis B, those with hepatitis B cirrhosis, and those with liver cancer, without changing due to disease status. Therefore, miR-16 can serve as a stable internal reference for the quantification of extracellular vesicle microRNAs in liver cancer patients. α1-AFP is a glycosylated albumin with a molecular weight of 69 kDa derived from the yolk sac, undifferentiated hepatocytes, and the fetal gastrointestinal tract [5]. AFP levels are elevated in 70-95% of patients with primary liver cancer. AFP levels are also elevated to some extent in metastatic liver cancer and extrahepatic tumors. AFP can be detected in the serum of patients with acute and chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis, generally at only (50~200) ng / mL, but in a few patients it can temporarily rise to over 400 ng / mL.56 A systematic comparison of the comprehensive changes in the expression levels of microRNAs in serum extracellular vesicles between patients with and without liver cancer revealed that the combined detection of alpha-fetoprotein with miR-21, miR-125a, and miR-150 in serum extracellular vesicles significantly improves the specificity of detection and has higher diagnostic value than traditional tumor markers.
[0003] Currently, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), as a single serum biomarker for liver cancer, has limited sensitivity and specificity, exhibiting high false negative and false positive rates. Although some studies indicate that specific microRNAs have the potential to serve as novel biomarkers, the diagnostic value of single microRNAs is insufficient, and there is a lack of stable clinically applicable detection systems that effectively integrate multiple microRNAs with AFP. Existing technologies (such as qPCR or chemiluminescence alone) cannot provide a unified, multi-indicator combined solution, resulting in insufficient accuracy in the auxiliary diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma, especially early-stage liver cancer.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, specific primers and probes are used to specifically identify and amplify target microRNAs (miR-21, miR-125a, miR-150) and an internal control microRNA (miR-16). Reverse transcriptase and polymerase are used to reverse transcribe the microRNAs into cDNA and perform PCR amplification. Buffer and dNTPs provide a suitable reaction environment and substrate. Antibody-coated magnetic microparticles capture AFP in the sample. ALP-labeled anti-AFP antibody binds to the captured AFP, forming a sandwich complex, and generates a signal through an enzymatic reaction. A fluorescence signal is generated under ALP catalysis, and its intensity is proportional to the AFP concentration. Calibrators are used to establish a standard curve and quantify the AFP concentration. By providing an integrated kit, three specific microRNAs (miR-21, miR-125a, miR-150) in serum extracellular vesicles, a stable internal control (miR-16), and serum AFP concentration are analyzed together to generate a comprehensive score (E-value), which significantly improves the sensitivity and specificity of HCC auxiliary diagnosis and solves the problem of poor diagnostic performance of single indicators.

[0027] Quality control requirements: Blank control: Ct value > 39 or no value.

[0038] The instrument automatically performs the following steps: adding antibody-coated magnetic beads, enzyme-labeled antibodies, washing, adding luminescent substrate, and detecting the luminescent signal.
[0039] The instrument automatically generates or verifies the standard curve for this test based on the concentration and corresponding luminescence value of the two standards.
[0040] Frequency: After the initial calibration, recalibration is required at least once every 4 weeks.
[0041] Step 7: Sample Testing Sample loading: Place no less than 100 μL of serum sample, positive control, negative control and blank control into the sample slot of the instrument respectively.
[0042] Run the test: Select the "Sample Detection" program in the instrument software and start it.
[0043] Automated process: The instrument automatically completes the following reaction steps: Step A (Incubation): Take the sample, the magnetic bead suspension coated with antibody and the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) labeled antibody, mix and incubate to form a sandwich complex of "magnetic bead-antibody-antigen (AFP)-enzyme-labeled antibody".

[0050] Step 8: Joint Analysis and Result Determination Data input: Input the four Ct values obtained in step 4 and the AFP concentration value obtained in step 7 into the dedicated "MicroRNA and Alpha-fetoprotein Combined Analysis Software".
[0051] Software calculation: The software calculates the overall score (E-score) based on the built-in algorithm.
[0052] Result determination: If the E value is ≥ 0.50, it is considered positive.
[0053] If the E value is less than 0.50, it is considered negative.
[0054] Final report: This "positive" or "negative" result is an auxiliary diagnostic suggestion based on the combined analysis of multiple indicators, and is provided for clinicians' reference. It needs to be combined with other examinations such as imaging to make a comprehensive judgment.
[0055] The software for combined analysis of microRNA and alpha-fetoprotein has the following built-in algorithm: Overall risk score (E-score) = 1 / (1 + e^(-Z)) Where e is the natural constant, and Z is a linear combination, calculated as follows: Z = β0 + β1 × f(AFP) + β2 × g(miRNA Ct value) The following is a detailed breakdown of the meaning and calculation method of each part of the formula: Step 1: Data Preprocessing and Transformation Because AFP concentration and Ct value have different dimensions and their distribution may be skewed, they must be converted first.
[0056] 1. AFP concentration conversion: Usually, the logarithm is taken to approximate a normal distribution.
[0057] f(AFP) = ln(AFP concentration + 1) ("+1" is to avoid the fact that an AFP concentration of 0 has no mathematical meaning) 2. miRNA Ct value conversion: Ct values need to be converted to relative expression levels first. Assume you are testing three miRNAs (e.g., miR-21, miR-122, miR-223).
[0058] First, calculate the ΔCt value of each miRNA relative to the internal reference gene (e.g., U6): ΔCt_miR-21 = Ct(miR-21) - Ct(U6) Then, convert to relative expression level (2^-ΔCt): g(miR-21) = -ΔCt_miR-21 Step 2: Determine the coefficients (β value) We obtained the following logistic regression results: • β0 (intercept) = -5.0 • β1 (AFP coefficient) = 0.8 • β2 (coefficient of miR-21) = 1.2 • β3 (coefficient of miR-122) = 0.9 • β4 (coefficient of miR-223) = -1.1 (the negative sign indicates that this indicator is a protective factor, and a high expression level means a low risk) Step 3: Calculate the Z value Substitute a patient's specific test value into the input. For example: · AFP = 25 ng / mL → f(AFP) = ln(25+1) ≈ 3.26 ·miR-21: ΔCt = 2.5 → g(miR-21) = -2.5 ·miR-122: ΔCt = 1.8 → g(miR-122) = -1.8 ·miR-223: ΔCt = 3.0 → g(miR-223) = -3.0 Therefore, Z = (-5.0) + 0.8×3.26 + 1.2×(-2.5) + 0.9×(-1.8) + (-1.1)×(-3.0) = -5.0 + 2.61 - 3.0 - 1.62 + 3.3 = -3.71 Step 4: Calculate the final comprehensive risk score Substitute the Z value into the core formula: Overall risk score = 1 / (1 + e^(-(-3.71))) = 1 / (1 + e^(3.71)) ≈ 1 / (1 + 40.9) ≈ 0.024 This result (0.024) is a probability value between 0 and 1, which can be interpreted as the probability that the sample is positive (such as having liver cancer) is approximately 2.4%.
[0059] In a study involving 884 participants conducted at 5 clinical trial sites, this kit was used to detect the virus, with clinical diagnostic criteria as the gold standard.
[0060] Clinical sensitivity: 94.27% Clinical specificity: 91.61% Precision: Intra-batch CV for Reagent I < 5.0%; Intra-batch CV for Reagent II ≤ 8.0%.
[0061] Detection limits: 20 copies / μL for Reagent I; 0.8 ng / mL for Reagent II.
[0062] Linearity: For reagent II, r ≥ 0.9900 in the range of [0.8, 1200] ng / mL.
[0063] Interference resistance: The test results are unaffected by the presence of interfering substances such as bilirubin, hemoglobin, triglycerides, rheumatoid factor, and commonly used drugs at concentrations listed in the instructions.
[0064] Configuration method of this application: Preparation of Reagent I: Prepare a mixture containing reverse transcriptase, reverse transcription buffer, and four separate amplification detection solutions (for miR-21, miR-125a, miR-150, and miR-16, respectively). Weigh each liquid component according to the formula, dissolve it in nuclease-free water, adjust the pH, and dispense.
[0065] Preparation of Reagent II: Prepare antibody-coated magnetic microparticle suspensions, ALP-labeled antibody solutions, AFP calibrator solutions of different concentrations, and chemiluminescent substrate solutions. The calibrators are usually lyophilized and should be reconstituted with calibrator diluent before use.
[0066] Process parameters: The preparation process must be carried out in a sterile, nuclease-free environment; enzymes and antibodies are usually operated in a cold environment of 2-8℃; the freeze-drying process has specific temperature, vacuum degree and time parameters.
[0067] In this application, specific primers and probes are used to specifically recognize and amplify target microRNAs (miR-21, miR-125a, miR-150) and internal control microRNAs (miR-16). Reverse transcriptase and polymerase are used to reverse transcribe the microRNAs into cDNA and perform PCR amplification. Buffer and dNTPs provide a suitable reaction environment and substrate. Antibody-coated magnetic microparticles capture AFP in the sample. ALP-labeled anti-AFP antibodies bind to the captured AFP, forming a sandwich complex, and generate a signal through an enzymatic reaction. The chemiluminescent substrate generates a fluorescent signal under ALP catalysis, the intensity of which is proportional to the AFP concentration. Calibrators are used to establish a standard curve and quantify the AFP concentration.
