Abstract
Description
A conditional multiplex QPCR method TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and specifically relates to a conditional multiplex QPCR method, which can specifically detect the expression, mutation, methylation and other states of multiple target genes under a single signaling pathway and application. BACKGROUND
[0002] QPCR (Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction), also known as real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, is a technique for detecting and quantifying DNA molecules. It is an improvement of PCR technology, which quantifies the initial amount of target DNA by monitoring the increase of DNA quantity in PCR reaction in real time. The principle of QPCR is based on the characteristics of fluorescent probes or DNA dyes that bind to PCR products and emit fluorescent signals. QPCR technology is widely used in the fields of molecular biology, medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, etc. It has the advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity and high speed, and can accurately detect and quantify trace amounts of DNA, so it plays an important role in gene expression analysis, gene mutation detection, pathogen detection, etc.
[0003] Multiplex QPCR is a technique for detecting and quantifying multiple target DNA sequences in the same reaction. It is based on the principle of QPCR, but by introducing multiple different fluorescent probes or DNA dyes, it allows simultaneous monitoring of the amplification of multiple target sequences. Multiplex QPCR is commonly used in the study of complex biological processes, such as gene expression regulation, disease diagnosis, environmental microbiology, etc. In multiplex QPCR, due to the simultaneous amplification of multiple target sequences, signal superposition or cross-reaction may occur, reducing the specificity and sensitivity of QPCR, ultimately affecting the accuracy and interpretation of data.
[0004] DNA denaturation temperature (Tm value) refers to the temperature at which DNA double strands begin to unravel under specific conditions. This temperature is crucial for the stability of DNA double strands. In QPCR reactions, a denaturation step is usually performed at high temperature (usually 95 degrees Celsius) to ensure that the double-stranded structure of the target DNA sequence is completely unraveled, so that the primer can bind to the single-stranded template of the target sequence. Therefore, the melting temperature of different Tm values of DNA double strands can be different, so that different DNA double strands can be melted at different temperatures. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application provides a conditional multiplex QPCR method, which uses conditional primers to improve the targeting of the primers for amplifying the target gene, and uses a specific probe combined with the template strand of the target gene to improve the specificity of the amplification signal of the target gene.
[0006] The specific technical solutions of the present application are as follows:
[0007] A conditional multiplex QPCR method, wherein the amplification system for each DNA sample includes a set of conditional primers 1 and 2, the forward conditional primers 1 and 2 are combined with the template strand, the reverse conditional primers 1 and 2 are combined with the complementary strand of the template strand, the conditional primer 2 is located downstream of the conditional primer 1, the 5' end of the conditional primer 2 is connected to the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected, and the amplification primer is not combined with the upstream sequence of the conditional primer 2 and the template strand.
[0008] The QPCR includes program 1, which obtains the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected conditionally:
[0009] 1) At the denaturation temperature, the DNA sample is denatured to obtain a DNA single-stranded template;
[0010] 2) At the annealing temperature, the conditional primers 1 and 2 are combined with the DNA single-stranded template;
[0011] 3) At the extension temperature, the conditional primer 1 is extended to the conditional primer 2 for amplification, and when the extension reaches the 5' end of the conditional primer 2, the DNA polymerase cuts the 5' end of the conditional primer 2 to release the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected;
[0012] Program 2, amplifying the DNA fragment to be detected:
[0013] 1) At the denaturation temperature, the DNA sample (including the amplification product of program 1) is denatured to obtain a DNA single-stranded template;
[0014] 2) If the DNA sample contains the sequence of the DNA fragment to be detected, the amplification primer is combined with the DNA single-stranded template at the annealing temperature (at this annealing temperature, the conditional primers 1 and 2 in the system are combined with the amplification product of the DNA sample of program 1);
[0015] 3) at the extension temperature, the extension of the amplification primer, and the amplification of the DNA fragment to be detected (at the extension temperature, the amplification product of the conditional primer 1 and 2 on the program 1 DNA sample is further amplified).
[0016] The above technical solution only meets the following conditions: (1) the conditional primer 1 and 2 are both combined with the template strand; (2) the conditional primer 1 is located upstream of the conditional primer 2; (3) the exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase cuts the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected at the 5' end of the conditional primer 2 into the amplification system. Since the DNA template and the DNA fragment to be detected are in an upstream and downstream relationship of the same sequence (i.e., the same DNA sample), the method reduces the possibility of unnecessary pairing of the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected with other different DNA samples, and improves the specificity of the amplification reaction.
[0017] Further, the QPCR amplification system of the present application further includes an artificial template and a Taqman probe for each DNA fragment to be detected, the Taqman probe is labeled with a reporter group at the 5' end and a quencher group at the 3' end, and the artificial template contains the sequence of the DNA fragment to be detected, and the Taqman probe is specifically paired with the upstream sequence of the sequence of the DNA fragment to be detected of the artificial template;
[0018] The QPCR further comprises program 3, which conditionally generates a detection signal:
[0019] 1) at the denaturation temperature, the obtained DNA fragment to be detected is denatured to obtain a single-stranded DNA fragment to be detected;
[0020] 2) at the annealing temperature, the single-stranded DNA fragment to be detected (as a primer) is combined with the artificial template;
[0021] 3) at the extension temperature, the artificial template strand is amplified by the 3' end of the single-stranded DNA fragment to be detected, and when the extension reaches the 5' end of the fluorescent probe, the DNA polymerase cuts and hydrolyzes the probe, releases the reporter gene, and detects the fluorescent signal.
[0022] In the above technical solution, the Taqman probe is specifically paired with the upstream sequence of the sequence of the DNA fragment to be detected of the artificial template, and only when the single-stranded DNA fragment to be detected is annealed with the artificial template and extended to the 5' end of the Taqman probe, the exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase hydrolyzes the fluorescent reporter gene of the Taqman probe to generate a fluorescent signal. This method avoids the generation of non-specific fluorescent signals and interference with the detection results, making the detection results more accurate, and also improves the specificity of the method, which can be applied to multiple QPCR with a large number of samples.
[0023] When the method is applied to multiple samples, all DNA samples can be divided into N groups, N is an integer from 2 to 7, all DNA samples in procedure 1 and / or procedure 2 use the same denaturation temperature, different groups of DNA samples use different annealing temperatures, and N annealing temperature steps with a temperature difference of 3-4℃ are formed between different groups.
[0024] In procedure 1 and / or procedure 2, N groups of DNA samples are denatured at a uniform denaturation temperature, and the single strands of N groups of DNA samples are annealed in order from high to low at the annealing temperature steps, combined with primers, and then extended and amplified at a uniform extension temperature.
[0025] When the method is applied to multiple samples, all DNA samples can be divided into N groups, N is an integer from 2 to 7, all DNA samples in procedure 1 and / or procedure 2 use the same denaturation temperature, different groups of DNA samples use different annealing temperatures, and N annealing temperature steps with a temperature difference of 3-4℃ are formed between different groups.
[0026] Alternatively, in procedure 3, N groups of DNA samples are denatured in order from low to high, and the denaturation, annealing and extension of the DNA sample group with the lowest denaturation temperature are completed first, and the denaturation, annealing and extension of the DNA sample group with the highest denaturation temperature are completed last.
[0027] The upper limit of N in the above method depends on the number of intervals of the denaturation temperature and / or the number of intervals of the annealing temperature of each sequence in the QPCR system, i.e. the number of groups is sufficient to ensure that only one group of DNA samples or their DNA fragments is denatured or annealed at a denaturation temperature or annealing temperature.
[0028] Before starting QPCR, all sequences in the QPCR system need to be analyzed, and forward and reverse conditional primers 1 and 2 and DNA fragment amplification primers are designed, and groups are designed according to the differences in denaturation temperature of different DNA samples or DNA fragments, or groups are designed according to the differences in annealing temperature of primers, and the grouping results meet the requirements of the method.
[0029] When designing the above sequences, the following conditions are preferably met:
[0030] (1) The annealing temperature of the conditional primer 2 is higher than that of the conditional primer 1. This ensures that the conditional primer 2 is preferentially combined with the DNA template to the conditional primer 1, so that the DNA fragment primer is successfully cut off by the DNA polymerase.
[0031] (2) The annealing temperature of the artificial template and the probe is higher than the highest annealing temperature of the DNA fragment and the artificial template in the group N.
[0032] (3) The binding sequence of the artificial template and the probe is a sequence that does not exist in the genomic DNA, such as a repeated sequence of AGGC, etc., to ensure that the binding of the artificial template and the probe is not affected by the genomic DNA, thereby reducing the generation of non-specific signals.
[0033] Preferably, the QPCR procedure of the present application comprises the following steps:
[0034] Program 1: All DNA samples are denatured at a uniform denaturation temperature to obtain DNA single-stranded templates, conditional primers 1 and 2 of each DNA sample are combined with the DNA single-stranded templates at a uniform annealing temperature, and the conditional primer 1 is extended and amplified to release the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be tested at a uniform extension temperature;
[0035] Program 2: The DNA sample and its amplification product of program 1 are denatured at a denaturation temperature to obtain DNA single-stranded templates, and if the DNA sample contains the sequence of the DNA fragment to be tested, the amplification primer is combined with the DNA single-stranded templates at a uniform annealing temperature, and the extension and amplification are performed to obtain the DNA fragment to be tested;
[0036] Program 3: All DNA fragments to be tested are divided into N groups, N is an integer from 2 to 7, and the N groups of DNA fragments to be tested are sequentially subjected to denaturation, annealing and extension from the lowest denaturation temperature group to the highest denaturation temperature group.
[0037] In one specific example of the present application, the QPCR procedure comprises the following steps:
[0038] Program 1:
[0039] a) Denaturation, 95℃-98℃, 5-30 seconds, all double-stranded DNA samples / templates are denatured and dissociated;
[0040] b) Annealing, 50℃-70℃, 10-30 seconds, conditional primers 1 and 2 are annealed;
[0041] c) Extension, 72℃-75℃, 10-30 seconds, conditional primers 1 and 2 are extended and amplified to release the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be tested;
[0042] Program 2:
[0043] d) Denaturation, 95℃-98℃, 5-30 seconds, all double-stranded DNA samples / templates are denatured and dissociated;
[0044] e) annealing, 50-70℃, 10-30 seconds, annealing of the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected;
[0045] f) extension, 72-75℃, 10-30 seconds, amplification of the DNA fragment to be detected;
[0046] Program 3:
[0047] g1) denaturation, 75℃, 5-30 seconds, denaturation of the first group of DNA fragments to be detected (the lowest denaturation temperature relative to other groups);
[0048] h1) annealing, 72℃, 10-30 seconds;
[0049] i1) extension, 72℃, 10-30 seconds;
[0050] Denaturation, annealing, and extension are performed on each group of DNA fragments to be detected in order of increasing denaturation temperature, until
[0051] g N ) denaturation, 98℃, 5-30 seconds, denaturation of the Nth group of DNA fragments to be detected (the highest denaturation temperature relative to other groups);
[0052] h N ) annealing, 72℃, 10-30 seconds;
[0053] i N ) extension, 72℃, 10-30 seconds;
[0054] The above steps are repeated 40-50 times, and N is the number of groups of DNA samples to be detected, which is an integer from 2 to 7.
[0055] In the method, the sequence of the artificial template paired with the probe is a DNA sequence not possessed by the genomes of all DNA samples.
[0056] Another object of the present application is to provide a conditional multiplex QPCR reagent, wherein the amplification system comprises a set of conditional primers 1 and 2 for each DNA sample, the forward conditional primers 1 and 2 are paired with the template strand, the reverse conditional primers 1 and 2 are paired with the complementary strand of the template strand, the conditional primer 2 is located downstream of the conditional primer 1, the 5' end of the conditional primer 2 is connected to the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected, and the amplification primer is not paired with the sequence upstream of the combination of the conditional primer 2 and the template strand.
[0057] Further, the reagent amplification system further comprises an artificial template and a probe for each DNA fragment to be detected, the probe being labeled with a fluorescent reporter group at the 5' end and a quenching group at the 3' end, and the artificial template comprising the sequence of the DNA fragment to be detected, and the probe specifically pairing with the upstream sequence of the DNA fragment to be detected in the artificial template.
[0058] The reagent further comprises a PCR reaction buffer, magnesium ions, dNTPs and a DNA polymerase. When a large number of DNA fragments need to be detected simultaneously in one reaction system, the effect of avoiding non-specific amplification by only adding the sequence difference of the primer probe is not good due to the large number of added primer probe sequences. The method of the present application relies on the specific binding of conditional primers 1 and 2 to the DNA template, the amplification primer of the DNA fragment to be detected to the template, the DNA fragment to be detected to the artificial template, and the Taqman probe to the artificial template, which can better avoid the non-specific binding caused by a large number of primers and probes. In addition, the method of the present application can regulate the sequence of denaturation and / or annealing according to the difference in sequence denaturation temperature and / or annealing temperature, improve the specificity of single or single group DNA fragment denaturation, annealing and extension, and effectively avoid the signal interference in the detection of different genes in multiplex PCR.
[0059] The specific applications of the present application include but are not limited to the detection of the expression levels of multiple different target gene fragments, the detection of multiple gene mutations, and the detection of multiple abnormal methylation genes. Specifically, the technical means of the present application can detect multiple DNA fragments with different sequences in the same system and in the same fluorescence channel, so the technical means of the present application will be applicable to all multiple gene detection methods using QPCR technology, and there is no requirement for the type of DNA template.
[0060] The application of the present application can be used as a detection reagent for QPCR reaction for simultaneously detecting multiple gene characteristics. The detection reagent includes multiple gene methylation detection, multiple gene mutation detection, multiple gene expression level detection, and multiple disease diagnosis reagent, etc. The diseases include but are not limited to tumors, genetic abnormalities, metabolic abnormalities, and diseases caused by drug-resistant pathogen infections. For example, blood tumors, solid tumors such as colorectal cancer tumors, congenital genetic diseases such as thalassemia, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis complex infections, and human immunodeficiency virus drug-resistant infections, etc.
[0061] Advantages of the present application:
[0062] The application establishes a QPCR detection method for simultaneously detecting multiple target DNA fragments with high specificity, high sensitivity and low cost. The specificity of the QPCR method is significantly improved by using specific binding of a large number of sequence-specific DNA fragments as a precondition for target DNA detection, which effectively avoids false positive signals caused by non-specific binding of primers and probes in multiplex PCR reaction. In the method, the target DNA amplification product has been amplified at its respective denaturation temperature, so that the interference of other amplification products can be well avoided during each fluorescence collection, thereby greatly improving the detection sensitivity. The technical means can realize the detection of multiple genes in the same fluorescence channel of the same reaction system, and high-throughput QPCR can be realized by combining with other technologies such as different fluorescence channels, so that simultaneous detection of a large number of genes in the same PCR reaction tube can be realized.

[0127] 1.4 Design and synthesis of amplification template sequence for specific experiment
[0128] In traditional QPCR experiments, specific amplification is mainly achieved by relying on the sequence specificity of primers and probes, but in multiplex PCR, with the increase of the number of primers and probes, it is more likely to produce false positive signals by non-specific amplification. In the QPCR method described in the application, the specific amplification of the target gene depends on the combination of multiple sequence-specific DNA fragments and templates, and there are also strict requirements for DNA amplification products, therefore the QPCR method described in the application can significantly improve the specificity in the QPCR amplification process, and the present embodiment tests the specificity in the QPCR process by designing and synthesizing a plurality of non-specific amplification templates.
[0129] First, the DNA template sequence DNA sample 2 sequence used for normal amplification is synthesized, and the sequence information is as described above.

[0217] 3.3 Results of conditional fluorescent signal multiplex PCR experiment
[0218] As shown in Figures 2, 3 and Table 22, all amplification curves are normal. Compared with conditional fluorescent signal multiplex PCR, the use of ordinary QPCR method for amplification and detection of the 20 target gene fragments showed significantly lower fluorescence amplification and higher CT value, which indicates that non-specific amplification will occur in ordinary QCPR method, resulting in interference between fluorescence signal amplification. In the conditional primer multiplex QPCR method, the release of fluorescence signal in each cycle depends on the amplification primer produced after the amplification of conditional primer and the correct amplification product, thus significantly improving the specificity of target gene detection. It is shown that the addition of conditional primer and conditional probe can achieve better multiplex PCR effect.

[0241] 4.3 Results of conditional fluorescent signal multiplex PCR experiment
[0242] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and table 26, all amplification curves are normal, and compared with conditional multiplex PCR, the amplification curves are abnormal when the 30 target gene fragments are amplified and detected by ordinary QPCR method, and there is no normal amplification curve, which shows that in the amplification of a large number of target gene fragments in ordinary QPCR method, a large number of non-specific amplification will occur, which will interfere with the increase of fluorescence signal, and in the conditional primer multiplex QPCR method, the release of fluorescence signal in each cycle depends on the amplification primer and correct amplification product produced after the amplification of conditional primer, and at the same time, the fluorescence release process of different target gene fragments is separated by temperature gradient, so as to significantly improve the maximum amount of target gene detection, which shows that the addition of conditional primer and conditional probe and the use of temperature gradient can achieve better multiplex PCR effect.
