Description

Cpf1 kit for rapid detection of new coronavirus nucleic acid and preparation method and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to a rapid detection method and a kit for a new coronavirus nucleic acid, in particular to a rapid diagnosis method and a kit for a new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid based on Cpf1 fluorescence detection, belonging to the field of biotechnology.

Background

The international committee for viral classification (ICTV) formally classified a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The World Health Organization (WHO) announces that the disease caused by this virus is formally known as COVID-19.

At present, the diagnosis of the new coronary pneumonia mainly comprises two types of virus nucleic acid molecule detection and chest imaging detection. The chest imaging detection mainly depends on the CT imaging result of the chest and lung part for judgment: the early stage shows multiple small spot shadows and interstitial changes, and the lung-external zone is obvious, so that the two lungs develop multiple wear glass shadows and infiltrative shadows. In severe cases, lung consolidation changes, even 'white lung' and pleural effusion are rare. However, the chest-lung CT examination is required to be specialized. In the approach of molecular biology, there are two approaches commonly used at present: gene sequencing and nucleic acid detection of viruses. The second generation sequencing can detect trace substances, but most hospitals do not have the assistance of sequencing equipment and a biological information team, and the detection period is high in cost and long, so that the second generation sequencing is not suitable for screening.

Current diagnostic methods rely on viral nucleic acid detection: identified by real time reverse transcriptase transcription PCR (rRT-PCR). Samples of the upper and lower respiratory tract, such as bronchial or alveolar lavage fluid and profuse sputum, were collected for each case, along with serum collected at the beginning of onset and 14 days after onset. At present, on the basis of meeting the standard of suspected cases, rRT-PCR detection is carried out on samples such as sputum, throat swabs, lower respiratory tract secretion and the like, and SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid is positive, so that SARS-CoV-2 infection can be diagnosed. The detection of viral nucleic acids by rRT-PCR is mainly subject to: the quality of the kit and the number of P3 laboratories capable of undertaking clinical testing, the accuracy and stability of the P3 laboratory equipment, the number of workers capable of skilled stable operation, the need for expensive laboratory equipment, and the long testing time.

At present, no effective treatment means or vaccine aiming at SARS-CoV-2 infection exists, and disease control mainly relies on strict physical isolation to cut off the transmission path, thereby directly causing serious economic loss. In view of the broad and rapid transmission pathway of SARS-CoV-2, there is an urgent need for rapid diagnosis of the virus, which is very important for the prevention and confirmation of the disease. The SARS-CoV-2 is detected accurately and quickly, so that the quarantine decision can be taken immediately and immediately, and the purpose of blocking the diffusion risk is achieved.

CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regulated short palindromic repeats, CRISPRs) is an adaptive immune system in bacteria, and Cas proteins target the degradation of foreign nucleic acids by RNA-guided nucleases [1,2 ]. Among them, CRISPR-Cas12a (Cpf1) belongs to Cas enzyme second family, and is used to guide RNA to guide double-stranded DNA cleavage of single RuvC catalytic domain. The Cpf1 enzymes recognize a Thymine (T) nucleotide rich spacer adjacent motif (PAM) 3, catalyze their own guided CRISPR RNA (crRNA) maturation 4, and specifically recognize and cleave complementary paired double-stranded dna (dsdna) 3. Strong non-specific single-stranded DNA (ssdna) trans-cleavage activity can be induced when the CRISPR/Cpf1 protein recognizes cleavage of the target double-stranded DNA in a sequence-specific manner [5 ]. Based on the above properties of Cpf1, we developed a rapid and accurate assay for detecting SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid in clinical specimens. Firstly, the clinical sample is processed by virus inactivation treatment to release SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid in the sample to be detected. Viral RNA is Reverse Transcribed (RT) to obtain DNA and Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) is performed [6 ]. The Cpf1-crRNA complex binds to and cleaves the target dsDNA, which activates the trans-cleavage of ssDNA. Fluorescent reporter molecules coupled to ssDNA generate a fluorescent signal upon cleavage. The novel method called DNA endonuclease targeting CRISPR trans-reporter gene provides a powerful platform for rapidly and accurately detecting the novel coronavirus.

TABLE 3 detection System for New coronavirus cpf1

1.5 full-wavelength ELIASA fluorescence detection

In the fluorescence detection of the microplate reader, 2 mu L of Buffer, 1 mu L of RnaseInhibitors, 1 mu L of Cpf1, 1 mu L of ssDNA FQ reporter, 5 mu L of RPA sample, 1 mu L of crRNA and 9 mu L H2O are sequentially added into the Cpf1 to the target gene detection system. The components are mixed evenly and then react for 25min at 37 ℃. Wherein, the concentration of RNase Inhibitors in the reaction system is 40U/muL, the concentration of Cpf1 is 200 ng/muL, the concentration of ssDNA FQ reporter is 25 pM/muL, and the concentration of crRNA is 1 nM/muL.

First, the detection efficiency of crRNA against SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid was sequentially examined. And (3) adding 1 mu L of crRNA into a Cpf1 detection system respectively, keeping other components consistent, mixing uniformly, reacting at 37 ℃ for 25min, and carrying out subsequent result detection and judgment on the reaction products.

The Cpf1 detection system was assessed for activity using fluorescence detection. And (3) measuring the fluorescence of the detection reaction by using a full-wavelength microplate reader, wherein the excitation wavelength is 485nm, the emission wavelength is 520nm, and the fluorescence value of 25min of reading and detection is taken as the reaction value. The results of the reaction detection for the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 are shown in FIG. 2. The result shows that in the detection system, the crRNA aiming at different gene segments can efficiently and specifically detect the corresponding orf1a, orf1b, N and E gene segments.

1.5 direct interpretation by naked eye with fluorescent display

Meanwhile, products obtained after the cpf1 detection reaction is carried out for 25min are placed under a 485nm laser lamp, and the results can be directly interpreted by naked eyes. When the crRNA specifically recognizes the target nucleic acid fragment, the color of the reaction product changes from colorless to fluorescent green; correspondingly, if no corresponding target nucleic acid is to be detected, the color of the reaction product remains uncolored. After 25min of reaction detection at cpf1, visual interpretation was performed under fluorescent light and recorded by photography. As shown in FIG. 3, crRNAs aiming at different gene segments can efficiently and specifically detect corresponding orf1a, orf1b, N and E gene segments.

In view of the consistent detection effect of the crRNA for orf1a, orf1b, N and E genes in the present embodiment, orf1a-crRNA1 to orf1a-crRNA2 for orf1a gene were mixed in equal proportion to obtain orf1 a-crRNAmix; mixing orf1b-crRNA1 to orf1b-crRNA3 aiming at orf1b gene in equal proportion to obtain orf1 b-crRNAmix; mixing N-crRNA1 to N-crRNA2 in equal proportion aiming at the N gene to obtain N-crRNAmix; E-crRNA1 to E-crRNA2 aiming at the E gene are mixed in equal proportion to obtain E-crRNAmix. In the subsequent detection, orf1a-crRNAmix detects orf1a gene, orf1b-crRNAmix detects orf1b gene, N-crRNAmix detects N gene and E-crRNAmix detects E gene.

Example 2: high-sensitivity SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid detection based on cpf1 fluorescence method

In this case, the following detection was performed to determine the sensitivity of cpf1 fluorescence method for SARS-CoV-2 detection.

First, the molecular weight of the test fragment was calculated from RNA samples pcRNA-orf1a, pcRNA-orf1b, pcRNA-N and pcRNA-E corresponding to the orf1a, orf1b, N and E gene fragments of SARS-CoV-2, and subjected to 10-fold gradient dilution to obtain test samples containing 2. multidot. E7, 2. multidot. E6, 2. multidot. E5, 2. multidot. E4, 2. multidot. E3, 2. multidot. E2, 2. multidot. E1 and 2. multidot. E0 copies (copy/. mu.L) per microliter.

The cpf 1-specific reaction was carried out on the diluted sample by the fluorescence method, and detection and interpretation of the fluorescence result were carried out in accordance with the detection procedure in example 1. The operation is briefly described as follows: the sample is diluted in 2. mu.L gradient and added into a 50. mu.L RT-RPA isothermal amplification reaction system for amplification. And (3) adding 10 mu L of isothermal amplification product into a 20 mu L cpf1 fluorescent nucleic acid detection system, uniformly mixing, and reacting at 37 ℃ for 25min to judge the fluorescence result.

In this case, cpf1 fluorescence method is used to detect the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, and enzyme-labeling instrument is used to detect (FIG. 4), so that high sensitivity detection of 4e0 copy virus can be realized; high sensitivity detection of 4e1 copies of virus was achieved using fluorescent visual detection (FIG. 5).

Example 3: high specificity detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid based on cpf1 fluorescence method

In this example, the following tests were carried out to determine whether the fluorescence method cpf1 could perform a highly specific reaction on SARS-CoV-2 and could effectively distinguish SARS virus from SARS-CoV-2 virus.

First, according to the present invention, for SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid detection segments pcRNA-orf1a, pcRNA-orf1b, pcRNA-N and pcRNA-E, RNA samples of SARS virus-corresponding gene sequences were prepared as described in example 1: ncRNA-orf1a, ncRNA-orf1b, ncRNA-N and ncRNA-E.

Next, referring to example 1, SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-detected sample were prepared by RT-RPA reaction and amplified separately.

In the fluorescence detection, 2. mu.L of Buffer, 1. mu.L of LRnase Inhibitors, 1. mu.L of Cpf1, 1. mu.L of ssDNA FQ reporter, 1. mu.L of crRNA and 10. mu.L of detection sample are sequentially added into the Cpf1 detection system. The components are mixed evenly and reacted for 25min at 37 ℃. In the detection system, the concentration of RNase Inhibitors is 40U/. mu.L, the concentration of Cpf1 is 200 ng/. mu.L, the concentration of ssDNADB reporter is 25 pM/. mu.L, and the concentration of crRNA is 1 nM/. mu.L.

In this example, the detection activity of the Cpf1 detection system was determined using fluorescence detection. And (3) measuring the fluorescence of the detection reaction by using a full-wavelength microplate reader, wherein the excitation wavelength is 485nm, the emission wavelength is 520nm, and the fluorescence value at the time of detection for 25min is taken as the reaction value. As shown in FIG. 6, the cpf1 fluorescence method of the present invention can detect SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid with high specificity and has no response to SARS virus.

In the embodiment, after the cpf1 detection system reacts for 25min, the fluorescence reaction of the detection product can be interpreted by naked eyes under a 485nm laser lamp. As shown in FIG. 7, the cpf1 fluorescence method of the present invention can detect SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid with high specificity and has no response to SARS virus.

The present embodiment simulates the nucleic acid of clinical tissue sample for fast detection of SARS-CoV-2, and the detection does not involve any clinical new coronavirus sample, and all the operational qualification is performed according to relevant laws and regulations and relevant regulations.

In this case, first, SARS-CoV-2 virus nucleic acid-corresponding RNA samples (pcRNA-orf1a, pcRNA-orf1b, and pcRNA-N, pcRNA-E) and SARS virus nucleic acid-corresponding RNA samples (ncRNA-orf1a, ncRNA-orf1b, ncRNA-N, and ncRNA-E) in example 3 were spotted onto throat swabs to simulate clinical samples and tested.

First, virus inactivation and viral nucleic acid release are performed. This example uses a rapid nucleic acid release agent from Novomedium to obtain pre-treated nucleic acids. The method comprises the following steps: throat swabs were added to 50 μ L PBS to simulate lysis of virus into the liquid. And adding 20 mul of nucleic acid lysate into 3 mul of sample to be detected, adding an RNase inhibitor, standing for 3 minutes at normal temperature, adding 20 mul of neutralizing solution, and uniformly mixing to perform the next detection. In the Cpf1 assay, 5. mu.L of each sample to be assayed was subjected to RT-RPA pre-amplification in the same manner as in example 1 to obtain a Cpf1 assay sample.

In the Cpf1 detection system, 2. mu.L Buffer, 1. mu.L RNase Inhibitors, 1. mu.L Cpf1, 1. mu.L ssDNA FQ reporter, 10. mu.L RPA sample and 1. mu.L crRNA were sequentially added. The components are mixed evenly and reacted for 25min at 37 ℃.

In this embodiment, the detection result cpf1 can be directly determined by naked eyes under a microplate reader or a fluorescent lamp. As shown in FIG. 8, the cpf1 fluorescence method of the present invention can be effectively used for determining the clinical positive and negative samples by the detection of the microplate reader. Similarly, the simulated clinical positive and negative samples were visually determined efficiently under fluorescent light (FIG. 9).
