According to the invention, through analysis, the RUBCNL is found to be differentially expressed in thyroid cancer patients for the first time, and the RUBCNL is suggested to be applied to clinical diagnosis of thyroid cancer as a detection index.
RUBCNL
In the present invention, (gene ID: 80183) includes the human gene and the protein encoded by it, which is located in the region 4 of the long arm 1 of human chromosome 13. Currently, there are 8 transcripts in genebank, and the nucleic acid sequences are shown as NM-001286761.2, NM-001286762.3, NM-001286763.3, NM-001286764.3, NM-001286765.2, NM-001286766.2, NM-001349772.2, and NM-025113.4, respectively. A representative nucleic acid sequence is shown as NM-001286761.2, and the corresponding amino acid sequence is shown as NP-001273690.1.
The utility of the present invention is not limited to quantifying gene expression of any particular variant of the target gene of the present invention. It is known to those skilled in the art that when performing bioinformatic analysis, the sequenced sequence is usually aligned with a known gene, and the expression of the gene can be considered as long as the sequence can be aligned with the gene concerned, and therefore, when referring to differentially expressed genes, different transcripts, mutants or fragments thereof of the gene are also encompassed by the present invention.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the means by which gene expression is determined is not an important aspect of the present invention. The present invention may utilize any method known in the art to determine the expression level of a gene.
The RUBCNL of the present invention are detected using a variety of nucleic acid and protein techniques known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including but not limited to: nucleic acid sequencing, nucleic acid hybridization, nucleic acid amplification technology and protein immunization technology.
Illustrative, non-limiting examples of nucleic acid sequencing techniques include, but are not limited to, chain terminator (Sanger) sequencing and dye terminator sequencing. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that RNA is typically reverse transcribed into DNA prior to sequencing because it is less stable in cells and more susceptible to nuclease attack in experiments.
Another illustrative, non-limiting example of a nucleic acid sequencing technique includes next generation sequencing (deep sequencing/high throughput sequencing), which is a unimolecular cluster-based sequencing-by-synthesis technique based on proprietary reversible termination chemical reaction principles. Random fragments of genome DNA are attached to an optically transparent glass surface during sequencing, hundreds of millions of clusters are formed on the glass surface after the DNA fragments are extended and subjected to bridge amplification, each cluster is a monomolecular cluster with thousands of identical templates, and then four kinds of special deoxyribonucleotides with fluorescent groups are utilized to sequence the template DNA to be detected by a reversible edge-to-edge synthesis sequencing technology.
Illustrative, non-limiting examples of nucleic acid hybridization techniques include, but are not limited to, In Situ Hybridization (ISH), microarrays, and Southern or Northern blots. In Situ Hybridization (ISH) is a hybridization of specific DNA or RNA sequences in a tissue section or section using a labeled complementary DNA or RNA strand as a probe (in situ) or in the entire tissue if the tissue is small enough (whole tissue embedded ISH). DNA ISH can be used to determine the structure of chromosomes. RNA ISH is used to measure and locate mRNA and other transcripts (e.g., ncRNA) within tissue sections or whole tissue embedding. Sample cells and tissues are typically treated to fix the target transcript in situ and to increase probe access. The probe is hybridized to the target sequence at high temperature, and then excess probe is washed away. The localization and quantification of base-labeled probes in tissues labeled with radiation, fluorescence or antigens is performed using autoradiography, fluorescence microscopy or immunohistochemistry, respectively. ISH can also use two or more probes labeled with radioactive or other non-radioactive labels to detect two or more transcripts simultaneously.
Southern and Northern blots were used to detect specific DNA or RNA sequences, respectively. DNA or RNA extracted from the sample is fragmented, separated by electrophoresis on a matrix gel, and then transferred to a membrane filter. The filter-bound DNA or RNA is hybridized to a labeled probe complementary to the sequence of interest. Detecting the hybridization probes bound to the filter. A variation of this procedure is a reverse Northern blot, in which the substrate nucleic acid immobilized to the membrane is a collection of isolated DNA fragments and the probe is RNA extracted from the tissue and labeled.
Illustrative non-limiting examples of nucleic acid amplification techniques include, but are not limited to: polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Transcription Mediated Amplification (TMA), Ligase Chain Reaction (LCR), Strand Displacement Amplification (SDA), and Nucleic Acid Sequence Based Amplification (NASBA). One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that certain amplification techniques (e.g., PCR) require reverse transcription of RNA into DNA prior to amplification (e.g., RT-PCR), while other amplification techniques directly amplify RNA (e.g., TMA and NASBA).
Protein immunization techniques include sandwich immunoassays, such as sandwich ELISA, in which detection of a biomarker is performed using two antibodies that recognize different epitopes on the biomarker; radioimmunoassay (RIA), direct, indirect or contrast enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Fluorescence Immunoassay (FIA), western blot, immunoprecipitation, and any particle-based immunoassay (e.g., using gold, silver or latex particles, magnetic particles, or quantum dots). The immunization can be carried out, for example, in the form of microtiter plates or strips.
Thus, the immunization method according to the present invention can be carried out using well-known methods. Any direct (e.g., using a sensor chip) or indirect method may be used in the detection of the biomarkers of the invention.
Chip, kit and nucleic acid membrane strip
The chip of the invention comprises a gene chip and a protein chip; the gene chip comprises a solid phase carrier; and oligonucleotide probes immobilized on the solid phase carrier in an ordered manner, wherein the oligonucleotide probes specifically correspond to a part or all of the sequence shown in RUBCNL.

The solid phase carrier comprises an inorganic carrier and an organic carrier, wherein the inorganic carrier comprises but is not limited to a silicon carrier, a glass carrier, a ceramic carrier and the like; the organic vehicle includes a polypropylene film, a nylon film, and the like.
"antibody" is used herein in the broadest sense and specifically covers monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, multispecific antibodies (e.g., bispecific antibodies) formed from at least two intact antibodies, and antibody fragments so long as they exhibit the desired biological activity.
An "antibody fragment" comprises a portion of an intact antibody, preferably comprising the antigen binding region thereof. Examples of antibody fragments include Fab, Fab ', F (ab')2, and Fv fragments; a diabody; a linear antibody; a single chain antibody molecule; and multispecific antibodies formed from antibody fragments.
"diabodies" (diabodies) refer to antibody fragments having two antigen-binding sites, which fragments comprise a heavy chain variable domain (VH) and a light chain variable domain (VL) joined in the same polypeptide chain (VH-VL). By using linkers that are too short to allow pairing between the two domains on the same chain, these domains are forced to pair with the complementary domains of the other chain and create two antigen binding sites. Diabodies may be bivalent or bispecific.
The present invention provides a kit useful for detecting the expression level of a RUBCNL gene or protein, comprising primers, oligonucleotide probes, ligands, and/or chips for RUBCNL detection and/or quantification.
