Description

Nucleic acid detection system, nucleic acid detection system array, nucleic acid detection method, and method for screening candidate guide nucleic acids
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid detection system, a nucleic acid detection system array, a nucleic acid detection method, and a method for screening candidate guide nucleic acids for detecting a target nucleic acid in a sample. The nucleic acid detection system is a graphene-based amplification-free nucleic acid detection system.
Background
Most of the existing nucleic acid detection methods require a large amount of reagents and expensive and heavy instruments. Conventional nucleic acid detection techniques such as PCR require multi-step reactions for amplifying a sample, and further improvement in terms of cost and integration is required. In view of this, a graphene-based field effect transistor (GFET) has been developed in the prior art, which implements digital detection of a target sequence in a complete genome by means of a CRISPR (Clustered regulated Short Palindromic Repeats) technique (see non-patent document 1 and patent document 1). This biosensor called CRISPR chip utilizes the gene targeting ability of catalytically inactivated CRISPR-associated protein 9(Cas9) complexed with a specific single guide RNA and immobilized on a transistor, forming a label-free nucleic acid detection device whose output signal can be measured by a simple reader. In the presence of genomic DNA containing a target gene, the CRISPR chip was able to generate a current signal with a sensitivity of 1.7fM within 15 minutes, no amplification was required in the detection, and the output signal was significantly enhanced compared to samples without target sequence. The development of the CRISPR chip greatly expands the application of the CRISPR-Cas9 technology in the electrical detection of nucleic acid chips.

Non-patent document

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
However, the CRISPR chip described above has the following problems: (ii) SIGNAL-to-NOISE RATIO (SNR) is not sufficiently high, and for example, non-patent document 1 describes that the SIGNAL-to-NOISE RATIO when the target gene BFP (blue fluorescent protein) is detected using its CRISPR-Cas9 chip, and shows about 4-fold SIGNAL-to-NOISE RATIO when exposed to HEK-BFP containing a BFP target gene as compared with a sample without the BFP target gene. Detection limit is to be improved: as described above, the sensitivity of dCas9 is at the fM (about 1.7fM) level, resulting in a limitation in the sensitivity of the entire system. The detection time is to be shortened: the CRISPR chip detection in non-patent document 1 requires about 15 minutes, and is not suitable for rapid detection in large quantities.
As a result of intensive studies in view of the above-described problems in the prior art, the present inventors have found that by binding Cas12(VA type), Cas13(VI type), Cas14(VF type) or another enzyme having a concomitant cleavage activity to GFET, amplification-free nucleic acid detection with a high signal-to-noise ratio and high sensitivity can be achieved, and POCT (point-of-care testing) is expected to be achieved. Specifically, the invention utilizes the programmable sequence specificity and the associated cleavage activity of Cas12, Cas13 or Cas14 and the like combined with GFET to detect the target sequence, thereby obtaining the effects of excellent signal-to-noise ratio, sensitivity reaching aM level and shortening detection time.

Examples
The nucleic acid detecting system and the nucleic acid detecting method of the present invention are specifically exemplified below by taking a novel coronavirus (hereinafter, also referred to as COVID19) as an example, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
Example 1: preparation of CRISPR-Cas12 chip of nucleic acid detection system

1. graphene-FET sensor fabrication
Firstly, patterning graphene on a 4-6 inch silicon wafer transferred with high-quality graphene by adopting a lifting process, and manufacturing a Ti/Pt source electrode and a drain electrode. Wherein, the silicon wafer adopts piranha cleaning process in advance to remove all organic residues which can be used as final dopants; the patterning of the graphene is achieved by Reactive Ion Etching (RIE). The patterned graphene chip, including the wire bonds of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB), was then connected into the custom PCB package using epoxy, leaving only an open cavity above the bare graphene transistor for placement of the solution gate electrode and introduction of the sample to be tested. Data was collected using a semiconductor parameter analyzer and current changes were analyzed.

3. Functionalization of graphene-FET sensors
The graphene-FET sensor fabricated as above was washed twice with acetone and once with deionized water. Subsequently, pbse (sigma aldrich) (structural formula below) was added on the graphene surface, and incubated at room temperature for 2 hours. The surface of the sensor was then rinsed twice with Dimethylformamide (DMF) and once with deionized water (DIW) and allowed to dry completely. PBSE was then activated using N- (3-dimethylaminopropyl) -N-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (S-NHS).

Before adding a sample to be detected into the CRISPR-Cas12 chip, the CRISPR-Cas12 chip is treated by using 2mM MgCl2The chip was calibrated by incubating at 37 ℃ for 5 minutes. Dissolving the report nucleic acid in deionized water, adding the solution with the final concentration of 1 mu M into a sample to be detected, then respectively adding 1 mu L of sample solution to be detected and 1 mu L of control solution into the CRISPR-Cas12 chip and the control CRISPR-Cas9 chip of the invention, incubating for 20 minutes at 37 ℃, and continuously monitoring the current change in the chips.
The detection results are shown in fig. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 shows a graph of response efficiency of a test sample and a control sample added to the chip, which changes with time, and it can be seen from FIG. 4 that the signal output of the CRISPR-Cas12 chip of the invention is exponential, while the signal of the control CRISPR-Cas9 chip is displayed after a period of time. FIG. 5 shows the SNR of the test sample and the control sample after they are added to the chip. The results of fig. 4 and 5 show that the CRISPR-Cas12 chip of the present invention has shorter detection time (fig. 4, about 10 minutes) and higher signal-to-noise ratio (fig. 5, about 15 times).
As can be seen from the above-described detection experiments, the present invention provides a nucleic acid detection system having an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, a sensitivity up to an aM level, and a greatly shortened detection time.
