Optimization of Multiplex PCR Systems for Gene-chip Detection of Mutations in Exons in cTnI Gene Associated with FHCM

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the diseases damaging people health most badly and some mutations of exons in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) gene are closely associated with family hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM).A microarray was fabricated to screen mutations in exons 3,5,7,and 8 in cTnI gene.Primers were designed for the PCR (polymerase chain reaction) to amplify the target DNA fragments from fresh blood samples.In order to simplify the PCR process,multiplex PCR technology was investigated in detail.The concentration of Mg^(2+) played an important role in multiplex PCR process,a properly low concentration of Mg^(2+) submitted a better speciality of PCR products.The speciality was also favored when the annealing temperature was reasonably enhanced and 64℃is the optimal annealing temperature for the multiplex PCR systems.When applying the fabricated gene-chip to detect the target fragments from PCR mixture,the signal intensity sequence is in accordance with that from theoretic estimate.

Optimization of PCR System in EST-SSR Analysis of Phytophthora infestans

Late blight caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans Montagne de Bary is a devastating disease on potato production. A total of six parameters affecting the PCR system in P. infestans were investigated based on the template DNA of the isolate HH06-23 and EST-SSR primer pair Pi08N. The results showed that the optimal annealing temperature was 63 ℃, and the optimum PCR system of EST-SSR was 25 ng template DNA, 0.5 mmol·L^-1 dNTPs, 2 μL 10×Buffer （Mg^2＋ free）, 1.75 mmol·L^-1 MgCl2, 15 pmol primer, and 1.2 U Taq DNA polymerase in total 20 μL reaction system. The PCR program was initial denaturation at 94℃ for 2 rain, followed by 35 cycles of 94℃ for 30 s, 63℃ for 30 s, and 72℃ for 30 s, then a final extension step was 72℃ for 7 min, and held at 4℃. In addition, using the optimal PCR system, a total of 20 isolates of P. infestans were used for testing the stability and polymorphism of the PCR amplification. The clarity and abundant polymorphism indicated that this system was stable and suitable for researching the genetic diversity ofP. infestans population.

Standardization of a Real-time PCR System for Quantitative Detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae

This study was conducted to develop a method for accurate quantification of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae during vaccine production or experimental research. Primer and probe concentration that gave the highest ΔRn and the lowest Ct were selected to establish the real-time PCR system for the detection of M. hyopneumoniae. Template DNA of M. hyopneumoniae was extracted by boiling under different conditions and detected by real-time PCR to determine the optimal conditions for DNA extraction. Thereafter, intra-and inter-batch reproducibility tests were carried out using a standard plasmid to evaluate the stability of the PCR system. Subsequently, the effect of medium composition on the quantitative detection was evaluated. Finally, the correlation between real-time PCR and CCU method was explored. The optimal primer and probe concentration for real-time PCR were 0.4 and 0.2 μmol/L, respectively. The intra-and inter-batch coefficients of variation(CV) in Ct value of 10~4-10~9 copies/μl standard plasmid were <5%, indicating good reproducibility of the real-time PCR system. Following incubation in a boiling water bath for 10 min, M. hyopneumoniae samples can be used directly as a template in subsequent real-time PCR assays,and good intra-batch and inter-batch reproducibility was observed. The working concentration of KM2 medium should be less than the 1/10 of the concentration of the stock solution to minimize its influence on the quantitative detection. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that the log of CCU and the log of DNA copy number had a significant positive relationship(r=0.797,P=0.000). Thus, the two methods can be used in combination in the quantitative detection of M. hyopneumoniae. In summary, a rapid, stable and accurate quantitative PCR system for detecting M. hyopneumoniae culture was established in this study, which provides a technical means for accurate quantification of M. hyopneumoniae in vaccine production and laboratory tests.

Optimization of Quantitative Real-time PCR System on Amplification of Beta-glucosidase Gene Os1bglu4

[Objective] This study aimed to establish a quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR) system for detecting the expression of rice beta-glucosidase gene Os1bglu4. [Method] The PCR was conducted with SYBR Green I method, using the primers of reference gene actin or ubiquitin. [Result] Actin was more suitable to be the reference gene than ubiquitin. More accurate results were obtained when the 100 ng cDNA template was added at a large volume and a lower concentration.The primer concentration in the range from 0.2 to 0.8 μmol/L we set had no significant influence on the results, so, 0.4 μmol/L was selected as the optimal primer concentration in this study. The amplification efficiency was greatly reduced when the annealing temperature was set at 64 ℃, therefore, annealing temperature was set at 60 ℃. Compared with the reaction system of 25 μl, the fluorescence intensity was significantly lower but the CT value did not change greatly in 10 μl system.So, the 10 μl reaction system was selected, which significantly reduces the research costs for the detection of a large amount of samples in future study.

基于主成分分析的多重定量PCR荧光串扰校正

聚合酶链式反应(PCR)是分子生物学常用的检测手段,主要用于对生物的DNA或RNA进行检测。由于荧光光谱重叠和滤光片过滤带宽限制,检测时所获得的荧光数据通常会包含荧光通道之间的串扰,串扰的存在使PCR结果分析变得复杂,并可能影响最终的检测结果。选择合适的光学元件,并确定通道间的补偿矩阵,可以降低甚至消除荧光串扰。目前荧光补偿矩阵大多通过迭代计算获得,还没有一种简单的方法可以从混合的多通道荧光数据中找到荧光补偿矩阵。为了快速获得荧光补偿矩阵,减小计算量,采用主成分分析法(PCA)中确定主成分的方式,基于搭建的测试平台进行单一染料实验,获得染料的荧光信号在各个检测通道的分布情况,计算得到荧光补偿矩阵。通过分析补偿矩阵,发现对于搭建的硬件系统,Cy5染料对Cy5.5通道串扰较大,串扰比例为8.76%,同时Cy5.5染料对Cy5通道串扰影响也相对较大,比例约为6.2%;其次是ROX染料对HEX通道串扰,比例约为2.68%;HEX染料对FAM通道串扰,比例约为1.58%;FAM染料对HEX通道串扰相对较小,比例约为0.25%,其余通道无明显串扰,与荧光光谱反映的结果一致。采用得到的荧光补偿矩阵对单一染料实验得到的原始荧光数据进行处理,有效去除了非目标通道的荧光串扰,实现了荧光通道数据的解耦,验证了方法的可行性。最后设计了染料颜色分辨实验,将不同浓度的多种染料进行组合测试,并采用所提出的方法将得到的数据进行荧光补偿。实验结果表明,荧光通道各自的线性相关性较高,五个荧光通道的线性相关系数r均大于0.99,该结果进一步验证了该补偿方法的有效性。
