目的 通过数字PCR建立检测HIV-1完整前病毒DNA方法.方法 通过培养8E5细胞(含有单拷贝整合HIV-1前病毒的T淋巴细胞系),提取DNA.通过连续稀释DNA,利用数字PCR扩增1倍、5倍、25倍、625倍、3 125倍和15 625倍稀释的HIV-1Ψ区、env区和真核细胞10号染色体RPP30区,计算线性关系及最低检测浓度.在数字PCR体系中分别加入5 μl、3.1 μl、2.5 μl的DNA,各进行2批次检测,每批次重复检测4次,判断其批内变异系数,同核酸量和不同核酸量的批间变异系数判断稳定性.利用8E5 DNA检测细胞中完整前病毒含量.结果 DNA在6个稀释度下,Ψ区、env区和RPP30区线性拟合优度分别是R2≥0.999、R2≥0.993、R2≥0.996.当稀释到3 125倍时,Ψ区、env区和RPP30区最低阳性液滴检出3个、2个和2个,检出浓度是2.37拷贝/μl、1.21拷贝/μl和1.58拷贝/μl.DNA的数字PCR重复性实验检测,Ψ区批内变异系数从0.66%到3.43%,同核酸量的批间变异系数分别是3.19%、4.3%和3.45%,不同核酸量的批间变异系数仅4.35%.env区批内变异系数从0.7%到3.2%,同核酸量的批间变异系数分别是3.18%、4.52%和3.4%,不同核酸量的批间变异系数仅4.02%.RPP30区批内变异系数从0.91%到2.91%,同核酸量的批间变异系数分别是3%、4.55%和3.37%,不同核酸量的批间变异系数仅在3.98%.8E5细胞中含缺陷前病毒的比例和含完整前病毒的比例分别是90%和45%.结论 利用数字PCR能够检测HIV-1完整前病毒DNA,表现出较强的稳定性,为HIV-1感染者储存库检测提供技术手段.
Abstract
Objective To establishment an assay for HIV-1 intact proviral DNA assay through droplet digital PCR(ddPCR).Methods DNA was extracted by culturing 8E5 cells,a Tlymphocyte cell line containing a single copy of integrated HIV-1 provirus.Serial diluting DNA were prepared by amplified 1-fold,5-fold,25-fold,625-fold,3 125-fold,and 15 625-fold across the HIV-1 Ψ region,env region,and eukaryotic chromosome 10 RPP30 regions,and the linear relationship was calculated and the minimum detection concentration.DNA solution of 5 μl,3.1 μl,2.5 μl was added to the ddPCR mixture respectively,with each dilution undergoing two batches of detection,and each was repeated four times.The intra-batch variation coefficient was detected,while the inter-batch variation coefficient was detected by the same DNA amount and different DNA amounts to determine the stability;8E5 cell was used to detect the intact proviral content in cells.Results The linear fitting goodness of Ψ region,env region and RPP30 region are R2 ≥0.999,R2 ≥ 0.993,R2 ≥ 0.996 in 6 dilutions of DNA,respectively.At a 3 125-fold dilution,the lowest positive droplets were detected in the Ψ region,env region and RPP30 region were 3,2 and 2,respectively,the detected concentrations were 2.37 copies/μl,1.21 copies/μl and 1.58 copies/μl.The ddPCR repeatability experimental detecting DNA showed that the Ψ region of the intra-batch variation coefficients ranged from 0.66%to 3.43%,with the inter-batch variation coefficients of the same DNA at 3.19%,4.3%and 3.45%respectively,and the inter-batch variation coefficients of the different DNA at only 4.35%.The env region of the intra-batch variation coefficients ranged from 0.7%to 3.20%,with the inter-batch variation coefficients of the same DNA at 3.18%,4.52%and 3.4%respectively,and the inter-batch variation coefficients of the different DNA at only 4.02%.The RPP30 region of the intra-batch variation coefficients ranged from 0.91%to 2.91%,with the inter-batch variation coefficients of the same DNA at 3%,4.55%and 3.37%respectively,and the inter-batch variation coefficients of the different DNA at only 3.98%.The proportion of 8E5 cells containing defective provirus and the proportion of intact provirus were calculated to be approximately 90%and 45%,respectively.Conclusions Droplet digital PCR used to detect HIV-1 intact proviral DNA,showed strong stability and provided a technical means for HIV-1 infection reservoir detection.
