Description

Breast cancer related microRNA detection kit

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of molecular biology, relates to medicine and biotechnology, and particularly relates to a breast cancer related microRNA detection kit.

Background

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs with a regulation function, and the size of the RNAs is about 20-25 nucleotides. Mature miRNAs are produced from a long primary transcript by a series of nuclease cleavage processes, then assembled into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), recognize a target miRNA by way of base-complementary pairing, and direct the silencing complex to degrade the target miRNA or repress translation of the target miRNA according to the difference in degree of complementarity. Recent studies have shown that mirnas are involved in a wide variety of regulatory pathways including development, viral defense, hematopoietic processes, organogenesis, cell proliferation and apoptosis, fat metabolism, and the like.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women, with about 18 million new cases and about 4 million deaths per year in the united states, second only to lung cancer, being the 2 nd cause of cancer death. In China, the incidence of breast cancer is also on the rise. Recent research suggests that miRNA plays an important role in various aspects such as occurrence and development of breast cancer, is widely involved in malignant biological behaviors such as proliferation, invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells, and is related to key prognostic indicators such as clinical stages, molecular subtypes, histological grading, lymph node metastasis, key receptor expression and distant metastasis of breast cancer patients. Wherein, part of miRNA plays the role of promoting cancer, the cancer-promoting miRNA is often over-expressed in the tumor, and the expression of cancer suppressor genes is negatively regulated, thereby promoting the infection and the metastasis of the tumor. At present, miR-17-5P, miR-10b, miR-21, miR-373, miR-520c and the like have promotion effects in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. In contrast to the above situation, some mirnas play a role in inhibiting cancer, and the cancer-inhibiting mirnas are often low-expressed or even not expressed in the process of tumorigenesis and development, so that the inhibition on oncogene expression is reduced, and finally, the invasion and metastasis of tumors are promoted. The over-expressed cancer-inhibiting miRNA can inhibit invasion and metastasis of breast cancer cells, and miR-17/20, miR-339-5p, miR-133a and the like are discovered at present.

At present, the methods for detecting miRNA mainly include Northern Blot, gene chip, fluorescent quantitative probe method, and microsphere-based flow cytometry. However, northern blot method has low sensitivity, long time consumption and large RNA dosage, and is not suitable for high-throughput analysis; the gene chip technology can realize high-throughput analysis of miRNA, i.e. a plurality of miRNA are detected on one chip simultaneously, but the defects are low result accuracy, poor repeatability and expensive experiment price; the fluorescence quantitative probe method has high detection sensitivity, but the detection cost is expensive; the flow cytometry technology based on the microspheres fixes the probe on the microspheres and places the probe in a liquid phase, which is more beneficial to capturing miRNA sequences, so that the accuracy is improved.

The in situ hybridization technique is a method for positioning and morphologically detecting specific miRNA sequences in preserved tissue sections or cell preparations. However, the prior art has many difficulties in multiplex and parallel detection of miRNA. Firstly, preparing a labeled probe of each target miRNA respectively; secondly, it is difficult to detect the expression of multiple target mirnas simultaneously in situ. Therefore, the detection of multiple mirnas reported at present can only be performed by different labeling methods, however, the possible cross-hybridization of the probe to non-specific sequences in the cell cannot be well controlled by different labeling methods.
