Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for electro-separation of a nucleic fraction from a cell lysate, as well as to any device, in particular for single use, for the implementation of said process for electro-separation.
- nucleic material or a nucleic fraction
- separation is meant generically any process making it possible to enrich or concentrate a medium, to isolate or to determine (qualitatively and / or quantitatively) in a complex medium, at least one nucleic material, ie deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and / or ribonucleic acid (RNA).
- DNA deoxyribonucleic acid
- RNA ribonucleic acid
- a first reservoir for a first buffer solution comprising two opposite compartments, each closed by a permeable membrane, one of large section, and the other of small section, and each having a cut-off threshold making it possible to retain the nucleic material or protein of interest,
- This device is used to concentrate a nucleic or protein fraction, already relatively pure but diluted, by placing this fraction on the membrane of large section, and by collecting on the membrane of small section the same fraction, but concentrated. Concentration is obtained due to the transport of biomolecules by electric field lines, which are concentrated at the level of the membrane of small section.
- the biological sample 44 comprising a nucleic material, for example a drop of blood placed on a porous support, is eluted by the electrolytic flow, so that in each well the nucleic material is dissolved or distributed, for a subsequent sampling, for example with a pipette .
- document US-C-5 41 5 758 describes a method of treatment under the action of an electric field in a liquid medium, of a biological sample comprising both a nucleic material and a non-nucleic material, for example protein, free and mobile in said liquid medium under the action of the electric field, process according to which: a) a buffer solution is available, b) a permeable membrane is available, in contact on one side with the buffer solution, and having a predetermined cutoff threshold for stopping the nucleic material, on the side of said buffer solution, during its migration under the action of the electric field, c) establishing said electric field, so that its lines of force pass through the buffer solution, and pass through the permeable membrane.
- the biological sample is placed in the buffer solution, upstream of the membrane, according to the direction of circulation of the nucleic material under the action of the electric field,
- a method does not make it possible to separate the nucleic material from the biological sample, to the point of eliminating practically any non-nucleic material, for example protein.
- a first stage consists in bringing the lysed biological sample into contact with an adsorbent, so as to separately fix the nucleic material
- a second step consists in salting out this nucleic material, starting from the adsorbent.
- a buffer solution 10 is placed in a container 10, subjected to an electric field between two electrodes 20a and 20b.
- This container communicates with the rest of the container 10, by means of an orifice 1 2, through which is arranged a membrane 30 allowing to stop the moving nucleic material under the electric field.
- a well 60 for collecting the nucleic material.

- Example 1 General procedure for implementing the method according to the invention. The procedure is based on the use of a nucleic acid electroelution apparatus according to FIG. 1. A volume of biological sample is carefully placed at the bottom of compartment C1. The two electrodes of the circuit are connected to an electric generator. A constant voltage of 150 V is applied across the generator. The intensity of the circuit varies from 15 to 20 mA and the temperature of the buffer in compartment C varies from 23 to 30 ° C. The biological molecules initially deposited at the bottom of compartment C1 migrate in the electric field thus created, at a speed defined according to their charge and their size.
- the voltage at the terminals of the generator is stopped and the molecules which have migrated to the cathode and of apparent molecular weight less than or equal to 10 kDa are collected in the compartment Cf, in a final volume of 200 ⁇ l.
- the sample thus recovered is kept in ice before analysis.
- the biological sample deposited in compartment C1 can be a nucleic and / or protein material, purified or not, a cell lysate, coming from a biological sample such as blood, urine and a sputum of respiratory type.
- the cell lysates studied were obtained from S. epidermidis, Gram + walled bacteria (A054). These bacteria are grown in BCC liquid medium (Brain Heart Broth, bioMerieux 4101 9). Before lysis, they are suspended, either in a clinical sample (liquefied and decontaminated sputum, blood, plasma, serum, etc.), or in lysis buffer (30 mM Tris-HCI, 5 mM EDTA, 100 mM NaCI pH 7.2).
- 300 ⁇ ⁇ of this cell suspension were lysed by essentially following two protocols: - Lysis protocol by mechanical shock: 90 ⁇ ⁇ of glass beads with a diameter between 90 and 1 50 ⁇ m, 3 iron beads with a diameter of 2 mm and 5 glass beads with a diameter of 3 mm are placed in a Falcon tube in the presence of 300 ⁇ l of the cell suspension, as described in the patent (FR-A-2 768 743). 6 mg / ml final proteinase K (PK) (EC 3.4.21 .14 Boehringer-Mannheim, ref. 1092766) can be added to the cell suspension. The closed tube is vortexed for two minutes, at 1 2 maximum power of the device (Reax 2000, Heidolph). The bacterial suspension thus treated and recovered is immediately deposited in compartment C1 of the device described in Figure 1. If the PK is present in the cell solution, an additional incubation for 15 minutes at 37 ° C is carried out.
- PK final proteinase K
- the percentage of nucleic acids collected from the cathode side, after migration into the compartment Cf, is determined by measuring the OD (optical density) of the sample recovered at 260 nm. The percentage collected is equal to the ratio of the OD value at 260 nm after migration, over the OD value at 260 nm before migration. Likewise, the amount of protein collected at the cathode after migration is determined by Bradford assay and OD reading at 595 nm. The percentage of proteins collected is equal to the ratio of the protein quantity recovered to the initial quantity.
- the quantity of nucleic acids recovered from the cathode side after migration is checked on 0.8% agarose gel; 10 ⁇ l of the sample are deposited per well, the electrophoretic migration is carried out under constant voltage (1 50 V) and the gel is stained with ethidium bromide (BET) before observation under ultraviolet radiation.
- BET ethidium bromide
- the proteins recovered at the cathode after migration can be observed on polyacrylamide gel in the presence of SDS (SDS-PAGE 10%); 5 to 10 ⁇ l of the sample are deposited per well, the electrophoretic migration is carried out at constant intensity (25 mA), and the gel is stained with Coomassie blue.
- the quantity of nucleic acids recovered from the cathode side is determined by specific detection according to a hybridization technique 1 3 said sandwich, using the Vidas device marketed by bioMérieux (France).
- Oligonucleotide probes for capture and specific detection of nucleic acids of S. epidermidis were chosen.
- the capture and detection oligonucleotides have respectively the sequence: 5'-GACCACCTGTCACTCTGTCCC-3 '(SEQ ID No: 1) and 5'-GGAAGGGGAAAACTCTATCTC-3' (SEQ ID No: 2).
- the detection probe is labeled by coupling with alkaline phosphatase (AKP).
- the specific hybridization of these probes with the nucleic acids released in the lysate is a function of the quantity of nucleic acids present, but also of their accessibility for the probes used.
- Two specific amplification protocols for DNA and RNA molecules of S. epidermidis were carried out from the samples collected after migration: a PCR protocol for the amplification of DNA and a NASBA protocol for the amplification of 6S rRNA 1 and a TMA protocol for the amplification of 1 6S rRNA.
- Primer 2 5'-TCGACGGCTAGCTCCAAAT-3 '(SEQ ID No: 4) The following temperature cycles were used: 1 time 3 minutes at 94 ° C 2 minutes at 65 ° C 35 times 1 minute at 72 ° C

- PCR 10 ⁇ l or 50 ⁇ l of collected sample are used for each PCR and TMA test, respectively.
- the amplicons produced by PCR are observed on 0.8% agarose gel and quantified on Vidas according to the protocol described above.
- the amplicons produced by TMA are detected and quantities on microplate by hybridization with a capture probe and a detection probe, specific for S. epidermidis, according to the method described by P. Cros et al. , Lancet 1992, 240: 870.
- the detection probe is coupled to "Horse Radish Peroxidase" (HRP).

- Example 2 Kinetics of recovery of nucleic acids from cell lysate.
- a suspension of Staphylococcus epidermidis (1-5.10 ⁇ b./300 ⁇ l) is lysed by mechanical shock or by electric shock, as described in the general protocol above. 200 ⁇ l of each lysate are deposited at the bottom of compartment C1. The electric field is applied for different times between the two electrodes. The amounts of nucleic acids or proteins present in the sample collected in compartment Cf are determined by analysis with a Vidas apparatus or Bradford assay, respectively. The quality of the molecules recovered was assessed on agarose or acrylamide gel, in the presence of SDS.
- the nucleic acids of the lysate migrated into the compartment Cf gradually over time, as shown in FIG. 2. After 60 minutes, all of the nucleic material of the lysate is recovered, regardless of the presence or not of proteinase K during the lysis step. This result is in favor of good release and accessibility of nucleic acids in the lysate.
- the DNA molecules recovered have the same migration profile on 0.8% agarose gel as before migration into the lysate. In the presence of proteinase K during the lysis step, as shown in FIG. 3, only a negligible percentage of proteins is recovered after 60 minutes, while in the absence of protease, approximately 50% of proteins are recovered. 1 5
- the nucleic acids of the lysate gradually migrate to the cathode. After 60 minutes, a large percentage of nucleic acids is recovered. The recovery of the nucleic material initially present in this lysate is similar to that of the nucleic material initially present in a lysate obtained by mechanical shock (cf. above).
- no nucleic acid can be detected in the compartment Cf, even after 60 minutes of migration (Vidas analysis and 0.8% agarose gel). On agarose gel, the DNA and RNA molecules of the lysate recovered can be observed separately after migration, whereas they are not initially in the lysate.
- Amplification of the purified nucleic acids from cell lysate The S. epidermidis bacteria diluted in 300 ⁇ l of lysis buffer are lysed by mechanical shock in the absence of PK, as described in the general protocol of Example 1. 200 ⁇ l of the lysate are deposited at the bottom of compartment C1. An electric field is applied between the two electrodes for different times.
- the nucleic material which has migrated into compartment Cf is amplified by PCR (10 ⁇ l per test) or TMA (50 ⁇ l per test). The amount of amplicons produced is analyzed by specific hybridization on Vidas or microplate, respectively.
- the DNA of a number greater than or equal to 1.10 ⁇ initial bacteria (/ 200 ⁇ l) can be amplified and detected, after mechanical lysis of the cells and migration of the constituents of the lysate under an electric field; or 10 ⁇ DNA molecules or bacteria per PCR test, given that the migrated material is recovered in 200 ⁇ l and that 10 ⁇ l of this material is used for each PCR test.
- 10 ⁇ DNA molecules correspond to the sensitivity limit of the PCR protocol, in general. This result demonstrates a high sensitivity for the recovery of bacterial DNA molecules after cell lysis by mechanical shock and purification of the intracellular DNA molecules by electric field in solution.
- the RNA of at least 40 initial bacteria can be detected after lysis of the bacteria, migration of the cellular constituents under an electric field and specific amplification of the rR1 6S of S. epidermidis; or 10 initial bacteria per TMA test, taking into account that the migrated nucleic material is recovered in 200 ⁇ l final, and that 50 ⁇ l are added by TMA test.
- This result demonstrates a high sensitivity for the recovery of bacterial 16S rRNA molecules, after lysis by mechanical shock and purification of the lysate nucleic acids by electric field.
- Example 3 Kinetics of recovery of nucleic acids from a blood sample.
- the blood sample is used without pre-treatment. 200 ⁇ l of this clinical sample is deposited at the bottom of compartment C1. A voltage of 150 V is applied between the two electrodes for different times, then the material recovered from the cathode side in the compartment Cf is analyzed by assaying proteins according to the Bradford method, and on polyacrylamide gel in the presence of SDS (SDS-PAGE 10%).
- the pH of the TBE buffer used for migration was fixed at pH 7.0, the isoelectric point of the hemoglobin being equal to 7.0.
- 50 or 100 kDa membranes were placed at the interface of the 1 7 compartments Cf and B.
- a negligible percentage of proteins is recovered with the 100 kDa membrane, and 10% of the proteins are recovered with the 50 kDa membrane.
- pH 7.0 only 10% of negatively charged blood proteins at pH 7.0 have an apparent molecular weight greater than 50 kDa and less than 100 kDa.
- a negligible percentage of proteins are recovered after 1 5 minutes of migration, using either a 50 or 100 kDa membrane.
- Example 4 Kinetics of recovery of nucleic acids from a respiratory type sample.
- the respiratory sample Before use, the respiratory sample is fluidized, decontaminated according to the standard protocol with N-acetyl-L-cysteine and sodium hydroxide (NALC / NaOH); then it is inactivated for 20 minutes at 95 ° C.
- NALC / NaOH N-acetyl-L-cysteine and sodium hydroxide
- the TBE buffer used for migration has a pH equal to 8.3 or 7.0, and membranes of different pore sizes were placed at the interface of compartments Cf and B: 10, 50 or 100 kDa.
- pH 8.3 10% of the proteins are recovered after 30 minutes, and 70-80% after 60 minutes with membranes of 50 or 10 kDa, which suggests that 70-80% of the proteins sputum are negatively charged at these pHs and have an apparent molecular weight greater than 50 kDa.
- pH 7.0 approximately 0% of the proteins are recovered after 30 or 60 minutes of migration, whatever the size of the pores of the membrane used (within the sensitivity limit of the detection techniques used).
- Example 5 Lifting of inhibition of amplification protocols by the respiratory type samples after migration.
- Respiratory-type samples are inhibitors of PCR and TMA reactions. 200 ⁇ l of these samples were deposited at the bottom of compartment C1 of the system described in Figure 1. A voltage of 1 50 V 1 8 constant was applied between the two electrodes for 1 5 minutes. A 10 kDa separation membrane between Cf and B was chosen. After migration, the sample recovered in compartment Cf (200 ⁇ l) was supplemented with different quantities of purified nucleic acids from S. epidermidis. 10 ⁇ l or 50 ⁇ l of this solution were used for each PCR or TMA test, respectively. As shown in Figure 10, up to 102-103 initial copies of DNA can be amplified in 10 ⁇ l of migrated sample. This result demonstrates that the migrated sputum has lost its PCR inhibitory character. Similar results were obtained with the TMA amplification.
- S. epidermidis were seeded in 300 ⁇ l of fluidized sputum, decontaminated and inactivated as described in Example 4 above. These cells in suspension were lysed by mechanical shock in the absence of PK, and the lysate migrated for 15 minutes at 150 V with a 10 kDa membrane between compartments Cf and B, according to the diagram presented in Figure 1.

- the S. epidermidis bacteria were seeded in 300 ⁇ l of fluidized sputum, decontaminated, inactivated and then lysed by mechanical shock in the absence of PK.
- 200 ⁇ l of the lysate migrated for 1 5 minutes under 1 50V with a 10 kDa membrane between the compartments Cf and A.
- the rRNA molecules present in the recovered sample were amplified by TMA (50 ⁇ l per test), and the amplicons produced were quantified by specific sandwich hybridization on a microplate.
- TMA 50 ⁇ l per test
- the amplicons produced were quantified by specific sandwich hybridization on a microplate.
- at least 10 ⁇ -10 5 initial lysed bacteria can be detected after migration and amplification of RNA molecules (i.e. at least 5.10 4 -5.10 3 initial bacteria / 50 ⁇ l TMA test). This result demonstrates the elimination of the TMA inhibitors initially present in the sputum.
- Example 6 Electro-separation after lysis by electric shock. 1-5.10 9 S. epidermidis were seeded in 300 ⁇ l of fluidized sputum, decontaminated and inactivated as described in example 4. These cells in suspension were lysed by electric shock in the presence of 10 "2 mg / ml final of PK and 2% final LLS (Lithium Lauryl Sulfate, Sigma) 200 ⁇ l of lysate migrated for 1 5 minutes at 150 V with a 10 kDa membrane between compartments Cf and B, according to the diagram presented in FIG. 1.

Indeed, the two cathodes 61 and 81, respectively assigned to the electro-separation circuit and to the lysis circuit, become the cathode common to the two circuits. In this case, the biological sample is lysed in compartment 32. Such a device can be used on the wafer. It will then be easy to integrate it into a PLC thanks to this space saving.
