Abstract:
Objective To develop a duplex digital PCR(dPCR) for evaluation of the stability of luciferase(Luc) gene in Luc2P reporter cell lines(CHO-K1,Hacat,HEK293 and UT7).Methods Genomic DNAs of Luc2P reporter cell lines were extracted,a duplex dPCR was developed to determine the copies of reference gene RPP30 and the target gene Luc,and the relative copy number of Luc(copies Luc/copy RPP30) was employed as the indicator for the stability evaluation of Luc gene;The developed method was verified for the specificity,precision,linearity,accuracy and durability,and analyzed for the applicability,according to the related requirements in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Volume Ⅲ,2020 edition).Results All the original cells without reporter gene transfection were negative,while all the four reporter cell lines were positive,and the negative and positive regions in dPCR results were clearly distinguished;The relative standard deviation(RSD) of the eight repeated detections of the same genomic DNA sample and the six independent extractions of genomic DNA sample of the same cell were all less than 10%,and the linear fitting R~2 values were more than 0.99 for both Luc and RPP30.The spike recoveries of five groups of samples detected by the developed method were between 50% and 100%,and the results of chip-type dPCR and droplet-type dPCR were consistent.This method distinguished the relative copy number of Luc in different cell clones,and the results of detecting the relative copy number of Luc in three passages(P8,P12 and P31) were highly consistent.Conclusion The developed duplex dPCR method has good specificity,precision,linearity,accuracy,durability and applicability,and might be used to evaluate the stability of Luc gene in Luc2P reporter cell lines.
