Rapid extraction-free detection of the R132H isocitrate dehydrogenase mutation in glioma using colorimetric peptide nucleic acid-loop mediated isothermal amplification (CPNA-LAMP).

ABSTRACT: The R132H isocitrate dehydrogenase one (IDH1) mutation is a prognostic biomarker present in a subset of gliomas and is associated with heightened survival when paired with aggressive surgical resection. In this study, we establish proof-of-principle for rapid colorimetric detection of the IDH1-R132H mutation in tumor samples in under 1 hour without the need for a nucleic acid extraction. Colorimetric peptide nucleic acid loop-mediated isothermal amplification (CPNA-LAMP) utilizes 4 conventional LAMP primers, a blocking PNA probe complementary to the wild-type sequence, and a self-annealing loop primer complementary to the single nucleotide variant to only amplify the DNA sequence containing the mutation. This assay was evaluated using IDH1-WT or IDH1-R132H mutant synthetic DNA, wild-type or IDH1-R132H mutant U87MG cell lysates, and tumor lysates from archived patient samples in which the IDH1 status was previously determined using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Reactions were performed using a hot water bath and visually interpreted as positive by a pink-to-yellow color change. Results were subsequently verified using agarose gel electrophoresis. CPNA-LAMP successfully detected the R132H single nucleotide variant, and results from tumor lysates yielded 100% concordance with IHC results, including instances when the single nucleotide variant was limited to a portion of the tumor. Importantly, when testing the tumor lysates, there were no false positive or false negative results.
