AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Traditional etiological inspection methods such as microscopic examination and parasite isolation are time-consuming and laborious, and their specificity and sensitivity are not high, so they cannot meet the current needs of diagnosis and control of toxoplasmosis
Immunological diagnosis method, that is, to detect Toxoplasma gondii antibody, but patients with toxoplasmosis are often accompanied by low immune function, and the antibody level often decreases, making it difficult to make a correct diagnosis
The diagnostic methods of molecular biology are simple and fast, with good sensitivity and high specificity, including ordinary PCR, nested PCR, fluorescent quantitative PCR, in situ PCR, etc. The diagnostic gene targets used include B1, ITS-1, P30 genes, etc. , but because the copy number of these diagnostic genes in the Toxoplasma gondii genome is not high (1-30 copies), it affects the diagnosis of the disease

Embodiment 1B

[0016] Example 1 BALB / c challenge experiment

[0017] Sixty BALB / c mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into 3 groups, 20 mice in each group, and the tachyzoites of RH strain and ME49 strain were injected intraperitoneally into the two groups respectively. 6 The third group was the healthy control group, and the infection of parasites was determined by Giemsa staining method and blood smear DNA method.

Embodiment 2

[0018] Example 2 plasma total RNA extraction

[0019] 72 hours after infection, the anticoagulant blood of all mice was obtained by taking blood from the eyeball. Centrifuge the anticoagulated blood at room temperature at 1200g / min for 10 minutes, take the supernatant and then centrifuge at 12000g / min at 4°C for 10 minutes, and take the supernatant as the processed plasma sample.

[0020] Extraction of plasma total RNA using mirVana TM miRNAIsolationKit (Ambion, USA) kit, the synthesized cel-miR-39 is added to the plasma as an external reference, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0021] 1. Add 600 μL 2×DenaturingSolution to every 600 μL plasma, mix well, and incubate on ice for 5 minutes.

[0022] 2. Add 1200 μL phenol chloroform, vortex for 1 minute, and centrifuge at 10000 g / min for 5 minutes.

[0023] 3. Take the supernatant and add 1.25 times the volume of ethanol, filter the mixture through a column, centrifuge at 10000g / min for 30 seconds, and discard the filte...

Embodiment 3

[0027] The establishment of embodiment 3 reverse transcription and Q-PCR system

[0028] 1. Reverse transcription

[0029] 50 ng of total RNA was reverse-transcribed using the miScriptII ReverseTranscription kit (Qiagen, Germany). The reaction system is shown in Table 1. The liquid was mixed and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, then kept in a water bath at 95°C for 5 minutes, and kept at -20°C for a long time.

Abstract

The invention discloses identified mmu-miR-217-5p capable of detecting toxoplasma gondii infection. In a toxoplasma gondii infected mouse model, cDNA (complementary deoxyribonucleic acid) is obtained by extracting general RNA (ribonucleic acid) of plasma and inversely transcribing; high-expression mmu-miR-217-5p is screened by adopting a Q-PCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) technology, is remarkably related to toxoplasma gondii infection, and can be used as identified miRNA for toxoplasmosis diagnosis. The mmu-miR-217-5p is used as a marker to establish a Q-PCR detection method of toxoplasma gondii infection, has relatively high sensitivity and specificity, provides a reliable detection basis and quick detection method to clinical diagnosis for toxoplasmosis, and has an important clinical application value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a marker mmu-miR-217-5p capable of detecting infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Background technique [0002] Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite. The first human case was reported in 1908. It was discovered at the same time as animal toxoplasmosis. About 500 to 1 billion people in the world are infected with toxoplasmosis. Humans have been fighting against this disease for more than a century, but the disease is still around the world. raging. In my country, about 80,000 to 90,000 newborns are born every year due to damage caused by Toxoplasma gondii. The abnormal productivity of women infected with Toxoplasma gondii is three times that of normal pregnant women, resulting in teratogenic and stillbirth. WHO and US CDC have regarded toxoplasmosis as an indicative disease of AIDS. [0003] At present, it is believed that the Toxoplasma gondii isolated ...
