Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food safety detection, and relates to a method and application of detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus based on prokaryotic Argonaute protein. Background Art
[0002] Vibrio parahaemolyticus ( Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vp ) is a Gram-negative halophilic bacterium. Eating raw or undercooked aquatic products is very likely to cause infection with Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The typical clinical symptoms of Vibrio parahaemolyticus are gastroenteritis, diarrhea, etc., and in severe cases, it can lead to sepsis. At present, the main methods for detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus generally include pre-enrichment, selective culture medium separation, pure culture, biochemical reaction and serotyping. The whole process generally takes 5 to 7 days.
[0003] The development of nucleic acid molecular detection technology has greatly shortened the detection cycle of foodborne pathogens, but PCR detection requires expensive thermal cycling equipment, which limits the application of this technology to a certain extent. Isothermal amplification technology can complete the rapid and effective amplification of DNA at a constant temperature without the need for time-consuming thermal cycling steps. Compared with other nucleic acid amplification technologies, loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) has the advantages of being fast, efficient, low-cost and does not require dedicated equipment. At present, the detection methods of LAMP products mainly include electrophoresis, turbidity, and dye methods, which have problems such as long time consumption, false positives, and low specificity. In recent years, a variety of nucleic acid detection methods have been developed using programmable nuclease technology, namely diagnostic technology based on the CRISPR / Cas system. However, there are still many problems with CRISPR / Cas technology, such as the high cost and instability of guide RNA, the inherent off-target nature of Cas effector proteins, and the strict reliance on the targeting mechanism of the protospacer sequence adjacent motif, which largely limits its scope of application. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a Vibrio parahaemolyticus detection method that can meet the detection needs of both on-site and laboratory and can further improve the detection specificity and sensitivity. Summary of the invention

[0037] Example 1: Establishment of LAMP detection method
[0038] 1.1 LAMP primer design
[0039] Based on the conserved region of the specific target gene of Vibrio parahaemolyticus, LAMP primers were designed using the online software PrimerExplorer V5. All primers were synthesized by Nanjing GenScript Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The specific primer sequences are as follows:
[0040] External primer F3: 5′-TCTTGGTGAGGAAATCATGCA-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 1);
[0041] External primer B3: 5′-CCTTACTGTTCCCATTCTTCTCG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 2);
[0042] Inner Primer FIP:
[0043] 5'-TTCCTGGCGTTCCGTTGGTGACAAACGTCGCTCTGGATG-3' (SEQ ID NO: 3);
[0044] Inner Primer BiP:
[0045] 5'-GGTCGCGGCACGACCATTTTGAAGGGCAAACCATCGGC-3' (SEQ ID NO: 4).
[0046] 1.2 Reaction conditions and system optimization
[0047] The reaction temperature, inner primer concentration, Mg 2+ The parameters such as concentration, dNTPs concentration, and amount of Bst 3.0 DNA polymerase added were optimized. In addition, the saturated fluorescent dye Syto 9 Green was added to achieve real-time monitoring of the entire reaction process.
[0048] Reaction temperature optimization: The initial temperature was 64.8 °C, and the experimental setting temperatures were 62.5 °C, 64.8 °C, 67.9 °C, and 69 °C. The optimal reaction temperature was determined by fluorescence curve analysis. Figure 1 As shown in A in the figure, the peak time of the fluorescence curve is earlier at 64.8 ℃, 67.9 ℃, and 69 ℃, and the peak time of the fluorescence curve is the latest at 62.5 ℃. In order to ensure the specificity of the amplified product, 69 ℃ was selected as the optimal reaction temperature for LAMP detection.
[0049] Optimization of inner primer concentration: Keep the outer primer concentration unchanged and set the inner primer concentration to 0.8 µM, 1.2 µM, 1.6 µM, and 2.0 µM. Figure 1As shown in Figure B, there is no significant difference in the peak time of the fluorescence curve between different concentrations of internal primers (FIP / BIP). Compared with the final concentrations of internal primers of 0.8 µM, 1.6 µM, and 2.0 µM, the peak time was slightly earlier at 1.2 µM, so 1.2 µM was selected as the optimal internal primer concentration for LAMP detection.
[0050] Mg 2+ Concentration optimization: Setting Mg 2+ The concentrations are 4 mM, 6 mM, 8 mM, and 10 mM. Figure 1 It can be seen from the C in that as Mg 2+ As the concentration increases, the peak time of the fluorescence curve gradually increases, indicating that too much Mg 2+ will inhibit the amplification efficiency of the LAMP reaction, therefore, 4 mM Mg 2+ It is the optimal concentration for LAMP detection system.
[0051] Optimization of dNTPs concentration: set the dNTPs concentration to 1.0 mM, 1.4 mM, 1.8 mM, and 2.0 mM. Figure 1 D in the figure shows that when the dNTPs concentration is less than 1.4 mM or greater than 1.8 mM, the peak time of the fluorescence curve is delayed, indicating that the LAMP reaction is inhibited to varying degrees. When the dNTPs concentration is 1.4 mM, the peak time is the earliest, so 1.4 mM is selected as the optimal dNTPs concentration for LAMP detection.
[0052] Optimization of Bst 3.0 DNA polymerase addition amount: Set the Bst 3.0 DNA polymerase addition amount to 0.5 µL (160 U / mL), 0.75 µL (240 U / mL), 1 µL (320 U / mL), and 1.25 µL (400 U / mL). Figure 1 As shown in Figure E, when the concentration of BstDNA polymerase is 240-400 U / mL, the peak time of the fluorescence curve is close and the curve is smooth, while when the concentration is less than 240 U / mL, the peak time is significantly delayed. Considering the amplification efficiency and economic cost, 240 U / mL is selected as the optimal Bst DNA polymerase concentration for LAMP detection.
[0053] 1.3 Determining the optimal conditions for LAMP detection
[0054] The reaction system was as follows: 2.5 μL of 10×Isothermal Amplification Buffer II, 1 μL of MgSO4 (100 mM), 3.5 μL of dNTP Mix (10 mM), 3 μL of inner primers FIP and BIP (10 μM), 0.5 μL of outer primers F3 and B3 (10 μM), 0.75 μL of Bst 3.0 DNA Polymerase (8000 U / mL), 2 μL of nucleic acid to be tested, and ddH2O was added to make up to 25 μL. The reaction conditions were 69 °C for 30 min.
[0055] Embodiment 2: Pf Establishment of Ago cleavage method
[0056] 2.1 Screening of gDNAs
[0057] 8 pairs of gDNAs (gF and gT) were designed for LAMP amplification products. Pf Ago cuts one single strand of the double-stranded DNA to obtain a single-stranded DNA with a 5' phosphate group, which is the newly generated gDNA (gN). Pf Ago targeted cleavage of complementary fluorescent probes, and the fluorescent signal generated by the reaction was detected. Among them, the fluorescent probe Pb1 was used in combination with gF1-gT1, gF2-gT2, gF3-gT3, and gF4-gT4; the fluorescent probe P2 was used in combination with gF5-gT5, gF6-gT6, gF7-gT7, and gF8-gT8. The gDNAs and fluorescent probes used were synthesized by Nanjing GenScript Biotechnology Co., Ltd., as shown in Table 1.
[0058] Table 1 gDNAs and fluorescent probes for detecting Vibrio parahaemolyticus
[0059]
[0060] First, the eight pairs of gDNAs were Pf Ago cleavage reaction, taking into account the fluorescence generation rate and fluorescence intensity, to determine the best gDNAs. Figure 2 As shown, different gDNAs mediate Pf The rate of fluorescence signal generation by Ago cleavage reaction varies greatly, among which gF5 / gT5, gF8 / gT8 and gF1 / gT1 can reach the highest fluorescence intensity within 10 min. It can be seen that gF5 / gT5 has higher cleavage efficiency and fluorescence intensity, so gF5 / gT5 is selected as the best gDNAs.
[0061] 2.2 Reaction system optimization
[0062] Add 10 U / µL, 20 U / µL, 40 U / µL, 80 U / µL of the final concentration into the 20 µL reaction system. Pf Ago, MnCl2 at a final concentration of 0.5 mM, 1 mM, 2 mM, 4 mM, gDNAs at a final concentration of 0.5 µM, 1 µM, 2 µM, 4 µM, fluorescent probes at a final concentration of 0.5 µM, 1 µM, 2 µM, 3 µM, and finally 2 µL of LAMP product was added and mixed. The reaction was performed at 95 °C for 15 min, during which 15 cycles were set up, and the fluorescence value was monitored for each cycle (minute).
[0063] Optimization of the amount of LAMP amplification product: Figure 3 As shown in A, when the amount of amplification product was 1 μL and 2 μL, the fluorescence signal values of both were high; in contrast, the peak time of the 2 μL amplification product was shorter, and it entered the plateau phase after 10 min of reaction. When the amount of amplification product was increased to 3 μL and 4 μL, the peak time was shortened, but the fluorescence signal value decreased. Considering the fluorescence signal value and peak time, the amount of LAMP amplification product was determined to be 4 μL.
[0064] Pf Optimization of Ago enzyme addition: Figure 3 From B in the figure, we can see that when Pf When the Ago enzyme concentration was 10 U / μL and 20 U / μL, there was no significant difference in the peak time between the two. Pf When the Ago enzyme concentration was 20 U / μL, the fluorescence signal value was higher and entered the plateau phase after 10 min of reaction. Pf When the Ago enzyme concentration increased to 40 U / μL and 80 U / μL, the peak time was slightly prolonged and the fluorescence signal value decreased. Therefore, 20 U / μL was selected as Pf Optimal enzyme concentration for Ago cleavage reaction.
[0065] Optimization of gDNA concentration: Figure 3 As shown in C, as the amount of gDNAs added increases, the reaction peak time gradually shortens. When the gDNAs concentration is 1 μM and 2 μM, it can enter the plateau phase within 10 min; in contrast, the fluorescence signal value of the 2 μM added concentration is higher, so 2 μM is selected as Pf Optimal gDNA concentration for Ago cleavage reaction.
[0066] MnCl2 concentration optimization: Figure 3 As shown in D, as the concentration of MnCl2 increases, the peak time of the fluorescence curve gradually increases, indicating that too much MnCl2 cannot improve PfAgo cleavage reaction efficiency. When the MnCl2 concentration is 1 mM, the reaction peak time is the earliest, so 1 mM MnCl2 is selected as the optimal concentration of the cleavage system.
[0067] Optimization of fluorescent probe addition: Figure 3 As shown in E, with the increase of the amount of probe added, the fluorescence signal value gradually increased, but the peak time was slightly prolonged. The peak time of 0.5 μM and 1 μM additions was shorter, and the reaction entered the plateau phase within 10 min. Considering the fluorescence signal intensity and detection cost, 1 μM fluorescent probe was selected as the optimal concentration of the cleavage system.
[0068] 2.3 Determination Pf Optimal conditions for Ago cleavage
[0069] The reaction system was as follows: 2 μL of gDNA gF5 and gT5 (20 μM), 1 μL of probe Pb2 (20 μM), 0.5 μL of MnCl2 (40 mM), 10× Pf Ago Endonuclease Reaction Buffer 2 μL, Pf 2 μL of Ago Endonuclease (200 U / μL), 4 μL of LAMP product, add ddH2O to make up to 20 μL. The reaction conditions are 95 ℃, 15 min.
[0070] Example 3: LAMP- Pf Ago specificity validation
[0071] The genomic DNA of 16 positive strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and 12 negative strains of non-Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Table 2) preserved in our laboratory was used as template and the LAMP- Pf Ago method was used for detection.

[0075] Method-specific test results such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, all 16 positive strains of Vibrio parahaemolyticus showed amplification curves, while the other 12 negative strains did not produce fluorescence curves, indicating that the constructed LAMP- Pf The Ago method has good specificity.
[0076] Example 4: LAMP- Pf Ago Sensitivity Verification
[0077] Take the bacterial solution cultured to the logarithmic growth phase and dilute it 10 times to 10 with sterile saline. -8 Each gradient dilution was boiled to extract DNA, and used as a template for LAMP- Pf Ago detection is used to determine the minimum detection limit of the method. -5 , 10 -6 and 10 -7 Three dilutions were counted and the experiment was set up in triplicate.
[0078] In LAMP- Pf In the sensitivity evaluation of the Ago method, the concentration of Vibrio parahaemolyticus was 5.47×10 7 CFU / mL, the concentration obtained by gradient dilution was 5.47×10 6 ~5.47 CFU / mL of bacterial solution. Figure 5 As shown in A, compared with the blank control, the bacterial concentration that produced the lowest fluorescent signal was 5.47 CFU / mL. At the same time, the reaction results were also observed by ultraviolet light ( Figure 5 In B), the positive reaction emits green fluorescence under ultraviolet irradiation, while the blank control does not emit fluorescence. It can be found that this method can clearly distinguish positive samples from negative samples and can be used for the qualitative detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus.
[0079] Example 5: Detection of artificially contaminated samples
[0080] Prepare salmon that has tested negative for Vibrio parahaemolyticus according to GB 4789.7-2013 "National Food Safety Standard - Microbiological Examination of Foods - Vibrio parahaemolyticus", weigh 25 g of the sample, and then add 10 2 ~10 8Prepare artificial contaminated samples by adding 2.5 mL of CFU / mL suspension of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Add 225 mL of 3% sodium chloride alkaline peptone water to the artificial contaminated samples, homogenize to prepare a 1:10 sample solution (the bacterial solution dilution ratio is 1:100 at this time), and shake culture at 36 ℃±1 ℃ for 0, 2, and 4 h. At the same time, add sterile water to the sample as a negative control. Pipette 1 mL of the homogenate into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, wash twice with sterile water, shake and mix, and then perform LAMP- Pf Ago detection.
[0081] As shown in Table 3, without culture, LAMP- Pf The minimum initial inoculum size that can be detected by the Ago method is 7.84×10 1 CFU / mL of target bacteria. After 2 h of culture, the initial inoculum size was 7.84×10 0 CFU / mL salmon samples can be detected. At the same time, it can be seen that the blank controls with culture time of 0, 2, and 4 h did not detect the target bacteria. In addition, without pre-enrichment, the detection limit of the actual sample is 1 order of magnitude higher than that of the pure culture, which may be due to the interference caused by various matrices in the actual sample. Therefore, in the actual sample detection, the appropriate pre-enrichment step can be selected according to the time requirements.
