Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Lamb diarrhea is one of the most common diseases in intensive farms, which has existed for a long time in various countries in the world and has caused huge economic losses. F17 Escherichia coli is one of the main pathogenic bacteria causing lamb diarrhea, which has the characteristics of high detection rate and high mortality rate. However, the research on the immune regulation and anti-disease mechanism of sheep against F17 Escherichia coli infection is still insufficient. At present, the main means to prevent and treat lamb diarrhea is the use of antibiotics such as oxytetracycline and gentamicin, but the excessive use and abuse of veterinary drugs lead to the increasing drug resistance of Escherichia coli, and a large amount of drug residues also pose a threat to animal and human health, so disease-resistant breeding has become a better method to solve the problem of antibiotic residues.

[0003] As a non-coding RNA, lncRNA can play a regulatory role through transcription, post-transcription and epigenetic pathways, participate in the regulation of livestock diseases, and mediate bacterial immune responses. Therefore, based on the results of distinguishing resistant and susceptible individuals of lambs by F17 Escherichia coli infection in the previous stage, this study carries out whole transcriptome sequencing, screens differential expression lncRNA, and verifies its biological function at the cellular level to identify key lncRNA as a marker for sheep against F17 Escherichia coli infection, which provides a basis for future disease-resistant breeding of sheep.

[0086] Example 3 Determination of key lncRNA of sheep anti-F17 E. coli infection

[0087] (1) Resuscitation and culture of sheep small intestinal epithelial cells. The frozen tube containing sheep small intestinal epithelial cells was taken out from liquid nitrogen and quickly placed in a 37℃ constant temperature water bath for thawing. The cells were transferred to a sterile 2 mL centrifuge tube, and an equal volume of complete culture medium (containing 10% FBS and 1% double-antibiotic DMEM / F12) was added, and then mixed gently by blowing.

Then, the cells were transferred to a culture bottle, and 4 mL of complete culture medium was added. The culture bottle was placed in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator (5% CO2) for culture.

[0088] (2) Cell passage. When the cells grew to 80%-90% of the bottom of the culture bottle, the cell passage was performed. The culture medium in the culture bottle was discarded, and the PBS buffer (1×PBS solution containing 10% penicillin and streptomycin) was gently washed and discarded for 3 times. 1 mL of trypsin was added to digest the cells, and the cells were placed in a 37℃ constant temperature incubator (5% CO2) for 5 min.

The six-well plate was gently shaken to evenly distribute the cells, and then the plate was placed in the incubator for further culture.

[0089] ​(3) Resuscitation and culture of F17 E. coli. Liquid / solid LB medium (1% peptone, 0.5% yeast extract, 1% sodium chloride) was prepared, the pH value was adjusted to 7.2-7.5, and high-temperature sterilization was performed for 20 min. The solid LB medium needs to add 1.5% agar before sterilization, and pour into the flat plate culture dish under sterile conditions until solidification; F17 E. coli (glycerol bacteria) was transferred from -80°C to ice bath in an ice box; the inoculum ring was used to pick the strain and inoculate into the flat plate culture dish, 37°C, culture for 12 h. After picking the bacteria, the F17 E. coli (glycerol bacteria) should be returned to -80°C as soon as possible; use a sterilized gun head to pick a complete single colony in the flat plate culture dish and add it to a 2 mL sterilized centrifuge tube containing LB medium.

Starve the cells: when the sheep small intestinal epithelial cells in the culture bottle grow to 80%-90%, they are digested and inoculated into a 6-well culture plate (~1x105 per well) during the inoculation process. DMEM / F12 medium without FBS and antibiotics is used. Place the 6-well culture plate in a 37°C constant temperature incubator (5% CO2) for 8 h of starvation treatment. Divide the cells into an infection group and a control group, add F17 E. coli bacterial solution to the infection group at a multiplicity of infection MOI=100:1, and add the same volume of DMEM / F12 medium without FBS and antibiotics to the control group, and incubate in a 37°C constant temperature incubator (5% CO2) for 3 h.

[0123] The RT-qPCR reaction conditions were as follows: 95°C for 1 min; 95°C for 10 s, 60°C for 30 s, 40 cycles.

[0124] The expression level of the F17 E. coli pilus gene was detected by RT-qPCR, and the results are shown in Figure 6. Figure 7 As shown in Figure 6, the expression level of F17 E. coli in the pcDNA3.1(+) transfection group (empty vector group) was significantly higher than that in the LOC105604616-pcDNA3.1(+) transfection group (overexpression group) (P<0.01). In combination with the above experimental results, it is indicated that LOC105604616 can significantly improve the ability of sheep small intestinal epithelial cells to resist F17 E. coli infection, and further indicates that sheep individuals with high LOC105604616 expression have stronger resistance to F17 E. coli infection.

[0125] Example 5 Application of LOC105604616 in detecting the ability of sheep to resist F17 E. coli infection

[0126] (1) RNA extraction of the sample to be detected. Randomly select detection individuals in the sheep to be detected, collect small intestinal tissues, and extract RNA, and the specific method is shown in Example 1.

[0127] (2) The expression level of LOC105604616 in the sample to be detected is detected by fluorescence quantification. The primers of LOC105604616 provided by the present application are used to detect the expression level of the cDNA reverse transcribed from the RNA in (1) by fluorescence quantification, and the specific method is shown in Examples 2 and 3.

[0128] (3) The results of fluorescence quantification are analyzed. The expression level of LOC105604616 in each sample is obtained by using the 2^-△△Ct method, and the expression level data of the susceptible group and the antagonistic group are combined to determine the ability of each sample corresponding to the sheep individual to resist F17 E. coli infection.

[0129] The present application obtains the differential lncRNA of small intestinal tissues by sequencing, further screens the differential lncRNA by functional enrichment, randomly detects the differential expression lncRNA by RT-qPCR to verify the accuracy of the sequencing results, overexpresses the most significant differential LOC105604616 in small intestinal cells to detect the expression level of the LOC105604616 in the F17 E. coli infection / non-infection group, and verifies that the LOC105604616 can improve the ability of sheep small intestinal epithelial cells to resist F17 E. coli infection, and further finds that the LOC105604616 can be used as a marker, so that the ability of sheep to resist F17 E. coli infection can be determined.

[0130] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can understand and think of the transformation or replacement within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the inclusive scope of the present application, therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
