Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the fields of aquaculture and molecular biology, and in particular to a method for evaluating the anti-hemorrhagic disease ability of grass carp based on multidimensional indicators of intestinal mucosal barrier. Background Art

[0002] In patent authorization number CN107318719B, Hunan Normal University successfully created gynogenetic grass carp. It also successfully bred disease-resistant grass carp by hybridizing gynogenetic grass carp as the female parent and common grass carp as the male parent. After years of breeding experiments, it was found that this important strain of disease-resistant grass carp has the advantages of fast growth, good meat quality, and strong disease resistance. It has been promoted and demonstrated in many places such as Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi, Hebei and Guangdong, and achieved good economic benefits.

[0003] However, in recent years, grass carp hemorrhagic disease is still the number one epidemic disease of grass carp, which has caused huge economic losses and seriously affected the healthy development of grass carp farming. Grass carp hemorrhagic disease is mainly caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV). Its pathogenesis is complex and is closely related to the immune system, genetic background and environmental factors of grass carp. Studies have shown that the strength of the intestinal mucosal barrier function directly affects the grass carp's resistance to viruses and recovery speed. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a method to effectively evaluate the intestinal mucosal barrier function of grass carp and then judge its ability to resist hemorrhagic disease. However, there is currently no report on the application of evaluating and comparing the intestinal mucosal barrier capacity after GCRV infection of common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp.

[0004] Traditional evaluation methods focus on one aspect of biomarkers, ignoring the complexity and dynamic changes of intestinal mucosal barrier function, reducing the accuracy and practicality of the evaluation. Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to more accurately predict and evaluate the ability of grass carp to resist hemorrhagic disease by innovatively establishing a comprehensive evaluation system based on multidimensional indicators of intestinal mucosal barrier.

[0005] The above-mentioned GCRV virus has been reported in the literature (Xu C, Qiao M, Huo X, Liao Z, Su J. An Oral Microencapsulated Vaccine Loaded by Sodium Alginate Effectively Enhances Protection Against GCRV Infection in Grass Carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Front. Immunol. 202213: 848958. doi: 10.3389 / fimmu.2022.848958). Summary of the invention

[0006] The present invention provides a method for evaluating the anti-hemorrhagic disease ability of grass carp based on multi-dimensional indices of intestinal mucosal barrier, and its purpose is to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the background technology.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for evaluating the anti-hemorrhagic disease ability of grass carp based on multidimensional indicators of intestinal mucosal barrier, taking grass carp (common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp) of different genetic backgrounds as the object, and by comparison, it is found that 48 hours after GCRV infection, the intestinal mucosal permeability of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp is significantly lower than that of common grass carp, the length of intestinal mucosal villi is significantly higher than that of common grass carp, the expression of intestinal mucosal ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1 is significantly higher than that of common grass carp, the expression of intestinal mucosal immune-related factors IL-22, MUC2, LEAP-2 and Hepcidin-1 is significantly higher than that of common grass carp, the diversity and abundance of intestinal flora are significantly higher than that of common grass carp, the concentrations of serum superoxide dismutase, catalase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase are significantly higher than those of common grass carp, and the content of liver and intestinal VP56 is significantly lower than that of common grass carp. Therefore, 15 days after GCRV infection, the survival rate of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp is significantly higher than that of common grass carp. The method covers a multi-level and three-dimensional evaluation system including analyzing the mechanical barrier (integrity of physical structure), immune barrier (local immune response), microbial barrier (balance of intestinal flora) and antioxidant barrier (free radical scavenging ability) of the intestinal mucosa of grass carp, and can accurately evaluate the strength of grass carp's ability to resist hemorrhagic disease. The present invention can provide a new method for evaluating grass carp's ability to resist hemorrhagic disease.

[0075] The following is a detailed description through specific embodiments.

[0076] Example 1

[0077] The application test to evaluate the intestinal mucosal barrier capacity of three grass carp species after GCRV infection included the following steps:

[0078] Step (1): Preparation of experimental animals

[0079] Selected healthy grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp, all weighing about 15g, and divided each grass carp into 2 groups, with 10 fish in each group. Before the formal experiment, the grass carp was allowed to adapt to the laboratory culture environment for more than 1 week to keep its physiological state stable. Grouping information is shown in Table 1 below:

[0080] Table 1 Experimental animal grouping information of this embodiment 1

[0081]

[0082] Step (2): GCRV infection

[0083] For each designated GCRV infection group, GCRV infection was performed by intraperitoneal injection with an injection volume of 100 μL and an injection concentration of 1.0×10 7 TCID 50 mL -1 The normal group consisted of normal grass carp without any treatment.

[0084] Step (3): Overall evaluation of grass carp intestinal mucosal permeability

[0085] 48 hours after the above step (2), the plasma of the normal group and the GCRV infection group was collected. The concentration changes of LPS and D-lactic acid, markers of intestinal mucosal permeability, in the plasma were detected using LPS and D-lactic acid kits. The experimental results showed that there was no difference in the concentrations of plasma LPS and D-lactic acid in the normal group. However, after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the concentrations of plasma LPS and D-lactic acid in common grass carp were significantly higher than those in gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 1 These results showed that after GCRV infection, the intestinal mucosal permeability of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp was significantly lower than that of common grass carp, indicating that the intestinal mucosal barrier capacity of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp was higher than that of common grass carp.

[0086] Step (4): HE staining of grass carp intestinal mucosa tissue

[0087] 48 hours after the above step (2), the intestines of the normal group and the GCRV-infected group were collected and preserved in 4% paraformaldehyde. Afterwards, according to the method for making paraffin sections, the tissues were dehydrated, waxed, embedded, and sliced ​​to prepare tissue sections. According to the instructions of the HE staining kit, the intestinal sections were stained with HE. The staining results were photographed and the length of the intestinal villi was counted using an optical microscope. The experimental results showed that there was no difference in the length of the intestinal mucosal villi in the normal group. However, after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the length of the intestinal mucosal villi of common grass carp was significantly lower than that of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 2 shown.

[0088] Step (5): Evaluation test of the mechanical barrier of the intestinal mucosa of grass carp

[0089] 48 hours after the above step (2), the intestines of the normal group and the GCRV infection group were collected and stored in liquid nitrogen. The intestinal cDNA was obtained using the instructions of the total RNA extraction kit and the reverse transcription reagent. Using the primers in Table 2 and the above-synthesized cDNA as the PCR template, the PCR reaction system for detecting the expression of intestinal tight junction molecules (ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1) was prepared according to the instructions of the qRT-PCR SYBRMix kit, and 18SrRNA was used as the internal reference gene. Afterwards, PCR was performed on the QuantStudio 5 real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR system (purchased from ABI, USA), and the qRT-PCR program was set as follows: 95°C, pre-denaturation for 30 seconds; 95°C denaturation for 10 seconds, 60°C reaction for 30 seconds, for a total of 40 cycles. After the reaction, 2 -△△t The experimental results showed that after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the expression of ZO-1, Occludin and Claudin-1 in the intestinal mucosa of common grass carp was significantly lower than that of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 3 shown.

[0090] Step (6): Evaluation test of grass carp intestinal mucosal immune barrier

[0091] The cDNA obtained in the above step (5) was used as a PCR template, and the primers in Table 2 were used to detect the expression changes of intestinal mucosal immune-related factors IL-22, MUC2, LEAP-2 and Hepcidin-1 using qRT-PCR SYBRMix. The PCR reaction was the same as the above step (5), and 18SrRNA was used as the internal reference gene. The experimental results showed that after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the expression of IL-22, MUC2, LEAP-2 and Hepcidin-1 in the intestinal mucosa of common grass carp was significantly lower than that of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 4 shown.

[0092] Step (7): Evaluation test of grass carp intestinal mucosal microbial barrier

[0093] 48 hours after the above step (2), the intestines of the normal group and the GCRV infection group were collected and stored in liquid nitrogen. Afterwards, the 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology was used to analyze the changes in the microbiota of each sample. The experimental results showed that after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the diversity and abundance of the intestinal flora of common grass carp were significantly lower than those of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 5 shown.

[0094] Step (8): Evaluation test of the antioxidant barrier of grass carp intestinal mucosa

[0095] 48 hours after the above step (2), the serum of the normal group and the GCRV infection group was collected. The concentration changes of the four key antioxidant enzymes in the serum were detected using superoxide dismutase, catalase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase kits. The experimental results showed that there was no difference in the concentrations of serum superoxide dismutase, catalase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase in the normal group. However, after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the concentrations of superoxide dismutase, catalase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase in the serum of common grass carp were significantly lower than those in the serum of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 6 shown.

[0096] Step (9): Application test to analyze the differences in viral loads in three grass carp species infected with GCRV

[0097] 48 hours after the above step (2), the livers and intestines of the normal group and the GCRV infection group were collected and stored in liquid nitrogen. The cDNA of the liver and intestine was obtained using the instructions of the total RNA extraction kit and the reverse transcription reagent. The primers in Table 2 were used to detect the expression changes of VP56, an important gene of GCRV, using qRT-PCR SYBR Mix. The PCR reaction was the same as the above step (5), with 18SrRNA as the internal reference gene. The experimental results showed that after common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp were infected with GCRV, the content of VP56 in the liver and intestine of common grass carp was significantly higher than that in the liver and intestine of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (Mann-Whitney test, P﹤0.01). Figure 7 shown.

[0101] Example 2

[0102] The application test to analyze the differences in survival rates of three grass carp infected with GCRV specifically includes the following steps:

[0103] Step (1): Preparation of experimental animals

[0104] Select healthy common grass carp, gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp, all weighing about 15g, and divide each grass carp into 2 groups, with 20 fish in each group. Before the formal experiment, let the grass carp adapt to the laboratory breeding environment for more than 1 week to keep its physiological state stable. Grouping information is shown in Table 3 below:

[0105] Table 3 Experimental animal grouping information of this embodiment 2

[0106]

[0107] Step (2): GCRV infection

[0108] For each designated GCRV infection group, GCRV infection was performed by intraperitoneal injection with an injection volume of 100 μL and an injection concentration of 1.0×10 7 TCID 50 mL -1 The normal group consisted of normal grass carp without any treatment.

[0109] Step (3): Analyze survival rate

[0110] After the above step (2), the observation was continued for 15 days, the number of grass carp deaths was counted every day, and the survival rate of grass carp infected with GCRV was analyzed. The experimental results showed that after 15 days, the survival rates of gynogenetic grass carp and disease-resistant grass carp (45% and 40%, respectively) were significantly higher than the survival rate of ordinary grass carp (10%). Figure 8 (Log-rank test, P﹤0.01) as shown.

[0111] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention.
