Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of molecular biology, and relates to a bacteriophage nucleic acid extraction technology, in particular to a centrifugal column method-based bacteriophage nucleic acid extraction method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bacteriophage is a kind of virus that can specifically infect bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and other microorganisms, and is a biological entity composed of a layer of protein or lipid protein composed of an internal nucleic acid composed of a shell, widely distributed in soil, water, air or plants and animals, etc. Various environments, its bactericidal mechanism to bacteria is mainly mediated by host strain cell lysis of lytic bacteriophage, after adsorption and infection, lytic bacteriophage can use the host bacteria biosynthesis mechanism, finally make the host bacteria cell lysis and death and release the progeny bacteriophage, it was successfully applied to the treatment of bacterial infection in humans and animals in the early 1920s, but the large-scale application of antibiotics slowed down the development of bacteriophage therapy. Bacteriophage has high and strict host specificity, and almost does not affect human or animal cells while mediating the rapid lysis and death of host bacteria, showing high biological safety, at the same time, as an important member of the micro-ecological environment, it is involved in various aspects of maintaining the stability of the micro-ecosystem, and faces the difficulties of antibiotic resistance spread, and the application of bacteriophage and its derivatives as a potential alternative therapy for antibiotics has again attracted widespread attention from researchers.

[0003] In order to clarify the mechanism behind the bacteriophage biology characteristics, and guide the development of new therapies and antibacterial drugs, the extraction of bacteriophage genomic nucleic acid sequence is essential in many studies. Bacteriophage genome information can reveal its internal mechanisms such as infection mechanism, gene function, drug resistance, host specificity, etc. Before carrying out modification, synthesis of new artificial bacteriophages or biological component delivery research using bacteriophage vectors based on genetic engineering and synthetic biology strategies, the genomic information of bacteriophage must be understood in detail. Due to the similarity between bacteriophage and eukaryotic viruses, the conventional bacteriophage nucleic acid sequence extraction method mainly relies on commercial viral extraction kits. The most critical step in these kits is to use protease K (such as DNA Viral Genome Extraction Kit; Solarbio, D2400) or OBProtease Solution (such as E.Z.N.A. Viral DNA Kit; Omega, D3892) to lyse bacteriophage coat proteins, expose internal nucleic acids, and use silica-based nucleic acid adsorption columns to adsorb nucleic acids, then rinse multiple times to achieve the purpose of purifying and recovering bacteriophage nucleic acids. The initial purpose of developing these kits is to extract eukaryotic viral genomes. Although there is some similarity between the enrichment and purification of eukaryotic viruses and bacteriophage research, the operation of bacteriophage enrichment and purification is much simpler than that of eukaryotic viruses. The standard steps provided in commercial kits can be reasonably simplified when applied to bacteriophage nucleic acid extraction. In addition, the commonly used protease K and OB Protease Solution have a high loss rate and are relatively expensive, which is not conducive to their widespread application in bacteriophage research to some extent.

[0004] Currently, there is no patent scheme for bacteriophage nucleic acid extraction and few commercial schemes. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a simple, efficient and low-cost bacteriophage nucleic acid extraction method for bacteriophage and its derivatives research. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for extracting bacteriophage nucleic acid based on centrifugal column method, which overcomes the problem of high loss rate and high price of current bacteriophage extraction kits.

[0006] The present application is realized by the following technical scheme: a method for extracting bacteriophage nucleic acid based on centrifugal column method, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) Take 1 mL of bacteriophage enrichment solution, mix it with an equal volume of denaturing lysis solution, invert and mix well, and stand at room temperature for 3 min;

[0008] (2) Take 1.6 mL denaturation buffer, mix with the solution of the previous step, gently turn up and down for 6-10 times, place at room temperature for 5 min, then centrifuge at 13000 r / min for 10 min at 4℃, and carefully take the supernatant;

[0010] (4) Add 600 μL rinse solution to the adsorption column, centrifuge at 12000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃, and discard the waste liquid;

[0011] (5) Repeat step (4) once;

[0012] (6) Centrifuge the adsorption column at 12000 r / min at 4℃ for 2 min, open the cover, and place at room temperature for 5 min to remove the residual rinse solution;

[0013] (7) Put the adsorption column into a clean centrifuge tube, add 50 μL sterilized deionized water to the center of the adsorption membrane, place at room temperature for 5 min, and centrifuge at 12000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃;

[0014] (8) The eluate obtained by centrifugation is again put into a new adsorption column, stand at room temperature for 2 min, centrifuge at 12000 r / min for 2 min at 4℃, and the phage genomic DNA can be obtained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with specific examples and comparative examples, but should not be understood as limitations to the present application. Examples

[0030] This example will specifically show the specific operation process and steps of purifying and enriching the phages before extracting the phage nucleic acid.

[0031] Strains, reagents and media involved in the examples:

[0032] The phages used in the experiments were T7 phage standard strain (purchased from Beina Biological Technology Co., Ltd., item number: BNCC358500; Genbank accession number: NC_001604.1), T4-like phage P9 (preserved in the laboratory; Genbank accession number: MT630408.1), T7-like phage Q5 (preserved in the laboratory; Genbank accession number: MZ833439.1) and N4-like phage PWJ (preserved in the laboratory; Genbank accession number: OR237807.1). The phage plaque morphology is shown in Figure 1 to Figure 4 .

[0033] The strains used in the experiments were Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) (T7 phage standard strain host bacteria, purchased from Shengong Bioengineering (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., item number: B528414), Escherichia coli C600 (phage P9, Q5 host bacteria, preserved in the laboratory) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 (phage PWJ host bacteria, preserved in the laboratory).

[0034] LB nutrient agar medium (1 L): weigh 40 g of LB agar medium, dissolve in 1 L of deionized water, sterilize at 121℃ for 20 min and prepare for use.

[0035] LB broth medium (1 L): weigh 21 g of LB broth medium, dissolve in 1 L of deionized water, sterilize at 121℃ for 20 min and prepare for use.

[0036] 0.7% semi-solid medium (1 L): weigh 21 g of LB broth medium and 7.0 g of agar powder, dissolve in 1 L of deionized water, sterilize at 121℃ for 20 min and prepare for use.

[0037] Phage recovery and enrichment:

[0038] Take out the phage preservation solution frozen at -20℃, recover to room temperature, and then take 100 μL and mix with 100 μL of the logarithmic growth phase culture of the host bacteria in 5 mL of LB broth medium. Incubate at 37℃ and 150 r / min for 18 h. After the incubation, centrifuge the culture at 4℃ and 5000 r / min for 15 min. Take the supernatant and pass it through a 0.22 μm filter. The obtained filtrate is the phage enrichment solution.

[0039] Gradient dilute the phage enrichment solution to an appropriate multiple (in this experiment, the dilution multiple is selected to be 10 -8 ). Use the double-layer plate method to purify the phage. Take 100 μL of the diluted phage suspension and mix with 100 μL of the corresponding host bacteria liquid in 5 mL of semi-solid medium. Uniformly spread on the previously prepared LB nutrient agar medium plate and incubate at 37℃ for 6-12 h. During the incubation, observe intermittently. After observing the appearance of single transparent and uniform phage plaques, stop the incubation and pick the single phage plaque. Mix with 100 μL of the logarithmic growth phase culture of the corresponding host bacteria in 5 mL of LB broth medium. Incubate at 37℃ and 150 r / min for 18 h. After the incubation, centrifuge the culture at 4℃ and 5000 r / min for 15 min. Take the supernatant and pass it through a 0.22 μm filter. The obtained filtrate is the phage purification enrichment solution.

[0040] Take 100 μL of the phage purification enrichment solution, gradient dilute to an appropriate multiple, and use the double-layer plate method again to count the phage plaques to convert the titer. In this study, it is calculated that the titer of the T7 phage standard strain used is 3.16×10 13 cfu / mL, the titer of the phage P9 is 1.79×10 13 cfu / mL, the titer of the phage Q5 is 4.5×10 13 cfu / mL, and the titer of the phage PWJ is 6.6×10 11 cfu / mL.

Figure 5 ).

[0059] According to the sequence information of the large subunit of the termination enzyme, four detection primers were designed and synthesized (Shanghai Genechem Co., Ltd.), and the nucleic acid extracted in Example 2 was used as a template for PCR detection.

[0065] This example illustrates the Solarbio centrifugal column method virus nucleic acid extraction kit.

[0066] According to the nucleic acid extraction process in the specification as follows:

[0067] I. Take 0.5 mL of virus supernatant, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 5 min, and try to aspirate the supernatant, discard the precipitate.

[0068] II. Add 20 μL of proteinase K to the virus supernatant, mix well, digest at 65°C for 10-20 min, and mix well several times during the period.

[0069] ​III. Add 500 μL of Solution V into the tube and mix well. Add 400 μL of absolute ethanol into the tube and mix well. At this time, there may be flocculent precipitate, which does not affect the extraction of DNA. Both the solution and the flocculent precipitate can be added into the adsorption column and stand for 2 min. (The maximum volume of the adsorption column is 750 μL, which can be added in two times. After the adsorption in the first time, the remaining solution can be added into the column, stand and centrifuge.)

[0070] IV. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, discard the waste liquid, and place the adsorption column into the collection tube.

[0071] V. Add 600 μL of rinsing solution (check whether absolute ethanol has been added before use) into the adsorption column, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid, and place the adsorption column into the collection tube.

[0072] VI. Add 600 μL of rinsing solution into the adsorption column, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min, discard the waste liquid, and place the adsorption column into the collection tube.

[0073] VII. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, and place the adsorption column into a room temperature or 50℃ incubator for several minutes. The purpose is to remove the residual rinsing solution in the adsorption column. Otherwise, the ethanol in the rinsing solution will affect the subsequent experiments such as enzyme digestion and PCR.

[0074] VIII. Place the adsorption column into a clean centrifuge tube, and add 50 μL-100 μL of elution solution preheated at 65℃ dropwise to the center of the adsorption membrane. Stand at room temperature for 5 min, and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min.

[0075] IX. Add the elution solution obtained by centrifugation into the adsorption column, stand at room temperature for 2 min, and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, to obtain high-quality viral genomic DNA.

[0076] The viral nucleic acid extraction reagent kit of Solarbio centrifugal column method uses proteinase K for nucleic acid extraction. In order to achieve the optimal enzymatic reaction condition, it is necessary to incubate at 65℃ for 10 min, and then add a buffer solution containing EDTA and SDS to precipitate the protein. The supernatant is then centrifuged for extraction. The present method uses a lysis buffer, which does not need to be heated and can be reacted at room temperature. The reaction time is shortened to 5 min. No buffer solution for precipitating protein is needed. The supernatant can be directly centrifuged for the next step, which is simple and easy to operate.

[0077] This example illustrates the viral nucleic acid extraction reagent kit of Omega centrifugal column method.

[0078] The nucleic acid extraction process according to the specification is as follows:

[0079] 1. Transfer the sample to a 2 mL centrifuge tube. If the volume is less than 250 μL, add 10 mM Tris-HCl or PBS buffer to make up the volume to 250 μL.

[0080] 2. Add 10 μL OB Protease Solution, 4 μL Linear Acrylamide and 250 μL BL Buffer, and vortex at high speed for 15 s to mix.

[0081] 3. Incubate in a water bath at 65°C for 10 minutes, gently vortexing once during the process.

[0082] 4. Add 260 μL of anhydrous ethanol, vortex for 20 seconds to mix thoroughly, and then briefly centrifuge to collect the droplets from the tube cap.

[0083] V. HiBind ® Insert DNA Mini Columns into the collection tube, transfer the mixture obtained in step 4 into the binding column, centrifuge at 8000 xg for 1 min at room temperature, and discard the filtrate and collection tube.

[0084] 6. Insert the HiBind® DNA Mini Columns into a new collection tube, add 500 μL of HBC Buffer (diluted with isopropanol) to the binding column, centrifuge at 8000 xg for 1 min, and discard the filtrate.

[0085] 7. Replace the HiBind® DNA Mini Columns back into the collection tube, add 700 μL of DNA Wash Buffer (diluted with anhydrous ethanol) to the binding column, centrifuge at 8000 xg for 1 min, and discard the filtrate.

[0086] 8. Repeat step 7.

[0087] 9. Put the HiBind® DNA Mini Columns back into the collection tube and centrifuge at 12000 xg for 2 min.

[0088] 10. Insert the HiBind® DNA Mini Columns into a new 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 50~100 μL of preheated 65℃ Elution Buffer to the binding column, incubate at room temperature for 5 min, and then centrifuge at 8000 xg for 1 min to elute the DNA.

[0089] 11. Repeat step 10 for a second elution, and store the product at -20℃.

[0090] The operation of the virus nucleic acid extraction kit based on the Omega centrifugal column method is complicated, and the steps are many, so it is not convenient for popularization and application.

[0091] According to the corresponding description, the phage nucleic acid extraction is carried out according to the scheme in Example 2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, and specific performance values are shown in Table 1:

[0092] Table 1 Comparison of phage nucleic acid extraction performance

[0093] Extraction method Storage method Required steps Required time Extraction times Cost price Remarks Example 2 All reagents can be stored at room temperature for a long time 8 steps 30~45 min 180 times 80~90 yuan None Control Example 1 Proteinase K needs to be stored at -20℃ for a long time, and the rest of the reagents can be stored at room temperature 9 steps 40~50 min 50 times 200~300 yuan None Control Example 2 OB Protease Solution needs to be stored at 4℃ for a long time, and the rest of the reagents can be stored at room temperature 11 steps 40~60 min 50 times 550~650 yuan Additional isopropyl alcohol needs to be added

[0094] Compared with Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, the present application uses urea instead of proteinase K, greatly reduces the price of consumables used for preparing reagents, and the cost of preparing 200 mL at a time is about 80 yuan, which is much lower than the cost of existing reagent kits, and the existing reagent kits can be used for about 50 times, while the reagent kit of the present application can extract about 180 times if 200 mL of lysis solution is prepared, the number of extraction times is increased, the cost is more economical, and it is convenient to use. The reagents used can be manually prepared and stored at room temperature for a long time, without the need to add other reagents, the extraction time is shorter, the nucleic acid extraction can be completed within 45 minutes, the number of extraction times is 3.6 times that of the reagent kit method, and it has the absolute advantages of short time and high efficiency.

[0095] In summary, the present application provides a phage nucleic acid extraction method based on the centrifugal column method, and is applied in PCR experiments, which saves the experimental cost on the basis of the commercial virus nucleic acid extraction kit, and can quickly extract phage nucleic acid for application in conventional molecular biology experiments.

(5) Repeat step (4) once; (6) Centrifuge the adsorption column at 4℃ and 12000 r / min for 2 min, open the cap and let it stand at room temperature for 5 min to remove the rinsing solution residue. (7) Place the adsorption column into a clean centrifuge tube, add 50 μL of sterile deionized water to the center of the adsorption membrane, place at room temperature for 5 min, and centrifuge at 12000 r / min for 1 min at 4℃. (8) The elution obtained by centrifugation is placed in a new adsorption column, placed at room temperature for 2 min, and centrifuged at 12000 r / min for 2 min at 4℃ to obtain phage genomic DNA.
