Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological preparation detection, and in particular relates to a method for detecting common contamination indicator bacteria in MSC preparations. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of biotechnology, emerging biological products have provided possibilities for preventing and treating diseases, enhancing immune function, and delaying aging. As emerging drug preparations with living cells as carriers, cell preparations can utilize the active tropism, low immunogenicity, and deformability of living cells to achieve efficient retention of drugs in the body and effective enrichment of target sites, and have broad application prospects for the treatment of targeted diseases. At present, the research on living cell carriers is mostly focused on stem cells, T cells, monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, red blood cells, and platelets. Different cell carriers are selected according to needs. Among them, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have become a research boom in the field of cytology because of their multidirectional differentiation, immune regulation, delaying aging, and disease treatment. However, MSC preparations often have the hidden danger of microbial contamination. Once MSC preparations are infected with pathogenic microorganisms, they will cause the MSC preparations to deteriorate at the least, and induce inflammatory reactions at the worst, which seriously threatens the health of patients.
[0003] MSC preparations strictly control the number of microorganisms (≤100 CFU / mL), but the poor timeliness of microbial detection has become a key factor restricting the release and clinical application of cell preparations. The classic sterility detection method is time-consuming and cannot detect the contamination status of cell preparations in real time. The detection data is seriously lagging, which is difficult to meet the risk assessment system of modern medicine. With the rapid development of molecular biology, PCR identification technology has been widely used in sterility detection. This method is not only highly sensitive and broad-spectrum, but also can greatly shorten the detection time. However, the establishment of this method is based on the premise of obtaining a stable genome; bacteria and fungi are the main sources of microbial contamination in cell preparations, and their simple genomes are difficult to obtain, which seriously hinders the application of PCR detection. Therefore, exploring a method that can stably extract the genome of contaminating bacteria in infected MSC preparations plays an important foundation for the sterility detection of cell preparations. Summary of the invention
[0004] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting bacterial contamination in MSC preparations, the method comprising the following steps:
[0005] (1) After centrifugation of 0.8-1.2 mL of the sample to be tested, discard the supernatant;
[0006] (2) Add 0.8-1.2 mL of Lysis Buffer I, mix well, and place on ice for 15-25 min;
[0007] (3) After centrifugation, discard the supernatant;
[0008] (4) Add 700-900 μL DPBS and 15-25 μL proteinase K, mix well and place in a metal bath at 36-38°C for 25-35 min;
[0009] (5) After centrifugation, discard the supernatant;
[0010] (6) Add 0.8-1.2 mL ddH2O, mix well, centrifuge, and discard the supernatant;

[0014] (10) The supernatant obtained after centrifugation is the DNA template;
[0015] (11) Perform PCR amplification on the DNA template obtained in step (10) using primers SEQ ID NO.1-2. If a 1500 bp band can be amplified, it can be determined that at least one of the following bacteria is mixed in the sample to be tested:
[0016] Staphylococcus albus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium sporogenes.
[0017] Preferably, the volume of the sample to be tested in step (1) is 1 mL.
[0018] More preferably, the volume of the lysate I in step (2) is 1 mL.
[0019] More preferably, in step (4), the amount of DPBS added is 800 μL, the amount of proteinase K added is 20 μL, and after mixing, the mixture is placed in a metal bath at 37° C. for 30 min.
[0020] More preferably, the amount of ddH2O used in steps (6) and (7) is 1 mL.
[0021] More preferably, in step (8), the amount of lysate II used is 50 μL, and after mixing and centrifugation, the mixture is placed in a metal bath at 80° C. for 20 min.
[0022] More preferably, in step (9), a 100° C. metal bath is performed for 5 minutes, and an ice bath is performed for 5 minutes.
[0023] A second object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting fungal contamination in MSC preparations, omitting step (9) and replacing step (11) with the following operation, and the remaining steps are the same as above:
[0024] The DNA template obtained in step (10) is amplified by PCR using primers SEQ ID NO.3-4. If a band of 500-750 bp can be amplified, it can be determined that at least one of the following fungi is mixed in the sample to be tested:
[0025] Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger.
[0026] The third object of the present invention is to provide an application of the above method for detecting bacterial contamination in MSC preparations to detect whether bacterial contamination occurs in MSC preparations.
[0027] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide an application of the above method for detecting fungal contamination in MSC preparations to detecting whether fungal contamination occurs in MSC preparations.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] (2) High detection sensitivity: This method is based on the PCR detection method and can sensitively amplify the target fragment of the genome of the contaminating indicator bacteria, which is more conducive to the release detection of MCS preparations.
[0031] (3) The operation requirements and costs are significantly reduced. Compared with the fluorescence quantitative PCR method, this method is easy to obtain materials, the operation process is less affected by external factors, and is more suitable for the clinical application and promotion of MSC preparations.
