Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of methods for the determination or inspection of nucleic acids in biochemistry, and particularly relates to SNPs for identifying the original species of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don and their applications.

[0002] Cross - reference to related applications

[0003] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application (application number: 202410631567.2) with an application date of May 21, 2024, and the entire content of this patent application is incorporated herein by reference. Background Art

[0004] Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don is the dried bulb of the genus Fritillaria in the family Liliaceae and is one of the precious traditional Chinese medicines in China. The dried bulbs of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don var. cirrhosa, Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K. C. Hsia, Fritillaria przewalskii Maxim., Fritillaria delavayi Franch., Fritillaria taipaiensis P. Y. Li or Fritillaria wabuensis S. Y. Tang et S. C. Yueh are its sources. According to the differences in the medicinal properties, they are divided into "Songbei", "Qingbei", "Lubei" and "cultivated products". Fritillaria unibracteata Hsiao et K. C. Hsia is the main original plant of "Songbei"; "Qingbei" mainly comes from Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don var. cirrhosa, Fritillaria przewalskii Maxim. and Fritillaria taipaiensis P. Y. Li; the main original plant of "Lubei" is Fritillaria delavayi Franch.; Fritillaria wabuensis S. Y. Tang et S. C. Yueh is the main source of "cultivated products". Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don has significant medicinal effects but is very expensive. Therefore, at present, the phenomenon of using adulterated products similar to Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don in appearance but with lower prices and medicinal effects to冒充 Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don is endless. Also, because the quality of "Songbei" is better than that of "Qingbei", "Lubei" and "cultivated products", the phenomenon of using lower - quality Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don such as "Qingbei" to冒充 "Songbei" in the market is also common. And research shows that there are also significant differences in the content of active ingredients and the pharmacological effects of different original species of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don. These phenomena will seriously affect the clinical efficacy of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don and the reliability of scientific research, and will also seriously hinder the industrialization process of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don as a precious traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a method for quickly and accurately identifying the original species of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don.

[0005] At present, there are studies on the identification of the original plants, cut - pieces and Chinese patent medicines of traditional Chinese medicine Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don, including microscopic, physical and chemical, molecular and other methods. However, these studies mainly focus on the adulterated species of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don, and there are few relevant reports on the identification of its original species. There is a study that screened out a 100 - bp short sequence by comparing the 12S rRNA of humans and 12 animals, and successfully completed the identification of human and various animal hairs using the pyrosequencing method. This method has also been successfully used in the detection of rice mutants and the adulteration detection of Lonicera japonica Thunb., Alisma orientale (Sam.) Juz. etc. Therefore, developing a method for quantitatively detecting SNP locus variations based on the pyrosequencing technology can be used for the effective identification of different original species of Fritillaria cirrhosa D. Don. Summary of the Invention

[0105] Example 2: Identification of Fritillaria cirrhosa bulbs based on SNP site variations

[0106] The method for rapid identification of the original bulb of Fritillaria cirrhosa in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0107] (1) Three bulbs of each of the following species were collected from Haidong in Qinghai, Ganzi and Aba in Sichuan, Tianshui in Gansu, Shangri-La in Yunnan, and Baoji in Shaanxi: Fritillaria cirrhosa, Fritillaria thunbergii, Fritillaria purpurea, Fritillaria wabui, and Fritillaria taibai, for a total of 108 samples to be tested. The samples were sliced, dried, pulverized, and passed through a 100-mesh sieve. The powder was then sealed in a self-sealing bag for later use.

[0108] (2) Take 200 mg of each original species bulb powder sample, extract total DNA using the (Tiangen) high-efficiency plant genomic DNA extraction kit, detect DNA concentration and purity using NanoDrop 2000 micro spectrophotometer, and store at 4℃.

[0109] (3) Using the genomic DNA of the sample to be tested as a template, PCR amplification products were generated using the corresponding PCR amplification primers. First, SNP5 was detected to determine whether the sample to be tested was Fritillaria cirrhosa. Then, SNP1, SNP2, SNP3 and SNP4 were detected in the Fritillaria cirrhosa sample to determine the specific original species.

[0110] PCR reaction system (25 μL): 12.5 μL of 2×Taq Master Mix, 1 μL each of forward and reverse primers (10 μmol / L), 100 ng of DNA template, and the remainder is made up with sterile deionized water.

[0111] The PCR reaction procedures for each SNP site are shown in Table 2. The quality of the amplified PCR products was assessed using 1% agarose gel electrophoresis to verify the clarity and uniformity of the target band. A blank sample was added as a control during the experiment (see Table 2). Figure 1 ).

[0114]

[0115] The amplification products of the above-mentioned test samples were subjected to pyrosequencing using the five sets of primers for the five SNPs listed in Table 1, and the polymorphisms of SNP5, SNP1, SNP2, SNP3, and SNP4 were detected respectively.

[0116] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown:

[0117] Various test samples were amplified using PCR products amplified with primer pairs (SF1 / SR1) targeting the sequence including SNP5 (position 152 of the KT008138.1CP sequence, i.e., position 41 of SEQ ID No: 17). Pyrosequencing was performed using sequencing primer SS1. The test sample showing only a T base at the SNP5 (position 152 of the KT008138.1CP sequence, i.e., position 41 of SEQ ID No: 17) site was identified as Fritillaria cirrhosa (see...). Figure 3 ).

[0118] Various Fritillaria cirrhosa samples were tested using PCR products amplified with primers (GSF1 / GSR1) targeting the sequence including SNP1 (position 273 of the NC_044636.1CP sequence, i.e., position 66 of SEQ ID No:1). Pyrosequencing was performed using sequencing primer GSS1. Results at the expected SNP1 (position 273 of the NC_044636.1CP sequence, i.e., position 66 of SEQ ID No:1) site showed only base A, indicating the original species as Fritillaria cirrhosa from Gansu. Figure 2 A1 and Figure 2 (A2).

[0119] Various Fritillaria cirrhosa samples were tested using PCR products amplified with primers (JSF1 / JSR1) targeting the sequence including SNP2 (position 2511 of MN480806.1CP, i.e., position 58 of SEQ ID No:5). Pyrosequencing was then performed using sequencing primer JSS1. Results showing only base A at the SNP2 (position 2511 of MN480806.1CP, i.e., position 58 of SEQ ID No:5) site indicated that the original species were Fritillaria cirrhosa, Fritillaria thunbergii, or both. Figure 2 B1 and Figure 2 B2)

[0120] Various Fritillaria cirrhosa samples were tested using PCR products amplified with primers (AHF1 / AHR1) targeting the sequence including SNP3 (position 2590 of the NC_044629.1CP sequence, i.e., position 85 of SEQ ID No:9). Pyrosequencing was then performed using sequencing primer AHS1. The expected result at the SNP3 (position 2590 of the NC_044629.1CP sequence, i.e., position 85 of SEQ ID No:9) site indicated that the primary species showing only a base T were Fritillaria cirrhosa, Fritillaria baicalensis, or both. Figure 2 C1 and Figure 2 (C2).

[0121] Various Fritillaria cirrhosa samples were tested using PCR products amplified with primers (TBF1 / TBR1) targeting the sequence including SNP4 (position 2905 of the NC_023247.1CP sequence, i.e., position 183 of SEQ ID No: 13). Pyrosequencing was then performed using sequencing primer TBS1. The expected result at the SNP4 (position 2905 of the NC_023247.1CP sequence, i.e., position 183 of SEQ ID No: 13) site showed only a T base in the original species *Fritillaria taibaiense*. Figure 2 D1 and Figure 2 (D2).

[0122] After testing, it was found that all the tested samples had the SNP5 genotype A, indicating that all the tested samples were Fritillaria cirrhosa samples; the Fritillaria cirrhosa samples also had the SNP1 genotype A (position 273 of the NC_044636.1CP sequence, i.e., position 66 of SEQ ID No:1), indicating that the tested samples were the corresponding primordial species Fritillaria gansuensis (Fritillaria cirrhosa). Figure 2 The A3 of the tested Fritillaria cirrhosa samples all have genotype A at SNP2 (position 2511 of the MN480806.1CP sequence, i.e., position 58 of SEQ ID No:5), indicating that the tested samples are the corresponding original species Fritillaria cirrhosa, Fritillaria thunbergii, or both. Figure 2 The B3 of the tested Fritillaria cirrhosa sample showed a genotype of T at SNP3 (position 2590 of the NC_044629.1CP sequence, i.e., position 85 of SEQ ID No:9), indicating that the sample was the corresponding primordial species, Fritillaria cirrhosa or Fritillaria wabui, or both. Figure 2 The C3 of the tested Fritillaria cirrhosa sample showed a genotype of T at SNP4 (position 2905 of the NC_023247.1CP sequence, i.e., position 183 of SEQ ID No: 13), indicating that the tested sample was the corresponding primordial species, Fritillaria taibai (C3). Figure 2 D3).

[0123] As can be seen, the results of the identification of specific SNP sites in each sample by pyrosequencing are consistent with the actual results, indicating that the method described in this invention is effective and accurate.

[0124] Example 3: Identification of the original strain of Fritillaria cirrhosa (Chuan Bei Mu) in processed medicinal slices

[0125] Five samples of each of the following fritillaria, fritillaria cirrhosa, fritillaria thunbergii, fritillaria thunbergii, fritillaria purpurea, fritillaria wabu, and fritillaria taibai were collected from Bozhou, Anhui; Aba, Sichuan; Chengdu, Sichuan; Shijiazhuang, Hebei; and Baoding, Hebei, for a total of 30 samples to be tested.

[0126] The identification was performed using the same method as in Example 2, except that the above-mentioned 30 pieces of Fritillaria cirrhosa original seed were used as the test samples.

[0127] After DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and pyrosequencing, the results showed that, using the same method as in Example 2, the 30 samples collected were first confirmed by SNP5 to be fritillaria cirrhosa slices. Then, SNP1 (position 273 of NC_044636.1CP sequence, i.e. position 66 of SEQ ID No:1), SNP2 (position 2511 of MN480806.1CP sequence, i.e. position 58 of SEQ ID No:5), SNP3 (position 2590 of NC_044629.1CP sequence, i.e. position 85 of SEQ ID No:9) and SNP4 (position 2905 of NC_023247.1CP sequence, i.e. position 183 of SEQ ID No:13) were successfully used to identify the original species of fritillaria cirrhosa slices.
