Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology engineering, and particularly to an Escherichia coli strain with high plasmid transformation ability and high colonization level, which can colonize in the intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans for a long time and is used for research related to the nematode intestine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of biology, nematodes are model organisms widely used in the study of many biological processes. Nematodes feed on bacteria, and the ingested bacteria are digested in the intestine to provide nutrients for the nematodes, which makes nematodes represent a very easy-to-genetically-manipulate model biological system for studying the direct / indirect effects of diet, including host-microbe interactions. Among them, Caenorhabditis elegans is a powerful tool for studying host-microbe interactions. Escherichia coli, due to its biological characteristics and the convenience of gene manipulation, helps to explore complex problems in nematode and host-microbe biology.

[0003] Currently, the engineering Escherichia coli commonly used in intestinal research are mainly E. coli Nissle 1917 and E. coli MG1655, but their colonization levels and colonization times in the nematode intestine are relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve these problems in the prior art by providing a new nematode intestinal origin Escherichia coli strain, which shows better performance in plasmid transformation efficiency and colonization level. This new strain can provide a more effective and reliable tool for research related to the intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an intestinal origin Escherichia coli W1 isolated from the intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans at the L4 life cycle. This strain has good plasmid transformation ability and high colonization level, and can contribute to research related to the nematode intestine.

[0006] To achieve the above invention purpose, the technical solution implemented by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] Isolate intestinal origin Escherichia coli from the intestinal lysate of Caenorhabditis elegans, screen through LB and Escherichia coli chromogenic plates, and PCR amplify the 16S rRNA gene sequence;

[0008] Compare the 16S rRNA gene sequence obtained by the above PCR amplification with the sequences of common Escherichia coli and other related species to construct a MEGA phylogenetic tree;

[0009] To compare whether there is an advantage in the gene manipulation function of Escherichia coli isolated from the intestine, the transformation efficiency of the strains was first detected. The plasmid J23101-sfgfp@pSB3K3 with the expression of the green fluorescent protein gene existing in the laboratory was transferred into the Escherichia coli to be tested through bacterial transformation to form a transformed engineering bacterium. Different concentrations were diluted and spotted on LB and LB + kanamycin solid plates, and the transformation efficiency was calculated according to the number of single colonies.

[0010] To compare the colonization level and duration of Escherichia coli isolated from the intestine in Caenorhabditis elegans, the λ-Red homologous recombination gene editing technology was used to insert the green fluorescent protein gene and the kanamycin resistance gene into the Escherichia coli genome, enabling the strain to be stably expressed in the nematode while facilitating subsequent observation and screening. After feeding the three knockout strains of E. coli W1ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR, E. coli Nissle 1917ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR, and E. coli MG1655ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR to nematodes until they reached the L4 stage, the nematodes were transferred to heat-inactivated E. coli OP50 NGM solid medium for cultivation. At four time points of 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, and 144 h after feeding respectively, the nematodes were collected. The intestinal lysates of the nematodes were diluted at different concentration gradients and spotted on LB + kanamycin solid plates, and the CFU carried by each nematode was estimated according to the number of single colonies to compare the colonization levels of different Escherichia coli.

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0012] To find Escherichia coli that can colonize the nematode intestine for a long time, the present invention isolated Escherichia coli from the nematode intestine by simulating the rich microbial flora of nematodes in the wild. Secondly, in order to enhance the gene transformation efficiency of Escherichia coli, different methods for preparing competent cells and transformation conditions were used to affect the transformation effect. In order to facilitate the tracking research and screening of Escherichia coli in the nematode intestine in vivo, Escherichia coli gene knockout bacteria were constructed by the λ-Red homologous recombination gene editing technology so that their genomes carried the green fluorescent protein gene and the kanamycin resistance gene.

[0013] The above method steps of the present invention comprehensively utilize the advantages of the green fluorescent protein gene and nematode intestinal Escherichia coli. Through MEGA phylogenetic tree, transformation efficiency, and colonization level experiments, a strain of nematode intestinal Escherichia coli E. coli W1 with high efficiency in all aspects was finally screened. Compared with the model Escherichia coli commonly used in nematode intestinal research in existing articles, this bacterium has a higher transformation efficiency and a higher colonization level in the nematode intestine, and thus has more advantages.

[0035] Example 1 Screening of Escherichia coli from Caenorhabditis elegans Intestine and Construction of MEGA Phylogenetic Tree

[0036] (1) Cultivation of Caenorhabditis elegans

[0037] First, transfer L4-stage nematodes to NGM plates inoculated with E. coli OP50 and incubate them for 24 h. E. coli OP50 serves as their food source [Girard L R, Fiedler T J, Harris T W, et al. WormBook: the online review of Caenorhabditis elegans biology [J]. Nucleic acids research, 2007, 35 (Database issue): D472-475.]. Let them reach the stage where the adult worms' bellies are filled with a large number of eggs. Add M9 buffer to the NGM plates containing a large number of adult nematodes filled with eggs for collection. Dissolve late-pregnant adult nematodes with bleach (1 mL of 4 M sodium hydroxide, 1.25 mL of sodium hypochlorite, 7.75 mL of ddH2O). This process will release the eggs, and then collect the eggs to obtain synchronized L1-stage larvae. Feed L1 nematodes with a simulated wild rich microbial flora using rotten apples, rotten bananas, and yogurt [The method for constructing the microbial flora refers to He YJ, Hao FR, Fu HR, et al. N-glycosylated intestinal protein BCF-1 shapes microbial colonization by binding bacteria via its fimbrial protein [J]. Cell Reports, 2023, 42(1)] until they reach the L4 stage, and then collect the nematodes.

[0038] (2) Isolation and identification of intestinal Escherichia coli

[0039] Wash L4 nematodes 3 - 5 times with M9 buffer, then wash them 2 times with M9 buffer containing 25 mM levamisole (levamisole inhibits pharyngeal pumping and defecation) (LM buffer), then wash them 2 times with LM buffer containing 100 μg / mL gentamicin (to clean the bacteria outside the nematodes), and then wash them three times separately with M9 buffer. Put the washed nematodes into a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube containing 100 μL of PBS with 1% Triton X-100, add sterilized steel beads, and grind them on a grinder (60 Hz, 1 min, repeat 9 times) to make the mother liquor of nematode intestinal lysate. Pipette 10 μL of the mother liquor and add sterile PBS buffer to 1 mL to obtain a 10 -1 dilution, and so on to obtain 10 -2 -10 -4Diluent. Take 100 μL and coat it on the LB solid medium, and incubate it overnight at 37 °C in an incubator. Pick a single colony with a round and neat edge, smooth surface, translucent, and small protrusions similar to Escherichia coli. After streaking and separating on the LB solid medium twice, pick a single colony again and streak it on the Escherichia coli chromogenic solid medium to judge the genus. If the single colony is blue, it is identified as Escherichia coli.

[0040] (3) Construction of the MEGA phylogenetic tree

[0041] Pick a single colony of Escherichia coli, use the primers in Table 1 for amplification in the PCR reaction system in Table 2, and PCR amplifies a 16S rRNA gene fragment with a size of about 1500 bp.

[0045]

[0046] Table 3 PCR amplification process

[0047]

[0048] After the reaction is terminated, it is purified and recovered by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis for standby and subjected to Sanger sequencing (Sangon Biotech (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.).

[0049] Among them, the neighbor-joining method (NJ) of the MEGA software is used to compare the sequences of the isolated nematode intestinal Escherichia coli with the Escherichia coli commonly used to study the intestine, and it is found that there are differences in the sequences, such as Figure 1 .

[0050] After the above cultivation and identification, one of the isolated strains was classified and named as nematode intestinal Escherichia coli E. coli W1.

[0051] The nematode intestinal Escherichia coli E. coli W1 was deposited in the Guangdong Provincial Microbial Culture Collection Center on April 8, 2025. The deposit location is Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, and the deposit number is GDMCC 66114.

[0052] Example 2: Plasmid transformation efficiency of nematode intestinal Escherichia coli and commonly used Escherichia coli self-made competent cells

[0053] The plasmid J23101-sfgfp@pSB3K3 in the laboratory has been constructed based on the common component library of iGEM (the main components of this plasmid, such as J23101, pSB3K3, and sfgfp, can be found at https: / / parts.igem.org, and then assembled by oneself). This plasmid was transformed into the self-prepared competent cells of each Escherichia coli. It should be noted that other plasmids can also be used to evaluate the plasmid transformation efficiency of Escherichia coli, as long as the plasmids used can continuously express fluorescent proteins and resistance genes. The plasmid J23101-sfgfp@pSB3K3 was only used because it is convenient to obtain. Therefore, the specific construction method of this plasmid is not introduced in detail. Those skilled in the art can, according to the description of the present invention, independently use other plasmids that can continuously express fluorescent proteins and resistance genes to conduct experiments on evaluating the transformation efficiency of Escherichia coli.

[0054] Among them, the competent cells were prepared by the CaCl2 method. A small amount was picked from the preserved strain and streaked on an LB plate, and cultured at 37°C. A single colony on the plate was picked into 5 mL of LB and cultured at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm for 17 h. The overnight culture was diluted 400-fold into fresh 200 mL of LB and cultured at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm until the OD 600 = 0.3 - 0.4. The culture was transferred to a 50 mL centrifuge tube and immediately placed on ice for 20 min. The centrifuge tube was placed in a pre-cooled centrifuge at 4°C and centrifuged at 3000 g for 8 min. The supernatant was discarded, 10 mL of pre-cooled 50 mM CaCl2 was added, and the cells were gently resuspended on ice. The above centrifugation step was repeated, the cells were collected, the supernatant was discarded again, 10 mL of pre-cooled 50 mM CaCl2 was added, and the cells were gently resuspended on ice and placed on ice for 30 min. Then, it was centrifuged at 3000 g for 6 min again, and the supernatant was discarded. 2 mL of 50 mM CaCl2 and 15% glycerol were added to each 50 mL centrifuge tube, and the cells were gently resuspended and placed on ice for 2 h. Then, they were aliquoted into 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes, quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C.

[0055] Among them, the transformation of the plasmid was carried out by the heat shock transformation method. The plasmid J23101-sfgfp@pSB3K3 was transferred into 100 μL of Escherichia coli competent cells with a final concentration of 1 μg / mL. According to the conventional transformation procedure, the plasmid was added to the competent cells and placed on ice for 30 min, heat shocked at 42°C for 90 s, immediately placed on ice for 3 min, and then 900 μL of fresh LB was added and cultured at 37°C for 1 h for recovery. The transformed product was serially diluted, and 3 μL of each dilution was spotted on LB and LB + kanamycin solid plates, with three replicates, and cultured upside down at 37°C for 17 h. The transformation efficiency % was calculated according to the number of colonies at the same concentration: Transformation efficiency % = (Number of single colonies on the LB + kanamycin solid plate) / (Number of single colonies on the LB solid plate × dilution factor) × 100%.

[0056] The transformation efficiency of Escherichia coli was calculated and the results are shown in Table 4. The transformation efficiency of E. coli W1 isolated from nematode intestine was 1.4 times higher than that of the commonly used model E. coli Nissle 1917.

[0058]

[0059] Experimental Example 3: Comparison of the colonization levels of E. coli isolated from nematode intestine and commonly used model E. coli in the nematode intestine

[0060] The gene knockout bacteria were constructed by λ-Red recombination technology using the isolated E. coli W1, E. coli Nissle 1917, and E. coli MG1655, and were named E. coli W1ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR, E. coli Nissle 1917ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR, and E. coli MG1655ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR, respectively.

[0061] First, a single colony was picked from a fresh E. coli OP50 streak plate and inoculated into 400 mL of LB medium. The culture was shaken at 250 rpm at 37 °C for 16 - 22 hours. The cultured E. coli OP50 (200 mL) was concentrated to 100 mL (1 / 2 volume) by centrifugation (2000g, 15 min). The precipitate was vortexed to resuspend the cells. The concentrated E. coli OP50 was heat-inactivated in a 90 °C water bath for 120 minutes. 500 μL of heat-inactivated OP50 (HK-OP50) was spread on an LB plate to observe colony growth. The plate was cultured at 37 °C for 16 - 22 hours. No bacterial growth confirmed successful heat inactivation. 0.3 mg / mL riboflavin, i.e., vitamin B2, was spread on NGM plates to maintain normal nematode development. Subsequently, 300 μL of HK-OP50 was spotted on NGM-5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) plates to prepare HK-OP50-NGM-5Fu medium.

[0062] Pick a single colony from each of the streaked plates of E. coli W1ΔlacZ, E. coli Nissle 1917ΔlacZ, and E. coli MG1655ΔlacZ and inoculate it into 5 mL of LB liquid medium. Incubate the culture at 37 °C with shaking at 250 rpm for 16 - 22 hours. Dilute 0.5 mL of the three gene knockout bacteria cultures into 50 mL of fresh LB. Incubate the diluted bacteria at 37 °C until the OD600 reaches about 1. Collect the bacterial suspension, concentrate the three suspensions to 25 mL (1 / 2 volume), and vortex to resuspend the bacteria. Spot 300 μL of the bacterial suspension onto a 6 cm NGM plate to prepare NGM medium seeded with E. coli W1ΔlacZ, E. coli Nissle 1917ΔlacZ, and E. coli MG1655ΔlacZ for feeding nematodes.

[0063] Centrifuge synchronized L1-stage nematodes in a 15 mL tube to remove the M9 medium. Resuspend the synchronized L1-stage nematodes in 500 μL of M9. Then, take 10 μL of the L1-stage nematodes and place them on a microscope slide for counting. The ideal number of nematodes is 100 - 200 per 10 μL. Inoculate 40 μL of the synchronized L1-stage nematodes onto NGM medium seeded with E. coli W1ΔlacZ::sfgfpKmR, E. coli Nissle 1917ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR, and E. coli MG1655ΔlacZ::sfgfp KmR and incubate at 20 °C for 48 h until the L4 stage. Wash the L4-stage nematodes 5 - 6 times with M9 medium and transfer them to HK-OP50-NGM-5fu medium, and transfer them to fresh HK-OP50-NGM-5Fu medium every day. Collect the nematodes at the time points of 24 h, 48 h, 96 h, and 144 h after feeding and lyse the nematode intestines.

[0064] Wash the nematodes 3 times with M9 buffer at the selected time points, and then wash the washed nematodes 3 times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to remove the excess M9 buffer. Transfer the nematodes to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube containing 100 μL of PBS with 1% Triton X-100 and 18% iodixanol (CBI). CBI can keep the nematodes evenly suspended, facilitating nematode counting. Take 10 μL for counting to estimate the number of the remaining 90 μL of nematodes, and grind the remaining 90 μL using a grinder to rupture the nematode cells and release the bacteria in the intestines. Determine the colony-forming units (CFUs) of the three strains of bacteria in the Caenorhabditis elegans intestines. Calculate the CFU per nematode intestine according to the formula. [1]

[0065] ​

[0066] Each condition was repeated at least 6 times biologically. The results showed that the colonization level of E. coli W1 in the intestine of Caenorhabditis elegans was much higher than that of E. coli Nissle 1917 and E. coli MG1655, as Figure 3 .

The 16S gene sequences of other species except E. coli W1 were from the NCBI database, and Enterococcus faecium strain LMG 11423 was used as the outgroup.

[0068] Based on the 16S rRNA sequences of 18 bacteria, the phylogenetic tree constructed by the neighbor-joining method (NJ) showed that the similarity between strain E. coli W1 and E. coli R1Q1 was 70%.

[0070] Calculated according to the colony numbers at the same concentration. Transformation efficiency % = (number of single colonies on LB + kanamycin solid plate) / (number of single colonies on LB solid plate × dilution multiple) × 100%. By calculating the transformation efficiency of Escherichia coli, the result showed that the transformation efficiency of the nematode intestinal Escherichia coli E. coli W1 was 1.4 times higher than that of the common model Escherichia coli E. coli Nissle 1917

[0072] The collected intestinal lysate was diluted to an appropriate dilution gradient for spotting bacteria, and the colony numbers of each E. coli were counted to calculate CFU. After data comparison, the results were obtained. After 144 h of colonization in the nematode intestine, the colonization level of E. coli W1 was 889.8 times that of E. coli Nissle 1917.

[0073] As described above, it is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, so the scope of implementation of the present invention cannot be limited thereby. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the present invention patent and the content of the specification should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention.
