Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of molecular biotechnology, and specifically relates to an application of zebrafish 80S ribosomal protein 7oyb in influencing DON to inhibit the proliferation of zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts. Background Art

[0002] Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a type B trichothecene mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. and widely found in contaminated grains and their products. DON is a chemically and thermally stable compound that rarely decomposes during storage or heat treatment, leading to its widespread presence in foods consumed by humans and animals. DON has multiple toxic effects on humans and animals, including immunotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, and neurotoxicity, posing a serious threat to food safety and human health.

[0003] Cell proliferation is a fundamental process for biological growth, development, and tissue homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms by which DON affects cell proliferation is crucial for understanding its toxicity, developing detoxification strategies, and ensuring food safety. While current research focuses on the effects of DON on mammalian cells, its mechanisms of action in aquatic model organisms remain largely undefined. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention is further explained below through examples, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited in any form by the examples.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] (1) Cell proliferation: CCK-8 and EdU detection kits were used to analyze the effect of DON on cell proliferation.

[0018] Zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts were seeded in a culture dish. When the cells adhered to the wall and grew to 60%-70% confluence, different concentrations of DON (DON 0ng / mL, 200ng / mL, 400ng / mL, 600ng / mL, 800ng / mL, 1000ng / mL, 1200ng / mL) were added to treat the cells. At different time points (48h and 96h), DON 0ng / mL was set as a control. CCK-8 reagent was used and the effect of DON treatment on cell viability was detected by a microplate reader at 450nm. The results showed that DON could inhibit the proliferation of zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts at both 48h and 96h ( Figure 1 A and B in Figure 3), and when the DON concentration was 600 ng / mL, cell proliferation decreased significantly from 0 to 96 h, and cell proliferation decreased more at DON1000 ng / mL than at DON600 ng / mL, indicating that DON inhibited cell proliferation in a concentration-dependent manner ( Figure 1 C).

[0019] The cells were plated on a slide and treated with DON (0 ng / mL, 600 ng / mL, 1000 ng / mL) for 48 h. EdU reagent was then added and incubated for 2 h to label the cells. The cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 15 minutes and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 15 minutes. The reaction solution was prepared for EdU staining (488). The staining conditions were incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. The nuclei were then stained with DAPI. The staining conditions were incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes. Confocal microscopy was used to analyze the effect of DON on the proliferation of zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts. The results showed that DON inhibited cell proliferation. As the concentration of DON increased, cell growth slowed significantly ( Figure 1 D) in.

[0020] (2) Transcriptome analysis was used to analyze the transcriptional regulatory network after DON action to reveal the complex regulatory mechanism of DON on cell proliferation.

[0021] Zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts were plated on culture dishes and treated with various concentrations of DON (0 ng / mL, 600 ng / mL, and 1000 ng / mL) for 48 hours. The cells were then harvested and RNA extracted. Poly(A)-tailed eukaryotic mRNA was enriched using magnetic beads with oligo(dT) and then ultrasonically fragmented. Using the fragmented mRNA as a template and random oligonucleotides as primers, the first-strand cDNA was synthesized using the M-MuLV reverse transcriptase system. The RNA was then degraded with RNase H, and the second-strand cDNA was synthesized using dNTPs in the DNA polymerase I system. The purified double-stranded cDNA was end-repaired, A-tailed, and ligated with sequencing adapters. AMPure XP beads were used to screen cDNA of approximately 200 bp, followed by PCR amplification. PCR products were purified again using AMPure XP beads to construct libraries. Agarose gel electrophoresis was then used to analyze the integrity of the sample RNA and the presence of DNA contamination. A NanoPhotometer spectrophotometer was used to detect RNA purity (OD260 / 280 and OD260 / 230 ratios). A Qubit2.0 Fluorometer was used to accurately quantify RNA concentration. An Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer was used to accurately detect RNA integrity, followed by sequencing analysis.

[0022] RNA-seq, GSEA analysis and gene heatmap were combined to analyze the significantly downregulated and upregulated pathways and analyze the significantly differentially expressed genes. It was found that after DON treatment of cells, the ribosome pathway, DNA replication pathway, ECM-receptor pathway and cell cycle pathway were significantly downregulated ( Figure 2 A, B, C and D), key genes in the ribosomal pathway, such as those encoding ribosomal proteins (rps9, rps24 and rps28), encoding mitochondrial ribosomal proteins (mrps7), encoding large ribosomal subunit proteins (rpl12 and rpl21) and encoding mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit proteins (mrpl9), were significantly down-regulated ( Figure 2 China A and Figure 3 Figure 3 (A), indicating that DON exposure affects ribosomes in zebrafish embryonic fibroblasts.

[0023] (3) Molecular docking analysis was used to determine whether DON binds to zebrafish ribosomes.

[0024] To further analyze the interaction between DON and the ribosome, molecular docking was used to analyze the interaction between DON and the zebrafish 80S ribosome. We used the zebrafish 80S ribosomal protein (PDB: 7oyb). The CAS number for DON is 51481-10-8. First, we preprocessed DON and the protein using AutoDockTools software (Version 1.5.7), selected appropriate docking sites, and exported a configuration file for docking with AutoDockVina software. Next, we used AutoDockVina software to perform local searches and repeated iterations to find the optimal molecular docking conformation. Finally, we used PyMOL software (Version 3.0.3) and LigPlot software (Version 2.2.9) for analysis and plotting. The binding energy for DON-ribosomal protein docking was -8.4 kcal / mol, indicating that the binding is primarily through hydrogen-bonded hydrophobic interactions. The nucleotides that form hydrogen bonds with DON are G17192, C17202, and C17312 of 18s RNA. The nucleotides that form hydrophobic interactions with DON are G15932 of 18s RNA, PRO90 of 40S ribosomal protein S19, HIS92 ( Figure 3 ).

[0025] (4) Flow cytometry analysis of the effect of DON on cell cycle.

[0026] After DON treatment, cells were added to propidium iodide (PI) staining solution and incubated in the dark. Cytoflex S (Beckman, USA) and CytExpert software were used for detection and data acquisition. Flowjo software was used to analyze the detection data. The results showed that DON induced cell cycle arrest, resulting in reduced DNA replication. This effect was significantly positively correlated with DON concentration ( Figure 4 ).

[0027] (5) Immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy were used to analyze the effects of DON on mitosis and extracellular matrix.

[0028] The cells were plated and treated with DON for 48 hours. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA, permeabilized with 0.4% TritonX-100, and blocked with blocking solution. After incubation with primary antibodies (Fibronectin, α-tubulin), the corresponding fluorescent secondary antibodies were incubated, and the cell nuclei were labeled with DAPI. Laser confocal microscopy was performed. The results showed that after DON stimulation, the number of multinucleated cells increased, cell mitosis was impaired, and DNA distribution was abnormal ( Figure 4 ), fibronectin appears as dots ( Figure 5 ).
