Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial detection technology, specifically relating to detection primers and probes for trypanosomes in large yellow croaker and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Large yellow croaker is an important marine aquaculture fish with high production volumes. Frequent outbreaks of various bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases pose a major threat to the healthy development of the large yellow croaker aquaculture industry. Trypanosomiasis, as a newly emerging parasitic pathogen, has a long epidemic period and causes extremely high mortality rates in large yellow croaker, resulting in huge economic losses to the industry and making it a significant parasitic pathogen. Currently, detection of this pathogen mainly relies on microscopic examination or comparative analysis based on gene nucleic acid sequences, which cannot meet the requirements for sensitive and rapid diagnosis in production. Furthermore, the quantitative PCR detection method based on SYBR Green I dyes suffers from low specificity. Given the serious harm this pathogen poses to the large yellow croaker aquaculture industry, establishing a sensitive, specific, and rapid molecular detection method for it has become an urgent requirement for the healthy development of the industry.

[0022] The first set of fluorescent quantitative PCR detection primers and probes were designed based on the highly conserved and species-specific 90bp nucleotide sequence of the trypanosome SSUrRNA gene of large yellow croaker, which is: TTCGAATTTGGTGACCCAGGCCCTTGTGGTCCGTGAACACATTCAGAAACAAGAAACACGGGAGTGGTTCCCTTCCTGATTTTCGCATGT, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 13.

[0023] When using the aforementioned quantitative real-time PCR detection primers and probes, primers and probes can be used simultaneously, or only primers can be used. When using probes, the 5' and 3' ends of the probe are labeled with a fluorescent reporter group and a fluorescent quencher group, respectively. Preferably, the probe can be a Taqman-MGB probe, with the 5' end modified with the fluorescent reporter group 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM) and the 3' end modified with MGB (Minor Groove Binder)-NFQ (Nonfluorescent Quencher).

[0045] When using isothermal amplification detection primers for detection (Loop-mediated isothermal amplification, LAMP), the following primer combinations can be used:

[0050] The LAMP reaction temperature was 60.0℃-68.0℃, and the reaction was carried out for 60 cycles, with each cycle lasting 1 minute.

[0051] The LAMP detection reaction system comprises the following components: 2.5 μL of 10× isothermal amplification buffer, MgSO4 at a final concentration of 4.0–12.0 mM, betaine at a final concentration of 0.1–1.4 mM, dNTPs at a final concentration of 0.8–1.8 mM, and 20 μmol / L... Tr _FIP / Tr 2 μL of BIP, 10 μmol / L Tr _F3 / Tr _B3 0.5μL, 20μmol / L Tr _LF / Tr 1 μL of LB yields a final concentration of 0.128-0.576 U / μL. Bst 2.0 WarmStart ® DNA polymerase (8000 U / mL, New England BioLabs), 1 μL of trypanosome DNA template from large yellow croaker, and EvaGreen can be added to the above system to a final concentration of 0.5-2.5 μmol / L. ® Dye (Biotium), the detection system was finally replenished with water to 25μL.

[0052] When adding EvaGreen ® During dyeing, the detection was performed using a quantitative PCR instrument. The detection temperature and reagent usage were determined based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the low Ct value and the need for optimized reagent costs. In the quantitative analysis of pathogen detection, the pathogen load in the sample could be calculated based on the linear relationship between template amount and Ct value. When EvaGreen was not added... ® During dyeing, detection can be performed in a PCR instrument or under simple constant temperature conditions (such as a metal bath or water bath). The detection temperature and reagent usage in the system are determined by considering factors such as the intensity of the step-like bands in the product electrophoresis and the cost of the reagents to be optimized. In the analysis of the detection results, in addition to judging by electrophoresis results, the color change of the reaction product after adding a chimeric fluorescent dye can also be used for visual diagnosis of the sample.

[0053] The detection primers and probes for trypanosomes in large yellow croaker described in this invention can be used for the detection and quantitative analysis of trypanosomes in large yellow croaker for non-disease diagnosis and treatment purposes, including for the preparation of detection reagents or kit products.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] 1. Short detection time, high sensitivity, and strong specificity:

[0056] The present invention provides a real-time quantitative PCR method based on the Taqman-MGB probe, which can complete the reaction within 1 hour and has a detection sensitivity of 9.58 copies / reaction. No cross-reaction was observed with various trypanosomes and aquaculture pathogens. The primers used in this invention for isothermal amplification can complete the reaction within 15-60 minutes.

[0057] 2. The test can be applied to on-site diagnosis:

[0058] The isothermal amplification detection primers provided by this invention can complete the detection under simple constant temperature conditions (such as a water bath or metal bath). After the detection reaction is completed, a chimeric fluorescent dye such as SYBR Green or GeneFinder is added to the reaction tube. TM Alternatively, by adding self-luminous fluorescent dyes such as calcein or hydroxynaphthol blue, rapid on-site diagnosis of pathogens can be achieved through color changes in the reaction tube.

Based on the SSUrRNA gene sequence alignment analysis of the samples, we designed four sets of primers and probes for real-time PCR detection. Their nucleotide sequences are as follows:

[0068] The nucleotide sequences of the first set of primers and probes:

[0069] 1) Primer 1: Tr _F:5'-TTCGAATTTGGTGACCCAGG-3',

PCR amplification was performed using a 25 μL PCR system with a 10 μmol / L solution. Tr_ P_F / Tr_ 0.5 μL each of P and R, 12.5 μL of Premix Ex Taq Mix (TaKaRa, Dalian), 1 μL of template, and 10.5 μL of sterile water were added.

A 997 bp PCR product was obtained, which was recovered from the gel and ligated into the pMD18-T vector (TaKaRa, Dalian) to obtain the recombinant plasmid standard pMD18_ Tr pMD18 was measured using a nucleic acid concentration analyzer (NanoDrop 2000c). Tr The concentration was then calculated and converted into the target gene copy number, and stored at -20℃ for later use.

Tr The final concentrations of the probe were 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5 μmol / L, respectively. Premix ExTaq (Probe qPCR) (2×) 10 μL, 0.2 μL ROXReference Dye II (50×), 1 μL DNA template, and ddH2O to a final volume of 20 μL. Quantitative PCR was performed using an Applied Biosystems QuantStudio 3 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The reaction conditions were: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 30 s; 95℃ denaturation for 5 s; detection temperature 60℃ for 34 s, for 40 cycles. Based on factors such as detection Ct value, fluorescence intensity increase (ΔRn), and reagent cost, the optimal primer and probe concentrations were determined to be 0.3 μmol / L and 0.2 μmol / L, respectively. These results were used in subsequent detections using this method.

[0126] Example 8: Isothermal amplification detection of trypanosomes in large yellow croaker

[0127] The detection of trypanosomes in large yellow croaker using LAMP was performed in a real-time quantitative PCR instrument (Bio-Rad, USA). Taking the first set of isothermal amplification primers as an example: the 25 μL LAMP reaction system contained 2.5 μL of 10×Isothermal amplification buffer (containing 2.0 mM Mg). 2+ ), 100mM MgSO41.0μL, 5.0M Betaine 1.0μL, 10mM dNTPs3.0μL, 20μM Tr_ FIP / BIP 2.0μL, 10μM Tr_ F3 / B3 0.5μL, 20μM Tr_ 1.0 μL LB, 1.6 μL 8000 U / mL Bst2.0 WarmStart® DNA polymerase (New England BioLabs, USA), 0.75 μL 20×EvaGreen® Dye (25 μM, Biotium, USA), 1.0 μL DNA template, and RNase-free water to a final volume of 25 μL were added. For the LAMP assay of trypanosomes in large yellow croaker, the DNA template from the test sample, denatured at 95°C, was added to the reaction system. Based on previous optimization results, the reaction temperature was set at 65°C. 60 cycles were performed, each lasting 1 min. After the reaction, the system was incubated at 80°C for 5 min to terminate the reaction.

[0128] In specific detection, trypanosomiasis from large yellow croaker ( Trypanosoma sp.), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (sp.), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Pseudomonas plecoglossicida ) 、Vibrio harveyi ( V.harveyi ), Neobenedenia sp.、 Aestabdella Using DNA from aquatic animal pathogens such as *Sp.* as templates (Table 4), the detection specificity of the first LAMP set based on isothermal amplification of *Trektella maculata* from *Large Yellow Croaker* was analyzed. The detection was repeated three times. The results showed that the LAMP detection method based on isothermal amplification technology of this invention can specifically detect *Trektella maculata* from *Large Yellow Croaker* within 40 minutes.
