Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a gill arch osteoblast cell line of Epinephelus lanceolatus and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Epinephelus lanceolatus, commonly known as dragon grouper, belongs to Perciformes, Epinephelidae and Epinephelus, is a warm water coral reef fish, mainly distributed in the Indian-Pacific Ocean, from the east coast of Africa and the Red Sea in the west, to southern Japan in the north, and to northwestern Australia in the south. It is distributed in the waters near the Nansha Islands in Taiwan, China, and is relatively rare in quantity. This species is the largest fish in the Epinephelus group, with a maximum recorded body length of 2.7 meters and a maximum recorded body weight of 400 kilograms. Due to its fast growth rate, strong disease resistance and delicious meat, it is widely favored by the consumer market and is an important marine economic fish in China, with an annual output of about 5000-8000 tons. In addition, due to its excellent characteristics, it is often used as a parent for hybrid grouper. Tiger dragon, mouse dragon, and green dragon, which are hybrid gouramis with it as a parent, have been mass-produced in artificial breeding. Market research shows that whether it is the gourami itself or the hybrid gourami with it as a parent, it is prone to deformity during fry breeding, especially skull deformity, with a deformity rate as high as 82% (Lü X. Growth characteristics and bone development and deformity of Scophthalmus maximus and Epinephelus lanceolatus[D]. Chinese Academy of Sciences (Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences), 2018), which significantly reduces the survival rate of fry and causes serious economic losses. Even if some individuals survive, the deformity phenotype will affect the commodity value, further exacerbating the loss of breeding income.

[0003] Normal development of fish skull highly depends on the proliferation, differentiation and mineralization activity of osteoblasts. As the core functional cells of bone formation and remodeling, osteoblasts directly participate in the morphological construction of craniofacial bones by constructing the framework of collagen matrix and hardening through calcium and phosphorus deposition. Studies have shown that abnormal differentiation or functional defects of osteoblasts may lead to reduced bone density, incomplete mineralization and imbalance of absorption-formation coupling of skull, ultimately resulting in skull morphological deformity. Fish cell lines, as a simple and reproducible in vitro culture system, have been widely used in basic research, developmental biology, biotechnology and other fields. So far, only heart cell line (Guo C, Huang Y, et al. Establishment of Epinephelus lanceolatus heart cell line and its application in cytotoxicity and virology [C] / / Chinese Academy of Sciences. Chinese Academy of Sciences, 2013), skin tissue cell line (Ouyang Z, Chen R, Ji S, et al. Epinephelus lanceolatus skin tissue cell line and its construction method: CN201510217925.6 [P]) and head kidney cell line (Huang Y, Huang X, Liu Z, et al. A kind of Epinephelus lanceolatus head kidney cell line and its construction method and application: CN202110088381.3 [P]) have been reported from E. lanceolatus tissue since 2013, 2018 and 2023, respectively. However, there is no report on cell lines derived from bone tissue. It is worth noting that the skull deformity of E. lanceolatus and its hybrid offspring is mostly manifested as abnormal bulging of the dorsal head. As the key craniofacial bone above the fish eye orbit, abnormal development of frontal bone is likely to be closely related to this phenotype. Similarly, in the same 'humpback' characteristic of Cromileptes altivelis, the allometric growth of frontal bone has been confirmed as one of the main reasons for the dorsal head bulging. Therefore, the establishment of frontal bone-derived osteoblast cell line of E. lanceolatus not only provides an ideal research model for analyzing the molecular mechanism of its craniofacial bone deformity, but also further explores the growth characteristics in the process of its skeletal development, and thus provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of good strain selection and healthy breeding strategies.

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the following embodiments will be used in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0063] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods and reagents described in the following examples are all conventional methods.

[0064] Example 1: Establishment of the frontal bone tissue cell line of the grouper of the present invention

[0065] (1) Place the juvenile grouper on ice until the fish show no stress response to stimulation. Wipe off the mucus on the fish's body surface with sterile gauze. Wipe the fish's body surface twice with gauze soaked in 75% alcohol. Transfer the fish to a clean bench, remove the frontal bone tissue with dissecting instruments, and rinse 3-4 times in PBS solution containing 1X commercial triple antibodies (penicillin, streptomycin, and amphotericin B) (i.e., 100 mL of PBS solution with 1 mL of 100X concentrated commercial triple antibodies).

[0066] (2) The frontal bone tissue block was cross-cut into small pieces of approximately 2 mm using two No. 11 scalpels. The cut tissue pieces were rinsed three times with PBS solution containing triple antibodies. After rinsing, the tissue pieces were transferred to 15 mL centrifuge tubes. The attached blood cells were lysed using commercially available erythrocyte lysis buffer. The tissue pieces were then washed three times with PBS solution. The tissue pieces were evenly placed into a cell culture flask, and the bottom of the flask was resuspended and moistened with 1 mL of complete culture medium. Primary culture was initiated at 27°C. 1 mL of culture medium was added on the second day, and another 1 mL was added on the third day. On the fourth day, the complete culture medium was replaced once, and 5 mL of complete culture medium was added to continue primary culture. Figures 1 to 2 As shown, adherent cells migrated from the frontal bone tissue of the saddle-banded grouper as early as day 5 after the initiation of primary culture. Figure 1 By day 9, the cell count had increased to 70-80%. Figure 2 ).

[0067] (3) When the coverage of the primary culture adherent cells of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone cell line reaches 80-90% or higher, the primary cells may exhibit obvious contact inhibition, at which time the passaging culture is initiated by trypsin digestion. The classic cell digestion procedure is as follows: remove the old culture solution in the original culture bottle; add 5 mL of PBS solution and wash once to remove the serum and divalent metal ions in the original culture solution (such substances can affect the digestion of trypsin); pour out the PBS solution, add 0.5 mL of 0.25% commercial trypsin digestion solution containing EDTA, shake the bottle to allow the trypsin solution to fully contact the bottom cells, and pour out the trypsin digestion solution (this step should be performed quickly, otherwise it is easy to cause excessive digestion; when removing the trypsin digestion solution, enough solution should be left to keep the flat bottom wet, otherwise the bottom may be partially dried, affecting digestion); remove the culture bottle and observe under an inverted microscope until most of the cells are rounded and detached from the bottom, then immediately transfer to a clean bench and add 5 mL of complete culture solution containing serum to terminate digestion; blow and check the blowing effect under a microscope; if there are too many residual cells, repeat the digestion once; inoculate the cell suspension into a new culture bottle at a ratio of 1:2, add complete culture solution to 5 mL, and then place the culture bottle in a constant temperature incubator at 27°C; passaging is performed every 2-3 days thereafter. As shown in FIG. 1, the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone cell line stably presents a long spindle shape from the 1st generation to the 40th generation. Figures 3 to 11

[0068] The above experiments prove that the cell line culture method established by the present application is stable and reliable, and can be applied in the large-scale preparation of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone osteoblast cell line.

[0069] Example 2 Freezing and recovery of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone osteoblast cell line

[0070] (1) Freezing: take a 75 cm 2 culture bottle of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone osteoblast cell line with vigorous growth and full coverage of the bottom of the culture bottle, use trypsin digestion method, centrifuge to collect the cell precipitate, slowly add 3 mL of prepared cell freezing solution, and gently blow the cells to uniformly disperse in the cell freezing solution, and use a pipette to transfer the liquid into a freezing tube. The freezing tube is placed at 4°C for 1 h, then placed in a program gradient cooling freezing box (temperature reduction speed is 1°C / min), the freezing box is placed at -80°C for 1 day, and finally the freezing tube is taken out and immersed in liquid nitrogen for long-term freezing.

[0071] (2) Take the freezing tube out of the liquid nitrogen and quickly place it in a water bath pot with adjusted temperature (40°C), constantly shake the freezing tube during the process of thawing the cells to make them thaw quickly and uniformly until completely thawed. Transfer the thawed cell suspension to a 25 cm 2 ​In the culture bottle centrifuge tube, 5 mL of complete culture solution is added to the culture bottle, and the culture is carried out at 27 DEG C, 5% CO2. After 24 h, new complete culture solution is replaced, and the culture is continued. As shown in Table 1, the adhesion rate of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone osteoblast cell line after cryopreservation and recovery for 24 h reaches 60%-80%, and there is no obvious difference in cell morphology before and after cryopreservation. The recovered Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone osteoblast cells can be normally subcultured. Figure 12

[0072] The above experiments prove that the cell cryopreservation and recovery method of the application has excellent effect, and can be applied in the long-term preservation and subsequent recovery use of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone osteoblast cell line.

[0073] Example 3: Species identification verification of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone cell line

[0074] The Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone cell line is identified by using an RT-PCR technique, En1b as shown in Table 2, the expression of the gene in the frontal bone tissue and the frontal bone cells is high, after gel purification, the sequencing sequence is compared with the sequence of the Epinephelus lanceolatus Figure 13 The comparison result of the sequence of the gene is more than 99%. En1b En1b

[0075] Example 4: Chromosome analysis of the Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone cell line

[0076] The Epinephelus lanceolatus frontal bone cells with vigorous division (30 generations, the cell state is good when the cell growth is 48 h, and the cell basically adheres to the bottle bottom) are taken, inoculated into 75 cm 2 cell culture bottles, when the cell growth is in the logarithmic phase, 20 μg / mL of colchicine is added, the cells are collected after being cultured for 6-8 h to obtain a cell suspension. The cell suspension is moved to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 1,000 g for 10 min, the supernatant is gently sucked out, 4 mL of 0.075 M KCl is added for low penetration for 30 min; 0.5 mL of freshly prepared pre-cooled Carnoy's fixing solution is added for pre-fixing for 10 min, and centrifuged at 2,000 g for 10 min; the cell precipitate is taken, 0.5 mL of Carnoy's fixing solution is added to resuspend the precipitate by using a pipette; 1 mL of fixing solution is added; the glass slide (pre-treated at -20 DEG C) is dropped at a height of 30 cm, and placed horizontally to make it completely spread, and dried at 65 DEG C; then, the glass slide is immersed in a staining tank containing Giemsa staining solution working solution for staining for 10 min, washed with double-distilled water to remove the slag on the surface of the glass slide, dried, and sealed with neutral resin, and observed and counted under a 1000x oil immersion lens.​​​

[0077] As shown in Figure 14 chromosome analysis of the cell line of the frontal bone of Epinephelus lanceolatus, 72% of the observed mitotic phase cells had 48 chromosomes.

[0080] Take the mitotically active frontal bone cells of Epinephelus lanceolatus (30 generations, the cells are in good condition when the cell growth is 48 h, and the cells are basically attached to the bottom of the bottle), and culture the frontal bone cell line of Epinephelus lanceolatus to an appropriate density (when the cells are expanded to 80%, the subsequent experiments are carried out), discard the culture medium, and gently wash twice with pre-cooled PBS. Add 4% PFA and fix at room temperature for 15-20 min. Wash with PBS for 3 times, 5 min each time. Add 0.1% Triton X-100 (prepared with PBS), and incubate at room temperature for 10 min. Wash with PBS for 2 times, 5 min each time. Prepare BCIP / NBT staining solution according to the instructions (operate in the dark). Uniformly cover the cells with the staining solution, and place them in a light-proof box, and incubate at 37°C or room temperature for 30-60 min (observe the color development under a microscope). After color development (blue-purple precipitate appears), terminate the reaction with PBS or deionized water, and wash for 3 times. Figure 15 As shown in

[0081] Example 6 Transfection efficiency of egfp transfection analysis of the cell line of the frontal bone of Epinephelus lanceolatus

[0082] Vigorously dividing frontal bone cells from *Siniperca saddleback* (passage 30, cells in good condition and largely adhering to the bottom of the flask at 48 h) were used for transfection experiments using a BEX™ CUY21 EDIT II electroporator. The pEGFP-N1 plasmid was electroporated into the *Siniperca saddleback* frontal bone cell line. The culture medium was changed after 24 h, and cell status was observed after 48 h. Cells were gently washed twice with pre-cooled PBS, and fixed with 4% PFA at room temperature for 10 min. They were then washed three times with PBS for 3 min each time. 0.1% Triton X-100 (prepared with PBS) was added, and the cells were incubated at room temperature for 10 min. They were then washed twice with PBS for 2 min each time. DAPI staining solution was prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions (protected from light), and the staining solution was evenly applied to the cells. The cells were incubated in a light-protected container at room temperature for 15 min for nuclear staining. Cells were washed three times with PBS for 1 min each time. The expression of green fluorescence in the cells was observed and photographed under an inverted fluorescence microscope. Figure 16 As shown, 48 h after transfection, the cell nuclei stained blue, and the pEGFP-N1 plasmid expressed green fluorescence in the cell line, with a transfection efficiency of approximately 75%. This indicates that the established frontal bone cell line of *S. saddleback* can adapt to transfection experiments of exogenous genes. The above experiments demonstrate that the cell line established in this invention has high transfection efficiency and can be applied in the functional verification of exogenous genes in *S. saddleback* and in the research model of gene regulation mechanisms related to skull malformations.

[0083] Example 7: Dual-luciferase assay of frontal bone cell line from grouper with saddle band.

[0084] The plasmids used for transfection in this experiment were the target plasmid (PGL3-El.en1b-basic, pCDNA3.1-El.En1b, pCDNA3.1-Ca.En1b), the internal control plasmid (TK), the negative control (PGL3-basic), and the positive control (PGL3-El.en1b-basic). Transfection was performed when cells were in good growth condition after passage and reached 70%–80% confluency. After cell digestion, the mixture was not discarded; an appropriate amount of fresh cell culture medium was added directly. After repeated pipetting, the cells were seeded into 48-well culture plates and placed back in an incubator. After 24 hours, microscopic observation showed that if cells adhered to the well and the density reached 70%–80%, transfection was performed. Lipofectamine 3000 was used as the transfection reagent, and the ratio of internal control plasmid to target plasmid was 1:20. The specific procedures are as follows:

[0085] Before transfection, the concentration of the transfected plasmid must be determined, and... En1bThe promoter plasmid and en1b overexpression plasmid were diluted to approximately 200 ng / μL, and the internal control plasmid was diluted to 50 ng / μL. 1 μg (5 μL) of plasmid was added to 25 μL of Opti-MEM medium, mixed well, and incubated at room temperature for 5 min. Simultaneously, 1 μL of Lipo3000 transfection reagent was added to 25 μL of Opti-MEM medium in a new 1.5 mL EP tube, mixed by pipetting, and incubated at room temperature for 5 min. After 5 min, the plasmid and Opti-MEM medium mixture was added dropwise to the transfection reagent and Opti-MEM medium mixture, mixed by pipetting, and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. During this time, the old cell culture medium was aspirated from the culture plate, and 200 μL of Opti-MEM medium was slowly added. The mixture was carefully suspended and added dropwise to the culture plate, 50 μL per well, and the bottom of the plate was gently tapped to mix the solution thoroughly. After transfection, the 48-well plate was returned to the incubator for 24 hours of incubation. h, then cells can be collected for activity assays. Dual-luciferase activity was measured using the Promega Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System kit and the Berthold LB9508 tube chemiluminescence analyzer. The activities of firefly luciferase and Renilla luciferase were recorded separately; the ratio of their activities represents the relative activity of the plasmid dual-luciferase reporter gene. For example... Figure 17 As shown, it can be seen that overexpression of pCDNA3.1-El.En1b... En1b The promoter activity was not significantly different from that of the positive control group (p>0.05), indicating that the established frontal bone cell line of the saddle-banded grouper can adapt to overexpression experiments and experiments such as promoter interactions.

[0086] The above experiments demonstrate that the cell line established in this invention can be used to detect osteogenic genes (such as those in grouper) in saddle-banded grouper. En1b It is applied in promoter activity analysis, gene interaction and functional verification models of genes, providing key technical tools for elucidating the causes of skull deformities.

[0087] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
