Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biological detection technology, and relates to a primer pair, composition, kit and method for detecting *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, which causes visceral white spot disease in large yellow croaker, based on RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a technology. Background Technology
[0002] First discovered in 2000, white spot disease of the viscera of large yellow croaker is caused by *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* (…). Pseudomonas plecoglossicida This disease is caused by *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*. Large yellow croaker infected with *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* exhibit a series of significant clinical symptoms, primarily including white spots on the viscera. These white spots are caused by the accumulation of bacteria and their metabolites, resulting in mold-like white patches on the visceral tissue. In addition, fish infected with *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* show increased mucus secretion on the body surface, gill congestion and hemorrhage, reduced activity, and decreased appetite, severely impacting their growth and survival rate. Studies have shown that *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* is prone to outbreaks under conditions of fluctuating water temperature and excessively high stocking densities. Researchers are working to develop effective diagnostic and control measures to mitigate the impact of this disease on fisheries production.
[0003] Early prevention measures for white spot disease of large yellow croaker include strengthening water quality management, regularly cleaning the aquaculture environment, controlling stocking density, and using antibiotics for preventative treatment. In addition, strengthening quarantine of introduced fish is also a key measure. Currently used diagnostic techniques include PCR, LAMP, and ELISA. Diagnostic methods for *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* mainly include traditional methods (such as blood smears and histopathological analysis), immunological methods (such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect fluorescent antibody detection technology (IFAT),) and molecular biology techniques (including conventional PCR, nested PCR, real-time quantitative PCR, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). These diagnostic techniques each have their advantages and applicable ranges, but they all have high requirements for testing conditions and operators, which is not conducive to large-scale application. Therefore, it is essential to develop a specific, sensitive, rapid, convenient, and easily promoted diagnostic technique.
[0004] RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a is a novel technology that combines recombinase polymerase isothermal amplification with CRISPR / Cas12a technology. Using a pair of upstream and downstream primers typically spaced no more than 500 bp apart, exponential amplification of the target sequence can be achieved within 10-20 minutes in an RPA reaction system. Subsequently, a designed crRNA containing the complementary region of the target fragment guides and activates Cas12a to cleave the ssDNA surrounding the template. At this point, the fluorescent reporter molecule is cleaved, releasing the FAM group. Visible fluorescence can be observed under ultraviolet light after 30 minutes. Combining RPA and CRISPR / Cas12a offers advantages such as ease of operation, low equipment requirements, low cost, and high speed, making it suitable for on-site or production line detection.

[0023] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0025] Unless otherwise specified, the materials and processes described in the following embodiments or examples are conventional materials and processes used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.
[0026] This invention provides a rapid on-site detection method for *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* (…). P. plecoglossicida ) methods, such as Figure 1 As shown.
[0027] The operation process is as follows: Liver, spleen, and kidney tissues were aseptically collected from diseased or dead large yellow croakers suffering from visceral white spot disease. After homogenization, genomic DNA of the pathogen was rapidly extracted using cellulose test strips. The extracted DNA was then amplified by RPA reaction at 37°C for 15 min. Subsequently, a CRISPR / Cas12a cleavage reaction system was added, and the mixture was incubated for 30 minutes to generate a fluorescent signal. The presence or absence of the pathogen could be determined by visually observing green fluorescence under ultraviolet light or by quantitatively detecting the endpoint fluorescence value using a microplate reader.
[0028] Example 1: (1) Based on the gene sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that causes visceral white spot disease in large yellow croaker (DVB73_RS07365) published in GenBank, five upstream primers, five downstream primers, one fluorescent reporter probe, and one crRNA were designed by Primer blast according to the primer design requirements of recombinase polymerase amplification technology. These primer combinations were used to screen for specific amplification of the gene sequence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that causes visceral white spot disease in large yellow croaker (DVB73_RS07365). All sequences are shown in Table 1. The primers and fluorescent reporter probe were synthesized by Genewiz (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.
[0029] Table 1 shows the primer and probe sequences used. (2) Preparation of positive control samples The *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* was inoculated into 5 mL of TSB medium containing 1‰ Carb resistance and cultured overnight at 30°C. 2 mL of the bacterial culture was taken and the genome of *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* was extracted using a bacterial genome extraction kit (Tiangen DP3021). The DNA concentration was measured using a Nanodrop instrument. The concentration was diluted to 1 ng / μL as a positive control and stored at -20°C for later use.
[0030] (3) The following RPA reaction was performed using a DNA isothermal rapid amplification kit (Weifang Anpu Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number WLB8201KIT). 29.4 μL of buffer A, 2 μL of 10 μM upstream primer, 2 μL of 10 μM downstream primer, and 2 μL of 1 ng / μL template (final content 2 ng) were added to a lyophilized reagent reaction tube. dd H2O was added to bring the volume to 47.5 μL. Finally, 2.5 μL of buffer B was added to the reaction tube. After thorough mixing, the reaction solution was poured to the bottom of the tube, the cap was slowly closed, and the tube was immediately placed in an isothermal device and incubated at 37°C for 15 min. After the reaction, the reaction tube was removed, and a CRISPR / Cas12a system was added (2 μL of 10 x Cas12a reaction solution, 2 μL of Cas12a protein, 5 μL of ddH2O, 4 μL of 1 μM crRNA, and 2 μL of fluorescent reporter probe, of which 10 x Cas12a was added). The Cas12a reaction solution and Cas12a protein were obtained from Suzhou Xianda Gene Technology Co., Ltd. (product code EM124). The reaction was incubated at 37°C for a period of time. After the reaction was completed, the PCR tubes were placed under a UV lamp to observe the results and the results were recorded by visual observation. Then, the PCR reaction tubes were placed in an ELISA reader to detect the key fluorescence. The wavelength was set to 480 nm and the fluorescence value was recorded.
[0031] (3-1) Regarding RPA upstream and downstream primers: The upstream and downstream primers used in step (4) are the following four groups: RPA-F1 and RPA-R1, RPA-F2 and RPA-R2, RPA-F3 and RPA-R3, RPA-F4 and RPA-R4.
[0032] Other variables remained constant: the CRISPR / Cas12a system consisted of a final content of 100 ng Cas12a, a final concentration of 2 μM fluorescent reporter probe, and incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes.
[0033] The results are as follows Figure 2 As shown, the amplification efficiency of the four sets of RPA upstream and downstream primers was relatively good, among which the RPA-F1 / R1 primer pair returned the highest fluorescence value after the reaction.
[0034] (3-2) Regarding the required final concentrations of Cas12a protein and fluorescent reporter probe in the CRISPR / Cas12a system: The study included two groups: 50 ng Cas12a protein and 1 µM fluorescent reporter probe, and 100 ng Cas12a protein and 2 µM fluorescent reporter probe.
[0035] Other variables remained constant: the upstream and downstream primers for RPA were RPA-F1 and RPA-R1, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes after being added to the CRISPR / Cas12a system.
[0036] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in Figure A, based on visual fluorescence intensity, 100 ng Cas12a protein and 2 µM fluorescent reporter probe were selected as the optimal concentration to ensure clear and distinguishable results.
[0037] Regarding incubation time in the CRISPR / Cas12a system: Optimal reaction time was evaluated at time intervals of 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
[0038] Other variables remained constant: the upstream and downstream primers for RPA were RPA-F1 and RPA-R1, and the CRISPR / Cas12a system included a fluorescent reporter probe with a final content of 100 ng Cas12a and a final concentration of 2 μM.
[0039] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in B, incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes produces the maximum signal.
[0040] Therefore, the standard CRISPR / Cas12a reaction system is defined as containing: a final content of 100 ng Cas12a, a final concentration of 2 μM fluorescent reporter probe, and incubation at 37°C for 30 minutes.
[0041] Example 2 Specificity Evaluation DEPC water was set as a negative control, with 1 ng / μL of positive genome ( P. plecoglossicida ) was the positive control, and *Pseudomonas fluorescens* ( P. plecoglossicida ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ), Vibrio parahaemolyticus ( V. parahaemolyticus ), Vibrio alginolyticus ( V. alginolyticus ), Vibrio harveyi ( V. harveyi ), Escherichia coli ( E. coli Edwardsiella tarda ( ), E. piscicida Aeromonas salmonidae ( ) A. salmoncida () as a non-target control.
[0042] The following RPA reaction was performed using a DNA isothermal rapid amplification kit (Weifang Anpu Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number WLB8201KIT). In a lyophilized reagent reaction tube, 29.4 μL of buffer A, 2 μL of 10 μM RPA-F1, 2 μL of 10 μM RPA-R1, and 2 μL of 1 ng / μL template were added. dd H2O was added to bring the volume to 47.5 μL. Finally, 2.5 μL of buffer B was added to the reaction tube. After thorough mixing, the reaction solution was swished to the bottom of the tube, the cap was slowly closed, and the tube was immediately incubated at 37°C for 15 min. After the reaction, the reaction tube was removed, and the CRISPR / Cas12a system was added (2 μL of 10 x Cas12a reaction solution, 2 μL of Cas12a protein (final concentration 100 ng), 5 μL of ddH2O, 4 μL of 1 μM crRNA, and 2 μL of fluorescent reporter probe (final concentration 2 μM), of which 10 x Cas12a... The Cas12a reaction solution and Cas12a protein were obtained from Suzhou Xianda Gene Technology Co., Ltd. (product code: EM124). The reaction was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. After the reaction, the PCR tubes were placed under a UV lamp to observe the results and the results were recorded by visual observation. Subsequently, the PCR reaction tubes were placed in an ELISA reader to detect the key fluorescence at a wavelength of 480 nm and the fluorescence value was recorded.
[0043] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, the negative control (NC) and the DNA of eight pathogens, including *Pseudomonas fluorescens*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, *Vibrio parahaemolyticus*, *Vibrio alginolyticus*, *Vibrio harveyi*, *Escherichia coli*, *Edwards ichthyophthirius multifiliis*, and *Aeromonas salmonicidae*, were negative for amplification, while the positive control showed positive genomic DNA detection, indicating that the detection system has good specificity.
[0044] Example 3 Sensitivity Evaluation The genome of *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* was diluted to different initial concentrations (1 ng / μL, 100 pg / μL, 10 pg / μL, 1 pg / μL, 100 fg / μL, 10 fg / μL, 1 fg / μL) as a template, and DEPC water was set as a negative control.
[0045] (1) The following RPA reaction was performed using a DNA isothermal rapid amplification kit (Weifang Anpu Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number WLB8201KIT). 29.4 μL of buffer A, 2 μL of 10 μM RPA-F1, 2 μL of 10 μM RPA-R1, and 2 μL of template were added to a lyophilized reagent reaction tube. dd H2O was added to bring the volume to 47.5 μL. Finally, 2.5 μL of buffer B was added to the reaction tube. After thorough mixing, the reaction solution was poured to the bottom of the tube, and the tube was slowly capped. The tube was immediately placed in an isothermal device and incubated at 37°C for 15 min. After the reaction, the reaction tube was removed, and a CRISPR / Cas12a system was added (2 μL of 10 x Cas12a reaction solution, 2 μL of Cas12a protein (final concentration 100 ng), 5 μL of ddH2O, 4 μL of 1 μM crRNA, and 2 μL of fluorescent reporter probe (final concentration 2 μM), of which 10 x Cas12a... The Cas12a reaction solution and Cas12a protein were obtained from Suzhou Xianda Gene Technology Co., Ltd. (product code: EM124). The reaction was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. After the reaction, the PCR tubes were placed under a UV lamp to observe the results and the results were recorded by visual observation. Subsequently, the PCR reaction tubes were placed in an ELISA reader to detect the key fluorescence at a wavelength of 480 nm and the fluorescence value was recorded.
[0046] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Figure A, the negative control (NC) and sample 7 (1 fg / μL) showed no fluorescence signal, indicating a negative result. Samples 1–6 (1 ng / μL–10 fg / μL) all showed bands, indicating a positive result. Therefore, the lowest RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a detection limit for this primer-probe combination is determined to be 10 fg / μL.
[0047] (2) In the PCR reaction, the PCR-F1 / R1 primer pair (SEQ ID NO.10, SEQ ID NO.11) in Table 1 was used. The reaction system was as follows: 10 μL of 2x Taq polymerase, 7 μL of ddH2O, 1 μL each of forward and reverse primers, and 1 μL of template. The conditions should be: denaturation temperature 98℃, annealing temperature 60℃, extension temperature 72℃, and cycle number 35.
[0048] After the PCR amplification reaction was completed, 5 μL of the sample from the PCR tube was added to the well of a 1% agarose gel and electrophoresed at 200V for 15 min. Then the bands were observed under ultraviolet light.
[0049] In the PCR sensitivity test, the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in B, only (1 ng / μL~10 pg / μL) showed a clear bright band (at 636 bp), while 1 pg / μL-1 fg / μL and the negative control (NC) showed no clear band. Therefore, the lowest PCR sensitivity of this primer-probe combination can be determined to be 10 pg / μL (16.5 copies / μL).
[0050] Therefore, the sensitivity detection line of the RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a primer pair of this invention is 1000 times higher than that of PCR, and also superior to the sensitivity reported in the existing patent CN119753176A (2.34 × 10⁻⁶). 2 The results (copies / μL) demonstrate that this method has good sensitivity.
[0051] Example 4: Clinical Sample Testing To evaluate the clinical applicability of the RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a detection system of this invention, it was tested at 16-20°C with 10 μL of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 3 CFU ml -1 Large yellow croaker were infected, and death was observed 4 to 9 days after infection.
[0052] From healthy fish ( Figure 6 A) or dead fish ( Figure 6 Tissue samples (spleen, liver, and kidney) were collected in B), homogenized in 600 µL PBS, and rapid genomic DNA was extracted using cellulose test strips. The extracted DNA was directly used for RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a reactions, and the fluorescence output served as a diagnostic reading for infection.
[0053] The following RPA reaction was performed using a DNA isothermal rapid amplification kit (Weifang Anpu Future Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number WLB8201KIT). In a lyophilized reagent reaction tube, 29.4 μL of buffer A, 2 μL of 10 μM RPA-F1, 2 μL of 10 μM RPA-R1, and 2 μL of template were added. dd H2O was added to bring the volume to 47.5 μL. Finally, 2.5 μL of buffer B was added, and the mixture was thoroughly mixed. The reaction solution was then poured to the bottom of the tube, and the tube was slowly capped. The tube was immediately incubated at 37°C for 15 min. After the reaction, the tube was removed, and a CRISPR / Cas12a system was added (2 μL of 10 x Cas12a reaction solution, 2 μL of Cas12a protein (final concentration 100 ng), 5 μL of ddH2O, 4 μL of 1 μM crRNA, and 2 μL of fluorescent reporter probe (final concentration 2 μM), of which 10 x Cas12a... The Cas12a reaction solution and Cas12a protein were obtained from Suzhou Xianda Gene Technology Co., Ltd. (product code: EM124). The reaction was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. After the reaction, the PCR tubes were placed under a UV lamp to observe the results and the results were recorded by visual observation. Subsequently, the PCR reaction tubes were placed in an ELISA reader to detect the key fluorescence at a wavelength of 480 nm and the fluorescence value was recorded.
[0054] according to Figure 6 The results showed that the RPA-CRISPR / Cas12a detection method of the present invention could successfully detect the presence of the pathogen *Pseudomonas aeruginosa* in the spleen, liver and kidney of diseased and dead fish, proving the practicality of the present invention.
