Description

Fusobacterium nucleatum specific DNA sequence and application and detection method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicine, in particular to a segment of fusobacterium nucleatum specific DNA sequence, application and a detection method thereof.
Background
Intestinal flora plays an important role in human diseases. The imbalance of fusobacterium (Fusobacterium) in the intestinal flora is closely related to the occurrence and development of a variety of diseases. Clinical studies have shown that enrichment of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fusobacterium nucleatum) in the gut is highly correlated with the development of colorectal cancer (colorectal cancer, CRC). Recent studies have further shown that fusobacterium nucleatum is an important CRC pathogen that has important regulatory effects on key pro-cancerous molecules in CRC tumor cells, promoting tumor invasion and migration; also can activate autophagy of tumor cells, resulting in CRC chemotherapy resistance; it also has important regulating effect on immune microenvironment, and can promote tumor metastasis by inducing macrophage to express chemotactic factor. In tumor tissues and feces of patients with CRC, the significantly elevated abundance of F.nucleatum is correlated with poor prognosis and recurrence. In addition, fusobacterium nucleatum can secrete outer membrane vesicles in inflammatory bowel disease to promote intestinal inflammation.
The primer relied by the quantitative PCR detection of the clostridium nucleatum in the intestinal tract is not specific, and the primer has non-specific amplification to related relatively-close strains such as F.periodontics, F.pseudobacteriovoricosum, F.hwasokii and the like, and influences the accuracy of results. Thus, there is still a lack of a more accurate method for PCR detection of F.nucleatum, and accurate determination of the abundance of F.nucleatum in the intestinal tract is crucial for understanding its distribution and the exact association with the disease.
The most widely used fusobacterium nucleatum detection primers at present are Fn-F/R (Genome Res2012, 22:299-306) targeting nusG genes, and in addition, primers targeting 16S rRNA genes and fadA genes (Ann Clin Biochem 2022,59:396-403;J Med Microbiol 2016,65:760-769) have been reported. However, these primers lack specificity and their targets are ubiquitous in F.periodontium, F.pseudobacteriophadiobium, F.hwasokiii, etc., e.g., the inventors have previously demonstrated that Fn-F/R primers can amplify bands in F.putida (Microb Biotechnol2021, 14:2176-2186); in addition, in the detection technology based on high-throughput sequencing, 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing cannot reach strain resolution, and thus detection of the level of Fusobacterium nucleatum strain cannot be achieved. Metagenome and FrpoB-seq technologies can be used for detecting the clostridium nucleatum more accurately at present, wherein FrpoB-seq technology is the most accurate clostridium high-resolution detection technology developed by the inventor in advance, but the two methods are complex in operation, long in detection period and complex in analysis, and cannot be applied to rapid detection.
Therefore, there is still a lack of a precise PCR detection method for Fusobacterium nucleatum, and there is an urgent need to develop a set of primers capable of precisely detecting Fusobacterium nucleatum.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to overcome at least one problem in the prior art, the invention screens a section of DNA sequence with high specificity to the clostridium nucleatum, designs corresponding detection primers, and describes the accuracy of the application of the detection primers to the clostridium nucleatum detection. The invention is helpful for precisely revealing the abundance of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the focus and the exact relation between the Fusobacterium nucleatum and the disease.
It is noted that F.nucleatum has a high degree of genetic diversity, 4 subspecies of which have been redefined as independent species and named F.animalis (primordium subspecies), F.polymorpha (primordium subspecies), F.venturi (primordium subspecies) and F.nucleatum (primordium subspecies). However, in keeping with previous studies, the term "Fusobacterium nucleatum" as used hereinafter in the present invention is intended to refer broadly to a collection of these 4 newly defined species (original 4 subspecies) rather than to the newly defined Fusobacterium nucleatum species (original "subspecies").
In order to achieve the above purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

Specifically, the PCR amplification reagents include a general PCR amplification reagent or a real-time quantitative PCR amplification reagent.
The specific sequences and the primer sequences corresponding to the specific sequences are shown in the following table:

Example 1-selection of Fusobacterium nucleatum specific fragment Fn-SR and design of detection primer therefor
In this example, a specific DNA sequence (Fn-SR) of F.nucleatum is obtained by comparative genomics, and the detection primer is designed based on the specific fragment selected, and the specific method comprises the following steps:
(1) Screening of specific DNA sequences Fn-SR
The sequenced fusobacterium genome is downloaded from the NCBI public database, including the completion map and the sketch. The genome analysis was performed on F.nucleatum respectively using PGAP software. From the obtained gene cluster (gene cluster), genes highly conserved at the nucleotide sequence level in F.nucleatum are selected by sequence alignment, namely, the genes exist in more than 98% of F.nucleatum genome, and the nucleotide sequence consistency among strains is not lower than 85%. And then genes which have no homology with other fusobacterium and other species at the nucleotide level are screened out by comparison, namely genes which are conserved and specific for the fusobacterium nucleatum. The obtained gene sequence was subjected to nucleotide sequence alignment with non-fusobacterium species in NCBI nucleotide database, genes having higher sequence similarity (60%) with other species were further deleted, and genes containing insertions, truncations, and copy number inconsistencies among strains were excluded. Finally, 1 gene, defined as a specific DNA fragment of Fusobacterium nucleatum type, was obtained by screening and named Fn-SR. The above analysis incorporated 70 F.nucleatum genomes altogether, with this fragment being present in 69 (98.6%) genomes; specific fragments which are present in all F.nucleatum genomes and meet the above requirements have not been obtained. The sequence information of the Fn-SR is specifically as follows:
TTGATATCAACTTTAAGTTTTTCTTATCAAGTTAATTATGATGATGTAGTTGATATAGT

TATATAGTTGAAGTTAAGGAAGATAAATCTGAAAAAGAAATAAGAATTGATGCTAATAGTGGGAAAGTTATTGGTATAAAAGAGGAGGAGTAA(SEQ ID NO.1)
The nucleotide sequence alignment of the genome of the F.nucleatum strain sequenced from NCBI with the specific fragment Fn-SR, as shown in FIG. 1, shows that the specific fragment is present in 98.6% (69/70) of F.nucleatum ('Fn') genome (homologous sequence is present) and not in other F.nucleatum species. Nucleotide sequence conservation was over 85%. The above results demonstrate that the specific fragment Fn-SR can be used to characterize F.nucleatum.
(2) Design of detection primers
On the basis of the screened specific fragment Fn-SR, all the corresponding known sequences are subjected to multiple sequence comparison, a group of universal amplification primers are designed in a relatively conserved region, and the designed primers comprise 1 forward primer containing a facultative base and 3 reverse primers containing a facultative base as a group of primers because of unavoidable sequence polymorphism in a target region, and the four primers need to be mixed simultaneously. Specific sequence information of the primers is as follows:
YTATCCTCAATCAAGAGTTACAA(Fn-SR-F,SEQ ID NO.1);
AGRATTTTAYCRGTATTAGCATCRAT(Fn-SR-Ra,SEQ ID NO.2);
AARATTTTWCCASTATTAGCATCAAT(Fn-SR-Rb,SEQ ID NO.3);
ATAACTTTCCCACTATTAGCATCAAT(Fn-SR-Rc,SEQ ID NO.4)。
example 2 use of Fusobacterium nucleatum specific primers in Single Strain samples
This example demonstrates the detection of F.nucleatum in a single strain sample using the primer set designed in example 1, comprising the steps of:
Total DNA of Fusobacterium strains listed in FIG. 2, which have been clearly classified into species, was extracted. The Fusobacterium strains were inoculated to commercial Columbia blood plates or thioglycolate liquid medium, anaerobically cultured at 37℃for 2 days, and the bacterial cells were collected, and total DNA of each strain was extracted by using a commercial bacterial genome DNA extraction kit according to the procedures listed in the specification.
PCR amplification was performed using the primers designed in example 1 (Fn-SR-F, fn-SR-Ra, fn-SR-Rb, fn-SR-Rc of the sequences shown in SEQ ID No.1 to SEQ ID No. 4) to identify whether it was F.nucleatum. Specifically, PCR amplification was performed using primer pairs in Table 1 using a reaction system of 10ng of DNA template per reaction as specified in the instruction using Premix Taq (Ex Taq Version 2.0plus dye) or a similar commercial PCR kit. The reaction conditions are as follows; 98℃for 10 seconds, 55℃for 20 seconds, 72℃for 30 seconds, thereby cycling through 35. The amplified product was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis to detect the presence or absence of a band at the expected size position.
The results of the above experiments are shown in fig. 2: the primers were amplified in both F.nucleatum ('Fn') strains, but not in other F.nucleatum strains, indicating that the primers were effective in identifying F.nucleatum and that the specificity and sensitivity of the primers were 100% in the incorporated strains.
EXAMPLE 3 use of Fusobacterium nucleatum specific primers in mixed thallus containing samples
This example shows that the primers designed in example 1 (Fn-SR-F, fn-SR-Ra, fn-SR-Rb, fn-SR-Rc, shown in SEQ ID NO.1 to SEQ ID NO. 4) were not amplified in human DNA (whole blood sample) and in faeces and colorectal cancer (CRC) tissue samples without F.sub.bacteria (shown in part A of FIG. 3), indicating that they are not affected by the background of the host and other flora. Specifically, taking a whole blood DNA sample to represent a human host DNA background, taking feces and CRC tissue sample DNA without clostridium to represent a human flora DNA background and a flora plus host background respectively, and carrying out PCR amplification; meanwhile, the F.nucleic ATCC 25586 and F.varium THCT E1 strain DNA are adopted as positive control and negative control respectively, and a reaction system is adopted without adding a DNA template. The amount of DNA template of human sample is 100ng per reaction, and the amount of DNA template of strain is 10ng per reaction by adopting Premix Taq (Ex Taq Version 2.0 plus dye) or similar commercial PCR kit according to the reaction system given by the instruction. The reaction conditions are as follows; 98℃for 10 seconds, 55℃for 20 seconds, 72℃for 30 seconds, thereby cycling through 35. The amplified product was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis to see if a band appeared at the expected size position. The stool samples in part a of fig. 3 used healthy Human (HC) and CRC patient stools.
Further, the present example applies the primer to real-time quantitative PCR to detect abundance of fusobacterium nucleatum in stool and tissue samples; wherein the stool sample comprises stool samples of healthy people and CRC patients, and the tissue sample comprises tumor tissue of CRC patients and paired normal colorectal tissue samples. The detection was performed using the general primer of the V6 region of the 16S rRNA gene as an internal control (Geller,L.T.et al."Potential role of intratumor bacteria in mediating tumor resistance to the chemotherapeutic drug gemcitabine",Science,2017,357:1156–1160)., and also using the widely used F.nucleatum primers Fn-F and Fn-R(Castellarin,M.et al."Fusobacterium nucleatum infection is prevalent in human colorectal carcinoma",Genome Research,2012,22:299–306). A TB Green Premix Ex Taq TM II (TLI RNASEH Plus) kit was used, and the amount of DNA template per reaction was 100ng according to the reaction system given in the specification. The reaction conditions are as follows; the-DeltaCt values were calculated at 50℃for 2 minutes, 95℃for 30 seconds, then at 98℃for 5 seconds, 55℃for 34 seconds, and 70℃for 30 seconds for 40 cycles. Correlation analysis of the detection results with the FrpoB-seq results of the samples (methods and results the inventors have previously published in Dexi Bi,et al."Profiling Fusobacteriuminfection at high taxonomic resolution reveals lineage-specific correlations in colorectal cancer",Nature Communications,2022,13:3336), frpoB-seq is the most accurate fusobacterium high resolution detection technique so far, which can provide more accurate fusobacterium nucleatum abundance data.
The specific sequences of the above-used internal reference primers (general primers for the V6 region of the 16S rRNA gene) and Fn-F/R primers are as follows:
The correlation results are shown in section B of FIG. 3, and the experimental results show that the detection results of the primers of the embodiment have high consistency with the abundance of Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) obtained by FrpoB-seq, and the Spearman correlation coefficient is close to 0.9. However, the Spearman correlation coefficient of the Fn-F/R detection result in the prior art only reaches about 0.6. The above results demonstrate that the fusobacterium nucleatum specific primers employed in this example have accurate quantitative detection capability in mixed cell-containing samples.
As can be seen from the above examples, the present invention employs a specific screening method to determine a DNA sequence highly specific to Fusobacterium nucleatum, and on the basis of the sequence, a set of reference compositions are designed, which have excellent specificity and sensitivity, can realize direct and rapid qualitative and quantitative detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum, and the detection accuracy is significantly better than that of the existing detection method.
The above description of the specific embodiments of the present invention has been given by way of example only, and the present invention is not limited to the above described specific embodiments. Any equivalent modifications and substitutions for the present invention will occur to those skilled in the art, and are also within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, equivalent changes and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
