A kind of new method of fast quantification nemic death rate
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of new method of fast quantification nemic death rate, and the application of this method in drug screening, pesticide screening test, environmental evaluation, water quality assessment etc., belong to the application of model organism.
Background technology
Caenorhabditis elegans (C.elegans) is the nematode of a kind of growth in soil, take bacterium as food, is easy in laboratory cultures.Become the long 1mm of polypide, and entire body is transparent, is easy under the microscope observe.L
3~ L
4phase is responsive to external world.From the adult that a development of fertilized ova becomes can lay eggs, it only needs 3 days.In its natural state, Caenorhabditis elegans overwhelming majority individuality is hermaphroditic, and its all one's life can produce about 300 embryonated eggs, if put several nematodes on a double dish, just can obtain a large amount of offsprings after several days
[1].These features above-mentioned make Caenorhabditis elegans have application in a lot
[2].
The people such as Xiamen University Ke Ling
[3]using Caenorhabditis elegans as the indicator organism of heavy metal pollution, have studied Cu
2+, Cd
2+, Pb
2+, Zn
2+deng the toxicity of 4 heavy metal species ion pair Caenorhabditis elegans, find that concentration of heavy metal ion is higher, toxicity is stronger, and nemic death rate is higher.In high concentration group, the toxic reaction of nematode is comparatively rapid, just occurs death in a short time; And in low concentration group, toxic reaction is comparatively slow, just occur death through the long period, each relative to other group of control group, the time-to-live is the longest.The people such as the Yan Wen of Beijing Normal University
[4]caenorhabditis elegans is used for the monitoring of ambient water quality, relation is closely there is between same discovery Caenorhabditis elegans survival rate and Toxicity of Water Samples, Toxicity of Water Samples is larger, nemic death rate is higher, therefore can evaluate drinking water resource and water factory's fresh water (FW) Toxicity of Water Samples by the survival rate of Caenorhabditis elegans.The people such as Wang Xiao
[5]also Caenorhabditis elegans is used for the tracking to acid-base class poisonous substance in waste water of paper mill.Experiment display, indicates Heavy Metal Pollution, Toxicity of Water Samples size etc. both to reduce experimental cost with Caenorhabditis elegans, turn improves detection efficiency, so utilize its indicator organism as environmental evaluation, water quality assessment to have considerable application prospect.
The people such as Wan Shuqing
[6]evaluate gossypol by the mortality ratio of Caenorhabditis elegans, Nemacur, Isofenphos methyl, omethoate, Methomyl, the insecticidal effect of the Multiple Pesticides such as copper sulphate, achieve desirable effect.Experiment display: the rate of knockdown of gossypol to Caenorhabditis elegans is better than other several nematode killing agents, and Nemacur takes second place, and the rate of knockdown of other several agricultural chemicals to Caenorhabditis elegans all can be clearly seen that from experimental result.This result is consistent with using silkworm moth as the result of study of experimental subjects
[7].External research Caenorhabditis elegans being used for anthelmintic drug medicine efficacy screening in body has relevant article and delivers
[8], for the in vitro study of anthelmintic provides feasible method, and present good selectivity, accuracy and repeatability, and with low cost.These researchs show, the confession that the size of nemic death rate has been reacted tries the drug effect of thing and the size of toxicity, and therefore, nematode judgement anyway just becomes the important experimental index of this kind of research.
Judge that nematode classic method is anyway figure's method.Namely dead nematode is many in spasticity, and the stooped posture of living, generally coil or wriggle.But this method is to being inapplicable in nematode that is inactive and palsy, now can only touches with platinum filament and pulling out nematode it is anyway to cause nematode movement to differentiate, therefore this method time-consuming, require great effort, workload is very big.In order to change this situation, the people such as Wan Shuqing
[6]attempt distinguish life or death nematode by colouring method thus measure the activity of measured object nematode killing agent, they compare dimethyl diaminophenazine chloride, methyl blue, safranine, the Color of 4 kinds of dyestuffs such as eosin, finds that these 4 kinds of dyestuffs can make dead nematode painted, and living nematode is not painted, safranine effect is best.But this method still needs to count one by one under the microscope, workload is still very large.
United States Patent (USP) (patent No. is 20060191023) discloses a kind of colouring method applying fluorescent dye method to differentiate nematode anyway.This method is for the screening study of anthelmintic drug, due to the nematode unstressed configuration of living after dyeing, and the nematode of death has fluorescence, the size of test fluorescence intensity is utilized to determine the mortality ratio of nematode, like this for high flux screening provides guarantee, but this method is still higher to equipment requirement, be difficult to be able to promotion and application in common lab.
Because nematode self has weight, sink very soon in aqueous, so fluorescence high-throughput screening method carried above exists another restriction point: be namely difficult to grasp for the quantity of examination nematode in each hole in porous plate.United States Patent (USP) (patent No. 20030154501) certain density PEG8000, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone, glycerite, nematode can be made to be uniformly distributed in solution, to ensure that nematode evenly adds porous plate, make for examination nematode population controlled.But above-mentioned drug price is higher and have certain toxicity to nematode.
In view of the defect that prior art exists, the invention provides a kind of new method of fast quantification nemic death rate simple, with low cost, the aspects such as new medicament screen, pesticide screening test, environmental evaluation water quality assessment can be conveniently used in.
