本発明は、試料中に含有されるヌクレオチドの抽出方法に関し、具体的にはアデノシン三リン酸(ATP)、グアノシン三リン酸(GTP)及び/又はウリジン三リン酸(UTP)等のヌクレオチドの抽出方法に関する。さらには、本発明はヌクレオチド抽出用試薬及びヌクレオチド測定用試薬キットに関する。   The present invention relates to a method for extracting nucleotides contained in a sample, specifically, extraction of nucleotides such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and / or uridine triphosphate (UTP). Regarding the method. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a nucleotide extraction reagent and a nucleotide measurement reagent kit.

本出願は、参照によりここに援用されるところの日本出願特願2008−017863号優先権を請求する。   This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-017863, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ATPは、すべての生物の細胞内に含まれるヌクレオチドである。試料中に含まれるATPの測定は、各種工業分野において広く行なわれている。特に、食品衛生、バイオ、臨床検査、医学等の現場では、試料中の微生物の有無の判定、該微生物の細胞数の計数等を目的として、細胞内ATPの測定が行なわれている。細胞内ATPを測定する場合、細胞を含む試料に界面活性剤等を添加して細胞内ATPを抽出した後、抽出されたATPを測定する方法が多用されている。   ATP is a nucleotide contained in the cells of all living organisms. Measurement of ATP contained in a sample is widely performed in various industrial fields. In particular, in the field of food sanitation, biotechnology, clinical examination, medicine, etc., intracellular ATP is measured for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of microorganisms in a sample, counting the number of cells of the microorganisms, and the like. When measuring intracellular ATP, a method of measuring the extracted ATP after adding a surfactant or the like to a sample containing cells and extracting the intracellular ATP is frequently used.

近年、ヒトで起こる様々な疾患が、組織のエネルギー産生の低下によって起こることが明らかにされている。組織のエネルギー産生の低下とは、具体的には、組織を構成する個々の細胞のATPレベルの減少を示しており、先天的なミトコンドリア遺伝子の変異によって起こる場合と、後天的な遺伝子変異やウイルス感染等によって起こる場合がある。先天性の疾患としてはミトコンドリア脳筋症(CPEO: chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, MELAS: mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes, MERRF: myoclonus epilepsy associated with ragged red fibers)等が知られており、後天性の疾患としては脳梗塞、脳の神経変性疾患(Alzheimer's 病、Parkinson's病、Huntington's病、ウイルス性の脳症)等が報告されている。また、これらの疾患では、痙攣、てんかん、精神運動発達遅延、筋力低下、肝機能障害、感音性難聴等の全身での臨床症状が認められることが特徴である。   In recent years, it has been clarified that various diseases occurring in humans are caused by a decrease in tissue energy production. Specifically, the decrease in tissue energy production indicates a decrease in the ATP level of individual cells constituting the tissue, and it is caused by congenital mitochondrial gene mutations, acquired gene mutations and viruses. It may be caused by infection. Known congenital diseases include mitochondrial encephalomyopathy (CPEO: chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia, MELAS: mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes, MERRF: myoclonus epilepsy associated with ragged red fibers) As acquired diseases, cerebral infarction, neurodegenerative diseases of the brain (Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, viral encephalopathy) and the like have been reported. In addition, these diseases are characterized by general clinical symptoms such as convulsions, epilepsy, psychomotor development delay, muscle weakness, liver dysfunction, and sensorineural hearing loss.

このような事実から、生体内の様々な組織のATPレベルを正確に測定する技術は、1)組織におけるミトコンドリアの病理学の研究、2)遺伝子疾患の診断・予防という観点から、臨床医学的にも重要である。もし、この技術が確立されれば、各組織のエネルギー状態、代謝機能の状態、生理学的ストレスの状態を調べることが可能となる。このような細胞内ATPレベルの減少・枯渇によって発症する多様な疾患の研究は、その大半が培養細胞を用いた人工的環境下での研究であり、細胞のミトコンドリアの膜電位を指標とした蛍光プローブ(MitoTracker(R)、JC-1(R):Invitrogen社)等を用いた間接的半定量法による細胞外からのATPレベルのモニターか、細胞を破壊して含まれるATPを測定しているのが現状である。From these facts, the technology to accurately measure the ATP level of various tissues in the living body is clinically and medically from the viewpoints of 1) research of mitochondrial pathology in tissues and 2) diagnosis and prevention of genetic diseases. It is also important. If this technology is established, it will be possible to examine the energy status, metabolic function status, and physiological stress status of each tissue. Most of the studies on various diseases that develop due to the decrease and depletion of intracellular ATP level are studies in an artificial environment using cultured cells, and fluorescence using the membrane potential of mitochondria of cells as an index. Monitors the ATP level from the outside by an indirect semi-quantitative method using probes (MitoTracker (R) , JC-1 (R) : Invitrogen), or measures ATP contained by destroying cells. is the current situation.

ATPの測定法としては、例えば生物発光反応、具体的にはルシフェリン−ルシフェラーゼ発光反応を利用して測定するキット(ENLITEN(R) ATP Assay System:プロメガ社)がすでに開発されており、市販されている。特に、食品衛生、バイオ、臨床検査、医学等の現場では、試料中の微生物の有無の判定、該微生物の細胞数の計数等を目的として、細胞内ATPレベルの測定が行なわれている。試料中のATPレベルを測定する場合、試料からATPを抽出してATPを定量的に測定することが必要である。As a method for measuring ATP, for example, a kit (ENLITEN® ATP Assay System: Promega ) that uses a bioluminescence reaction, specifically a luciferin-luciferase luminescence reaction, has already been developed and is commercially available. Yes. In particular, in the field of food hygiene, biotechnology, clinical examination, medicine, etc., intracellular ATP levels are measured for the purpose of determining the presence or absence of microorganisms in a sample, counting the number of cells of the microorganisms, and the like. When measuring the ATP level in a sample, it is necessary to extract ATP from the sample and quantitatively measure ATP.

試料からATPを抽出する方法として、1)過塩素酸をベースにした抽出法(PCA抽出法)(非特許文献1)、2)蒸留水中で加熱する方法(Boiling抽出法)(非特許文献2)が報告されている。その後、ATP抽出効率の高い方法として、プロテインキナーゼKで処理をする改良法(Proteinase K抽出法)が報告された(非特許文献3)。また、培養細胞からATPを抽出する方法として、トリクロロ酢酸をベースにした抽出法(TCA抽出法)が報告されている(非特許文献4,5)。さらに、最近では、動物組織のATPレベルを測定するためのキット(『組織の』ATP測定キットTM:東洋ビーネット社)が市販されており、PEG含有抽出用溶液がATP抽出用試薬として添付されている。As a method for extracting ATP from a sample, 1) an extraction method based on perchloric acid (PCA extraction method) (Non-Patent Document 1), 2) a method of heating in distilled water (Boiling extraction method) (Non-Patent Document 2) ) Has been reported. Thereafter, an improved method of treating with protein kinase K (Proteinase K extraction method) was reported as a method with high ATP extraction efficiency (Non-patent Document 3). As a method for extracting ATP from cultured cells, an extraction method based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA extraction method) has been reported (Non-patent Documents 4 and 5). Furthermore, recently, kits for measuring ATP levels in animal tissues ("Tissue" ATP Measurement Kit TM : Toyo B-Net Co., Ltd.) are commercially available, and a PEG-containing extraction solution is attached as an ATP extraction reagent. ing.

このように様々な改良方法を考案しなければならないように、従来の方法は操作が煩雑であったり、試料中のタンパク質変性凝集塊中にATPが混入して抽出効率が下がる、用いるタンパク質変性剤の影響によるATP測定の阻害、等の問題があった。例えば、ATPの測定法がルシフェリン−ルシフェラーゼ発光反応を利用する方法である場合、上記タンパク質変性剤としてTCAを用いると、測定系が酸性となって発光反応が阻害されるという問題、試料中のタンパク質濃度が高い場合に、変性タンパク質に覆われたATPが抽出されない問題、等がある。そのため、従来の測定方法では、培養細胞等比較的タンパク質濃度の低い条件ではほぼ正確にATPレベルを測定することは可能であるが、タンパク質濃度の高い生体組織中のATPを測定する場合、ATPの抽出効率が急激に低下してATPレベルを正確に測定しているとはいえない。   As described above, it is necessary to devise various improved methods. Conventional methods are complicated in operation, or ATP is mixed in protein-denatured agglomerates in a sample to reduce extraction efficiency. There was a problem such as inhibition of ATP measurement due to the influence of. For example, when the method for measuring ATP is a method using luciferin-luciferase luminescence reaction, if TCA is used as the protein denaturing agent, the measurement system becomes acidic and the luminescence reaction is inhibited. When the concentration is high, there is a problem that ATP covered with the denatured protein is not extracted. Therefore, in the conventional measurement method, it is possible to measure the ATP level almost accurately under conditions of relatively low protein concentration such as cultured cells. However, when measuring ATP in a biological tissue having a high protein concentration, It cannot be said that the extraction efficiency decreases rapidly and the ATP level is accurately measured.

さらには、生物の細胞内には、ATP以外にもGTP、UTP、CTPや各種デオキシヌクレオチド等多種のヌクレオチドが存在している。これらのヌクレオチドも、生体を維持するために必要であるが、効果的な抽出方法や測定方法が十分に解明されているとはいえない。各種ヌクレオチドが効果的に抽出され、各ヌクレオチド特異的な測定方法が開発されれば、生物中における各ヌクレオチドの存在や機能について更に解明されることになり医療、食品、各種工業分野において有用と考えられるが、これらのヌクレオチドの抽出効率もいまだ十分とはいえない。   Furthermore, in addition to ATP, various nucleotides such as GTP, UTP, CTP, and various deoxynucleotides exist in living cells. These nucleotides are also necessary for maintaining the living body, but it cannot be said that effective extraction methods and measurement methods have been sufficiently elucidated. If various nucleotides are effectively extracted and each nucleotide-specific measurement method is developed, the existence and function of each nucleotide in living organisms will be further elucidated, and it will be useful in medical, food and various industrial fields. However, the extraction efficiency of these nucleotides is still not sufficient.

本発明は、簡便に効率よく試料中のヌクレオチドを抽出する方法を提供することを課題とし、具体的にATP、GTP及び/又はUTP等のヌクレオチドの抽出方法を提供することを課題とする。さらにはヌクレオチド測定のために使用するヌクレオチド抽出用試薬及びヌクレオチド測定用試薬キットを提供することを課題とする。   An object of the present invention is to provide a method for easily and efficiently extracting nucleotides in a sample, and specifically to provide a method for extracting nucleotides such as ATP, GTP and / or UTP. It is another object of the present invention to provide a nucleotide extraction reagent and a nucleotide measurement reagent kit used for nucleotide measurement.

本発明者らは上記課題を解決するために鋭意研究を重ねた結果、フェノール化合物を含む溶液を用いることで、タンパク質変性凝集塊へのATP混入による抽出効率の低下を生じることなく、試料から効率よくヌクレオチドを抽出できることを見出し、本発明を完成した。   As a result of intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have used a solution containing a phenol compound, so that the efficiency from a sample can be reduced without causing a decrease in extraction efficiency due to ATP mixing into a protein-denatured aggregate. The inventors have found that nucleotides can be extracted well and completed the present invention.

Samples include, for example, biological tissues, urine, feces, blood, sputum, pus, cells, cell cultures, industrial products such as food, medicine, cosmetics, semi-finished products, raw materials, seawater, river water, industrial water Sewage, soil and the like. Samples in various tests such as a bacterial contamination test, a cleanliness test, and a wiping test can also be used as samples in the present invention. Furthermore, a solution obtained by suspending the sample in an appropriate solvent (for example, distilled water, physiological saline, phosphate buffer, Tris buffer, sodium acetate buffer, or the like) may be used as the sample. When the sample contains a solid content, the sample can be treated in the same manner as a solution by suspending the sample in the solvent or homogenizing with a mixer or the like.

本発明のヌクレオチド抽出方法に使用されるフェノール化合物は、フェノール基を有する化合物であって、試料中のヌクレオチドを抽出しうる化合物であれば良く、特に限定されない。特に好適にはフェノールである。フェノール化合物を含む溶液には、クロロホルムを含んでいても良い。また、フェノール化合物を含む溶液には、タンパク質変性剤を含んでいても良い。ここにおいて、タンパク質変性剤とは、自体公知のものが挙げられ、特に従来のATP抽出方法に使用可能であったタンパク質変性剤が好適である。そのようなタンパク質変性剤としては、グアニジンイソチアネート、過塩素酸、TCA、プロテインキナーゼK等が挙げられる。しかしながら、試料中に、ATP分解酵素以外のタンパク質が多く含まれる場合には、タンパク質変性剤を加えることでタンパク質が変性して凝集する場合がある。このような場合には測定対象物であるATP等の核酸が変性により凝集したタンパク質中に埋没して抽出が困難になってしまう場合もあり、正確な測定ができるとはいえない。また、従来のATP抽出方法である加熱処理方法も、本発明のヌクレオチド抽出方法に組み合わせて処理することができるが、タンパク質が多く含まれる試料の場合には、同様に加熱により変性したタンパク質中に核酸が取り込まれる場合もある。従って、タンパク変性剤や加熱処理を組み合わせないでフェノール化合物を含む溶液で処理することが最も効率的にヌクレオチドを抽出することができるものと考えられる。   The phenol compound used in the nucleotide extraction method of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound having a phenol group and can extract a nucleotide in a sample. Particularly preferred is phenol. The solution containing the phenol compound may contain chloroform. Further, the solution containing the phenol compound may contain a protein denaturant. Here, examples of the protein denaturing agent include those known per se, and protein denaturing agents that can be used in conventional ATP extraction methods are particularly suitable. Examples of such protein denaturing agents include guanidine isothiocyanate, perchloric acid, TCA, protein kinase K, and the like. However, if the sample contains a large amount of protein other than ATP-degrading enzyme, the protein may be denatured and aggregated by adding a protein denaturant. In such a case, a nucleic acid such as ATP, which is a measurement object, may be buried in a protein aggregated due to denaturation and extraction may be difficult, and it cannot be said that accurate measurement can be performed. In addition, the heat treatment method, which is a conventional ATP extraction method, can also be treated in combination with the nucleotide extraction method of the present invention. Nucleic acids may be incorporated. Therefore, it is considered that nucleotides can be extracted most efficiently by treatment with a solution containing a phenol compound without combining a protein denaturant or heat treatment.

本発明のフェノール化合物を含む溶液のpHは特に限定されないが、最も感度良く測定を行うためには、ルシフェラーゼ測定試薬等、核酸測定試薬において最も効率的に反応しうるpHに合わせることが適当と考えられる。本発明のフェノール化合物を含む溶液を用いて試料を処理した場合には、例えばpH 4〜10等どのようなpHの溶液で処理しても、従来の抽出方法に比べて効果的にヌクレオチドが抽出される。例えばルシフェラーゼ試薬を用いてATPを測定する場合には、ルシフェラーゼの特質によりpH 7〜9付近で効果的な測定を行うことができるため、本発明のフェノール化合物を含む溶液は、これらのpHとすることができ、より好適にはpH 8付近とすることができる。上記のヌクレオチド抽出方法に使用されるフェノール化合物を含む溶液は、試料からのヌクレオチド抽出用試薬として利用することができる。   The pH of the solution containing the phenolic compound of the present invention is not particularly limited, but in order to perform the measurement with the highest sensitivity, it is considered appropriate to adjust to the pH at which the nucleic acid measurement reagent can react most efficiently, such as a luciferase measurement reagent. It is done. When a sample is treated with a solution containing the phenolic compound of the present invention, nucleotides can be extracted more effectively than with conventional extraction methods, regardless of the pH, such as pH 4-10. Is done. For example, when ATP is measured using a luciferase reagent, effective measurement can be performed in the vicinity of pH 7 to 9 due to the characteristics of luciferase, so the solution containing the phenol compound of the present invention has these pHs. More preferably, the pH can be around 8. The solution containing the phenol compound used in the above-described nucleotide extraction method can be used as a reagent for nucleotide extraction from a sample.

本発明のヌクレオチド抽出用試薬におけるフェノール化合物の溶媒は、特に限定されないが、例えばTE(10mM Tris-HCl pH8.0, 1mM EDTA)を用いることができる。さらに、必要に応じて安定化剤を加えても良い。   The solvent of the phenol compound in the reagent for nucleotide extraction of the present invention is not particularly limited, and for example, TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA) can be used. Furthermore, you may add a stabilizer as needed.

本発明のヌクレオチド抽出方法によると、試料に各種ヌクレオチドが存在する場合は、ATPのみならず、GTPやUTP等も効果的に抽出される。本発明のヌクレオチドの測定は、測定目的対象物に応じて適宜測定方法を選択することができ、自体公知の方法、または今後開発されるあらゆる測定方法を含めることができる。今後開発される方法については、例えばATP、GTP又はUTP等の測定用試薬であって、目的に応じて、各々の核酸特異的に測定可能な試薬を用いて測定することが好ましい。   According to the nucleotide extraction method of the present invention, when various nucleotides are present in a sample, not only ATP but also GTP and UTP are effectively extracted. For the measurement of the nucleotide of the present invention, a measurement method can be appropriately selected according to the measurement target, and a method known per se or any measurement method developed in the future can be included. As for a method to be developed in the future, for example, it is preferable to measure using a reagent for measurement such as ATP, GTP, UTP, etc., and depending on the purpose, it can be measured specifically for each nucleic acid.

自体公知の方法として、例えばATPの測定についてはルシフェリン−ルシフェラーゼ発光反応を利用する方法、ATP変換反応を利用する方法等を適用することができる。ルシフェリン−ルシフェラーゼ発光反応を利用するATPの測定方法としては、ルシフェリンおよびルシフェラーゼを含む発光試薬と、標的ATPとを、金属イオン(マグネシウムイオン等)の存在下で接触させ、生成した光の発光量を測定する方法が挙げられる。例えば、市販のATP測定用キットとして、ENLITEN(R) ATP Assay System:プロメガ社、「細胞の」ATP測定キットTM:東洋ビーネット社、「組織の」ATP測定キットTM:東洋ビーネット社、ルシフェール250プラスTM:キッコーマン、等を用いることができる。これらのATP測定用試薬を用いて測定すると、本発明のヌクレオチド抽出方法によりヌクレオチドを抽出して得た試料について、例えばGTPやUTP等のATPを除くヌクレオチドが含まれていても、ATP特異的に測定することができる。As a method known per se, for example, for the measurement of ATP, a method using a luciferin-luciferase luminescence reaction, a method using an ATP conversion reaction, or the like can be applied. As a method for measuring ATP using a luciferin-luciferase luminescence reaction, a luminescence reagent containing luciferin and luciferase is brought into contact with a target ATP in the presence of a metal ion (magnesium ion, etc.), and the amount of light emitted is determined. The method of measuring is mentioned. For example, as a commercially available ATP measurement kit, ENLITEN (R) ATP Assay System: Promega, "Cellular" ATP measurement kit TM : Toyo Benet, "Tissue" ATP measurement kit TM : Toyo Benet, Lucifer 250 Plus TM : Kikkoman, etc. can be used. When measured using these reagents for ATP measurement, the sample obtained by extracting nucleotides by the nucleotide extraction method of the present invention is ATP-specific even if nucleotides other than ATP such as GTP and UTP are included. Can be measured.

今後開発されるヌクレオチド測定方法、例えば新たなATP測定方法、その他GTPやUTP特異的な新規測定方法が開発される場合にも本発明のヌクレオチド抽出方法を適用することができる。   The nucleotide extraction method of the present invention can also be applied when a nucleotide measurement method to be developed in the future, for example, a new ATP measurement method or a new measurement method specific to GTP or UTP is developed.

本発明は、フェノール化合物を含む溶液からなる、試料からヌクレオチドを抽出するためのヌクレオチド抽出用試薬にも及ぶ。ヌクレオチド抽出用試薬には、フェノール化合物のほか、さらにクロロホルムを含有していても良い。また、本発明は、ヌクレオチド抽出用試薬及びヌクレオチド測定用試薬を含むヌクレオチド測定用試薬キットにも及ぶ。具体的には、フェノール化合物を含むヌクレオチド抽出用試薬と、ルシフェラーゼを含むATP測定用試薬を含むヌクレオチド測定用試薬キットにも及ぶ。   The present invention also extends to a nucleotide extraction reagent for extracting nucleotides from a sample, which comprises a solution containing a phenol compound. In addition to the phenol compound, the nucleotide extraction reagent may further contain chloroform. The present invention also extends to a nucleotide measurement reagent kit including a nucleotide extraction reagent and a nucleotide measurement reagent. Specifically, it extends to a nucleotide measurement reagent kit including a nucleotide extraction reagent containing a phenol compound and an ATP measurement reagent containing luciferase.

実施例2、比較例1及び2の、各ヌクレオチド抽出方法で得られた肝組織の抽出液中のヌクレオチド(ATP、UTP、GTP、CTP、ITP)の抽出について調べた。
各抽出物の分析は、東ソー株式会社のHPLC分析情報(Data code: G00707)に準じて行った。本分析は溶離液としてアセトニトリル/75 mM カリウム2水素リン酸水溶液(70:30, v/v)、HPLCカラムとしてTSK-gel(R) Amide-80(5 μm、I.D. 4.6×250 mm)(東ソー株式会社)およびHPLC装置として日立高速液体クロマトグラフィー LaChromTM ELUTEシリーズ:日立ハイテクノロジーズ社を使用して実施した。抽出液は希釈せず0.025 mLをカラムに供し、カラム温度30℃、1.0 mL/minの流速、260 nmの波長でモニターした。なお、標準核酸物質としてATP、UTP、GTP、CTP(シグマ社)を使用した。

(実験例2)各組織中のヌクレオチド量について
実施例2、比較例1及び2の、各ヌクレオチド抽出方法で得られた脳、心臓、肝臓、筋肉の各組織の抽出液中のヌクレオチド(ATP、UTP、GTP)の抽出について、HPLCにより調べた。HPLCの測定条件は、実験例1と同様に行った。
(Experimental example 2) About the amount of nucleotides in each tissue Nucleotides (ATP, ATP) in the extracts of brain, heart, liver and muscle tissues obtained by the nucleotide extraction methods of Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 The extraction of UTP, GTP) was examined by HPLC.

上記の分析の結果、実施例2の方法で抽出した場合には、比較例1及び2の方法で抽出した場合に比べて、各ヌクレオチドについて高い抽出効果が認められた(図5)。   As a result of the above analysis, when extracted by the method of Example 2, a higher extraction effect was recognized for each nucleotide as compared to the case of extraction by the methods of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 (FIG. 5).

(実験例3)各組織のATP抽出について
実施例1〜3、及び比較例1、2の各抽出方法を行った希釈試料10μLを、ENLITEN(R) rLuciferase/Luciferin Reagent:プロメガ社90μLで、1/10倍に希釈し、ATPの測定を行った。タンパク質量は、BCATMタンパク定量アッセイキット(BCATM Protein Assay Kit, PIERCE社)により測定した。
(Experimental Example 3) ATP Extraction of Each Tissue 10 μL of the diluted sample subjected to each extraction method of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was added to ENLITEN (R) rLuciferase / Luciferin Reagent: 90 μL of Promega. The ATP was measured after diluting to 10 times. The amount of protein was measured with a BCA protein assay kit (BCA Protein Assay Kit, PIERCE).

その結果、タンパク質あたりのATP量は、比較例1及び2の方法で抽出した場合に比べて、実施例1〜3の方法で抽出した場合のほうが、高い結果が得られ、効果的にATP量を測定できたことが示唆された(図6)。   As a result, the amount of ATP per protein was higher when extracted by the methods of Examples 1 to 3 than when extracted by the methods of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and the amount of ATP was effectively increased. It was suggested that was able to be measured (FIG. 6).

(実験例4)遺伝性カルニチン欠乏JVSマウスのATP量の測定
本発明のヌクレオチド抽出方法により抽出した場合のATP測定値について、動物組織でのATPの低下を、全身性カルニチン欠損症、即ちミトコンドリアの脂肪酸代謝障害の疾患モデルとして確立しているJVS(juvenile visceral steatosis) マウスを用いて調べた。JVSマウスは、sodium-dependent carnitine cotransporter (OCTN2)遺伝子のミスセンス変異を伴ったマウスで、先天性長鎖脂肪酸代謝障害を示す (Lu K, Nishimori H, Nakamura Y, Shima K, Kuwajima M. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 252:290-594, 1998)。このマウス に、インフルエンザウイルス(Influenza A/PR/8/38株)を感染させた場合の、血液、肝臓、心臓及び脾臓でのATPレベルを測定し、多臓器不全の程度を判定した。
(Experimental example 4) Measurement of ATP amount in hereditary carnitine-deficient JVS mice Regarding the ATP measurement value when extracted by the nucleotide extraction method of the present invention, the decrease in ATP in animal tissues was expressed as systemic carnitine deficiency, that is, mitochondrial It investigated using the JVS (juvenile visceral steatosis) mouse established as a disease model of fatty-acid-metabolism disorder. The JVS mouse is a mouse with a missense mutation in the sodium-dependent carnitine cotransporter (OCTN2) gene and has a congenital long-chain fatty acid metabolism disorder (Lu K, Nishimori H, Nakamura Y, Shima K, Kuwajima M. Biochem Biophys Res. Commun 252: 290-594, 1998). When this mouse was infected with influenza virus (Influenza A / PR / 8/38 strain), ATP levels in blood, liver, heart and spleen were measured to determine the degree of multiple organ failure.

7日齢の野生型マウス(C57BL/6J)、OCTN2遺伝子のヘテロ型欠損マウスとホモ型欠損マウス(JVSマウス)に、インフルエンザウイルスを感染させ、3日放置した。10日齢の野生型及びJVSマウスについて、インフルエンザウイルス感染なしのマウスと3日間感染させた各マウスについて、実施例1と同様に各組織を摘出し、実施例2の方法に従いヌクレオチド抽出を行い、ATPの定量を行った。ATPの定量は、実験例3の方法に従った。   Seven-day-old wild type mice (C57BL / 6J), OCTN2 gene heterozygous and homozygous mice (JVS mice) were infected with influenza virus and left for 3 days. For 10-day-old wild-type and JVS mice, for each mouse infected for 3 days with mice without influenza virus infection, each tissue was extracted in the same manner as in Example 1, and nucleotide extraction was performed according to the method of Example 2, ATP was quantified. ATP was quantified according to the method of Experimental Example 3.

各組織におけるATPレベルを、図7〜10に示した。各図において、+/+は野生型マウスを、+/-はヘテロ型欠損マウスを、-/-はJVSマウスを示す。各組織について、インフルエンザに感染したマウスでは、非感染マウスに比べて野生型、ヘテロ型欠損、JVSマウスのいずれでもATP量は低下傾向にあるが、中でもJVSマウスの場合ではATP量が著名に低値を示した事実から、多臓器不全を来していることが確認された。   The ATP level in each tissue is shown in FIGS. In each figure, + / + indicates a wild type mouse, +/− indicates a heterozygous mouse, and − / − indicates a JVS mouse. For each tissue, the ATP level in mice infected with influenza is lower in wild type, heterozygous and JVS mice than in non-infected mice, but the ATP level is particularly low in JVS mice. From the facts showing the value, it was confirmed that multiple organ failure occurred.

(実験例5)ルシフェラーゼを用いたATP測定試薬のATP特異性の確認
以上の実験例の結果より、本発明のヌクレオチド抽出法により動物の組織から効率良くヌクレオチドを抽出することが可能であることが明らかとなった。しかし、実験例1及び2に示したように、動物の組織にはATPの他にも様々なヌクレオチドが存在する。本実験例では、各抽出液に含まれるATP以外のヌクレオチドがルシフェラーゼ発光反応に影響するか否かを検討した。ATP各希釈溶液に各濃度のGTP又はAMPを混合した溶液を調製し、これらの溶液について実験例3の方法に従い、ルシフェラーゼ発光反応を行った。
(Experimental Example 5) Confirmation of ATP Specificity of ATP Measurement Reagent Using Luciferase From the results of the above experimental examples, it is possible to extract nucleotides from animal tissues efficiently by the nucleotide extraction method of the present invention. It became clear. However, as shown in Experimental Examples 1 and 2, there are various nucleotides in animal tissues in addition to ATP. In this experimental example, it was examined whether nucleotides other than ATP contained in each extract affect the luciferase luminescence reaction. Solutions in which each concentration of GTP or AMP was mixed with each diluted solution of ATP were prepared, and luciferase luminescence reaction was performed on these solutions according to the method of Experimental Example 3.

その結果、ルシフェラーゼ発光反応によるATP測定には、組織中に存在すると考えられるGTP、AMP量、さらにそのATP濃度の106〜109倍のGTP、AMP濃度存在下においても影響のないことが確認された(図11)。As a result, it was confirmed that the ATP measurement by the luciferase luminescence reaction had no effect even in the presence of GTP and AMP that are considered to be present in the tissue, and GTP and AMP concentrations 10 6 to 10 9 times the ATP concentration. (FIG. 11).

健常者(被験者)の末梢血を試料とし、実施例1〜3に示すヌクレオチド抽出方法により抽出したATP測定値と、比較例1及び2の、各ヌクレオチド抽出方法で測定したATP測定値を比較した。被験者(3名)の末梢血試料は、インフォームド・コンセントを書面で行い、徳島大学倫理審査委員会の承認を得て、採血を行ったものを用いた。ATPの定量は、実験例3に従った。
(Experimental example 6) ATP measurement of human blood sample ATP measurement value extracted by the nucleotide extraction method shown in Examples 1 to 3, using the peripheral blood of a healthy person (subject) as a sample, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 The ATP measurement value measured by each nucleotide extraction method was compared. Peripheral blood samples from the subjects (3 subjects) were collected from blood after informed consent was obtained in writing and approved by the Tokushima University Ethics Review Board. ATP was quantified according to Experimental Example 3.

上記の測定の結果、実施例1〜3の方法で抽出した場合には、比較例1及び2の各抽出法を用いて抽出した場合に比べて、ATPの高い抽出効果が認められた(図12参照)。   As a result of the above measurement, when extracted by the methods of Examples 1 to 3, a high extraction effect of ATP was recognized as compared with the case of extracting using the extraction methods of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 (Fig. 12).

(実験例7)ヒト患者の血液試料のATPの測定
各種疾患で入院したヒト患者(被験者)の末梢血を試料とし、実施例2の方法で抽出した場合のATP測定値について、健常者の末梢血を試料に比べてATPレベルが低下しているかどうかについて調べた。被験者の末梢血試料は、インフォームド・コンセントを書面で行い、徳島大学の倫理審査委員会の承認を得て、採血を行ったものを用いた。被験者は、脳症患者6名、ミトコンドリア脳筋症の患者5名、そして、脳症の回復期の患者3名であった。
(Experimental example 7) Measurement of ATP of blood sample of human patient ATP measurement value when extracted by the method of Example 2 using peripheral blood of a human patient (subject) hospitalized for various diseases as a sample. The blood was examined for reduced ATP levels compared to the sample. Peripheral blood samples from the subjects were used after informed consent was written and blood was collected with the approval of the Ethics Review Committee of Tokushima University. The subjects were 6 patients with encephalopathy, 5 patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, and 3 patients in the recovery period of encephalopathy.

上記の測定の結果、脳症(急性期)の患者、ミトコンドリア脳筋症の患者においては、末梢血のATPレベルは低値(1 mM以下)を示したが、脳症の回復期の患者では、末梢血中のATPレベルが1.2 mM以上であり、ATPレベルが回復していることが確認された(図13参照)。   As a result of the above measurement, ATP levels in peripheral blood showed a low value (1 mM or less) in patients with encephalopathy (acute stage) and patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, but in patients in the recovery stage of encephalopathy, peripheral blood The ATP level in the blood was 1.2 mM or more, and it was confirmed that the ATP level was recovered (see FIG. 13).

(実験例8)各組織のATP抽出量の測定について
脳症で入院したヒト患者(脳症の回復期の患者(健常者)5名、脳症(急性期)の患者4名)の末梢血を試料とし、実施例2の方法で抽出した。既存の市販品及び実施例4の改良型ATP測定用試薬を用いたATP測定方法の比較試験を行った。
実施例2の方法で抽出した希釈試料(1/10,000倍希釈)10μLを、市販のATP試薬(ENLITEN(R) rLuciferase/Luciferin Reagent:プロメガ社)90μLで、1/10倍に希釈し、ルミノメーター(TD-20/2:TURNER DESIGN社)でルシフェラーゼの発光量を測定した。同時に、ATP標準溶液(10-7 M)を1/10倍〜1/10,000,000倍まで段階的に希釈した溶液を調製し、ATP濃度とルシフェラーゼの発光量との相関関係を表す標準曲線を作成した。この標準曲線をもとに、ルシフェラーゼの発光量から試料中に存在するATP濃度を算出した。
(Experimental example 8) Measurement of ATP extract amount of each tissue Using peripheral blood of human patients hospitalized with encephalopathy (5 patients with encephalopathy recovery (healthy), 4 patients with encephalopathy (acute)) Extracted by the method of Example 2. A comparative test of the ATP measurement method using the existing commercial product and the improved ATP measurement reagent of Example 4 was performed.
The diluted sample (1 / 10,000 dilution) 10 [mu] L extracted by the method of Example 2, a commercially available ATP reagent (ENLITEN (R) rLuciferase / Luciferin Reagent: Promega) in 90 [mu] L, was diluted to 1/10-fold, luminometer (TD-20 / 2: TURNER DESIGN) was used to measure the amount of luciferase luminescence. At the same time, a solution in which an ATP standard solution (10 −7 M) was diluted stepwise from 1/10 to 1 / 10,000,000 was prepared, and a standard curve representing the correlation between the ATP concentration and the amount of luciferase luminescence was prepared. . Based on this standard curve, the ATP concentration present in the sample was calculated from the amount of luciferase luminescence.

同様に実施例2の方法で抽出した希釈試料10μLを、実施例4の改良型ATP測定用試薬90μLで希釈した。他は、上記市販の試薬を用いた方法と同様の方法で試料中に存在するATP濃度を算出した。   Similarly, 10 μL of the diluted sample extracted by the method of Example 2 was diluted with 90 μL of the improved ATP measurement reagent of Example 4. Other than that, the ATP concentration present in the sample was calculated by the same method as that using the commercially available reagent.

上記の比較試験の結果、市販のATP試薬又は実施例4の改良型ATP試薬で測定した場合では、ほぼ同様の結果が得られることが確認された(図14参照)。   As a result of the above comparative test, it was confirmed that almost the same result was obtained when measured with a commercially available ATP reagent or the improved ATP reagent of Example 4 (see FIG. 14).

以上の結果から、本発明のフェノール化合物を含む溶液を用いたヌクレオチドの抽出法によると、動物組織中のヌクレオチドを効率良く抽出可能なことが確認され、さらに本発明のATPの測定方法に使用したルシフェラーゼ発光を指標とする試薬では、ルシフェラーゼ発光は抽出した核酸のATPのみに反応することが再確認された。さらに、改良型ATP測定用試薬(rLuciferase/Luciferin Reagent mod.)を用いることで、従来の方法と比較して、より安価に測定試料中のATP量の測定を実現可能なことが明らかになった。   From the above results, it was confirmed that the nucleotide extraction method using the solution containing the phenolic compound of the present invention can efficiently extract nucleotides in animal tissues, and further used for the ATP measurement method of the present invention. With the reagent using luciferase luminescence as an index, it was reconfirmed that luciferase luminescence reacts only with ATP of the extracted nucleic acid. Furthermore, it has been clarified that by using an improved ATP measurement reagent (rLuciferase / Luciferin Reagent mod.), It is possible to measure the ATP content in the measurement sample at a lower cost compared to the conventional method. .
