Description

ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法、及びビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体Vibrio parahemolyticus detection method and vibrio parahemolyticus detection carrier
 本発明は、食中毒菌などの微生物を検出するための技術に関し、特にビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法、及びビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体に関する。 The present invention relates to a technique for detecting microorganisms such as food poisoning bacteria, and more particularly to a method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus and a carrier for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus.
 近年、食品や環境などの公衆衛生の分野における衛生水準の向上により、食中毒の発生には減少傾向が見られるものの、現在でもなお日本国内で毎年2万人以上が食中毒に罹患している。この中には、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス(腸炎ビブリオ)を原因とするものも少なからず含まれており、その発生を防止するために、食中毒菌等の検査において、食品や環境中の病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを精度高く検出することが重要になっている。 In recent years, due to the improvement of the level of hygiene in the field of public health such as food and the environment, the incidence of food poisoning has been decreasing, but even now in Japan, more than 20,000 people suffer from food poisoning every year. This includes not only a few caused by pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vibrio parahaemolyticus), but in order to prevent its occurrence, in the inspection of food poisoning bacteria, etc. It is important to detect pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus with high accuracy.
 病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを検出する方法としては、例えば特許文献1に記載のように、所定のプライマーを用いて、PCR(ポリメラーゼ連鎖反応)法により増幅対象領域(増幅対象遺伝子領域、標的遺伝子領域)のDNA断片を増幅し、その増幅産物のサイズを電気泳動法で分析することによって行う方法がある。
 また、本出願人による特許文献2に記載の発明では、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスが有する耐熱性溶血毒遺伝子(tdh)を増幅可能なプライマーを用いて、PCR法により当該遺伝子を含むDNA断片を増幅し、その増幅産物と相補的に結合するプローブを固定化したDNAチップを用いて、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出を行っている。
As a method for detecting pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, amplification target regions (amplification target gene region, target) using a predetermined primer and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) method There is a method in which a DNA fragment in the gene region) is amplified and the size of the amplified product is analyzed by electrophoresis.
In the invention described in Patent Document 2 by the present applicant, a DNA containing the gene by PCR using a primer capable of amplifying a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin gene (tdh) possessed by pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus. Pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus is detected using a DNA chip on which a fragment is amplified and a probe that binds complementarily to the amplified product is immobilized.

 ところで、公衆衛生の分野においては、食中毒の原因となる病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無の検査のみならず、衛生学的指標として、病原性に拘わらず、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無を同時に検査できることが望ましい。
 しかしながら、上述した従来の技術では、病原性を持たないものを含むビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスと同時に検出することはできなかった。
 また、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検査を行う実際の現場においては、検査試料に食物の遺伝子など様々なDNAが混入することから、特異性に優れた検出精度が求められていた。
 さらに、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの毒素遺伝子には種々のものが存在しているところ、これらを識別して検出可能にすることが好ましい。
 本発明は、上記事情に鑑みなされたものであり、病原性を持たないものを含むビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスと、食中毒の原因となる病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出を同時にかつ高い特異性で行うことが可能なビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法、及びビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体の提供を目的とする。
By the way, in the field of public health, not only the presence or absence of pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus causing food poisoning, but also the presence or absence of Vibrio parahemolyticus as a hygienic indicator regardless of pathogenicity It is desirable to be able to inspect simultaneously.
However, with the above-described conventional technology, it has not been possible to detect Vibrio parahemolyticus including those having no pathogenicity simultaneously with the pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus.
In actual sites where Vibrio parahemolyticus is tested, various DNAs such as food genes are mixed in the test sample, so that detection accuracy with excellent specificity is required.
Furthermore, there are various types of toxin genes of pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus, and it is preferable to identify them and make them detectable.

 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法は、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス及びビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス(病原性のものを含む)を同時に検出するビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法であって、試料から抽出したゲノムDNAをテンプレートとして、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの病原性発現調節遺伝子(toxR)を含むDNA断片と、耐熱性溶血毒遺伝子(tdh)を含むDNA断片と、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)を含むDNA断片と、をマルチプレックスPCRにより同時に増幅させ、それぞれの増幅産物の有無を検出することによって、試料中における病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無及びビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無を同時に検出することを特徴とする。
Hereinafter, a method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus and a carrier for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
The method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to the present embodiment is a method of vibrio parahemolyticus that simultaneously detects pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus and Vibrio parahemolyticus (including pathogenic ones). A detection method, using a genomic DNA extracted from a sample as a template, a DNA fragment containing a vibrio parahemolyticus pathogenic expression regulatory gene (toxR), a DNA fragment containing a thermostable hemolysin gene (tdh), , A DNA fragment containing a thermostable hemolysin-like toxin gene (trh), and simultaneously amplified by multiplex PCR, and detecting the presence or absence of each amplified product, thereby detecting pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus in the sample. The presence or absence and the presence or absence of Vibrio parahemolyticus are detected simultaneously.
 ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス(Vibrio parahaemolyticus)は、グラム陰性で好塩性の桿菌である。主として海水中に生息し、ヒトに感染すると、食中毒を発症させる病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス(腸炎ビブリオ)が存在する。一方、非病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスも存在している。しかしながら、公衆衛生の分野においては、衛生学的指標として、このような病原性の有無に拘わらず、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを幅広く検出可能にすることが好ましい。
 そこで、本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法では、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスのゲノムDNAに共通して保有される病原性発現調節遺伝子(toxR)を増幅対象領域としてPCR法により増幅し、その増幅産物を検出することによって、試料中における、病原性のあるものとないものとを含むビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無を検出可能にしている。
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative and halophilic gonococci. There are pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus (Vibrio parahaemolyticus) that inhabits mainly in seawater and causes food poisoning when it infects humans. On the other hand, non-pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus exists. However, in the field of public health, it is preferable to make Vibrio parahemolyticus widely detectable as a hygienic index regardless of the presence or absence of such pathogenicity.
Therefore, in the method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to the present embodiment, a pathogenic expression regulatory gene (toxR) commonly held in the genomic DNA of Vibrio parahemolyticus is amplified by PCR using the PCR method. By amplifying and detecting the amplified product, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of Vibrio parahemolyticus in the sample including those that are pathogenic and those that are not pathogenic.
 また、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスには、毒素を産生する遺伝子として、耐熱性溶血毒遺伝子(tdh)及び/又は耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)を有するものが存在する。
 具体的には、例えば図1に示すように、これらの毒素遺伝子の保有状況が分っている菌株が存在している。さらに、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)は、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素1型遺伝子(trh1)と耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素2型遺伝子(trh2)に区別される。後述する実施例では、これらの菌株を使用して、toxR、tdh、及びtrhの3つの遺伝子を同時に検出すると共に、さらにtrh1とtrh2とを識別可能にしている。
In addition, pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus includes a gene having a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin gene (tdh) and / or a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin gene (trh) as a gene that produces a toxin.
Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, there are strains in which the state of possession of these toxin genes is known. Furthermore, the heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin gene (trh) is classified into a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin type 1 gene (trh1) and a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin type 2 gene (trh2). In the examples described later, these strains are used to simultaneously detect three genes, toxR, tdh, and trh, and to further distinguish between trh1 and trh2.
 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法では、上記の病原性発現調節遺伝子(toxR)と、耐熱性溶血毒遺伝子(tdh)と、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)とを増幅対象領域としてPCR法により同時に増幅し、その増幅産物を検出することによって、試料中における、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを含むビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無と、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無とを同時に検出可能にしている。
 これによって、本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法によれば、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスについて、従来の方法ではなし得なかった衛生指標菌及び食中毒危害菌の2種類の指標を同時に識別することが可能となっている。

It is possible to detect the presence or absence of lyticus at the same time.
Thus, according to the method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to the present embodiment, for Vibrio parahemolyticus, two types of indicators, hygiene indicator bacteria and food poisoning harmful bacteria, which could not be achieved by the conventional method, are obtained. It is possible to identify at the same time.

 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法において、PCR反応液は、上記のtoxRプライマーセット、tdhプライマーセット、及びtrhプライマーセットを含有し、それ以外の成分には、一般的なものを用いることができる。具体的には、緩衝液、核酸合成基質、Ex Taq等の核酸合成酵素、Cy5等の標識成分、試料のDNA、及び水を含むものなどを用いることができる。
 そして、このようなPCR反応液を用いてサーマルサイクラーなどの核酸増幅装置により、試料中のゲノムDNAの一部が増幅される。すなわち、上記プライマーセットによる増幅対象領域を有するゲノムDNAが試料中に存在している場合、その対象領域が増幅される。
In the method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to the present embodiment, the PCR reaction solution contains the above-described toxR primer set, tdh primer set, and trh primer set, and other components are general ones. Can be used. Specifically, a buffer solution, a nucleic acid synthesis substrate, a nucleic acid synthesizing enzyme such as Ex Taq, a labeling component such as Cy5, a sample DNA, and water containing water can be used.
Then, a part of the genomic DNA in the sample is amplified by a nucleic acid amplification device such as a thermal cycler using such a PCR reaction solution. That is, when genomic DNA having a region to be amplified by the primer set is present in the sample, the region to be amplified is amplified.
 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法において用いるプライマーは、上記の塩基配列に限定されるものではなく、それぞれの塩基配列において1又は数個の塩基が欠損、置換又は付加されたものを用いることができる。また、それぞれの塩基配列に対して相補的な塩基配列からなる核酸断片に対してストリンジェントな条件下でハイブリダイズできる核酸断片からなるものを用いることもできる。 Primers used in the method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to this embodiment are not limited to the above base sequences, and one or several bases are deleted, substituted, or added in each base sequence. Things can be used. Moreover, what consists of a nucleic acid fragment which can be hybridized on stringent conditions with respect to the nucleic acid fragment which consists of a base sequence complementary to each base sequence can also be used.
 ストリンジェントな条件とは、特異的なハイブリッドが形成され、非特異的なハイブリッドが形成されない条件をいう。例えば、配列番号1~6で表される配列からなるDNAに対し高い相同性(相同性が90%以上、好ましくは95%以上)を有するDNAが、配列番号1~6で表される配列からなるDNAと相補的な塩基配列からなるDNAと、ハイブリダイズする条件が挙げられる。通常、完全ハイブリッドの溶解温度(Tm)より約5℃~約30℃、好ましくは約10℃~約25℃低い温度でハイブリダイゼーションが起こる場合をいう。ストリンジェントな条件については、J.Sambrookら,Molecular Cloning,A Laboratory Mannual,Second Edition,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press(1989)、特に11.45節「Conditions for Hybridization of Oligonucleotide Probes」に記載されている条件等を使用することができる。 Stringent conditions refer to conditions in which specific hybrids are formed and non-specific hybrids are not formed. For example, a DNA having high homology (with a homology of 90% or more, preferably 95% or more) with respect to the DNA comprising the sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6 is determined from the sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 6. The conditions for hybridizing with DNA consisting of a base sequence complementary to the DNA to be obtained can be mentioned. Usually, it means a case where hybridization occurs at a temperature about 5 ° C. to about 30 ° C., preferably about 10 ° C. to about 25 ° C. lower than the melting temperature (Tm) of the complete hybrid. For stringent conditions, see J.M. Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Second Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989), etc. can be used, especially in Section 11.45 “Conditions for HybridOboliprozation”.
 次に、PCR法により得られた増幅産物(PCR増幅産物)を用いて、例えば電気泳動を行うことにより、本実施形態における上記各プライマーセットによる増幅産物が得られているか否かを確認して、試料中におけるビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス及び病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無を検出することが好ましい。電気泳動は、アガロースゲル電気泳動やポリアクリルアミドゲル電気泳動、マイクロチップ電気泳動など一般的な方法により行うことができる。 Next, using the amplification product (PCR amplification product) obtained by the PCR method, for example, by performing electrophoresis, it is confirmed whether or not the amplification product by each of the primer sets in the present embodiment is obtained. It is preferable to detect the presence or absence of Vibrio parahemolyticus and pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus in the sample. Electrophoresis can be performed by a general method such as agarose gel electrophoresis, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, or microchip electrophoresis.
 また、PCR増幅産物を本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体上(DNAチップ)に滴下して、当該担体に固定化されたプローブにハイブリダイズした増幅産物の標識を検出することにより、試料中におけるビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス及び病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの有無を検出することも好ましい。
 標識の検出は、蛍光スキャニング装置など一般的な標識検出装置を用いて行うことができ、例えば東洋鋼鈑株式会社のBIOSHOT(R)を用いて、増幅産物の蛍光強度を測定することにより行うことができる。なお、標識は、蛍光に限定されず、その他のものを用いてもよい。
Moreover, the PCR amplification product is dropped on the Vibrio parahemolyticus detection carrier (DNA chip) according to this embodiment, and the label of the amplification product hybridized with the probe immobilized on the carrier is detected. It is also preferable to detect the presence or absence of Vibrio parahemolyticus and pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus in the sample.
The detection of the label can be performed by using a general label detection device such as a fluorescence scanning device, for example, by measuring the fluorescence intensity of the amplification product using BIOSHOT (R) of Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd. Can do. The label is not limited to fluorescence, and other labels may be used.
 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体は、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの病原性発現調節遺伝子(toxR)領域から選択されたプローブ(toxRプローブ)として、配列番号7~10に示す塩基配列からなる少なくともいずれかのプローブを固定化したものとすることが好ましい。
 また、本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体は、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの耐熱性溶血毒遺伝子(tdh)領域から選択されたプローブ(tdhプローブ)として、配列番号11~15に示す塩基配列からなる少なくともいずれかのプローブを固定化したものとすることが好ましい。
 さらに、本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体は、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)領域における耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素1型遺伝子から選択されたプローブ(trh1プローブ)として、配列番号16~19に示す塩基配列からなる少なくともいずれかのプローブを固定化したものとすることが好ましく、同遺伝子(trh)領域における耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素2型遺伝子から選択されたプローブ(trh2プローブ)として、配列番号20又は21に示す塩基配列からなる少なくともいずれかのプローブを固定化したものとすることが好ましい。
The carrier for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to this embodiment is represented by SEQ ID NOs: 7 to 10 as probes (toxR probes) selected from the pathogenic expression regulatory gene (toxR) region of Vibrio parahemolyticus. It is preferable that at least one probe consisting of a base sequence is immobilized.
Further, the Vibrio parahemolyticus detection carrier according to this embodiment is SEQ ID NO: 11 as a probe (tdh probe) selected from the heat-resistant hemolytic toxin gene (tdh) region of pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus. It is preferable that at least one of the probes having the base sequences shown in .about.15 is immobilized.
Furthermore, the carrier for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to the present embodiment is selected from the thermostable hemolysin-like toxin type 1 gene in the thermostable hemolysin-like toxin gene (trh) region of pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus It is preferable that at least one of the base sequences shown in SEQ ID NOs: 16 to 19 is immobilized as the probe (trh1 probe), and the heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin 2 in the same gene (trh) region As a probe selected from a type gene (trh2 probe), it is preferable to fix at least one of the probes consisting of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 20 or 21.
 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体をこのような構成にすることによって、ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス(病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを含む)と共に、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスを同時に特異的に検出することが可能になる。また、病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスとして、耐熱性溶血毒遺伝子(tdh)と耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)を有するか否かを識別して検出することも可能となる。さらに、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素遺伝子(trh)として、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素1型遺伝子と耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素2型遺伝子を識別して検出することも可能となる。
 このように、耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素1型遺伝子と耐熱性溶血毒類似毒素2型遺伝子とを、それぞれ専用のプライマーを用いて増幅産物のサイズで識別するのではなく、同一のプライマーを用いて増幅産物を得た後に、それぞれ専用の特異性の高いプローブを用いて識別可能にすることによって、マルチプレックスPCRにおけるプライマー数を減らすことができ、精度の向上とコストの低減を実現することが可能になっている。
By configuring the Vibrio parahemolyticus detection carrier according to the present embodiment in such a configuration, together with Vibrio parahemolyticus (including pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus), pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus It becomes possible to specifically detect lyticus simultaneously. It is also possible to identify and detect whether or not a pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus has a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin gene (tdh) and a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin gene (trh). Furthermore, as a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin gene (trh), a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin type 1 gene and a heat-resistant hemolytic toxin-like toxin type 2 gene can be identified and detected.
In this way, the thermostable hemolysin-like toxin type 1 gene and the thermostable hemolysin-like toxin type 2 gene are not distinguished from each other by the size of the amplification product using a dedicated primer, but using the same primer. It is possible to reduce the number of primers in multiplex PCR by making each identifiable using a dedicated probe with high specificity after obtaining amplification products, which can improve accuracy and reduce costs. It has become.
 本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体において用いるプローブも、上記の塩基配列に限定されるものではなく、それぞれの塩基配列において1又は数個の塩基が欠損、置換又は付加されたものを用いることができる。また、それぞれの塩基配列に対して相補的な塩基配列からなる核酸断片に対してストリンジェントな条件下でハイブリダイズできる核酸断片からなるものを用いることもできる。さらに、これらのようなプローブに対して相補的な塩基配列を有するプローブを用いることもできる。 The probe used in the Vibrio parahemolyticus detection carrier according to the present embodiment is not limited to the above base sequence, and one or several bases are deleted, substituted or added in each base sequence. Things can be used. Moreover, what consists of a nucleic acid fragment which can be hybridized on stringent conditions with respect to the nucleic acid fragment which consists of a base sequence complementary to each base sequence can also be used. Furthermore, probes having a base sequence complementary to these probes can also be used.

Next, the carrier is allowed to stand at 45 ° C. for 1 hour, and then PCR amplification products and the like that have not been hybridized with a predetermined buffer are washed away from the carrier. Then, by detecting the label by applying the carrier to a label detection apparatus, pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus and Vibrio parahemolyticus (including pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus) exist in the sample. It can be detected at the same time.
 以上説明したように、本実施形態に係るビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出方法、及びビブリオ・パラヘモリティカス検出用担体によれば、病原性を持たないものを含むビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスと、食中毒の原因となる病原性ビブリオ・パラヘモリティカスの検出を同時にかつ高い特異性で行うことが可能である。 As described above, according to the method for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus and the carrier for detecting Vibrio parahemolyticus according to the present embodiment, the vibrio parahemolyticus including those having no pathogenicity It is possible to detect pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus that causes food poisoning at the same time and with high specificity.

 反応後、DNAチップを室温下で洗浄液(2×SSC/0.2%SDS溶液、2×SSC溶液の順に)に浸して洗浄を行い、カバーガラスを載せて蛍光検出器Bioshot(東洋鋼鈑株式会社製)により各プローブのスポット領域の蛍光を検出した。

This shows that the strain (1) and the strain (2) are trh1 gene-bearing bacteria among the pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus trh gene-bearing bacteria.
On the other hand, for the strain (3), a high fluorescence intensity was obtained with the trh2 detection probe, and a relatively low fluorescence intensity was obtained with the trh1 detection probe. From this, it can be seen that the strain (3) is a trh2 gene-bearing bacterium among the pathogenic Vibrio parahemolyticus trh gene-bearing bacterium.
