基于PCR DGGE的小鼠肠道菌群基因组提取方法的建立

通过比较4种小鼠粪便细菌总DNA提取方法对基于PCR-DGGE检测的肠道菌群多样性分析的影响,旨在建立适于PCR—DGGE的小鼠肠道微生物宏基因组提取的稳定、经济、快捷的方法。采用SDS裂解法、某国产市售粪便DNA提取试剂盒、改进的化学裂解法、改进的溶菌酶法4种方法提取小鼠粪便细菌总DNA,通过琼脂糖凝胶电泳、紫外分光光度法、细菌16S rRNAV3区PCR扩增结合DGGE对提取结果进行比较分析。SDS裂解法和国产市售试剂盒2种方法提取粪便细菌总DNA均未得到理想结果,另2种方法均能够检测到粪便中20种左右的细菌。改进的化学裂解法和改进的溶菌酶提取法的建立为基于PCR—DGGE进行肠道菌群结构的定量及定性分析提供了可靠的前提基础和实验保障。

肠道菌群核酸提取自动化流程的优化

目的:优化肠道菌群核酸提取自动化流程。方法:收集粪便样本,分别采用手工方法、核酸提取工作站提取核酸,然后利用液体工作站制备PCR反应液进行PCR扩增,最后采用文库工作站建库测序。结果:400μl样品用QIAamp~ Fast DNA Stool Mini Kit试剂盒裂解液裂解后,用MagMAX~(TM) Express 96机器提取核酸的方法与用QIAamp~ Fast DNA Stool Mini Kit试剂盒手工提取核酸的方法相比,测序得到的序列数基本一致,分析结果也没有明显区别;而单独采用MagMAX~(TM)Viral RNA Isolation Kit试剂盒提取核酸由于样品投入体积受限(50μl)、核酸浓度低、测序得到的序列数太少,不能满足后续的分析要求。结论:通过结合使用两种不同的试剂盒,可以实现核酸提取、PCR反应液配制及文库制备的全流程自动化操作,从而大大提高工作效率和结果的稳定性。

鸡肠道菌群总DNA三种提取方法的比较

目的比较不同方法提取鸡肠道菌群总DNA的差异,为分子方法分析肠道菌群组成提供质量较高的DNA模板。方法采用反复冻融法、酶裂解法和试剂盒法（E.N.Z.A Stool DNA Kit）来提取鸡肠道菌群的总DNA,并根据DNA浓度及纯度、16S DNA扩增产物和ERIC-PCR产物所反映的片段多态性4个指标,对这3种方法提取的DNA质量进行比较。结果3种方法均能提取DNA,所得DNA都可以用于16S DNA的扩增,但后2种方法所得DNA的ERIC-PCR结果能反映出更高的菌群多样性。结论试剂盒法和酶裂解法所提取的DNA质量好,适合用于肠道菌群的分子生态研究。     

三种粪便总DNA提取方法的比较

目的比较不同粪便总DNA提取方法对肠道菌群多样性研究的影响。方法采用Bead beating法、化学裂解法和QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit提取同一份人粪便样品的总DNA,对比3种方法的DNA得率和16S rRNA基因V3区的变性梯度凝胶电泳（DGGE）图谱。结果Bead beating法的DNA得率约是其他2种方法的2倍;3种方法得到的DGGE图谱的Dice相似性为60％～70％,2条优势条带只出现在Bead beating法图谱中。在2～5min的Bead beating法击打时间里,DNA得率随击打时间的延长有一定的增加,但DGGE图谱无显著变化。结论不同的DNA提取方法会影响菌群的多样性分析。比较其他2种方法,Bead beating的裂解效率更高,能够检测到更多种类的细菌,更合适肠道菌群组成的分子研究。

Evaluation of QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit for ecological studies of gut microbiota

Cell lysis efficiency and the quality of DNA extracts from complex bacterial ecosystems are two major concerns in molecular ecological studies of gut microbiota. In this study, we use PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) DNA profiling, random cloning and sequence analysis of 16S rRNA genes to compare the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit with the bead beating technique in the preparation of DNA extracts from gut microbiota of pigs. We also developed a washing procedure that can release more than 93% of bacterial cells attached to the gut mucosa. Both the QIAamp kit and bead beating method lysed approximately 95% of bacterial cells. PCR-DGGE DNA profiles of ileal and cecal microbiota from both digesta and mucosa that were generated from the DNA extracts using the two methods were nearly identical. Random cloning and sequence analysis also demonstrated the high quality of DNA extracts using the two methods. Two random clone sets of 16S rRNA genes generated from the DNA extracts had a similar degree of bacterial diversity. Different preparations of DNA extract from a single sample using the QIAamp kit consistently produced similar PCR-DGGE DNA profiles with similarity indexes higher than 99%. Our data suggest the appropriateness of the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit for the studies of gut microbial ecology and the effectiveness of the QIAamp kit in processing multiple samples for cell lysis and DNA extraction.     

An effective method for isolation of DNA from pig faeces and comparison of five different methods

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of microorganism in faecal specimens is hampered by poor recovery of DNA and by the presence of PCR inhibitors. In this paper, we describe a new modified method for extracting PCR-quality microbial community DNA from pig faecal samples, which combines the pretreatment with polyformaldehyde, and subsequent DNA lysis in the presence of CTAB, salt, PVP, and beta-mercaptoethanol, followed by isolation of nucleic acids using chloroform (no phenol) based protocol. The method resulted in a 1.3- to 11-fold increase in DNA yield when compared to four other widely used methods. Genomic DNA extracted from all five methods was assessed by both agarose gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction for amplification of 16S rDNA specific fragments. The results showed that the improved method represented a reproducible, simple, and rapid technique for routine DNA extraction from faecal specimens and was notably better than using the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit.     

Giardia intestinalis: DNA extraction approaches to improve PCR results

Difficulty in disrupting cysts of Giardia intestinalis, a cosmopolitan protozoan parasite, decreases the yield of DNA extracted and reduces the effectiveness of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To improve the detection of the Giardia Glutamate Dehydrogenase (gdh) gene, we re-evaluated the effects of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction methods. Purified and concentrated cysts from 33 fecal samples were disrupted using conventional methods, and DNA extraction was conducted using two protocols: the QIAamp Stool Mini Kit and phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol (PCI). PCR amplification was successful for 12 extracted DNA samples (36%) using PCI following a glass bead and freeze/thaw pretreatment and for all 33 samples (100%) using the QIAamp Stool Mini Kit following the aforementioned pretreatment. Consequently, the pretreatment of cysts with glass beads and freeze/thaw cycles followed by extraction of DNA with the QIAamp Stool Mini kit was the more effective protocol.

狗獾粪便DNA提取方法的初步探讨

在京杭大运河扬州段堤坝上采集狗獾的新鲜粪便,采用预处理-酚/氯仿抽提法、NaCl改良法、异硫氰酸胍裂解法、淀粉吸附法及QIAamp试剂盒法5种方法对粪便样品中狗獾DNA进行提取,探讨狗獾粪便样品中DNA提取方法和优化条件。结果表明,在5种提取方法中,淀粉吸附法的效果明显优于其它4种方法。采用粪便裂解液快速裂解细胞后,加入淀粉去除其中的大量PCR抑制物,然后用蛋白酶K裂解、酚/氯仿/异戊醇抽提,最后使用UNIQ-10柱纯化粪便DNA,对线粒体控制区和微卫星位点的PCR扩增反应及测序结果证实该方法的可行性。以上结果表明,通过该方法获得的粪便DNA能够用于更深入的分子遗传学等学科的研究。     

Comparison of DNA extraction methods for human gut microbial community profiling

The human gut harbors a vast range of microbes that have significant impact on health and disease. Therefore, gut microbiome profiling holds promise for use in early diagnosis and precision medicine development. Accurate profiling of the highly complex gut microbiome requires DNA extraction methods that provide sufficient coverage of the original community as well as adequate quality and quantity. We tested nine different DNA extraction methods using three commercial kits (TianLong Stool DNA/RNA Extraction Kit (TS), QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit (QS), and QIAamp PowerFecal DNA Kit (QP)) with or without additional bead-beating step using manual or automated methods and compared them in terms of DNA extraction ability from human fecal sample. All methods produced DNA in sufficient concentration and quality for use in sequencing, and the samples were clustered according to the DNA extraction method. Inclusion of bead-beating step especially resulted in higher degrees of microbial diversity and had the greatest effect on gut microbiome composition. Among the samples subjected to bead-beating method, TS kit samples were more similar to QP kit samples than QS kit samples. Our results emphasize the importance of mechanical disruption step for a more comprehensive profiling of the human gut microbiome.     

PCR-based detection of genetically modified soybean and maize in raw and highly processed foodstuffs

The PCR method has proved to be an invaluable tool for the specific and sensitive detection of genetically modified material (e.g., Roundup Ready Soybean and Bt-176 "Maximizer" Maize) in foodstuffs. The first step in the procedure, namely the purification of nucleic acids from the sample, is often the deciding factor in the production of meaningful results. In this study, we present two procedures that enable an efficient isolation of trace amounts of genetic material from both raw and highly processed foodstuffs. We show that for optimal, PCR-ready DNA purification from highly processed foodstuffs and PCR inhibitor-rich substances--such as cocoa-containing products--adapted protocols for the QIAGEN QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit can be utilized. For complete DNA isolation from raw foodstuffs, a protocol using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit is presented.     

蝗虫肠道微生物总DNA提取方法的比较

采用Bead beating法和QIAamp DNA stool mini kit法提取蝗虫肠道微生物总DNA,并对2种方法提取DNA的得率、完整性以及16SrRNA基因扩增产物的变性梯度凝胶电泳(denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis,DGGE)图谱等进行综合比较。结果表明,Bead beating法提取DNA的得率显著高于QIAamp DNA stool mini kit法(P=0.042),而QIAamp DNA stool mini kit法提取DNA片段更完整。PCR-DGGE检测微生物多样性结果显示,QIAamp DNA stool mini kit法提取DNA所代表的微生物群落多样性略高于Bead beating法,但Mann-Whitley统计学检验表明用2种方法检测蝗虫肠道微生物多样性无显著差异(P=0.17)。因此在蝗虫肠道微生物群落多样性的检测中QIAamp DNA stool mini kit法具一定的优势,而Bead beating法同样适用。
