摘要:

目的 回顾性检测浙江省宁波市儿童腹泻粪样中卡耶塔环孢子虫的感染情况,分析我国人源卡耶塔环孢子虫的遗传进化特征。 方法 取本实验室保存的2020—2021年浙江省宁波市儿童腹泻粪样,采用巢式PCR扩增卡耶塔环孢子虫的18S rRNA基因,对阳性PCR扩增产物进行双向测序,序列比对分析后采用MEGA 7软件以邻接法构建系统进化树。同时检索NCBI等公共数据库中我国人源卡耶塔环孢子虫18S rRNA基因序列,分析其遗传进化特征。 结果 227份儿童腹泻粪样检测分析结果显示,7份(3.08%)为卡耶塔环孢子虫阳性样品,经序列比对和系统发育分析,其中6份阳性样品(GenBank登录号:PZ748322)具有完全一致的核苷酸序列,且与GenBank中人源卡耶塔环孢子虫18S rRNA序列(GenBank登录号:KJ569531)相似性达100%;另鉴定出1条新的基因序列(GenBank登录号:PZ737096),与KJ569531序列相似为99.6%。在基于18S rRNA基因构建的系统进化树上,上述7份阳性样品序列与KJ569531聚类于同一进化枝,具有高度亲缘关系。所有环孢子虫分离株均聚为独立进化枝,与艾美球虫(Eimeria)、田鼠巴贝虫(Babesia microti)及微小隐孢子虫(Cryptosporidium parvum)等外群物种显著分离,支持了环孢子虫属的单系性。整合筛选全国62条人源卡耶塔环孢子虫18S rRNA基因序列,最终得到25条差异化基因序列,共检出39个碱基差异位点。25条序列核苷酸多样性整体Pi值为0.015,表明随机两条序列在任意位点发生碱基差异的平均概率为1.5%。此外,与其他序列相比,本研究获得的新序列(GenBank登录号:PZ737096)在第404位和第406位分别发生了C→T和A→C的碱基置换。 结论 浙江省宁波市儿童腹泻粪样中环孢子虫感染率较高,且本地流行虫株与国内已报道人源虫株存在基因序列差异,补充了我国人群卡耶塔环孢子虫的遗传变异基础数据。

Abstract:

Objective To retrospectively detect the presence of Cyclospora cayetanensis infections in stool samples from children with diarrhea in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, and to analyze the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of human-derived C. cayetanensis in China. Methods Stool samples from children with diarrhea in Ningbo City that were maintained in our laboratory were tested for C. cayetanensis 18S rRNA gene using nested PCR assay, and positive PCR amplification products were sequenced bidirectionally. Following sequence alignment and analysis, a phylogenetic tree was created using the neighbor joining method in the MEGA 7 software. In addition, the 18S rRNA gene sequences of human-derived C. cayetanensis isolates in China were retrieved in public databases, including NCBI, and the genetic and evolutionary characteristics of these gene sequences were analyzed. Results A total of 227 stool samples from children with diarrhea were included for retrospective testing, and there were 7 samples (3.08%) tested positive for C. cayetanensis. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that six of these positive samples (GenBank accession no.: PZ748322) shared identical nucleotide sequences and exhibited 100% homology with a human-derived reference sequence (GenBank accession no.: KJ569531) from GenBank, and a novel gene sequence (GenBank accession no.: PZ737096) was identified, which shared 99.6% similarity with the sequence KJ569531. In the phylogenetic tree constructed based on the 18S rRNA gene, the gene sequences of these 7 positive samples were clustered with the sequence KJ569531 into the same clade, indicating a highly close genetic relationship. All C. cayetanensis isolates formed a distinct monophyletic clade, which were remarkably separated from outgroup species including Eimeria spp., Babesia microti, and Cryptosporidium parvum, supporting the monophyly of the genus Cyclospora. A total of 62 human-derived C. cayetanensis 18S rRNA gene sequences from China were integrated and screened, ultimately yielding 25 distinct gene sequences, in which 39 nucleotide polymorphic sites were identified. The overall nucleotide diversity (Pi) of the 25 gene sequences was 0.015, indicating that the average probability of a base difference occurring at any site between two random sequences was 1.5%. In addition, compared to other sequences, the new sequence (GenBank accession no.: PZ737096) obtained from this study showed base substitutions C→T at position 404 and A→C at position 406. Conclusion The prevalence of C. cayetanensis infection is high in stool samples from children with diarrhea in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, and the locally prevalent C. cayetanensis isolates exhibit genetic sequence differences from previously reported human-derived parasite isolates in China, which supplements the baseline data on genetic variation of C. cayetanensis in Chinese populations.
