1. Introduction

24

Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) is a major foodborne pathogenic

25

bacterium responsible for worldwide outbreak of seafood and

26

ready-to-eat food poisoning events which causes acute gastroenteritis,

27

dysentery, and diarrhea.1-5 Commonly, the infected person by VP has the

28

clinical symptoms like abdominal pain, fever and vomiting, but those

29

affected severely may become unconsciousness and even die.4 Since first

30

reported in the 1953, 6 VP has been considered as the foremost foodborne

31

pathogen especially in China. During the past two decades, the number of

32

VP-caused foodborne bacterial outbreak in China was on the rise clearly,

33

which was from 31.1% between 1991 and 20017 to over 70% between

34

1998 and 2013.8, 9 According to the data from the China National Center

35

for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA) and reported literature, the VP

36

infection number per year was calculated as 4.95 million person-time, 9

37

which has been a major threat to human health. Therefore, to efficiently

38

prevent and control the infectious diseases, developing a rapid and

39

quantitative method for VP detection has aroused the great concern.

40

At present, culture-based assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and

41

loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) are the common VP

42

detection methods. In China, the culture identification has been defined as

43

the national standard method (GB 4789.7-2013), namely “gold standard”,

44

while PCR and LAMP as the professional standard methods (SN/T 3 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


45

4063-2016; SN/T 2745.5-2011). Culture-based method possesses the

46

advantage of giving the most accurate result, but it is not comparable to

47

PCR in terms of analytical sensitivity and detection time. However, both

48

of culture-based method and PCR require professional experimenters and

49

sophisticated instruments that are not readily available in the remote

50

region. Also, culture process of plate counting and the electrophoresis

51

after conventional PCR reaction are very tedious and time-consuming.10,

52

11

Alternatively, as the burgeoning nucleic acid amplification technique

53

without thermal cycle, LAMP partially addresses the problems with its

54

rapidness, high specificity and sensitivity. Unfortunately, LAMP

55

compromises to be developed as a quantitative detection method.12 In

56

addition, due to its use of single dye (e.g. calcein or SYBR Green I),

57

LAMP fails to clearly indicate the color change in weakly positive

58

reaction, leading to false negative errors. Moreover, the Chinese National

59

Food Safety Standard (CNFSS): Limit of Pathogen in Foods (GB

60

29921-2013) has defined that the highest safety limit value (M) of VP is

61

1000 CFU/ mL. Consequently, to reach the detectable level, all of the

62

three methods above and even some cutting-edge technologies have to

63

enrich the target bacteria beforehand.1,

64

inevitably raises the time and cost of detection. Thus, overcoming above

65

obstacles demands for a new method to rapidly and quantitatively detect

66

VP.

13-17

However, pre-enrichment

67

As a metal ion indicator in LAMP, hydroxyl naphthol blue (HNB) was

68

usually used alone to achieve visual product detection based on the color

69

change of reaction solution under the natural light. However, since the

70

color change especially in weakly positive reaction was hard to be

71

distinguished by naked eyes, its detection sensitivity was lower than that

72

of fluorescence-based product detection.18 In 2015, Ding and the

73

co-workers19 first reported that when excited by a 455 nm blue light,

74

HNB could emit a red fluorescence with an intensity peak at 610 nm in

75

the isothermal reaction solution. Owing to the decreased Mg2+ after

76

amplification, the red fluorescence of HNB weakened, which was just

77

opposite with the enhanced green fluorescence of SYBR Green I.19

78

Inspired by this, a mixed dye containing HNB and SYBR Green I was

79

developed for LAMP.20 Compared to single dye, the mixed dye could

80

improve the detection sensitivity and avoided the empirical preset of

81

cutoff intensity values, making the result more accurate. However, this

82

mixed-dye-based LAMP was still not appropriate for quantitative

83

detection.

84

To further improve the sensitivity and realize quantitative detection, a

85

self-priming compartmentalization (SPC) microfluidic chip was applied

86

in LAMP.21 SPC chip evacuated in a vacuum could form a negative

87

pressure environment and partitioned the LAMP reaction solution to

88

thousands of reaction units. After incubation, the units containing the 5 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


89

target sequence(s) appeared positive, while the units without enough

90

target appeared negative. The number of positive units could be counted,

91

which possessed a linear relationship with the concentrations of samples.

92

Therefore, SPC chip could be used to quantify. Theoretically, if the

93

number of micro-reaction chambers was large enough or the volume of

94

them was small enough, one positive plot represented one target molecule,

95

which meant that SPC chip even had the potential in realizing single

96

molecule detection.22, 23 To date, SPC chip-based LAMP has been applied

97

for β-actin DNA detection.21 However, to our knowledge, the SPC-based

98

detection associated with the public health has not been reported yet, such

99

as the detection of VP.

100

In this study, a novel rapid and quantitative detection of VP was first

101

developed by using mixed-dye-loaded LAMP assay on a SPC

102

microfluidic chip, namely the on-chip mixed-dye-based LAMP

103

(CMD-LAMP). The CMD-LAMP has a great potential in realizing the

104

rapid and on-site quantitative analysis of VP for food safety in China and

105

around the world.

2 Materials and Methods

107

2.1. Bacterial strains

108

A total of ten bacterial strains were used, including one standard Vibrio

109

parahemolyticus strain (ATCC 17802) and five isolation strains of VP as

110

target and other four common non-target foodborne pathogenic bacteria, 6 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 6 of 35

Page 7 of 35


111

Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028), Shigella flexneri (ATCC 12022),

112

Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 43251), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC

113

23213). All the strains were stored in the Department of Hygienic

114

Inspection, School of Public Health, Jilin University (Changchun, China)

115

at -80 ºC.

116

2.2. Bacteria culture and DNA templates preparation

117

According to the CNFSS: Food Microbiology Testing (GB 4789), VP

118

was cultured in alkaline peptone water (APW) with 3.0 % NaCl at 37 ºC

119

with shaking at 200 rpm for 8 hours. For enumeration, the culture was

120

serially diluted with PBS and incubated on thiosulfate citrate bile salts

121

sucrose (TCBS) agar at 37 ºC for 22–24 hours. The other four bacteria

122

were grown and counted using Luria-Bertani (LB) medium and agar.

123

Based on the counting results, the VP was serially diluted with deionized

124

water and the non-target bacteria were diluted to 1×107 CFU/ mL and

125

1×105 CFU/ mL.

126

The DNA templates were extracted by using Mag-MK Bacterial

127

Genomic DNA extraction kit (# B518725, Sangon, China) and all

128

procedures were strictly adhered to the instruction. The purity and

129

concentration of DNA were judged by the ratio of A260 and A280 and the

130

ratio of A260 and A230, which were measured by compatible BioTek

131

detection system (Synergy H1M, BioTek, USA).

132

2.3 Fabrication of microfluidic chip 7 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


133

Based on the previous report, 21 SPC microfluidic chips were fabricated

134

to develop CMD-LAMP method for VP detection. The SPC chips were

135

made of multilayer silicone elastomer polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)

136

bonded on glass coverslips and were fabricated with soft lithography

137

technique. Detail was described in the supplementary material.

138

2.4 Off-chip mixed-dye-based LAMP reaction

139

The off-chip mixed-dye-based LAMP (MD-LAMP) reaction was

140

carried out in sterilized 200 µL PCR tubes. Because of species specificity

141

and existing widely,24 the tlh gene of VP was chosen as the template to

142

develop the reaction. The sequence information of six matched primers

143

(FIP, BIP, F3, B3, LF, LB), shown in Table S-1, was acquired from

144

previous literature12 and all the primers were synthesized and purified by

145

the Sangon Biotech Ltd.. A total of 10 µL optimized assay each tube was

146

prepared and it consisted of the following components: 0.8 M betaine

147

(Sangon, China), 1.4 mM each of Deoxynucleoride Solution (New

148

England BioLabs, USA), 1 µL 10 × IsoAmp Buffer (New England

149

BioLabs, USA), 6 mM MgSO4 Solution (New England BioLabs, USA),

150

0.2 µL 50×SYBR Green I (Life Technologies, USA), 1.6 µM each of FIP

151

and BIP, 0.2 µM each of F3 and B3, 0.8 µM each of LF and LB, 3.2 U Bst

152

2.0 WarmStart DNA polymerase (New England BioLabs, USA) and 2 µL

153

extracted DNA template. To find out suitable dose of HNB, various

154

concentrations of HNB (Lemongreen, China) (100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 8 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 8 of 35

Page 9 of 35


155

350 and 400 µM) were added into the described mixture. The reaction assay was incubated at 63 ºC for 60 min and heated at 80

156 157

º

C for 10 min to inactivate the enzyme in the 7900HT Fast Real-Time

158

PCR System (ABI, USA). The product of MD-LAMP reaction was run

159

on the 2% agarose gel electrophoresis marked by SYBR Green I. For

160

evaluating this novel home-made assay, conventional LAMP and PCR

161

were conducted simultaneously to compare with it. Protocol of these two

162

methods was described in the supplementary material.

163

2.5 On-chip mixed-dye-based LAMP reaction.

164

The CMD-LAMP assay (10 µL) was carried out in the make-up SPC

165

chip. First, the chip was evacuated using the vacuum pump at 5 kPa for

166

60-80 minutes to remove the air in the chip. Then, the chip was taken to

167

the normal atmosphere and the transparent adhesive tape covering inlet

168

was punctured. 10 µL reaction solution was pipetted and inserted into the

169

inlet. Because of the draught head, the solution was dispensed into the

170

chambers in five minutes approximately. The CMD-LAMP assay was the

171

same as the MD-LAMP assay. Similarly, various concentrations of HNB

172

(50, 150, 250, 350 µM) were also tested. Two replicates of 5×104 CFU/

173

mL of VP template were conducted to find out the proper HNB

174

concentration and three replicates were tested to determine the sensitivity

175

and specificity. And next, the silicone oil containing PDMS A and B

176

(silicone oil: A: B= 12: 2: 1) was inserted following the reaction solution. 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


177

When all of the chambers were filled by reaction solution and separated

178

by the silicone oil, the sealing mixture with a ratio of PDMS A: B= 2:1

179

was added into the inlet and outlet. Finally, the surface of the SPC chip

180

was covered by transparent adhesive tape again and the chip could be

181

incubated for CMD-LAMP reaction. The chip was incubated at 63 ºC for

182

60 min and heated at 80 ºC for 10 min to inactivate the enzyme in the

183

PCR machine (LongGene, China) with a flat-bed heating block.

184

2.6 Food contaminated samples treatment

185

Fresh shrimp was purchased from a local market in Changchun, China

186

and quickly brought to the laboratory in an ice box. The sample was

187

treated following the literature.25-27 First, the shrimp was grinded and

188

spread on a Petri dish without cap, followed by exposure to UV

189

disinfection light for 2 hours in order to avoid the interference from the

190

naturally accumulated VP in the shrimp. Then, 10g of sanitized shrimp

191

paste was added into 100 mL of APW with 3.0 % NaCl and the mixture

192

was homogenized. To determine the linear correlation between bacterial

193

concentration and the response value of CMD-LAMP method in this

194

shrimp homogenate, spiked samples were prepared by adding standard

195

strain of VP to the matrix with different final concentrations (2.5×102

196

CFU/ mL, 1.0×103 CFU/ mL, 4.0×103 CFU/ mL, 1.6×104 CFU/ mL,

197

6.4×104 CFU/ mL, 2.56×105 CFU/ mL and 1.024×106 CFU/ mL) as

198

determined by plate counting. The shrimp homogenate without bacteria 10 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 10 of 35

Page 11 of 35


199

was chosen as the control. Afterwards, the protocol of DNA extraction

200

and CMD-LAMP was the same as described above.

201

Similarly, shrimp homogenate with 1×103 CFU/ mL isolation strain of

202

VP was prepared. For better simulating the practical situation, the mixture

203

was placed at the room temperature for 6 hours and it was plate counted

204

before DNA extraction to compare with the result of CMD-LAMP. The

205

subsequent operation was the same as described above.

206

2.7 Data collection and statistical analyses

207

The emission spectra analysis and the images acquisition of

208

MD-LAMP reaction, CMD-LAMP reaction and electrophoresis were

209

performed by Maestro In-vivo Imaging system (CRi, USA). The

210

fluorescence was excited by a blue light at 455 nm with an exposure time

211

of 5000 ms. The images under the natural light were obtained by a smart

212

phone (Apple, USA).

213

The excited fluorescent intensity and the number of positive signal

214

plots on the chip were expressed as the mean± standard deviation (x ̅±

215

SD). Probit analysis was used to estimate 95% probability limit of

216

detection (LOD) with SPSS Statistics Software Version 22.0 (IBM,

217

USA).

218

3 Results

219

3.1 Self-priming compartmentalization (SPC) microfluidic chip

220

The SPC chip used for VP detection contained 1056 uniform 11 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


221

rectangular micro-chambers which were interlacedly located on 16

222

branch channels converged at the outlet (Fig. 1A). The length and width

223

of the micro-chambers were both 200 µm, and their height was 150 µm.

224

The width of primary channels connecting with the inlet and branch

225

channels connecting with the micro-chambers were 100 µm and 50 µm.

226

All of the channels were 50 µm high. The bottom of the chip was sealed

227

by a piece of 0.17 mm thick coverslip and the total size of it was 29 mm

228

× 15 mm × 4.5 mm, which was similar with a coin size (Fig. 1B).

229

The self-priming compartmentalization was realized by the air pressure

230

difference between atmosphere and the degassed chip. Because of the air

231

permeability of PDMS, the negative pressure could sustain a long enough

232

time for reaction solution and silicon oil flowing into the chip. First, the

233

reaction solution was sucked into the micro-chambers from the inlet

234

driven by the air pressure. Then, the following silicon oil was self-primed

235

into the chip replacing the redundant reaction solution in the channels.

236

Finally, all the channels were filled with silicon oil, which made each

237

micro-chamber filled with reaction solution as a separate unit (Fig. 1C

238

and Fig. 1D).

239

3.2 MD-LAMP Assays

240

As reported previously, 20 the mixed-dye-based dual fluorescence was

241

greatly influenced by HNB rather than SYBR Green I. Thus, the

242

concentration of HNB was only investigated to develop MD-LAMP 12 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 12 of 35

Page 13 of 35


243

assays. As suggested in Fig. S-1, 350 µM of HNB was the optimized

244

concentration to constitute the mixed dye. When excited by a 455 nm

245

blue light, positives emitted green fluorescence and non-target controls

246

(NTCs) were orange red, which could be easily judged by naked eyes.

247

In the emission spectra from 500 to 650 nm, the fluorescence intensity

248

at 540 nm (FI540) of positive decreased and the fluorescence intensity at

249

610 nm (FI610) of NTC increased (Fig. S-1). Thus, the result was defined

250

as positive when the FI540 was greater than the FI610. To investigate the

251

sensitivity of MD-LAMP, a series of VP templates with ten-fold dilution

252

concentrations were detected. As shown in Fig. 2A, the detection

253

sensitivity reached down to 1×104 CFU/ mL. In addition, Fig. 2B showed

254

that MD-LAMP had high detection specificity, since the green

255

fluorescence only occurred in the reactions with target bacteria, which

256

was further confirmed by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis (Fig. S-2).

257

Due to the ambiguous result with 1×103 CFU/ mL VP (Fig. 2A), the

258

LOD of MD-LAMP was further investigated. Meanwhile, the

259

conventional LAMP and PCR was tested. Their LODs in 95% probability

260

were calculated through probit analysis. As displayed in Table 1, the LOD

261

of MD-LAMP was approximately 14528.001 CFU/ mL, which was better

262

than those of conventional LAMP and PCR. However, this LOD still

263

didn’t meet the VP maximum limits of 1000 CFU/ mL defined by the

264

CNFSS. To address this issue, a microfluidic chip was fabricated to 13 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


265

develop CMD-LAMP.

266

3.3 Mixed Dye for CMD-LAMP

267

Because the microcosmic on-chip reaction was different from the

268

macroscopical off-chip reaction, the concentration of HNB should be

269

re-optimized to achieve the optimal mixed dye for CMD-LAMP. Two

270

parallel samples with 5×104 CFU/ mL Vibrio parahemolyticus was used

271

to the optimization experiment (Fig. 3). As depicted in Fig. 3B, 150 µM

272

HNB could obviously increase the color change between the positive plot

273

and the negative plot. When the concentration of HNB was 50 µM, due to

274

the strong green background fluorescence which mainly produced from

275

SYBR Green I combined with the non-amplification DNA template of

276

sample, it was hard to indicate the result. As for the relatively high

277

concentration like 250 µM and 350 µM, HNB could cover the

278

fluorescence intensity at 540 nm and made the green fluorescence weak.

279

What’s more, the strong red fluorescence of HNB influenced the result

280

judgment, which might make parts of positive plots be misclassified as

281

the false negative. Regarding the above, 150 µM of HNB was determined

282

to perform CMD-LAMP reaction.

283

3.4 Sensitivity and specificity of CMD-LAMP reaction

284

With the optimized assay, three concentrations of pure culture VP were

285

detected by SPC microfluidic chip to roughly determine the sensitivity.

286

As shown in Fig.4, 1.7± 0.6, 33.3± 8.3 and 277.0± 35.5 positive plots 14 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Page 14 of 35

Page 15 of 35


287

were easily counted with the concentration of 1×103 CFU/ mL, 1×104

288

CFU/ mL and 1×105 CFU/ mL, respectively. There was a good

289

proportional relation (R2= 0.9995). In the positive control for 1×108 CFU/

290

mL VP detection, almost all the chambers were positive attributed to the

291

limitation of 1056 micro-chambers (Fig. 4D). In the NTCs, there was no

292

positive signal observed (Fig. 4E). Thus, the results demonstrated that the

293

CMD-LAMP reaction was feasible to complete the VP quantitative

294

determination and the LOD was approximated 1×103 CFU/ mL.

295

Furthermore, the specificity of CDM-LAMP was tested with other four

296

common non-target food-borne pathogens. As shown in Fig.5, only the

297

detection of VP displayed a positive result, proving that CDM-LAMP was

298

capable of realizing on-chip VP detection with high specificity.

299

3.5 Real application of CMD-LAMP in food contaminated samples

300

To validate the applicability of the CMD-LAMP method, templates

301

extracted from food contaminated samples with different concentrations

302

of VP were tested to fit the regression line equation. The acquired

303

equation was similar to it of pure culture VP detection (y= 0.0023x+ 0.54,

304

R2= 0.9993 vs y= 0.0028x+ 1.41, R2= 0.9995, Fig. S-3 vs Fig. 4).

305

Meanwhile, as shown in Fig. S-3C, 2.7± 1.2 positive plots could be

306

counted with the concentration of 1×103 CFU/ mL, which verified that

307

the LOD of CMD-LAMP could reach down to 1×103 CFU/ mL in the

308

What’s more, simulating the practical situation, five isolation strains of

310

VP in the shrimp homogenate were measured by CMD-LAMP. As shown

311

in Tab. 2 and Fig. S-4, comparing with the result of “gold standard”, plate

312

count method, the recovery rate was in an excellent range from 93.38% to

313

103.61% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the measured value

314

was less than 9.32%, demonstrating that this approach was stable and

315

promising in actual samples detection.

4 Discussion

317

VP-caused food safety is always of over-whelming public concern.

318

Therefore, developing new methods to detect VP rapidly and

319

quantitatively is focused on by the scientists especially in the developing

320

countries, such as China. Because of the advantages of isothermal nucleic

321

acid amplification, LAMP for VP detection was first reported in 200812

322

and subsequently it was widely developed to target other genes of VP.28-32

323

However, these traditional LAMP approaches compromised on

324

quantitative analysis and detection of VP with low concentration, which

325

had to be quantified and pre-enriched through tedious bacteria culture.16,

326

33-37

To address these obstacles, the combination of microfluidics and

327

LAMP is an alternative way, but currently reported methods are still not

328

appropriate for the prospective on-site VP detection.38, 39

329

Herein, in this study, a novel rapid VP quantitative detection method

330

based on MD-LAMP assay using SPC microfluidic chip is reported for 16 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

331

the first time. Compared with traditional approaches and other LAMP

332

methods for VP detection, CMD-LAMP shows its competitive superiority

333

(Tab. S-2, Tab. S-3). First, the use of the mixed dye and SPC microfluidic

334

chip

335

pre-enrichment process, the LOD reaches down to 1×103 CFU/ mL,

336

which is the highest safety limit value (M) of VP in Chinese seafood and

337

ready-to-eat food. Second, for the unique fluorescence property of mixed

338

dye, the result of the reaction can be easily identified no matter off-chip

339

or on-chip detection. Under the blue excitation light at 455 nm, the

340

distinguishable color change of positive and negative sample reduces the

341

misjudgment of the low-concentration sample. Third, the result of

342

CMD-LAMP detection can be quantitatively analyzed directly. Within the

343

detection range, the exact bacteria concentration of the sample can be

344

calculated accurately by counting the positive plots on the chip. Last but

345

not least, this approach is cost-effective and requires only less than two

346

hours to complete all the protocol from DNA extraction to result readout.

improves

the

sensitivity.

Without

bacteria

347

Additionally, in the outbreak of food safety event, the time to identify

348

and quantify pathogens greatly determines the degree of harm diffusion

349

and influences the treatment of infectious diseases. As shown in Fig. 6, a

350

new emergency coping strategy for VP infections were proposed based on

351

CMD-LAMP. Taking this rapid and quantitative VP detection approach,

352

the government can quickly response to pandemic threat in two hours. 17 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


353

Thus, CMD-LAMP has huge potential in food safety screening.
