Sampling and DNA Isolation in Microbiota Studies

Year 2017, - Mikrobiyota, 50 - 55, 15.11.2017

Abstract

Microbiota changes, especially intestines in the human body, have been found to be associated with many diseases. One of the most important steps of microbiota studies; transfer, storage and preparation of the specimen under appropriate conditions. Mistakes and omissions that may occur during these stages will seriously affect the result of the study. Many factors such as age, diet, weight, antibiotic use, other medications (metformin, proton pump inhibitors, corticosteroids, etc.), hormonal conditions such as menopause / puberty, smoking / alcohol use, chronic diseases and oral dental problems must be recorded. Much of the work has been done on intestinal microbiota. However, there are also studies focusing on other parts of the body such as mouth, urogenital system, skin, respiratory tract, nose, placenta, breast milk and eye. It is generally preferred to take a fecal sample (at least 1 gram) in intestinal microbiota studies. It can be taken at home or at a health institution. The stool specimen can be stored for up to 24 hours in the room, in the refrigerator (+ 4 ° C) for a few days and at -80 ° C for long periods. If possible, several aliquots should be taken. Quick freezing (at -80°C) after taking sample is reference method. It is best to take it to the stabilization buffer before it is frozen. Rectal and faecal swab specimens have also begun to be used.It is emphasized that there are minor differences according to faecal examples, and it is more convenient and easier for bigger works. However, there is not enough work in this issue yet. Biopsy specimens from colon mucosa and column lavage fl uid may be used, although not very common. Mucosal microbiota is at the surface of the intestinal epithelium. For this reason it is less variant / consistent and interacts directly with host cells. It is therefore emphasized that mucosal biopsy specimens are gold standard sampling types. Nevertheless; colon preparation, invasive procedures such as colonoscopic biopsy, and the effect of biopsy size on the outcome are signifi cant disadvantages of this method. Various samples such as swabs or tissue sumples from other parts of the body can be used in microbiota anealysis. There is no universal DNA extraction method that can fi t all purposes for microbiota studies. High quality pure DNA is required. There are many different commercial kit available. They should be well analyzed before the study and investigated as appropriate. Automated systems have the highest effi ciency. Potential inhibitors that may affect the end must be removed.

Mikrobiyota Çalışmalarında Örnek Alımı ve DNA İzolasyonu

Year 2017, - Mikrobiyota, 50 - 55, 15.11.2017

Abstract

İnsan vücudunda başta bağırsaklar olmak üzere mikrobiyota değişikliklerinin birçok hastalıkla ilişkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Mikrobiyota çalışmalarının en önemli basamaklarından biri; numunenin uygun şartlarda toplanması, transferi, saklanması ve yine uygun koşullarda dizileme işlemlerine hazır hale getirilmesidir. Bu aşamalarda oluşabilecek hatalar ve eksiklikler çalışma sonucunu ciddi şekilde etkileyecektir. Yaş, diyet, kilo, antibiyotik kullanımı, diğer ilaçlar (metformin, proton pompa inhibitörleri, kortikosteroidler v.b.), menapoz/puberte gibi hormonal durumlar, sigara/alkol kullanımı, kronik hastalıklar ve ağız diş sorunları gibi birçok faktör mikrobiyota üzerine etkili olduğundan kayıt altına alınmalıdır. Çalışmaların büyük bir kısmı bağırsak mikrobiyotası üzerine yapılmıştır. Ancak; ağız, ürogenital sistem, deri, solunum yolu, burun, plesenta, anne sütü ve göz gibi vücudun diğer kısımlarına odaklanan çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır. Bağırsak mikrobiyota çalışmalarında genellikle dışkı örneği (en az 1 gram) alınması tercih edilmektedir. Evde veya sağlık kurumunda alınabilir. Dışkı örneği, oda ısısında en fazla 24 saat, buzdolabında (+4°C) birkaç gün ve -80°C’de uzun süre saklanabilmektedir. Mümkünse birkaç alikot alınmalıdır. Fekal örneğin alındıktan sonra hızlıca dondurulması (-80°C) referans yöntemdir. Dondurulmadan önce stabilizasyon tamponuna alınması en uygunudur. Rektal ve fekal swab örnekleri de kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Fekal örneklere göre minör farklılıklar olduğu vurgulanmakta, daha kullanışlı, daha kolay ve büyük çalışmalara uygundur. Ancak bu konuda henüz yeterli sayıda çalışma yoktur. Kolon mukozasından alınan biyopsi örnekleri ve kolon lavaj sıvısı, çok yaygın olmasa da kullanılabilir. Mukozal mikrobiyota, bağırsak epitelinin yüzeyindedir. Bu nedenle daha az değişkendir/tutarlıdır ve konak hücreleri ile doğrudan etkileşim içerisindedir. Bundan dolayı mukozal biyopsi örneklerinin gold standart örnekleme tipi olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Ancak; kolonun hazırlığı, kolonoskopik biyopsi gibi invaziv bir işlem gerektirmesi ve biyopsi boyutunun da sonucu etkileyebilmesi bu yöntemin önemli dezavantajlarıdır. Vücudun diğer bölgelerinden sürüntü veya doku örnekleri v.b. çeşitli örnekler mikrobiyota analizlerinde kullanılabilir. Mikrobiyota çalışmaları için tüm amaçlara uyabilecek evrensel DNA ekstraksiyon yöntemi yoktur. Yüksek kaliteli saf DNA gereklidir. Çok sayıda farklı yöntemlerle çalışan ticari kit mevcuttur. Bunlar, çalışma öncesi iyi analiz edilip amaca uygun oldukları araştırılmalıdır. Otomatize sistemler en yüksek verimliliğe sahiptir. Sonucu etkileyebilecek potansiyel inhibitörlerin uzaklaştırılmalıdır.
