This invention relates to the field of
biomedical technology, and discloses a 6mA modified single-stranded
DNA sequence that specifically binds to the MYH9
protein and its application in the treatment of
sepsis; the single-stranded
DNA sequence is specifically bound to the MYH9
protein. N 6 A single-stranded
DNA sequence modified with 6mA-methyladenine (
nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1) exhibits a specific adenine (A)
methylation at a specific position, which allows it to be specifically recognized and bound by the MYH9
protein. The binding specificity was verified
in vitro /
in vivo using EMSA,
biotin DNA pulldown WB assays, and MYH9-DNA IP assays. This 6mA-modified single-stranded DNA, by binding to the MYH9 protein, activates the downstream JAK1-STAT6 signaling pathway, promoting
macrophage polarization towards the M2
phenotype, inhibiting excessive inflammatory responses, improving survival rates, reducing
pathological damage to
spleen tissue, and ameliorhythmic symptoms such as
weight loss and
hypothermia in septic mice, thereby exerting an anti-septic effect. This effectively addresses the clinical pain points of existing non-specific anti-inflammatory therapies and possesses significant potential for
drug development.
