Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an aptamer nucleic acid molecule, a method for detecting intracellular or extracellular RNA, DNA, or other target molecules, and a kit containing the aptamer. The aptamer of this invention can specifically bind to a fluorophore molecule and significantly enhance its fluorescence intensity under appropriate wavelength light excitation. Background Technology
[0002] In living cells, RNA possesses unique structures, diverse biological functions, and complex temporal and spatial distributions. The identification, function, and regulation of different RNA species and their modified forms have become international frontiers. Developing technologies for real-time tracking and analysis of these RNAs is crucial for understanding various cellular life processes.
[0003] Currently, the more mature techniques for RNA imaging mainly include the following: RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), molecular beacon technology, the RNA-binding protein-fluorescent protein (MCP-FPs) system, and fluorescent RNA technology. Among these, FISH has long been widely used to study the intracellular level and distribution of RNA. It involves fluorescently labeling specific RNA molecules through molecular hybridization, followed by imaging. However, its operation is complex and includes an elution step, limiting its application to immobilized or dead cells and preventing real-time monitoring of dynamic RNA changes in living cells. Molecular beacon technology, on the other hand, was the earliest developed live-cell RNA imaging technique. It uses a stem-loop dual-labeled oligonucleotide probe with a hairpin structure at both the 5' and 3' ends. When it binds to target RNA, the quenching effect of the quenching group at one end on the fluorescent group is eliminated, resulting in fluorescence, or the FRET of the fluorescent groups at both ends disappears. However, molecular beacons suffer from drawbacks such as low fluorescence signal, difficulty in cell entry, easy degradation, significant non-specific aggregation in the cell nucleus, susceptibility to RNA secondary structure, and the need for custom-designed oligonucleotide probes for each RNA molecule. These limitations restrict the widespread application of this technology. Currently, the main method for live-cell RNA imaging utilizes the MCP-FPs system. MCP-FPs can specifically recognize and bind to mRNA molecules fused with multiple copies of the MS2 sequence, monitoring mRNA synthesis and distribution in real time by detecting the signal of the fluorescent protein (Ozawa et al. Nature Methods. 2007.4: 413-419). However, MCP-FPs without bound mRNA molecules produce high background fluorescence, resulting in a low signal-to-noise ratio for this method. Subsequently, scientists added a nuclear localization signal to the MCP-FPs fusion protein, allowing GFP-MS2 without bound mRNA molecules to localize in the cell nucleus, which to some extent reduced non-specific fluorescence in the cytoplasm and improved the signal-to-noise ratio of detection.
[0004] In 2003, Professor Roger Tsien, one of the Nobel laureates in Chemistry for his work on fluorescent proteins, proposed that RNA aptamers could specifically recognize, bind to, and activate dye molecules, thereby enabling the visualization of RNA. Based on this principle, his research group screened and obtained malachite green (MG) dye molecules that could bind to and activate the triphenylmethane dye, achieving a fluorescence enhancement of up to 2360 times. Unfortunately, since MG itself is a biological staining agent, it cannot be used for live-cell RNA labeling. Encouraged and inspired by this discovery, scientists have developed other RNA aptamer-fluorophore complexes over the past decade, including fluorescent RNAs based on Hoechst derivatives, cyanine dyes, fluorophore-quenching groups (FQ), and fluorescent protein chromophore derivatives. Compared to other RNA imaging techniques, RNA labeling and imaging can be achieved simply by fusing the RNA aptamer coding sequence with the target RNA coding sequence and adding dye molecules, without the need to introduce other nucleic acid or protein molecules. Therefore, it is the most direct RNA imaging method and the most promising technology for ideal live-cell RNA labeling and imaging.
[0005] In 2011, S. Jaffrey's research group used the SELEX method to obtain a nucleic acid aptamer called "Spinach" using DFHBI (3,5-difluoro-4-hvdroxybenzyli-dene imidazolinone), a derivative of the green fluorescent protein chromophore HBI, as a screening target. The binding of Spinach to DFHBI significantly enhanced the fluorescence signal of DFHBI. Using the Spinach-DFHBI complex, they achieved the first-ever tracking of target RNA in mammalian cells (Paige et al. Science. 2011. 333: 642-646). This group replaced one stem-loop structure in "Spinach" with a nucleic acid aptamer that can specifically bind to cellular metabolites, developing a tool based on the Spinach-DFHBI complex for detecting cellular metabolites (Paige et al. Science. 2012. 335: 1194). To date, this method has been successfully used to monitor and analyze RNA dynamics in bacteria, yeast, and mammalian cells. Subsequently, the research group optimized the nucleic acid aptamer molecule and fluorophore, obtaining Spinach2-DFHBI-1T, which further improved the properties of the new complex. In 2014, the group combined SELEX with flow cytometry and screened for Broccoli (Filonov et al. Journal of the American Chemical Society. 2014. 136: 16299-16308). Compared with the previous Spinach-DFHBI and Spinach2-DFHBI-1T, Broccoli-DFHBI-1T showed significant improvements in fluorescence intensity and stability. However, Broccoli-DFHBI-1T still suffered from severe magnesium ion dependence and poor photostability. In 2020, the group further optimized DFHBI-1T, obtaining a new fluorophore BI, and finally obtained a new complex Broccoli-BI (Li et al. Angewandte Chemie International Edition in English. 2020. 59: 4511-4518). In 2017, the research group also developed the Corn-DFHO complex for detecting the activity of the RNA polymerase III promoter in mammalian cells (Song et al. Nature Chemical Biology. 2017.13: 1187-1194).
[0006] In 2019, a joint research team comprised of Professors Yang Yi and Zhu Linyong from China achieved a breakthrough in the field of fluorescent RNA. Based on a novel molecular design concept, they designed and synthesized a new fluorophore molecule, HBC, and screened for its highly compatible nucleic acid aptamer, Pepper. Simultaneously, they chemically modified HBC to obtain a series of derivatives, and the complexes bound to Pepper exhibited spectra covering cyan, green, orange, and red. The Pepper-HBC620 complex emitted bright red fluorescence and exhibited good photostability, enabling SIM super-resolution imaging.
[0007] In summary, all currently used RNA labeling technologies have their own drawbacks. MCP-FPs labeling technology suffers from strong background fluorescence and low signal-to-noise ratio due to non-specific binding. RNA labeling technologies based on aptamer-fluorophore-quencher complexes have only been successfully applied to RNA in bacteria and have not yet been implemented in mammalian cells. RNA labeling technologies based on single fluorophores and nucleic acid aptamers appear to be the perfect RNA labeling technology; however, they are limited by the limited number of bioorthogonal fluorescent RNAs available, the fact that most complexes are located in the green band, exhibit strong magnesium ion dependence, and poor photostability, thus limiting their widespread use. Therefore, the research and industry communities have consistently sought more efficient fluorophore-nucleic acid aptamer complexes that can overcome the shortcomings of previous fluorophore-nucleic acid aptamer complexes for real-time labeling of RNA or DNA in living cells.

[0120] Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acid molecules that have a secondary structure consisting of one or more base-pairing regions (stems) and one or more unpaired regions (loops). Figure 1 A). The nucleic acid aptamer molecule described in this invention comprises a... Figure 1 The secondary structure predicted by A. This secondary structure contains two stem structures, two loop structures, and one stem-loop structure. Stem 1 serves to stabilize the overall structure of the nucleic acid aptamer molecule and can be replaced by any nucleotide base pairs of any length and composition that can form the stem structure. The 5' or 3' end of the stem 1 structure can be fused with any target RNA molecule for extracellular or intracellular detection of the target RNA molecule. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the 5' end of the nucleic acid aptamer molecule is fused with a 5S RNA sequence (Genebank: NR_023377.1); in another preferred embodiment of the invention, the 5' end of the nucleic acid aptamer molecule is fused with an ACTB RNA sequence (ACCESSION NM_001101).

Figure 1 Structure B (SEQ ID NO: 1). The nucleotide sequence can specifically recognize / bind to target molecules. When the target molecule is absent, the binding ability of the aptamer molecule to the fluorophore molecule is weak, resulting in weak fluorescence of the fluorophore molecule; when the target molecule is present, the binding of the target molecule to the aptamer promotes the binding of the aptamer to the fluorophore molecule, significantly improving the fluorescence of the fluorophore molecule under appropriate wavelength excitation light. The target molecule can be a small molecule, a cell surface signaling molecule, etc. These nucleic acid aptamers bind to specific target molecules non-covalently, which mainly relies on intermolecular ionic forces, dipole forces, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, electron-positron interactions, stacking interactions, or a combination of the above forces. The stem-loop structure can be replaced with an RNA sequence that recognizes the target molecule for extracellular or intracellular detection of the target molecule.

Figure 2 As shown in B.
[0124] The "nucleic acid aptamer molecule" described in this invention is an RNA molecule, or a DNA-RNA hybrid molecule in which some nucleotides are replaced with deoxyribonucleotides. The nucleotides can be their D and L enantiomers, and also include their derivatives, including but not limited to 2'-F, 2'-amino, 2'-methoxy, 5'-iodo, and 5'-bromo-modified polynucleotides. Nucleic acids include various modified nucleotides.
[0125] identity
[0126] "Identity" in this invention describes the correlation between two nucleotide sequences. The identity calculation of the two aptamer nucleotide sequences in this invention does not include N1, N9, and N in sequence (a). 10 N 11 N 29 For the purposes of this invention, the degree of identity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the Needle program, preferably version 3.0.0 or later, of the EMBOSS software package (EMBOSS: The European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, Rice et al., 2000, Trends in Genetics 16: 276-277), specifically the Needleman-Wunsch algorithm (Needleman and Wunsch, 1970, J. Mol. Biol. 48: 443-453). Optional parameters used are a gap penalty of 10, a gap extension penalty of 0.5, and an EBLOSUM62 substitution matrix (EMBOSS version of BLOSUM62). The percentage identity is calculated using the Needle output labeled "longest identity" (obtained using the -nobrief option) as follows:
[0127] (identical residues × 100) / (alignment length - total number of gaps in alignment).
[0128] For example, in Table 1 of this invention, the sequences of Paprika(U2A) and Paprika(U2C) are Paprika(U2A): N1 A GUAGUAN9-N 10 -N 11 GGAAGAAUUGAUCUCGGN 29 And Paprika (U2C): N1 C GUAGUAN9-N 10 -N 11 GGAAGAAUUGAUCUCGGN 29 When comparing their identity, according to the definition of this invention, it should not include... N1, N9- N 10 -N H and N 29 The nucleotide bases are different, so their sequence identity comparison result is 96% (difference of 1 nucleotide).

[0189] Through the aptamer molecules described in this invention, such as Figure 1 In the structure shown in B, the inserted nucleotide sequence replaces... Figure 1 N9 and N in A 10 N 11 The stem-loop structure of this nucleotide sequence allows it to specifically recognize and bind to target molecules. When the target molecule is absent, the aptamer molecule does not bind to the fluorophore molecule or has a weak binding affinity, failing to significantly enhance the fluorescence of the fluorophore molecule under appropriate wavelength excitation light. However, when the target molecule is present, the binding of the target molecule to the nucleotide sequence promotes the binding of the aptamer molecule to the fluorophore molecule, significantly enhancing the fluorescence of the fluorophore molecule under appropriate wavelength excitation light, thus enabling the detection, imaging, and quantitative analysis of the target molecule.
[0190] Target molecules can be the entire cell or molecules expressed on the entire cell surface. Typical cells include, but are not limited to, cancer cells, bacterial cells, fungal cells, and normal animal cells. Target molecules can also be viral particles.

[0204] Nucleic acid aptamer secondary structure
[0205] The secondary structure of the nucleic acid aptamer in this patent was predicted using the mFold online analysis software (http: / / www.unafold.org / RNA_form.php). The stem structure in the secondary structure refers to a local double-stranded structure formed by complementary hydrogen bonding in certain regions within the single strand of the nucleic acid aptamer molecule. Generally, the formation of a double-stranded structure does not require all nucleotides in that region to be complementary; typically, N1 and N... 29 and N9 and N 11 A stem structure is formed when at least 50% of the nucleotides in one segment of a sequence undergo complementary pairing with another segment. If N1 and N... 29 If it is a single nucleotide, then N1 and N are required. 29 Only complete complementarity can form a stem structure (e.g.) Figure 1 (As shown in A).

The DNA molecule may further include a DNA sequence encoding any target nucleic acid molecule. In one embodiment of the invention, the DNA molecule encoding the target RNA includes a DNA sequence encoding fibrous actin ACTB (the sequences of the chimeric RNA are SEQ ID No: 14).
[0208] promoter
[0209] In this invention, "promoter" includes both eukaryotic and prokaryotic promoters. The promoter sequences of eukaryotic cells are completely different from those of prokaryotic cells. Generally, eukaryotic promoters cannot be recognized by RNA polymerases in prokaryotic cells to mediate RNA transcription. Similarly, prokaryotic promoters cannot be recognized by RNA polymerases in eukaryotic cells to mediate RNA transcription. The strength of different promoters varies greatly (strength refers to the ability to mediate transcription). Depending on the application, strong promoters can be used to achieve high levels of transcription. For example, high levels of expression are better for labeling, while lower levels of transcription allow cells to process transcription more effectively when evaluating transcriptional behavior. Depending on the host cell, one or more suitable promoters can be selected. For example, when used in *E. coli* cells, the T7 phage promoter, lac promoter, trp promoter, recA promoter, ribosomal RNA promoter, PR and PL promoters in λ phage, and other promoters, but not limited to: lacUV5 promoter, ompF promoter, bla promoter, lpp promoter, etc. Furthermore, a hybrid trp-1acUV5 promoter (tac promoter) or other E. coli promoters obtained through recombinant or synthetic DNA technology can be used to transcribe the RNA aptamer described in this invention. Some operator sequences inherent in bacteria can combine with promoter sequences to form inducible promoters, in which case specific inducers are required to induce DNA transcription. For example, the lac operator requires the addition of lactose or a lactose analog (IPTG) to induce its expression; other operators include trp, pro, etc.
[0210] As mentioned above, the regulatory sequence at the 5' end of the coding sequence of a DNA molecule is the promoter. Whether obtaining RNA aptamers through in vitro transcription or expressing aptamers in cultured cells or tissues, it is necessary to select an appropriate promoter based on its strength. Since in vivo expression of aptamers can be genetically manipulated, another type of promoter is the inducible promoter, which responds to specific environmental conditions to induce DNA transcription, such as expression in specific tissues, at specific times, or at specific developmental stages. These different promoters can be recognized by RNA polymerases I, II, or III.
[0211] Transcription initiation in eukaryotic cells requires suitable promoters, including but not limited to β-globulin promoters, CAG promoters, GAPDH promoters, β-actin promoters, actin promoters, Cstf2t promoters, SV40 promoters, PGK promoters, MMTV promoters, adenovirus Ela promoters, and CMV promoters. Transcription termination in eukaryotic cells depends on specific cleavage sites in the RNA sequence. Similarly, different RNA polymerase transcription genes have significantly different transcription terminators. However, screening for suitable 3' transcription terminator regions is a routine experimental skill in human-derived transcription.
[0212] Expression System
[0213] The "expression system" of this invention, also known as an "expression vector," comprises a DNA molecule integrated with an expression nucleic acid aptamer. The expression system of this invention can be a plasmid or a viral particle.

[0215] Numerous host expression systems can be used to express the DNA molecules described in this invention. Primarily, the vector system must be compatible with the host cell used. Host vector systems include, but are not limited to: bacteria containing transformed bacteriophage DNA, plasmid DNA, or Cos plasmid DNA; yeast containing a yeast vector; virus-infected mammalian cells (e.g., adenovirus, adeno-associated virus, retrovirus); virus-infected insect cells (e.g., baculovirus); and plant cells infected with bacteria or transformed via particle bombardment. The strength and characteristics of the expression elements in the vectors vary considerably. Any one or more suitable transcription elements are selected depending on the host-vector system used.
[0216] Once the constructed DNA molecules are cloned into a vector system, they can be easily transferred into host cells. Depending on the vector or host cell system, methods include, but are not limited to, transformation, transduction, conjugation, fixation, and electroporation.

In another specific embodiment of the present invention, an expression plasmid pLKO.1-Paprika-1-MS2 containing a DNA molecule encoding Paprika-1-MS2 is provided.
[0218] This invention also provides an expression vector that integrates a DNA molecule encoding a nucleic acid aptamer, but with a gap in the DNA sequence encoding the target RNA molecule. The gap in the DNA sequence encoding the target RNA molecule allows the user to select the DNA sequence of the target RNA molecule to be detected, such as the DNA sequence corresponding to GAPDH mRNA. The DNA sequence is inserted into this expression vector using standard recombinant DNA technology. The obtained expression vector is then introduced into host cells (transfection, transformation, infection, etc.) to detect the content and distribution of the target RNA.
[0219] host cells
[0220] In this invention, "host cell" includes, but is not limited to, bacteria, yeast, mammalian cells, insect cells, plant cells, zebrafish cells, fruit fly cells, and nematode cells.

N Proteins are coated on the array surface via MS2 with MCP protein, PP7 with PCP protein, or boxBRNA with λ. N The specific action of the protein anchors the nucleic acid aptamer molecule; (3) an RNA or DNA sequence is fused to the 5' or 3' end of the nucleic acid aptamer molecule, and an RNA sequence complementary to the RNA sequence or a DNA sequence complementary to the DNA sequence is anchored on the array surface. The nucleic acid aptamer molecule is anchored on the array surface through the principle of molecular hybridization. The detection array can be used to detect the presence and concentration of the target molecule. Therefore, the nucleic acid aptamer molecule will bind to the fluorophore molecule only in the presence of the target molecule, significantly increasing its fluorescence intensity at a suitable excitation wavelength. Within a certain range, the higher the concentration of the target molecule, the higher the fluorescence intensity.

[0230] Commonly used experimental methods and materials in the embodiments
[0231] (I) Preparation of nucleic acid aptamer molecules:
[0232] The cDNA corresponding to the RNA to be detected was amplified using primers containing the T7 promoter. RNA was obtained by transcription using the recovered double-stranded cDNA as a template, employing T7 RNA polymerase (purchased from Fermentas). To a 20 μL transcription system, 10 μL of 3M NaAc and 115 μL of DEPC water were added, mixed, and then 150 μL of a phenol-chloroform-isopropanol mixture (phenol:chloroform:isopropanol = 25:24:1) was added. The mixture was vortexed, centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was collected. An equal volume of chloroform solution was added, vortexed, and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min. This process was repeated once. 2.5 volumes of anhydrous ethanol were added to the supernatant, and the mixture was incubated at -20°C for 30 min, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was discarded. The precipitate was washed twice with pre-cooled 75% anhydrous ethanol. After the ethanol has evaporated, add an appropriate amount of screening buffer to resuspend the precipitate, treat at 75°C for 5 min, and let stand at room temperature for at least 10 min before use in subsequent experiments.
[0233] (II) Functional detection of nucleic acid aptamers
[0234] Paprika or Paprika mutant nucleic acid aptamer molecules were prepared according to common experimental method (I). 2.5 μM of the nucleic acid aptamer molecule and 0.5 μM of the fluorophore molecule were incubated in detection buffer (40 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 125 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 5% DMSO). The maximum excitation and emission peaks of the nucleic acid aptamer-fluorophore molecule complex were detected using a Synergy Neo2 multi-mode microplate reader. The fluorescence intensity of the nucleic acid aptamer-fluorophore molecule complex under its maximum excitation and emission conditions was then detected using the Synergy Neo2 multi-mode microplate reader. The control sample (1 μM fluorophore molecule without nucleic acid aptamer) was also measured under the same conditions, and the ratio of fluorescence intensity was calculated. For example, the maximum excitation peak of the complex formed by 2.5 μM Paprika-1 nucleic acid aptamer and 0.5 μM I-5-57 fluorophore molecule was 594 nm, and the maximum emission peak was 658 nm. The fluorescence intensity of the complex under excitation conditions of 594±10 nm and emission conditions of 658 nm±10 nm was 19567 using a Synergy Neo2 multi-functional microplate reader, while the fluorescence intensity of the control (0.5 μM I-5-57 fluorophore molecule) was 11 under the same detection conditions. Therefore, the activation factor of Paprika-1 nucleic acid aptamer for I-5-57 fluorophore molecule was 1779-fold.

PCR amplification to prepare the insert fragment: By introducing a 15-25 bp (excluding restriction sites) homologous sequence from the linearized vector terminal end into the 5' end of the forward and reverse PCR primers of the insert fragment, the 5' and 3' ends of the insert fragment PCR product contain sequences that are completely identical to those at the two ends of the linearized vector.
[0238] 3. Concentration determination of linearized vector and insert fragment: The linearized vector and insert fragment amplification products were diluted several times with equal volumes. 1 μL of the original product and the diluted product were taken for agarose gel electrophoresis. The band brightness was compared with the DNA molecular weight standard (DNA Marker) to determine their approximate concentration.
[0239] 4. Recombination reaction
[0240] The optimal amount of carrier used in the recombination reaction system is 0.03 pmol; the optimal molar ratio of carrier to insert fragment is 1:2-1:3, that is, the optimal amount of insert fragment used is 0.06-0.09 pmol.
[0241]
[0242] X and Y are the linearized vector and insert fragment calculated according to the formula, respectively. After the system is prepared, mix all components thoroughly and react at 50°C for 20 min. When the insert fragment is >5kb, the incubation time can be extended to 25 min. After the reaction is complete, it is recommended to cool the reaction tube on ice for 5 min. The reaction product can be directly converted or stored at -20°C and thawed for conversion when needed.
[0243] (iv) Cell culture and transfection:
[0244] In this example, all 293T / 17 cells were cultured in a CO2 incubator using high-glucose medium (RPMI) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), streptomycin, and penicillin. All COS-7 cells were cultured in a CO2 incubator using high-glucose medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), streptomycin, and penicillin. Cells were passaged when they reached 80-90% confluence. For transfection, [the following was used]. (Purchased from Promega) Follow the instructions.
[0245] (v) Fluorescence Imaging:
[0246] The main imaging experiment in this embodiment was performed using a Leica SP8 confocal laser microscope equipped with a white laser, with an HCXPLAPO 63x1.47 oil immersion microscope and a HyD detector.
[0247] Example 1. Secondary structure of Paprika nucleic acid aptamer molecule
[0248] The secondary structure of the Paprika aptamer was analyzed using the mFold online RNA structure analysis software. Paprika contains two stem structures, two loop structures, and one stem-loop structure. Figure 1 A). For one of the stem and stem-loop sequences, Paprika-1 (SEQ ID NO: 1) predicts the secondary structure ( Figure 1 B).
[0249] Example 2. Fluorescence activation effect of different Paprika-1 mutants on the I-5-57 fluorophore molecule.
[0250] To detect the fluorescence activation effect of different Paprika-1 mutants on the I-5-57 fluorophore, point mutations were performed on the Paprika-1 sequence as shown in Table 1. Paprika-1 mutant RNAs with different base mutations were prepared according to common experimental method (I). 0.5 μM I-5-57 was incubated with 2.5 μM of different Paprika-1 mutant RNAs, and the fluorescence activation factor for the I-5-57 fluorophore was measured according to common experimental method (II). The results showed that most Paprika-1 mutants with single-base mutations retained a strong fluorescence activation effect on I-5-57 (≥2-fold) (Table 2). Some Paprika-1 mutants with 2-5 base mutations also retained a strong fluorescence activation effect on I-5-57 (>20-fold) (Table 3). In summary, many single-base and multi-base mutants of Paprika-1 can still retain the aptamer function of activating the I-5-57 fluorophore.

[0276] To investigate the activation effect of base-modified Paprika-1 on I-5-57, base-modified Paprika-2 (SEQ ID NO: 4, sequence: GGUGUAGUAU) was synthesized. GACGTTCGCGTC The underlined bases in AGGAAGAAUUGAUCUCGGCC are deoxyribonucleotide bases) and Paprika-3 (SEQ ID NO: 5, this sequence: GGUGUAGUAU GACGUUCG C In GUCAGGAAGAAUUGAUCUCGGCC, the underlined bases are 2'-F modified bases (synthesized by Shanghai Jima Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.). These bases contain stem-loop structures where the bases have been replaced with deoxyribonucleotides. Figure 5 The shaded bases in A and some bases are modified by 2'-F.

[0277] Example 8. Paprika-1 tandem
[0278] To detect the activation effect of Paprika-1 tandem on I-5-57 fluorescence, Paprika-1 was tandemly arranged in three different ways:
[0279] (1) "Series 1" method ( Figure 6 A) The "head" and "tail" of the Paprika-1 structure are connected in a "head-tail" manner to obtain nPaprika-1 (where n is Paprika-1 that can be copied arbitrarily). In this embodiment, the encoding cDNAs of F30-2Paprika-4 and F30-4Paprika-4 (the sequences encoding RNA aptamers are SEQ ID NO: 6 and SEQ ID NO: 7, respectively) were synthesized from the whole genome. After PCR amplification, the nucleic acid aptamer RNA was prepared according to the common experimental method (I). 0.1 μM RNA aptamer was incubated with 10 μM I-5-57, and the fluorescence intensity was detected according to the common experimental method (II). The detection results showed that as n increased, the fluorescence of nPaprika-4-I-5-57 also increased. Although the fluorescence of nPaprika-4-I-5-57 did not increase by an equal multiple, it was still much higher than that of Paprika-1-I-5-57. Figure 6 D) indicates that the fluorescence intensity of the Paprika-1-I-5-57 complex can be increased by the "tandem 1" method.

In this embodiment, 2xPaprika-5 and 4xPaprika-5 encoding cDNAs (encoding RNA aptamer sequences SEQ ID NO: 8 and SEQ ID NO: 9, respectively) were synthesized from the whole genome. Nucleic acid aptamer RNA was prepared according to common experimental method (I). After incubating 0.1 μM RNA aptamer with 10 μM I-5-57, the fluorescence intensity was detected according to common experimental method (II). The detection results showed that the fluorescence of nxPaprika-1-I-5-57 increased with the increase of n. Figure 6 E) indicates that the fluorescence intensity of the Paprika-1-I-5-57 complex can be increased by the "tandem 2" method.
[0281] (3) "Series 3" method ( Figure 6 C) combines the above-mentioned "tandem 1" and "tandem 2", using nPaprika-1 obtained from "tandem 1" as a structural unit and tandemly following the "tandem 2" method to obtain n1 x n2Paprika-1 (where n1 and n2 are Paprika-1 units that can be copied arbitrarily). In this embodiment, 2x2Paprika-4 and 4x2Paprika-4 encoding cDNAs (encoding RNA aptamer sequences SEQ ID NO: 10 and SEQ ID NO: 11, respectively) were synthesized from the whole genome. Nucleic acid aptamer RNA was prepared according to common experimental method (I). After incubating 0.1 μM RNA aptamer with 20 μM I-5-57, the fluorescence intensity was detected according to common experimental method (II). The detection results showed that the fluorescence intensity of the Paprika-1 tandem-I-5-57 complex obtained through "tandem 3" was significantly higher than that of Paprika-1-I-5-57 ( Figure 6 F) indicates that the fluorescence intensity of the Paprika-1-I-5-57 complex can be increased by the "tandem 3" method.

After 4 hours, the bacteria were harvested and resuspended in PBS containing 2 μM I-5-57. BL21 (DE3, Star) E. coli transformed with the pET28a empty vector was used as a control. The results showed that only bacteria expressing F30-Paprika-1 and in the presence of I-5-57 exhibited bright red fluorescence. Figure 7 This indicates that the Paprika-1-I-5-57 complex can be used for fluorescent labeling of RNA in bacteria.

[0304] To detect the use of F30-Paprika-1 and I-5-57 as markers for RNA in mammalian cells, a mammalian cell expression plasmid expressing F30-Paprika-1 (SEQ ID NO: 2) was constructed. F30-Paprika-1 from Example 9 was amplified using primers P1, P2, and P3, respectively.
[0305] The primers used to amplify and linearize the pLKO.1puro vector are:

[0308] Using experimental method (III), these fragments were inserted into the pLKO.1puro vector, and the resulting expression vector was named pLKO.1-F30-Paprika-1. This plasmid expresses F30-Paprika-1.
[0309] pLKO.1-F30-Paprika-1 plasmid was transfected into 293T / 17 cells. After 36 hours, 1 μM I-5-57 was added to label F30-Paprika-1. Cells not expressing the corresponding aptamer were used as controls. The labeling effect was detected using experimental method (V). The results showed that the F30-Paprika-1-I-5-57 complex exhibited very bright red fluorescence. Figure 9 ).
[0310] Example 12. Paprika-1-I-5-57 as a tag for labeling U6 spliceosome RNA in living cells.
[0311] To verify the use of Paprika-1 and I-5-57 as tags to label U6 spliceosome RNA in living cells, a mammalian cell expression plasmid expressing U6-Paprika-1 (SEQ ID NO: 13) was constructed. The complete DNA sequence of U6-Paprika-1 was synthesized.

[0318] Using experimental method (III), these fragments were inserted into the pLKO.1puro vector, and the resulting expression vector was named pLKO.1-U6-Paprika-1, which expresses U6-Paprika-1. The pLKO.1-U6-Paprika-1 plasmid and the pCDN3.1 / hygro(+)-SART3-BFP plasmid (Chen et al. Nature biotechnology 2019.37: 1287-1293) plasmid were co-transfected into 293T / 17 cells. After 36 hours, 0.5 μM I-5-57 was added for labeling, and the labeling effect was detected using experimental method (V). The results showed that Paprika-1 and SART3-BFP co-localized on the Cajal body, with the bright spots in the figure representing the Cajal body. This demonstrates that the interaction between Paprika-1-I-5-57 and U6-SART3-BFP indicates the function of the Cajal body, consistent with previous reports. Figure 10 )(Chen et al. Nature biotechnology 2019.37: 1287-1293).
[0319] Example 13. Paprika-1-I-5-57 as a tag for mRNA labeling in living cells
[0320] To verify the use of Paprika-1 and I-5-57 as tags to label fibrous actin ACTB mRNA in living cells, mammalian cell expression plasmids were constructed. Based on previously reported literature (Chen et al. Nature biotechnology 2019.37:1287-1293), pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-ACTB and pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-ACTB-Paprika-1 were constructed, and these plasmids express ACTB and ACTB-Paprika-1, respectively (SEQ ID NO: 14).
[0321] First, we constructed an expression plasmid of chimeric RNA fused with different RNAs, consisting of Paprika-1. Because the Paprika-1 fragment is relatively short, we used primer homologous recombination to insert the Paprika-1 gene fragment obtained by primer bridging into the pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+) vector, resulting in the pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-Paprika-1 recombinant plasmid.
[0322] The primers used to amplify the pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-Paprika-1 fragment are:

[0327] The ACTB gene fragment (ACTB RNA sequence: ACCESSION NM_001101) was synthesized. The ACTB gene fragment was amplified using primers. The fragment was then inserted into the primer-linearized pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-Paprika-1 vector using experimental method (III) to obtain the pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-ACTB-Paprika-1 recombinant plasmid, which encodes the ACTB-Paprika-1 chimeric RNA.
[0328] The primers used to amplify the ACTB fragment are:
[0329] Upstream primer (P18): 5'-ATGGATGATGATATCGCCGC-3'
[0330] Downstream primer (P19): 5'-CTAGAAGCATTTGCGGTGGAC-3'

[0333] Downstream primer (P21): 5'- GCGGCGATATCATCATCCATGGATCCGAGCTCGGTACCAAG-3'
[0334] pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-ACTB and pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-ACTB-Paprika-1 plasmids were transfected into COS-7 cells, respectively. After 24 hours, 0.5 μM I-5-57 was added for labeling, and the labeling effect was detected using experimental method (V). The results showed that Paprika-1-I-5-57 can be used for ACTB mRNA labeling (…). Figure 11 ).
[0335] Example 14. Paprika-1 tag for RNA extraction and purification
[0336] To test the use of Paprika-1 for RNA extraction and purification, the pCDNA3.1 / hygro(+)-ACTB-Paprika-1 recombinant plasmid from Example 13 was transfected into COS-7 cells. Cells were collected 24 hours later, and total RNA was extracted using the Eastep Super Total RNA Extraction Kit (Promega). The extracted total RNA was dissolved in a buffer containing 40 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 125 mM KCl, and 5 mM MgCl2, incubated at 70°C for 10 min, and then left to stand at room temperature for at least 30 min.
[0337] 500 μL of Activated Thiol Sepharose 4B (GE Healthcare) was washed twice with 500 μL of PBS, then incubated with PBS containing 10 mM TCEP (Sigma) at room temperature for 1 h. After washing twice with 500 μL of PBS, maleamide-containing I-5-57 fluorophore molecules (Mal-I-5-57) were added and reacted at room temperature for 30 min, followed by washing three times with 500 μL of PBS. The total RNA treated above was incubated with the treated microbeads at room temperature for 30 min, then centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 2 min, and the supernatant was discarded. The agarose microbeads were washed 6 times with a buffer of 40 mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 125 mM KCl, and 5 mM MgCl2, centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded each time. The microbeads were resuspended in DEPC water, treated at 70 °C for 10 min, centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 2 min, and the supernatant was collected. Add 1 / 10 volume of NaAc and 2.5 volumes of anhydrous ethanol to the collected supernatant. Incubate at -80°C for 20 min, then centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C. Collect the precipitate and discard the supernatant. Wash the precipitate with pre-cooled 70% ethanol solution, centrifuge at 14000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, collect the precipitate, and discard the supernatant. Repeat this process once. Place the precipitate at room temperature for 5 min to allow the ethanol to evaporate completely, then resuspend the precipitate in a small volume of DEPC-containing water.
[0338] The fluorescence of the cell lysis supernatant and the eluent after final high-temperature elution were measured separately after incubation with the fluorophore I-5-57, with the lysis supernatant of blank cells serving as a control. The results showed that the fluorescence of the eluent after incubation with I-5-57 was significantly higher than that of the lysis supernatant before loading. Figure 12 The results indicate that ACTB-Paprika-1 RNA was well enriched, suggesting that Paprika-1 can be used as a tag for RNA isolation and purification.
