Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to an RNA extraction method based on a column method. Background Art

[0002] RNA, the full name of ribonucleic acid, is an important molecule in organisms. Together with DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, it constitutes the genetic material basis of living organisms. Unlike DNA, RNA is mainly present in the cytoplasm and plays an important role in transmitting genetic information and guiding protein synthesis in cells. In biomedical research, RNA extraction is an important experimental step. By extracting RNA from cells or tissues, the expression of specific genes can be studied, thereby gaining a deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms of life activities. In the process of RNA extraction, cells or tissues must first be broken to release RNA. Subsequently, through a series of chemical and physical treatment steps, proteins, DNA and other impurities are removed to finally obtain pure RNA. One of the existing RNA extraction methods is the column method. However, the lysis solution and elution buffer used in the existing column method mostly contain toxic substances such as phenol and chloroform, which not only bring dangers to the operation of the experiment, but also bring additional management and organizational costs to the laboratory, and are also prone to sample contamination. Therefore, the research on environmentally friendly and safe lysis solutions and elution buffers is particularly important. Summary of the invention

[0013] Furthermore, in step ②, the volume ratio of anhydrous ethanol to cell sample or tissue sample is (0.9-1.1):1.0, and centrifugation is performed at 10000-15000 r / min for 0.5-1.5 min.

The tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride in the lysate ensures that the lysate is within the stable pH range of RNA, thereby protecting the integrity of RNA. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid can effectively reduce the activity of RNase, thereby preventing RNA from being degraded during the extraction process, and ensuring the purity and integrity of the extracted RNA. 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate can react with the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, destroy the integrity of the membrane, thereby more effectively releasing RNA in the cell and increasing the total concentration of RNA. Saponin can reduce the surface tension of the solution, help to better dissolve and extract RNA, enhance cell lysis, and thus increase the total concentration of RNA. The tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride) in the elution buffer maintains the pH value of the eluent to be stable, ensuring that the RNA is in a suitable environment during the elution process, and avoiding damage to the RNA caused by changes in pH. Arginine can enhance the stability and solubility of RNA, and at the same time help to separate RNA from the column material. Cyclodextrin can increase the solubility of RNA. Sodium chloride affects the binding force between RNA and the column material by adjusting the ionic strength, and promotes the elution of RNA from the carrier. The different components in the lysate and elution buffer in the present invention act synergistically through different mechanisms, so that the total concentration of RNA extracted by the method of the present invention is high and the purity is high.

[0065] This comparative example is compared with Example 3, except that the lysate consists of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate, saponin and water in a mass volume ratio of 2.3:0.8:0.4:0.3:16.0 in g / mL.

[0066] Comparative Example 2

[0067] This comparative example is compared with Example 3, except that the lysate is composed of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and water in a mass volume ratio of g / mL of 1.5:0.3:12.5.

[0068] Comparative Example 3

[0069] The difference between this comparative example and Example 3 is that the lysate consists of guanidine thiocyanate, phenol, chloroform and isopropanol in a mass volume ratio of 5:1.5:1.5:2 in g / mL.

[0070] Comparative Example 4

[0071] This comparative example is compared with Example 3, except that the elution buffer consists of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride, arginine, cyclodextrin, sodium chloride, sodium dodecyl sulfate and water in a mass volume ratio of 1.2:0.2:0.6:7.0:0.6:55.0 g / mL.

[0072] Comparative Example 5

[0073] This comparative example is compared with Example 3, except that the elution buffer is composed of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride, sodium chloride, sodium dodecyl sulfate and water in a mass volume ratio of 0.6:5.0:0.3:45.0 g / mL.

[0074] Comparative Example 6

[0075] This comparative example is compared with Example 3, except that the elution buffer is composed of tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane hydrochloride, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, phenol and anhydrous ethanol in a mass volume ratio of 0.4:0.03:0.4:35.0 g / mL.

[0076] 1. Determination of total RNA concentration and purity

[0077] The total concentration and purity of the RNA extracted from Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were measured by a spectrophotometer, wherein the purity was measured by OD260 / 280 and OD260 / 230, each of which was measured 5 times and the average values ​​were calculated and recorded in Table 1.

[0078] Table 1

[0079]

[0080]

[0081] It can be seen from Table 1 that the total concentration of RNA extracted by the method of the present invention is high, and the OD260 / 280 and OD260 / 230 of the extracted RNA are both close to 2.0, which shows that the RNA extracted by the method of the present invention has high purity, and Example 3 has better effect.

[0082] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 1, the total concentration and purity of Example 3 are higher than those of Comparative Example 1. This is because the ratio of each component in the lysate needs to be precisely controlled to achieve the best cell lysis effect and RNA protection effect. Improper ratios will lead to low lysis efficiency, resulting in low total RNA concentration and low purity.

[0083] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 2, the total concentration and purity of Example 3 are higher than those of Comparative Example 2. This is because the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate lacking in the lysate of Comparative Example 2 can react with the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, destroy the integrity of the membrane, and thus more effectively release the RNA in the cell. The saponin therein can reduce the surface tension of the solution, help to better dissolve and extract RNA, and enhance cell lysis. The total RNA concentration is increased by the action of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate and saponin. At the same time, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole acetate and saponin help to effectively separate RNA from protein and DNA, thereby improving RNA purity.

[0084] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 3, the total concentration and purity of Example 3 are higher than those of Comparative Example 3. This is because the phenol in Comparative Example 3 may bind to part of the RNA to form an insoluble complex, which remains in the organic phase and cannot be completely extracted into the aqueous phase, resulting in RNA loss and decreased purity. Chloroform causes RNA to be distributed between the two phases, part of which will be redistributed into the organic phase, resulting in a decrease in the RNA concentration in the aqueous phase, thereby resulting in RNA loss and decreased purity.

[0085] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 4, the total concentration and purity of Example 3 are higher than those of Comparative Example 4. This is because each component needs to work synergistically at a specific ratio to ensure effective elution and purification of RNA, so that RNA with high concentration and high purity can be extracted.

[0086] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 5, the total concentration and purity of Example 3 are higher than those of Comparative Example 5. This is because arginine helps to maintain the stability of the RNA structure and prevents degradation during elution and purification by interacting with RNA molecules, thereby improving the purity of RNA. At the same time, arginine also helps to separate RNA from column materials, thereby increasing the concentration of RNA. Cyclodextrin has a unique cavity structure and can form inclusion compounds, which helps to increase the solubility of RNA in the aqueous phase, thereby increasing the total concentration of RNA in the eluent. Cyclodextrin can also interact specifically with impurities, thereby achieving selective separation of RNA from impurities and further improving the purity of RNA. Therefore, the total concentration and purity of RNA extracted in Example 3 are higher than those in Comparative Example 5.

[0087] By comparing Example 3 with Comparative Example 6, the total concentration and purity of Example 3 are higher than those of Comparative Example 6. This is because the phenol in Comparative Example 6 combines with part of the RNA to form a complex, making it more difficult to effectively separate the RNA during the elution process, thereby reducing the total concentration and purity of the RNA.

[0088] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
