Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for preparing plant protoplasts. Background Art

[0002] Single-cell sequencing technology was first introduced in 2009 and has been developing continuously for more than a decade. In particular, in recent years, single-cell sequencing has experienced explosive development and popularity. In 2011, Nature Methods magazine listed single-cell sequencing technology as one of the most noteworthy technical fields in the next few years. In 2013, Science magazine ranked single-cell sequencing as the top of the six most noteworthy fields of the year, and Nature Methods magazine listed the application of single-cell sequencing as the most important methodological progress of 2013. In 2017, the first batch of 38 projects to be funded by the "Human Cell Atlas Project", which is comparable to the "Human Genome Project", was officially announced, opening a new era of single-cell sequencing. At present, single-cell transcriptome sequencing technology has been widely used in different types of tissues and cell lines of various species (especially humans, mice, etc.), including normal and diseased tissues. However, in the field of botany, the application of single-cell sequencing technology is still in its infancy. After nearly two years of development, single-cell sequencing technology has been applied to the research of plant cell atlas, plant organ development and other fields. At present, most of the research on plant single cells is based on cell clustering and differential gene analysis, and then analyzes cell development and its regulatory mechanism, and then deeply explores the response mechanism of cells under abiotic stress environment. With the continuous breakthrough of technical bottlenecks, it has gradually expanded to multiple species such as rice, corn, tomato, poplar and peanut, involving multiple tissue types such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, pollen and sperm, and seed endosperm. The main methods for obtaining cells by single-cell sequencing technology include serial dilution method, micromanipulation technology, laser capture microdissection, microfluidic chip technology, fluorescence-activated cell sorting technology, etc., but the most commonly used method for obtaining cells is enzymatic hydrolysis. Enzymatic hydrolysis digests the extracellular matrix connecting cells, releases cells one by one, and then enriches and purifies the cells to finally obtain a single cell suspension. The cell wall in plant tissue is the main enzymatic hydrolysis of intercellular connections. The content of polysaccharides such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin is high. The cell wall can be removed by the corresponding enzyme to obtain protoplasts.

[0003] The existing single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) technology for plants includes the following steps: sample processing, which is generally divided into sample pre-treatment, enzymatic digestion, filtration, cleaning and other steps. This process is difficult to operate in botany because plant protoplasts are difficult to obtain, difficult to separate from the original tissue, and easy to break; after sample processing, single cell capture is completed through microfluidic droplet generation technology, and then the on-machine library is constructed through subsequent library construction experiments; corresponding data are obtained through sequencing analysis.

[0004] The shortcomings of the prior art include: (1) the plant protoplast experimental method shown in the literature is difficult to operate and the description is incomplete. The experimenter needs to have sufficient theoretical knowledge and undergo professional training and practice to complete the corresponding operation content; (2) plant sample processing is difficult, and it is difficult to obtain plant protoplasts of qualified quality through conventional methods; (3) the sample processing methods used in the prior art for different plant species and tissue organs vary greatly, and there is no universal or relatively universal sample processing solution; (4) the different sample processing solutions in the prior art have a great impact on the quality of protoplasts, resulting in huge differences and instability in quality control indicators such as cell viability and clumping rate.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a relatively universal method for preparing plant protoplasts. Summary of the invention

[0006] As mentioned above, there is an urgent need in the art for a method for preparing high-quality plant protoplasts.

[0007] The inventors used a combination of mannitol and antibiotics in the process of preparing plant protoplasts, thereby increasing the integrity of the protoplasts and reducing cell contamination, and ultimately using the obtained high-quality protoplasts for single-cell omics sequencing technology.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing plant protoplasts, the method comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1, sample preparation: wash plant tissues with plant lysis buffer;

[0010] S2, protoplast enzymatic hydrolysis: cutting the plant tissue into thin slices and performing enzymatic hydrolysis using a plant enzymatic hydrolysis buffer;

[0011] S3, centrifugation purification: after the first centrifugation, discard the supernatant; add plant lysis buffer to the precipitate and shake the precipitate; after the second centrifugation, discard the supernatant; add plant dissociation buffer to the precipitate, resuspend the cell precipitate and obtain protoplasts;

[0012] The plant lysis buffer, the plant enzymatic hydrolysis buffer and the plant dissociation buffer contain mannitol and antibiotics.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a kit for preparing plant protoplasts, the kit comprising reagents for performing the method described in the first aspect, the plant lysis buffer, the plant enzymatic hydrolysis buffer, and the plant dissociation buffer comprising mannitol and antibiotics.

[0014] In a third aspect, the present invention provides the use of the method described in the first aspect or the kit described in the second aspect in protoplast culture, transient transformation, cell fusion, and single-cell sequencing.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention include:

[0016] (1) The dissociation schemes for different plant tissue and organ samples were unified to make the dissociation schemes universal;

[0017] (2) Clarify the operation steps in the dissociation protocol, improve the dissociation success rate, standardization, and reproducibility between different batches of experiments, and reduce the difficulty of experimental operation;

[0018] (3) Through the standard operation of the present invention, protoplasts of qualified quality that meet the requirements of single-cell omics experiment library construction can be obtained, and at the same time, quality control indicators such as protoplast viability and agglomeration rate are controlled within the qualified range.

[0050] Example

[0051] It should be noted that the terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present invention. The above summary of the invention and the detailed description below are only for the purpose of specifically explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Without departing from the spirit and purpose of the present invention, the scope of the present invention is determined by the attached claims.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] In this example, single-cell omics research was conducted on cucumber callus tissue. The method provided by the present invention was used to prepare cucumber callus protoplasts, and library sequencing was performed on the protoplasts. After analysis, the data quality was found to be qualified, confirming the feasibility of the method provided by the present invention.

[0054] The protoplast preparation process is as follows:

[0055] (1) Sample preparation: Use a blade to remove callus tissues from 10 cultured cucumber plants (note the division between leaf tissue and callus tissue), cut the callus tissue into thin slices, take an appropriate amount of callus tissue (about 5 g) in a 10 cm culture dish, and wash the tissue once with 5 mL of plant lysis buffer (Table 1). Five callus tissues were used as one sample for subsequent experiments.

[0056] Table 1: Plant lysis buffer composition

[0057] Reagent name Final concentration Mannitol 600mM Morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution 20mM Potassium chloride 20mM Calcium chloride 10mM Dithiothreitol 1mM BSA 0.1% antibiotic 1%

[0058] The preparation method of the morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution is as follows: weigh 0.975 g of morpholineethanesulfonic acid and dissolve it in 25 mL of nuclease-free water; adjust the pH of the solution to 6.0 with 1N sodium hydroxide solution, and dilute to 50 mL for use.

[0059] (2) Sampling: Transfer the cleaned callus tissue to a new 10 cm culture dish and cut the tissue into 0.5 mm slices using a clean surgical blade. Add 10-20 mL of plant enzymatic hydrolysis buffer (Table 2), mix gently, and cover the dish for later use.

[0060] Table 2: Plant enzymatic digestion buffer composition

[0061] Reagent name Final concentration Mannitol 600mM Morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution 20mM Potassium chloride 20mM Calcium chloride 10mM Dithiothreitol 1mM BSA 0.1% antibiotic 1% Cellulase Onozuka R-10 2% Macerozyme R-10 (Macerozyme) 1%

[0062] (3) Enzymatic hydrolysis: Adjust the speed of the horizontal shaker to 40 rpm. After the speed stabilizes, fix the culture dish containing the tissue with sealing film and place it on the shaker in the dark for 2 hours for enzymatic hydrolysis. During this period, remove the dish every 30 minutes and gently shake to disperse the tissue clumps gathered in the middle area.

[0063] (4) Microscopic examination: When the enzymatic digestion solution becomes slightly turbid and the tissue edge is diffuse, aspirate 10 μL of the cell suspension, add 10 μL of trypan blue, mix well, and observe under a microscope; when it is confirmed that a single, round protoplast appears in the field of view and the amount of protoplasts is sufficient, the enzymatic digestion can be terminated.

[0064] (5) Sieving: After enzymatic hydrolysis, filter the cell suspension through a 70 μm cell sieve into a 50 mL round-bottom centrifuge tube. Add 10 mL of buffer to wash the plate and filter it through a 70 μm cell sieve into the tube.

[0065] (6) Centrifugation: Set the centrifugal parameters of the horizontal rotor centrifuge to: 100 g centrifugal force, speed increase 1, speed decrease 3, centrifugation at room temperature for 5 minutes. After centrifugation, discard the supernatant.

[0066] (7) Washing: Add 10 mL of plant lysis buffer to the precipitate and gently shake the precipitate.

[0067] (8) Recentrifugation: Set the centrifugal parameters of the horizontal rotor centrifuge to: 100 g centrifugal force, speed increase 1, speed decrease 3, centrifuge at room temperature for 5 minutes. After the centrifugation is completed, discard the supernatant.

[0068] (9) Resuspension: Add an appropriate volume of plant dissociation buffer (Table 3) to resuspend the cell pellet according to the amount of pellet (to ensure that the cell concentration is 1000-10000 cells / μL). Transfer the cell suspension to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and mix gently with a pipette (be careful not to create bubbles when pipetting).

[0070] Reagent name Final concentration Mannitol 600mM Morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution 20mM Potassium chloride 20mM Calcium chloride 10mM Dithiothreitol 1mM BSA 0.1% antibiotic 1% Nuclease-free water /

[0071] (10) Microscopic examination: Pipette 1 μL of cell suspension, add 1 μL of trypan blue, mix well, and observe under a microscope to confirm cell viability and estimate cell concentration. The qualified standards for microscopic examination include: a) the total number of cells obtained by dissociation exceeds 100,000; b) the protoplast clumping rate does not exceed 10%; c) the cell viability identified by trypan blue staining is higher than 70%.

[0072] The dissociation results are shown in Table 4. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, both callus samples were of qualified quality and could continue to be used for library construction.

[0073] Table 4: Dissociation experiment results

[0074]

[0075] The library construction and sequencing process are as follows:

[0076] (1) Each sample was fed with approximately 46,000 cells for subsequent library construction, and the machine library was constructed using the DNBelab C series high-throughput single-cell RNA library preparation kit.

[0077] (2) The prepared library was sequenced using the DIPSEQ T1 sequencing platform, and the final data results were obtained (Table 5).

[0078] Table 5: Sequencing data results

[0079]

[0080] The reagents and consumables used in this example are shown in Table 6.

[0081] Table 6: Reagents and consumables

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] Example 2

[0085] This example uses tomato leaf callus as the object and uses the method provided by the present invention to prepare tomato leaf callus protoplasts.

[0086] In this embodiment, two experimental groups were set up, each group had 4 young tomato leaves, which were cut into thin filaments by a blade for dissociation, and protoplasts were prepared using the same method as in Example 1. The components of the dissociation buffer used in the two experimental groups (the difference was the concentration of mannitol) were shown in Tables 7 and 8.

[0087] Table 7: Dissociation buffer composition for experimental group 1

[0088]

[0089]

[0090] Table 8: Dissociation buffer composition for experimental group 2

[0091] Reagent name Final concentration Mannitol 400mM Morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution 20mM Potassium chloride 20mM Calcium chloride 10mM Dithiothreitol 1mM BSA 0.1% antibiotic 1%

[0092] In experimental group 1, the total number of protoplasts was 114,000, the viability was 96.03%, and the aggregation rate was 5.56% ( Figure 2 In experimental group 2, the number of intact protoplasts was too small to be counted, and there were many broken protoplasts and cell contents in the field of view ( Figure 3 ).

[0093] It can be seen that the concentration of mannitol is crucial for the dissociation of protoplasts. Low concentrations of mannitol will cause cells to break, making it difficult to obtain sufficient and complete protoplasts. In addition, although high concentrations of mannitol will not break a large number of protoplasts, they will cause the protoplasts to lose water and shrink, making it difficult to maintain their original state, thus affecting the experimental results. Figure 4 The results of using high concentration of mannitol (800mM) to prepare soybean cotyledon protoplasts showed that in addition to regular round protoplasts, there were also some irregular cells, which may be caused by high osmotic pressure and water loss.

[0094] Example 3

[0095] This example uses watermelon fruit callus as the object and uses the method provided by the present invention to prepare watermelon fruit callus protoplasts.

[0096] In this embodiment, two experimental groups were set up, each group had three young watermelon fruits, which were sliced ​​for dissociation, and protoplasts were prepared using the same method as in Example 1. The components of the dissociation buffer used in the two experimental groups (the difference was whether antibiotics were added) were shown in Tables 9 and 10.

[0097] Table 9: Dissociation buffer composition for experimental group 1

[0098] Reagent name Final concentration Mannitol 600mM Morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution 20mM Potassium chloride 20mM Calcium chloride 10mM Dithiothreitol 1mM BSA 0.1%

[0099] Table 10: Dissociation buffer composition for experimental group 2

[0100] Reagent name Final concentration Mannitol 600mM Morpholineethanesulfonic acid solution 20mM Potassium chloride 20mM Calcium chloride 10mM Dithiothreitol 1mM BSA 0.1% antibiotic 1%

[0101] In experimental group 1, the total number of protoplasts was 980,000, the viability was 82.4%, and the aggregation rate was 21% ( Figure 5 In experimental group 2, the total number of protoplasts was 755,000, the viability was 86.85%, and the aggregation rate was 15.96% ( Figure 6 ). It can be seen that the protoplast viability in experimental group 2 with antibiotics added was slightly higher and the agglomeration rate was slightly lower.

[0102] The prepared protoplasts were sequenced and the results are shown in Table 11. It can be seen that the data of experimental group 2 performed better, such as Mean UMIs / cell, Mean genes / cell, mapping rate to Genome, mapping rate to Exon, mapping rate to Inter and other indicators.
