Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of plant biotechnology, and particularly to a method for extracting Artemisia annua protoplasts and introducing foreign genes into the same. Background Art

[0002] Artemisia annua Linn, belonging to the genus Artemisia of the Compositae family, is an annual herbaceous plant and is the original plant of the traditional Chinese medicine Artemisia annua. Glandular hairs are distributed on both the front and back of its leaves, and artemisinin rich in the glandular hairs is a specific medicine for treating malaria. Wild Artemisia annua is suitable for growing in warm and sunny areas, and is intolerant to waterlogging. It is more suitable to grow in slightly acidic soil and is widely distributed in China.

[0003] In the traditional genetic transformation system of Artemisia annua, it is necessary to first cultivate sterile seedlings of Artemisia annua on MS medium, and then infect the injured leaves with the agrobacterium liquid of the gene to be transformed. The operation is rather difficult. As the injured leaves grow and develop continuously on the medium containing antibiotics and hormones, they will gradually go through the processes of callus, bud, and small seedling. The whole process takes about 2 months, and the cycle is long. In addition, the small seedlings need to be transplanted into the soil to grow for a period of time before positive plants can be identified. Usually, the positive rate is about 20%, which severely limits the processes such as the verification and analysis of the gene function of Artemisia annua.

[0004] Protoplasts refer to the parts of plant, bacterial, and fungal cells from which the cell walls have been removed, only retaining the cell membrane and the internal cytoplasm, nucleus, and various cell organelles. Protoplasts have a wide range of applications in biological research and biotechnology, such as genetic engineering, cell fusion, and plant tissue culture. At present, stable extraction methods and transformation models have been established for plant protoplasts in model plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana, tomato, and tobacco, which can, to a certain extent, help researchers rapidly propagate plants in large quantities, cultivate hybrid crops, and study molecular marker techniques.

[0005] Artemisia annua contains precious secondary metabolites. By extracting its protoplasts, researchers can increase the yield of secondary metabolites, and even change its metabolic pathway through genetic modification to produce new compounds, which can not only promote the development of medicinal plants but also drive drug research and development.

[0035] For a more specific understanding of the technical content, features and effects of the present invention, the technical content of the present invention will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] The enzyme products used in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention were purchased from Shanghai Bioshine Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and the compounds were purchased from Shanghai Macklin Biochemical Co., Ltd. The formulations of W5, MMG, PEG, and WI solutions are as follows:

[0037] Formulation of W5 solution (resuspension solution): 1 mM MES (2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid), 100 mM sodium chloride, 50 mM calcium chloride, 2 mM potassium chloride, pH = 6.0.

[0038] Formulation of MMG solution (resuspension solution): 2 mM MES, 0.1 M mannitol, 10 mM magnesium chloride, pH = 6.0.

[0039] Formulation of PEG (polyethylene glycol) transformation solution: 35 wt% PEG4000, 0.1 M mannitol, 200 mM calcium chloride, pH = 6.0;

[0040] WI solution (culture medium) formula: 0.3 M mannitol, 2 mM MES, 20 mM potassium chloride, pH = 6.0.

[0041] The concentration of each component in the above formula is the final concentration of the component in the solution.

[0042] Example 1 Isolation and extraction of Artemisia annua leaf protoplasts

[0043] The method for isolating and extracting protoplasts from Artemisia annua leaves in this example is as follows:

[0044] I. Preparation of enzymatic hydrolysis solution

[0045] The enzymatic hydrolysis solution system for Artemisia annua leaves includes (final concentration): 3 wt% cellulase, 1.5 wt% pectinase, 0.2 wt% macerozyme, 0.4 M mannitol solution, 0.2 wt% BSA (bovine serum albumin), 10 mM MES solution, 15 mM CaCl2 solution, 15 mM KCl solution, pH = 5.8. Among them, cellulase is derived from Trichoderma viride and can decompose cellulose in the plant cell wall; pectinase is derived from Aspergillus niger and can decompose pectin, thus effectively loosening the cell wall structure and enabling protoplasts to be released from cells; macerozyme is derived from Rhizopus and has high pectinase and hemicellulase activities. During the lysis of Artemisia annua leaves, adding an appropriate proportion of macerozyme to the enzymatic hydrolysis solution can enhance the lysis effect of the cell wall.

[0046] When preparing, first treat the MES solution at 65 °C for 3 min, then add the reagents in the above enzymatic hydrolysis solution system except for CaCl2 and BSA, and inactivate the residual protease and DNase in the reagent by water bath at 55 °C for 10 min. After the solution is cooled to room temperature, add CaCl2 and BSA and shake to dissolve to obtain the enzymatic hydrolysis solution for Artemisia annua leaves.

[0047] II. Enzymatic hydrolysis

[0048] Select authentic Artemisia annua plants grown in Youyang, Chongqing. Select 20 leaves of mature Artemisia annua plants (both young and old leaves are acceptable) that have grown vigorously for 3 - 5 months, cut the leaves crosswise into thin strips about 2 mm with a blade, fully immerse them in the enzymatic hydrolysis solution, and then place the above solution in a vacuum machine and perform vacuum treatment for half an hour to make the enzymatic hydrolysis solution better penetrate into the tissue through the incision; then enzymatically hydrolyze at room temperature in a horizontal shaker (40 rpm) in the dark for 3 h. At this time, the solution turns dark green and is in a suspension state.

[0049] III. Protoplast separation and inspection

[0050] Add an equal volume of W5 solution to the suspension obtained from the second step of enzymatic hydrolysis to wash it, and pass it through a 100μm cell sieve to remove the leaves that are not completely hydrolyzed. Filter to obtain suspended protoplasts. Take 5μL of the solution and observe it under a microscope. Figure 1 As shown, normal protoplasts appear round and translucent, with a diameter of 8-60 μm.

[0051] 4. Resuspend

[0052] The protoplast suspension obtained in the third step was centrifuged at 100 g for 1 min, the protoplasts were resuspended at the bottom, and the supernatant was removed by aspiration. The protoplasts were resuspended in 2 mL of W5 solution and placed on ice for 10 min to allow the protoplasts to settle. The supernatant was removed again and the protoplasts were resuspended in 2 mL of MMG solution to obtain a pure protoplast suspension.

[0053] Example 2 Transient transformation of protoplasts and PCR verification

[0054] In this example, the protoplasts extracted in Example 1 were transformed with a DNA-PEG-Ca transformation method, and then PCR was used to detect whether the target gene was introduced into the protoplasts.

[0055] 1. Transient transformation of Artemisia annua leaf protoplasts

[0056] (1) PHB-YFP-AtMYB5 vector construction process

[0057] First, the single fragment recombination cloning kit (BR1398247, ), the exogenous gene AtMYB5 (sequence can be found on the TAIR website https: / / www.arabidopsis.org / results?mainType=gene&searchText=MYB5&category=genes) was constructed into the PHB-YFP linearized vector (linearized control vector), and the reaction system is shown in Table 1 (the recombination buffer, linearized vector, and recombinase in Table 1 are all reagents in the single-fragment recombination cloning kit):

[0058] Table 1 PHB-YFP-AtMYB5 vector construction reaction system

[0060] Prepare the reaction system in Table 1 above in a PCR tube, gently mix it with a pipette, and after a short centrifugation, collect the reaction solution at the bottom of the tube. React at 50 °C for 30 min, cool it immediately to 4 °C and place it on ice to obtain the PHB-YFP-AtMYB5 vector plasmid solution.

[0061] (2) Transformation

[0062] Mix the PHB-YFP-AtMYB5 plasmid solution to be transformed carrying the exogenous gene AtMYB5 obtained in the above step (1), the Artemisia annua leaf protoplast suspension resuspended in Example 1, and the PEG transformation solution in a ratio of 10 μg: 100 μL: 100 μL, and place it at room temperature for 5 min to complete the transformation step.

[0063] II. Protoplast verification

[0064] Add 2 volumes of W5 solution to the transformation solution obtained in the first step above, gently invert and mix to terminate the transformation reaction, centrifuge at 100 g for 1 min, remove the supernatant, add 1 mL of WI solution to the precipitate to resuspend the protoplasts, and culture them in the dark at room temperature on a horizontal shaker at 40 rpm for 12 h to complete the protoplast culture.

[0065] Centrifuge the above protoplasts at 100 g for 1 min, remove the supernatant; add 1 mL of W5 solution and wash twice, remove the supernatant to obtain a protoplast enrichment.

[0066] Use the tissue / cell direct amplification PCR lysis solution independently developed by the applicant (product number BR1338967, containing reagent A and reagent B, ) to collect the DNA of the protoplasts. The operation steps are as follows: Add 80 μL of reagent A in the tissue / cell direct amplification PCR lysis solution (the name in the product instruction manual of the tissue / cell direct amplification PCR lysis solution) to the above protoplast enrichment, and pipette and mix well; transfer the liquid to a PCR tube, place it in a PCR instrument, incubate at 55 °C for 5 min, and incubate at 95 °C for 2 min; take it out, add 20 μL of reagent B in the tissue / cell direct amplification PCR lysis solution (the name in the product instruction manual of the tissue / cell direct amplification PCR lysis solution) to the above solution, and pipette and mix well to obtain a lysis product, that is, the DNA of the transformed protoplasts. Take 3 μL of the lysis product for subsequent PCR amplification. The PCR amplification method is as follows:

[0067] (1) Design primers

[0068] First, import the constructed PHB-YFP-AtMYB5 vector sequence into the Snapgene software. According to the primer design principle, for the upstream primer, select the PHB-YFP vector primer plus the AtMYB5 gene primer, and for the downstream primer, select the PHB-YFP vector primer.

After complete dissolution by microwave heating, pour it into a gel casting mold and let it solidify at room temperature. Add nucleic acid dye to the above PCR amplification products, load the samples for electrophoresis, and the electrophoresis conditions are: 120 V for 15 min. After electrophoresis, observe with a gel imaging system. The size of the target fragment band is 800 bp, and an obvious band can be seen at the 800 bp position (as Figure 2 shown), proving successful plasmid transformation.

[0079] Example 3 Effect of adding different concentrations of macerozyme on the extraction effect of Artemisia annua protoplasts

[0080] The method for isolating and extracting protoplasts from Artemisia annua leaves in this example is the same as that in Example 1. The difference from Example 1 is that in the enzyme digestion solution system of Artemisia annua leaves in this example, the concentrations of macerozyme are 0 (the extraction results are shown in Figure 3a), 0.4 wt% (The extraction results are shown in Figure 3 c), 1 wt% (The extraction results are shown in Figure 3 d). The other components in the enzymatic hydrolysate system are the same as those in Example 1.

[0081] For the extraction results of Artemisia annua protoplasts, see Figure 3 . For convenient comparison, the extraction results of Example 1 ( Figure 1 ) are also placed in Figure 3 as Figure 3 b. It can be seen from the same field of view in the Figure 3 photo that the number of protoplasts obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysis system of Example 1 ( Figure 3 b) is the largest, and at the same time, the protoplasts maintain good morphological characteristics. After counting by the hemocytometer method, the number of protoplasts that can be obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysis system of Example 1 is 10 7 / g, and the number of protoplasts obtained from the enzymatic hydrolysis system without adding macerozyme is 10 6 / g, showing a 10-fold difference in quantity. When the content of macerozyme is increased, due to the excessive addition of the enzyme, the cell wall is hydrolyzed excessively, and there is a risk of damaging the exposed cell membrane. It can be clearly seen from Figure 3 c, 3d that there is a phenomenon of protoplast rupture and the quantity decreases sharply.

[0082] The extracted protoplasts were stained with trypan blue staining reagent, and no or slightly visible cells were stained blue, indicating that most cells with intact structures were living cells. It was calculated that the cell survival rate reached 95%-100%.

[0083] From the results of this example, it can be seen that although living cells can be obtained without adding macerozyme in the enzymatic hydrolysate system, there are certain limitations in the degree of complete lysis. Adding 0.2 wt% macerozyme can better degrade the pectin substances in the cell wall. By targeting the hydrolysis of the α-1,4-glycosidic bond in pectin, the intercellular connection is destroyed, enabling the cells to separate from each other, and thus making the original tissue more fully enzymatically hydrolyzed.

[0084] Effect of the concentration of the osmotic pressure regulator mannitol in the enzymatic hydrolysate system of Example 4 on the extraction quantity of Artemisia annua protoplasts

[0085] The method for separating and extracting protoplasts from Artemisia annua leaves in this example is the same as that in Example 1. Different from Example 1, the concentrations of mannitol in the enzymatic hydrolysate system of Artemisia annua leaves in this example are 0.2 M, 0.6 M, and 0.8 M respectively, and the other components in the enzymatic hydrolysate system are the same as those in Example 1. For the extraction results of Artemisia annua protoplasts and the comparison with the extraction results of Example 1 (mannitol concentration is 0.4 M), see Table 4.

[0086] Table 4 Quantity of Artemisia annua protoplasts extracted with enzymatic hydrolysates containing different concentrations of mannitol

[0087] Mannitol Concentration Number of Protoplasts Obtained Osmotic Pressure 0.2M <![CDATA[10 5 / g]]> 200 mOsm / L 0.4M <![CDATA[10 7 / g]]> 400 mOsm / L 0.6M <![CDATA[10 6 / g]]> 600 mOsm / L 0.8M <![CDATA[2×10 5 / g]]> 800 mOsm / L

[0088] As can be seen from the results in Table 4, too high a concentration of mannitol causes the protoplasts of Artemisia annua to dehydrate and shrink, making it difficult to achieve normal physiological functions and reducing the quantity obtained by extraction; too low a concentration of mannitol causes the protoplasts to absorb water and swell, resulting in rupture, which also reduces the quantity obtained by extraction. During the extraction process of Artemisia annua protoplasts, the optimal mannitol concentration is 0.4 M, and the osmotic pressure is about 400 mOsm / L. At this time, the obtained protoplasts are round and plump in shape and have a normal physiological state.
