Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a method for efficiently extracting RNA from mineralized tissues applicable across animal phyla. Background Art

[0002] The skeleton of vertebrates is an endoskeleton, primarily composed of hydroxyapatite and collagen. It is widespread throughout the body, possesses a complex cellular structure (e.g., osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts), and can continuously reshape and repair itself under hormonal regulation. In contrast, the shells of invertebrates are mostly extracorporeal structures composed of calcium carbonate or chitin. Traditionally, they were thought to lack cellular involvement, primarily forming through exocrine processes. Their mineralized tissues are often viewed as static, inert, and inert, often referred to as "stone."

[0003] This research team has, for the first time, identified a population of potentially functional living cells within the mineralized shell of an invertebrate. Based on this, they successfully extracted total RNA from the mineralized shell for the first time. This not only challenges the conventional assumption that mineralized tissues are "acellular," but also lays the foundation for further investigation into the formation of invertebrate skeletons and their evolutionary relationship with vertebrate bone tissue.

[0004] As a crucial carrier of genetic information, RNA plays a central role in gene expression regulation. Its high-quality extraction is a crucial foundation for molecular biology research. Currently, RNA extraction techniques are divided into two main categories: chemical lysis-organic phase separation (such as the classic TRIzol method) and silica-membrane column purification (such as various commercial kits). During sample pretreatment, for mammalian cells or soft tissue samples, researchers typically use methods such as liquid nitrogen grinding, mechanical homogenization, or proteinase K digestion to achieve complete cell lysis and release of RNA. For cultured cells, the cell and nuclear membranes can be dissolved by directly adding lysis buffer. These established methods are highly applicable in studies of vertebrate tissues (such as liver and muscle) or cell lines.

[0005] However, although existing RNA extraction technologies are quite mature, these conventional methods have obvious limitations when it comes to extracting RNA from invertebrate shells: first, the chitin and calcified matrix rich in invertebrate exoskeletons form a dense barrier, making it difficult for conventional lysis solutions to effectively penetrate, resulting in incomplete release of cellular contents; second, although ultrasonic grinding is a commonly used tissue lysis method, when applied to samples of mineralized tissue, long-term ultrasonic treatment can easily cause RNA breakage and severe fragmentation; in addition, the polysaccharide-protein complexes commonly found in arthropod shells / exoskeletons will form insoluble colloidal precipitates in the TRIzol method, interfering with the phase separation process, and will clog the silica membrane in the column method, significantly reducing RNA binding efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently extracting RNA from mineralized tissues that is applicable across animal phyla, has simple operation, high extraction efficiency, good RNA stability and high quality.

The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 4 (exist Figure 4 In the figure, lane a is the shell of sea bean sprout; lane 1 in figure b is MARKER; lanes 2-4 in figure b respectively represent the electrophoresis diagrams of RNA extracted from three sea bean sprout shells); the sample in lane 2 was then used with the Novogene RNA library preparation kit, and the library quality was tested using Aginent 2100.

The shell is made into a powder sample at an operating temperature below -80°C (the particle size of the powder sample is about 100 μm); The powder samples were then processed according to steps (3) to (12) in Example 1, and the four RNA samples obtained were subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis. The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 6 (exist Figure 6 In the figure, Figure a shows the shell of the centipede; lanes 1-4 in Figure b represent the electrophoresis diagrams of RNA extracted from four samples, and lane 5 in Figure b represents MARKER); the sample in lane 1 was then used with the Novogene RNA library preparation kit, and the library quality was tested using Aginent 2100.

[0036] Example 5 Research object - the effect of powders with different particle sizes on RNA extraction results (1) Three one-year-old scallops were taken, the soft tissue in the shells was removed, and the shells were completely immersed in mineralized tissue treatment solution for 2 minutes to achieve rapid shell processing. The shells were then carefully rinsed with deionized water to further clean the shell surface to obtain shells without soft tissue. After the water on the shell surface was wiped dry, the shells were placed in a low-temperature environment of -150 °C for quick freezing to obtain the processed scallop shells. (2) Take about 2 g of the scallop shells processed in step (1), crush them, and grind them using a pre-cooled medium-throughput tissue grinder at a speed of 1000 r / min for 1-2 min. Make the shells into powder samples at -80°C, observe the crushing of the sample in the middle, take out a part when the powder size is about 500 μm, take out another part when the size is about 100 μm, and take out all the powder when the powder size is less than 90 μm; That is, each sample will produce three powder samples with different particle sizes. The powder samples are processed according to steps (3) to (12) in Example 1, and the RNA concentration of the obtained RNA samples is tested. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0037] Table 1 RNA concentration results of powders with different particle sizes

[0038] Combining the data in Table 1, we can see that when the powder particle diameter is too large (≈500μm) or too small (<90μm), the amount of RNA extracted is lower than when the powder particle diameter is 100μm. Therefore, a powder size of 100μm is most suitable for extracting RNA from mineralized tissue.
