Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical biological detection, and in particular to an RNA preservation solution for the spiny-breasted frog and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The spiny-breasted frog is an important and distinctive economic frog species in the mountainous areas of southern my country, with high value for breeding and medicinal purposes. High-quality RNA samples are required for molecular biological research on it, such as gene expression analysis, pathogen detection, and genetic resource assessment. However, spiny-breasted frog samples are often collected from wild stream environments, and the RNA in its tissues (especially tissues rich in fat) is easily degraded by endogenous ribonucleases after being removed from the body. Moreover, temperature fluctuations during long-distance transportation will exacerbate this process.
[0003] In existing technologies, common methods include direct freezing and immersion in organic solvents. While direct freezing can effectively inhibit enzyme activity, it requires stringent low-temperature conditions at the field sampling site, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can easily lead to RNA breakage. Meanwhile, acidic phenol-guanidine isothiocyanate solutions, represented by organic solvents, can rapidly lyse cells and inhibit RNase, but their strong corrosiveness, toxicity, and the subsequent phase separation operation make them unsuitable for in-situ fixation or long-term storage scenarios that require maintaining tissue integrity, and they are also incompatible with subsequent multi-omics analysis. In addition, existing technologies mostly focus on the stability of the single RNA component, neglecting the potential value of simultaneously preserving multi-omics information such as proteins and metabolites in the collection of rare samples.
[0004] Therefore, based on the relevant technologies mentioned above, there is an urgent need to develop an RNA preservation solution for spiny-breasted frogs and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide an RNA preservation solution for spiny-breasted frogs and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems of harsh field sampling conditions, high toxicity of preservation reagents, and easy damage to sample integrity in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an RNA preservation solution for spiny-breasted frogs and a method for preparing the same.
[0007] A RNA preservation solution for the spiny-breasted frog comprises the following components in parts by weight: 0.1-0.2 parts modified nano-white clay, 22-23 parts biomimetic liposome dispersion, 28-32 parts citrate-phosphate buffer, 4-6 parts ammonium sulfate, 0.4-0.6 parts disodium EDTA, 0.2-0.4 parts sodium ascorbate, 8-12 parts sucrose, 8-12 parts poloxamer 407, 0.8-1.2 parts extract powder of peptide fragments from enzymatic hydrolysis byproducts of spiny-breasted frog oil, and 0.0008-0.0012 parts proteinase K inhibitor; The modified nano clay is an aminosilane coupling agent modified nano clay. The biomimetic liposome dispersion was prepared from soybean phosphatidylcholine, refined spiny-breasted frog oil, cholesterol, α-tocopherol and citrate-phosphate buffer. The citrate-phosphate buffer solution has a concentration of 1 mol / L and a pH of 6.9.
[0008] Preferably, the preparation steps of the modified nano-clay are as follows: Step A1: Add activated clay, anhydrous ethanol and zirconium oxide grinding balls into a ball mill, heat to 20-30℃, rotate at 300-400 rpm, stir for 3-5 hours, and after ball milling, let stand for 20-40 minutes to obtain slurry; Step A2: Add 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to a mixed solvent of ethanol and deionized water, stir at 200-300 rpm for 10-20 min to obtain a silane solution; Step A3: Add the silane solution to the slurry, heat to 65-75℃, stir at 200-300 rpm for 5-7 hours until the reaction is complete, centrifuge and wash, ultrasonically disperse, and dry to obtain modified clay.
[0009] By using wet ball milling to nano-size activated clay, its specific surface area is significantly increased, enabling it to more efficiently adsorb trace amounts of heavy metal ions, polar impurities, and oxidation products in samples. At the same time, amino functional groups are introduced into the surface of the nano-clay through aminosilane, which can significantly improve its dispersion stability in polar buffer systems and enhance its compatibility with biomolecules such as RNA and proteins, avoiding non-specific adsorption of target molecules. In addition, by using aqueous phase modification at 65-75℃, the damage to the material structure caused by high temperature can be avoided.
[0010] Preferably, the mass ratio of activated clay, anhydrous ethanol, and zirconium oxide grinding balls in step A1 is 1:2.8-3.2:7.8-8.2; The ratio of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to the mixed solvent in step A2 is 0.056-0.058 g: 1 mL; The volume ratio of ethanol to deionized water in step A2 is 9:1; The mass ratio of the silane solution to the slurry in step A3 is 0.16-0.18:1.
[0011] Preferably, the preparation steps of the biomimetic liposome dispersion are as follows: Step B1: Add soybean phosphatidylcholine, refined spiny frog oil, cholesterol and α-tocopherol to anhydrous ethanol, heat to 40-60℃, stir at 150-250 rpm for 15-25 minutes, and after stirring is complete, obtain an organic phase solution. Step B2: Add the organic phase solution to the citrate-phosphate buffer solution, heat to 40-60℃, rotate at 400-600 rpm, emulsify for 50-70 min, after the reaction is complete, cool to 4-10℃, sonicate at 150-250W for 4-6 min, after sonication, let stand and cool for 10-20 min to obtain the biomimetic liposome dispersion.
[0012] By constructing biomimetic lipid nanovesicles with soybean phosphatidylcholine as the backbone, integrating cholesterol, unsaturated fatty acids (frog oil), and antioxidants (α-tocopherol) from the spiny-breasted frog, and using this structure to mimic the cell membrane, the nanovesicles can rapidly interact with the tissue cell membrane after sample immersion, while stabilizing the cell structure and effectively preventing intracellular RNA leakage and degradation due to cell damage in the early stage of sampling, thus achieving "in-situ fixation". In addition, by encapsulating frog oil and vitamin E in a lipid bilayer, they can exert their antioxidant and membrane regulation biological functions, while avoiding their direct oxidation and inactivation in the aqueous phase.
[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of soybean phosphatidylcholine, refined spiny-breasted frog oil, cholesterol, α-tocopherol and anhydrous ethanol in step B1 is 1:0.35-0.45:0.08-0.12:0.01-0.03:3.8-4.2. The mass ratio of the organic phase solution to the citrate-phosphate buffer solution in step B2 is 0.13-0.14:1.
[0014] Preferably, the preparation steps of the peptide extract powder from the enzymatic hydrolysis byproduct of spiny-breasted frog oil are as follows: Step C1: Place the lower aqueous phase byproduct of the enzymatic hydrolysis of spiny-breasted frog oil into a beaker, heat to 80-90℃ for 10-20 min, then cool to 20-30 min, rotate at 150-250 rpm, add 1.0 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution, adjust the pH to 4-5, stir for 20-40 min, after stirring is complete, centrifuge to obtain the supernatant; Step C2: Add the supernatant to a 10kDa molecular weight cutoff membrane, with a transmembrane pressure of 1.5-2.5 bar and a circulation flow rate of 0.8-1.2 L / min. Then add a 3kDa molecular weight cutoff membrane, with a transmembrane pressure of 1.5-2.5 bar and a circulation flow rate of 0.8-1.2 L / min. Repeat 3-4 times. After filtration, freeze-dry under vacuum to obtain the peptide extract powder of the enzymatic hydrolysis byproduct of spiny-breasted frog oil.
[0015] Through a multi-stage purification process combining heat treatment to inactivate residual enzymes, isoelectric point precipitation, and tangential flow ultrafiltration, oils, large molecular proteins, salts, and small molecular amino acids in the byproducts were effectively removed. The resulting peptide extract powder has high purity and good solubility, while avoiding interference from impurities in subsequent molecular experiments. In addition, the retained 3-10kDa peptides contain natural RNase inhibitory activity fragments, providing the preservation solution with a protective component derived from the sample itself and with excellent biocompatibility, thus realizing the full-chain resource utilization.
[0016] A method for preparing an RNA preservation solution for the spiny-breasted frog, the method being as follows: Step S1: Add ammonium sulfate, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, sodium ascorbate and sucrose to citrate-phosphate buffer, heat to 20-30℃, stir at 250-350 rpm for 35-45 minutes, and after stirring is complete, a mixed solution is obtained. Step S2: Add the biomimetic liposome dispersion to the mixture, heat to 20-30℃, stir at 250-350 rpm for 15-25 min, cool to 2-6℃, add poloxamer 407, reduce the speed to 100-200 rpm, stir for 12-14 h, and after stirring is complete, a transparent solution is obtained. Step S3: Add the peptide extract powder of the enzymatic hydrolysis byproduct of spiny-breasted frog oil and proteinase K inhibitor E-64 to a clear solution, heat to 20-30℃, stir at 150-250 rpm for 50-70 min, add modified nano clay, increase the speed to 8000-10000 rpm, homogenize for 3-5 min, reduce the speed to 150-250 rpm, stir for 8-12 min, and obtain the RNA preservation solution for spiny-breasted frog.
[0017] By following the scientific sequence of "first dissolving small molecule stabilizers, then integrating biomimetic structures, followed by adding active ingredients, and finally dispersing nanomaterials," the full dissolution of salts and antioxidants is ensured. The temperature-sensitive matrix poloxamer 407 is fully hydrated at low temperatures to form a homogeneous solution, and the active peptides and inhibitors are completely dissolved. This results in the uniform dispersion of nano-clay without agglomeration, ensuring that each functional component in the final product can fully exert its effect. At the same time, high-speed homogenization ensures that the nano-modified clay can be uniformly dispersed in viscous solution systems, preventing sedimentation and ensuring that the content of adsorption and purification components in each packaged product is consistent, thereby guaranteeing the uniformity and stability of product quality.
[0018] Preferably, the mass ratio of ammonium sulfate, disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate, sodium ascorbate, sucrose and citrate-phosphate buffer in step S1 is 1:0.08-0.12:0.05-0.07:1.8-2.2:1.8-2.2.
[0019] Preferably, the mass ratio of the biomimetic liposome dispersion / mixture to poloxamer 407 in step S2 is 0.87-0.89:1:0.37-0.39.
[0020] Preferably, in step S3, the mass ratio of the peptide extract powder of the spiny-breasted frog oil enzymatic hydrolysis byproduct, proteinase K inhibitor E-64, transparent solution and modified nano clay is 0.016-0.018:0.00001-0.00003:1:0.0016-0.0018.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention provides an RNA preservation solution for spiny-breasted frogs and its preparation method. The invention constructs a composite preservation system integrating biomimetic membrane stabilization, temperature-responsive release, endogenous enzyme inhibition, and impurity adsorption. It innovatively transforms spiny-breasted frog processing byproducts into key functional components, achieving an organic combination of preservation solution formulation design and green raw material recycling. Compared with existing technologies, this preservation solution provides excellent in-situ protection of spiny-breasted frog tissue RNA under non-ideal storage conditions, effectively maintaining its integrity. Simultaneously, this technology significantly reduces production costs and environmental burden, and possesses good compatibility for multi-omics analysis and ease of operation. It provides a stable and reliable sample preservation solution for resource conservation, genetic research, and functional component discovery for spiny-breasted frogs and other precious aquatic animals, and has broad prospects for industrial application.

[0055] Data Analysis: As can be seen from Tables 1-4, the RNA preservation solution for spiny-breasted frogs prepared in this invention has superior RNA integrity protection, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. In contrast, Comparative Example 1, lacking the addition of biomimetic liposome dispersion, showed a significant decrease in RNA yield, purity, and integrity (RIN value). Degradation was exacerbated, especially under fluctuating temperature conditions. The fundamental reason for this is the lack of lipid nanostructures that can mimic cell membranes, which prevents the formation of "in-situ fixation" upon contact with tissues, leading to early damage to cell structures and RNA leakage. Furthermore, the absence of the physical barrier of the lipid bilayer makes it easier for endogenous RNases to contact and degrade RNA. In addition, the lack of an antioxidant microenvironment composed of spiny-breasted frog oil and α-tocopherol weakens the overall resistance of the system to oxidative stress, thus affecting the stable preservation of RNA in multiple ways. Comparative Example 2 used only unmodified activated clay, which resulted in a decrease in RNA extraction purity (A260 / A230) and an increase in system peroxide value. The direct cause was that the unmodified clay had a small specific surface area and a lack of surface functional groups, resulting in a weak adsorption capacity for impurities such as salts and organic acids in the RNA extract. At the same time, it had poor dispersibility and was prone to aggregation in polar buffer systems, causing uneven component distribution. In addition, due to the lack of metal ion chelation and free radical scavenging ability after aminosilane modification, the secondary protection mechanism for antioxidant properties of the system was missing, which together affected the RNA purity and the chemical stability of the preservation solution. Comparative Example 3, without the addition of poloxamer 407, resulted in a significant decrease in RNA integrity (RIN value) and a significant increase in the system's acid value. The core reason for this was the lack of encapsulation and stabilization by the thermosensitive polymer gel network, which led to uneven distribution, easy sedimentation, or inactivation of functional components such as biomimetic liposomes and active peptides in the solution. At the same time, under temperature change conditions, the system could not achieve controlled and sustained release of components, reducing the durability and consistency of the protective effect. In addition, the absence of poloxamer 407 also caused the preservation solution to lose its role as a physical stabilizer in maintaining the overall viscosity and microstructure, thereby accelerating component degradation and rancidity.
[0056] Comparative Example 4, which did not include the extract powder of peptide fragments from the enzymatic hydrolysis byproducts of spiny-breasted frog oil, resulted in a decrease in both RNA yield and RIN value. The main reason for this was the lack of a natural RNase-inhibiting peptide derived from the sample itself, leading to insufficient biospecific inhibition of endogenous RNases. At the same time, the absence of this peptide, a biocompatible active ingredient, also weakened the biocompatibility between the preservation solution and the tissue, affecting the penetration and retention of the protective components. Furthermore, the membrane stabilizing auxiliary function that the peptide might possess could not be exerted, thus reducing the RNA protection effect at both the enzyme inhibition and structural synergistic levels.
[0057] Comparative Example 5 used a commercially available general-purpose RNA preservation solution. Although its various indicators were better than those of the aforementioned comparative examples, they were still significantly lower than those of the embodiments of this invention. The fundamental reason for this is that the commercially available products were designed for broad applicability without being specifically tailored to the tissue characteristics of the spiny-breasted frog. This resulted in a lack of in-situ stabilization ability of the biomimetic lipid membrane for high-lipid tissues. In addition, its formulation did not contain species-derived functional peptides and modified nano-adsorbent materials, making it impossible to achieve biologically specific inhibition and targeted removal of impurities. Furthermore, the commercially available solutions have not been integrated and optimized in terms of temperature-sensitive drug loading and multi-omics compatibility. Therefore, their protective efficacy has a clear upper limit when facing complex samples and fluctuating environments.
[0058] Example 13: The introduction of guanidine hydrochloride and L-cysteine resulted in a triple-strength defense of chemical denaturation, enzyme activity inhibition and antioxidant complexation. At the same time, the addition of potassium sorbate provided antibacterial protection and ensured the activity of the components under field conditions. In addition, the addition of glycerol further stabilized the osmotic pressure and membrane structure at low temperature. Therefore, its RNA integrity, chemical stability and biocompatibility all reached their peak.
