The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a few embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments that can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein are within the scope of the present invention.
Currently, commercial solid supports for in situ synthesis of nucleic acids are composed of three main components: (1) solid phase substrate material porous glass; (2) a cleavable linker with a hydroxyl protecting group (which can be a monomer with a hydroxyl protecting group or other general structural supports, etc.) used for the synthesis of the nucleic acid initiation step; (3) and (3) a linker (such as succinic anhydride and the like) for connecting the solid-phase substrate and the cleavable linker. The current commercial solid phase carrier mainly uses a porous glass substrate, and is influenced by the adsorption effect of the porous glass on nucleic acid, and the in-situ synthesis of nucleic acid in the prior art has the defects of the reduction of the nucleic acid synthesis capability (including the purity and the synthesis efficiency of nucleic acid synthesis) of the longer nucleic acid synthesis chain.
Thus, according to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of preparing a solid support for in situ synthesis of a nucleic acid, wherein the method comprises:
(1) carrying out first amination treatment on the solid phase substrate by using a first amination modification reagent to obtain a first aminated solid phase substrate;
(2) modifying the first aminated solid phase substrate with a linker modification reagent to obtain a grafted solid phase substrate;
(3) carrying out second amination treatment on the grafted solid phase substrate by using a second amination modification reagent to obtain a second aminated solid phase substrate; and
(4) and connecting the cleavable linker with the protecting group to the second aminated solid-phase substrate to obtain the solid-phase carrier.
In a specific embodiment, a method for preparing a solid support for in situ synthesis of nucleic acids comprises:
(1) performing amination modification on the solid phase substrate by using an amination modification reagent to prepare an aminated solid phase substrate material, wherein the preparation route is shown as step S1 in FIG. 1;
(2) carrying out long-chain grafting modification on the aminated solid-phase substrate material, and utilizing a modification reagent with carboxyl at the tail end to realize the long-chain grafting of the aminated solid-phase substrate material through intermolecular dehydration condensation reaction, wherein the preparation route is shown as step S2 in figure 1;
(3) performing active primary amination treatment on the modified carrier, so as to change bromine on the long-chain grafting reagent into amino through primary amination reaction, wherein the preparation route is shown as step S3 in FIG. 1; and
(4) the cleavable linker with the protecting group is attached to the grafted solid support, and the preparation route is shown as step S4 in fig. 1.
In one embodiment, the solid phase substrate may be in the form of a sheet or a microsphere, preferably, the solid phase substrate is in the form of a porous microsphere.
In one embodiment, the solid phase substrate can be a silicon substrate or microsphere such as glass, quartz, ceramic, or polystyrene substrate or microsphere, or magnetic Fe3O4The substrate or the microsphere of (1), but the solid phase substrate is not limited thereto, and a solid phase substrate whose surface can be aminated can be used in the present invention.
In the invention, the amination modifying reagent is mainly used for amination treatment on the surface of the solid phase substrate so as to be used for further long-chain grafting. The first amination treatment with the first amination reagent is mainly used to functionalize the surface activity of the solid phase substrate so that it can react with the carboxyl group of the long-chain grafting reagent in the next step.
In one embodiment, the first amination modifying agent includes, but is not limited to, one or more of an amino group-containing silane coupling agent, chitosan, polyethyleneimine, polylysine, and like polyamino compounds. The source of the first amination reagent is not particularly limited in the present invention, and any commercially available product known to those skilled in the art to be useful for amination modification can be used in the present invention.
In one embodiment, the concentration of the first amination modifying agent required per unit area of solid phase substrate is 0.1% to 30%, preferably 1% to 10%, in an alcoholic solvent such as ethanol, methanol, and the like. When the concentration of the first amination modifying reagent is lower than 1%, the obtained first amination solid phase substrate has insufficient amino density modification, and the load capacity of the product is reduced; when the concentration of the first amination modifying reagent is higher than 10%, the amino density of the obtained first amination solid phase substrate is too high, so that the steric hindrance effect and the electronic effect of the surface are increased, the purity of the product is reduced, and the synthesis efficiency is reduced.
In one embodiment, the solid substrate is in the form of a sheet, preferably, the concentration of the first amination modifying reagent required per unit area of the solid substrate is 0.1% to 30%, preferably 1% to 10%, in an alcoholic solvent such as ethanol, methanol and the like.
In one embodiment, the solid substrate is in the form of microspheres, preferably having a diameter of from 1 μm to 1000 μm, preferably from 50 μm to 150 μm. When the microsphere particles are too small, the uniformity of the microspheres is not facilitated, and the efficiency of synthesizing products is reduced; when the size of the microspheroidal particle is too large, exchange of the reaction reagent is not facilitated, and the efficiency of synthesizing the product is reduced.
In one embodiment, the solid substrate is a porous microsphere having a pore size of
Preferably, it is
When the pore diameter of the porous micro-beads is too small, the synthesis of long-chain nucleic acid is not facilitated; when the pore size is too large, it is not favorable to increase the specific surface area of the porous microbead, which also results in a decrease in the loading amount of nucleic acid.
After the first amination treatment of the solid phase substrate, a further long chain grafting treatment is performed using a long chain modification reagent as a linker modification reagent. In one embodiment, the linker modifying agent has a structure represented by the following formula (1):
wherein R is1Is a carboxyl group (-COOH), R2Is amino (-NH)2) Or halogen (-Cl, -Br, -I, etc.), in addition to R1And R2The number of carbon atoms between n is more than or equal to 6. The source of the linker-modifying agent in the present invention is not particularly limited, and commercially available products having the above-mentioned structure, which are well known to those skilled in the art, can be used in the present invention.
In one embodiment, the amount of linker-modifying reagent used in the present invention is in the range of 100. mu. mol/g to 100mmol/g, preferably 500. mu. mol/g to 5mmol/g, relative to the mass of the microspheroidal solid phase substrate, wherein "g" refers to the mass of the solid phase substrate; for a sheet-like solid substrate, the amount of linker modifying reagent required per unit slide surface area is 10. mu. mol to 10mmol, preferably 50. mu. mol to 5mmol, where "unit slide area" refers to the surface area of a standard glass slide (25 mm. times.75 mm). When the amount of the linker-modifying agent is less than this range, the surface modification efficiency is not high, resulting in too low a loading amount of nucleic acid; when the amount of the linker-modifying agent is higher than this range, the surface nucleic acid-synthesizing ability is reduced and the product purity is lowered.
The invention uses the long-chain modifying reagent as the joint modifying reagent to carry out long-chain grafting on the surface of the solid phase substrate, thereby reducing the intermolecular electronic interference effect on the surface of the solid phase substrate material and reducing the steric hindrance effect of chemical reaction, thereby improving the purity and the synthesis efficiency of nucleic acid products. In addition, the nucleic acid synthesis effect superior to that of the commercial CPG carrier can be obtained by optimizing the amount of the reagent.
After the surface of the solid phase substrate is further subjected to a long chain grafting treatment, it is subjected to a second amination treatment using a second amination reagent, resulting in a second aminated solid phase substrate.
In one embodiment, the second amination is a primary amination, and in the present invention, the primary amination is performed by methods including, but not limited to, ammonolysis, Gabriel synthesis, or azide treatment, preferably ammonolysis, which is simple to operate and can be performed in one step.
In one embodiment, the second amination modifying reagent can be concentrated ammonia, wherein the concentration of concentrated ammonia is 25% to 28%. The source of the second amination reagent is not particularly limited in the present invention, and any commercially available product known to those skilled in the art to be useful for amination modification can be used in the present invention.
In the present invention, after the above-mentioned modification of the first amination, long-chain grafting, second amination is performed on the solid-phase carrier to obtain a second aminated solid-phase substrate, and then a cleavable linker is supported on the second aminated solid-phase substrate, in this step, the cleavable linker is supported on the second aminated solid-phase substrate by the reaction of the amino group obtained by the second amination and the carboxyl group of the cleavable linker, and then the resultant product is used as an origin compound of the nucleic acid synthesis reaction for the initiation step of nucleic acid synthesis, and the cleavable linker is cleavable under conditions of heating or alkali or the like, thereby making it possible to cleave the synthesized nucleic acid from the above-mentioned linker-modified carrier.
In one embodiment, the cleavable linker has a structure represented by the following formula (2):
wherein R is3Represents a base, and a nucleic acid base such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil or the like can be used, and the above nucleic acid base may protect an amino group by a protective group such as an acetyl group, an isobutyryl group, a benzoyl group or the like; r4There may be used a hydrogen atom, a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom such as a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom or the like, an alkoxy group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms such as a methoxy group or the like, a tert-butyl group, a di-substituted alkyl groupMethylsilyl and the like.
The cleavable linker as the starting compound for the nucleic acid synthesis reaction includes, but is not limited to, a nucleoside hydroxyl linker represented by the above formula (2), and nucleoside linkers to which various modification groups are bonded and common linkers that do not contain nucleosides can be used.
In one embodiment, the cleavable linker is loaded in an amount of 1 to 150. mu. mol/g, preferably 1 to 100. mu. mol/g, relative to the mass of the microspheroidal solid substrate, "g" referring to the mass of the solid substrate. When the loading amount of the cleavable linker is less than 1. mu. mol/g, the amount of nucleic acid that can be synthesized becomes small; when the loading amount of the cleavable linker exceeds 150. mu. mol/g, the synthesis ability of the nucleic acid does not show a difference compared to the solid support for nucleic acid synthesis which does not contain the long-chain organic support; relative to the sheet-shaped solid phase substrate, the number of the loaded molecules of the cleavable linker per unit area of the glass sheet is 104~1014Preferably 106~1012Here, the "unit slide area" refers to the surface area of a standard slide (25 mm. 75 mm). When the cleavable linker is loaded at less than 104At that time, the amount of nucleic acid that can be synthesized becomes small; when the loading of the cleavable linker exceeds 1012At all times, the ability of nucleic acid synthesis does not show a difference from that of a solid support for nucleic acid synthesis which does not contain a long-chain organic carrier
In the present invention, in the step (4), the cleavable linker may be supported on the solid-phase substrate by a dehydration condensation reaction, which is a reaction in which two or more organic molecules interact with each other in the presence of a condensing agent to covalently bond to form one macromolecule while water is lost.
In one embodiment, the solvent for carrying out the dehydration condensation reaction includes, but is not limited to, halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, aromatic solvents, aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents, nitrile solvents, and the like, and preferably aromatic solvents such as pyridine, which can function both as a solvent and a dehydrating agent to facilitate the condensation reaction of amino groups and carboxyl groups. Any inert solvent that can be used for the dehydration condensation reaction can be used in the present invention as long as the dehydration condensation reaction can be carried out, and the solvent for the dehydration condensation reaction is not limited in the present invention.
In one embodiment, the condensing agent includes one or more of Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), Diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC), N-ethyl-N' -3-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide or hydrochloride thereof (EDC. HC1), and the like, and Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) are preferable among them, and the catalytic reaction efficiency is high.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is also provided a solid support for in situ synthesis of nucleic acids prepared by the method of the second aspect of the present invention.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a nucleic acid chip comprising: the solid support of the second aspect of the invention.
The invention provides a preparation method of a solid phase carrier for in-situ synthesis of nucleic acid, which comprises the steps of respectively carrying out first amination treatment, long-chain modification and second amination treatment on a solid phase substrate to form a long-chain organic joint on the surface of the solid phase substrate, and then grafting a cleavable linker to form the solid phase carrier. In the present invention, on the one hand, the selection of the solid phase substrate is achieved by using the long-chain organic linker to link various solid phase substrates, thereby making it possible to efficiently select a suitable solid phase substrate, and thus to selectively optimize the efficiency of in situ synthesis of nucleic acid and the purity of nucleic acid product, and also to optimize further the efficiency of in situ synthesis of nucleic acid and the purity of nucleic acid by controlling the shape and pore size of the microspherical solid phase substrate; on the other hand, the long-chain organic linker of the solid phase substrate is optimized by selecting an amination reagent, a linker modification reagent and the like with appropriate concentration, so that the loading amount of the surface of the solid phase substrate is optimized, and the efficiency of in situ synthesis of nucleic acid and the purity of a nucleic acid product are further improved. Therefore, a set of reaction system capable of efficiently synthesizing nucleic acid in situ is obtained by the preparation method, so that the efficient synthesis of nucleic acid is realized.

b. 10mg of the CPG carrier prepared in the example 2 is taken and placed in a 2ml centrifuge tube, commercial TCA reagent is added into the CPG carrier and soaked for 2h for DMT removal treatment, soaking solution is collected and placed in a 15ml centrifuge tube, then acetonitrile is used for cleaning for 3 times, similarly, 3 times of cleaning solution is collected into a 15ml centrifuge tube filled with the soaking solution, 1% acetonitrile solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid is added into the centrifuge tube, and the volume is fixed to 5 ml.
c. Taking example 3Prepared magnetic beadsPutting 10mg in a 2ml centrifuge tube, adding a commercial TCA reagent into the centrifuge tube, soaking for 2h for DMT removal treatment, collecting soaking solution, putting the soaking solution in a 15ml centrifuge tube, then washing 3 times with acetonitrile, collecting 3 times of washing solution into the 15ml centrifuge tube filled with the soaking solution, adding 1% acetonitrile solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid into the centrifuge tube, and fixing the volume to 5 ml.
d. Putting 10mg of a commercial CPG carrier into a 2ml centrifuge tube, adding a commercial TCA reagent into the centrifuge tube, soaking for 2h for DMT removal treatment, collecting soaking solution, putting the soaking solution into a 15ml centrifuge tube, then washing with acetonitrile for 3 times, collecting 3 times of washing solution into the 15ml centrifuge tube filled with the soaking solution, adding 1% acetonitrile solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid into the centrifuge tube, and fixing the volume to 5 ml.
e. 10mg of the CPG carrier prepared in the comparative example 1 is taken and placed in a 2ml centrifuge tube, a commercial TCA reagent is added into the centrifuge tube to be soaked for 2h for DMT removal treatment, soaking liquid is collected and placed in a 15ml centrifuge tube, then acetonitrile is used for cleaning for 3 times, similarly 3 times of cleaning liquid is collected into a 15ml centrifuge tube filled with the soaking liquid, 1% acetonitrile solution of p-toluenesulfonic acid is added into the centrifuge tube, and the volume is fixed to 5 ml.
And (4) diluting the collected liquid b, c, d and e by 400 times to perform absorbance detection at 498nm of a spectrophotometer, wherein the collected liquid a can be directly used for detection. The results are shown in table 1 below:

From the above detection results, it can be seen that a, b, c, and e have absorbance at 498nm, which is the absorbance at 498nm of DMT as the protecting group on the modifier, and this shows that examples 1, 2, 3, and 1 are all prepared successfully.
For the microspherical solid substrate, it can be seen from the absorbance values of b, c, d of the same mass that the nucleic acids (i.e., b and c) prepared by examples 2 and 3 have larger absorbance values relative to the commercial CPG carrier d, which means that the carriers prepared by examples 2 and 3 have more nucleic acid loading, and wherein the carrier prepared by example 3 has the largest absorbance value, which is probably due to the magnetic particle Fe prepared by the present invention3O4With the largest specific surface.
As can be seen by a comprehensive comparison of the absorbance values of the same masses of a, b, c and d above, the absorbance value of a is minimal relative to b, c and d, probably because the solid substrate of a is a glass slide, has minimal surface area, and has fewer sites available for loading nucleic acids thereon, thus resulting in a smaller nucleic acid loading.
For the solid phase substrate of the porous glass beads, the absorbance of e is relatively small compared with that of b as shown by the comprehensive comparison of the absorbance of b and e with the same mass, which is mainly caused by that the nucleic acid loading is relatively small due to the small dosage and the small pore diameter of the linker modifying reagent used in the self-made CPG of comparative example 1.
