Description

Multicolor fluorescent probe based on DNA nano structure and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and particularly relates to a multicolor fluorescent probe based on a DNA nano structure, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The simultaneous qualitative or quantitative detection of various biological small molecules, nucleic acids and proteins has important scientific significance for basic research of life science, biological medicine and the like. For example, the development of complex diseases such as malignant tumors involves a variety of biochemical reactions in the body, and diseases often have a variety of associated biomarkers. Therefore, compared with the detection of a single marker, the multi-channel detection and imaging of a plurality of markers can improve the accuracy of early detection results and reduce the detection results of false positives or false negatives. Therefore, multi-channel detection is an important means for studying physiological and pathological processes, and is extremely important for clinical medicine. Non-invasive fluorescence imaging is an important means for researchers and clinicians to conduct various biomolecular studies and further monitor physiological and pathological processes and mechanisms due to its advantages of real-time performance, high spatial and temporal resolution, and the like. In the actual fluorescence detection of various target molecules, the number of the effective fluorescent probes in a visible light region is only 4 to 5 due to the crosstalk easily generated between the fluorescent probes due to spectral overlapping and the FRET effect between adjacent spectral molecules, so that the development of a multi-channel fluorescence imaging technology is greatly limited. Therefore, the development of a method for constructing a multi-color fluorescent probe with rich codes is a urgent task for the development of multi-channel detection.
The DNA nanotechnology provides a new idea for solving the problems. Based on the self-assembly strategy of 'from bottom to bottom', DNA nano-materials with different spatial configurations are reported sequentially through DNA base complementary pairing hybridization. Compared with other nanometer materials, the DNA nanometer material has good programmability and addressability, can be used as a template, and realizes the controllable assembly of target molecules by accurately controlling the spatial position and the number of the target molecules. In addition, different from single-stranded DNA, when the DNA nano-chain is assembled into a DNA nano-structure through hybridization between sequences, the structural rigidity of the material is obviously enhanced. The rigid structure is not only beneficial to controlling the distance of target molecules, but also can enter cells automatically, and has good enzyme cutting resistance. Thus, DNA nanostructures have great potential in multichannel imaging within cells. For example, different types and quantities of fluorescent molecules are modified at different positions of the DNA origami, so that DNA fluorescent probes with abundant quantities and different fluorescent signals are constructed. However, in order to prevent FRET effect between fluorescent molecules on origami, the distance between different fluorescent molecules needs to be above 10 nm, usually several hundred nm DNA nanostructure is needed as a unit, but too large size does not utilize cellular uptake and reduces imaging resolution. While DNA nanostructures that are too small in size provide smaller modification sites and therefore cannot take advantage of spatial location to encode fluorescent molecules.

example 1
The invention provides a multicolor fluorescent probe based on a DNA nano structure and a preparation method and application thereof, and firstly, the preparation of a DNA tetrahedron comprises the following steps:
all DNA was dissolved in Q water, and the absorbance of single strands at 260 nm was measured by UV spectrophotometer to quantify all DNA single strand concentrations to 100. Mu.M. Four single-stranded DNAs for preparing DNA tetrahedrons were mixed in equal amounts in TM buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl,5 mM MgCl) 2 pH 8.0) was added to the reaction solution, and the final concentration of DNA single strand was 1. Mu.M. Keeping the temperature in a PCR instrument at 95 ℃ for 10 min, then quickly cooling to 4 ℃ and keeping the temperature in the PCR instrument at 4 ℃ for 10 min to prepare a DNA tetrahedron. And then, characterizing the DNA tetrahedron by 8% polyacrylamide electrophoresis and AFM, wherein the electrophoresis operation condition is 120V for 120 min. The morphology of the DNA tetrahedron was characterized by AFM.
As a result: polyacrylamide electrophoresis showed that as the number of arm strands on the DNA tetrahedron increased, the rate of DNA tetrahedron migration slowed and the DNA tetrahedron was successfully prepared (fig. 2). The AFM results clearly show DNA tetrahedrons, with the tetrahedrons having an edge length of about 12 nm and a height of 2.6 nm (FIG. 3).
Example 2
The preparation of the high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure comprises the following steps:
and mixing the DNA tetrahedrons modified with the complementary arm chains according to the assembly molar ratio of 1, and incubating for 2h at 37 ℃ to obtain a first-generation high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure (G1). And then incubating for 2h at 37 ℃ in a layer-by-layer assembly or fractal assembly mode to synthesize second generation (G2), third generation (G3) and fourth generation (G4) high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structures. The assembly rule of the high-order DNA tetrahedron is as follows, and each additional layer from the central tetrahedron a-T0 as an assembly center represents the generation of a new generation of high-order structure. The n-1 th generation tetrahedron high-order structure a-Gn-1 with arm chains has the arm chain number of 3 x 2 (n-1), and is hybridized with tetrahedrons with complementary hybrid arm chains to obtain the n-th generation high-order DNA tetrahedron assembly structure. When the assembly order is adjusted, the same structure is also obtained by fractal assembly.
Purifying the DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure by adopting high performance liquid chromatography, wherein a separation column is SEC-4000, the flow rate of a mobile phase is 1 ml/min, collecting target peak components, and then concentrating by using a 30 kDa ultrafiltration tube, the ultrafiltration condition is 3000 g and 10 min, and ultrafiltration is carried out for 3 times. The mobile phase was 25 mM Tris-HCl,450 mM NaCl, pH 7.2.
Atomic force microscopy characterization: treating the newly uncovered mica with 0.5% (v/v) APTES solution for 1 min, washing with a large amount of Q water to remove unadsorbed APTES, and blow-drying the mica surface with ear washing balls for later use. And (3) dripping 10 mu L of 1nM sample on the surface of mica, adsorbing for 5 min, and scanning and imaging under an atomic force microscope, wherein the imaging probe is SCANASYST-FLUID +, and the imaging mode is PeakForce QNM in FLUID.
Agarose gel electrophoresis characterization: characterization was performed using 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, run at 100V for 1h.
STORM imaging: two-color fluorescence labeled 4-G4 self-assemblies were used in STORM imaging, with the central tetrahedron labeled Cy3 and the outermost tetrahedron labeled Alexa647. Firstly, washing glass sheet with surfactant for 2min, washing with Q, treating in Q water, acetone and anhydrous ethanol for 15 min, and treating with N 2 And drying for later use. The glass sheet was then left to stand at 110 ℃ for 45 min. 1 uL of 10 pM G4 sample was dropped onto a slide for 10 min for modification, and 1. Mu.L of fluorescent microspheres and 70. Mu.L of an imaging buffer (purchased from Nikon) were added thereto, and after standing for 10 min, STORM imaging was performed.
As a result: from 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, it can be seen that the structure size and molecular weight increase and the migration speed of the band becomes slower as the number of generations of the assembly increases. The chain assembly F was analyzed by ImageJ software 2,0 、F 2,1 ,F 2,2 And F 2,3 The productivity of the layer-by-layer assembly is 63%, 60%, 40% and 30%, respectively, and the dendritic self-assembly F 3,0 、F 3,1 ,F 3,2 And F and 3,3 the yield of the layer-by-layer assembly is 89%, 88%, 67% and 78%, respectively, and the dendritic self-assembly F 4,0 、F 4,1 ,F 4,2 And F and 4,3 the yields of layer-by-layer assembly were 81%, 72%, 32% and 57%, respectively (fig. 4). But also for F 3,3 Structurally, the yield of fractal assembly under the same conditions is 84% much higher than the layer-by-layer assembly efficiency, because all intermediate structure yields can be purified during the fractal assembly process, which is beneficial for accurately controlling the assembly ratio, and thus the yield is high (fig. 5). F is clearly seen in the AFM 2,0 、F 2,1 ,F 2,2 ,F 2,3 ,F 3,0 ,F 3,1 ,F 3,2 ,F 3,3 ,F 4,0 、F 4,1 ,F 4,2 And F and 4,3 higher order DNA tetrahedra assembled structures with yields of 95%,64%,246%,96%,66%,41%,64%,39% and 42%, respectively (FIG. 6).
In addition, AFM characterization analysis shows that the included angles between three adjacent tetrahedra in the chain-shaped assembly are distributed within 50-180 degrees, which shows that the chain-shaped self-assembly has certain structural flexibility under the premise of ensuring rigidity (figure 7)
The stram results show that Cy3 is surrounded by Alexa fluorescence, the location of Cy3 is offset from the geometric center of the structure, and the central spot is offset from the center by 79 ± 36 nm, indicating that the structure has certain flexibility (fig. 8).
Example 3
By utilizing the structural characteristics of the high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure, the construction of the multicolor fluorescent probe without adjacent molecular crosstalk and with quantifiable fluorescence intensity by marking of fluorescent molecules is further researched. Each DNA tetrahedron in the high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure has a site capable of labeling a fluorescent molecule, so that each tetrahedron can label 4 fluorescent molecules. Three fluorescent molecules Alexa488, ROX and Cy5 are selected to construct a multicolor fluorescent probe. For the F3,2 structure 28 fluorescent molecules can be labeled.
And (3) adopting an Edinburgh FS920 fluorescence spectrophotometer to carry out fluorescence spectrum collection on the constructed fluorescence probe. All samples tested were at a concentration of 10 nM. The excitation wavelength of Alexa488 is 488 nm, and the spectrum acceptance range is 495-590 nm; the ROX excitation wavelength is 588 nm, and the spectral receiving range is 595-640 nm; the Cy5 excitation wavelength is 650 nm, and the spectral acceptance range is 655-720 nm.
As a result: the results in FIG. 9 b show that the average spacing between adjacent tetrahedra is 18.5. + -. 3.8 nm, which is effective for avoiding energy transfer between fluorescent molecules. As shown in fig. 9 c and d, the number of fluorescent molecules is linearly related to the fluorescence intensity of the probe, and the number of fluorescent molecules in the probe has a good linear relationship with the fluorescence intensity of the probe (R2 > 0.99). In addition, when the fluorescent probe is modified with Alexa488, ROX and Cy5 simultaneously, fluorescence crosstalk and FRET effect do not exist among fluorescent molecules (as shown in FIG. 10), and the high-order DNA tetrahedron is suitable for being used as a structural element for amplifying fluorescence brightness and can be used for constructing the fluorescent probe with quantifiable intensity.
In a chain shape F 2,3 For structural motifs, by controlling the number and location of Alexa488, ROX and Cy5, we constructed 36 fluorescent probes, named in the manner of Cy5-ROX-Alexa488, such as 111 labeled with 1 Cy5,1 ROX and 1 Alexa488.
36 fluorescent probes to be detected are spotted on a clean glass slide according to a certain sequence by adopting a SpotBot 2 microarray spotting instrument, the spotting distance is 400 mu m, and a Leica TCS SP8 laser confocal microscope is adopted for imaging after 1h. The imaging condition is 633 nm excitation, the receiving range is 650 nm-720 nm,561 nm laser, the receiving window is set to 575-620 nm;488 nm laser, and the receiving window is set to be 495-550 nm.
As a result: as shown in e in FIG. 9, each fluorescent probe presents different colors, which proves that the construction of the multicolor fluorescent probe is successful, and the high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure is a powerful tool for constructing the multicolor fluorescent probe.
Example 4
The application of the high-order DNA tetrahedral self-assembly structure in single molecule recognition comprises the following steps:
a131 high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly body is used as a research object, and a 20 pM fluorescent probe modified with avidin is firstly modified on a biotin-modified glass sheet, and the adsorption time is 5 min. The 131 self-assemblies not adsorbed on the petri dish were then removed by washing with 1 × PBS buffer. 100 nM Target1 single strand was added to the sample tank, incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 min, then washed three times with PBS and the fluorescent signal of the fluorescent probe was collected in the 488, 561 and 647 nM channels. Then, 100 nM Target2 single strand was added to the sample well, incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 min, and then washed three times with PBS, and the fluorescent signals of the fluorescent probes in the 488, 561 and 647 nM channels were collected for 100 ms exposure.
As a result: when the Target sequence is not added, the three channels of 488, 561 and 647 nm have signals, when Target1 is added firstly, the Cy5 signal disappears, only ROX and Alexa488 signals can be collected, and the number of steps in the ROX and Alexa488 bleaching curves is 1 and 3 respectively. With the addition of Target2, both Cy5 and Cy3 signals disappeared, only Alexa488 signal was collected, and the number of steps in the bleaching curve was 1 (fig. 11). When Target2 is added first, the Cy5 and Cy3 signals disappear simultaneously, and only Alexa488 signals exist; when Target1 is added, only Alexa488 signal is still available, so that the multicolor fluorescent probe can realize ordered recognition of Target molecules (FIG. 12).
Example 5
The application of the high-order DNA tetrahedron self-assembly structure in multiple cell imaging and tumor cell classification and identification comprises the following steps:
in the structural stability study of the fluorescent probe, 10. Mu.L of 10 nM fluorescent probe was added to 100. Mu.L of 1640 cell culture medium containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and incubated at 37 ℃ for 2h, 8h, 12h and 24 h, respectively. And respectively taking 30 mu L of samples to be detected, characterizing by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, running for 1h under the condition of 100V, and determining the structural stability of the fluorescent probe according to the brightness of an electrophoresis strip.
As a result: the tree-structure fluorescent probe has good structural stability in serum within 12h, can effectively inhibit the degradation of enzyme to DNA, and is suitable for cell imaging analysis (figure 13).
In fluorescent probe cytotoxicity studies, 1X 10 5 The HeLa cells and MCF-7 cells were individually placed in a 96-well plate and cultured overnight at 37 ℃. Then, a fluorescent probe was added to the medium at a final concentration of 20 nM for 6 h, 12h and 24 h, respectively. After the incubation was completed, the cells were washed 3 times with 1 × PBS buffer. Then, 100. Mu.L of 1.5 mM MTT solution was added to each well. After 4 hours, the MTT solution was aspirated, and 100 μ L DMSO was added to each well. The absorbance at 570 nm of each well was then read using a Bio Tek synergy MX H1 microplate reader. Repeat 5 groups for each cell sample.
As a result: after the cells were incubated with the probe, the cell survival rate was greater than 90%, indicating that the fluorescent probe was not cytotoxic and had good biocompatibility (fig. 14).
We further investigated the use of multicolor fluorescent probes for multiplex imaging studies of cells, and we chose 410, 041 and 104 fluorescent probes for cell imaging. Firstly, respectively marking AS1411, SYL3C and sgc8 on fluorescent probes to construct AS1411-410 fluorescent probes, SYL3C-041 and sgc8-104 fluorescent probes. 1nM of mixed fluorescent probes AS1411-410, SYL3C-041 and sgc8-104 were added to 5X 10, respectively 5 The HeLa cells, MCF7 cells and HEK293 cells were incubated at 37 ℃ for 1h. Cells were washed 3 times with 1 × PBS prior to imaging, and then fluorescence signals were collected from cells in the 488, 561 and 647 nm channels.
As a result: from the total internal reflection fluorescence image, all cells showed fluorescence spots of mixed colors, indicating that the cells can effectively take up the three fluorescent probes, mainly due to the expression of nucleolin, epCAM, PTK7 and other proteins in HeLa cells, MCF7 cells and HEK293 cells. However, there is a large difference in the mean fluorescence intensity between the three cells. The differences between individuals within the same cell line are also large, resulting in weaker differences between tumor cells. Thus, these cells are difficult to distinguish by any one aptamer. By statistically analyzing the fluorescence of the three fluorescent probes at 488, 561 and 647 nm in each cell, the intensity of different cells in the three channels is obviously different, and the three tumor cells are easily distinguished (FIG. 15). Therefore, the system can more accurately identify different tumor cells and has great potential in tumor typing.

All simple and equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims and the content of the specification of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present patent application.
