Description

Non-natural nucleic acid hydrogel and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biological materials, and particularly relates to a non-natural nucleic acid hydrogel and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Hydrogels are a common material, wherein part of the hydrogels have good biocompatibility, adjustable biodegradability and controllable mechanical properties, and have important application values in the fields of chemical and biomedical engineering. With the deep research of the hydrogel field, a more accurate synthesis method, more sensitive stimulus response and richer functionalities have become main research directions and targets in the development process of novel application type hydrogels.
DNA is the core genetic material of the life system, leading to biological development and vital functions. From the material chemistry perspective, DNA is a natural biological polymer and has the characteristic that synthetic polymers cannot be compared. For example: the base complementary pairing characteristic ensures that the DNA has accurate and efficient self-assembly capability; the DNA sequence is various and adjustable, the structure is accurate and controllable, and the stimulation response is rich; natural evolution endows organisms with rich and diverse biological enzymes, and can accurately operate DNA at a molecular level; the DNA has good biocompatibility and biodegradability.
In recent years, scientists have synthesized a variety of DNA functional polymeric materials using DNA as a building block. Among them, DNA hydrogel is an important DNA material, and is a three-dimensional polymer network constructed by using DNA as a structural element, and has been vigorously developed in recent years. The DNA hydrogel not only utilizes the skeleton structure of the hydrogel, but also retains the biological function of DNA, realizes perfect fusion of the structure and the function of the hydrogel material, and has wide application prospect in the fields of biosensors, drug delivery, cell culture, protein synthesis, intelligent devices, environmental protection and the like.
Several methods for preparing DNA hydrogels have been reported. For example, preformed DNA building blocks (X, Y, T type DNA) are interacted with complementary DNA strands by controlling the enzyme or pH. DNA hydrogels can also be prepared by PCR amplification using Y-shaped DNA primers or multiple primer rolling circle replication. However, these hydrogels are formed by hydrogen bonding between bases, have low stability, require special designs for sequences, and have limited controllability of many properties (such as degree of density, mechanical properties, etc.), which greatly limits the popularization and application of DNA hydrogels.

The application of the non-natural nucleic acid hydrogel in the biomedical field.
The invention synthesizes nucleic acid with modification on base by enzyme method, provides covalent binding site, and solves the problem of low stability of DNA hydrogel by introducing covalent bond. The nucleotide with modified base is cheap and easy to obtain, can be identified by various nucleic acid polymerases, and provides a convenient preparation method for hydrogel nucleic acid skeleton formation.

As shown in fig. 3A, the macromolecules formed by PCR are combined and concentrated to form loose micelles; as shown in fig. 3B, the hydrogel was more dense after high temperature annealing, and after staining with Cyber Gold, significant fluorescence was seen under uv light, thus proving that the main component of the hydrogel was nucleic acid.

EXAMPLE 2 use of unnatural nucleic acid hydrogels
1. Transcribable carried genetic information
Adding a brush PCR product containing a Broccoli gene into a reaction system containing T7 transcriptase, adding fluorescent molecule DFHBI capable of reacting with transcribed RNA aptamer, and monitoring the fluorescence intensity in real time by an enzyme-labeling instrument so as to reflect the transcription condition of the Broccoli. The control group was a transcription system without hydrogel added under the same conditions. The results are shown in FIG. 6. This result demonstrates that hydrogels carrying genetic information can be transcribed.
2. Can express the carried genetic information
Expressing the brush PCR product containing GFP gene in a cell-free system of escherichia coli, and finally, the concentration of each reagent in the reaction system of the cell-free system: 1.2mmol/L adenine nucleoside triphosphate, 0.850mmol/L guanine nucleoside triphosphate, 0.850mmol/L urine purine nucleoside triphosphate, 0.850mmol/L cytosine nucleoside triphosphate, 31.50. Mu.g/mL folinic acid, 170.60. Mu.g/mL tRNA,0.40mmol/L Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD), 1.50mmol/L spermidine and 57.33mmol/L HEPES buffer, 10mmol/L magnesium glutamate, 10mmol/L ammonium glutamate, 130mmol/L potassium glutamate, 20 amino acids each 2mmol/L,0.03mol phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), 0.27mmol/L coenzyme A (CoA), 4.00mmol/L oxalic acid, 1.00mmol/L putrescine. The reaction conditions were water bath at 30℃overnight. The experimental groups were set as follows: 1: a template-free negative control group; 2: brush PCR negative control product group (brush reaction system without PCR cross-linking); 3: linear template positive control (GFP-F, GFP-R (sequence with N) 3 -GFP-F、N 3 GFP-R) 40 ng/. Mu.l of PCR-purified product obtained by primer amplification); 4: azide modified template positive control group (with N 3 -GFP-F、N 3 GFP-R was 40 ng/. Mu.l of PCR-purified product from primer amplification); 5: hairbrush PCR product experimental group I (hairbrush PCR product dialysate 15 ng/. Mu.l); 6: hairbrush PCR product experimental group II (hairbrush PCR product dialysate 45 ng/. Mu.l); 7: hairbrush PCR product experimental group III (hairbrush PCR product dialysate 75 ng/. Mu.l). As shown in FIG. 7, the difference between the expression of the brush hydrogel and the expression of the linear template, the azide-modified template and the brush negative control product is compared, so that the brush hydrogel can be used for in vitro transcription and translation and has better effect.
Two control experiments were set and three parallel controls were performed for each group, and as shown in fig. 8, cell-free protein expression systems containing and not containing brush PCR products were reacted at 37 ℃ for 20 minutes, and by monitoring fluorescence intensity, the brush hydrogel was again verified to be useful for transcription and translation in vitro and to have a good effect.
3. Can protect DNA carrying genetic information from degradation in fetal calf serum
Macromolecules obtained by PCR with the same nucleic acid concentration (274 ng/. Mu.l) and the Broccoli DNA amplified by the normal primer PCR are respectively placed in fetal bovine serum and degraded for 12 hours, and the two degradation products are analyzed by gel electrophoresis for strip fluorescence intensity every hour to obtain the change curves of the fluorescence intensity of the two strips. As shown in fig. 9, it can be seen that DNA was almost completely degraded in 4 hours under the same conditions, while the macromolecules constituting the hydrogel were not degraded yet, and if the hydrogel was concentrated, the degradation rate was slower. As shown in fig. 10, two degradation products were transcribed 4 hours after degradation, and the degradation was compared by detecting fluorescence intensity. The negative control is that no degradation product is added under the same reaction condition, and the positive control is that macromolecules which are not obtained by the PCR of the brush primer after degradation treatment are added under the same reaction condition. The results show that the functional genes wrapped by the hydrogel are less prone to degradation than free linear DNA, so that the brush primer PCR product can last longer when expressed in a cell-free system, and the expression quantity is theoretically higher than that of the linear DNA with equal concentration.

1) Primer extension with modified nucleoside triphosphates:
the 5' -end FAM fluorescence-modified primer FAM-T1-R (1. Mu. Mol/L, table 1) was annealed to the DNA template T1 (2. Mu. Mol/L, table 1) in 2X OneTaq polymerase buffer (reaction conditions: 95 ℃,5min, gradually cooled to room temperature and then left on ice for 5 min). FAM was modified at the 5-terminus of the primer and the band seen was the extension product.
The annealed template/primer mixture (0.5. Mu. Mol/L) was incubated with natural or modified deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates dNTPs or ribonucleoside triphosphate NTPs (0.5. Mu. Mol/L each) in 1 XOneTaq polymerase buffer containing 1. Mu. Mol/L SFM4-3 polymerase for 12h at 50 ℃.
