Description

Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological probes, relates to the fields of aging medicine, cell biology, molecular biology, drug development and the like, and particularly relates to a resonance energy transfer-based total genetic coding NMN protein probe and application thereof.
Background
NAD + Is an important coenzyme molecule and participates in a plurality of important processes such as cell energy metabolism, DNA repair, protein post-transcriptional modification, gene regulation, circadian rhythm and the like. NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) + One consensus in the field of metabolic research is that: NAD in some tissues or cells + The concentration will decrease with aging. For example, model animal mice will develop skeletal muscle, adipose tissue and brain hippocampal NAD as aging progresses + The concentration is reduced. And NAD + A decrease in concentration may affect the activity of SIRT1 and PARPs, alter calcium homeostasis, and decrease mitochondrial function. Thus, intracellular NAD is reversed + The reduced levels are useful in preventing or treating aging-related disorders.
NMN is NAD + The direct precursor of the salvage synthesis pathway, NMN supplementation, is a rapid increase of NAD + A horizontally effective means. Many researches show that NMN supplementation can effectively promote intracellular NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) under various pathological conditions such as aging-related diseases, obesity-related metabolic disorders, diabetes, ischemia-reperfusion injury and the like + Level, improve cognitive function, and improve depressive behavior. Several recent clinical trials of NMN have also demonstrated their benefits in humans: first, NMN (tens of milligrams to thousands of milligrams per day) is safe to administer; secondly, the aerobic exercise capacity of amateur runners can be improved by taking NMN, and the dosage dependence characteristic is presented; finally, for overweight women with pre-diabetes, oral NMN can increase insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue without significant side effects.
Therefore, the metabolism rule of NMN in living cells is deeply researched and characterized, the real-time measurement of the dynamic change of the NMN concentration is realized, and the research on NMN or NAD + The metabolic pathway regulation, the disease generation and the drug action mechanism are greatly helpful, and a new scheme is expected to be provided for improving aging and metabolic related diseases.
At present, the NMN content in biological samples can be detected as follows:
1) High performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combination:
in the high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry combined method, different components in a sample to be detected are separated by using the high performance liquid chromatography method, and the light absorption intensities of the different components are detected at the same time. And (3) during high performance liquid chromatography, different components enter a mass spectrum through ionization, the different components are qualitative through nuclear mass ratio, and the different components are quantitative through ion strength.
2) Fluorescence detection method:
performing acetophenone derivatization aiming at an alkyl pyridine group of the NMN, further enabling the alkyl pyridine group to generate fluorescence, finally measuring fluorescence intensity through a fluorescence photometer, drawing a standard curve according to a standard product and the corresponding fluorescence intensity, and further performing reverse-extrapolation to obtain the concentration of the NMN in the sample.
However, neither hplc-ms and NMN fluorescence detection methods are able to measure NMN concentrations in living cells. This type of method requires lysis of a large number of cells (about one million), a process that loses temporal and spatial information of the concentration of cellular NMN; meanwhile, the intracellular NMN concentration can be changed in the sample cracking process, so that the result is inaccurate; in addition, the derivatization treatment of the NMN requires a high temperature condition of 100 ℃, which may degrade the NMN; finally, the detection of a single sample takes 10 to 30 minutes and relies on large instruments, which severely limits the detection of large batches of samples, and is one of the rate-limiting steps in NMN metabolism research and drug development.

Drawings
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the principle of detecting the concentration of the NMN molecule based on the resonance energy transfer NMN molecular probe of the present invention. The NMN-sensing protein is in an "open" state when the probe does not bind the NMN molecule, and the NMN-sensing protein conformation changes to a "closed" state when NMN is bound. The efficiency of the resonance energy transfer differs between the "open" and "closed" states, which in turn can indicate the NMN level.

Detailed Description
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, it will now be further described with reference to the following examples and the accompanying drawings. The examples are for illustration only and do not limit the invention in any way. In the examples, each raw reagent material is commercially available, and the experimental method not specifying the specific conditions is a conventional method and a conventional condition well known in the art, or a condition recommended by an instrument manufacturer.
Example 1
The invention provides a resonance energy transfer-based total genetic coding NMN protein probe, which consists of three parts, namely an NMN response protein, a donor and an acceptor, wherein the conformation of the NMN response protein is severely regulated and controlled by NMN, and the donor and the acceptor can form a resonance energy transfer phenomenon, and the resonance energy transfer acceptor, the NMN response protein and the resonance energy transfer donor are connected in series. Wherein the NMN responsive protein is a mutant of DNA ligase (LigA), and the LigA mutant can be selected from the group consisting of LigA mutant 1, ligA mutant 2 and LigA mutant 3. The resonance energy transfer donor and the acceptor are respectively a Luciferase and a fluorescent protein, or two fluorescent proteins with different colors, for example, the resonance energy transfer donor can be a circularly arranged bioluminescent protein (cpNLuc) or a green fluorescent protein mNeoGreen, the resonance energy transfer acceptor is a red fluorescent protein mReclet-I, the cpNLuc can be selected from cpNLuc mutant 1 or cpNLuc mutant 2, the mReclet-I can be selected from mReclet-I mutant 1 or mReclet-I mutant 2.
The principle of detecting the concentration of the NMN molecule by the resonance energy transfer-based full genetic coding NMN protein probe is shown in figure 1, when the NMN response protein is not combined with the NMN molecule, the probe structure is in an open state, so that the distance between a resonance energy transfer donor and a receptor is long, the resonance energy transfer efficiency is low, and the probe integrally emits light of the resonance energy transfer donor. When the NMN response protein is combined with the NMN molecule, the conformation of the NMN response protein is changed from an open state to a closed state, the resonance energy transfer donor and the receptor are enabled to be close to each other, higher resonance energy transfer efficiency is formed, and the probe emits light of the resonance energy transfer receptor. The change of the resonance energy transfer efficiency caused by the NMN molecule is finally shown as the change of the emission wavelength intensity of the resonance energy transfer donor and acceptor in the probe. This ratio of emitted light intensities in turn indicates the concentration of NMN in the system.

Example 4 mammalian cell lines stably expressing NMN molecular probes for measuring the dynamic change in NMN concentration in living cells
The NMN molecular probe provided by the invention can detect the concentration change of NMN molecules in living cells and substructures thereof. The probe (NMNS) 1.1 ) The coding gene is cloned to a pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-Neo vector, NES (MLQNELALKLGLGLLDINKT), 2x CoXVIII (SVLTPLLLRGLTGSARRLPVPRAKIHSLGDPMSVLTPLLLRGLTGSARRLPVPRAKIHSLGDPK) or NTS (DPKKKRKV) sequence labels are respectively added at the amino end of the coding gene of the probe, and cytoplasmic localization (Cyto-NMNS) is respectively realized 1.1 ) Nuclear localization (Nuc-NMNS) 1.1 ) And mitochondrial localization (Mito-NMNS) 1.1 ) And (5) constructing a probe plasmid. Subsequently, a HEK 293T stable cell line was prepared using a lentivirus method. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the probe was well localized to the nucleus or mitochondria. HEK 293T cells were plated in 96-well white cell culture plates at an inoculum size of 10,000 cells per well in 100 μ L DMEM medium (high sugar, phenol red free) containing 10% (v/v) Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). At 37 ℃,5% CO 2 After 24h of incubation under these conditions, using 10nM FK866 (NAMPT inhibitor, it was effective in reducing intracellular NAD + Level), or 500. Mu.M NAD + Precursor compounds (NAM, NMN, NR, NRH) treated stable cell lines. After 6h of compound treatment, the medium was changed to fresh DMEM medium containing Furimazine substrate (high sugar, no phenol red, 1000-fold dilution of Furimazine substrate). The emission light intensity of 590nm and 440nm wavelength is detected by a Flex Station3 multifunctional microplate reader. According to the detection principle of the probe, the ratio of the emission light intensity of 590nm and 440nm wavelength indicates the NMN concentration in the living cells. This ratio decreased in FK 866-treated cells as detected, indicating a decrease in intracellular NMN concentration. And NAD + The ratio increased to various degrees in cells treated with the precursor compound, indicating an increase in intracellular NMN concentration. This change was consistent with expectations, indicating that the NMN probe was able to respond to changes in intracellular NMN concentration (fig. 5).

The invention provides a stable NMNS 1.1 The HEK 293T cell line of (a) can be used to study the mechanism of NMN transport by living cells. HEK 293T cells plated at an inoculum size of 10,000 cells per well in 96-well white cell culture plates in DMEM medium (high-sugar, phenol red-free) containing 10% (v/v) FBS, at 37 ℃ with a 5% CO 2 Culturing under the condition for 24h. The cell culture plates were removed and the medium removed and cleared 3 times with 100 μ L Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) per well. Then, 100. Mu.L of HBSS buffer containing Furimazine substrate (diluted 1000-fold) and NMN at the corresponding concentration was added to each well and immediately placed in a Flex Station3 multifunctional microplate reader to read the light intensity at 590nm and 440 nm. According to the detection principle of the probe, the ratio of the emission light intensities of 590nm and 440nm wavelength indicates the NMN concentration in the living cells. As can be seen in fig. 6, the probe had a clear response after NMN addition, indicating that the rate of NMN entry into living cells was rapid. Furthermore, cells over-expressing the Slc12a8 protein had more rapid NMN transport than cells expressing the empty vector, supporting the idea that Slc12a8 is an NMN transporter.
