三角形構造RNA-タンパク質複合体(Tri-RNP、図1)を、Ohno, H. et al.,. Nat. Nanotechnol. 2011, 6, 116.の記載に従い作製した。詳細には、K-turn RNAモチーフを頂点に有し、一辺が、それぞれ、15塩基、26塩基、48塩基、70塩基および92塩基の長鎖(L-RNA)および短鎖(S-RNA)からなるdsRNAsを設計した。それぞれ、LS-15(L-15:配列番号13およびS-15:配列番号14)、LS-26(L-26:配列番号15およびS-26:配列番号16)、LS-48(L-48:配列番号17およびS-48:配列番号18)、LS-70(L-70配列番号19およびS-70配列番号20)およびLS-92(L-92配列番号21およびS-92配列番号22)と称す(図1)。RNAは、前述のDNAテンプレートを元にMEGAshortscript T7 kit(Ambion)を用いて作製した。得られたL-RNAとS-RNAをRNP結合溶媒(150ml KCl、1.5mM MgCl2および20mM HEPES-KOH(pH 7.5)から成る溶液)にて、80℃で3分間処理した後、室温にて10分間冷却することで、RNAどうしをハイブリダイズさせ、ループ構造を有する二重鎖RNA (LS-RNA)を作製した。
上述したHS-AFMを用いて、L7Ae添加後のRNA構造における変化をタイムラプス撮像より観察した(図6)。タイムラプス画像により、L7Aeが直接3つのLS-26のK-turnモチーフに結合すると、K-turnモチーフが60度の角度に折り曲げられ、この構造変化より、三角形構造へ移行することを確認した。一方、RNAからタンパク質が解離することで、三角形構造からループ構造へと移行することも確認された。
血清の存在下におけるRNA-タンパク質複合体(RNP)の構造安定性について確認した。詳細には、50 nM LS-26または50 nM LS-26と300nM L7Aeとの混合物に20% FBSを添加し、37℃で0分、30分、60分および120分インキュベート後、10 mM EDTA (pH8.0)およびフェノールを添加し、ポリアクリルアミドゲルを用いて電気泳動し、RNAの安定性を観察した。その結果、LS-26においてL7Aeの存在下でRNPを形成させることで、血清含有緩衝液における、その安定性が亢進することが確認された(図7)。一方、L7Aeの非存在下では、LS-26は、30分間の血清処理で分解することが確認された。また、Tri-26mut3を用いた場合、分解は抑制されなかった。同じ結果が、ヒト血清(20%)においても観察された(図8)。これらの結果より、三角形構造を形成することで、血清存在下などの生理的条件下においても、RNAの安定性が高まることが確認された。
Tri-RNPに特定の癌細胞を認識する機能を付加した。詳細には、affibodyZHER2:342ペプチド(配列番号25および26)のN末端でSSSGSSSGSSSG(配列番号27および28)を介しL7AeのC末端と融合したタンパク質(L7Ae-AFB)を、上述のとおり、Ohno, Hらの記載に従い、プラスミドを大腸菌にトランスフェクションすることで用意した。このL7Ae-AFBをLS-RNAに添加し、RNPを構築した(Tri-AFB、図9A)。LS-26をRNAとして用いた場合(Tri-26-AFB)の三角形構造をHS-AFMにて確認し、各頂点にAFBと推定される物質が付加されていることも確認できた(図9B)。さらに、EMSAを用いてTri-26と同様にL7Ae-AFBが、K-turnモチーフに結合することが確認された(図10)。
三角形構造を有するRNPが、siRNAとしての機能を有するかについて検討を行うため、図14に示すRNPを構築した。詳細には、LS-26の3辺にGFPに対するsiRNAを有するように、S-26、L-26-1(配列番号29)、L-26-2(配列番号30)、L-26-3(配列番号31)およびantisense-GFP(配列番号32)との5つのRNAを上述と同様にハイブリダイズしてLS-26-siGFPを作製した。続いて、LS-26-siGFPとL7Aeとを混合することで三角形構造を有するTri-26-siGFPを作製し、HS-AFMを用いて構造を確認したところ、三角形の各辺に、GFPに対するsiRNAと思われる構造物が確認され、予想された形状を取ることが確認された(図15上段)。一方、L7Aeの非存在下では、不均一なRNA構造を取ることが確認された(図15下段)。以上より、siRNA機能を有する3つの二重鎖を含有する構造を持つ三角形構造(Tri-26-siGFP)を構築することができた。
