- 转移RNA (tRNA) 的丰度和修改影响mRNA的稳定性和蛋白质产量.
- tRNA是提高mRNA翻译效率的潜在目标.
研究的目的:
- 通过调节tRNA可用性来增强mRNA翻译的新策略tRNA-plus.
- 研究特定tRNA过度表达对SARS-CoV-2尖端mRNA稳定性和翻译的影响.
- 评估化学合成,修饰的tRNA及其与mRNA疫苗的配送效果.
主要方法:
- 通过过度表达特定的tRNA来人工调节tRNA的可用性.
- 提高SARS-CoV-2尖端mRNA的稳定性和翻译效率.
- 在抗环和TΨC环中合成化学修饰的tRNA.
- 在体内通过脂质纳米颗粒传递Spike mRNA疫苗和tRNA.
主要成果:
- 过度表达特定的tRNA增加了Spike mRNA的稳定性和翻译效率,提高了蛋白质水平的4. 7倍.
- 与未经修改的tRNA相比,化学合成的修改后tRNA的解码效率高4倍,稳定性提高,免疫毒性降低.
- 在体内,mRNA疫苗和tRNA的配合引发了增强的幽默和细胞免疫反应.
结论:
- 这种tRNA-plus策略有效地提高了mRNA的翻译效果.
- 修改后的tRNA提供了更好的解码效率,稳定性和降低的免疫毒性.
