Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and biological medicine, and particularly relates to a sequence combination for promoting overexpression of circular RNA and application thereof.
Background
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of non-coding RNA molecules that do not have a5 'terminal cap and a 3' terminal poly (a) tail and form a Circular structure by covalent bonds. Unlike traditional RNAs, circRNAs are produced in a circular transcriptional fashion, are not readily degraded by exonuclease RNaseR, are more stable than linear RNAs, are highly sequence-conserved and have tissue expression differences, and are thus considered to be new tumor detection markers. In 2012, salzman reported about 80 circular RNAs for the first time by the RNA-Seq method, after which a large number of circRNAs molecules were found successively. Up to now reports have found that the main functions of 4 circular RNAs, namely the cavernous body of miRNA, regulation of in vitro transcription and variable cleavage, regulation of RNA binding proteins and direct translation into proteins, respectively, are vital regulatory functions in the life process of cells due to their wide range of biological functions.
Because the expression vector has important biological functions, the over-expression technology in cells becomes a key problem which needs to be solved by researchers at first, the over-expression quantity of the annular RNA of the existing annular RNA over-expression technology is generally low, and CN113278635B discloses an annular RNA over-expression technology which has high and stable expression efficiency and can be applied to various expression systems; but its looping efficiency is low. Therefore, how to provide a method for expressing a circular RNA molecule with stable expression efficiency and high cyclization efficiency has been a problem to be solved.
