The term includes, but is not limited to, single-stranded, double-stranded or multi-stranded DNA or RNA, genomic DNA, cDNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, or polymers comprising purine and/or pyrimidine bases or other natural, chemical, biochemical, non-natural, synthetic or derivatized nucleotide bases. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid may comprise a mixture of DNA, RNA, and the like. The term also encompasses nucleic acids containing known analogs of natural nucleotides that have similar binding properties as the reference nucleic acid and are metabolized in a manner similar to naturally occurring nucleotides. "nucleic acid" is used interchangeably with "gene," "DNA," and "mRNA" encoded by a gene.
As used herein, the term "mRNA (messenger RNA)" refers to any polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide or protein of interest and capable of in vitro, in vivo, in situ, or ex vivo translation to produce the encoded polypeptide of interest.
As used herein, the term "CDS (Coding sequence, coding region or Coding sequence)" is a sequence that encodes a polypeptide or protein product that, when expressed, produces a polypeptide or protein.
As used herein, the term "identity" refers to the ratio of mismatched nucleotides to the total number of nucleotides in a homologous region in percent. For example, a 20 base oligonucleotide that hybridizes to a region (site) of homology in a target genome that has two mismatches is said to have 90% identity to that region.
As used herein, the term "5'utr" generally refers to a sequence of an mRNA molecule from the 5' end to the translation initiation codon that is capable of recruiting a ribosomal complex and initiating translation of the mRNA. The 5'UTR comprises the 5' UTR region structure on the mRNA or the structure corresponds to the coding sequence on the DNA template. The 5' utr regulates post-transcriptional modification, translation initiation complex formation, stability, and the like by interacting with transcription factors, ribosomes, and other transcriptional regulatory proteins. The sequence design and optimization of this region is critical to improving the efficiency of post-transcriptional modification and protein expression. As used herein, the terms "5'utr structure", "5' utr sequence", and "5'utr element", etc. are used interchangeably, and reference in this disclosure to a 5' utr sequence has a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of a nucleotide sequence selected from one of SEQ ID NOs 16-18 or a complement thereof, or a nucleotide sequence having at least 80% identity to a nucleotide sequence selected from one of SEQ ID NOs 16-18 or a complement thereof.
As used herein, the term "3' utr" refers to a sequence between a stop codon of a polypeptide coding sequence and a poly (a) sequence in an mRNA. The 3' utr may regulate translation of mRNA by interacting with mRNA binding proteins, mirnas, and the like. The 3'UTR comprises the 3' UTR region structure on the mRNA or the structure corresponds to the coding sequence on the DNA template. It is closely related to post-transcriptional modification and mRNA stability.

As used herein, the term "poly-A region" or "poly-A sequence" is intended to include the structure of the poly-A region on an mRNA or the structure corresponding to a coding sequence on a DNA template. The addition of poly-A sequences aids in the stability and transport of mRNA, prevents its degradation, and plays an important role in post-transcriptional modification. The poly (poly-A) region sequence may be a continuous strand of pure adenine nucleotides or may contain non-adenine nucleotides. In any form, a sequence is considered a poly (A) sequence so long as it is functionally equivalent to a conventional poly (A) sequence, i.e., is capable of providing a biological function similar to that of a conventional poly (A) sequence, such as affecting mRNA stability, translation efficiency, ribosome binding, etc. This includes, but is not limited to, known variants such as the human growth hormone (hGH) poly (A) sequence and the monkey virus 40 (SV 40) poly (A) sequence, which variants may differ in nucleotide composition but are functionally identified as equivalent to the conventional poly (A) sequence.

As used herein, the term "5 'cap structure" is meant to include 5' cap structures found on natural mRNA and analogs thereof. The 5 'cap structure on natural mRNA is the attachment of the nail-methylated guanylic acid to the 5' terminal nucleotide of the RNA via pyrophosphate, forming a 5',5' -triphosphate linkage (5 ',5' -triphosphate linkage). The 5' Cap structure is typically of three types (m 7G5' ppp5' Np, m7G5' ppp5' NmpNp, m7G5' ppp5' NmpNmpNp), designated Cap0, cap1 and Cap2, respectively. Cap0 refers to the ribose unmethylation of the terminal nucleotide, cap1 refers to the ribose methylation of the terminal one nucleotide, and Cap2 refers to the ribose homomethylation of the terminal two nucleotides. Methods for capping mRNA molecules are known in the art. The 5 'cap structure of the aforementioned mRNA molecules may be added by enzymatic reaction after the mRNA molecules have been obtained by chemical synthesis or in vitro transcription (e.g., by commercial kits comprising vaccinia capping enzyme and mRNA cap structure 2' -O-methyltransferase). However, mRNA with a cap structure can also be produced by incorporating a nucleotide analogue with a cap structure as the first nucleotide directly into the transcript during in vitro transcription.
As used herein, the term "chemically modified" or "chemically modified" refers to modification of one or more of the position, pattern, percentage or population of adenosine (a), guanosine (G), uridine (U) or cytidine (C) ribonucleosides or deoxyribonucleosides. In this context, these terms are not intended to refer to ribonucleotide modifications in the naturally occurring 5' cap structure.

Mu.L of medium per well.
MRNA (see tables 1 and 2 for mRNA information) was transfected 24h later using Lipofectamine MessengerMAX (brand: sieimer, cat# LMRNA; lot # 2646532) in combination with Opti-MEM (brand: sieimer, cat# 31985070; lot # 2508952) and co-transfected 500ng of mRNA (i.e., PCCA 284 ng, PCCB 214 ng) at a molar ratio of 1:1. The negative control ctrl group was not transfected with mRNA. The single well transfection system was as follows:
25 mu L of Opti-MEM+1.5 mu L Lipofectamine MessengerMAX, and standing for 5min at room temperature;
25 mu L of Opti-MEM+500ng mRNA, and standing for 5min at room temperature;
A+B stands for 20min at room temperature.
The mixed transfection solution was added slowly in an amount of 50. Mu.L to 450. Mu.L of opti-MEM, and after thoroughly mixing, the mixture was dropped into the culture plate, and after 4 hours, the transfection medium was removed, and 1mL of complete medium was added to continue the culture.
Samples of 48H, 96H and 144H after transfection were collected, 1 well was lysed by adding 500. Mu.L of lysis solution (RIPA (high): PMSF: cocktail=100:1:4), and protein expression was measured using a BCA kit (brand: bioTek; model: SYNERGY H1) using PCCA and PCCB ELISA kits (PCCA ELISA KIT (brand: abbexa Ltd; brand: abx585094; lot: E2212484W)), PCCB ELISA kit (brand: wuhan feen; brand: EH0800; lot: H0800I 072P)) after quantifying the total protein concentration using a BCA kit (brand: biyun day; brand: P0009; lot: 092822221121), and using an enzyme-labeled instrument (brand: bioTek; model: SYNERGY H1), see Table 2.
