Embodiment 1
[0279] Example 1: Design and Proliferation of Anti-HBV pri-miR Expression Plasmids
[0280] 1. Design
[0281] By replacing naturally occurring miR-31 (SEQ ID NOs: 1 / 107 / 133) and miR-122 (SEQ ID NOs: 2 / 108 / 134) to design pri-miR expression cassettes. The complete sequence encoding the anti-HBVpri miR sequence is given in SEQ ID NO: 3(135) and 4(136). The wild-type sequences of miRs were maintained as much as possible and the computer-aided prediction of transcript secondary structure [38] would not be significantly different from that of the corresponding wild-type miRs. The final expression cassette contained 51 nucleotides of wild-type sequence flanked by either end of the pre-miR (Zeng and Cullen, 2005). In order to facilitate the cloning of miR, Nhe I and Spe I restriction enzyme sites were introduced at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively. figure 1 A schematic diagram of the target genomic loci of HBV together with the pri-miR expression cassette is shown in . figure ...
Embodiment 2
[0314] Example 2: Intracellular expression of anti-HBV sequences from pTZ-57R / Tpri-miR-31 / 5 and pTZ-57R / Tpri-miR-122 / 5 in transfected cultured cells.
[0315] Cultured cells were transfected with plasmids encoding miR-31 / 5 and miR122 / 5.
[0316] HEK293 cells were propagated in DMEM supplemented with 10% FCS, penicillin (50 IU / ml) and streptomycin (50 μg / ml) (Gibco BRL, UK). One day before transfection, 1,500,000 HEK293 cells were seeded into a petri dish with a diameter of 10 em. Transfection was performed with 10 μg of shRNA- or miR-expressing plasmids using cationic liposomes (Invitrogen, CA, USA) following the supplier's instructions.
[0317] Northern blot analysis. HEK293 cells were harvested 4 days after transfection, and total RNA was extracted using Tri reagent (Sigma, MI, USA) according to the supplier's instructions. 20 μg of RNA was resolved in a urine-denaturing 12.5% polyacrylamide gel and printed on a nylon membrane. Radiolabeled DNA oligonucleotides serve ...
Embodiment 3
[0319] Example 3: Anti-HBV Efficacy Test of miR Sequences in a Cell Culture Model of HBV Replication
[0320] target plasmid. pCH-9 / 3091 was described previously [42]. It contains HBV sequences larger than the length of the genome, which is similar to the HBV Al subgenotype consensus, and a 3.5 kb HBV pregenomic transcript is generated from its CMV promoter. The pCH firefly Luc vector was prepared by replacing the preS2 / SORF of pCH-9 / 3091 with firefly luciferase-encoding DNA following a procedure similar to that used to generate pCHGFP as described previously [43]. Briefly, the firefly luciferase sequence was amplified from psiCheck2 (Promega, WI, USA) by PCR. The primer combination for amplifying the coding region of the firefly luciferase sequence is:
[0321] 5' ACTGCTCGAGGATTGGGGACCCTGCGCTGAACATGGTGAGCAAGGGCG3' (forward; SEQ ID NO: 52);
[0322] and 5'ACGTTCTAGGTATACGGACCGTTACTTGTACAGCTC3' (reverse; SEQ ID NO: 53).
[0323] The forward primer contained a sequence comp...
