Embodiment 1

[0044] 1. Construction of Neuritin gene lentiviral expression vector

[0045] (1) Digestion of lentiviral expression vector and target gene

[0046] The vector pLenO-RIP (purchased from Addgene) was digested with Not I and Mlu I, and the digested vector was used for vector construction. Using the cDNA clone of the CDS region of the NRN1 gene as a template, the NRN1 gene fragment was amplified by PCR, and the product was digested with Not I and Mlu I, and the vector and target gene DNA were recovered after identification by agarose gel electrophoresis.

[0047] (2) Ligation reaction

[0048]The digested lentiviral vector and the PCR product of the NRN1 gene were ligated according to the reaction system in Table 1.

[0049] Table 1: Ligation reaction system

[0050]

[0051] After the above reagents were mixed, they were ligated at 4°C for 12 hours to prepare the cloning ligation solution for transformation.

[0052] (3) Transformation, identification of picked clones

Embodiment 2

[0066] 1. Culture and induction of RGC5 differentiation

[0067] RGC5 is the retinal ganglion cell line of a rat born one day old (see [20] Krishnamoorthy RR, Agarwal P, Prasanna G, et al. Characterization of a transformed retina ganglion cell line. Brain Res Mol Brain Res. 2001; 86 (1-2):1-12.), immature, first induced by staurosporine to differentiate into mature neuron-like cells ( figure 1 ). RGC5 before induction was cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium and 5% serum in a place containing 5% CO 2 , in an incubator at 37°C, and the cells were passaged once a day. When used, 326nM staurosporine was used to induce for 24 hours.

[0068] 2. Overexpression of Neuritin gene and establishment of RGC5 injury model

[0069] When RGC5 is cultured to 80% confluence, add a suitable amount of lentivirus and a certain amount of polybrene at a pre-measured concentration, replace it with normal medium after 24 hours, and observe the expression of RFP with a fluorescence microscope aft...

Embodiment 3

[0081] 1. In vivo transfection of retinal ganglion cells with lentivirus and overexpression of Neuritin

[0082]The neuritin lentivirus was injected into the vitreous body, and the mice were perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde one week later. The retinal slices were taken, and immunohistochemical βⅢ-tubulin staining or cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) injection of co-localized retinal ganglion cells were used to observe the transformation. Transfection effect, the transfection efficiency is about 20-30% (such as Figure 7 shown).

[0083] Western blot and immunohistochemical methods were used to observe the overexpression and expression localization of Neuritin protein after Neuritin lentivirus transfection.

[0084] 2. Establishment of Optic Nerve Injury Model

[0085] The present invention adopts the optic nerve crush model, and uses Yasargil cerebral aneurysm clip to clip the optic nerve of adult male rats about 1 mm behind the eyeball and wound for 9 seconds. For specific ope...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering and nerve injuries. Optic nerve injuries are a lot of eye diseases and eye traumas, the optic nerve atrophy and blindness of patients can be caused when optic nerve injuries are severe, and at present, the clinical practical curative effect is not satisfactory. The research of the invention finds that the Neurithin gene is related to optic nerve injury repair, so the invention provides a Neurithin gene-carrying lentivirus vector and a construction method thereof and also further provides the application of the Neurithin gene-carrying lentivirus vector in the preparation of medicines for treating and repairing optic nerve injuries.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering and nerve injury, and in particular relates to a lentivirus carrying Neuritin gene and its application in repairing optic nerve injury. Background technique [0002] Optic nerve injury is a common link of many eye diseases and traumas, such as glaucoma, optic nerve ischemia, blunt trauma, optic canal fracture, etc., leading to visual function damage, and in severe cases, it will cause optic nerve atrophy and blindness in patients. Although a lot of research work has been carried out on the treatment of optic nerve injury, its clinical efficacy is unsatisfactory, and it is difficult to restore vision to patients according to the current medical technology level. The low intrinsic regenerative ability of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is the key factor for optic nerve atrophy and blindness caused by regeneration failure after optic nerve injury. How to carry out effective reversal therapy...
