Problems solved by technology

CRISPR / Ca-s nuclease technology started relatively late and is the easiest to operate, however, its potential integrity issues have not yet been proven
The main advantage of TALENs is that it is not limited by the characteristics of the target sequence, but the TALENs fragment that specifically recognizes the target sequence is too long, which is not conducive to the subsequent loading and expression of the vector, and the introduction of a large number of repetitive sequences into the target cell is also an unknown safety hazard

Abstract

The invention discloses a DNA molecule whose sequence is shown in SEQ ID No: 2, and also discloses the application of the DNA molecule as a target in inhibiting the expression of human bcr-abl fusion gene or causing the loss of human bcr-abl gene function Inhibition of human bcr-abl gene expression or loss of human bcr-abl gene function is brought about by zinc finger nuclease-mediated bcr-abl fusion gene homologous recombination technology. The ZFN plasmid constructed according to the specific target sequence site in the bcr-abl sequence of the present invention can efficiently target the bcr-abl gene to cause a DNA double-strand break, and repair it in an HDR manner so that the bcr-abl is destroyed by mutations such as a frameshift, As a result, the potential for malignant transformation such as promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis was lost, and the feasibility of ZFNs targeting and destroying the bcr-abl gene to kill and inhibit CML cells was confirmed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and specifically relates to a zinc finger nuclease for inhibiting the expression of human bcr-abl fusion gene or causing the function loss of human bcr-abl gene and application thereof. Background technique [0002] The root cause of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the bcr-abl fusion gene formed by c-abl gene and bcr gene due to balanced translocation of t(9;22)(q34;q11). The BCR-ABL fusion protein encoded by the fusion gene has strong tyrosine kinase activity, continuously activates downstream RAS / MAPK, PI3K / AKT, STAT5 and other pro-proliferation and anti-apoptosis signals, leading to malignant transformation of cells. The clinical first-line drug imatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKIs), which can make nearly 70% of CML patients in the chronic phase achieve complete remission of hematology and even genetics. However, in addition 30% of patients are resistant to drugs due to m...
