Problems solved by technology

But the role of Bach1 in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation is unclear
[0003] In addition, the culture method of human embryonic stem cells currently mainly uses complex and expensive media, such as mTesR1, etc., in which growth factors and other substances are not easy to obtain, and the production process is complicated

Embodiment 1

[0152] Example 1: Preparation of Bach1 knockout hESC

[0153] 1. Construction of sgRNA

[0154] Bach1-KO hESCs were generated by CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing technology. Use the CRISPR design tool to design sgRNA targeting the genomic region of interest (http: / / crispr.mit.edu / ), perform gene targeting for exon 2 of Bach1, conduct screening, and perform primer synthesis by Shanghai Sunny Company . sgRNA-1 target site sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1): 5'-GAC AGC GGT TCC GCG CTC AC-3' and its reverse complement sequence (SEQ ID NO: 2): 5'-GTG AGCGCG GAA CCG CTG TC-3'.

[0155] Its targeting strategy is as figure 1 D shows.

[0208] Example 2: Generation of Dox-inducible Bach1hESCs using the PiggyBac transposon system

[0209] 1. Construction of hBach1 overexpression plasmid to Piggy Bac transposon system

[0210] 1.1 Amplification of hBach1 target fragment

[0211] 1) Amplify the primers designed according to Table 2.1 to amplify the target fragment of hBach1, and KOD high-efficiency fidelity enzyme according to the PCR system in Table 2.2, and the amplification PCR program is shown in Table 2.3.

[0217]

[0218]

[0219] 2) Mix all the PCR products with 6×Loading Buffer, load all the samples, electrophoresis at 120V for 45min, cut out the target band from the agarose gel according to the size of the target band, and put it into a new 1.5ml EP tube weighing.

[0220] 3) Purify and recover the hBach1 target fragment according to the steps of...

Embodiment 3

[0236] Example 3: Bach1 maintains its stem cell properties in hESCs

[0237] Use Western Blot, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity assay, lentivirus infection, RT-PCR, cell counting, flow cytometry, immunofluorescence method to measure cell growth, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity, and pluripotency Protein levels of factors Sox2, Oct4 and / or Nanog.

[0238] The results showed that Bach1 was expressed in both inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm cells, and suggested that Bach1 and Oct4 colocalized in the ICM cells of mouse blastocysts ( figure 1 B, above). Bach1 is also widely expressed in the endoderm, mesoderm and ectoderm of E7.5 embryos, while T is mainly expressed in the primitive streak region ( figure 1 B, the figure below).

[0239] Bach1 expression was observed in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of undifferentiated hESCs ( figure 1 C). Generation of Bach1 knockout hESCs (Bach1-KO hESCs) by CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing ( figure 1 D), and a schematic diagram of th...

Abstract

The invention relates to a modified Bach1 gene and an application thereof to pluripotency, self-updating, proliferation, reprogramming and differentiation of a stem cell. Due to the modification of the Bach1 gene of a transcription factor, the BACH1 protein activity or expression of the cell is inhibited or increased, and furthermore, the cell interacts with a deubiquitinated protease Usp7, a pluripotent factor Nanog, Sox2 and / or Oct4, a PRC2 complex, a Wnt / beta-catenin signal channel and / or an Nodal / Smad2 / 3 signal channel, so that the self-updating, proliferation and / or differentiation of thestem cell are regulated.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a modified Bach1 gene and its application in regulating stem cell pluripotency, self-renewal, proliferation, reprogramming and / or differentiation. 2. Background technology [0002] The most important feature of stem cells is their ability to self-renew and their potential for multidirectional differentiation. At present, the molecular mechanism regulating the self-renewal and differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (Human Embryonic Stem Cells, hESCs) has not been fully elucidated. In the early stages of embryonic development, epigenetic modifications such as histone modification and chromatin remodeling and the coordinated activities of various signaling pathways in cells play an important role in embryonic development and stem cell differentiation. Transcription factor Bach1 (BTB and CNC homology 1, BTB-CNC homology 1) is a member of the basic leucine zipper pro...
