Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of molecular biology and genetic engineering, and more specifically, to sgRNAs targeting the chicken CD30 gene, their combinations, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Marek's disease (MD) in chickens is a contagious, neoplastic disease caused by Marek's disease virus (MDV) of the Herpesviridae family. It has significant economic and scientific value, causing $1-2 billion in economic losses globally annually. MD is used as an important model for studying virus-induced lymphoma. MD leads to the proliferation of lymphoid cells in chickens, resulting in T-cell lymphoma. Chicken Marek's disease lymphoma is a natural animal model of lymphoma with high CD30 gene expression; high CD30 expression is a marker of lymphocyte-tumor transformation.
[0003] CD30 is member 8 of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, namely TNFRSF8. Its encoded protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein involved in immune regulation and cell signal transduction, playing a crucial role in immune regulation and tumorigenesis. CD30 is mainly expressed in activated T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. Through its ligands CD30L (CD153, TNFSF8), it activates downstream signaling pathways, such as the NF-κB and MAPK pathways, thereby regulating cell proliferation, survival, or apoptosis. In normal lymphocytes, CD30 can both promote cell proliferation and induce cell death; however, in malignant lymphoma cells, CD30 expression exhibits a unidirectional regulatory characteristic that promotes proliferation, which may be closely related to cell carcinogenesis.
[0004] Meq, the proto-oncogene of Marek's virus (MDV), is the most important oncogene of MDV. It forms homodimers or heterodimers with other transcription factors, such as c-JUN and c-FOS, playing a crucial role in the development of MDV-induced T-cell lymphoma. Meq expression is positively correlated with CD30 expression; cells with high CD30 expression in lymphoma also highly express the Meq gene. MDV-resistant chickens infected with MDV can produce CD30-specific antibodies, suggesting that CD30 may be involved in tumor immune escape, promoting viral latency and tumorigenesis. To further clarify the role of CD30 in the development of Marek's disease in chickens, it is urgent to establish an efficient CD30 gene knockout cell model to study the role of CD30 in the development and transformation of Marek's disease in chickens. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide sgRNAs targeting the chicken CD30 gene, their combinations, and applications.
[0006] The CD30 gene, a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, is an important target in lymphoma treatment. It is highly expressed in classical Hodgkin lymphoma cells and is a core indicator for pathological diagnosis. CD30 plays a crucial role in the biological functions of both normal and malignant lymphocytes, but its specific mechanisms in lymphocyte generation are not fully understood. Marek's disease (MD) in chickens is an infectious, neoplastic disease in birds and is used as an important model for studying virus-induced lymphoma. Marek's disease lymphoma is a natural animal model of lymphoma with high CD30 gene expression. The Marek's disease virus proto-oncogene Meq can significantly increase the transcriptional level of CD30, and high CD30 expression plays an important role in maintaining the growth and proliferation of tumor cells. Therefore, this invention provides a combination of sgRNAs for targeting and knocking out the seventh exon region (transmembrane region) of the chicken CD30 gene, the nucleotide sequences of which are shown in SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2. Targeting the sgRNA knockout site of chicken CD30, CD30 knockout DF-1 cells were prepared by transfecting the cells into the chicken fibroblast cell line DF-1. - / - DF-1 cells, compared with control cells, showed increased CD30 levels. - / - The extremely low expression level of CD30 in DF-1 cells indicates that CD30 editing was successful. - / - The establishment of the DF-1 cell line provides experimental materials for in-depth research on the function of CD30.
[0007] In order to achieve the objective of the present invention, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an sgRNA that targets the chicken CD30 gene, which is sgRNA1 or sgRNA2. The nucleotide sequence of the sgRNA1 action site is: 5'-AGAGACCAAGAGAAGGCAGA (SEQ ID NO:1)-(AGG)-3'; where AGG is a PAM sequence.
[0008] The nucleotide sequence of the sgRNA2 action site is: 5'-AGGTCTTGTTTTCTGGGCAG (SEQ ID NO:2)-(TGG)-3'; where TGG is a PAM sequence.
[0009] Secondly, the present invention provides a combination of sgRNAs targeting the chicken CD30 gene, consisting of sgRNA1 and sgRNA2.
[0010] Thirdly, the present invention provides a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding the sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 or a combination of the sgRNAs.
[0011] Furthermore, the nucleic acid construct also contains a nucleic acid sequence encoding the Cas protein.
[0012] Fourthly, the present invention provides a biological material comprising the sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 or a combination of the sgRNAs, or comprising the nucleic acid construct; The biological materials include, but are not limited to, expression cassettes, transposons, plasmid vectors, viral vectors, engineered bacteria, or transgenic cell lines.
[0013] Fifthly, the present invention provides a host cell, the host cell comprising the sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 or a combination of the sgRNAs, or comprising the nucleic acid construct; The host cell is a chicken-derived cell, preferably the chicken fibroblast cell line DF-1.
[0014] In a sixth aspect, the present invention provides a method for editing the chicken CD30 gene in vitro, comprising introducing the sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 or a combination of the sgRNAs, or introducing the nucleic acid construct into cells; The editing resulted in a decrease in the expression level or functional activity of the CD30 protein encoded by the chicken CD30 gene.
[0015] In a seventh aspect, the present invention provides the application of the sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 or the combination of the sgRNAs, or the nucleic acid construct, or the biological material or the host cell in the preparation of cell models or animal models for studying the function of the chicken CD30 gene.
[0016] Eighthly, the present invention provides a kit for editing the chicken CD30 gene, comprising the sgRNA1 or sgRNA2 or a combination of the sgRNAs, or the nucleic acid construct.
[0017] By employing the above technical solution, the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects: (i) This invention designs multiple sgRNAs simultaneously from a segment of the chicken CD30 gene. By detecting the targeting cleavage efficiency of a single sgRNA and a combination of sgRNAs, it is determined that a combination of sgRNAs can achieve more efficient gene targeting.
[0018] (II) This invention utilizes a PX459 vector containing the Cas9 sequence, a pGL3-gRNA-mCherry vector containing sgRNA, and a pcWXL-EG-CD30-FP vector linked with the target gene CD30 target sequence. Cells are co-transfected with multiple plasmids, and the percentage of cells simultaneously expressing red and green fluorescence is analyzed to identify the gene targeting efficiency and the most efficient sgRNA. The mCherry fluorescence (emitting red fluorescence) in the pGL3-gRNA-mCherry vector can mark positive cells successfully transfected with this vector. The pcWXL-EG-CD30-FP vector contains a CD30 targeting sequence of sgRNA, which is inserted between EGFP sequences. By co-transfecting cells with this vector and the pGL3-gRNA-mCherry vector, the success of sgRNA targeting can be determined by observing EGFP expression. This means that the sgRNA successfully cleaves the target sequence of the CD30 gene on the vector, resulting in the EG and FP fragments on the vector being linked into a complete EGFP sequence that expresses green fluorescence. This allows for a more direct and convenient detection of the sgRNA cleavage efficiency.
[0019] (III) This invention designs a vector CD30 donor-EGFP containing CD30 homologous arms (containing upstream (LA) and downstream (RA) homologous arms of the CD30 gene target sequence, with an exogenous fragment hPGK-EGFP-T2A-PuroR connected between the upstream and downstream homologous arms; EGFP is expressed by an independent exogenous promoter hPGK and emits green fluorescence), CD30 The donor-mCherry vector (containing upstream (LA) and downstream (RA) homologous arms of the CD30 gene target sequence, with the exogenous fragment hPGK-mCherry-T2A-PuroR connected between the upstream and downstream homologous arms; mCherry is expressed by an independent exogenous promoter hPGK and emits red fluorescence) integrates the sequences in the upstream and downstream homologous arms into the chicken CD30 genome through homologous recombination of the CD30 homologous arms in the vector. This replaces the original CD30 targeting region with hPGK-EGFP-T2A-PuroR or hPGK-mCherry-T2A-PuroR, thereby achieving the integration of hPGK-EGFP-T2A-PuroR and hPGK-mCherry-T2A-PuroR markers into the chicken genome. In this way, cells that emit both green and red fluorescence are those whose CD30 biallelic genes have been replaced by elements on the CD30 donor plasmid, while cells that emit only green or red fluorescence are those whose CD30 monollelic genes have been replaced. By detecting green and red fluorescence using flow cytometry, successfully transfected and edited cells can be sorted, improving the efficiency of subsequent screening and culture of positive cells.
[0020] (iv) This invention utilizes the large exogenous sequence in the CD30 donor-EGFP and CD30 donor-mCherry vectors to integrate into the chicken CD30 genome through homologous recombination, thereby disrupting the normal CD30 coding sequence. The CD30 gene is knocked out by replacing the CD30 targeting region with elements on the CD30 donor plasmid. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art, and the raw materials used are all commercially available products.
[0033] Example 1: sgRNA Design This embodiment provides a method for designing sgRNAs targeting the seventh exon region of the chicken CD30 gene, as detailed below: 1.

[0041] The enzyme was digested at 37℃ for 2 hours. After digestion, 10 μL of 6× DNA loading buffer was added to the digested product and subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. The linearized vector was recovered using a gel recovery kit (Tiangen).
[0042] The sgRNA-linearized vector ligation system is shown in Table 3: Table 3. sgRNA-linearized vector ligation system
[0043] Incubate at 16℃ for 2 hours.
[0044] Linkage product transformation: (1) Take 10 μL of the ligation product and add it to 50 μL of DH5α competent cells. Place on ice for 30 min. (2) Heat shock at 45℃ for 30 seconds; (3) Place on ice for 3 minutes; (4) Add 800 μL of ampicillin-free liquid LB medium and shake on a shaker at 37°C for 1 h; (5) Spread 100 μL of bacterial culture onto a solid LB agar plate containing ampicillin and incubate at 37°C for 15 h. (5) Pick a single clone and place it in 30 ml of liquid LB containing ampicillin. Incubate in a shaker at 37°C for 15 h. Extract the plasmid using an endotoxin-free plasmid extraction kit (Tiangen) and perform Sanger sequencing.
[0045] 4. Transfection of 293T cells with multiple plasmid combinations to verify sgRNA cleavage efficiency. The pGL3-CD30 gRNA1 / 2-mCherry plasmid and the PX459 vector (as shown in the image) were used. Figure 3 (as shown), pcWXL-EG-CD30-FP vector (spectrum as shown) Figure 4 As shown), according to the instructions of Lipofectamine 3000, it was transfected into 293T cells. Among them, the PX459 vector was kindly provided by Professor Li Juan's laboratory at Sichuan University. Reference: Genome engineering using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Ran FA, Hsu PD, Wright J, Agarwala V, Scott DA, Zhang F. Nat Protoc. 2013 Nov;8(11):2281-308; The pcWXL-EG-CD30-FP plasmid was obtained by modifying the pcDNA3.1(+) vector. First, the pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid was digested with the restriction endonuclease BamHI. After recovering the digestion product, the pcDNA3.1(+) plasmid was then... Figure 4The expression elements were constructed into the pcDNA3.1(+) vector via homologous recombination. The pcDNA3.1(+) vector was purchased from Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Reference: Hou L, Hou J, Yao J, Zhou Z. Effects of osteoprotegerin from transfection of pcDNA3.1(+) / chOPG on bioactivity of chicken osteoclasts. Acta Vet Scand. 2011 Mar 24;53(1):21.)

Using EGFP fluorescent labeling on the pcWXL-EG-CD30-FP vector, the cleavage efficiency of sgRNA can be directly, conveniently, and accurately assessed (fluorescence results are shown in the figure). Figure 5 (As shown in the figure). From the above experimental results, it can be seen that green fluorescence can be observed in all three sets of results, that is, sgRNA1, sgRNA2 and sgRNA combination can all achieve cleavage and targeting effects, but obviously the green fluorescence efficiency is higher when sgRNA combination is effective, indicating that sgRNA combination has the highest cleavage efficiency.
