Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to a novel gene editing system for mediating A to C mutation or T to G mutation in mammals and its application. Background Art
[0002] The essence of human genetic diseases is gene mutation. About 60% of genetic diseases are caused by single base mutations. The traditional homologous recombination mediated by genome editing technology is very inefficient (0.1%-5%) to correct such genetic diseases. [1,2] The single-base editor derived from the CRISPR system is an emerging high-efficiency base editing technology in recent years. It has shown great application prospects in basic research and clinical disease treatment due to its advantages such as no DNA double-strand breaks, no need for recombination templates, and high-efficiency editing.
[0003] Classic base editors are mainly divided into cytosine base editors (CBE) and adenine base editors (ABE). The former is composed of the activity-impaired spCas9n from Streptococcus pyogenes, rat-derived cytosine deaminase rAPOBEC1 and uracil glycosidase inhibitor. The Cas9 protein recognizes and specifically binds to DNA with NGG as PAM, and then, under the action of deaminase and DNA repair, it finally achieves C·GT·A replacement within 20bp of the upstream target sequence of NGG (positions 21-23). The editing window is mainly located at positions 4-8. [2] , which is expected to correct 14% of human pathogenic point mutations; the latter is to fuse the bacterial TadA with spCas9, and with the assistance of directed evolution and protein engineering transformation technology, after 7 rounds of evolution, it finally obtained the adenine base editor ABE7.10 that can act on single-stranded DNA. The active editing region is mainly located at positions 4-7. The average editing efficiency of A·TG·C caused by this system in human cells is about 53%, which is much higher than the efficiency of base mutation mediated by homologous recombination. The purity of its product is as high as 99.9% and the occurrence of extremely low indels (insertions and deletions) is very low. [3] More importantly, about 47% of human pathogenic point mutations are caused by mutations from C·G to T·A, and adenine base editors are expected to correct nearly half of the pathogenic point mutations. [1] , showing its great potential in mutation base modification and genetic disease treatment. Currently, ABE has been widely used in animal model preparation. [4-8] and gene therapy [9-14] .
[0004] Both CBE and ABE can only achieve base conversion. In the early process of developing CBE, scientists found that knocking out intracellular uracil glycosidase (UNG) or removing cytosine glycosidase inhibitor (UGI) would produce C·G-to-G·C and C·G-to-A·T editing byproducts, that is, C-based transversion occurs. [3,15] Recently, based on the phenomenon of editing byproducts produced by previous CBEs, scientists have developed a series of CGBEs by fusing CBEs with UGI removed with different types of UNG, DNA damage repair proteins or trans-damage polymerases. [16-19] , which is expected to treat the 11% pathogenic point mutation of G·C to C·G.
[0005] However, there is no reported enzyme that can directly catalyze adenine (A) in genomic DNA to cytosine (C), and the reverse strand is cytosine (T) to guanine (G). Human pathogenic point mutations (SNVs) that require A to C or T to G to correct account for 16%, and C to A or G to T pathogenic point mutations are also the second most common pathogenic SNVs, which is beyond the range of diseases that can be covered by classic CBE.

[0068] 3. Transcription of working system mRNA (ACBE2Q)
[0069] In vitro RNA transcription kit (mMESSAGE The T7 template of ACBE2Q obtained by PCR (Table 2) was used for in vitro transcription using the PCR Ultra Kit to obtain the working system mRNA, which was then purified.
[0070] 4. Preparation of Microinjection Mixture
[0071] The injection mixture was prepared with nuclease-free water to obtain a total volume of 20 μL, a mixture of working system mRNA (containing (ACBE2Q mRNA) at a final concentration of 100 ng / μL) and sgRNA (DMD-splice sg7) at a final concentration of 200 ng / μL.
[0072] Example 2: Editing germ cells in vitro
[0073] 1. Collection of 1-cell embryos
[0074] (1) Day 1: 100 μL (5 IU) of PMSG working solution was intraperitoneally injected into 6-8 week old female donor mice between 1 and 2 pm.
[0075] (2) Day 3: 100 μL (5 IU) of hCG working solution was injected into the abdominal cavity of the PMSG-injected female mice between 2 and 4 p.m. After the injection, the hormone-treated female mice were placed in cages with male mice aged 10 to 14 weeks. At the same time, the female mice in estrus who had not been treated with hormones were mated with sterilized male mice at around 4 p.m. to prepare pseudo-pregnant female mice.
[0076] (3) Day 4: Before 9 a.m., check whether the recipient female mice that were caged with the sterilized male mice have pregnancy plugs. The female mice with pregnancy plugs were placed in a new cage for the embryo transfer experiment in the afternoon.
[0077] (4) The superovulated donor mouse was killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, and the oviduct was removed and placed in a plate. Preheated M2 culture medium was added to the plate.
[0078] (5) Place the fallopian tube in another new dish, add preheated M2 medium and hyaluronic acid to the dish, and the volume ratio of M2 medium to hyaluronic acid is 9:1. Under a stereo microscope, use a tweezer to pull the ampulla of the fallopian tube to release the embryo from the fallopian tube into the dish. Incubate the embryo in M2 medium with hyaluronic acid until the cumulus cells fall off. After removing the cumulus cells, transfer the embryo to a new dish, add M2 medium without hyaluronic acid to the dish, and repeatedly rinse the embryo with M2 medium to rinse the hyaluronic acid and cumulus cells clean.
[0079] (6) Transfer the rinsed embryos to a new dish, add a few drops of KSOM medium to the dish, and then slowly add mineral oil to the dish so that the KSOM medium is separated and covered by the mineral oil. Generally speaking, in a 35 mm dish, 6 spots of KSOM medium can be added, each spot is 50 μL. Put 50 embryos as a group and first place them in the middle KSOM medium spot for rinsing, and then transfer them to a new medium spot. Before microinjection, incubate the removed embryos in M2 medium in the cell culture incubator.
[0080] 2. Microinjection and embryo transfer
[0081] (1) Prepare the fixation needle, injection needle and siliconized glass slide. Place a drop of M2 medium covered with mineral oil in the middle of the slide.
[0082] (2) The injection needle is allowed to automatically absorb and fill with the microinjection mixture prepared in step 4 of Example 1 by capillary action, and the injection needle is loaded onto the fixed handle of the microinjection instrument.
[0083] (3) Transfer 50 embryos to the M2 medium on the slide, move the fixation needle close to the embryo, and fix the embryo on the fixation needle by negative pressure. After the embryo is fixed, find the cytoplasm under a high-power microscope, push the tip of the injection needle through the zona pellucida and cell membrane, and inject the mixed solution into the cytoplasm of the embryo.
[0084] (4) Transfer the injected embryonic cells to a new M2 culture medium. Repeat steps (3) and (4) until all embryos have been injected. After injecting one experimental group, transfer the embryos to a new KSOM culture medium and place the embryos in a cell culture incubator for 1-2 hours or overnight. After all embryos have been injected, exclude embryos that died due to mechanical damage and transfer healthy embryos to a new KSOM culture medium.
[0085] (5) Inject 600 μL of Avertin into the peritoneal cavity of the pseudopregnant mouse to anesthetize it. Use a shaver to shave the hair on the back of the mouse. Use 70% ethanol to wipe the shaved skin.
[0086] (6) Make a small cut at the location of the ovary, use blunt-tipped forceps to pull the ovarian fat pad to pull the ovary out, and at the same time use hemostats to fix the ovary on the outside. Use blunt-tipped forceps to find the funnel-shaped opening of the fallopian tube located on the lower side of the ovarian sac.
[0087] (7) Allow the transfer needle to absorb M2 culture medium, two small bubbles, and about 15 embryos in sequence. The bubbles are to facilitate observation of the position of the embryos in the transfer needle.
[0088] (8) Gently open the ovarian sac, locate the funnel-shaped opening of the fallopian tube with forceps, extend the transfer needle to the opening of the ovary, then eject the embryo from the transfer needle and gently withdraw the transfer needle.
[0089] (9) Release the hemostatic clamp that fixes the ovarian fat pad, put the ovary back into its original cavity, and suture the muscle opening and skin opening respectively with sutures.
[0090] (10) Place the post-operative mice on a warming table at 37 degrees. After the mice regain consciousness, transfer them to a feeding cage and wait for the embryo to develop until delivery. Generally speaking, the mother mice with successful transplantation give birth to mice after 3 weeks.
[0091] Example 3: Identification of single base editing effects
[0092] 1. Mouse genome identification
[0093] Example 2 After successful transplantation, mice were born with their toes cut for genome identification around 10-15 days after birth. The specific steps were as follows:
[0094] 1.1. Genome extraction
[0095] ① Cut the toes and put them into 1.5mL centrifuge tubes. Add 500μL of toe digestion solution prepared at a ratio of proteinase K: tissue lysis solution = 1:500 to each tube and place in a 55℃ water bath overnight;
[0096] ② Take out the toes that have been digested overnight, place them at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, invert thoroughly to mix, and centrifuge at 13000rpm for 15 minutes.
[0097] ③ Aspirate 400 μL of supernatant from each tube, add an equal volume of chloroform, mix thoroughly until the DNA is precipitated, and centrifuge at 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes.
[0098] ④ Add 200 μL of 75% alcohol pre-cooled in a -20°C refrigerator to each tube, mix gently, centrifuge at 12000 rpm at 4°C for 5 min, discard the supernatant, and dry in a clean workbench.
[0099] ⑤ Add 50-100 μL of deionized ultrapure water according to the amount of DNA, dissolve at 55℃ for 2 hours and it can be used as a PCR template.
[0100] 1.2 Genome identification
[0101] According to the primer pair F / R of the target DMD-splice sg7 in Table 1, the DNA fragment containing the target was obtained, and the double peak was confirmed by first-generation sequencing, and then high-throughput deep sequencing was performed to obtain the editing efficiency. According to the high-throughput results, a total of 32 F0 mice ( Figure 2), 30 F0s mutated, 21 F0s mutated from A to C at the splicing site, accounting for 70% of the mutant F0s, and the average efficiency of A to C mutations at the splicing site was 56.1% ( Figure 3 ).
[0102] 1.3 Phenotypic identification of DMD mutant mice
[0103] The cells from 5-week-old wild-type mice (blank control) and the A to C mutant mice (#D02) identified above at the splicing site of the DMD gene were subjected to immunohistochemical detection as follows:
[0104] Take the tibialis anterior muscle of the mouse and rinse it with alcohol and PBS. Put it in a small cube box covered with OTC glue, put it in an isopentane beaker, freeze it in liquid nitrogen, take it out for about 30 seconds, store it at -20℃, and then perform frozen sections. Wash the prepared sections with PBST 3 times / 5min, draw oil circles at the tissue position, add blocking solution for blocking, and after blocking for 1h, incubate overnight with laminin primary antibody or dystrophin primary antibody (using 1:500 diluted primary rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab11575) or primary rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab15277)). The sections were washed 3 times / 5 min with PBST, then incubated with 1:1000 anti-rabbit secondary antibody for 2 h, washed 3 times / 5 min with PBST, incubated with 1:100 diluted DAPI for 10 min, washed 3 times / 5 min with PBST, added with anti-quenching agent, covered with a coverslip, sealed with nail polish, and the fluorescence of the sections was observed under a fluorescence microscope.
[0105] The results showed that compared with wild-type mice, the ACBE2Q-treated group (#D02) affected the expression of dystrophin ( Figure 4 ), which also proves that the DMD animal disease model was successfully constructed.
[0106] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to help those skilled in the art understand the essence of the present invention and are not used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
