Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of genetic engineering and biomedicine, specifically to the construction of mutant strains of Citrobacter freundii deaminase-related genes and the application of the deaminase-related genes in the preparation of diagnostic agents for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, as well as the application of mutant strains of Citrobacter freundii deaminase-related genes in the treatment of multiple myeloma or relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Background Technology
[0002] Multiple myeloma (MM) is a terminally differentiated malignant clonal disease of plasma cells, characterized by clonal plasma cell infiltration in the bone marrow and the presence of monoclonal M protein in peripheral blood and / or urine. According to the 2018 Global Cancer Report, its incidence rate is 0.41% of all human cancers. Contributing factors include aging and environmental factors. It is more common in the elderly, and its incidence is showing a trend of increasing annually with the growing elderly population.
[0003] Engineered bacteria are novel microorganisms processed using modern bioengineering techniques, characterized by multifunctionality, high efficiency, and strong adaptability. Current research indicates that imbalances in gut microbiota homeostasis promote the development of various diseases. For example, specific bacterial communities enriched in the gut of cancer patients promote tumor cell proliferation and induce drug resistance by encoding specific metabolites or small molecules. By using homologous recombination technology to replace genes encoded by key microorganisms, it is possible to obtain microorganisms without tumor-promoting effects, thereby restoring the gut microbiota balance in cancer patients. This provides direction for novel targeted cancer therapies and has broad application prospects.
[0004] This invention discovered that the RNA level of the deaminase-related gene in *Citrobacter freundii* (CFr) is increased in the intestines of patients with relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (MM), and this result was also confirmed in in vivo animal experiments. Subsequently, we constructed a genetically engineered mutant strain of *Citrobacter freundii* with the deaminase-related gene, and through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we confirmed that the deletion of the *Citrobacter freundii* deaminase-related gene resulted in the production of NH4+. +Furthermore, this invention colonized the successfully constructed genetically engineered bacteria into the intestines of MM mice and treated the mice with bortezomib (BTZ), a first-line clinical drug. It was found that compared to the combined treatment of *Citrobacter freundii* and BTZ, the combination of the genetically engineered bacteria and BTZ significantly reduced the tumor burden in mice and alleviated BTZ resistance induced by *Citrobacter freundii*. Therefore, the *Citrobacter freundii* deaminase-related gene can serve as a biomarker for predicting and diagnosing relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma patients, and the genetically engineered *Citrobacter freundii* deaminase-related gene mutant bacteria can serve as a novel treatment for multiple myeloma and relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma patients, providing important guidance for neoadjuvant therapy in clinical practice.

[0047] Example 1: Collection, preservation, and RNA extraction of fecal samples from newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients and relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma patients, as well as cecal contents from mice.
[0048] In this embodiment, adhering to relevant ethical requirements, stool samples were obtained from 10 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (AD) patients and 10 relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma (RM) patients. All specimens were sourced from Xiangya Hospital affiliated with Central South University. All multiple myeloma patients were diagnosed with the disease by testing for serum monoclonal immunoglobulin type and bone marrow plasma cell ratio. The diagnostic criteria for relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma patients followed the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Myeloma in China" (2020 revision). All patients' initial treatment regimens were based on bortezomib as the primary therapy. The age, sex, and body mass index of healthy donors were matched with those of the multiple myeloma patients to exclude microbiological differences caused by these factors.
[0049] After obtaining fresh fecal samples from MM patients or mice, place them in sterile cryovials, immediately flash-freeze them in liquid nitrogen, and then store them at -80°C for long-term storage. For anal swab samples, place them directly in sterile cryovials, immediately flash-freeze them in liquid nitrogen, and then store them at -80°C for long-term storage.
[0050] Total microbial RNA was extracted from fecal samples using the Magen HiPure Stool RNA Kit (R4185-02) according to the manufacturer's instructions and stored at -80°C for later use. To assess the quality of the extracted total microbial DNA, the DNA concentration and OD 260 / 280 and OD 260 / 230 values were determined using Nanodrop. A 1% agarose gel was prepared, 500 ng of RNA was loaded, and the gel was run in a DNA electrophoresis tank at 100V for 10 min. RNA degradation was observed under blue light.
[0051] Example 2: Detection of deaminase gene expression in fecal or cecal contents using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).
[0052] Previous studies have shown that Citrobacter freundii (CFr) is a MM-related microorganism and can produce large amounts of NH4. + , and NH4 + This can further induce resistance in MM to BTZ, as detailed in patent 202111079749.6. NH4 +This can be regulated by bacterial deaminases. The gene sequence of *Citrobacter freundii* 4974986bp NZ_CP033744.1 was found in the NCBI database. Primers for nine deaminase-related genes were designed using the online tool Primer Blast in NCBI. In addition to the gene primers, this example also requires a pair of internal control primers (Maeda H, et al. Quantitative real-time PCR using TaqMan and SYBR Green for *Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans*, *Porphyromonas gingivalis*, *Prevotella intermedia*, tetQ gene and total bacteria. FEMS Immunology & Medical Microbiology. 2003, 39:81-86), the primer sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3-22. Subsequently, total microbial RNA was extracted from fecal samples according to Example 1, and the expression of nine deaminase genes in *Citrobacter freundii* was detected by qPCR. It was found that all nine deaminase genes were expressed in *Citrobacter freundii*. Figure 2 Subsequently, the expression of nine deaminase genes in the cecal contents of CFr-induced MM-resistant mice was examined. It was found that the expression of the imine / imine deaminase gene (end, primer sequences see SEQ ID NO. 15 and 16) and the adenosine deaminase gene (add, primer sequences see SEQ ID NO. 7 and 8) was significantly upregulated in the CFr group and CFr+BTZ. Figure 3 Finally, by examining the expression of end and add in the feces of AD and RM patients, we found that the expression of end and add was significantly upregulated in RM patients. Figure 4 The results showed that the deaminase genes end and add were significantly upregulated in the fecal intestinal tract of patients with relapsed / drug-resistant multiple myeloma (MM). The unpaired t-test was used for statistical analysis.
[0053] Experimental methods and steps for qPCR detection of microbial gene expression in fecal samples: First, determine the optimal annealing temperature for each primer using gradient annealing temperature PCR; then, using cDNA reverse transcribed from RNA extracted from each sample as a template, perform qPCR with specific primers for each gene, and record the cycle number (Ct value) for each primer; finally, calculate the relative expression of each gene in each sample. The relative abundance (Ra) of any gene i can be expressed by the formula: Ra( i)=(1 / 2)^(Ct i -Ct c ), where Ct i Ct represents the cycle number of gene i. c This indicates the cycle number of the universal primer.
[0054] The gradient annealing temperature PCR reaction system is as follows:
[0055]
[0056] A total of 20 μL was used. PCR amplification was performed on a Biorad PCR instrument under the following conditions: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 3 min; 94℃ denaturation for 30 s, gradient annealing temperature (50℃-60℃) for 15 s, 72℃ extension for 20 s, 32 cycles; 72℃ final extension for 3 min. A 1% agarose gel was prepared, and 10 μL of the PCR amplification product was loaded. The gel was run in a DNA electrophoresis tank at 100V for 20 min. The band specificity and brightness at each annealing temperature were observed under blue light to determine the annealing temperature for each bacterial primer.
[0057] The qPCR reaction system is as follows:
[0058]
[0059] Total volume: 20 μL. qPCR reaction conditions: 1) Incubation at 50℃ for 2 min; 2) Pre-denaturation at 95℃ for 2 min; 3) Denaturation at 95℃ for 15 s, annealing at 52℃ for 15 s, extension at 72℃ for 1 min, repeated for 40 cycles; 4) Melting curve analysis, default program.
