Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of tumor molecular biology technology, specifically relating to an EccDNA molecule associated with drug resistance in multiple myeloma and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Multiple myeloma (MM) is a group of clonal plasma cell malignant proliferative disorders and the second most common hematologic malignancy. Despite significant advances in MM treatment in recent years, the 10-year survival rate remains only 17%. While the advent of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents over the past two decades has extended overall survival in MM by 3-6 years, prolonged treatment inevitably leads to clonal evolution under various therapeutic pressures, ultimately resulting in disease progression and relapse. When MM progresses to the relapse stage, treatment outcomes are often disappointing. Elucidating the pathogenesis of relapsed MM and seeking new, effective treatments are urgent priorities in the field of MM treatment.

[0003] Extrachromosomal circular DNA (EccDNA) is a group of circular double-stranded or single-stranded DNA molecules of varying sizes and sequences found within the cell nucleus, originating from but independent of chromosomal DNA. EccDNA was first confirmed in 1965, and research on it gradually increased until 2015 with the development of Circle-seq technology. EccDNA is widely distributed in eukaryotes, including plants, ciliates, yeast, Xenopus, fruit flies, mammals, and pigeons. A series of studies have confirmed that EccDNA plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes, including gene amplification, telomere length repair, genome plasticity, and molecular sponging. Although the mechanisms of EccDNA production are still not fully understood, four widely accepted hypothetical models exist: break-fusion bridge (BFB) cycles, chromosome fragmentation, free bodies, and translocation-deletion-amplification models. In summary, EccDNA is a product of a highly unstable genome. Based on size and sequence, EccDNA can be classified into five types: small polydisperse DNA (spcDNA), microDNA, tcircle / ccircle, ERC, and EcDNA. MicroDNA and EcDNA are primarily found in tumor cells. MicroDNA can transcribe non-coding RNA and plays a regulatory role in a range of biological processes, while EcDNA is longer enough to carry complete genes, thus participating in oncogene amplification and genomic heterogeneity. In the study by Yi et al., they established a CRISPR-based ecTag method to label EcDNA in living cells with fluorescent markers and observed evidence of uneven distribution of EcDNA into daughter cells during mitosis. EcDNA lacks centromeres and therefore distributes unevenly among progeny cells during cell division, thus mediating intercellular heterogeneity. Currently, no studies on EcDNA in multiple myeloma (MM) have been reported. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The primary objective of this invention is to provide an EccDNA molecule associated with drug resistance in multiple myeloma. Specifically, circle-seq sequencing was used to identify a novel EccDNA molecule, EccDNA, that is aberrantly expressed in relapsed / drug-resistant MM. chr7 :2101675-2102072 The circularity of the EccDNA was then verified by reverse PCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction, PCR) and Sanger sequencing. Finally, the sample was expanded to verify that the EccDNA is a widely present molecule in relapsed and drug-resistant MM and to confirm that it mediates bortezomib resistance to a certain extent in cell lines.

[0005] The EccDNA molecular sequence associated with multiple myeloma drug resistance is as follows:

[0007] A second objective of this invention is to provide the use of the reagent for detecting the EccDNA molecules in the preparation of diagnostic and / or prognostic agents for multiple myeloma patients.

[0008] A third objective of this invention is to provide the use of the reagent for detecting the EccDNA molecules in the preparation of diagnostic, prognostic, or drug resistance assays for patients with relapsed multiple myeloma.

[0009] The reagents for detecting EccDNA molecules include PCR detection reagents or in situ hybridization detection reagents.

[0010] Furthermore,

[0011] PCR detection reagents include primers:

[0012] F:ACCAGGCAGGAGAAGGAGGAG

[0013] R: GGTAAGTTGAGGGAAGAAGCG.

[0014] A fourth object of the present invention is to provide the use of reagents that overexpress the EccDNA molecule in the preparation of agents that enhance the invasiveness of multiple myeloma cells.

[0015] A fifth object of the present invention is to provide the use of the reagent for inhibiting the expression of the EccDNA molecule in the preparation of agents that reduce the invasiveness of multiple myeloma cells.

[0016] Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous group of malignant tumors of the plasma cell system, with survival ranging from several months to over 10 years. Over the years, the use of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory agents has significantly improved the survival rate of MM. However, the disease remains incurable, and with the passage of time, it will eventually relapse and develop drug resistance. Once relapsed and drug-resistant, treatment outcomes are often poor, and the prognosis is bad. Identifying the mechanisms of MM relapse will help in further researching relapsed and drug-resistant MM patients.

[0017] This invention investigated circle-seq sequencing of patients with remission of multiple myeloma (MM) and those with relapsed MM during regular treatment. A large number of EccDNA molecules were detected in each sample. Eight molecules highly expressed in two samples were selected for verification by reverse PCR and Sanger sequencing. The EccDNA in the T1 sample was... chr7:2101675-2102072 The cyclic property was successfully identified. Expanding the clinical sample revealed a high positive rate in relapsed MM, while all samples were negative in remission MM. Further analysis using IC50 calculations, apoptotic cell percentage, and transwell migration assays using this molecule suggested a correlation between this molecule and bortezomib resistance in MM relapse.

[0018] In summary, this invention detected specific EccDNA in relapsed MM patients. chr7:2101675-2102072 This molecule provides a new direction for understanding the mechanisms of relapse and drug resistance in MM patients and for their treatment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The following examples are intended to further illustrate the present invention, but not to limit it.

[0031] Currently, research tools and methods for EccDNA are mature and feasible. EccDNA can be reconstructed through whole-genome sequencing, Circle-seq, and bioinformatics algorithms. Other epigenetic techniques, such as ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and 4Cseq, can assist in exploring topological structures. Reverse PCR combined with Sanger sequencing can be used for EccDNA validation. Optical microscopy (LM), electron microscopy (EM), and fluorescence microscopy can visualize EccDNA.

Genomic DNA was obtained by digesting mitochondrial DNA with PacI restriction endonuclease from NEB (USA), followed by enzymatic digestion of linear DNA with Plasmid Safe ATP-dependent DNase from Lucigen (USA). Finally, DNA was extracted with a phenol / chloroform / isoamyl alcohol (25:24:1) solution, precipitated with ethanol, and purified as EccDNA. Rolling circle amplification was performed on the purified EccDNA using the NEB phi29-XT RCA Kit. The rolled circle amplification products were analyzed using Diagenode (Belgium). The instrument was used for ultrasonic fragmentation, employing equipment from NEB Corporation of the United States.
