Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and in particular to a method for constructing a triple-mutant Alzheimer's disease mouse model and its application. Background Art
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common degenerative disease of the central nervous system in the elderly or pre-elderly. It is the main type of dementia, accounting for 60-70%. Its typical manifestations are early memory loss and cognitive impairment, followed by behavioral and psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety and delusions. The main pathological characteristics of AD include amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the brain, and neurodegeneration in the hippocampus and cortex. Amyloid β (Aβ) is produced by the cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β and γ secretases. Aβ42 is more toxic due to its high aggregation. The amyloid plaques formed by its accumulation can cause neuronal damage and death through various mechanisms, exacerbating neurodegeneration. Tau protein is abnormally phosphorylated in AD, detaches from microtubules and aggregates to form NFTs, destroying neuronal structure and function, leading to severe cognitive impairment.
[0003] In order to study the pathological mechanism of AD and develop therapies, scientists have constructed a variety of transgenic mouse models, introducing mutations in AD-related genes (such as APP, PS1, and Tau genes) to simulate pathological characteristics. A common strategy is to mutate the human APP gene to simulate Aβ accumulation. Mice carrying mutations in human APP and PS1 genes can develop amyloid plaques and cognitive impairment earlier. Double transgenic mice show memory and synaptic transmission damage at 6 months, which is an ideal model for studying early pathology, but they fail to reproduce Tau protein aggregation in human patients well. Although there are models for editing three mutant genes, mice develop Aβ pathology at 6 months and form NFTs at 12 months, but the behavioral and pathological changes are not completely consistent with clinical patients and can only be used to study specific relationships. In addition, there are non-transgenic models that induce AD-like pathological changes by injecting toxins or natural aging. However, to date, although a variety of AD-related mouse models have been constructed, none of them can match the changes in the course of the disease in human patients.
[0004] Therefore, it is desirable to construct a mouse model that can match the course of Alzheimer's disease in humans. Summary of the invention

[0023] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this specification, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some examples or embodiments of this specification. For ordinary technicians in this field, this specification can also be applied to other similar scenarios based on these drawings without creative work. Unless it is obvious from the language environment or otherwise explained, the same reference numerals in the figures represent the same structure or operation.
[0024] As shown in this specification and claims, unless the context clearly indicates an exception, the words "a", "an", "an" and / or "the" do not refer to the singular and may also include the plural. Generally speaking, the terms "comprise" and "include" only indicate the inclusion of the steps and elements that have been clearly identified, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list. The method or device may also include other steps or elements.
[0025] One or more embodiments of the present specification provide a triple mutation Alzheimer's disease (3-FAD) mouse model and a construction method and application thereof. By means of gene editing, transgenic fragments of three exogenous genes (including hPSEN1 M146V mutation, hAPP Swedish mutation and hMAPT P243L mutation) are randomly inserted into the mouse genome. Under the regulation of the promoter neural-specific element, the transgenic fragments of the three exogenous genes can be specifically expressed in the brain region of the mouse, thereby obtaining a triple mutation Alzheimer's disease (3-FAD) mouse model that can be stably inherited and whose disease progression is basically consistent with that of human patients.
[0026] The present invention provides a method for constructing a triple-mutant Alzheimer's disease (3-FAD) mouse model, which comprises the following steps:
[0027] (1) Preparing a transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP, a transgenic fragment of the second exogenous gene hPSEN1, and a transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT.
[0028] The hAPP gene (human Amyloid Precursor Protein gene) is a gene encoding amyloid precursor protein (APP) and is located on the long arm of human chromosome 21 (21q21.3). It is of great significance in the fields of biomedicine and neuroscience, especially in relation to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
[0029] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP carries a Swedish mutation. The Swedish mutation is a specific mutation of the hAPP gene, named "Swedish mutation" because it was originally found in several families in Sweden and is closely related to early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD). The Swedish mutation involves two nucleotide changes in the coding region of the hAPP gene, specifically at amino acids 670 and 671 on the coding amyloid precursor protein (APP).
[0030] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP comprises the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1.
[0031] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP includes hAPP 5'UTR and a mutant hAPP CDS sequence, and the mutant hAPP CDS sequence carries a Swedish mutation.
[0032] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP further includes the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2.
[0033] The hPSEN1 gene (human Presenilin-1 gene) is a gene that encodes the Presenilin-1 protein (PS1). Presenilin 1 (PSEN1) is a catalytic subunit of γ-secretase, which is responsible for processing amyloid precursor protein (APP) to produce Aβ. The hPSEN1 gene is located on the long arm of human chromosome 14 (14q24.3). Mutation of the PSEN1 gene is one of the main causes of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD).
[0034] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the second exogenous gene hPSEN1 carries the hPSEN1 M146V mutation.
[0035] As used herein, "hPSEN1 M146V mutation" refers to the mutation of methionine M at position 146 in the hPSEN1 protein obtained by transcription and translation after the hPSEN1 gene mutates to valine V. The methionine M at position 146 is obtained based on the hPSEN1 protein sequence (GI: 15079861) or its homologous sequence.
[0036] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the second exogenous gene hPSEN1 comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3.
[0037] In some embodiments, the transgenic segment of the second exogenous gene hPSEN1 includes a mutant hPSEN1 CDS sequence, and the mutant hPSEN1 CDS sequence carries the hPSEN1 M146V mutation.
[0038] The MAPT gene encodes the microtubule-associated protein Tau, which is a microtubule-binding protein. The intracellular Tau protein is hyperphosphorylated, which reduces its solubility. Hyperphosphorylated Tau competes with tubulin for binding to normal Tau and other microtubule-associated proteins, thereby losing its biological activity in promoting microtubule assembly, leading to microtubule depolymerization and impaired axonal transport, thus causing neuronal degeneration and apoptosis, and ultimately leading to the occurrence of AD. Mutations in the microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) gene are the main factors leading to other Tau-related neurodegenerative diseases such as AD, cortical-basal syndrome, and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) syndrome.
[0039] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT carries the hMAPT P243L mutation.
[0040] As used herein, "hMAPT P243L mutation" refers to the mutation of the hMAPT gene to convert the proline P at position 243 in the human microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) to leucine L. The proline P at position 243 is obtained based on the hMAPT protein sequence (GI: 8400711) or its homologous sequence.
[0041] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT includes a mutant hMAPT CDS sequence, and the mutant hMAPT CDS sequence carries an hMAPT P243L mutation.
[0042] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT comprises the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:5.
[0043] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hPSEN1, the transgenic fragment of the second exogenous gene hAPP, and the transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT each include a Thy1 promoter.
[0044] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP includes elements operably linked and arranged in the following order from 5' to 3': Thy1 promoter, hAPP 5'UTR, mutant hAPP CDS sequence (carrying Swedish mutation); the transgenic fragment of the first exogenous gene hAPP also includes the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2.
[0045] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the second exogenous gene hPSEN1 includes elements operably linked and arranged in the following order from 5' to 3': Thy1 promoter, mutant hPSEN1 CDS sequence (carrying hPSEN1 M146V mutation); the transgenic fragment of the second exogenous gene hPSEN1 also includes a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:4.
[0046] In some embodiments, the transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT comprises elements operably linked and arranged in the following order from 5' to 3': Thy1 promoter, mutant hMAPT CDS sequence (carrying hMAPT P243L mutation); the transgenic fragment of the third exogenous gene hMAPT also comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:6.

[0119] Example 2 Detection of blood biomarkers
[0120] The automated ultrasensitive immunoassay-single molecule array detection method was used to detect the early clinical blood test indicators of Alzheimer's disease in mouse plasma. The subjects included three 1-month-old 3-FAD (1M) mice, three 2-month-old 3-FAD (2M) mice and three 6-month-old C57BL / 6J control mice (WT) as the control group. The experimental results are as follows Figure 1 As shown. Among them, Figure 1 (a), (b), and (c) represent the blood (plasma) test results of Aβ42 / 40, p-Tau181, and p-Tau217, respectively (unit: pg / mL).
[0121] from Figure 1 It can be seen that, first of all, three biomarkers, Aβ42 / 40, p-Tau181 and p-Tau217, were detected simultaneously in the blood of 1M 3-FAD mice. However, there is no model on the market that can detect these three biomarkers from the blood at the same time, let alone detect them at 1 month of age.
[0122] Secondly, the Aβ42 / 40 ratio was upregulated. Specifically, compared with the control group, no Aβ42 was detected. Aβ42 appeared in 3-FAD mice at 1 month of age. Over time, the Aβ42 / 40 ratio increased at 2 months of age, but did not show a significant upward trend with the progression of the disease. This performance is consistent with the clinical course of Alzheimer's disease.
[0123] Finally, the concentrations of p-Tau181 and p-Tau217 gradually increased over time, which is consistent with the detection indicators in clinical patients.
[0124] Therefore, it can be concluded that 3-FAD mice can successfully detect Aβ42 / 40, p-Tau181, and p-Tau217 in the plasma at the same time, and the disease indicators presented are consistent with the standards of early clinical blood detection.
[0125] Example 3 Pathological brain region detection
[0126] The hallmark neuropathological changes of Alzheimer's disease are diffuse neuritic plaques, which are marked by extracellular amyloid beta deposition (Aβ deposition) and neurofibrillary tangles (formed by intracellular aggregation of hyperphosphorylated Tau protein). Among them, Aβ aggregation will occur throughout the development of Alzheimer's disease.
[0127] Detection steps: 6 3-FAD mice were taken and euthanized at 2 months of age. Then the brain was perfused and fixed and embedded. The expression of Aβ plaques was detected by immunohistochemical staining to obtain immunohistochemical (IHC) results. The same method was used to treat 2-month-old C57BL / 6J2 mice in the control group (WT) and 4-month-old and 6-month-old 3-FAD mice to obtain IHC results.
[0128] From the results, we can see that: on the one hand, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, compared with the control group, there was no Aβ deposition in the cortex (Ctx) and subiculum (Sub) of 2-month-old 3-FAD mice, and Aβ was detected in a speckled state. Figure 3 As shown, in 1-month-old 3-FAD mice, Aβ deposition was not apparent, but in the brains of 2-month-old 3-FAD mice, Aβ deposition was manifested. Combined with the aforementioned detection of Aβ42 in the blood of 1-month-old 3-FAD mice, this situation is consistent with the actual clinical manifestations. In addition, as the disease progresses, Aβ deposition in the cortex and subiculum of 3-FAD mice aggregates and plaques until Aβ plaques are deposited at 6 months of age; while the control group, which is also 6 months old, did not show Aβ deposition. This shows that the pathological manifestation of the gradual deposition and expression of Aβ plaques in 3-FAD mice is consistent with the clinical manifestations of Alzheimer's disease.
[0129] On the other hand, various hyperphosphorylated Tau proteins were detected in 3-FAD mice at different ages. Figure 4 As shown, p-Tau 181 was detected in the cortex (Ctx), hippocampus (Hip), and cerebellum (Cere) of 1-month-old 3-FAD mice; Figure 5 As shown, p-Tau 217 was detected in the cortex (Ctx), hippocampus (Hip), and cerebellum (Cere) of 2-month-old 3-FAD mice; Figure 6 As shown, p-Tau (Thr231) was also detected in 2-month-old 3-FAD mice; Figure 7 As shown, p-Tau (Ser202, Thr205) was detected in the cortex (Ctx), hippocampus (Hip), and cerebellum (Cere) of 3-FAD (3M) mice at 3 months of age; Figure 8 As shown in Figure 2, p-Tau (Ser396) was detected in the cortex (Ctx), hippocampus (Hip), and cerebellum (Cere) of 3-FAD mice at 3 months of age. Figure 9 As shown in Figure 2, phosphorylation of p-Tau181 intensified over time and gradually formed a tangled morphology; Figure 10As shown, p-Tau (Ser202, Thr205) appears after Aβ deposition is detected and increases with the progression of the disease.
[0130] Therefore, according to Figures 2 - 10 , it can be concluded that in the brain area of 3-FAD mice, p-Tau181, p-Tau217, p-Tau (Thr231), p-Tau (Ser202, Thr205) and p-Tau (Ser396) appear in chronological order, and in the brain of 3-FAD mice, p-Tau181 appears before Aβ deposition, p-Tau (Ser202, Thr205) appears after Aβ deposition, and it intensifies with the progression of the disease. This pathological process or stage of development is consistent with the situation of clinical patients, and has the prospect of being used to study the pathological mechanism of Alzheimer's disease and to screen drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
[0131] Example 4 Behavioral Verification
[0132] The loss of visual-spatial memory is a typical behavioral characteristic in the course of Alzheimer's disease. The Morris water maze test is an experimental method widely used in the field of neuroscience. Its main function is to evaluate the spatial learning, memory ability and sense of direction of experimental animals. This experiment is based on the instinctive reaction of animals to escape from the water environment. That is, by observing the time and path required for animals to find a platform hidden under the water in the water maze, their spatial memory ability is evaluated.
[0133] The Morris water maze test was performed on 3-month-old 3-FAD mice, and 3-month-old C57BL / 6J mice were used as the control group (WT). Figure 11 In the circular pool shown in (a), the pool is divided into four quadrants (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4), and the water temperature of the pool is maintained at 23±1℃. On the first day, an invisible fixed platform (10 cm in diameter) was placed in Q2 about 1 cm above the water surface, and two visualization trainings were performed. From the 2nd to the 5th day, the invisible fixed platform was placed in Q2 1 cm below the water surface, and four trainings were performed every day. On the 6th day, the platform was removed from the maze and the mice were allowed to swim freely for 60 seconds. The time and distance that each mouse crossed the effective area (platform) and the time and distance explored in the target quadrant (the quadrant where the platform is located), as well as the number of entries, were monitored and recorded.
[0134] The results are as follows Figure 11As shown in (b) and (c), compared with the control group, the 3-FAD mice had no significant difference in swimming distance (unit: m) or swimming speed (unit: mm / s), indicating that the 3-FAD mice of 3M were consistent with the control group in terms of mobility, that is, the motor function (Normal locomotor function) was not impaired. Figure 11 As shown in (d) and (e), the number of times the 3-FAD mice entered the second quadrant where the platform was located and the time they stayed there were significantly shorter than those in the control group, and the number of times they entered was significantly reduced. Combined with the fact that their motor function was not impaired, this indicates that the 3-FAD mice failed to remember the location of the platform, that is, their memory ability was reduced. At the same time, compared with the control group, the time it took for the 3-FAD mice to enter the pool and reach the platform was significantly longer than that of the control group, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 11 As shown in (f), the number of shuttling around the platform was significantly less than that of the control group. Figure 11 As shown in (g), combined with the fact that their motor function was not impaired, it also shows that the memory ability of 3-FAD mice was impaired.
[0135] Therefore, it can be concluded that the locomotor function of 3-FAD mice at 3 months old was not impaired, but they showed a phenotype of decreased spatial memory ability consistent with clinical symptoms. And compared with the pathological manifestations of Aβ deposition starting at 2 months old, the behavioral manifestations started at 3 months old, which is consistent with the clinical progression of Alzheimer's disease.
[0136] In summary, 3-FAD mice can effectively simulate the mouse model of human Alzheimer's disease patients from clinical diagnostic markers, pathology to behavioral changes, which is of great significance for in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, discovery of new therapeutic targets and promotion of drug development.
[0137] Example 5 Drug Screening Using the 3-FAD Mouse Model
[0138] The drug Lecanemab was used to treat 3-FAD mice. Specifically, 4 1-month-old 3-FAD mice were intraperitoneally injected with 12 mpk / mouse each time, once a week, for 4 consecutive weeks, which was recorded as the experimental group (3-FAD+Lecanemab). At the same time, two control groups were set up. Control group one consisted of 3 6-month-old C57BL / 6J mice (WT) that were not given the drug, and control group two consisted of 4 3-FAD mice that were not given the drug (3-FAD). The levels of p-Tau181 and p-Tau217 in the blood of mice were detected 4 weeks later. The results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, (a) and (b) represent the detection results of p-Tau181 and p-Tau217 in blood respectively.Figure 12 It can be seen that under the same condition of no drug administration, the levels of p-Tau181 and p-Tau217 in the blood of 3-FAD mice were significantly increased compared with those of C57BL / 6J mice, but the levels of p-Tau181 and p-Tau217 in 3-FAD mice after drug administration (3-FAD+Lecanemab) were lower than those of 3-FAD mice without drug administration (3-FAD), which is consistent with the trend of clinical AD patients; and compared with p-Tau181, the downward trend of p-Tau217 was more obvious, which is also consistent with the test results of clinical patients treated with Lecanemab.
[0139] The present application also tested brain slices of the control group and the experimental group after 4 weeks of administration, and obtained the following Figure 13 The IHC results shown show that compared with C57BL / 6J mice, there was obvious Aβ deposition in the untreated 3-FAD mice (3-FAD), while the Aβ deposition in the treated 3-FAD mice (3-FAD+Lecanemab) slowed down and the plaque area became smaller, which is consistent with the test results of clinical patients treated with Lecanemab, indicating that the 3-FAD mice of the present application can be used for drug screening for Alzheimer's disease.
