Application of intervention SNRK-MTA1 signal channel axis in preparation of non-small cell lung cancer targeted therapy drug

The invention relates to an application of an intervention SNRK-MTA1 signal channel axis in preparation of a non-small cell lung cancer targeted therapy drug. The nucleotide sequences of the mRNA of the SNRK gene and the mRNA of the MTA1 gene are respectively as shown in SEQ ID NO.1-2. The invention innovatively provides a strategy for treating the non-small cell lung cancer through double-target combined intervention. According to the strategy, SNRK gene expression is improved through exogenous gene overexpression plasmids, and meanwhile MTA1 gene expression is silenced through the siRNA technology. In a non-small cell lung cancer model, the strategy of combined application of the SNRK-OE plasmid and siMTA1 can specifically up-regulate the SNRK mRNA level and knock down the MTA1 mRNA level at the same time, and the combined strategy shows a better anti-tumor effect than single intervention, and can more effectively inhibit the growth and migration of tumor cells. Based on the discovery, the SNRK-MTA1 signal pathway axis can be developed into a novel therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer, and is used for designing a drug combination scheme or a composite targeted drug.

Characterization and inactivation of endogenous retroviruses in chinese hamster ovary cells

Type-C endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) embedded in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were altered to modify the release of retroviral and / or retroviral-like particles in the culture supernatant. Although evidence for the infectivity of these particles is missing. their presence has raised safety concerns. 173 type-C ERV sequences that clustered into functionally conserved groups were identified. Transcripts from one type-C ERV group were identified to be full-length with intact open reading frames, and to have corresponding viral RNA genomes that were loaded into retroviral-like particles. Also, sequence analysis of the genomic RNA from viral particles indicated that they may result from few expressed ERV sequences. Disclosed herein is the disruption / alteration of the gag gene of the expressed ERV group using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing. Comparison of CRISPR-derived mutations at the DNA and mRNA level led to the identification of a single ERV locus responsible for the release of viral RNA-loaded particles from CHO cells. Clones bearing a Gag loss-of-function mutation in this particular ERV locus showed a reduction of viral RNA-containing particles in the cell supernatant by over 250-fold. Notably, ERV mutagenesis did not compromise cell growth, cell size or recombinant protein production. Provided herein is a new strategy and cells, in particular engineered CHO cells, to mitigate potential contaminations from CHO endogenous retroviruses during biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
