Abstract

The invention discloses a production mode of leader editing gRNA and application thereof, and provides a production mode of leader editing gRNA, wherein the production mode uses an RNA polymerase II promoter to transcribe pegRNA and a coding sgRNA required by leader editing. The invention uses RNA polymerase II promoter to replace traditional RNA polymerase III promoter to generate the pilot editing gRNA contained in the intron, thus obtaining a novel pilot editing tool p2PE3, and utilizing Doxycycline to control the generation of the pilot editing gRNA, thereby realizing controllable pilot editing, which is beneficial to further expanding the practicability of the pilot editing tool.

Description

Production mode of pilot editing gRNA and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a generation mode of pilot editing gRNA and application thereof.
Background
The Prime Editing (PE) tool consists of Cas9 nickase and engineered reverse transcriptase, and corresponds to one pegRNA and one nicking sgRNA. Unlike normal sgrnas, the 3' end of pegRNA also carries a binding primer (Primer Binding Site, PBS) and a template (Reverse Transcription template, RTT) for repair. Reverse transcriptase reverse transcribes with PBS and RTT to obtain repaired DNA, which is used for directed mutation. By introducing a notch into the unedited strand of the nicking sgRNA, the editing efficiency of PE is greatly increased, and point mutation, small insertion or small deletion can be accurately introduced into the required site.
However, the pilot editing is not perfect, and the main limitation is its editing efficiency. Tests on human cell lines showed that the difference in editing efficiency of the lead editing in different cell lines was large and the difference in editing efficiency of different sites was also large. Liu et al and Nelson et al found that the 3' end of pegRNA greatly affected efficiency, mainly because the 3' end was easily degraded and complementary pairing with the 5' end was formed, affecting Cas9 binding. Liu et al, by adding a stem-loop structure of Csy4 recognition site at the 3' end of pegRNA, and linking with the linking sgRNA, cut by exogenously expressed Csy4 endonuclease, can greatly improve the efficiency of pilot editing, and the system is named ePE3.
However, the gRNA of ePE is produced by the RNA polymerase class III (Pol III) promoter, which results in the following problems with this system. First, pol III transcription is easily terminated by four to six consecutive U residues, so it is not suitable for editing sites on sgRNA containing poly (T); secondly, the Pol III promoter adds extra guanine or adenine at the 5 'end of the sgRNA, resulting in mismatch between the 5' end of the sgRNA and DNA, affecting the efficiency of high-fidelity SpCas9 variation; finally, the Pol III promoter is constitutively expressed and therefore cannot control the production of gRNA.
Therefore, we propose a generation mode of the lead editing gRNA and the application thereof.

The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: the invention uses RNA polymerase II promoter to replace traditional RNA polymerase III promoter to generate leader editing gRNA contained in introns, thus obtaining a novel leader editing tool p2PE3. Compared with the traditional lead editing tool ePE3 based on RNA polymerase III promoter, p2PE3 has equivalent editing efficiency at the common site, but ePE3 has little effect when editing the site containing poly (T) on gRNA, but p2PE3 still has higher editing efficiency. Furthermore, when the gRNA is in the third position of the array, the editing efficiency of p2PE3 is significantly higher than ePE3 when the genes are simultaneously edited. The above results demonstrate that p2PE3 has great advantages when editing the sites where the gRNA contains poly (T). The advantage of p2PE3 is not only in editing efficiency, but also the traditional lead editing tool cannot realize editing controllability from the level of gRNA because RNA polymerase III promoter is constitutively expressed in cells. By using the inducible RNA polymerase II promoter, the p2PE3 can control the generation of the leader editing gRNA by utilizing Doxycycline, thereby realizing controllable leader editing, which is beneficial to further expanding the practicability of a leader editing tool.

Cells were seeded into 24-well plates the day prior to transfection to give a cell concentration of around 70% on the day of transfection. The amount of plasmid transfected per well was 1. Mu.g of pEF1a-PE2-Csy4 plasmid, and 0.5. Mu.g of gRNA plasmid, respectively. The plasmid was mixed in 50. Mu.l of Opti-MEM (Gibco, 11058021) medium. Mu.l of Lipofectamine2000 transfection reagent (Thermo, 11668019) was mixed into 50. Mu.l of Opti-MEM medium and mixed well and allowed to stand for 5 minutes. The Opti-MEM mixed with the plasmid was added to the Opti-MEM mixed with Lipofectamine2000, and the mixture was stirred and stirred at a slow speed and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. Opti-MEM mixed with plasmid and Lipofectamine2000 was added to each 24-well plate. DMEM with 10% fbs was used 6 hours after transfection. Cells were resuspended after pancreatin digestion with medium containing 10% fbs 72 hours after transfection, and EGFP positive cells were collected by BD FACS AriaIII sorting after sieving through 40 μm filter.
The harvested cells were lysed with a DNA flash extract at 68℃for 20min and then subjected to inactivation at 98℃for 2min. The vicinity of the target site is amplified with a DNA high-fidelity polymerase. The amplification system is shown in Table 5 below:

The amplified product was purified using a PCR clean kit. Editing efficiency was accurately assessed by second generation high throughput sequencing. The PCR products to be sequenced are sent to Northlasiogenic biotechnology Co., ltd or Annoeuda Gene technology Co., ltd for amplicon pool-building sequencing. After cleardata is obtained, read lengths of 2×150bp are spliced using an AdapterRemoval, then all processed read lengths are aligned to the target sequence using the bwa mem algorithm, and the results are ranked using samtools alignment. Finally, the python program is written to calculate the editing efficiency and indel.
Human H1 embryonic stem cells (purchased from WiCell Research Institute) were cultured on matrigel (STEMCELL Technologies) -coated dishes and cultured using mTeSR1 (STEMCELL Technologies) medium. The day before transfection, cells were dissociated with Accutase (Thermo), seeded at 50,000-75,000 cells/well into 24-well plates, and 1 μl of 10 μ M Y-27632 (Tocris) was added. Pre-transfection with Lipofectamine Stem reagent (Thermo) was used. The amount of plasmid transfected per well was 300ng of pEF1a-PE2-Csy4 plasmid, 300ng of gRNA plasmid, pEF1a-SV40LT-hMLH1, respectively NTD -NLS plasmid 200ng, pEF1a-TetOn-3G plasmid 200ng. The induction group was simultaneously supplemented with 1. Mu.g/ml Doxycycline. Editing efficiency was identified 48 hours after transfection as above.
Step three: analysis of results
The 6 sites were edited by p2PE3 on HEK293T cells, heLa cells, U2OS cells as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) -2 (c). p2PE3 was comparable to ePE in efficiency in HEK293T cells and U2OS cells, and slightly lower than ePE in Hela cells. FIG. 2 (d) shows that p2PE3 was inducible for 6 sites in human H1 embryonic stem cells, and was not able to be efficiently edited only in the presence of Doxycycline (+Dox) but not in the absence of Doxycycline (-Dox).
Example 4: efficient editing of poly (T) -containing sites in gRNA in HEK293T cells was performed using p2PE3.
Step one: construction of gRNA plasmid
6 human endogenous genes were selected: BRCA1, COL1A2, GPSM2, ADGRV1, OL9A1, TSC1, lead edit gRNA was designed, all with poly (T) on them. The oligos used are shown in the attached sequence table SEQ ID Nos. 41-70. Construction of the gRNA plasmid was performed as in example 2.
Step two: cell culture transfection and identification
HEK293T cells (purchased from ATCC) were cultured, transfected and identified as per step two in example 3.
Step three: analysis of results
The correlation results are shown in fig. 3. The p2PE3 based on the RNA polymerase II promoter can efficiently edit the site containing poly (T) of the gRNA, and ePE based on the RNA polymerase III promoter has poor editing effect on the site containing poly (T) of the gRNA. It is demonstrated that p2PE3 has great advantages in editing sites where gRNA contains poly (T).
Example 5: the simultaneous editing of 3 endogenous genes was performed in HEK293T cells using p2PE3.
Step one: construction of sgRNA plasmids
3 human endogenous genes were selected: MKL2, MYH7 and NKX2-5, the pilot editing gRNA was designed. The oligos used are shown in the attached sequence table SEQ ID Nos. 71-85. Construction of the gRNA plasmid was performed as in example 2. Furthermore, the gRNAs were ligated using Csy4 recognition site sequences in the order of FIG. 4 (a), resulting in 3 gRNA arrays. The gRNA array was synthesized by Kirschner Biotechnology Co., ltd and cloned into pGL3-CAG-mCherry (sgRNA intron) -hGGK-EGFP vector or pGL3-U6-sgRNA-EGFP vector. The sequence of the gRNA array is shown in the attached sequence table SEQ ID 86-88.
Step two: cell culture transfection and identification
HEK293T cells (purchased from ATCC) were cultured, transfected and identified as per step two in example 3.
Step three: analysis of results
The correlation results are shown in fig. 4. It can be seen that when gRNA was edited alone, or in the first place in Array, the editing efficiency of p2PE3 and ePE3 was comparable; when the gRNA is positioned at the second position of the Array, the editing efficiency of the p2PE3 is slightly higher than ePE3; when the gRNA is in the third position of Array, the editing efficiency of p2PE3 is significantly higher than ePE3. Illustrating that p2PE3 has great advantages when performing combinatorial editing.
