Description

Enhancer RNA functional site related to colorectal cancer high-risk group identification and early screening and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of genetic engineering and oncology medicine, in particular to an enhancer RNA functional site related to colorectal cancer high risk group identification and early screening and application thereof.
Background
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, seriously threatens the health of people in China, and has incidence and mortality rate respectively listed as the third and second in malignant tumors in China. Along with the aggravation of population aging and the change of resident life style and dietary structure, the incidence rate and death rate of colorectal cancer in China show an annual rising trend, and become a major public health problem to be solved urgently in China. Currently, the most effective screening method for colorectal cancer is fecal occult blood examination (FIT) in combination with colonoscopy. However, these methods have drawbacks such as low detection rate and low patient acceptance. Therefore, a more convenient and accurate method is needed to carry out screening and early diagnosis on high-risk individuals of colorectal cancer, and the acceptance of patients is improved, so that a great deal of medical expenditure is saved for the country.
In recent years, a personalized screening scheme based on molecular genetics is an important point for screening colorectal cancer high-risk groups. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, SNPs), which are the most common type of genetic variation, reflect differences in genetic background of individuals, have been shown to be associated with risk of tumor development. To date, a series of genetic variation sites closely related to colorectal cancer susceptibility in the chinese population have been identified by Genome-wide association studies (Genome-Wide Association Study, GWAS). However, the majority of colorectal cancer-associated sites identified are located in non-coding regions of the genome, revealing the truly functional genetic variations and their underlying biological mechanisms behind these statistical associations remains very difficult, for which researchers have exploited truly functional SNPs using a quantitative trait locus (Quantitative Trait Loci, QTL) based analysis approach system. The non-coding region contains a number of cis-regulatory elements, where enhancers play a critical role in the regulation of gene expression. With the rapid development of high throughput sequencing technology, active enhancers have been found to transcribe a non-coding RNA, called enhancer RNA (eRNA), which activates enhancer activity, promotes the formation of enhancer-promoter loops, and thus downstream gene expression, and many cancers and diseases in humans are associated with aberrant expression of eRNA. Furthermore, studies report that genetic variation on enhancers further affects disease development by affecting the production of eRNA. Therefore, the genetic variation (enhancer RNA quantitative trait locus, eRNAQTL) affecting eRNA expression is systematically identified in the whole genome range, and is an important entry point for analyzing the biological function of the susceptibility site, and meanwhile, the identified SNP marker can be applied to identification, early screening and auxiliary diagnosis of individuals at high risk of colorectal cancer of Chinese population.

Detailed Description
The principles and features of the present invention are described below with examples given for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Combining with the research of colorectal cancer functional eRNAQTLs and multi-center case control of Chinese people, an enhancer RNA functional site marker related to early colorectal cancer screening and auxiliary diagnosis is identified, wherein the marker is rs3094296.
The specific amplification primer sequence of rs3094296 is SEQ ID NO:1 and SEQ ID NO:2.
the specific probe sequence of rs3094296 is SEQ ID NO:3 and SEQ ID NO:4.
the detection reagent of the enhancer RNA functional site marker related to colorectal cancer susceptibility is applied to the preparation of colorectal cancer early screening and auxiliary diagnosis kits.
An early colorectal cancer screening and auxiliary diagnosis kit is used for detecting rs3094296 in peripheral blood DNA.
The colorectal cancer early screening and auxiliary diagnosis kit comprises a specific amplification primer and a specific probe of a functional site marker rs3094296.
The technical scheme for solving the problems comprises the following steps: (1) establishing a unified standard specimen library and database: standard-compliant subject blood samples were collected with standard procedures (SOP) and the system collected complete demographic and clinical data. (2) genotype detection: selecting colorectal cancer cases and healthy controls, finding functional site markers related to colorectal cancer morbidity of Chinese people in sites with obvious eRNAQTL, and (3) verifying the screened positive associated functional site markers in independent samples to judge the associated stability. (4) development of colorectal cancer auxiliary diagnosis kit: and (3) developing an early screening and auxiliary diagnosis kit according to genetic functional site marks with obvious differences in genotype distribution frequency in colorectal cancer cases and healthy controls.
In particular, the experimental method of the invention mainly comprises the following steps:
first, we collected 10 pairs of fresh colorectal cancer surgically excised and its paracancerous normal tissue samples from the affiliated homozygous hospital of the university of Huazhong science and technology, and performed ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq experiments, respectively. A set of active enhancer elements was annotated by integrating the ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq data, further removing the region overlapping the protein encoding gene to give the eRNA region. Subsequently, we systematically identified and identified functional eRNAQTLs for colorectal cancer in the whole genome range using transcriptome data of 154 Chinese colorectal cancer samples in the eRNA region and genotype data of their corresponding samples for identification of colorectal cancer high risk populations. Next, the biological mechanisms of the eRNAQTLs affecting colorectal cancer occurrence were explored through a series of molecular biology experiments, by two-stage, multi-center case-control studies to identify eRNAQTLs affecting colorectal cancer risk.
Crowd verification included a two-stage case-control study in which colorectal cancer case-control samples at the discovery stage were recruited to Beijing (China medical science college) and to the Siraitia hospitals (both the same-Ji hospital, the university of Siraitia, and the university of Siraitia in the south China), collecting a total of 4,293 colorectal cancer patients and 7,176 healthy control blood samples. The basic demographic characteristics are shown in table 1. Using the unconditional Logi st ic regression model, we calculated the relationship of eRNAQTLs to colorectal cancer susceptibility in the additive model after correction of age, sex, smoking and drinking confounding factors, and thus drawn the Manhattan plot, the results of which are shown in figure 2, panel a. We identified 2,901 eRNAQTLs associated with colorectal cancer risk, with P values < 0.05 as the significance threshold, with the 3q12.3 region population most significant. In this region we found that the rs3094296 functional site was significantly correlated with expression of the target enona ENSR00000155786 in colorectal cancer tissue, and the results are shown in figure 2, panel b. The case control research results show that individuals carrying the rs3094296 risk genotype respectively reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by 9% compared with normal individuals in Chinese crowd samples (OR=0.88, 95% CI:0.83-0.94, P=2.69×10) -5 ) The results are shown in Table 2.

Verification phase we co-recruited 6,024 colorectal cancer patients with complete medical history data from two areas of the Beijing, wuhan, and 10,022 normal control Chinese populations without a history of tumor disease, and genotyped these individuals. Colorectal cancer patients and normal controls were both in the han group. The patient is subjected to histopathological diagnosis without age limitation; normal controls had no history of tumor and no signs of tumor upon physical examination. And information of sex, age and the like of the study subjects is collected. Each subject informed consent was given to the study and 2ml of peripheral venous blood was donated for isolation of lymphocyte genomic DNA. The basic demographic characteristics are shown in table 3.

* By using double-sided χ 2 Checking and comparing;a two-sided independent sample t-test comparison was used.
We used two-place recruited crowd samples for crowd verification by employing unconditional logistic returnsAfter model establishment and correction of gender, age, smoking and drinking conditions, the association of SNP locus rs3094296 and colorectal cancer susceptibility is calculated for two-stage crowd samples respectively. Analysis results of two-stage case control of Chinese crowd show that rs3094296[ T ] is carried]Individuals of risk genotype have 16% and 6% reduced risk of colorectal cancer (or=0.84, 95% ci:0.75-0.92, p=3.74×10, respectively -4 ;OR=0.94,95%CI:0.90-0.99,P=1.76×10 -2 ). To enhance the test efficacy of the case control study, two-stage samples were pooled and rs3094296 was tested for association with colorectal cancer susceptibility. The result of the case control research of the Chinese crowd is consistent with the result of the sample in the discovery stage, and rs3094296[ T ] is carried]Individuals of risk genotype were at 9% reduced risk of developing colorectal cancer (or=0.93, 95% ci:0.89-0.97, p=4.97×10 -4 ) The detailed results are shown in Table 4.
TABLE 4 analysis results of risk correlation of rs3094296 colorectal cancer in Chinese crowd samples
* And (5) calculating by using a Logistic regression model, and correcting gender, age, smoking and drinking conditions.
Early-stage multi-stage crowd association analysis verifies that the site is a colorectal cancer risk site, so that we further use the SNP site to establish a colorectal cancer risk prediction model. Chinese population from the discovery phase GWAS study (4,293 cases and 7,176 controls), european population from the GECCO project (17,789 cases and 19,951 controls). A formula is constructed, and three genotypes and sexes of SNP, age, smoking and drinking conditions are comprehensively considered. Wherein, for SNP genotyping, wild homozygous= "1", heterozygous= "2", mutant homozygous= "3"; for gender, male is "1" and female is "0"; for age, greater than or equal to 60 years old is "1", less than 60 years old is "0". In the analysis, a multi-factor logistic regression coefficient beta is taken as a weight, and a formula for obtaining the rs 3094296-based typing risk score is as follows:
chinese population risk score = (-0.0692 x gender score) + (0.0023 x age score) + (0.1203 x smoking score) + (-0.0139 x drinking score) + (-0.1244 x rs3094296 scoring).
European population risk score = (-0.1891 x sex score) + (0.0296 x age score) +(-0.0654 x rs3094296 typed score)
By drawing the AUC curve, the area under the model curve is 0.532 and 0.571 for European and Chinese people respectively, see specifically FIG. 3.
To functionally resolve colorectal cancer risk associations at the rs3094296 functional site, we found that the different genotypes of the pathogenic site were significantly correlated with the expression of the target eRNA ENSR00000155786 using eRNAQTL analysis. And then, the reporter gene experiments prove that the reporter gene activity of the recombinant plasmid transfected with the rs 3094296T allele is obviously higher than that of the empty vector pGL3-Promoter group in two colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW480, and the DNA fragment with the target site has the enhancer activity. Compared with the rs3094296[ T ] genotype group, the reporter gene activity of the rs3094296[ C ] genotype group is obviously reduced. The experimental result shows that the region of rs3094296[ T ] has enhancer activity, and the enhancer of rs3094296[ T ] has stronger transcriptional activation effect than that of rs3094296[ C ], and the result is shown in figure 4. Mechanically, we found that the binding capacity of the rs3094296[ T ] allele to the transcription factor HOXA5 was stronger, resulting in stronger enhancer activity of rs3094296[ T ], thereby promoting expression of ENSR00000155786, see specifically FIG. 5.
Given that determining the downstream target gene regulated by eRNA ENSR00000155786 helps to clarify its role in colorectal cancer development, we combine co-expression and eQTL analysis. As a result, rs3094296 was found to be significantly associated with the expression of SENP7 in colorectal cancer tissues, as shown in fig. 6, so we determined that SENP7 is the target gene for this edrna and named SENP7e as ENSR 00000155786. Next, we examined the effect of SENP7e and SENP7 on colorectal cancer cell growth using the cell proliferation assay CCK-8 and the clonogenic assay. Experimental results show that knocking down SENP7e and SENP7, respectively, can enhance proliferation and clonogenic capacity of colorectal cancer cells, and that knocking down both genes simultaneously can make cell growth change more remarkable, as shown in FIG. 7. The cell phenotype experiments show that SENP7e and SENP7 play a role in inhibiting cancer in colorectal cancer, and can play a certain synergistic effect to inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer cells.
Combining the above bioinformatics analysis, large-scale crowd data and biological function experiments, the results show that compared with individuals carrying the rs3094296[ C ] allele, individuals carrying the rs3094296[ T ] allele have lower colorectal cancer disease risk, and the action mechanism of the individuals has stronger enhancer activity by influencing the binding capacity of rs3094296 and the transcription factor HOXA5, so that the expression of eRNA SENP7e in the region is increased, the expression of a downstream target gene SENP7 is further promoted, and the growth of colorectal cancer cells is finally inhibited. Therefore, detection of rs3094296 variation in the population helps identify the high risk population for colorectal cancer, thereby assisting early intervention in colorectal cancer patients.

Before CCK-8 proliferation and clonogenic experiments, cell counting is required to ensure that appropriate numbers of cells are seeded in different groups of well plates. The experiment used a blood cell counting plate consisting of two equally sized cells, each cell consisting of nine 1mm x 1mm squares, each square accommodating 0.1mm 3 Liquid volume. The specific counting steps are as follows:
(1) and (3) digesting the cell pore plate after being cultured for a period of time to obtain a cell suspension, and uniformly mixing and scattering the cells as much as possible.
(2) The counting plate is sterilized and then covered with a cover glass.
(3) 10. Mu.L of the cell suspension was aspirated and slowly dropped into the counting plate along the edge of the slide, ensuring no air bubbles were generated between the cover glass and the counting plate).
(4) The plate was left to stand for 1min, and the square at the four corners was counted under a microscope as follows: a. for cells pressed against the square edges, only the upper and left cells are counted, b. If the cells are clumped, they are counted as one cell.
(5) Cell suspension concentration = total number of cells in square/4×10 4 And each mL.
2) CCK-8 cell proliferation assay
The present study uses CCK-8 kit (Dojindo, japan) to examine colorectal cancer cell proliferation capacity.
(1) 100. Mu.L of the cell suspension was aspirated and diluted to a cell size of about 2,000 at the concentration counted, and plated in 96-well plates.
(2) Cell activity assays were performed at four time points, 24h, 48h, 72h and 96 h. To each well, 10. Mu.L of CCK-8 reagent was added, and the mixture was shaken up and down and left and right to mix gently and returned to the cell incubator for further cultivation for 1.5 hours.
(3) Absorbance measurement was performed using a microplate reader, the wavelength was set at 450nm, and cell proliferation curves of different experimental groups were plotted according to absorbance values at four time points to compare differences.
3) Cloning formation experiments
(1) After 36h of transfection of cells, cell counts were performed and diluted to appropriate concentrations. 2mL of the cell suspension was added to each well of the 6-well plate to give a cell amount of about 1,000, and the culture was continued for about 2 weeks.
(2) During which the cell morphology was observed every 2-3 days and fresh medium was changed. If cell clones are observed under a microscope, a fixation stain may be performed.
(3) The 6-well plate was removed from the incubator, the waste liquid was aspirated and slowly washed 2 times with PBS. After each well of PBS was blotted, 2mL of methanol solution was added and left at room temperature for 30min.
(4) After methanol was removed by suction, a 0.25% crystal violet solution was added and the mixture was left in the dark for 30min to dye.
(5) After the dyeing is finished, waste liquid in the hole is sucked, the hole plate is washed by double distilled water until the visual field is clear, and photographing and storage are carried out.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and any such modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
