Method for Dkaonmuag Rheumatoid Arthrits Techuical Field The invention of the present application relates to a method for diagnosing disease gene in human rheumatoid arthritis.
Backpound Art The condition of arthritis and joint destruction that are the cause of rheumatoid arthritis, particularly their pathological process, has gradually been elucidated through diverse studies. Many autoimmune diseases to which the rheumatoid arthritis belongs are first developed into a disease and become worse through overlapping many causal factors. In this situation, in order to make correct investigation of the diseases and an appropriate therapy therefor, the true form of multi-factorial interaction per ae has to be elucidated.
Though the incidence rate of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is 1% or less worldwide Engl. J. Med. 322: 1277-1289, 1990), the ratio of the risk for sibling of pati-nts is approximately 8% or more (Cell. 85: 311-318. 1996), and accordingly some genetic factors have been assumed as causative factors. The molecular genetic techniques or genetic engineering techniques usually used in identification of the genetic factors of the diseases, however, do not function effectively for autoimmune diseases. The reason is that the incident mechanism of autoimmune diseases is quite different from a biologically simple mechanism in cancers in which abnormal proliferation is caused by a single gene mutation. On F RO0M NRW 20024 4M2B(118:05/0417:57/MX 4503499396 P 4 the other~ haind, the so far classical genetic techniques investigating the hereditary base of diseases have elucidated that the autoinmiune diseases are caused by a multiple factorial inheritance, but it has not be possible to follow after the inner part or the true form. Thus, in fact, with respect to the genes predisposing to rheumatoid arthritis, not only their entities but also their gene loci on the chrbmosome has not yet been elucidated.
In this situation, the inventors of the present application conducted a linkage analysis using a niicrosatelite marker on a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and his blood relatives and identified the 3 genetic loci at which the diseaae genes of the rheumatoid arthritis are located. (International Immunology 10(12): 1891-1895, 1998; Journal of Clinical Rheumatology 156-158, 1998).
The following disease genes have been filed as a Patent Application PCT/JP98/0 1665.
is Disease gene of rheumatoid arthritis in the human chromosome I whichis located within *1 centi morgan (cM) from the DNA sequence to which a rmcrosatelite marker D1IS214 and/or D1S253 hybridize.
Disease gene of rheumatoid arthritis in the human chromosome 8 which is located within :1 1 cM from the DNA sequence to wvhich a microeatelite markcer D8S556 hybridize.
Disease gene of rheumatoid arthritis in the human chromosome X which is located within il cM from the DNA sequence to which zmcrosatelite markers DXSlOO1, DXS1O47, DXS12OS, DXS1227 and/or DXS1232 hybridize.
The present inventors continued to investigate the respective genes of the diseases in the above-described earlier patent application. As results, they found that the physical positions of the markers DIS214 and DIS253 on the 084 Radiation hybrid map relating to the above disease genes are mapped on 21. 14cR3000 and 23.56cR3000, respectively, and that the death receptor gene 04/08 '06 FRI 14:06 FAX 61299255911 GRIFFITI HACK IAj008 DKl3 is located at dub flAighboT 2-2. 1 4cR3000 (Nature 384; 372-375, 1996; .Proc.

bmaple 1 RFLP Anmlymis of ZcoRI hagment Genornic DNAs were prepared from the peripheral blood of healthy persons and RA patients according to the guanidine thiocyanate method (Nippon Yuketsu Gakkai Zasabi (Journal of the Japan Society of Blood Transfusion), 40(2): 413, 1994). Briefly, 20 ml of cell membrane lysis solution (solution 1: 0.32M sucrose, 1%v/v Triton X-100, 5mM MgCb2, 12mM This-HCI pH 7.6) was added to ml of peripheral blood containing EDTA. The mixture was aptated under upsetting and centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes to recover the nuclei. Five ml of nuclear membrane lysis solution (solution 11: 4M guanidine thyocyanate, 12mM EDTA, 375mM NaCi, 0.5% N-lauroyl sarcosinate, 0. 1M P-mercaptoerthanol, 12mM Tris-HC1 pH 7.6) was added to the recovered nucli. The mixture was incubated at 55*C for 10 minutes and precipitated with ethanol to give the genomic: DNA.
Seventy-five urut of EcoRl (Takara Shuzo) and 20 pl of l~xil buffer tTakara, Shuzo) was added to 10 pg of the genomic DNA and the whole was made up to 200 pl with sterile water. The resulting solution was incubated at 37*C for 18 hours to digest the genoinic DNA to give EcoRi fragments. Then, 100 p1 of phenol and 100 p1 of chloroform were added to the reaction mixture, and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 minutes to recover the supernatant, from which was recovered fragmented DNAs by means of a conventional ethanol precipitation.
The resulting DNA fragments were electrophoresed on 0.7% Agarose L (Nippon Gene) along with a molecular weight maker )./HindllI (Nippon Gene) in a TAE buffer at 50V for about 2 hours, The gel was immersed in a denaturation 'ROM NO 97 200X~ 4M26(BI8:6/17:57/M. 4503499396 P 8 solution (0.5M NaOH, 1.5M NaCl) for 25 minutes and then in a neutralization solution (0.5M Tris-HCl pH 7T5, 1.5M NaCi) for 30 minutes. The DNA in the gel was transferred to a nylon membrane (Hybond-N4-, Amersham FharmacWa overtnight by means of a conventional capillary technique and immobilized on the mdinbrane with a UV croas-linker (Japan Genetic). As a capillary buffer. I1OxSSC wag used.
Hybridization and detection of the DNA fragments were conducted using a Gene ImagesN labeling detection system (Amersham Pharrnaca) as follows. The membrane fixed DNA was immersed in a hybridization buffer (5xSSC, 0.l0/w/v SDS, S%w/v dextran sulfate (mol.wt. 500,000; Sigma), 5%/v/v blacing reagent (attached to the kcit)] and shaken at 60*C for 30 minutes for pre-hybridization.
DR3 cDNA was amplified by Rlr-PCR from the total RNA obtained from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy persons. An oligonucleotide having the base sequence of the 159-424 position of SEQ ID NO: 1 was prepared from this cDNA, and this was labeled with fluorescein to give a probe. This probe was heat denatured under heating at 95 0 C for 5 minutes, then added to a pre-hybridization solution at a concentration of 10 ng/rnl and the membrane was shaken at 60*C overnight for hybridization. This was washed with a buffer (lxSSC, 0.1%/w/v SDS) pre-heated at 60*C for 15 minutes, and further washed withi another buffer lxSSC, 0. 1%/w/v SDS) for 1S minutes. The membrane was rnsed roughly with Buffer A (100mM Ths-HC pH 9.5, 300mM NaCi) and blocked with a blocing agent (attached to the kit) diluted 10 times with Buffer A at room temperature for 1 hour. The membrane was rin sed roughly with Buffer A, then immersed in an antibody-diluted solution [alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-fluorescein antibody (attached to the kIt) diluted 5,000 times with Buffer A containing 0,5%w/v BSA] and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour, The membrane was washed 3 times with Buffer A containing O.3%/v/v Thween 20 at room temperature with shaldng for 10 minutes. The membrane was rinsed FROM NI W 2OO2* 4 6()80/.A1:7 440499 P 9 roughly with Buffer A. then immersed in a detection reagent (attached to the kit) and exposed to an X-ray film (Fuji Film).
The result is as shown in Fig. 1. In the healthy persons, only a band indicating the presence of about 9 kb DNA fragment was detected. On the other hand, in the RA patients, a band indicating the presence of about 7 kb DNA fragment in addition to the about 9 kb DNA fragment was detected (polytypic bands).
From the above results, it was confirmed that the RA patient can be dutgnosed by fragmenting the genomic DNA with EcoRI and confirming the presence of the about 7 kb DNA fragmnt hybridizing with said probe.
Rumple 2 RFL? Analysis of Dm1d fragments The analysis was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the restriction enzyme DraI (Takara Shuzo) and lOxM buffer flTakara. Shuzo) were used.
The result is as shown in Fig. 2. In the healthy persons, bands of about kb or more DNA fragments were detected. On the other hand, in the RA patients, a polytypic band indicating the presence of about 1.5 kb DNA fragment in i&ddition to the about 10 kb or more DNA fragments was detected.
From the above results, it was confirmed that the RA patient can be diagnosed by fragmenting the gcnomic DNA with Dral and conirning the presence of the about 1.5 kcb DNA fragment hybridizing with said probe.
FROM NIWJ Vj FR ~2O2* 4 26B(i)l8:07/-qI7:57/Xt.#453499396 ftnuple 3 Quantificatlon of DR3 =RNA S Heparinized peripheral blood (10 ml each) collected from 6 healthy persons anid 7 RA patients was mixed with an equal volume of a phosphate buffer (PBS) and layered on 20 ml of Lymphoprer (Daiichi Pure Chemicals). The mixture was centrifuaged at 1,500 rpm for 30 minutes to collect the peripheral blood monionuclear cells, which were then washed with PBS and suspended in a medium (RPM 1640/ 10% FCS). The cell suspension (5 x 105 cells/mI; 10 m4) was distributed on a 10 am dish, and incubated under stimulation with 20 ng/ml of PMA (Sigma) and I pig/rnl of PH-A (Difco Laboratories) in a Condition of 5% C02, 37*C, for 48 hours. The cells were recovered, washed with PBS, and treated with Isogen (Nippon Gene) to prepare the total RNAs.
The total RNAs were subjected to a quantitative RT-PCR using a kIt taqMan Cold RZT-PCR Reagents)(Perldn Elmer Using reagents attached to the kit. 100 rig of the total RNA was reverse-transcribed with a program of 10 minutes, 48*C/30 minutes, and 9s*C/S minutes. A variety of primers, probes and reagents attached to the it were added in a defuLnite amount to 1 /100 of this solution as a template, and the mixture was subjected to PCR. The amount mRNA was determined by an ABI PRISM 7700 PCR was conducted in a condition- 1 cycle, 50*C/2 minutes; 1 cycle, 95*C/ 10 minutes; and then cyd ea, 9 5C/ 15 seconds for thermal denaturation and 60*C/ 1 minute for annealing and extension reaction. Quantification of DR3 was conducted aiming at mRNA expressed from the DR3 gene cDNA containing the cell tranemembrane region (the base sequence of the 689-760 position of SEQ ID NO: 1) and rnRNA expressed from the DR3 gene cDNA containing the death domain region (the base sequence of the 1091-1330 position of SEQ ID NO:1). The probes and the PCR primers were as follows.
FROM ER"TMP 2OO2* 4M I80/A757 40499 P 11 Cell trartmembrane region Probe: Oligonucleotide comprising the base sequence of the 691-7 position in SEQ ID NO:1 (6-carboxy-fluorescein attached at 5-end and 6-carboxy-tetramethyl-rhodamine attached at 3'-end).
Sense primer: Oligonucleotide corresponding to the base sequence of the 46"-85 position in SEQ ID NO: 1.
Antisense primer- Oligonucleotide corresponding to the base sequence of the 743-762 position in SEQ ID NO: 1.
Death domain region Probe: Oligonucleotide comprising the base sequence of the 115441173 position in SEQ ID NO: 1 (6-carboxy-fluorescein attached at 5'-end and 6-carboxcy-tctrazzethyl-rhodaxnine attached at 3'-end).
is Sense prnmer: Oligonucleotide correnponding to the base sequence of the 9 12-932 position in SEQ ID NO: 1.- Antisense primer: Oligonucleotide corresponding to the base sequence of the 1209-1232 position in SEQ ID NO; 1.
in th-,is operation, rRNA was quantiied as an internal standard at the same tixe and used for correction. The probe used in the quantification of rRNA is an oligonucleotide comprising the base sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 (2 ,7-dimethow -,S-dichloro-6-carboxy-fluorescein attached at 5'-end and 6-crboxy-tetra-methyl-rhodamine attached at 3'-end). The PCR primers used in the quantification of rRNA are oligonucleotides comprising the base sequences of SEQ ID) NO:3 (sense primer) and SEQ ID NO:4 (antisense primer), respectively.
The calibration curves used for determination of DR3 and rRNA were prepared using plasmids as templates obtained by cloning cDNAs of DR3 and rRNA, respectively. In each case, the same sample was measured 3 times. The FROM 2002* 426B()18:08/1l7:57/A 14503499396 P 12 amount of DR3 mRNA was indicated by the correction value derived by dividing by the value of rRNA measured simultaneously.
The results are as shown in Fig. 3. In the death domain region, the amount of DR3 mRNA was 0.90 0.26 (mean SE) for the RA patients and 0.92 t 0.43 for the healthy persons, and no significant difference was observed betweenm their amounts. To the contrary, in the cell transmembrane region, the amount was 1.84 0.27 for the RA patients and 0.82 1 0.25 for the healthy persons, and there was observed a significant increase of DR3 mRNA expression in the RA patients.
From the above results, it was confirmed that the RA patients can be diagnosed by stimulating the peripheral blood mononuclear cells with PMA and PHA, determining the amount of mRNA from the base sequence of the 689-760 position of SEQ ID NO:1 I or the amount of a polypeptide (having the amnino acid sequence of the 201-224 position of SEQ ID NO: 1) transcribed from said mRNA, and judging whether the expressed amount is at least 2 or more of that of healthy persons.
Industrial Applicability As described above in detail, according to the invention of the present application, it is possible to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis conveniently and exctly. Such diagnoses are useful in development of a novel therapy or therapeutics for the rheumatoid arthritis.
