At the shRNA of hepatitis B virus and carry its recombinant adeno-associated virus gene therapy vector
Technical field
The present invention relates to molecular biology and biological medicine technology field, specifically, the present invention relates to shRNA at hepatitis B virus, carry its carrier and they treat and/or prevent application in the hepatitis B virus infection disease in preparation.
Background technology
The whole world has and surpasses 3.5 hundred million hepatitis B virus (annual nearly 1,000,000 people die from by HBV and infect caused hepatic diseases for hepatitis B virus, HBV) carrier.Chronic HBV infection has become the worldwide disease of serious harm human health.Chronic infectious patients uses Interferon, rabbit and nucleic acid analog to treat usually.In clinical application, because the result of treatment of Interferon, rabbit is undesirable, the highest rate of should beating with a stick has only 40%, and the appearance of the side effect of nucleic acid analog and the problems such as resistance that produced by the HBV sudden change, still need explore medicine and the method for the anti-HBV of novel and effective.
RNA disturbs (RNA interference, RNAi) be by small molecules interference RNA fragment (small interfering RNA, siRNA) thus induce the natural process that causes gene silencing with the degraded of the specificity of its homologous mRNA, be sequence-specific PTGS (post transcriptional gene silencing, PTGS).The RNAi phenomenon is Fire etc.
[1]When research nematode gene function, find, find that thereafter this phenomenon almost is present in all eukaryotic cells.That the performance main effects is the siRNA of the about 21-23bp of a segment length among the RNAi.SiRNA is double-stranded RNA (the double stranded RNA that produces by variety of way by in the specific nucleic acid restriction endonuclease cutting body, dsRNA) form, siRNA unwinds and becomes strand, wherein antisense strand siRNA and corresponding proteins in conjunction with formation induce reticent mixture (RNA induced silencing complex, RISC).The homologous region of RISC by the mRNA that transcribes with allogenic gene carries out specificity and combines, and induces the homologous gene degraded in the combining site cutting.
The characteristic of the efficient single-minded ground of RNAi inhibition of gene expression makes it obtain using widely aspect gene functional research.The more important thing is that the RNAi technology not only demonstrates irreplaceable superiority in functional genome research, and become possibility for some disease that is difficult to treat provides a kind of new treatment means.Virus disease, especially the disease that is caused by HIV, HBV and HCV retroviral infection is having a strong impact on people's health, and present treatment means can't be effected a radical cure.The RNAi The Application of Technology may provide the means of better treatment and prevention.Hepatitis B virus belongs to hepadnavirus, its reproduction process is template with cccDNA, under the effect of host RNA polymerase II, is transcribed into the mRNA of several different length, wherein the mRNA of 3.5kb contains whole genetic information on the HBV dna sequence dna, is called pregenome RNA.The latter enters cytoplasm of liver as template, under the effect of HBV reversed transcriptive enzyme, and synthetic minus-strand dna; Be template again with the minus-strand dna, under the effect of HBV archaeal dna polymerase, synthetic positive chain DNA, the partially double stranded cyclic DNA of formation filial generation is assembled into complete HBV at last, is released into outside the liver cell.The partially double stranded cyclic DNA of filial generation in the kytoplasm also can enter in the liver cell nuclear, forms cccDNA again and continues to duplicate.Though as seen HBV is a dna virus, its replicanism and RNA viruses are similar.Utilize siRNA, can be directly at the mRNA of HBV, make it that specificity degraded take place, thus blocking-up from the mRNA of HBV to the DNA minus strand the reverse transcription process and various must proteinic translation process, reach the effect of anti-HBV.Existing marketed drug Interferon, rabbit and nucleoside analog more are expected to thoroughly remove hepatitis B virus more near the root of hepatitis B virus.
At present domestic and international several research groups have reported and have successfully used the RNA perturbation technique has suppressed hepatitis B virus efficiently in external and experimentation on animals infection duplication.Inhibiting rate to hepatitis B surface antigen content in the mice serum can be up to more than 90%.Viral DNA in the mouse liver and rna transcription also can effectively be suppressed.These data show that the RNA perturbation technique is the novel method of very promising treating hepatitis B, and the delivery system of multi-form and composition is adopted in these experiments mostly.Be published among the Mechanisms and strategies for effective delivery ofantisense and siRNA oligonucleotides on the Nucleic Acids Research magazines of 2008 36 12 phases of volume and reported the multiple RNA of being applicable to delivery system, but because these delivery system transfection efficiencies are low, cost is higher and the existence of problem such as cytotoxicity has limited it in Clinical Application.Seeking a kind of siRNA delivery system more economical, more high transfection efficiency and better security is RNAi urgent problem in clinical application.
