Plasmid vector psiCHECKTM-2 is purchased from Promega companies, and the carrier contains a Renilla luciferase reporter base Because of (hRluc), and internal reference is used as containing firefly luciferase gene (Fluc).Ribozyme sequence (SmTheo) is ribozyme of the present invention The sequence of type gene expression regulation element is given birth to the biological Co., Ltd of work by Shanghai and synthesized, and is inserted by restriction enzyme site XhoI and PmeI Enter 3 ' UTR of the hRluc genes into plasmid vector psiCHECKTM-2, be used as experimental vehicle;Cell pyrolysis liquid and luciferase Detection kit is purchased from Promega companies;Theophylline is purchased from Aladdin Reagent Company;Hela cells be purchased from ATCC, using containing The RPIM-1640 medium cultures of 10% cow's serum are in 5%CO2Cell culture incubator in;96 orifice plates are laid on 10000/hole On, when degrees of fusion reaches more than 90%, using LipofectamineTM2000 transfection experiments or control vector, more renew after 24h The culture medium of the fresh, theophylline containing prescribed concentration;Cell lysis after 24h is cultivated, and successively detects the firefly of Fluc, hRluc in each hole Light value, target gene hRluc expression is calculated according to following formula:
Each result is at least obtained through three independent experiments.
The design of embodiment 1, ribozyme type gene expression regulation element of the present invention
The nucleotide sequence of ribozyme type gene expression regulation element designed by the present invention as shown in SEQ ID NO.1, it Contain a hammerhead ribozyme (Sm ribozymes) from Schistosoma mansoni and one can specific recognition theophylline it is artificial fit (Theo-aptamer) it is, fit to be connected on the stem III of hammerhead ribozyme;The controlling element is in the cell with target gene Two kinds of conformations i.e. A conformations and B conformations shown in Fig. 1 can be formed (according to RNA secondary structure prediction softwares by being transcribed into after RNA RNAstructure 5.6);In Fig. 1:A is conformation of the ribozyme when being not bound with part;B is structure of the ribozyme after binding partner As;1 is Sm ribozymes;2 be theophylline aptamer;3 be intervening sequence), and ribozyme construct, can self cracked;Aptamer structure domain in A conformations Do not fold correctly, it is impossible to which with ligand binding, and ribozyme construct correctly folds and is folded into activity conformation, can self cracked;B Fit correct folding in conformation, with the ability with ligand binding, and ribozyme activity is destructurized, loses cracking ability;Between The folding that can make whole ribozyme every sequence is not influenceed by sequence around;When intracellular ligand concentration is 0, whole sequence is inclined To in forming A conformations, the cracking of ribozyme causes mRNA to be broken, gene expression amount reduction;With the increase of ligand concentration, whole sequence Row increasingly tend to form B conformations, and mRNA integrality is maintained, and gene expression amount is consequently increased.
Theophylline aptamer is connected on the stem III of hammerhead ribozyme by the present invention, and catenation sequence is that length is 12 nucleotides Random sequence (with overstriking font show).By hRluc genes in these sequences insertion plasmid vector psiCHECKTM-2 3 ' UTR, obtain experimental vehicle, transfect Hela cells;Using psiCHECKTM-2 plasmids as control vector, pass through luciferase point Before and after analysis detection theophylline is added, the expression change of hRluc genes;A kind of ON types ribozyme type gene expression regulation is obtained so as to unexpected Element, through sequencing, the controlling element sequence (i.e. SmTheo) is as shown in SEQ ID NO.1:
AAACAAACAAACTGAGGTGCAGGTACATCCAGCTGACGAGTCCCAAATAGGACGAAAAGCTATACCAGC CGAAAGGCCCTTGGCAGAGCTAGCTTCCTGGATTCCACTGCTATCCACAAAAAGAAAAATAAAAA;
And other sequences, as shown in SEQ ID NO.2, SEQ ID NO.3, SEQ ID NO.4, SEQ ID NO.5 SmTheoM1-4 (is specifically shown in Table 1), although there was only the difference of 1-4 base respectively with SmTheo, but carries out each ribozyme in Hela When being tested in cell to the regulating effect that renilla luciferase (hRluc) is expressed, it has been found that SmTheoM1-4 does not have gene table Up to regulating and controlling effect (as shown in Figure 2).
The SmTheoM1-4 of table 1 nucleotide sequence
Embodiment 2, the comparison with the ON type ribozyme regulator control systems of document report
Prove that effective ON types ribozyme regulator control system is considerably less in mammalian cell, L2Bulge8 and L2Bulge9 It is two ribozyme regulator control systems available for mammalian cell of the reports such as Win, part is similarly theophylline, but its ribozyme is derived from The sTRSV hammerhead ribozymes of nepovirus.
The Shanghai biological Co., Ltd of life work is entrusted to synthesize above-mentioned existing L2Bulge8, L2Bulge9 and sTRSV ribozyme sequence Row, and it is inserted into by restriction enzyme site XhoI and PmeI 3 ' UTR of hRluc genes.Equally with empty carrier (psiCHECKTM- 2) it is Control, the result after luciferase assay is as shown in Figure 3.
Simple sTRSV ribozymes represent the maximum suppression ability to target gene in all ribozymes of experiment, from Fig. 3 As can be seen that when ligand concentration is 0.Insert the presently disclosed controlling element sequence i.e. gene expression of SmTheo carrier Level is far below L2Bulge8, L2Bulge9, and relatively sTRSV ribozymes now should illustrate to the inhibition of gene expression The leakage of vector gene expression is slighter;(1.7 times) of SmTheo regulation and control multiple is higher than L2Bulge8 and L2Bulge9 simultaneously, shows More preferable regulation and control amplitude is shown.In addition, Fig. 3 also shows the target gene leakage of SmTheo and its mutant nucleotide sequence SmTheoM2~4 Expression quantity is more much smaller than L2Bulge8, L2Bulge9, because the former fit stem III for being connected to hammerhead ribozyme On, and the fit of the latter is connected on the stem II of hammerhead ribozyme, the interaction in stem I, stem II between cyclic structure (loop) It is essential to the effectively cracking of hammerhead ribozyme in the cell, therefore this connected mode of the latter may hinder ribozyme construct The cracking ability in domain.
By preceding described, sequence SmTheo disclosed by the invention is a kind of fit change being connected on hammerhead ribozyme stem III Structure ribozyme is controlling element, and the regulation and control of ON types are showed to target gene, have more rigorous tune than existing ribozyme regulator control system Control ability and bigger regulation and control amplitude.
