Description

Application of human GTPBP4 gene and related medicine thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to application of a human GTPBP4 gene and a related medicament thereof.
Background
RNA interference (RNAi) is the post-transcriptional gene silencing by short double-stranded RNA (dsrna) composed of nucleotides. It can block the expression of specific gene in body efficiently and specially to result in its degradation, so that it can cause the silencing of specific gene in the body and make the cell show the deletion of some gene phenotype. Studies have shown that double-stranded RNA of 21-23nt in length is capable of specifically causing RNAi at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels (Tuschl T, Zamore PD, Sharp PA, Bartel DP. RNAi: double-stranded RNA direct the ATP-dependent cleavage of mRNA at 21to23nucleotide intervals. cell 2000; 101: 25-33.). The five-year survival rate of tumor patients is very low although chemotherapy, radiotherapy and comprehensive treatment are carried out on the tumor patients, and if genes related to the tumor morbidity and progression can be intervened, a new way for treating tumors can be developed. In recent years, RNAi has become an effective strategy for gene therapy of tumors. RNAi technology can be used to inhibit the expression of proto-oncogenes, mutated anti-oncogenes, cell cycle-related genes, anti-apoptosis-related genes, etc., to inhibit tumor progression (Uplichard, Susan L. the therapeutic potential of RNA interference. FEBS Letters 2005; 579: 5996-.
GTPBP4 is a GTP binding protein, originally discovered by differential display PCR with differential expression in renal disease, which functions as a gtpase that can act as a molecular switch to exist in two distinct states of inactivity; is inactive when bound to GTP and active when bound to GDP, at which time the molecular switch opens some downstream signaling pathway in the activated cell. When the exogenous receptor binds to a GTP-like receptor. The conformation of the receptor is changed, opening of the trimeric G protein switch releases GDP, thereby forming GTP, when the G protease hydrolyzes the high energy phosphate bond of GTP bound thereto, the switch is closed, and the conversion of GTP into GDP (Laning NJ1, Olson BA, Zhu Y. identification of a novel nuclear hormone expressed In amino acids such as Soc protein 2001 May; 12 (883-90.) is necessary that the complex formed by GTPBP4 and Nog1 can participate In the synthesis of 60S ribosomal subunit (Jensen BC, Wang Q, Safer CT, Parsons help 1GTP-binding protein expressed In biological genes for the synthesis of 60S ribosomal subunit of chemical tissue of molecular tissue of GTPaseNog1.mol Cell Biol 27: 7735-

24h before transfection, human embryonic kidney cell 293T cells in logarithmic growth phase were trypsinized and cell density was adjusted to 1.5X 10 in DMEM complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum5Cells/ml, seeded in 6-well plates at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2Culturing in an incubator. The cell density can reach 70-80% to be used for transfection. 2h before transfection, the original medium was aspirated and 1.5ml of fresh complete medium was added. Mu.l of Packing Mix (PVM), 12. mu.l of PEI, and 400. mu.l of serum-free DMEM medium were added to a sterilized centrifuge tube according to the instructions of the MISSION Lentiviral Packing Mix kit from Sigma-aldrich, and 20. mu.l of the above-mentioned extracted plasmid DNA was added to the above-mentioned PVM/PEI/DMEM mixture.
The transfection mixture was incubated at room temperature for 15min, transferred to medium of human embryonic kidney 293T cells at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2Culturing for 16h in an incubator. The medium containing the transfection mixture was discarded, washed with PBS solution and 2ml of complete medium was added. Because the lentivirus vector carries a reporter gene of green fluorescent protein, the lentivirus vector can be placed under a fluorescent microscope to observe the expression condition of GFP of two groups of cells after 24 hours, and whether the lentivirus plasmid is packaged by 293T cells is determined. After an additional 48h of culture, cell supernatants were collected and lentiviruses were purified and concentrated by a Centricon Plus-20 centrifugal ultrafiltration unit (Millipore) according to the following steps: (1) centrifuging at 4 deg.C and 4000g for 10min to remove cell debris; (2) filtering the supernatant with 0.45 μm filter in 40ml ultracentrifuge tube, adding virus crude extract sample into filter cup (up to 19ml), covering lid, inserting the filter cup into filtrate collecting tube; (3) after the virus is well mixed, well balanced, placed on a rotating head, centrifuged at 4000g for 10-15min until the required virus concentration volume is reached; (4) after the centrifugation is finished, taking out the centrifugal device, separating the filter cup from the lower filtrate collecting cup, reversely buckling the filter cup on the sample collecting cup, and centrifuging for 2min until the centrifugal force is not more than 1000 g; (5) the centrifuge cup is removed from the sample collection cup, and the virus concentrate is obtained. Subpackaging the virus concentrated solution and storing at-80 ℃. The sequence of the first strand of siRNA contained in the virus concentrate is shown in SEQ ID NO 13.The packaging procedure for the control lentivirus was identical to that for the GTPBP4-siRNA lentivirus, except that the pGCSIL-GFP-Scr-siRNA vector was used in place of the pGCSIL-GFP-GTPBP4-siRNA vector.
