Description

Application of human IARS2 gene and related medicine thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biology, in particular to application of a human IARS2 gene and a related medicine 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-.
IARS2 is a mitochondrial protein (Cotter D, Guda P, Fahy E, Subramaniam S.2004.MitoProteome: mitochondrial protein sequence database and a nanotationsystem. nucleic Acids Res32: D463-D467.), IARS2 gene has a highly conserved evolutionary sequence, and studies have shown that in many species, the IARS2 gene was aligned, showing a conserved site in the map, and that p.P90L 9is a functional protein that is effective when queried by SIFT, but is likely to be disrupted by PolyPhon 2HumDiv and PolyPhon 2 HumVar. Further studies have shown that IARS2 protein in patient skin cells directly affects the p.P909L mutation [ Yao and Shoubabr idge,1999 ]. The IARS2 antibody is detected to be more in the mutant cells than in the wild-type fiber cells by the binding method of the immunohistochemical polyclonal antibody. The presence of the p.P909L mutation in the IARS2 gene did not affect the transcriptional activity of mitochondrial enzymes (Sasarman F, Shoubridge EA.2012.radio active labeling of mitochondral transformation products in pooled cells. methods Mol Biol 837: 207-217).
Clinical studies have shown that a reduction in the levels of IARS2 protein is found in cells in some patients, and it can be concluded that the alteration in IARS2 is a pathological mutation that is the initial cause of the pathological phenotype in some later-stage patients. Several functional experiments also demonstrated that a reduction in IARS2 protein leads to aberrant translation of the OXPHHO respiratory system (Konovalova S, Tyynisma H.2013.Mitochondrial a minoacyl-tRNA synthenases in hu-mandiscease. mol Genet Metab108: 206-.
However, the current experimental report of the IARS2 gene in tumor-related fields is still a blank, especially in the field of human glioma research.

the program was a two-step Real-time PCR: pre-denaturation at 95 ℃ for 15 s; then, denaturation is carried out at 95 ℃ for 5s in each step; annealing and extending for 30s at 60 ℃; a total of 45 cycles were performed. Each time reading the absorbance value during the extension phase. After the PCR was completed, the DNA was denatured at 95 ℃ for 1min, and then cooled to 55 ℃ to allow the DNA double strands to be sufficiently bound. Melting curves were prepared by increasing the temperature from 55 ℃ to 95 ℃ by 0.5 ℃ for 4 seconds and reading the absorbance. By adopting 2-ΔΔCtThe analysis method calculates the expression abundance of IARS2 infected mRNA. Cells infected with a control virus (Lv-Scr-siRNA) served as controls. The results of the experiment (fig. 2) show that the expression level of IARS2mRNA in glioma U251 cells was down-regulated by 87.3%.
Example 3 examination of the proliferative Capacity of IARS 2-siRNA-infected tumor cells
Glioma U251 cells in logarithmic growth phase were trypsinized to prepare a cell suspension (cell number about 5 × 10)4Perml) was inoculated into 6-well plates and cultured until the degree of cell confluence reached about 30%. according to the multiplicity of infection (MOI, U251:5), an appropriate amount of virus was added, the medium was changed after 24h of culture, and the experimental cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected after the infection time reached 5 days-complete medium was resuspended to a cell suspension (2 × 10)4Per ml) at a cell density of about 2000 per well, 96-well plates were seeded. Each set of 5 duplicate wells, 100. mu.l per well. After the plate is laid, the plate is placed at 37 ℃ and 5% CO2Culturing in an incubator. The plate readings were performed once a day with Cellomics apparatus (Thermo Fisher) for 5 consecutive days starting the second day after plating. The number of green fluorescent cells in the well plate for each scan was accurately calculated by adjusting the input parameters of the Cellomics arrayscan, and the data were statistically plotted to generate a cell proliferation curve (the results are shown in FIG. 3). The results show that after the tumor cells of the lentivirus infection group are cultured in vitro for 5 days, the proliferation speed is obviously slowed down and is far lower than that of the tumor cells of the control group, and the number of the active cells is reduced80.2% indicates that IARS2 gene silencing results in inhibition of tumor cell proliferation capacity.
