Description

CLIC3 as diagnosis and treatment target of lung adenocarcinoma
Technical Field
The invention relates to the fields of tumor diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction, in particular to a tumor diagnosis and prognosis prediction method by taking CLIC3 abnormality detection as a means; and a tumor therapeutic agent which activates CLIC3 gene or protein.
Background
Lung cancer is a serious disease that is seriously threatening to human life and health. The 2008 global statistics results published by World Health Organization (WHO) international agency for research on cancer IARC 2011 show: lung cancer is a malignant tumor with high morbidity and mortality. The number of new cases is 160.8 ten thousand and the number of death cases is 137.7 ten thousand worldwide each year, accounting for 12.7% and 18.2% of all malignant tumors. The statistical results published by the american cancer society show that: it is expected that in 2012, the number of new lung cancer cases in the united states will reach 22.6 ten thousand, and the number of deaths due to lung cancer will reach 16 ten thousand. In China, the third national cause of death review sample survey conducted by the ministry of health shows that: the lung cancer is the first cause of death of malignant tumors in a sample area, and the gross mortality rate is 30.83/10 ten thousand, wherein 41.34/10 ten thousand are used for men and 19.84/10 ten thousand are used for women; the first cause of cancer death in both men and women. With the acceleration of global aging and the aggravation of environmental pollution, the incidence of lung cancer will continue to rise, and therefore, the development and demand for research on lung cancer diagnosis and treatment will be increasingly strong.
Tumor markers are biologically active substances produced by abnormal expression of cancer genes or other tumor-associated genes and their products in tumor cells or tissues or shed from cancer tissues themselves, and are expressed to some extent or produced in minimal amounts in normal tissues or benign diseases. It reflects the process of cancer generation and development, can be detected in tissues, body fluids and excreta of tumor patients, and is widely applied to the diagnosis of tumors, the monitoring of recurrence, metastasis, prognosis, the prediction of curative effect and the like. The only markers currently used in the clinical auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer are protein markers, such as CEA, CA125, CYFRA21-1, and although the above protein markers are currently used in the auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer, the diagnosis efficiency is low and the clinical requirement is not met. Therefore, the development of new diagnostic markers and diagnostic methods has been elusive.
The early diagnosis of tumors at the molecular level, especially at the gene level, has become a trend in the field of tumor diagnosis, and in the diagnosis of lung cancer, the application numbers are: 201510220102.9, 201510233085.2, 201510243857, 201610202285.6, 201610200867, 201610200574.2 and 201610200855.8 patent documents all disclose gene markers that can be used for lung cancer diagnosis. The present application is based on the prior art to find new biomarkers that can be used for lung cancer diagnosis.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Experimental procedures without specific conditions noted in the examples, generally following conventional conditions, such as Sambrook et al, molecular cloning: the conditions described in the laboratory Manual (New York: Cold Spring harbor laboratory Press,1989), or according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Example 1 screening for differentially expressed genes
1. Material taking:
cancer tissue and paracarcinoma tissue were surgically removed from 8 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma as experimental specimens. All cancer tissues were pathologically confirmed post-operatively as lung adenocarcinoma. All patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma do not undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy before operation, and all clinical data of all cases are complete.
2. Tissue RNA acquisition
Total RNA was extracted from tissue samples, the concentration and purity of the extracted RNA was determined using a Nanodrop2000, RNA integrity was determined by agarose gel electrophoresis, and RIN was determined by Agilent 2100. The total amount of RNA required for single library construction is 5ug, the concentration is more than or equal to 200 ng/mu L, and the OD260/280 is between 1.8 and 2.2.
3. Removal of rRNA
A part (> 24%) of long non-coding RNA in cells is short of a traditional poly A tail, so that more comprehensive lncRNA information can be obtained by constructing a library in a way of removing rRNA.
4. Fragmented RNA
The Illumina platform is used for sequencing short sequence fragments, mRNA and lncRNA obtained by removing rRNA are complete RNA sequences, the average length can reach several kb, and random interruption is needed. The RNA can be randomly fragmented into small fragments of about 200bp by using metal ions.
5. Reverse Synthesis of cDNA
When double-strand synthesis is performed by reverse-transcribing a single-strand cDNA using mRNA as a template with a random primer by reverse transcriptase, dUTP is used instead of dTTP in dNTPs reagents so that the base in the second strand of the cDNA contains A/U/C/G.
6. Connection adapter
The double-stranded cDNA structure is sticky-ended, and is made blunt-ended by adding End Repair Mix, followed by an A base at the 3' End for ligation to a Y-shaped adaptor.
7. UNG enzyme digestion of cDNA double strand
Before PCR amplification, the second strand of cDNA was digested with UNG enzyme, so that only the first strand of cDNA was contained in the library.
8. Sequencing on Illumina Hiseq4000
Enriching the library, and amplifying 15 cycles by PCR;
band of interest was recovered from 2% Agarose gel (verified Low Range Ultra Agarose);
TBS380(PicoGreen) is quantified and mixed according to the data proportion;
performing bridge PCR amplification on cBot to generate clusters;
hiseq4000 sequencing platform, 2 × 150bp sequencing.
9. Raw sequencing data filtering
Trimming off low-quality bases (with the quality value of less than 20) at the tail ends (5 'end and 3' end) of the sequence;
removing reads with the N content ratio exceeding 10%;
10. differential mRNA expression analysis
Analysis software: cuffdiff (http:// Cufflinks. cbcb. umd. edu /)
Cuffdiff is a tool used for calculating differential expression in a Cufflinks suite, and Cuffdiff uses the result of Tophat comparison to call Cufflinks to calculate the expression quantity of each gene/transcript. The software is usually run with default parameters, while the parameters are appropriately adjusted according to the actual conditions, such as the amount of sequencing data and the genome condition.
Significantly different mRNA screening conditions: p-value <0.05, and the difference between the count averages of the two groups is greater than 10.
11. Results
The sequencing result shows that: compared with the paracarcinoma tissues, 1321 genes are differentially expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, 587 are up-regulated and 734 are down-regulated.
Example 2 validation of Large samples of the selected differentially expressed genes

Example 4 measurement of the proliferative Capacity of Lung adenocarcinoma cells by expression of CLIC3 Gene
1. The method comprises the following steps:
24 hours after transfection, lung adenocarcinoma cells A549 were seeded into 96-well cell culture plates at 2 x 10 per well3Individual cells/well/200 μ l, cells were grouped as follows:
experimental group 1 (control group): transfecting a lung adenocarcinoma cell with pcDNA3.1;
experimental group 2: the lung adenocarcinoma cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-CLIC 3.
Cells were incubated at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2After incubation of the incubator for another 24 hours, the cell proliferation rate was measured according to the instructions of the Brd U cell proliferation kit (Chemicon International).
2. Statistical method
The experiments were performed in 3 replicates, the results were expressed as mean ± sd, and were statistically analyzed using SPSS13.0 statistical software, with the difference between the two using the t-test, and considered statistically significant when P < 0.05.
3. Results
The results are shown in fig. 5, where the cell proliferation was reduced compared to experimental group 1, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The experimental results show that CLIC3 expression can inhibit lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation.
