Description

Vector for expressing aptamer ribozyme modified sgRNA regulated and controlled by theophylline and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of biology, and relates to a vector, in particular to a vector for expressing an aptamer ribozyme modified sgRNA regulated and controlled by theophylline and application thereof.
Background
Aptamer ribozyme (Aptazyme) an aptamer ribozyme type riboswitch is an artificial gene regulation switch that has emerged in recent years. The most common aptamer ribozyme consists of hammerhead ribozyme and aptamer, has clear structure and is easy to design. As a cis-acting element, the aptamer ribozyme riboswitch can regulate the translation of mRNA by regulating the self-shearing reaction under the action of a specific ligand without the assistance of protein molecules, and can be applied to the gene regulation of various cells. One reported aptamer ribozyme P1-F5(

et al, 2010; ketzer, et al, 2014) can undergo self-shearing after being combined with theophylline, thereby causing the cutting and degradation of mRNA, thereby playing a role in regulating gene expression.
The Clustered Regulated Interstitial Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (cas)9 system was successfully engineered into a third generation artificial endonuclease useful for the editing of various complex genomes as well as zinc finger endonucleases (ZFNs) and transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs). At present, the technology is successfully applied to the precise modification of human cells, zebra fish, mice and bacterial genomes, and the modification types comprise gene site-specific mutation, gene site-specific knock-in, simultaneous mutation of two sites and deletion of small fragments. Due to the characteristics of high mutation efficiency, simple preparation and low cost, the method is considered to be a genome site-specific modification molecular tool with wide application prospect. The Cas9 nuclease can bind to any DNA containing PAM sequence under the guidance of sgRNA, wherein 20 nucleic acid sequences in the sgRNA target specific DNA through base complementary pairing, and binding of Cas9 and the target DNA is stabilized. The sgRNA can be complementarily paired with the target DNA to ensure Cas9 action site specificity by altering the sequence of the sgRNA to bind to any site. However, subsequent studies found that Cas9 allowed different numbers of mismatches between the gRNA 20nt sequence and the target DNA, depending on the number, location, and nature of the base mismatches. The resulting off-target problem limits the application of Cas9 editing technology in the clinic. The existing research indicates that the off-target effect of excessive cutting can be avoided by controlling the action time of the CRISPR-Cas9 system and turning off the CRISPR-Cas9 system after the cutting and editing aim is achieved.
The modified CRISPR/Cas9 can also be used for activating or inhibiting the expression of a target gene, a mutant dCas9 without cleavage activity, which is obtained by mutating a Cas9 protein, has the characteristic of combining the target gene under the guidance of a sgRNA sequence but not cleaving, and a dCas9-VP64 molecule constructed by fusing dCas9 and a transcription activation domain VP64 becomes a transcription activation factor capable of targeting a specific gene. Similarly, the transcriptional repression domain KRAB is fused at the 3' end of dCas9, and the obtained dCas9-KRAB molecule becomes a transcriptional repressing factor capable of targeting a specific gene. However, in gene therapy and functional studies, more precise temporal control is often required for the regulation of expression of a particular gene. Therefore, effective control means are also required for dCas9-VP64 or dCas 9-KRAB-mediated gene expression.
The main control segment for CRISPR/Cas9 system-mediated genome editing and dCas9-VP64 or dCas 9-KRAB-mediated gene expression activation and inhibition is regulated at the transcription, post-translation, etc. level of Cas9 protein. For example, Davis et al have modified Cas9 protein, so that it can undergo post-translational protein editing in the presence of 4-hydroxyttamoxifen (4-Hydroxytamoxifen) as a drug to generate active Cas9 protein, thereby initiating CRISPR/Cas9 system for gene editing. There are also researchers using tetracycline regulation systems to regulate Cas9 protein or sgRNA expression to regulate CRISPR/Cas9 activity, but such regulation systems would require the introduction of additional cis-regulatory elements and trans-regulatory factors.
A method for controlling the activity of CRISPR/Cas9 by regulating sgRNA through a pathway without introducing additional cis-regulatory elements and trans-regulatory factors is a new strategy. The applicant researches and discovers that by constructing a vector for expressing the aptamer ribozyme modified sgRNA under theophylline control, when gene editing and transcription control are carried out, the aptamer ribozyme is caused to self-cut by adding the ligand theophylline of the aptamer ribozyme P1-F5 into a culture medium, so that the sgRNA is broken, and the sgRNA guided CRISPR/Cas9 system is inactivated. The regulation method avoids the introduction of additional cis-regulatory elements and trans-regulatory factors, and the vector plasmid occupies small volume and has the characteristic of being regulated by ligand drugs.

The procedure of denaturation annealing of the obtained PCR product by the PCR instrument is as follows:
5 minutes at 95 ℃; 95-85 deg.C, a reduction of 2 deg.C per second (-2 deg.C/s); 85-25 deg.C, 0.1 deg.C per second (-0.1 deg.C/s).
And (3) recovering the product after agarose gel electrophoresis with the mass concentration of 1%, measuring the content, and detecting the editing efficiency of the target genes in each group by using a classical T7Endonuclease I Endonuclease detection method. The specific method comprises the following steps: each group was prepared from 500ng PCR product DNA, 0.5. mu.L of T7Endonuclease I (NEB, M0302S) Endonuclease, 2. mu.L of 10 XBuffer, and supplemented with water to a total volume of 20. mu.L.

recovering the PCR product after agarose gel electrophoresis with the mass concentration of 1%, cloning to a pGEMT-easy vector, and obtaining a positive clone through sequencing identification, wherein the positive clone is the required vector and is named as pGEMT-easy-PGRN Pro; the vector pGEMT-easy-PGRN Pro is subjected to Kpn I and Bgl II double enzyme digestion, a PGRN Pro fragment is recovered after 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, the PGRN Pro fragment is connected to a pGL3-basic vector subjected to the same enzyme digestion, after transformation, cloning is selected, plasmid DNA is extracted through an alkaline lysis method after culture, and a positive clone is obtained through enzyme digestion and sequencing identification and is named as a required vector pGL3-PGRN Pro-Luc (the vector structure is shown in figure 6).
The inventors also inserted sgRNA sequences targeting the human PGRN gene promoter into the existing vector pU6-sgRNA, the method was the same as the construction method step 3 in example 1, and the obtained vector was named as pU6-sgRNA-PGRN Pro.
HEK293 cells were seeded in 24-well plates at 1X 10 per well5Cells co-transfected with a vector pHAGE EF1 alpha dCas9-KRAB (Addgene, #50919) expressing the protein of dCas9-KRAB, pGL3-PGRN Pro-Luc and pU6-sgRNA-AZ2.0-PGRN Pro; meanwhile, the co-transfection vectors pHAGE EF1 alpha dCas9-KRAB, pGL3-PGRN Pro-Luc, and pU6-sgRNA-PGRN Pro were introduced into cells as positive controls. Theophylline was added to the cell culture medium at various time points at a concentration of 3 mM. Cells were harvested after 24 hours, and the kit was used to test each group at different time points after theophylline was addedThe luciferase expression of the cells was varied and the results are presented as the ratio between the experimental and control values. The activity of PGRN promoter on pGL3-PGRN Pro-Luc is inhibited by sgRNA targeting the promoter and dCas-KRAB9 protein with transcription inhibition effect, and the aptamer ribozyme contained in the theophylline-controlled aptamer ribozyme modified sgRNA targeting the human PGRN gene promoter expressed by pU6-sgRNA-AZ2.0-PGRN Pro after theophylline is added can be self-sheared to relieve the inhibition activity of the whole system on the PGRN promoter, so the luciferase ratio in the experimental result is enlarged, which indicates that the activity of the PGRN promoter in the experimental group is improved, namely, indicates that the transcription inhibition effect in the system is eliminated by adding drugs. The results are shown in FIG. 7 and indicate that the activity of the luciferase reporter gene begins to increase rapidly 2 hours after theophylline addition.
The experiment 3 shows that the transcription inhibition effect of dCas9-KRAB mediated by the theophylline-regulated aptamer ribozyme-modified sgRNA vector for expressing the target human PGRN gene promoter can be effectively regulated and controlled by theophylline.
