Description

Method based on chromatin remodeling activation endogenous Pdx1 gene expression
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of biotechnology, and in particular to based on chromatin remodeling activation endogenous Pdx1 gene expression Method.
Background technique
The disease incidence of diabetes dramatically increases year by year.WHO report is shown within 2017, at present the morbidity of whole world diabetes Rate is about 8.5%, about 4.22 hundred million diabetics.Type 1 diabetes are to be attacked due to beta Cell of islet by autoimmune response Caused by hitting.When the beta Cell of islet quantity of remaining will show clinical symptoms less than the 10-20% of islet cells sum [Gillespie,K.M.Type 1diabetes:pathogenesis and prevention.CMAJ 175,165-170, doi:10.1503/cmaj.060244(2006).].Diabetes B is since ability of cell proliferation decline and Apoptosis increase And cause β cell function abnormal and the reduction of progressive cell quantity [Joost, H.G.Pathogenesis, risk assessment and prevention of type 2diabetes mellitus.Obes Facts 1,128-137, doi:10.1159/000137673(2008).].Currently, beta Cell of islet transplanting is considered as that diabetes are most effective does for treatment One of method.However, the application of extensive beta Cell of islet transplanting is but by cell origin shortage and throughout one's life using immunosuppressor etc. Limit [Atkinson, M.A.&Eisenbarth, G.S.Type 1diabetes:new perspectives on disease pathogenesis and treatment.Lancet 358,221-229,doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(01) 05415-0(2001).].Multipotential stem cell (pluripotent stem cells, PSCs) includes embryonic stem cell (embryonic stem cells, ESCs) and induce multi-potent stem cell (induced pluripotent stem cells, IPSCs), there is self-renewing and multi-lineage potential.Therefore, the ideal cell that PSCs becomes the cell therapy of diabetes comes Source.In recent years, PSCs directed differentiation is that the research of beta Cell of islet and non-beta Cell of islet transdifferentiation makes great progress [Miyazaki,S.,Yamato,E.&Miyazaki,J.Regulated expression of pdx-1promotes in vitro differentiation of insulin-producing cells from embryonic stem cells.Diabetes 53,1030-1037(2004).].Cell differentiation inducing activity is the method master of insulin secretory cell at present It to include two classes: first is that idiosyncratic transcription factor method occurs using regulation beta Cell of islet;Another is growth factor and small molecule Close object combined method.Gene abductive approach is mainly the transcription factors critical inducing cell point used in islet cells generating process Change and transdifferentiation.Miyazaki etc. constructs the ES cell line of inducing expression Pdx1 using Tet off system, as the result is shown Pdx1 It can be improved growth factor and small molecule compound method induction efficiency of the ESCs to β cell differentiation, enhance noble cells dependency basis The expression of cause, such as insulin 2, somatostatin, Kir6.2, glucokinase, neurogenin3, p48, Pax6, PC2 With HNF6 [Miyazaki, S., Yamato, E.&Miyazaki, J.Regulated expression of pdx-1promotes in vitro differentiation of insulin-producing cells from embryonic stem cells.Diabetes 53,1030-1037(2004).].The result of study of Kubo etc. shows that overexpression Pdx1 and Ngn3 can Significant up-regulation endoderm cell expresses insulin and islet related gene [Kubo, A.et al.Pdx1and Ngn3 overexpression enhances pancreatic differentiation of mouse ES cell-derived endoderm population.PLoS One 6,e24058,doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0024058 (2011).].The adenovirus infection application on human skin horn cell of Pdx1 is expressed, it can the relevant specificity turn of acute activation pancreas generation The factor is recorded, cell is induced to

excreting insulin reprograms human keratinocytes along pancreatic insulin-producing cells fate.PLoS One 6,e26298,doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0026298(2011).].The discovery such as Zhou Pars exocrina pancreatis cell transformation can be beta Cell of islet in Mice Body by Pdx1, Ngn3 and MafA.These conversion cells with Endogenic beta Cell of islet is closely similar, express islet beta cell function related gene, can excreting insulin, reduce mouse Blood glucose [Zhou, Q., Brown, J., Kanarek, A., Rajagopal, J.&Melton, D.A.In vivo reprogramming of adult pancreatic exocrine cells to beta-cells.Nature 455, 627-632,doi:10.1038/nature07314(2008).].Akinci etc. uses same method, observes external The transdifferentiation of Pdx1, Ngn3 and MafA to pancreas in rat exocrine cell system AR42j-B13.Although transdifferentiation is obtained Cell expresses insulin reduces the blood glucose level of diabetic mice;But Pdx1, Ngn3 and the MafA of endogenous cellular are not swashed It is living, and the relevant some genes of islet beta cell function are not expressed.Therefore, the transdifferentiation of these cells is incomplete [Akinci,E.,Banga,A.,Greder,L.V.,Dutton,J.R.&Slack,J.M.Reprogramming of pancreatic exocrine cells towards a beta(beta)cell character using Pdx1, Ngn3and MafA.Biochem J442,539-550,doi:10.1042/BJ20111678(2012).].Gene induction differentiation Method there is high specificity, operation is relatively easy, and cost is relatively low.However, the method that foreign gene is overexpressed at present is difficult to swash The expression of endogenous related gene living, therefore, the cell of differentiation do not have mature physiological function.Each pedigree in embryonic development Cell differentiation is finally to be divided into the terminally differentiated cells of each germinal layer by lineagespecific transcription factor accuracy controlling.It is same with this When, the activation of various transcription factors is controlled by the various regulatory mechanisms of epigenetics in cell differentiation procedure.Epigenetic Factor and the mutually coordinated effect of various transcription factors form the microenvironment for being suitable for particular lineage differentiation, can just be effectively ensured The normal differentiation of the various cells of body.During important function of the epigenetics in cell function can be reprogrammed from cell To evidence.It is reprogrammed by fibroblast to the process of iPSCs, a key factor for influencing reprogramming efficiency is exactly apparent loses It passes and learns obstacle.The studies have shown that dnmt rna and histon deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor of Huangfu etc. can be mentioned significantly The efficiency of high cell reprogramming.Especially histon deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor valproic acid (VPA) can will be reprogrammed Efficiency improves 100 times of [Huangfu, D.et al.Induction of pluripotent stem cells by defined factors is greatly improved by small-molecule compounds.Nat Biotechnol26,795- 797,doi:10.1038/nbt1418(2008).].In the recent period, Ding group passes through CRISPR (clustered regularly Interspaced short palindromic repeats) technology resetting the site chromatin Oct4 and Sox2 epigenetic State, activate endogenous Oct4 and Sox2 expression, successfully reprogram fibroblast to iPSCs [Liu, P., Chen, M., Liu,Y.,Qi,L.S.&Ding,S.CRISPR-Based Chromatin Remodeling of the Endogenous Oct4 or Sox2 Locus Enables Reprogramming to Pluripotency.Cell Stem Cell 22, 252-261e254, doi:10.1016/j.stem.2017.12.001 (2018)], this shows further epigenetic thin Important function in born of the same parents' function.
Pdx1 is a kind of homologous structure domain transcription factor, in body early embryo pancreas development, the formation of endocrine cell and after Plays a significant role [Pan, F.C.&Wright, C.Pancreas organogenesis:from bud in phase β cell maturation to plexus to gland.Dev Dyn 240,530-565,doi:10.1002/dvdy.22584(2011).].Mouse Pdx1 is expressed earliest in embryo 8.5 days (E8.5) [Miki, R.et al.Fate maps of ventral and dorsal pancreatic progenitor cells in early somite stage mouse embryos.Mech Dev 128, 597-609, doi:10.1016/j.mod.2011.12.004 (2012)], people Pdx1 is expressed earliest at pregnant 4 weeks (G4w) [Jennings,R.E.et al.Development of the human pancreas from foregut to endocrine commitment.Diabetes62,3514-3522,doi:10.2337/db12-1479(2013).].Grinding tooth The body early embryo pancreas development of class needs the expression of Pdx1, and Pdx1 deficient mice cannot form pancreas, will in several days after birth Death [Jonsson, J., Carlsson, L., Edlund, T.&Edlund, H.Insulin-promoter-factor 1is required for pancreas development in mice.Nature 371,606-609,doi:10.1038/ 371606a0(1994).].There is still a need for the continuous expressions of Pdx1 for the development of each pedigree of subsequent pancreas.In the shape of endocrine cell Cheng Zhong, height expression Pdx1 play a significant role [Pan, F.C.&Wright, C.Pancreas in the directed differentiation of cell organogenesis:from bud to plexus to gland.Dev Dyn 240,530-565,doi:10.1002/ dvdy.22584(2011).].When adult, Pdx1 is only expressed in the β and delta cell of pancreas islet, related by adjusting glucose homeostasis Gene maintain β cell feature and function [Gao, T.et al.Pdx1maintains beta cell identity and function by repressing an alpha cell program.Cell Metab 19,259-271,doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2013.12.002(2014).].In conclusion Pdx1 is in embryonic pancreatic development and external evoked cell Directed differentiation is to play a significant role in β cell.Therefore, external efficient endogenous Pdx1 Activiation method is established, gene is lured PSCs directed differentiation is led to play a significant role for the embryonic development research of β cell and pancreas.
