Detailed Description
The experimental procedures used in the following examples are all conventional procedures unless otherwise specified.
Materials, reagents and the like used in the following examples are commercially available unless otherwise specified.
Example 1 optimization of the PA-Cre System
In the embodiment, the framework vector for expressing the Cre recombinase is a commercial vector pT2/HB, and the insertion site of the PA-Cre recombinase gene in the framework vector is between XbaI and EcoRI.
The reporter plasmid CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC used in this example was obtained by ligating the coding sequences of CMV, loxp, stop, loxp, and LUC (SEQ ID No. 21) in this order between the NcoI and EcoRI sites of the commercial vector px 330.
1. Determination of Cre recombinase segmentation sites
The common segmentation sites for Cre recombinase are 59/60 and 104/106, and two plasmids with different segmentation sites, PACre59/60 and PACre104/106 (FIG. 1) are constructed.
In FIG. 1, cre in the plasmid PACre104/106 19-104 The amino acid sequence of (A) is shown as SEQ ID No.3, the coding gene sequence is shown as SEQ ID No.4, cre 106-343 The amino acid sequence of (A) is shown as SEQ ID No.1, and the coding gene sequence is shown as SEQ ID No. 2; the amino acid sequence of CIB1 is shown as SEQ ID No.17, and the coding geneThe sequence is shown as SEQ ID No. 18; CRY2 L384F The amino acid sequence of (A) is shown as SEQ ID No.19, and the coding gene sequence is shown as SEQ ID No. 20.
Co-transforming HEK293 cells with the two plasmids PACre59/60 and PACre104/106 and the reporter plasmid CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC respectively, and after 24 hours, one group is dark and light-proof, and the other group is used with the intensity of 4mw/cm 2 After 48 hours, the luciferase LUC was detected, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 2, the 59/60 segmented Cre recombinase had almost no activity, so we selected 104/106 of the segmented sites.
2. Selection of different Linker peptides (Linker)
In the construction of fusion proteins, the linker peptide is important in relation to the activity of the protein. We selected 4 different amino acid sequence connecting peptides (figure 3), the amino acid sequence of which is respectively shown in SEQ ID No.5, 6, 7, 8, and the coding gene of each connecting peptide is simultaneously arranged at the upstream of two Cre recombinase segments to obtain four different plasmids L1, L2, L3, L4;
wherein, the coding gene sequence of the connecting peptide used by the plasmid L1 is shown as SEQ ID No. 9.
The four plasmids and a reporter plasmid CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC are co-transformed into HEK293 cells respectively, and then the enzyme activity of the LUC is detected according to the method in the step 1, and the result is shown in figure 4, wherein the L1 effect is optimal, and at the moment, the Cre recombinase has high activity and almost no background (namely, the Cre recombinase has almost no activity under dark conditions, namely, the system has almost no leakage).
3. Selection of nuclear localization signal sequence (NLS) positions
In order to further improve the enzymatic activity of Cre recombinase, the expression efficiency of Cre recombinase is improved by adding NLS and adjusting the relative position of NLS so that NLS is better enriched in cell nucleus. To this end we designed four plasmids N 0 、N C 、N R 、N CR Respectively is as follows: NLS is not added, NLS is added only at the N-terminal of CIB1, NLS is added only at the N-terminal of CRY2, and two nuclear localization signal sequences are added (FIG. 5).
Wherein, the amino acid sequence of the nuclear localization signal NLS is shown as SEQ ID No.10, and the coding gene sequence is shown as SEQ ID No. 11.
The four plasmids and a report plasmid CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC are respectively co-transformed into HEK293 cells, then the enzyme activity of the LUC is detected according to the method in the step 1, and the result is shown in figure 6, and NLS is only added at the N end of CIB1, namely the activation multiple of Cre recombinase of the plasmid Nc is the highest; is improved by about 40 times compared with the plasmid PACre104/106 before optimization.
4. Optimization of expression cassettes/vectors
Setting the promoter as CAG (broad-spectrum strong promoter), adding 3 Xflag label in front of nuclear localization signal for convenient detection of protein expression, and setting transcription regulation element WPRE at the end to obtain plasmid containing CAG-PACre, and setting CMV as the plasmid CMV-PACre of promoter as control (FIG. 7);
the equimolar CMV-PACre-containing plasmid and the equimolar CAG-PACre-containing plasmid were co-transformed into HEK293 cells together with the reporter plasmid CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC, and then the LUC enzyme activity was detected according to the method of step 1, as shown in FIG. 8, the CAG-PACre induction factor was higher.
Western blot after cell lysis, it was found that the expression level of equimolar CAG-PACre was much higher than that of CMV-PACre (FIG. 9), and that the expression of the plasmid was not affected by blue light irradiation (FIG. 10).
Wherein, the nucleotide sequence of the promoter CAG is shown as SEQ ID No. 12; the amino acid sequence of the T2A is shown as SEQ ID No.14, and the coding gene sequence is shown as SEQ ID No. 15; the nucleotide sequence of the WPRE element is shown as SEQ ID No. 16.
Example 2 validation of the function of the PA-Cre transgenic vector in mice
1. Verification on WT mice
Two plasmids containing CAG-PACre or CMV-PACre obtained in step 4 of example 1 were co-injected into mice with CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC reporter plasmid, respectively, using the hydrodynamic tail vein injection method. After 8h, one group was dark and protected from light, and the other group was used at an intensity of 20mw/cm 2 Blue light (1 min on, 4min off) illumination. After 16h, the in vivo imaging results (FIG. 11) were consistent with those verified on HEK293 cells, and were found to beThe equimolar CAG-PACre not only has high induction fold, but also has enzyme activity far higher than that of CMV-PACre (figure 12).
2. Validation on CAG-loxp-stop-loxp-tdtomato mice
In order to stabilize the experimental results, we selected a reporter mouse of Cre recombinase, CAG-loxp-stop-loxp-tdtomato mouse. The plasmid containing CAG-PACre was injected into the reporter mice using the hydrodynamic tail vein injection of plasmids. After 8h, one group was dark and protected from light, and the other group was used at an intensity of 20mw/cm 2 Blue light (1 min on, 4min off) illumination. After 48h, a frozen section of mouse liver is taken out, and the CAG-PACre is detected to effectively cut off the stop sequence to express tdtomato. CAG-PACre has a stronger spatial specificity compared to the control Cre, expressed only in the part where blue light can penetrate, with a penetration thickness of about 400 μm (fig. 13).
Example 3 construction of PA-Cre transgenic mice Using sleeping beauty transposon subsystem
Phenol chloroform was used to extract CAG-PACre-containing plasmid to remove RNA enzyme, and then was microinjected into fertilized eggs together with in vitro transcribed SB transposase mRNA, and healthy and viable fertilized eggs were transplanted into pseudopregnant mice (FIG. 14). After birth, the mice with positive genotype identification result are subjected to protein identification, and the result shows that 7 mice (2 #, 7#, 24#, 25#, 33#, 43#, 44 #) successfully express PA-Cre protein and can be subjected to passage (figure 15).
Example 4 functional verification of PA-Cre transgenic mice
According to the results of protein identification, 4 mice (2 #, 24#, 25#, 44 #) successfully expressing PA-Cre protein were selected from example 3 and mated with wild-type mice for generation. After 5 weeks of F1 birth, we selected mice in which PA-Cre protein expression was positive, and injected with AAV8CMV-loxp-stop-loxp-LUC adeno-associated virus, respectively. After 7 days, mice were imaged in vivo without blue light, and no expression of LUC was detected (fig. 16, first row). Then using an intensity of 20mw/cm 2 After 12h of blue light (1 min on, 4min off) exposure, and re-live imaging, some mice detected expression of LUC (fig. 16 second row, fig. 17, fig. 18), with the highest fold induction of 175, confirming iThe PA-Cre transgenic mice are successfully established and can be stably passaged.
