Description

Zebra fish mutant with GRNa gene knockout function and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of gene editing, and particularly relates to a GRNa gene knockout zebra fish mutant and a preparation method thereof, which can be used as a tool for GRNa gene function research and related drug screening.
Background
Progranulin (PGRN) is a multifunctional growth factor, and heterozygous deletion of this gene is associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTLD), whereas homozygous deletion is considered a causative factor of ncl (neural ceroid lipofuscinosis). The gene has been studied extensively in human disease and mouse models, but very little has been studied about it in zebrafish. The zebra fish has the biological characteristics of fast growth and development, short breeding period, large number of offspring, in-vitro fertilization, embryo transparency and the like, and is very suitable for gene editing.
There are four homologues for this gene in zebrafish, GRNa, GRNb, GRN-1, GRN-2. Research shows that when the morphholino technology is used for inhibiting the expression of GRNa protein, zebra fish shows remarkable pathological changes such as liver damage, myoblast apoptosis, motor neuron damage and the like. However, these pathological phenomena have yet to be further confirmed due to the toxic side effects of the morpholino technology itself. Therefore, the method establishes a stably inherited GRNa gene knockout zebra fish strain to research the function of the GRNa gene, deeply explores the connection and generation mechanism of the GRNa gene and neurodegenerative diseases, provides a stable and reliable model organism for screening targeted drugs, and undoubtedly has important significance.
Gene-trap, ZFN, TALEN and the like are commonly used in the prior gene knockout means, but the technologies are complex to operate, long in period and expensive.

Claims (3)

1. A preparation method of a GRNa gene knockout zebra fish strain is characterized by comprising the following steps:
(1) sgRNA for screening targeted GRNa gene
Searching a genome sequence of a zebra fish GRNa gene from NCBI, selecting five sgRNA binding sites in an exon region of a coded protein by utilizing sgRNA design software, designing corresponding sgRNA primers, annealing the sgRNA primers, and connecting the sgRNA primers to a sgRNA expression vector;
(2) preparation of sgRNA and Cas9mRNA of zebra fish GRNa gene
Obtaining sgRNA and Cas9mRNA of the GRNa gene of the zebra fish by in vitro transcription by using an in vitro transcription kit;
(3) microinjection of sgRNA and Cas9mRNA into zebra fish fertilized egg single cell stage
The male and female zebra fish are respectively placed into a mating tank at night before microinjection and separated by a baffle plate, the baffle plate is pulled out in the morning next day, the male and female zebra fish are mated, fertilized eggs are collected, and Cas9mRNA and sgRNA mRNA of a target gene GRNa are injected into the fertilized eggs under a microscope within half an hour;
(4) target efficiency detection
After microinjection is carried out for 24 hours, each sgRNA and Cas9 injection embryo 4 tubes are collected, five eggs in each tube are extracted, genome DNA is extracted, PCR amplification is carried out on a targeting region, and the sgRNA with the highest cutting activity is screened by a T7E1 method;
(5) culturing the embryo with the targeting effect to adult fish, and performing internal crossing to lay eggs; randomly taking tube embryos, taking 5 eggs per tube, extracting a genome, carrying out PCR amplification on a targeting area, and carrying out enzyme digestion on T7E1 to identify whether targeting exists;
(6) culturing embryos with the targeting effect to adult fishes, cutting tails one by one to extract genomes, carrying out PCR amplification on targeting areas, sending the amplified target areas to a company for sequencing to see whether base insertion or deletion exists and frame shift mutation or nonsense mutation is caused, and thus effective targeting is achieved;
(7) breeding the heterozygote or homozygote zebra fish which are effectively targeted to adult fish, and mating and spawning to obtain the next generation of zebra fish; determining the F0 generation of the zebra fish mutant by screening, respectively hybridizing the F0 generation mutant with wild zebra fish to obtain F1 generation embryos, culturing at 28 ℃, and observing the survival rate of the F1 generation embryos at the initial stage; after fertilization for two days, 5 embryos are respectively taken from each mutant F1 generation for mutation inheritance identification; extracting genome of each embryo separately, PCR amplifying the region near the target site, sending to company for sequencing and identification to determine whether the mutation can be inherited to F1 generation;
(8) breeding the zebrafish mutant in the F1 generation to adult fish if the presence of the sense mutation is detected from the F1 generation embryo; respectively carrying out tail shearing on each F1 generation adult zebra fish, and screening F1 generation mutants;
(9) hybridizing female fishes and male fishes in the F1 generation mutant to obtain F2 generation embryos, culturing the F2 generation embryos at 28 ℃, observing the development condition of the embryos, and knocking out genes to prevent the embryos from dying if the embryos are normally developed; culturing F2 embryo to adult fish, cutting tail, extracting genome, PCR sequencing, and identifying genotype to see whether homozygote exists; carrying out subsequent experimental study on heterozygote or homozygote zebra fish after the genotype identification;
(10) and hybridizing the F2 generation mutant homozygote adult fish female fish and male fish to obtain F3 generation, namely the GRNa gene knockout zebra fish strain.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the five sgRNA sites are each:
SgRNA1:TTTGTCCATTGCTGTCCTA;
SgRNA2:TTATGTACCGAAGAGCCCT;
SgRNA3:CTACTACTCCCAATGTGAT;
SgRNA4:AAATGTGACGTAGCTGCG;
SgRNA5:GTGCCCGTCCGTCCAATC。
3. the method of claim 1 or 2, wherein the GRNa knockout zebra fish line is used for researching the mechanism of GRNa in the treatment of nervous system diseases and metabolic diseases and the like and the screening of related drugs.
