Description

ACE2 cell humanized mouse model and construction method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of animal genetic engineering, and particularly relates to an ACE2 cell humanized mouse model and a construction method and application thereof.
Background
The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), SARS coronavirus and MERS coronavirus belong to the family Coronaviridae, and the virus is classified as the seventh coronavirus infecting human by the world health organization. The first step of SARS-nCOV-2 infection in human is the combination of SARS-nCOV-2 and Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE 2) on human cell surface. Wherein, ACE2 is receptor of coronavirus such as SARS, SARS-nCOV-2, ACE2 gene is located in X chromosome of human, codes 805 amino acid residues, belongs to type I transmembrane glycoprotein, and has relative molecular mass of 120 kDa.
It was found that wild type mice are not naturally infected with COVID-19 virus at present, although their own ACE2 is also present in mice, and therefore researchers have been working on developing ACE2 transgenic mice and ACE2 knockout mice, among others. However, ACE2 transgenic mice require embryonic stem cell culture, and the process of establishing and culturing embryonic stem cell lines is complicated, and the modeling period is long. Meanwhile, the construction method of the ACE2 knockout mouse is complex in operation process and low in success rate. Furthermore, conventional transgenic or knockout mice contain immune cells of the mouse itself, such as T cells, B cells and NK cells, which are detrimental to the reconstitution of the humanized immune system and prevent the study of the relationship between virus and immune cells on humanized ACE2 mice.
Because the animal model of the novel coronavirus is less, the construction time is longer, and the novel coronavirus cannot be propagated in large quantity at present, the process of researching the novel coronavirus vaccine or the immunization method is limited. Therefore, the mouse model with short construction time and high infection efficiency of the novel coronavirus is of great significance for preventing and treating the novel coronavirus.

Continuously carrying out amplification culture, sorting GFP positive cells by using a flow cytometer, and detecting the ACE2 protein level in the sorted GFP positive cells by using immunoblotting; the results are shown in FIG. 2, which shows that BGC823 wild type (i.e., BGC823-GFP) does not express ACE2, while BGC823-ACE2-GFP is capable of high expression of ACE 2.
Thus, the resulting positive cells overexpress the ACE2 receptor and GFP, abbreviated BGC823-ACE2-GFP cells.
(2) Construction of mouse chimeric humanized ACE2 lung model
The nude mice used in this example were from Hunan Shoutai biomedical Co., Ltd (patent No: CN110951787A), and were T-cell-, B-cell-and NK-cell-free immunodeficient mice having an extremely high degree of immunodeficiency. Compared with a mouse, the nude mouse can improve the living imaging effect of GFP and other autofluorescence due to the hairless characteristic, and is convenient for experimental research.
① A single cell suspension was prepared from the BGC823-ACE2-GFP cells constructed in step (1) and aliquoted into sterile clean PCR tubes, 1 × 10 per tube6Volume of 200 μ L, 1 tube per mouse;
meanwhile, BGC823-GFP-Luciferase (abbreviated as BGC823-GL, and the construction method is the same as the step (1) by overexpressing GFP and Luciferase, and the group is used as a positive control group)
Fixing the tail of the mouse, and injecting the tumor cell BGC823-ACE2-GFP into the mouse body through tail vein injection;
thirdly, after modeling for 1 week, respectively imaging through GFP and Luciferase channels of living body imaging;
the results are shown in FIG. 3, where the signal represents the GFP-Luciferase signal, and after one week of modeling by BGC823-GL, a stronger Luciferase signal was detected in the mouse model lung; meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 4, the signal in the figure indicates ACE2-GFP signal, i.e., it was shown that GFP signal was also successfully detected in mice injected with BGC823-ACE2-GFP cells, but the GFP signal was not significant.
Example 2
This example facilitated the step (1) in example 1 of constructing ACE2 receptor overexpressing cells that are blast cells, with Jurkat, NALM6, Huh7, a549, and H1299 as mother cells;
the infection efficiency and the infection efficiency after sorting are shown in table 1.

ACE2-Huh7 cells 90% ---
ACE2-H1299 cells 44% 90%
ACE2-Jurkat cells 50% 90%
ACE2-Nalm6 cell 17% 90%
As can be seen from the above table, when a549 and Huh7 were used as the mother cells, the infection efficiency was up to 90%, and the infection efficiency of the remaining three cells was not up to 90%, but the infection efficiency after sorting was up to 90%.
Example 3

The flow cytometry results are shown in FIG. 5, which shows that BGC823-ACE2-GFP cells account for 27.3% of the total cells in the mouse lung; wherein the negative control group is a blank mouse (without injected cells), and the GFP content is 2.81%;
the HE staining results are shown in FIG. 6, which indicates that after BGC823-ACE2-GFP cells are injected, tumor foci are found in the lung of the mouse, and tumor accumulation is found in the alveoli; over-expression of ACE2 in mouse lung is beneficial to infection of virus and improves infection efficiency.
The immunofluorescent staining results are shown in FIG. 7, wherein the results from left to right are respectively the results of the immunofluorescent staining of BGC823-ACE2-GFP intracellular ACE2, DNA binding with DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) and a combination of the two, which are observed under different channels, and the results show that the ACE2 is uniformly distributed in mouse lungs and is more obvious in alveolar tissues.
By combining the embodiment 1 and the embodiment 3, the mouse lung model of the chimeric humanized ACE2 can be quickly and effectively established, and the human cells over expressing ACE2 can be gathered in mouse lungs, particularly alveolar tissues, so that the infection of viruses is facilitated, and the infection efficiency is improved.

In this example, a novel coronavirus was used to infect a humanized ACE2 mouse model to explore the infection efficiency.
The humanized ACE2 mouse model constructed in example 1 is sent to a P3 laboratory, infected with the novel coronavirus SARS-nCOV-2 by nasal drip, and the mouse is dissected after 24h, and lung tissue is taken out for fluorescent quantitative PCR detection.
The results are shown in FIG. 8, and the viral RNA was detected in 2 of 3 experimental mice infected with the novel coronavirus, indicating that 2 mice successfully infected with the novel coronavirus and the infection efficiency was 66%. In the experiment, due to the particularity of the novel coronavirus, although 3 mice are only adopted to detect the infection rate, the infection efficiency can still be reflected to be higher.
In conclusion, the ACE2 gene can be transfected into various human cell lines such as BGC823, Jurkat, NALM6, Huh7, A549 and H1299 by using a lentiviral vector, and the transfection efficiency is high. Meanwhile, when the obtained BGC823-ACE2-GFP is transplanted into a mouse body, the cells are only gathered in the lung of the mouse, ACE2 expression is detected in the alveoli of the lung of the mouse, and the lung overexpression is beneficial to infection of novel coronavirus; the mouse model provided by the invention is an immune deficient mouse, is beneficial to reconstructing a humanized immune system, and further provides a basis for researching the relationship between the novel coronavirus and the immune system.
The applicant declares that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope of the present invention are within the scope and disclosure of the present invention.
