Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of animal model construction, in particular to a method for evaluating pathogenicity of genetic variation by using a mutant cell migration function and application thereof.
Background
ELMO1 protein translated from ELMO1 gene interacts with DOCK2 protein complex and is involved in regulating cell motility function by regulating RAC protein activity.
In the past decade, with the advent of high-throughput genome sequencing, human genome information has rapidly accumulated. In contrast to the fact that the deletion of the Dock2 gene has been reported to be associated with congenital immunodeficiency diseases, analysis of the gene polymorphism of ELMO1 in different populations around the world has found that the ELMO1 gene is rather associated with autoimmune diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory arthritis, and kidney diseases. Although the ELMO1 gene plays a role in regulating cell movement through an ELMO1-DOCK2-RAC1 ternary complex, the research of mice and cell lines shows that the cell migration function is damaged due to the mutation of the ELMO1 gene, the accumulation quantity of neutrophils at a chronic inflammation part in an ELMO1 gene-deleted mouse is obviously reduced compared with that of a wild type. This chemotactic deficiency of neutrophils, in turn, leads to a good prognosis of autoimmune diseases. In the research of inflammatory enteritis caused by salmonella infection, bacterial internalization of macrophages of mice with ELMO1 gene defects is weakened, so that bacterial burden in intestinal tracts of the mice is reduced, intestinal inflammatory reaction is caused, and disease progression is delayed.
The research on the ELMO1 gene in the mouse model is combined with the gene polymorphism analysis of the population carrying the ELMO1 gene mutation, and the ELMO1 protein with high expression level can be used as an index of disease progression to predict the poorer prognosis of the disease. Bioinformatic data from clinical specimens suggest that the ELMO1 gene affects disease progression by affecting immune cell chemotaxis for inflammation.
However, how these ELMO1 gene mutations present in the population affect immune cell function still requires more specific functional validation to confirm their relationship to disease susceptibility. In previous practice, researchers have isolated neutrophils directly from patient whole blood cells and tested these neutrophils carrying the ELMO1 mutation for their migratory capacity in vitro to identify their pathogenicity. In addition to in vitro experiments, in vivo functional verification of gene mutants using animal models is an indispensable strategy for providing more reliable disease counseling for clinical use.
In summary, the detection and identification of how a specific genetic variation site affects cell movement is based on the collection of an original sample of a patient, which is not favorable for large-scale screening of the variation site, and has the advantages of high cost, low repeatability and large required manpower and material resources. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a convenient and accurate animal model for diagnostic identification of specific gene mutation sites. Zebrafish, as a vertebrate highly conserved with both mice and humans, have successfully constructed a number of human disease models for large-scale drug screening. However, the research on the pathogenicity of specific genetic variation by using a zebra fish model is still very limited. Most of researches are carried out based on easily-detected indexes such as bleeding, heart structural abnormality, electrophysiology and the like, the researches can be carried out in mice, and the advantages of zebra fish as a model are not completely reflected.
Disclosure of Invention
Therefore, there is a need to provide a method for evaluating pathogenicity of genetic variation by using a mutant cell migration function, which can identify the functional change of a genetic variation site based on an animal model, is independent of a patient sample, and has the advantages of convenient data acquisition and storage, and high experimental repeatability and accuracy.
A method for assessing the pathogenicity of genetic variation based on the migration function of mutant cells, comprising the steps of:
constructing an expression system for specifically expressing human ELMO1 gene variation sites by neutrophils: cloning a plasmid carrying a gene variation site sequence to be evaluated into an ELMO1 gene deletion zebra fish mutant model by a microinjection method, and specifically expressing the ELMO1 gene variation site to be evaluated in neutrophils under the drive of a neutrophil specific promoter lyz so as to obtain a zebra fish gene variation site expression system;
time-lapse live imaging: and visually tracking the neutrophils carrying the ELMO1 gene variation site in the zebra fish gene deletion mutant model through delayed living imaging, and evaluating the influence of the gene variation site on the migration function of the neutrophils through the movement record of the neutrophils so as to evaluate the pathogenicity of the gene variation site.
In one embodiment, in the zebrafish mutant model with the ELMO1 gene deletion, the migration function of neutrophils is determined by the expression of the mutation site of the human ELMO1 gene.
In one embodiment, the zebrafish mutant model with the ELMO1 gene deletion is a mutant with a knockout sequence shown as SEQ ID No. 1.
In one embodiment, the genetic variation sites to be evaluated are: p.E90K, p.D194G or p.R354X.
In one embodiment, in the step of constructing an expression system for specifically expressing human ELMO1 gene mutation sites, after the neutrophil-specific promoter lyz, a fusion protein of human ELMO1 protein and fluorescent protein GFP is expressed, so that visual tracking of neutrophils in the expression system for human ELMO1 gene mutation sites is realized.
In one embodiment, in the delayed live imaging step, the migration path and migration speed of neutrophils expressing human ELMO1 gene mutation sites on the yolk sac of the zebra fish are recorded.
The invention also discloses application of the method for evaluating the pathogenicity of the genetic variation by using the migration function of the mutant cells in researching the pathogenicity of the genetic variation site of the human ELMO1 gene.
In one embodiment, the pathogenicity is a cause of impaired or hyperactivity of neutrophil motor function, thereby increasing susceptibility to an infectious or autoimmune disease.
In one embodiment, the increased infectious or autoimmune disease comprises a chronic infection, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, or diabetes.
The invention also discloses a biomarker for diseases caused by the damage of the migration function of neutrophils, wherein the biomarker is p.R354X.
The general concept of the invention is as follows:
1) a zebra fish ELMO1 gene deletion mutant which can be used for evaluating the pathogenicity of the human ELMO1 gene mutation site is constructed by utilizing a TALEN gene editing technology, and 13 pairs of base pairs are knocked out on a PH structural domain combined by the ELMO1 protein and the Dock2 protein. Deletion of base pairs causes a frameshift mutation resulting in a premature stop codon, resulting in loss of the PH domain and ultimately in loss-of-function gene mutants of the zebrafish Elmo1 protein.
2) After obtaining the zebrafish elmo1 gene deletion mutant, random movement of neutrophils in the yolk sac of three days after birth (3dpf) of zebrafish larvae was recorded using time-lapse in vivo imaging technique in combination with the stably expressed transgenic line Tg (lyz: DsRed) capable of specifically labeling neutrophils in the mutant. After shooting is finished, tracking and measuring the cell track by using image analysis processing software ImageJ, and statistically comparing the difference of the zebra fish elmo1 gene deletion mutant and the neutrophil migration function of the homozygote type and wild type zebra fish.
3) Construction of Tg (lyz: elmo 1)zeP2A-GFP). The coding region of the zebra fish elmo1 is connected with the fluorescent protein GFP by utilizing the P2A self-cleavage peptide, and the obtained plasmid is injected into the embryo of the zebra fish in the single cell stage by a microinjection method, so that the visualization of the movement process of the neutrophil, which expresses the elmo1 gene, in the larva of the zebra fish can be realized. After the expression system was established, we recorded the random movement of neutrophils in the yolk sac of zebrafish larvae three days after birth (3dpf) using time-lapse in vivo imaging techniques. After shooting is finished, tracking and measuring a cell track by using image analysis processing software ImageJ, and statistically analyzing whether the ELMO1 gene regulates the migration function of neutrophils due to a cell autonomous mechanism, wherein the cell track is used as an experimental basis for constructing a human ELMO1 gene variation site transient expression system to evaluate the pathogenicity of a gene variation site.
4) Construction of Tg (lyz: ELMO 1)hu-WTGFP). The coding region of the human ELMO1 gene is directly connected with fluorescent protein GFP to form ELMO1-GFP fusion protein, and the obtained plasmid is injected into the zebra fish single-cell-stage embryo by a microinjection method, so that the visual tracking of the neutrophils expressing the human ELMO1 gene is realized. After the expression system was established, we recorded the random movement of neutrophils in the yolk sac of zebrafish larvae three days after birth (3dpf) using time-lapse in vivo imaging techniques. After shooting is finished, tracking and measuring the cell track by using image analysis processing software ImageJ, and statistically analyzing whether the human ELMO1 gene is highly conserved with zebra fish ELMO1 gene, so that the function of regulating and controlling neutrophil migration can be realized, and the method is used as an experimental basis for constructing a human ELMO1 gene variation site transient expression system to evaluate the pathogenicity of gene variation sites.
5) Construction of Tg (lyz: ELMO 1)hu-VUSGFP). We refer to the three human ELMO1 gene variation sites: p.E90K (c.268G)>A)、p.D194G(c.581A>G) And p.R354X (c.1060C)>T) coding region is directly connected with fluorescent protein GFP to form ELMO1hu-VUSGFP fusion proteinAnd injecting the obtained plasmid into the zebra fish single-cell-stage embryo by a microinjection method to realize visual tracking of the neutrophils expressing the human ELMO1 gene variation sites. After the expression system was established, we recorded the random movement of neutrophils in the yolk sac of zebrafish larvae three days after birth (3dpf) using time-lapse in vivo imaging techniques. After shooting is finished, tracking and measuring the cell track by using image analysis processing software ImageJ, and statistically analyzing whether the expression of the gene variation sites causes the change of the migration function of the neutrophils, thereby evaluating the pathogenicity of the gene variation sites.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the method for evaluating the pathogenicity of the genetic variation by using the migration function of the mutant cells utilizes zebra fish as an animal model to carry out functional verification of the genetic variation site, has the characteristics of low cost and short experimental period, and is more convenient for large-scale screening compared with a mouse model.
The invention respectively carries out the overexpression experiments of specific gene variation sites through the gene mutation zebra fish and the wild zebra fish, observes the change of cell functions after the variation in vivo, more accurately evaluates the pathogenicity of the gene variation sites, shows that the neutrophil movement speed of the zebra elmo1 gene mutant is obviously slowed down, and can be used for evaluating the influence of the gene variation on the granulocyte movement speed
The method can perform over-expression of various types of variation of specific genes in specific cells (neutrophils), can be used for evaluating the function change of gene mutation on a certain specific cell, and has higher accuracy and specificity.
The method utilizes the transparent juvenile zebra fish to observe the movement of the cells in real time, can completely record the movement process of the cells through software, makes up the singleness of in vitro experiments, covers the complex regulation and control relationship in vivo through in vivo real-time observation, and can more accurately evaluate the change of the cell function caused by gene variation;
and the method identifies the functional change of the genetic variation based on the animal model, does not depend on the sample of the patient, is convenient for data acquisition and storage, and has high experimental repeatability and accuracy.
By the evaluation of the invention, the potential possibility of the development of diseases (such as infectious diseases or autoimmune diseases, including chronic infection, diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis and the like) which cause immunity by influencing the migration function of the neutrophils in the p.R354X is suggested.

2. Establishment of Gene mutation site expression System
2.1 establishment of expression System for neutrophil-specific expression of the zebrafish elmo1 Gene
In order to specifically express the zebrafish Elmo1 gene in neutrophils, we selected the lyz promoter according to literature reports, linked the coding region of the zebrafish Elmo1 gene (NM _213091.1) after the lyz promoter, and linked the zebrafish Elmo1 protein and the green fluorescent protein GFP using P2A self-cleaving peptide. We cloned the above components into the vector PBLK-sv40 plasmid. The final plasmid obtained: PBLK-lyz Elmo1zeP2A-GFP-sv40 by microinjection, 1.8nl (40 ng/. mu.l) of plasmid was injected into the single-cell-stage elmo1 gene deletion mutant and the sibling zebrafish embryos, and the zebrafish embryos were cultured to 3 days after birth (3dpf), and a delayed in vivo imaging experiment was performed to analyze whether the zebrafish elmo1 gene regulates the neutrophil migration function by a cell autonomous mechanism.
FIG. 2 shows zebrafish elmo1 gene deletion mutants and sibling wild type (elmo 1)+/+) Hybrid type (elmo)+/-) Phenotypic analysis of zebrafish neutrophils. Wherein Panel A is the sibling wild type (elmo 1)+/+) And mutant (elmo 1)-/-) And (5) in-situ hybridization result of the zebra fish. Panel B shows the number of neutrophil signals, as shown in Panel A and Panel B, mutant (elmo 1) compared to siblings-/-) The number of neutrophils was not significantly changed. Panel C shows the movement trajectories of neutrophils labeled with Tg (lyz: DsRed) on yolk sac at 3dpf for sibling wild type, heterozygous and mutant zebrafish. Wherein each successive line represents the movement trajectory of each different neutrophil. Panel D is a statistical result of neutrophil migration function, showing a significant decrease in neutrophil migration velocity in mutant zebrafish compared to sibling wild-type and heterozygous zebrafish. (one-way ANOVA, ns: no significant differences.)
Subsequently, a rescue experiment was carried out, namely that the zebrafish elmo1 gene was expressed in an elmo1 gene deletion mutant, and the result is shown in fig. 3.
FIG. 3 shows deletion mutants of the zebrafish elmo1 gene (elmo 1)-/-) And its sibling zebrafish (elmo 1)+/+Or elmo+/-) Is specifically inRescue experiment results for expressing zebrafish elmo1 gene in sex granulocytes. Wherein panel A shows the Tg of the yolk sac at 3dpf for mutant and sibling zebrafish (lyz: elmo 1)zeP2A-GFP) in a single cell. Wherein each successive line represents the movement trajectory of each different neutrophil. Panel B is a statistical result of neutrophil migration function, showing that compared to the injection of control plasmid lyz: compared with the zebra fish with GFP, the neutrophil migration capability in the mutant is obviously recovered after the zebra fish elmo1 gene is expressed. (one-way anova, ns: no significant difference<0.001。)
The result proves that the damaged neutrophil migration function is recovered after the elmo1 gene deletion mutant expresses the zebrafish elmo1 gene, and the zebrafish elmo1 gene regulates the neutrophil migration function through a cell autonomous mechanism.
2.2 establishment of expression System for neutrophil-specific expression of human ELMO1 Gene
In order to specifically express the human ELMO1 gene in neutrophils, we selected the lyz promoter according to literature reports, as mentioned above. And the coding region (NM-014800.11) of the human ELMO1 gene is connected behind lyz promoter, and the human ELMO1 protein and the green fluorescent protein GFP are directly connected to obtain the ELMO1-GFP fusion protein. We cloned the above components into the vector PBLK-sv40 plasmid. The final plasmid obtained: PBLK-lyz ELMO1huGFP-sv40(hu-WT) by microinjection, 1.8nl (40 ng/. mu.l) of plasmid was injected into the single-cell-stage Elmo1 gene deletion mutant and the sibling zebrafish embryos, and the zebrafish embryos were cultured to 3 days postnatal (3dpf) to perform a delayed in vivo imaging experiment to prove whether the human Elmo1 gene and zebrafish Elmo1 gene are highly conserved for the regulation of neutrophil migration function.
As shown in fig. 4C, the deletion mutant of ELMO1 gene restored the damaged neutrophil migration function after expressing human ELMO1 gene, demonstrating the high conservation of human ELMO1 gene and zebrafish ELMO1 gene in the regulation of neutrophil migration function. This result confirmed that it is feasible to use the zebrafish elmo1 gene mutant as a pathogenic animal model for evaluating the expression of gene variation sites.
2.3 establishment of expression System for neutrophil-specific expression of human ELMO1 Gene mutation site
(1) And (3) screening the human ELMO1 gene variation site.
ELMO1 gene mutation site information is searched from a clinical genetic database established by a previous detection sample of the inventor company, and the searched mutation site screening basis is as follows: the Mutation is annotated by VEP (variable Effect predictor) software, the Mutation sites are screened based on ClinVar, OMIM, HGMD, gnomaD and other hereditary disease databases, Mutation databases, thousand human genomes, ESP6500 and other population large-scale sequencing databases, and a plurality of computer algorithms (PolyPhen2, SIFT, Mutation Taster and the like) are adopted to predict and classify the pathogenicity Mutation.
The variation scores were classified with reference to "sequence variation interpretation standards and guidelines" issued by the american society for medical genetics and genomics (ACMG). 14 ELMO1 gene mutation sites classified as VUS were selected from the group, as shown in Table 1 below, wherein the 11-14 gene mutation sites are not conserved between humans and zebrafish and are not involved in the present invention. According to whether the property of amino acid is changed after the base variation of the gene, the No. 1-3 gene variation site is reserved for functional verification in the invention.
TABLE 1 ELMO1 Gene mutation site information
(2) The human ELMO1 gene variation site is specifically expressed in neutrophils.
To specifically express the human ELMO1 gene mutation site in neutrophils, the lyz promoter was selected as mentioned above. After base editing, the mutation sites of human ELMO1 genes with numbers 1-3 (p.E90K, p.D194G and p.R354X) are connected behind lyz promoters, and the human ELMO1 mutant protein and green fluorescent protein GFP are directly connected to obtain the ELMO1-GFP mutant fusion protein.
We cloned the above components into the vector PBLK-sv40 plasmid. The final plasmid obtained: PBLK-lyz ELMO1VUSGFP-sv40(p.E90K, p.D194G and p.R354X) 1.8nl (40 ng/. mu.l) of plasmid was injected into the unicellular ELMO1 gene deletion mutant and the sibling zebrafish embryos by microinjection, and the zebrafish embryos were cultured to 3 days postnatal (3dpf) for a delayed in vivo imaging experiment to analyze the pathogenicity of the human ELMO1 gene variation site.
The results are shown in FIGS. 4-5, and FIG. 4 shows deletion mutants of the zebrafish elmo1 gene (elmo 1)-/-) And its sibling zebrafish (elmo 1)+/+Or elmo+/-) The human ELMO1 gene and the gene variation site thereof are expressed in the neutrophils specifically. Panel A shows a protein schematic of the human ELMO1 gene, and the functional domain positions of the three gene variation sites involved in the present invention are indicated on the diagram. Panel B and C are statistics of neutrophil migration function. FIG. 5 shows the neutrophil movement tracks on the yolk sac of mutant and sibling zebrafish at 3 dpf. Panel B shows an injection of Tg bearing the coding region of the human ELMO1 gene (lyz: ELMO 1)hu-WTGFP) plasmid, the movement track of neutrophils in the zebrafish elmo1 mutant and its siblings, respectively. Panels C-E show the movement trajectories of neutrophils in the zebrafish ELMO1 mutant and siblings thereof after expression of three ELMO1 gene mutation sites of p.e90k, p.d194g and p.r354x, respectively, and each continuous line in the figures represents the movement trajectory of each different neutrophil.
The results show that after the expression of p.E90K and p.D194G, the migration function of the neutrophils in the mutant is recovered, while after the expression of p.R354X, the migration function of the neutrophils in the mutant cannot be recovered, and the migration function of the neutrophils in the zebra fish is inhibited. The statistical method in the figure adopts one-factor analysis of variance, ns: no significant difference, p < 0.001.
After the human ELMO1 gene variation site is expressed, p.E90K and p.D194G can recover the damaged neutrophil migration function in the zebra fish mutant, and the two gene variation sites have no strong obvious pathogenicity. And p.R354X can not restore damaged neutrophil migration function in the mutant zebra fish, and in addition, the normal neutrophil migration function in the sibling fish is influenced, so that the zebra fish mutant has obvious pathogenicity, namely pathological potential and is possibly related to the generation and development of chronic inflammation.
In conclusion, in the zebrafish elmo1 gene deletion mutant, the migration function of the sex granulocytes was impaired compared to that of the sibling wild type and heterozygous zebrafish. After the zebrafish elmo1 gene is expressed, the damaged neutrophil migration function in the mutant body is recovered. Human ELMO1 gene expression can also restore the function of damaged neutrophil migration in zebra fish mutant, and proves that human and zebra fish are highly conserved. Therefore, after the human ELMO1 gene variation site is expressed, p.E90K and p.D194G can recover the damaged neutrophil migration function in the zebra fish mutant, and the two gene variation sites have no strong obvious pathogenicity. And p.R354X can not restore damaged neutrophil migration function in the mutant zebra fish, and in addition, normal neutrophil migration function in the sibling fish is also influenced, which indicates that the zebra fish mutant has obvious pathogenicity, namely pathological potential.
The ELMO1 gene variant protein is transiently overexpressed in the zebra fish ELMO1 gene mutant, so that accurate evaluation of the gene variant on the cell movement capacity can be realized.
The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

It should be noted that, for a person skilled in the art, several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the inventive concept, which falls within the scope of the present invention.
