Abstract
The invention relates to a retinal pigment degeneration mouse disease model, which is based on RHO genes of retinal pigment degeneration patients, 75nt DNA fragments of the patients are knocked into corresponding sites in the genome of the mice by using CRISPR/Cas9, and the fragments contain pathogenic mutation, so that a T17M gene knocked-in mouse disease model is constructed, wherein the pathogenic mutation is named as c.C50T from the nucleic acid level, and the pathogenic mutation is named as p.T17M from the protein level. The retinitis pigmentosa mouse disease model has patient-specific mutant fragments, and provides powerful support for the research and development of corresponding medicaments and gene therapy methods.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of genetic engineering, and relates to a mouse model for retinitis pigmentosa and a construction method thereof.
Background
Retinitis pigmentosa (retinitis pigmentosa, RP) is a hereditary eye disease in which progressive apoptosis of retinal photoreceptor cells occurs due to genetic mutations. The disease is mainly manifested by progressive vision loss, visual field constriction, night blindness, fundus pigmentation, and Electroretinogram (ERG) abnormality. It has been counted that the population incidence of retinitis pigmentosa is about 1/4000 worldwide, and has become a major blinding disease. The genetic patterns are classified into three types, namely, autosomal dominant inheritance (autosomal dominant RP, ADRP), autosomal recessive inheritance (autosomal recessive RP, ARRP) and sex chromosome linked recessive inheritance (X-linked RP, XLRP). In autosomal dominant inheritance RP (autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, ADRP), rhodopsin (RHO) gene mutation rates are high, accounting for approximately 25% -30% of the incidence of ADRP. The RHO gene is located at 3q22.1 and consists of 5 exons, encoding 348 amino acids. Mutation of the RHO gene causes dysfunctions of rhodopsin protein, and finally causes apoptosis of photoreceptor cells. These mutation sites are therefore also important targets in gene therapy. The construction of ADRP disease models caused by RHO gene mutation is of great significance.
Because of the difference between the mouse genome and the human genome, the currently reported retinitis pigmentosa mouse model has a great difference from the genes of the patient, so that the existing methods for gene editing developed based on the retinitis pigmentosa mouse model cannot be directly used for clinical treatment of the patient, and the methods seriously affect the gene editing for the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa diseases.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention aims to develop a mouse model of retinal pigment degeneration, which has patient-specific mutant fragments at the corresponding genomic sites, and provides a powerful support for the development of corresponding drugs and gene therapy methods.

sgRNA1:CGGCTCTCGAGGCTGCCCCACGG;
sgRNA2:CTTCTCCAACGTCACAGGCGTGG。
preferably, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system binds to the target site of the genome, cas9 exerts a cleavage activity, generating a DNA double strand break, thereby inducing DNA damage repair, the cell repair DNA by homologous recombination, and the repair template is site-directed knocked into the mouse Rho gene.
Preferably, a 195nt repair template is designed comprising 75nt of the patient DNA sequence and the pathogenic mutation RHO, p.T17M, which comprises BstXI cleavage site 5'-CCANNNNNNTGG-3' by comparison with the wild-type mouse RHO gene sequence, whereas the wild-type mouse RHO gene sequence is absent, so that the cleavage site can be used for genotyping.
Preferably, the repair template sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO.2;
the T17M gene knock-in mouse Rho part gene sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3.
Preferably, the step of identifying the mice comprises:
after the pseudopregnant female mice farrowing, the mice are F0 generation mice;
taking the tail and the toe of an F0 generation mouse, extracting the whole genome, carrying out PCR amplification and sequencing, hybridizing an F0 generation positive mouse with a wild type mouse to obtain an F1 generation mouse, taking the tail and the toe of the mouse, extracting the whole genome, and carrying out enzyme digestion verification or gene sequencing identification by using BstXI after PCR amplification.

The CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system is combined with a target site of a genome, the Cas9 plays a cutting activity, and DNA double-strand breaks are generated, so that DNA damage repair is induced, cells repair DNA through homologous recombination, and a repair template is knocked into a mouse Rho gene at a fixed point.
(4) The fertilized eggs after gene editing develop into embryos, and are transferred into the uterus of pseudopregnant female mice, and the gene knock-in mice are obtained after production.
The partial sequence of the T17M gene knock-in mouse Rho gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3:

In the present invention, the steps of breeding mice and identifying offspring include:
after the pseudopregnant female mice farrowing, the mice are F0 generation mice; tail and toe of the mouse are taken, and BstXI enzyme digestion is used for verification or gene sequencing identification is carried out after PCR amplification. The F0 generation positive mice are hybridized with wild mice to obtain F1 generation mice, the tails and toes of the F1 generation mice are taken, the whole genome is extracted, PCR amplification is carried out, bstXI enzyme digestion verification is carried out or gene sequencing identification is carried out. The F1 mice continue to breed to obtain more disease mice.
As shown by referring to FIG. 2, a repair template for respectively targeting a target sequence and 195nt of sgRNA1 and sgRNA2 is designed, wherein the target sequences of the sgRNA1 and the sgRNA2 are shown as A in FIG. 2. The repair template comprises 75nt human DNA sequence and a pathogenic mutation (RHO, p.t17m). The fertilized mouse eggs were edited and developed into embryos. The embryo after gene editing is then transplanted into the uterus of pseudopregnant female mice, and the gene knock-in mice are obtained after production (see FIG. 1). In designing the repair template, since the template contained 75nt of human DNA sequence, it was compared with the wild-type mouse Rho gene sequence, and found that the repair template contained BstXI cleavage site (5 '-CCANNNNNNTGG-3'), so that the gene knock-in mouse Rho gene sequence contained the cleavage site, whereas the wild-type (WT) mouse Rho gene sequence did not. After amplification by PCR and BstXI cleavage, agarose gel electrophoresis showed that two bands were present, the gene knocked-in mice, and that only one band was representative of the wild type mice, thus identifying (FIG. 2B). Genotyping was also performed by Sanger sequencing (C of fig. 2).
As shown in FIG. 3, the structural change of the retina of the gene knockout mouse was further observed. OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography ) showed clear structure of wild-type (WT) mouse retina, whereas gene knock-in mouse retina photoreceptor cell layers were significantly thinner, especially the outer nuclear layer (A, B of fig. 3). Further hematoxylin-eosin staining as in FIG. 3C, gene knock-in mice showed retinal structural abnormalities, most notably thinning of the outer nuclear layer to almost vanish, compared to WT mice.
From the above, it is clear from the description of FIG. 4 of the present invention that the T17M gene knock-in mouse retina structure change is remarkable, and the electrophysiological function of the mouse retina was evaluated. Electroretinograms are the total electrophysiological response of the retina recorded from the corresponding site when the retina is stimulated by light. When the dark-adapted electroretinogram detects rod cell responses (A, E), the b-wave amplitude is significantly reduced compared to WT (n=10, p < 0.0001); during dark adaptation mixing reaction, a normal wild-type mouse sequentially has a smaller negative a wave and a larger positive b wave, the a wave and b wave amplitude (B, D, E) of the T17M gene knock-in mouse are obviously reduced, and the difference is obvious (n=10, P < 0.0001); when examining cone function (C, D, E), there was no significant difference in the a-wave (n=10, p > 0.05) versus WT, the b-wave amplitude was significantly reduced (n=10, p < 0.01), suggesting that there was massive rod apoptosis in T17M knocked-in mouse retina, but cone cells also retained some functions. The apparent decrease in function of T17M gene knocked-in mice retina is consistent with OCT-detected epiretinal nuclear layer thinning.
As shown by reference to fig. 5 of the present invention, it was observed that the T17M gene knock-in mouse retinal fundus showed significant retinal pigment degeneration, retinal artery tapering, and beaded-like changes by fundus retinal detection and angiography (as indicated by arrows in fig. 5).
In conclusion, obvious abnormality appears in the structure and function of the retina of the T17M gene knock-in mouse, which is the same as the characterization of clinical patients, and the successful construction of the T17M gene knock-in mouse disease model is demonstrated.
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but is capable of modification and variation in detail, and other modifications and variations can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.
