Abstract
The present invention relates to 3' UTR polynucleotides capable of improving gene expression, methods of construction and uses thereof.
Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of protein expression, and particularly relates to a 3' UTR region sequence for improving mRNA translation, and a construction method and application thereof.
Background
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) contains, in addition to coding sequences (CDS) necessary for translation of the protein, also necessary untranslated sequences such as m7G caps, 5 '-terminal untranslated regions (5'untranslated region,5 '-UTR), 3' -terminal untranslated regions (3'untranslated region,3'UTR) and poly (A) tail.
The 3'untranslated region is tightly connected with the mRNA coding region, is closely related to post-transcriptional regulation, influences the translation efficiency, stability and the like of the mRNA in cytoplasm through the combination of other regulatory factors, for example, small molecule ribonucleic acid (miRNA) is combined with the 3' untranslated region, so as to inhibit the translation of the mRNA and even induce the degradation of the mRNA; the silencer sequence in the 3' untranslated region binds to the RNA binding protein and can also inhibit translation. In addition, the longer the 3' untranslated region sequence, the greater the likelihood of negatively impacting protein translation. The 3' -UTR of the prior art is usually isolated from the animal itself without modification, and its effect may be affected by the host with uncertainty. There remains a need in the art for a universal 3' UTR region that enhances translation of mRNA.

TABLE 2 microRNA target sequence in the 3' UTR of the PIWIL4 Gene
The method for constructing the 3' UTR sequence comprises the steps of knocking out the recognition site of one or more microRNAs in the 3' UTR region of the gene and optionally adding restriction enzyme cutting sites at two ends of the 3' UTR region. Knocking out microRNA recognition sites can be accomplished by any method known in the art, such as mutating the 2-8nt target sequence in the 3' UTR that is complementary to the seed sequence (seed) of the microRNA. In a specific embodiment, primers are designed based on the 3' UTR of a gene (e.g., human PCBP4 gene or PIWIL4 gene), corresponding sequences are amplified from the RNA set by RT-PCR, and then mutations are introduced by PCR for knockout. Alternatively, the 3' UTR sequences of the invention which are engineered by natural genes can also be obtained directly synthetically. Exemplary sequences of the polynucleotides are shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs 3-7.
In other embodiments, the invention encompasses 3'utr polynucleotides obtained by artificial design, comprising a 3' utr sequence or its complement comprising a sequence of at least 3 tandem repeats of an RNA methylation (m 6A) site and optionally a linker between any two repeats. Herein, the m6A site is a recognition site for an m6A methylase or an m6A RAN methylation recognition protein. Illustratively, the m6A methylases may be METTL3, METTL14, METTL16, WTAP, VIRMA, ZC H13, RBM15, RBM158, HAKAI and KIAA1492; the m6A RNA methylation recognition protein can be YTHDC1-2, YTHDF1-3, IGF2BP1-3, prrc2a, HNRNPC, HNRNPG, FMR1, SRSF2, huR, LRPPRC, eIF and HNRNPA2B1. The m6A site useful in the present invention is selected from: AAABH, AGABH, GAABH, GGABH where b=t or C or G, h=t or a or C. The 3' utr sequence may contain a sequence of at least 4, at least 5, at least 6, at least 7, at least 8, at least 9, at least 10 tandem repeats of the m6A site. Multiple RNA methylation (m 6A) sites in a 3' utr sequence may be the same or different. The method of constructing the 3' UTR sequence includes the steps of concatenating at least 3 RNA methylation (m 6A) sites and optionally adding restriction enzyme sites at both ends. The ligation is either direct or through a linker (e.g., an oligonucleotide of 1-5bp in length). Alternatively, the 3' UTR sequences of the invention which are designed artificially can also be obtained directly synthetically. Exemplary sequences of the polynucleotides are shown in any one of SEQ ID NOs 8-14.
Herein, the polynucleotide may be DNA or RNA. The DNA may be single-stranded or double-stranded. Thus, the polynucleotides herein are generally in the form of isolated polynucleotides. The term "variant" as used herein when referring to a nucleic acid may be a naturally occurring allelic variant or a non-naturally occurring variant. Such nucleotide variants include degenerate variants, substitution variants, deletion variants and insertion variants. The nucleic acids of the invention may comprise a nucleotide sequence having at least about 70%, at least about 75%, at least about 80%, at least about 85%, at least about 90%, at least about 95%, at least about 98%, at least about 99%, or 100% sequence identity to the nucleic acid sequence. The invention also relates to nucleic acid fragments which hybridize to the sequences described above. The polynucleotides described herein can generally be obtained using PCR amplification methods. Alternatively, the nucleic acid molecules described herein can also be synthesized directly.
In two or more polypeptide or nucleic acid molecule sequences, the term "identity" or "percent identity" refers to two or more sequences or subsequences that are the same or wherein a percentage of amino acid residues or nucleotides in a specified region are the same (e.g., at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% identical) when compared and aligned for maximum correspondence over a comparison window or specified region using methods known in the art, such as sequence comparison algorithms, by manual alignment and visual inspection. For example, preferred algorithms for determining percent sequence identity and percent sequence similarity are the BLAST and BLAST 2.0 algorithms, see Altschul et al (1977) Nucleic Acids Res.25:3389 and Altschul et al (1990) J.mol.biol.215:403, respectively.
It is well known to those skilled in the art that in gene cloning operations, it is often necessary to design suitable cleavage sites, which tend to introduce one or more cleavage sites at the end of the polynucleotide, without affecting the activity of the 3' UTR polynucleotide or the protein of interest. The scope of the present invention encompasses the sequences described herein and sequences having one or more cleavage sites added at both ends thereof.
The 3' UTR polynucleotides of the invention can improve expression of the cognate gene. The improvement of expression is achieved by introducing into the cell a nucleic acid construct carrying a gene of a polynucleotide as described herein. Accordingly, the present invention also provides a nucleic acid construct of the polynucleotide. The nucleic acid construct may be an expression cassette comprising a 3'UTR polynucleotide as described herein, a multiple cloning site, and one or more regulatory sequences operably linked thereto, such as an origin of replication, multiple cloning site, promoter, marker gene or translational control element, including enhancers, operators, termination sequences such as polyA, ribosome binding site, 5' UTR. The coding sequence of the gene to be expressed may be inserted into the 5 'end of the 3' UTR polynucleotide in the nucleic acid construct. The polynucleotides of the invention may be manipulated in a variety of ways to ensure expression of the genes. The nucleic acid construct may be manipulated according to the vector or requirements prior to insertion into the vector. Techniques for altering polynucleotide sequences using recombinant DNA methods are known in the art.
The nucleic acid construct may also be an mRNA containing the gene to be expressed and the 3' utr polynucleotide described herein. The mRNA can be obtained by in vivo or in vitro transcription methods known in the art. In vitro transcribed mRNA is obtained, for example, according to the instructions of the HiScribe T7 ARCA mRNA kit.
In recombinant expression vectors, "operably linked" refers to the attachment of a nucleotide sequence of interest to a regulatory sequence in a manner that allows expression of the nucleotide sequence. Methods are well known to those skilled in the art for constructing expression vectors containing the coding sequences of the 3' UTR polynucleotides described herein and optionally the gene of interest and appropriate transcriptional/translational control signals. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, DNA synthesis techniques, in vivo recombinant techniques, and the like.
The regulatory sequence may be a suitable promoter sequence. The promoter sequence is typically operably linked to the coding sequence of the protein to be expressed. The promoter may be any nucleotide sequence that exhibits transcriptional activity in the host cell of choice including mutant, truncated, and hybrid promoters, and may be obtained from genes encoding extracellular or intracellular polypeptides either homologous or heterologous to the host cell. An example of a suitable promoter is the T7 promoter sequence. The promoter sequence is a strong constitutive promoter sequence capable of driving high levels of expression of any polynucleotide sequence operably linked thereto. Other constitutive promoter sequences may also be used, including but not limited to the T3 promoter, the SP6 promoter.
The regulatory sequences may also be suitable transcription termination sequences, sequences recognized by the host cell to terminate transcription. The termination sequence is operably linked to the 3 'end of the 3' utr polynucleotide described herein. Any termination sequence that is functional in the host cell of choice may be used in the present invention.
The control sequences may also be suitable leader sequences, 5' untranslated regions of mRNA that are important for translation by the host cell. The leader sequence is operably linked to the 5' terminus of the gene to be expressed. Any 5' untranslated region that is functional in the host cell of choice may be used in the present invention.
In certain embodiments, the nucleic acid construct is a vector. The vector may be a cloning vector, an expression vector, or a homologous recombinant vector. Polynucleotides of the invention may be cloned into many types of vectors, e.g., plasmids, phagemids, phage derivatives, animal viruses and cosmids. Cloning vectors may be used to provide coding sequences for exogenous genes and polynucleotides described herein. The expression vector may be provided to the cell as a viral vector. Gene expression is typically achieved by operably linking a polynucleotide of the invention to a promoter and incorporating the construct into an expression vector. The vector may be suitable for replication and integration of eukaryotic cells. Typical cloning vectors contain transcriptional and translational terminators, initiation sequences, and promoters useful for regulating expression of the desired nucleic acid sequence. Viral vector techniques are well known in the art and are described, for example, in Sambrook et al (2001,Molecular Cloning:A Laboratory Manual,Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory,New York) and other virology and molecular biology manuals. Viruses that may be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses, adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpesviruses, and lentiviruses. Homologous recombination vectors are used to integrate the expression cassettes described herein into the host genome.
In general, suitable vectors comprise an origin of replication functional in at least one organism, a promoter sequence, a convenient restriction enzyme site and one or more selectable markers. For example, in certain embodiments, the invention uses a pT7-m5U vector comprising a replication origin, a promoter, a polynucleotide as described herein, and optionally a selectable marker.
To assess expression of the therapeutic protein, polypeptide, or portion thereof, the expression vector introduced into the cell may also comprise either or both of a selectable marker gene or a reporter gene to facilitate identification and selection of the expressing cell from a population of cells sought to be transfected or infected by the viral vector. In other aspects, the selectable marker may be carried on a single piece of DNA and used in a co-transfection procedure. Both the selectable marker and the reporter gene may be flanked by appropriate regulatory sequences to enable expression in the host cell. Useful selectable markers include Flag, HA or V5. The reporter gene is used to identify potentially transfected cells and to evaluate the functionality of the regulatory sequences. After the DNA has been introduced into the recipient cell, the expression of the reporter gene is assayed at the appropriate time. Suitable reporter genes may include genes encoding luciferase, beta-galactosidase, chloramphenicol acetyl transferase, secreted alkaline phosphatase, or green fluorescent protein genes. Suitable expression systems are well known and can be prepared using known techniques or commercially available.
Methods for introducing genes into cells and expressing genes into cells are known in the art. The vector may be readily introduced into a host cell, e.g., a mammalian, bacterial, yeast or insect cell, by any method known in the art. For example, the expression vector may be transferred into the host cell by physical, chemical or biological means.
Physical methods for introducing polynucleotides into host cells include calcium phosphate precipitation, lipofection, particle bombardment, microinjection, electroporation, electrotransfection, and the like, e.g., directly introducing in vitro transcribed mRNA into cells by electrotransformation. Chemical means for introducing the polynucleotide into a host cell include colloidal dispersion systems such as macromolecular complexes, nanocapsules, microspheres, beads; and lipid-based systems, including oil-in-water emulsions, micelles, mixed micelles, and liposomes.
Biological methods for introducing polynucleotides into host cells include the use of viral vectors, particularly retroviral vectors, such as vectors derived from lentiviruses, poxviruses, herpes simplex virus I, adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses. The selected gene may be inserted into a vector and packaged into retroviral particles using techniques known in the art. The recombinant virus may then be isolated and delivered to a subject cell in vivo or ex vivo. Many retroviral systems are known in the art. Lentiviruses are genera under the retrovirus family. Agents for lentiviral packaging are well known in the art, as are conventional lentiviral vector systems including pRsv-REV, pMDlg-pRRE, pMD2G and interfering plasmids of interest.
Herein, a host cell contains a polynucleotide or nucleic acid construct described herein. Host cells include both cells expressing the gene of interest, e.g., CHO or PBMC cells, and also include various cells used in the production of cells for expression, e.g., e.coli cells, for use in, e.g., providing a polynucleotide of the invention or providing a vector as described herein. Cells suitable for use in the present invention may be of various types of cells of various origins, including prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, such as bacterial cells, yeast cells, insect cells and mammalian cells, including, but not limited to, sf9, BHK21, COS1, COS3, COS7, 293T, vero.

Also included herein are cell preparations comprising the cells described herein or extracts thereof. For example, the cell preparation may be a cell culture, pharmaceutical composition, kit, device, medium or system, such as a chip or the like, comprising the cells or extracts thereof described herein and a suitable medium. Suitable culture media for culturing various types of cells are well known in the art.
The function of the nucleic acid construct or cell described herein depends on the gene to be expressed carried therein, for example, if the gene to be expressed is a fluorescent protein, the nucleic acid construct or cell described herein may be used for cell tracking. If the gene to be expressed is an agent useful in the treatment of a disease, the nucleic acid constructs or cells described herein may be used to treat the disease.
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a nucleic acid construct or cell of the invention that produces a therapeutically effective amount of an active molecule (e.g., an expression product of a gene of interest in a nucleic acid construct) and a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, carrier, solubilizer, emulsifier, preservative, and/or adjuvant. In certain embodiments, acceptable diluents, carriers, solubilizers, emulsifiers, preservatives, and/or adjuvants and the like in the pharmaceutical compositions are preferably non-toxic to the recipient at the dosages and concentrations employed. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions may contain such materials for improving, maintaining, or retaining, for example, pH, permeability, viscosity, clarity, color, isotonicity, odor, sterility, stability, dissolution or release rate, absorption or permeation of the composition. These substances are known from the prior art and can be found, for example, in REMINGTON' S PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCES, 18 th edition, A.R. Genrmo, code 1990,Mack Publishing Company. The optimal pharmaceutical composition can be determined depending on the intended route of administration, the mode of delivery and the dosage required.
The route of administration of the pharmaceutical composition is according to known methods, for example, by oral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intracerebral (intraparenchymal), intracerebroventricular, intramuscular, intraocular, intraarterial, portal or intralesional route injection; either by a sustained release system or by an implanted device. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be selected for parenteral delivery. Alternatively, the composition may be selected for inhalation or delivery through the digestive tract (such as orally). The preparation of such pharmaceutically acceptable compositions is within the skill of the art. Techniques for formulating a variety of other sustained or controlled delivery means, such as liposome carriers, bioerodible particles or porous beads, and depot injections, are also known to those skilled in the art.
Pharmaceutical compositions for in vivo administration are generally provided in the form of sterile formulations. Sterilization is achieved by filtration through sterile filtration membranes. In the case of lyophilization of a composition, this method may be used to sterilize the composition either before or after lyophilization and reconstitution. Compositions for parenteral administration may be stored in lyophilized form or in solution. Parenteral compositions are typically placed in a container having a sterile access port, such as an intravenous solution tape or vial having a stopper pierceable by a hypodermic injection needle.
Once formulated, the pharmaceutical compositions are stored in sterile vials as solutions, suspensions, gels, emulsions, solids, crystals, or as dehydrated or lyophilized powders. The formulation may be stored in a ready-to-use form or reconstituted (e.g., lyophilized) prior to administration. The invention also provides kits for producing single dose administration units. Kits of the invention may each contain a first container having a dried protein and a second container having an aqueous formulation. In certain embodiments of the invention, kits are provided that contain single and multi-chamber prefilled syringes (e.g., liquid syringes and lyophilized syringes).
The invention also provides a method of treating a patient by administering a nucleic acid construct or cell or pharmaceutical composition thereof according to any of the embodiments of the invention. The terms "patient," "subject," "individual," "subject" are used interchangeably herein to include any organism, preferably an animal, more preferably a mammal (e.g., rat, mouse, dog, cat, rabbit, etc.), and most preferably a human. "treating" refers to a subject employing a treatment regimen described herein to achieve at least one positive therapeutic effect. The treatment regimen effective to treat a patient can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as the disease state, age, weight, and ability of the patient to elicit an anti-cancer response in the subject by therapy.
The therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition comprising the nucleic acid construct or cell of the invention to be employed will depend, for example, on the degree of treatment and the goal. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the appropriate dosage level for treatment will vary depending in part on the molecule delivered (e.g., the product of target gene expression in a nucleic acid construct), the indication, the route of administration, and the size (body weight, body surface or organ size) and/or condition (age and general health) of the patient. In certain embodiments, the clinician may titrate the dose and alter the route of administration to obtain the optimal therapeutic effect.
The frequency of administration will depend on the pharmacokinetic parameters of the particular target product in the formulation used (e.g., the product of target gene expression in a nucleic acid construct). The clinician typically administers the composition until a dose is reached that achieves the desired effect. The composition may thus be administered as a single dose, or over time as two or more doses (which may or may not contain the same amount of the desired molecule), or as a continuous infusion through an implanted device or catheter.
As demonstrated in the examples below, the 3' UTR polynucleotides described herein can increase gene expression intensity, increase gene expression time, increase mRNA initiation translation ability, or maintain translation activity for a prolonged period of time. Thus, the invention also provides a method of increasing the intensity of gene expression, increasing the time of gene expression, increasing the ability of an mRNA to initiate translation, or maintaining the length of translation activity, comprising the step of expressing a gene carrying a 3' utr polynucleotide as described in any of the embodiments herein. Typically, the 3'utr polynucleotide is located at the 3' end of the gene. Illustratively, expression is achieved by the above-described procedure of introducing the nucleic acid construct into a cell and incubating the cell under conditions for expression of the gene. GFP is used in the examples only as an example of the gene to be expressed.
The invention also provides the use of a3' utr polynucleotide, nucleic acid construct and/or host cell according to any of the embodiments herein in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease, the 3' utr polynucleotide being located at the 3' end of a gene, expression of the gene being conducive to the treatment of the disease. The nucleic acid construct comprising the gene and the 3' UTR polynucleotide may be introduced into a cell by the methods described above, and the gene expressed by incubating the cell under conditions for expression of the gene. The expression of the gene may be useful in the treatment of a disease in which the gene or product thereof directly produces a therapeutic effect, or may be such that expression of the gene or product thereof causes expression or activation of other genes or proteins that produce a therapeutic effect.
