Description

Construction method and application of CD70 gene humanized non-human animal
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of animal genetic engineering and genetic modification, and particularly relates to a construction method of a CD70 gene modified non-human animal model and application thereof in the field of biomedicine.
Background
CD70 is one of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) superfamily members, is a type II transmembrane protein, and is mainly expressed in activated T cells, B cells, natural Killer (NK) cells and dendritic cells. The interaction between CD70 and its receptor, CD27, promotes the activation, proliferation and differentiation of T cells, B cells and NK cells, which are essential conditions for the generation of immune responses. In cellular immunity, the main biological effect of CD70/CD27 is to promote the activation of T cells and the proliferation of T cells, so that the T cells become effector T cells and memory T cells; in humoral immunity, the primary role of CD70/CD27 is to promote B cell differentiation and proliferation of plasma cells; for NK cells, the direct action of CD27 and CD70 on the surface of NK cells can increase the killing activity of NK cells, promote the differentiation of NK cells and release IFN-gamma.
Under physiological conditions, CD70 is highly precisely regulated by antibodies, antigens, cytokines, etc., and thus is expressed on the surface of activated T cells and B cells for a short period of time. In addition to expression on normal lymphocytes, CD70 is also highly expressed on the surface of a variety of tumor cells, especially blood-borne tumors such as hodgkin's lymphoma, non-hodgkin's lymphoma, leukemia, and fahrenheit macroglobulinemia (Waldenstroms macroglobulinemia), and is a potential target for partial tumor targeting and immunotherapy; among non-blood-derived tumors, the high expression of CD70 is found in undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma and germ cell cancer at the earliest, and subsequent studies find that CD70 is also highly expressed in tumors such as thymoma, nephroblastoma, glioblastoma, astrocytoma and ovarian cancer, particularly kidney cancer, which is currently considered as a novel specific tumor marker for kidney cancer. In addition, the research finds that the costimulatory signal provided by the CD27/CD70 interaction plays a promoting role in the occurrence and development of various autoimmune diseases, and selective intervention of the costimulatory pathway can alleviate or reduce the development of certain autoimmune diseases. Such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), etc., may be a specific therapeutic target for autoimmune diseases.
At present, monoclonal antibodies targeting CD70 have entered human clinics and show better safety and therapeutic effects. For example, humanized monoclonal antibody Cusatuzumab obtained by Janssen early-paid in 3 hundred million dollars and invested in 2 hundred million dollars shows good safety and tolerance, also shows a certain anti-cancer effect and shows the potential for treating the disease in a clinical test of stage I/II of CD70 positive advanced cutaneous T cell lymphoma; in another phase I/II clinical trial of acute myelogenous leukemia, cusatuzumab in combination with Azacitidine had a higher overall remission rate than the historical data for Azacitidine alone.
The experimental animal disease model is an indispensable research tool for researching etiology and pathogenesis of human diseases, developing prevention and treatment technologies and developing medicines. However, due to the differences between the physiological structures and metabolic systems of animals and humans, the traditional animal models cannot reflect the real conditions of human bodies well, and the establishment of disease models closer to the physiological characteristics of human bodies in animal bodies is an urgent need of the biomedical industry. Therefore, because of the differences in physiology and pathology between animals and humans, coupled with the complexity of genes, it remains the greatest challenge to construct "efficient" humanized animal models for new drug development.
In view of the huge application potential of the CD27/CD70 signal pathway in the treatment field of tumors, autoimmune diseases and the like, in order to further explore the relevant biological characteristics, improve the effectiveness of the preclinical pharmacodynamic test, improve the success rate of research and development, make the preclinical test more effective and minimize the research and development failure, the development of a non-human animal model of the CD27/CD70 signal pathway is urgently needed in the field. In addition, the non-human animal obtained by the method can be mated with other gene humanized non-human animals to obtain a multi-gene humanized animal model which is used for screening and evaluating the drug effect research of human drugs and combined drugs aiming at the signal path. The invention has wide application prospect in academic and clinical research.
Disclosure of Invention
The application uses human normal or mutant genes to replace homologous genes of animal genomes, and establishes a normal or mutant gene animal model which is closer to the human physiological or disease characteristics. The humanized animal model for cell or tissue transplantation is improved, and more importantly, the humanized animal model can express or partially express human protein in an animal body due to the insertion of human gene segments, can be used as a target of a drug only capable of recognizing human protein sequences, and provides possibility for screening anti-human antibodies and other drugs at the animal level.

The first "T" in (a) is the first nucleotide in the mouse. In addition, a coding gene with a negative selection marker (diphtheria toxin A subunit coding gene (DTA)) is constructed downstream of the 3' homology arm of the targeting vector. The mRNA sequence of the humanized mouse CD70 after being transformed is shown as SEQ ID NO:10, and the expressed protein sequence is shown as SEQ ID NO: shown at 11.
The construction of the targeting vector can be carried out by adopting a conventional method, such as enzyme digestion connection and the like. And carrying out preliminary verification on the constructed targeting vector by enzyme digestion, and then sending the targeting vector to a sequencing company for sequencing verification. The method comprises the steps of transfecting a targeting vector with correct sequencing verification into embryonic stem cells of a C57BL/6 mouse by electroporation, screening the obtained cells by using a positive clone screening marker gene, detecting by using PCR and Southern Blot technology to confirm the integration condition of an exogenous gene, screening correct positive clone cells, detecting clones identified as positive by PCR by using Southern Blot (cell DNA is digested by BglII or DraIII or AseI respectively and hybridized by using 3 probes, the lengths of the probes and target fragments are shown in Table 1), detecting exemplary results are shown in FIG. 4, and detecting by further verification through sequencing, wherein 4 clones with numbers of 1-A11, 1-G02, 1-G12 and 3-E06 are positive clones without random insertion.

the selected correctly positive clone cells (black mice) are introduced into the separated blastocysts (white mice) according to the known technology in the field, the obtained chimeric blastocysts are transferred into a culture solution for short-term culture and then transplanted into the oviduct of a recipient mother mouse (white mouse), and F0 generation chimeric mice (black and white alternate) can be produced. The F0 generation chimeric mice and the wild mice are backcrossed to obtain F1 generation mice, and the F1 generation heterozygous mice are mutually mated to obtain F2 generation homozygous mice. Alternatively, positive mice may be mated with Flp tool mice to remove the positive clone selection marker gene (see FIG. 5 for a schematic diagram of the process), and then mated with each other to obtain humanized homozygous CD70 gene mice. The somatic genotypes of the progeny mice can be identified by PCR (primers shown in Table 2), and the identification results of exemplary F1 mice (from which the Neo marker gene has been removed) are shown in FIG. 6, wherein 8 mice numbered F1-01, F1-02, F1-03, F1-04, F1-05, F1-06, F1-07, and F1-08 are all positive heterozygous mice. This indicates that using this method, humanized mice of the CD70 gene can be constructed that can be stably passaged without random insertions.

The expression of humanized CD70mRNA in positive mice can be confirmed by conventional detection methods, such as RT-PCR and the like. Specifically, 1 mouse of 9-week-old wild-type C57BL/6 mouse and 10-week-old humanized homozygote CD70 mouse prepared by the method were selected, and after cervical dislocation, thymus tissue was taken, and the primer sequences shown in Table 3 were designed to detect the mRNA expression of the thymus tissue of the C57BL/6 mouse and the humanized homozygote CD70 mouse. The results showed that only murine CD70mRNA expression was detected in C57BL/6 mouse thymus tissue (FIG. 7A); only expression of humanized CD70mRNA was detected in the thymus tissue of humanized homozygote mouse of CD70 gene (FIG. 7B), and no expression of murine CD70mRNA was detected (FIG. 7A).

The expression of humanized CD70 protein in positive mice can be confirmed by flow cytometry. Specifically, 1 mouse of 8-week-old wild-type C57BL/6 female mice and 1 mouse of 9-week-old humanized homozygote of CD70 gene prepared in this example were selected, bone marrow cells were harvested after cervical-denuded euthanasia, and after incubation for 24 hours with 1ug/ml Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), anti-mouse CD45 antibody Brilliant Violet 510 was usedTManti-mouse CD45 Antibody (mCD 45), murine specific T cell surface Antibody PerCP/Cy5.5 anti-mouse TCR beta chain (mTCR beta), anti-mouse CD11c Antibody Brilliant Violet 605TMFlow-through CD70 Antibody (hCD 70) recognition staining was performed after anti-mouse CD11c Antibody (mCD 11 c), anti-mouse CD70 Antibody APC anti-mouse CD70 Antibody (mCD 70) or anti-human CD70 Antibody PE anti-human CD70 Antibody (hCD 70)The detection result shows that the proportion of mCD70 marker cells (characterized by mCD45+ mTCR beta-mCD 11C + mCD70 +) in Dendritic Cells (DC) (characterized by mCD45+ mTCR beta-mCD 11C +) in wild type C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow is 14.1 percent, and the proportion of hCD70 (characterized by mCD45+ mTCR beta-mCD 11C + hCD70 +) marker cells is 0.95 percent; in contrast, the percentage of hCD 70-labeled cells in CD 70-gene-humanized mouse bone marrow DC cells was 20.1%, and the percentage of mCD 70-labeled cells was 0.94%. The results show that the humanized CD70 protein can be successfully expressed in the bone marrow cells of the humanized mouse with the CD70 gene.
Example 2 preparation of double-humanized or multiple double-humanized mice
The method or the prepared CD70 gene humanized mouse can also be used for preparing a double-humanized or multi-humanized mouse model. For example, in example 1, the embryonic stem cells used for blastocyst microinjection can be selected from mice containing other genetic modifications such as PD-1, PD-L1, CD27, CD40, OX40, 4-1BB, LAG3, etc., or can be humanized CD70 mice and then used to obtain a mouse model with CD70 and other genetic modifications by using isolated mouse ES embryonic stem cells and gene recombination targeting technology. The homozygote or heterozygote of the CD70 mouse obtained by the method can also be mated with homozygote or heterozygote of other gene modification, the offspring of the homozygote or heterozygote is screened, the homozygote or heterozygote of humanized CD70 and double-gene or multi-gene modified heterozygote of other gene modification can be obtained with a certain probability according to Mendel genetic rules, then the heterozygote is mated with each other to obtain double-gene or multi-gene modified homozygote, and the in vivo efficacy verification of targeted human CD70 and other gene regulators can be carried out by utilizing the double-gene or multi-gene modified mice.
Example 3 drug efficacy verification
The humanized mouse with CD70 gene or the mouse modified by multiple genes prepared by the method can be used for evaluating the drug effect of the targeted human CD70 antibody. For example, a tumor animal model is constructed by taking a humanized homozygote mouse of the CD70 gene, the mouse is divided into a control group or a treatment group, the treatment group is injected with an antibody drug targeting human CD70, and the control group is injected with an equal volume of physiological saline. Then, the body weight, the tumor volume and the tumor related indexes of each group of mice are monitored, and the safety and the in-vivo drug effect of the antibody drug in the humanized CD70 mice can be effectively evaluated.
