Description

Method for improving WAS protein expression in human cells
Cross Reference to Related Applications
The present application claims priority from chinese patent application No. 202111422632.3 filed at 2021, 11, 26, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of gene editing technology, and in particular, to a method for increasing the expression of WAS protein (WASp) in human cells.
Background
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (also known as WAS syndrome, eczematous thrombocytopenia associated immunodeficiency syndrome, wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, WAS) is an X-linked primary immunodeficiency disease whose pathogenic principle is the expression or functional deletion of the Wiskott-Aldrich protein (WASp) due to mutation of the WAS gene. Since WASP protein is widely expressed in hematopoietic cells, it is involved in the manifestation of thrombocytopenia, eczema, immunodeficiency, susceptibility to autoimmune diseases and malignant tumors, and the like.
The WAS gene encodes a protein that modulates actin cytoskeleton, resulting in altered signaling function and/or development in multiple hematopoietic cell lineages. WAS is caused by a mutation in the WAS gene, resulting in a mutated or deleted form of the WAS protein (WASp).
X-linked thrombocytopenia (XLT) is a hereditary coagulation disorder associated with WAS. The number and size of platelets in XLT patients change to affect clotting functions. XLT results from mutations in the WAS gene, resulting in WASp reduction, deletion or alteration.
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) are a class of self-renewing, differentiation-able stem cells into various types of blood cells and immune cells, which are considered important therapeutic cells for blood system diseases, such as WAS and XLT. Furthermore, since 2009, the first treatment of WAS patients with WAS using Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), allogeneic HSCT WAS the standard therapy for radical treatment of WAS. But its biggest problem is the risk of morbidity or mortality from xenografts. In order to reduce the risk of immune rejection, HSC donors are often required to be siblings of the same HLA-type or non-related donors of HLA-match in patients, but often many patients cannot find a suitable donor in time, which is a hindrance to treatment and aggravates the condition. Thus, the art began to explore gene therapy protocols that could solve the treatment problem from the source by gene editing based on autologous HSCs of the patient, repairing WAS mutant genes.
Currently, gene therapy protocols mainly utilize gamma-retrovirus, lentivirus, or gene editing systems as vectors. Retroviral or lentiviral vector-based therapies, although to some extent, alleviate symptoms in patients, such as reducing bleeding, frequency of infection, ameliorating eczema. However, WAS gene therapy suffers from the difficulty that WAS is expressed in almost all hematopoietic cells, and thus requires that WAS expression be restored in cells of each lineage after treatment to achieve the best therapeutic effect. Currently, reported lentiviral gene therapies have achieved a certain therapeutic effect, but may bring about some unknown side effects due to the use of viruses. And compared with gene therapy based on a retrovirus vector, the CRISPR gene editing system can realize site-directed integration, has better control on safety, and is a relatively better choice.
Furthermore, the pathogenic genotype and clinical phenotype of WAS is complex. The pathogenic sites can be statistically distributed in each exon or intron of the WAS gene, including missense mutations, nonsense mutations, deletion mutations, frameshift mutations, and the like. Therefore, searching for a WAS patient capable of safely, effectively and efficiently treating various pathogenic genotypes and searching for a tool capable of repairing a plurality of even all disease curing genes at the same time is a problem to be solved.
Disclosure of Invention
Because the pathogenic mutation genotypes of WAS patients are very diverse and likely to be distributed throughout most regions of WAS genes, designing specific repair therapies for patients of each different mutation type is no different from cup-and-wage, and some mutations are limited by technology and cannot be used to design suitable specific repair tools. To solve this technical problem, the present application devised a solution to replace the original mutant WAS sequence with a foreign sequence (coWAS) with an optimized coding region of the wild-type WAS sequence to repair all mutations that may exist on the WAS gene.
For introducing coWAS, the simplest approach is direct delivery with retrovirus or lentivirus, but this approach is to integrate the coWAS randomly into the patient's genome, which can present problems: random insertion sites, uncontrollable gene expression levels, and potential carcinogenic risk; furthermore, this approach only introduces coWAS, and the patient's own mutant WAS gene is still present and the mutant WAS protein is still expressed, thus, some unpredictable safety issues may also result. In order to solve the technical problem, the application provides a CRISPR/Cas9 mediated site-directed homologous recombination (HDR) technical scheme, which realizes the integration of coWAS at the original expression site of a mutant WAS gene of a patient, so that the coWAS obtains an expression environment and an expression level similar to those of an endogenous WAS gene, the mutant WAS obtains higher repair efficiency, and the HSC after gene repair can be differentiated into various blood cells with normal functions.

It should be noted that certain terms are used throughout the description and claims to refer to particular components. Those of skill in the art will understand that a person may refer to the same component by different names. The specification and claims do not identify differences in terms of components, but rather differences in terms of the functionality of the components. As referred to throughout the specification and claims, the terms "include" or "comprising" are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean "include, but not limited to. The description hereinafter sets forth the preferred embodiment for carrying out the present application, but is not intended to limit the scope of the present application in general, as the description proceeds. The scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.
The present application provides a method of increasing the expression of a WAS protein (WASp) in a human cell comprising:
the mutant WAS genome in human cells WAS edited using CRISPR/Cas9 system and homologous recombination nucleic acid.
The human cells can be, for example, hematopoietic stem cells or T cells, and the CRISPR/Cas9 system and the homologous recombination nucleic acid are used for editing the mutant WAS genome in the human cells, so that the WASp expression of patients can be improved, and the functions of the related blood cells can be recovered.
The "CRISPR/Cas" is a gene editing technique including, but not limited to, various naturally occurring or artificially designed CRISPR/Cas systems, such as the CRISPR/Cas9 system used herein. The naturally occurring CRISPR/Cas system (Naturally occurring CRISPR/Cas system) is an adaptive immune defense that bacteria and archaea develop during long-term evolution, and can be used to combat invasive viruses and foreign DNA. For example, the principle of CRISPR/Cas9 operation is that crRNA (CRISPR-extended RNA) binds to a tracrRNA (trans-activating RNA) by base pairing to form a tracrRNA/crRNA complex that directs nuclease Cas9 protein to cleave double-stranded DNA at the sequence target site paired with the crRNA. By artificially designing the tracrRNA and crRNA, sgRNA (single guide RNA) with guiding effect can be engineered to be sufficient to guide the site-directed cleavage of DNA by Cas 9. As an RNA-guided dsDNA binding protein, cas9 effector nucleases are able to co-localize RNA, DNA and protein, thus possessing tremendous engineering potential.
In one embodiment, the mutant WAS genome is complementary to any sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1-SEQ ID NO:8 and SEQ ID NO:20-SEQ ID NO: 27.
In one embodiment, a sgRNA comprising any one of the sequences selected from SEQ ID NO:20-SEQ ID NO:27 and a homologous recombination nucleic acid is introduced into the human cell to effect editing of the mutant WAS genome.
The "sgRNA (single guide RNA)" and "gRNA (guide RNA)" may be "single guide RNAs", "synthetic guide RNAs" or "guide RNAs" are used interchangeably.
The "guide sequence" may be a sequence of about 17-20bp specifying the targeting site, and may be used interchangeably with "guide sequence" or "spacer". In the context of forming a CRISPR complex, a "target sequence" is, for example, a sequence to which a guide sequence is designed to have complementarity, wherein hybridization between the target sequence and the guide sequence promotes CRISPR complex formation, which hybridization requires that the "target sequence" and the "guide sequence" or "guide sequence" have sufficient complementarity to cause hybridization and promote CRISPR complex formation, and complete complementarity is not necessary.
By "complementary" is meant that the "guide sequence" or "guide sequence" hybridizes to a target nucleotide sequence (for purposes of this application, the mutant WAS genomic target nucleotide sequence in a human cell) by the nucleotide pairing rules found by watson and crick. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a "guide sequence" can hybridize to a target nucleotide sequence so long as it has sufficient complementarity, without requiring 100% complete complementarity between them. In some embodiments, the degree of complementarity between a guide sequence and its corresponding target sequence can be about or greater than about 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more when optimally aligned using an appropriate alignment algorithm. The optimal alignment may be determined using any suitable algorithm for aligning sequences, including the Smith-Waterman algorithm, the Needleman-Wimsch algorithm, the Burrows-Wheeler Transform based algorithm, and the like.
Generally, in the context of endogenous CRISPR systems, the formation of a CRISPR complex (including hybridization of a guide sequence to a target sequence and complexing with one or more Cas proteins) results in cleavage of one or both strands in or near the target sequence (e.g., in a range of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 50 or more base pairs from the target sequence).
In one embodiment, the nucleotide sequence of the sgRNA is shown in any one of SEQ ID NO:1-SEQ ID NO:8, preferably, the sgRNA is a sgRNA with methoxy modification and thio modification at 3 bases at both the 5 'and 3' ends.
The methoxy modification refers to modification with methoxy (-O-CH) 3 ) The hydroxyl (-OH) group at the carbon atom at ribose 2-position in the base is replaced, and the sequence is denoted by m below.
The thio modification refers to the replacement of a non-bridging oxygen atom in the phosphate backbone with a sulfur atom, represented by the following sequence.
The sequences of SEQ ID NO. 1-SEQ ID NO. 8 were designed as follows:
the size of the sequence is 100bp, the sequence consists of a space corresponding sequence and scaffold, the length of the scaffold is 80bp, and the sequence is as follows:

The "hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs)" described herein are the most primitive hematopoietic cells in which various blood cells occur. The main characteristics are that the cell culture medium has vigorous proliferation potential, multidirectional differentiation capacity and self-renewal capacity, so that the cell culture medium not only can differentiate and supplement various blood cells, but also can maintain the characteristics and the quantity of stem cells through self-renewal. Hematopoietic stem cells vary in their degree of differentiation and proliferation capacity, and are heterogeneous. Multipotent hematopoietic stem cells are the most primitive and first differentiate into committed multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, such as myeloid hematopoietic stem cells that can give rise to the lineage, erythroid lineage, mononuclear lineage, and megakaryo-platelet lineage, and lymphoid stem cells that can give rise to B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes. These two types of stem cells are not only maintained with basic characteristics of hematopoietic stem cells, but also slightly differentiated, and are respectively responsible for the generation of 'bone marrow components' and lymphocytes, so that they are called directional multipotent hematopoietic stem cells. They differentiate further into hematopoietic progenitor cells, which, while also primitive, have lost many of the essential features of hematopoietic stem cells, such as having lost the ability to differentiate multipotentially, but only toward one or closely related secondary cells; the repeated self-renewing ability is lost, and the number is supplemented by the proliferation and differentiation of the hematopoietic stem cells; proliferation potential is limited and can only split several times. According to the number of blood cell lines that can be differentiated from hematopoietic progenitor cells, the hematopoietic progenitor cells are further classified into unipotent hematopoietic progenitor cells (differentiated into only one blood cell line) and oligopotent hematopoietic progenitor cells (differentiated into 2 to 3 blood cell lines). The term "hematopoietic stem cells" as used herein encompasses multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, committed multipotent hematopoietic stem cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells, and is a generic term for hematopoietic stem cells having different heterogeneity. In this application, "hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells" and the term "hematopoietic stem cells" are used interchangeably to express the same meaning.
In particular embodiments of the present application, hematopoietic stem cells (HSPCs) to be genetically edited as used herein may be derived from mononuclear cells in Bone Marrow (BM), cord Blood (CB), or recruited peripheral blood (mPB).

Examples
The materials used in the test and the test methods are generally and/or specifically described herein, and in the examples which follow,% represents wt%, i.e., weight percent, unless otherwise specified. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional reagent products commercially available without the manufacturer's knowledge.
EXAMPLE 1 screening of sgRNA
(1) Primary screening of preferred sgrnas by primary T cells
The sgRNA1-1, the sgRNA1-2, the sgRNA1-4, the sgRNA1-5, the sgRNA2-2, the sgRNA2-3, the sgRNA2-4 and the corresponding spacer of the sgRNA2-5 are connected into the sgRNA expression plasmid by a synthetic method, and the DNA sequence corresponding to the spCas9 mRNA is connected into another expression plasmid by a genetic synthesis method. These two plasmids were simultaneously transferred into 293T cells using liposomes, the cell genomes were collected for 72 hours, and T7E1 assays were performed on the gene editing results from these sgRNAs, respectively. After gene editing occurs, non-homologous end joining (Non-homologous end joining, NHEJ) of the edited site occurs and base deletion and insertion of the editing site is randomly caused during the joining process. When these edited products are amplified in vitro and re-annealed, imperfect duplex matches may be formed between different repair forms, or between wild type. T7E1 endonuclease can recognize and cut the mismatched structures, and the editing efficiency can be obtained by running glue, photographing and gray level calculation of the proportion of cut products to uncut products. The detection original result is shown in fig. 1 (2 repeated results), and the statistical result is shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleavage ratios of the sgRNAs 1-1, 1-5, 2-3 and 2-4 are high, and the cleavage efficiency is good.
Next, sgRNA1-1, sgRNA1-5, sgRNA2-3 and sgRNA2-4 were synthesized as the sgRNAs with methoxy and thio modifications. Methoxy modification refers to modification with methoxy (-O-CH) 3 ) The hydroxyl (-OH) group at the carbon atom at position 2 of ribose is replaced. Thio modification refers to the replacement of a non-bridging oxygen atom in the phosphate backbone with a sulfur atom. The modified sgrnas described above were transformed into human primary T cells by electrotransformation with spCas9 mRNA, and editing efficiency and statistical cell viability were tested as described above, with the results shown in fig. 3A and 3B, respectively.
(2) Editing hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) with sgRNA genes, verifying initially screened sgRNA
Cd34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from peripheral blood of healthy humans were resuscitated and cells were collected after 48 hours of in vitro activation. Four sgrnas 1-1, 1-5, 2-3 and 2-4, which were verified by in vitro experiments, were electrically transferred into HSPCs with spCas9 mRNA respectively, under the conditions of 200-600v and 0.5-2ms, and after the electric transfer, the gene editing efficiency was detected by first generation sequencing, after 4 days, 20 μl of the sample was mixed with AO/PI staining solution in equal proportion, and then the cell viability was detected on a cell counter (cell counter K2), and the results are shown in fig. 4A and 4B, respectively.
EXAMPLE 2 screening of different homologous recombinant DNA templates
(1) Determination of preferred infection MOI
During research, the method for directly comparing the editing efficiency of different homologous recombination DNA templates under different conditions is designed, the homologous recombination DNA templates of Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) with the same size as the coWAS are inserted into the same locus of an endogenous WAS gene in the research process, and the editing efficiency is directly detected by adopting a streaming method, wherein the editing efficiency of the GFP is approximately equal to the editing efficiency of the WAS.

Hematopoietic stem cells derived from peripheral blood are subjected to in vitro activation for 48 hours, are electrically transformed by sgRNA1-1, are immediately infected by AAV6-GFP with different titers (MOI), and are detected by a flow cytometer 4 days after infection, and the infection efficiency is analyzed, and the result is shown in FIG. 5.
As can be seen from fig. 5, as the virus titer increases, the GFP positive rate of the cells increases and the infection efficiency increases. When AAV6-GFP virus titers were greater than 5x10e3 vg/cell, the GFP+ ratio was greater than 70% and thus titers of 5x10e3 vg/cell were used in subsequent experiments.
(2) HDR mediated gene editing by sgRNA in combination with AAV6
After in vitro activation of HSPCs derived from peripheral blood of healthy people for 48 hours, the sgRNA1-1 or the sgRNA2-3 and the mRNA of spCas9 are respectively electrically transferred into the HSPCs under the conditions of 200-600V and 0.5-2ms, four AAV6 viruses (AAV 6-G1-1,2500bp, AAV6-G2-3,2500bp and AAV6-G2-3,1900 bp) are infected into corresponding cells after the electric transfer, and a control group (shown in the following table 2) also infects the corresponding cells. GFP expression was examined by flow cytometry four days after infection, and the efficiency of gene editing was analyzed, and in addition, 20. Mu.l of a cell sample was diluted with an AOPI dye in equal proportions and the cell viability was examined by a cell counter, and the results are shown in Table 2 and FIGS. 6 to 8.
TABLE 2 GFP ratio and cell Activity in the experimental and control groups
Figure BDA0003968132440000361
As can be seen from table 2 and fig. 6-8, gene editing of HSPCs using the sgRNA and AAV6 (carrying GFP) combination, and flow cytometry detection showed that the homologous recombination efficiencies were both higher than 30%. The third generation sequencing result shows that GFP homologous recombination efficiency is consistent with the flow detection result.
Example 3 in vitro functional verification
HSPCs derived from peripheral blood of healthy humans were electrotransferred into HSPCs with mRNA of sgRNA2-3 and spCas9 for two days in vitro under conditions of 200-600V for 0.5-2ms, and immediately after electrotransfer, infected with AAV 6-G2-3.2500. After overnight infection, fresh medium for HSPCs was changed. Four days after the culture, the cells were collected, and monocyte differentiation was performed, and after 7 days of differentiation, cd14+ monocytes were positively sorted by using magnetic beads, and further macrophage differentiation was performed. After 7 days of macrophage differentiation, CD14, GFP and WASp expression was examined using a loss cell tester and the results are shown in fig. 9.
As can be seen from fig. 9, HSPCs can still differentiate into macrophages after gene editing. After cleavage of sgrnas 2-3, WASp expression was reduced in the sgRNA group and the sgrna+aav6 group compared to the control group (Mock). HSPCs (sgRNA+AAV 6 group) that were post-electric transduction with sgRNA2-3 and then infected with AAV6-G2-3.2500 showed enhanced GFP expression compared to the uninfected sgRNA group and the control group (Mock).
Example 4 in vivo reconstruction function verification
HSPCs from peripheral blood of healthy people are activated in vitro for two days, mRNA of sgRNA2-3 and spCas9 is used for electrotransfer into the HSPCs, the electrotransfer condition is 200-600V, AAV6-G2-3.2500 is used for infection immediately after 0.5-2ms electrotransfer, and fresh culture medium of the HSPCs is changed after the infection is over night. The sgRNA+AAV group is an experimental group, the sgRNA group is not subjected to AAV infection treatment only through the electrical transformation of the sgRNA2-3 and the spCas9, the AAV6 group is not subjected to electrical transformation treatment only through the AAV6-G2-3.2500 infection treatment, and the control group is not subjected to electrical transformation or infection treatment. Cells were collected after four days of culture, and the obtained cells were transplanted by intravenous injection into NPG immunodeficient mouse model irradiated with 1.0Gy (purchased from beijing-veron biotechnology limited (Beijing Vitalstar Biotechnology, inc.) the cell transplantation efficiency in mouse bone marrow was examined at week 17 after transplantation, and the distribution ratio was examined and analyzed with a flow cytometer, as shown in fig. 10, with human CD3, CD4, CD8 antibody-labeled human T cells, human CD33 antibody-labeled myeloid cells, human CD19 antibody-labeled B cells, NK 56 antibody-labeled cells.
As can be seen from fig. 10, HSPCs can still be transplanted into bone marrow after gene editing, and the immune system is reconstituted after transplantation into immunodeficient mice (NPG mice). 17 weeks after transplantation, gfp+ edited cells were still detectable by the sgrna+aav group, demonstrating that edited HSPCs were not only in vivo transplantable, but also reconstituted.
