Abstract
The invention relates to a construction method of a TFRC humanized mouse model, which comprises the following steps: (1) constructing a targeting vector for expressing a humanized TFRC gene; (2) designing and obtaining sgrnas for the mouse TFRC gene; (3) Co-injecting or co-electrotransferring the targeting vector, sgRNA and Cas9 protein into cytoplasm or nucleus of fertilized egg of mouse, transplanting fertilized egg into pseudopregnant mouse, and carrying out genotype identification to pseudopregnant mouse, and screening positive F0 mouse successfully inserted into correct humanized fragment; (4) F1 mice are obtained by breeding F0 mice and background mice, and a TFRC humanized mouse model is screened. The TFRC humanized mice constructed by the invention have application value in the fields of oncology, immunology and the like.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of animal genetic engineering, in particular to a construction method and application of a TFRC humanized mouse model.
Background
As CRISPR/Cas9 technology matures, its application is becoming more and more widespread, with the most important aspect being the use of CRISPR/Cas9 to construct transgenic pattern animals (principally gene editing mice) to provide a basic study of animal-level therapy in the pre-clinical setting.
Research on pathogenesis of human diseases and screening for effective therapeutic drugs all require extensive preclinical testing. Because of ethical limitations in preclinical studies using human cells and tissues directly, animal models are an alternative to human biological studies. The mice have small volume, easy maintenance and operation, short propagation period, similar to human in aspects of genome, physiology and the like, and have correspondingly mature gene modification technology, so the mice become widely applied mammalian model biological systems. At present, a great number of diseases are expected to be based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology, and are verified by a gene editing animal experiment and then applied to human clinical treatment.
The TFRC transferrin receptor (also known as CD 71) is a transmembrane protein responsible for the transport of iron absorbed by the digestive tract and released by erythrocyte degradation. Erythrocytes at the end stage of differentiation up-regulate the expression of the transferrin receptor (TFRC) gene to increase iron assimilation and heme production. TFRC interacts with Transferrin (TF) on the cell surface to form a complex that is internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Once the iron is released in the mature endosome, the iron-free TF-TFRC complex is circulated to the cell surface for the next round of iron absorption. TFRC is highly expressed in actively proliferating cells, particularly tumor cells, and the pathways of iron uptake, storage, transport and regulation are all disturbed, and anemia is common in tumor patients, indicating that iron metabolism is closely related to tumor cell survival. Studies have shown that the use of anti-TFRC monoclonal antibodies can effectively inhibit proliferation of malignant tumor cells of the blood system. In addition, since iron metabolism plays an important role in the vital activities of the body, the lack of TFRC may show impaired erythrocyte development and abnormal iron metabolism. Thus, a TFRC Cas9-KI mouse model was developed that could be used to evaluate various studies related to the TFRC gene.
In the process of drug development, the important role played by the mouse experimental model is not replaceable. However, due to race variability, the efficacy of TFRC inhibitors screened in mouse experiments may vary from that of humans. Therefore, the construction of the TFRC humanized mouse model has higher application value in screening and evaluating TFRC target medicaments. At present, a method for constructing a TFRC humanized mouse model and related literature reports of the TFRC humanized mouse model in the aspect of target drug application are not seen.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the problems existing at present, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for constructing a TFRC humanized mouse model, the method comprising the steps of:
(1) Constructing a targeting vector for expressing the humanized TFRC gene, and inserting the humanized TFRC gene;
(2) Designing sgRNA aiming at a translation initiation site of a mouse TFRC gene, and obtaining the sgRNA by using an in vitro transcription technology;
(3) Co-injecting or co-electrotransferring the targeting vector constructed in the step (1), the sgRNA obtained in the step (2) and the Cas9 protein into cytoplasm or nucleus of fertilized ovum of the mouse, transplanting the fertilized ovum into pseudopregnant mouse, carrying out genotype identification on pseudopregnant mouse, and screening positive F0 mouse successfully inserted into correct human fragment;
(4) F0 mice and background mice are bred to obtain F1 mice, and gene identification is carried out on the tail of the F1 generation, so that a TFRC humanized mouse model is screened.

1. Test method
Flow cytometry experiments examined the expression of TFRC protein in bone marrow of BALB/c mice and BALB/c-hTFRC F1 heterozygous positive mice. In addition, peripheral blood of BALB/c mice and BALB/c-hTFRC F1 heterozygous mice was collected, and the classification of immune cells such as T cells, B cells, NK cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, etc., in the peripheral blood of the BALB/c mice and BALB/c-hTFRC F1 heterozygous mice was examined using a flow cytometer.
