Description

Construction method and application of TFRC humanized mouse model
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.

3) Construction of sgRNA
(1) Synthesizing an upstream primer and a downstream primer of the sgRNA, wherein the purification mode of the primers is PAGE;
(2) The upstream and downstream primers of the sgRNA are respectively diluted to 100 umol/mu l and evenly mixed according to the proportion of 1:1, and the mixture is automatically and slowly annealed at room temperature;
(3) The double strand formed by annealing is connected with Puc57-sgRNA-NEO-Amp (Bsa I) for 1h, transformed and coated with Amp+ plates;
(4) Selecting a monoclonal, and carrying out PCR identification;
(5) Further sequencing and confirming the PCR positive monoclonal, wherein the sequencing primer is pUC57-T7-F;
(6) Using the properly sequenced clone as a template, and then using a primer to amplify the sgRNA transcribed DNA product by PCR;
(7) The sgrnas were transcribed and further purified using the transcribed DNA product of the sgrnas as templates.
4) sgRNA screening prepared from TFRC humanized mice
3 sets of sgrnas (Tfrc-s1+tfrc-S2, tfrc-s3+tfrc-S4 and Tfrc-s5+tfrc-S6 were designed and synthesized, see table 1 for specific sequence information) with the sgRNA recognition site at the start codon of the mouse Tfrc gene. Then, after each pair of sgrnas and Cas9 protein were incubated, they were injected into fertilized eggs for 0.5 day, and after culturing to blasts, the sgrnas cleavage activity was verified by identifying the KO positive rate of the mouse TFRC gene.
The sgRNA cleavage experimental identification method comprises the following steps: the collected blasts were subjected to PCR amplification, the protocol for PCR is shown in tables 3-4, the amplified bands were subjected to second generation sequencing, and the results were compared with the WT bands, and the probability of mutation was counted (the identified protocol is shown in Table 2).

5) TFRC humanized mouse model establishment
Designing and constructing ssDNAdonor carrying human sequences by using the screened sgRNA (Trc-S1+Trc-S2), injecting the ssDNAdonor and Cas9/sgRNA system into fertilized eggs of 0.5d mice, transplanting the fertilized eggs into 0.5d pseudopregnant female mice, and screening out a mid-target mouse (F0) through genetic identification after the mice are born.

As shown in the PCR electrophoresis results of FIG. 1 (WT is BALB/cJGpt genomic DNA (negative control), N is negative blank control (no template control), M is DNAMaroker, TRANS2K PLUS II band, 5000bp,3000bp,2000bp, 750bp,500bp,250bp,100 bp), and 5 'and 3' ends of No. 26 and No. 49 mouse TFRC genes were identified positively, and sequencing was free from mutation, indicating that the mice were positive mice for correctly carrying out gene recombination, and breeding can be attempted.
The positive F0 mice and the background mice are bred to obtain F1, the gene identification is carried out on the tail of the F1 generation, the gene identification result of the F1 generation mice is shown in the graph shown in the figure 2 ((1) is 5 'end, (2) is 3' end, (3) is wild type), and the 5 'and 3' end identification of the 58# mouse, the 60# mouse and the 64# mouse human TFRC genes are positive, which indicates that the obtained mice are heterozygous positive mice for correctly carrying out gene recombination. And F1 mice are subjected to mass propagation and then are matched with each other to obtain homozygous mice.
Test example 2 detection of hTFRC expression in BALB/c-hTFRC F1 heterozygous mice
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.
2. Test results
As shown in FIG. 3, heterozygous BALB/c-hTFRC mice detected human TFRC expression. In addition, the results of the peripheral blood immune cell grouping experiments of wild-type and heterozygous BALB/c-hTFRC mice show that the proportion of various immune cell subsets of the humanized mice is consistent with that of the wild-type mice (figures 4-7), which shows that the expression of the humanized TFRC protein by the mice has no influence on the development of immune cell subsets such as T cells, B cells, NK cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and the like of the mice.
The test results show that the BALB/c-hTFRC mouse model is successfully constructed by replacing the humanized gene of the mouse TFRC gene, which indicates that the model has wide application prospect in the fields of oncology, immunology and the like.
Although the method has been described in detail with respect to the steps, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to some of the parameters and aspects of the overall process within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover all modifications, alternatives, and adaptations falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
