Description

Mutant of siRNA for inhibiting influenza virus and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of inhibiting influenza viruses, and particularly relates to a mutant of siRNA for inhibiting influenza viruses and application thereof.
Background
Influenza virus is an important pathogen that can cause large-scale acute respiratory infectious diseases, and is also an important zoonotic virus. The influenza virus has extremely strong transmission force, and can be transmitted mainly through spray, or can be directly or indirectly transmitted after being contacted with mucous membranes such as oral cavities, nasal cavities and the like of patients.
The influenza viruses are classified into four types A, B, C, D, because of their different types of matrix proteins and nucleoprotein surface antigens. Among them, influenza A Virus (IAV) has strong antigen variability and wide infection host range, and can cause serious respiratory diseases of human beings and other animals, and has serious harm to life health of human beings and animals and economic benefit of animal husbandry. Influenza B Virus (IBV) is commonly co-transmitted with IAV, with infection by IBV mostly occurring in children and young children, and several studies have shown that 20% -30% of established influenza viruses are caused by IBV. In addition, a serological investigation of pigs showed that pigs are also susceptible to IBV. Influenza C Virus (ICV) causes less symptoms in healthy adults, but can cause severe complications of lower respiratory tract infections in children, particularly children under 2 years of age. Influenza D Virus (IDV) is currently found to infect mainly pigs, cattle, etc., and has not been found to be capable of causing infection to humans.
Influenza virus is an important zoonotic virus, can cause serious respiratory tract infection of human beings and animals, and has serious harm to the life health of the human beings and the economic benefit of animal husbandry. Currently, methods for controlling influenza virus transmission are mainly divided into two aspects, namely vaccine prevention and drug treatment. Because of more influenza virus subtypes and strong variability, vaccines need to be updated continuously, but the prevention effect of the vaccines is still to be improved, and influenza virus treatment drugs including amantadine, oseltamivir and the like have certain defects and limitations. Thus, it is urgent and necessary to find new, flexible, and effective treatments for influenza viruses.
Compared with traditional anti-influenza virus medicines such as amantadine, oseltamivir and zanamivir, the novel siRNA medicine has the advantages of being high in designability, high in specificity, quick in response and the like in application of the anti-influenza virus medicines, and mainly has the advantages that the siRNA medicine can effectively inhibit influenza virus under the condition of not depending on host immune functions, but the effective siRNA medicine has a certain number of base lengths, the effect is difficult to maintain if the length of the siRNA needs to be reduced, once one base is reduced, the effect of the siRNA is possibly lost, and the technical problem that the siRNA is limited by the length needs to be solved.

Experimental effect: 1. specific siRNA significantly down-regulates expression of AASDHPPT protein without affecting cell viability
1. Specific siRNA fragments (experimental group) and control Scramble siRNA (control group) in Table 1 were transfected into A549 cells, the amount of transfection was 30pmol in each group, the transfection was repeated three times in each group, cells were lysed 36h after transfection, RNA thereof was extracted and cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription, and then fluorescent quantitative PCR (primer sequence see Table 2 below) was performed to detect the expression level of AASDHPPT, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 1, the specific siRNA was able to reduce the expression level of AASDHPPT to 3.166%. In addition, the transfected cells were lysed for Western Blot detection.
TABLE 2 fluorescent quantitative primers
Experimental results show that the specific siRNA can effectively reduce the expression of AASDHPPT in both gene and protein levels. Meanwhile, it was also verified that the siRNA was able to effectively reduce the expression of AASDHPPT without affecting the cell activity.
2. Specific siRNA significantly inhibited replication of influenza virus: to determine the effect of this specific siRNA on influenza virus, specific siRNA (experimental group) and control Scrambled siRNA (control group) in table 1 were transfected into a549 cells, respectively, the amount of transfection was 30pmol in each group, three groups were repeatedly transfected in each group, transfected cells were obtained, a/WSN/33 (H1N 1) (moi=0.01) virus was infected after 36H, respectively, and cell supernatants were collected at 24H, 48H, and virus plaque titration experiments were performed.
The results of virus plaque titration show that the specific siRNA (experimental group) has a remarkable inhibition effect on replication of H1N1 subtype influenza virus, and the inhibition times of 24H and 48H after virus infection are about 450 times and 600 times respectively (A in figure 2). Meanwhile, in order to verify the inhibition effect of the specific siRNA on H1N1 subtype influenza virus, we detected the influence of the specific siRNA on the expression of viral NP protein, and after infection, cells were lysed and Western Blot detection was performed on 2H, 4H, 6H and 8H (B in FIG. 2), and the expression level of NP protein was significantly reduced.
3. Specific siRNA inhibits expression of influenza virus proteins: on the basis that the specific siRNA has been determined to have a significant inhibitory effect on the NP protein expression of influenza virus, the effect of the specific siRNA on the expression level of other proteins of influenza virus is clarified. After transferring the specific siRNA in table 1 into a549 cells by the exogenous transfection technique, the amount of transfection was 30pmol, three groups were transfected repeatedly, WSN virus was infected at moi=5, and cell samples were lysed at 0 h, 3 h, 6h, 9 h after infection, and the expression of influenza virus PB1, PB2, M2, NS1, HA, PA proteins were detected.
Experimental results show that the siRNA has inhibition effect on protein expression of influenza virus after being transferred into A549 cells (figure 3).
4. Specific siRNA inhibits influenza vRNP complex entry: replication processes of influenza virus include adsorption, endocytosis, membrane fusion, capsid removal, nuclear entry, transcription, replication, assembly and release. To determine the effect of this specific siRNA on influenza virus life cycle, the siRNA in table 1 was first transferred into a549 cells by exogenous transfection technique in an amount of 30pmol, three groups were repeatedly transfected, WSN virus was infected at moi=5, and samples were fixed at 2 h, 4h, 6h, 8h after infection, and differences in the localization of NP proteins in the experimental and control groups in a549 cells were observed by laser confocal microscopy.
Experimental results show that at the time of infection with 2 h, the NP protein of the control group had entered the nucleus, while the NP transfected with the specific siRNA experimental group was still blocked outside the nucleus (fig. 4), indicating that the specific siRNA affected the stage of the influenza vRNP complex entering the nucleus or before the nucleus, and that specific stages were to be studied further.
Specific siRNA had no effect on VSV-GFP replication: to determine whether the specific siRNA has an inhibitory effect on other single-stranded negative strand RNA viruses, VSV-GFP (single-stranded negative strand RNA virus and enters cells after endocytosis) was selected as a representative strain for verification. The specific siRNA (experimental group) and control Scrambled siRNA (control group) transfected 293T cells were compared by an inverted fluorescence microscope, the amount of each group was 30pmol, three groups were repeatedly transfected, and after 12 h of the VSV-GFP virus infection, GFP fluorescence intensity was observed, and no significant difference was found between the fluorescent intensities of the experimental group and the control group. The results showed that this specific siRNA had no significant effect on VSV-GFP replication (FIG. 5).
6. Effect of specific siRNA on influenza virus on different cell lines: to determine whether this specific siRNA had significant inhibition of influenza virus on other cells, the specific siRNA (experimental group) in table 1 and the control Scrambled siRNA (control group) were transfected into 293T cells and CEF cells, each at 30pmol, three groups were repeatedly transfected, WSN virus was infected after 36h, western Blot experiments were performed on cells lysed after infection of 2 h, 4h, 6h, 8h, and virus plaque titration experiments were performed by pipetting supernatants from cells infected with viruses 24h and 48 h.
The experimental results showed that the specific siRNA drastically reduced the inhibition of influenza virus on 293T cells, the fold inhibition was reduced to about 15 fold (a in fig. 6, B in fig. 6), and no significant inhibition of replication of influenza virus on CEF cells was detected (C in fig. 6, D in fig. 6).
7. Effect of specific siRNA on replication of different subtypes of influenza virus: the specific siRNA has remarkable inhibiting effect on the replication of WSN (H1N 1), and in order to determine whether the specific siRNA has broad spectrum on the regulation and control effect of influenza viruses, two influenza strains with high pathogenicity, namely A/Anhui/2/2005 (H5N 1) and A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N 9), are selected as the representative strains of other subtype influenza viruses. Specific siRNA (experimental group) and control Scrambled siRNA (control group) in table 1 were transfected into a549 cells in an amount of 30pmol each, three groups were repeatedly transfected, AH05 (H5N 1) and AH13 (H7N 9) viruses were infected at moi=0.1 after 36H, and cell supernatants were harvested after 24H, 48H for virus plaque titration experiments. The evaluation-related experiments were all completed in a biosafety class 3 laboratory.
The result shows that the specific siRNA has obvious inhibition effect on AH05 (H5N 1) and AH13 (H7N 9) viruses, and the inhibition times are respectively 400 times (H5N 1) and 145 times (H7N 9) of 24H after virus infection; the specific siRNAs were found to have broad spectrum in controlling the replication of different subtypes of influenza virus (FIG. 7) up to 330-fold (H5N 1), 400-fold (H7N 9) at 48 hours post-viral infection, respectively.
The target protein targeted by the specific siRNA sequence in the table 1 is AASDHPPT by BLAST comparison, and the comparison result is shown in figure 8. Then research is developed based on the AASDHPPT protein targeted by the specific siRNA, but after repeated verification, the specific siRNA has the effect of inhibiting the influenza virus function independently of the AASDHPPT protein, namely, only the siRNA which reduces the expression of the AASDHPPT protein has a remarkable inhibiting effect on the influenza virus, and other siRNA which can reduce the expression of the AASDHPPT protein and an AASDHPPT protein knockout cell line can not have the effect of inhibiting the influenza virus equally to the specific siRNA, so that the AASDHPPT overexpression cell line is constructed for further eliminating the influence of the AASDHPPT, and the result shows that the cell line has no obvious influence on the replication of the influenza virus. Then, the specific siRNA itself was examined and analyzed from the viewpoint of exerting an inhibitory action mechanism on influenza virus. In the study, firstly, the inhibition effect of the specific siRNA on influenza virus is clarified, and meanwhile, the obvious inhibition effect on the expression of various viral proteins of the influenza virus and the obvious inhibition of the nuclear progress of NP protein are found. Second, the effect of this specific siRNA on VSV-GFP was evaluated and found to have no significant effect on VSV-GFP replication. Meanwhile, the inhibition effect of the specific siRNA on replication of influenza viruses on different cells is evaluated, and the inhibition effect of the specific siRNA on replication of influenza viruses on 293T cells is obviously reduced, the inhibition multiple is about 15 times, and no obvious influence on replication of influenza viruses on CEF cells is detected.
In summary, the inhibition of influenza virus replication and various viral proteins by specific siRNA in table 1 was clarified as described above, while its effect on different strains and its effect on influenza virus replication on different cells was evaluated.

TABLE 4 AGO2 primers used for knockout
Experimental effect: 1. specific siRNA has the action mode of siRNA classical pathway
The double-stranded siRNA is bound to a Dicer complex containing AGO2 protein, and the double-stranded siRNA is unwound into a single strand by the Dicer complex, and then target cleavage is performed on target mRNA. Thus, to verify whether the specific siRNA functions through the classical pathway of siRNA function, target cleavage of the mRNA of interest. This study established whether the specific siRNA still exerted an inhibitory effect on influenza virus in the absence of AGO2 by constructing an AGO2 knockout a549 cell line.
Specific siRNA (experimental group) and control Scrambled siRNA (control group) in table 1 were transfected into AGO2 knockout cell lines, each group transfected with three replicates according to the method of construction of AGO2 knockout cell lines. WSN virus was infected at moi=0.01 at 36h after exogenous transfection, and cell supernatants were collected 24h, 48h after infection for virus plaque titration experiments.
As a result, as shown in fig. 9, when AGO2 protein was knocked out, the specific siRNA was transfected exogenously, and then almost lost replication of influenza virus, i.e., the inhibition of influenza virus by the specific siRNA was a classical pathway requiring the presence of AGO2 protein and acting by siRNA.
2. Specific siRNA antisense strand marker fluorescence does not affect the inhibition of influenza virus: to clarify the dynamic process of entry of the specific siRNA into cells, carboxyfluorescein (FAM) labelling was used. FAM fluorescent marker is firstly marked on the antisense strand (UUCGGGUAAGGAUUCGAUGTT) of the specific siRNA, the dynamic process of the specific siRNA entering cells is observed, and meanwhile, whether the specific siRNA after FAM fluorescent marker has influence on virus replication is verified. The newly synthesized siRNA (FAM-UUCGGGUAAGGAUUCGAUGTT and CAUCGAAUCCUUACCCGAATT) experimental group and the control Scrambled siRNA (control group) in Table 1 were transfected into A549 cells in an amount of 30pmol each, and the transfection was repeated three times in each group, and after 36h, WSN virus was infected, and 24h, 48h cell supernatants were collected for plaque titration experiments. The experimental results show that the specific siRNA has no effect on the inhibition of influenza virus when fluorescence is labeled at the 5' end of the antisense strand (a in fig. 10). Western Blot experiments were performed to lyse cells after infection with H1N1 virus 2H, 4H, 6H, 8H, and samples were collected, and the experimental results showed that fluorescence labeling on the 5' -end of the antisense strand had no significant effect on the expression level of the influenza NP protein by the specific siRNA (B in FIG. 10). Meanwhile, the effect of the specific siRNA on the vRNP in the case of fluorescence labeling at the 5 '-end of the antisense strand was not changed as observed by laser confocal experiments, and the experimental results showed that the effect of the specific siRNA on the vRNP in the case of fluorescence labeling at the 5' -end of the antisense strand was not changed (C in FIG. 10).
3. Specific siRNA sense strand marker fluorescence affects its inhibition of influenza virus: similarly, FAM was fluorescently labeled on the sense strand of the specific siRNA (CAUCGAAUCCUUACCCGAATT), the dynamic process of its entry into the cell was observed and the effect of fluorescence labeling of the specific siRNA on influenza virus inhibition was determined, and fluorescence labeling was performed on the 5' end of the sense strand of the specific siRNA. The newly synthesized siRNA (FAM-CAUCGAAUCCUUACCCGAATT and UUCGGGUAAGGAUUCGAUGTT) experimental group and the control Scrambled siRNA (control group) in Table 1 were transfected into A549 cells at 30pmol each, three groups were repeatedly transfected in each group, after 36h, WSN virus was infected, and 24h, 48h cell supernatants were collected for virus plaque titration experiments.
The experimental results show that fluorescence labeling at the 5' end of the sense strand eliminates the inhibition of influenza virus by this specific siRNA (A in FIG. 11). Western Blot experiments were performed to lyse cells after infection with virus 2 h, 4h, 6h, 8h, and samples were collected, and the experimental results showed that fluorescence labeling on the 5' -end of the sense strand had no significant effect on the expression level of the specific siRNA on the influenza NP protein (B in FIG. 11). Meanwhile, the effect of the specific siRNA on the nuclear penetration of vRNP when the fluorescent marker is at the 5 'end of the sense strand is observed through a laser confocal experiment, and the experimental result shows that the effect of the specific siRNA on the nuclear penetration of vRNP when the fluorescent marker is at the 5' end of the sense strand is not observed (C in FIG. 11).
Example 3 application of truncated specific siRNA in inhibiting influenza Virus
Determining the shortest length of the specific siRNA exerting an inhibitory effect on influenza virus: to determine the effect of the base length of the specific siRNA on the inhibition of influenza virus, the original specific siRNAs (specific siRNA-sense and specific siRNA-anti in Table 3) were truncated 1bp each time from the 5 'end or the 3' end. First, a novel siRNA (specific siRNA short-1-sense and specific siRNA short-1-dose in Table 3) truncated 1bp from the 5' end was transfected into A549 cells with a control siRNA of 30pmol in each group, and after 36h, WSN virus was infected, western Blot experiments were performed on cells lysed 2 h, 4h, 6h, 8h after virus infection, and virus plaque titration experiments were performed by pipetting supernatants of 24h and 48h cells after virus infection. The specific siRNA was truncated by 2bp (specific siRNAs short-2-sense and specific siRNAs short-2-antisense), 3bp (specific siRNAs short-3-sense and specific siRNAs short-3-antisense) from the 5 'end in sequence, the original specific siRNA was truncated by 1bp (specific siRNAs short-4-sense and specific siRNAs short-4-antisense) from the 5' end, and the siRNA sequence was repeated. The experimental results are shown in FIG. 12, the truncated new siRNA sequences (siRNA short-1 and siRNA short-2) still have the equivalent inhibition effect on influenza virus compared with the original siRNA, the experimental results show that the truncated new siRNA sequences (siRNA short-1 and siRNA short-2) still have the equivalent inhibition effect on influenza virus compared with the original specific siRNA, the times of the detection inhibition of the growth of the siRNA short-1 after 24h and 48h of virus infection are about 190 times and 510 times respectively, the times of the inhibition of the siRNA short-2 after 24h and 48h of virus infection are about 140 times and 480 times, and the truncated new siRNA sequences (siRNA short-3 and siRNA short-4) have no inhibition effect on influenza virus. That is, if the inhibitory effect on influenza virus is maintained, two bases at most can be removed from the 5' -end. Next, 3 'ends of siRNA were truncated 1bp at a time from siRNA short-2 (the shortest length to maintain inhibition from 5' end). The novel siRNA with 1bp truncated from the 3' end and the control Scrambled siRNA are transfected into A549 cells, after 36h, viruses are infected, western Blot experiments are carried out on cells which are lysed after the viruses are infected by 2 h, 4h, 6h and 8h, and simultaneously, the cell supernatants of 24h and 48h of the viruses are sucked for plaque titration experiments. Experimental results show that siRNA short-2 (siRNA with 2bp truncated from 5 'end) has no inhibition effect on influenza virus after 1bp truncated from 3' end. In conclusion, the shortest length of the specific siRNA for inhibiting the influenza virus is siRNA short-2, namely after 2bp is removed from the 5' end.
Key bases of specific siRNA for inhibiting influenza virus: in order to determine the important base of the specific siRNA playing an inhibitory effect on influenza virus, a single base substitution method is adopted, the length of the non-inhibitory effect on influenza virus obtained in the last step is siRNA short-3, single base complementary substitution is sequentially carried out from the 5' end, the replaced new siRNA sequence and the control Scrambled siRNA are transfected into A549 cells, the amount of transfection in each group is 30pmol, the transfection is repeated three times in each group, after 36 hours, WSN viruses are infected with MOI=0.01, and cell supernatants after the infected viruses 24h and 48h are sucked for virus plaque titration experiments. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, the number of spots in the plaque titration experiment after single complementary substitution was performed on the 1 st (specific siRNA mutation-1-sense), 4 th (specific siRNA mutation-4-sense), 8 th (specific siRNA mutation-8-sense), 9 th (specific siRNA mutation-9-sense), 10 th (specific siRNA mutation-10-sense), 11 th (specific siRNA mutation-11-sense), 12 th (specific siRNA mutation-12-sense), 13 th (specific siRNA mutation-13-sense), 14 th (specific siRNA mutation-14-sense), 15 th (specific siRNA mutation-15-sense), and 16 th (specific siRNA mutation-16-sense) site bases were approximately the same as the number of siRNAshort-3 siRNAs, but different from the original number. However, after single complementary substitutions of site bases 2 (specific siRNA mutation-2-sense), 3 (specific siRNA mutation-3-sense), 5 (specific siRNA mutation-5-sense), 6 (specific siRNA mutation-6-sense), 7 (specific siRNA mutation-7-sense), the number of spots in the plaque titration experiment is still about the same as the number of original siRNAs. Experimental results show that the 2 nd, 3 rd, 5 th, 6 th and 7 th sites of siRNAshort-3 are mutated to restore the inhibition effect on influenza virus, and the inhibition effect is basically the same as that of the original specific siRNA (specific siRNA-sense and specific siRNA-anti in table 3). In summary, the 2 nd, 3 rd, 5 th, 6 th or 7 th site base of the gene sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.9 is mutated to obtain a sense strand mutant, the sequence of the antisense strand is complementary with the sense strand according to the gene complementary principle, and the shortest sequence of the specific siRNA (the gene sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 9) which has the effect of inhibiting the influenza virus is siRNA short-2 (the siRNA sequence of which the 5' -end is truncated by 2 bp); the siRNA sequence of the length after the 2 nd, 3 rd, 5 th, 6 th and 7 th positions of siRNA short-3 (the siRNA sequence after 3bp shortening of the 5' end of the specific siRNA) is replaced, and the inhibition effect of the siRNA of the original length, namely the specific siRNA-sense, on influenza viruses is restored.
