Description

Mouse cholesteryl ester synthetic enzyme-2 gene promoter
Invention field
The present invention relates to molecular biology and DNA recombinant technology field.More specifically, the present invention relates to the promotor of mouse cholesteryl ester synthetic enzyme-2, and their purposes.
Background technology
Mouse cholesteryl ester synthetic enzyme-2 gene promoter is the mouse acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase-2 promotor (hereinafter to be referred as mouse ACAT-2 gene promoter), its regulation and control mouse cholesteryl ester synthetic enzyme-2 expression of gene.
Cholesterol is biomembranous important component, also is the precursor of synthetic bile acid, steroid hormone and lipoprotein, and it has also participated in the signal conductive process recent findings, is indispensable in the Mammals vital process therefore.All will influence its normal vital process but the animal body inner cholesterol is too high or too low, even produce serious pathology.Atherosclerosis or gallbladdergallstonecholetithiasis are brought out in too high meeting; Cross lowly, then cause cerebral nerve underdevelopment, produce dementia, recent research shows that also hypercholesterolemia is the Hazard Factor of Alzheimer's disease.The cholesterol molecule is extremely hydrophobic, can not utilize it as the carbon source and the energy in the body, and therefore, organism inner cholesterol and ester class thereof must be among the strict balance.
Acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) (EC2.3.1.26) is is the endoplasmic reticulum albumen that substrate catalysis forms cholesteryl ester with lipid acid and cholesterol in the cell.ACAT is by changing cholesterol into cholesteryl ester, avoided the toxicity of too high free cholesterol pair cell.
People just propose the existence of ACAT enzyme and recognize its importance as far back as the fifties in last century, but up to 1993, have just at first been cloned the cDNA of people ACAT-1 by the TY Chang professor laboratory of U.S. Dartmouth medical college.On this basis, the ACAT-1 cDNA of other species is cloned in succession.The ACAT-2 cDNA of different genera has been cloned in 1998 three tame laboratories respectively, and they are people (Oelkers P, Behari A, CromleyD et al.1998, J.Biol.Chem., 273:26765-26771), ape (Anderson RA, JoyceC, Davis M, Reagan JW et al.1998, J.Biol.Chem., 273:26747-26754.) and mouse (Cases S, Novak S, Zheng Y et al.1998, J.Biol.Chem., 273:26755-26764).
Up to now, in Mammals, found the ACAT of two kinds of forms.ACAT-1 is distributed widely in the various histocytes, and mainly participate in intravital cholesterol metabolic balance: ACAT-2 then mainly expresses in the liver sausage cell, participates in the absorption of external source cholesterol and the assembling of lipoprotein.
The mouse ACAT-2 assignment of genes gene mapping is on the ten No. five karyomit(e), and is identical in the position on the ten No. two karyomit(e) with the people ACAT-2 assignment of genes gene mapping.Some higher fatty acid with the induction low-density lipoprotein, that the hypercholesterolemia absorption is relevant genes have been concentrated on this zone with vldl.525 amino acid of ACAT-2 cDNA coding of mouse have some height hydrophobic sequences, are indicating that ACAT-2 has a plurality of film districts of striding.
Recently, the ACAT-2 gene knockout of mouse success (ACAT-2 -/-).ACAT-2 -/-Mouse has completely lost the ACAT activity in liver and small intestine.This has further confirmed the vital role of ACAT-2 the mouse cholesterol absorption from genomic level.
Along with the raising of living standards of the people and the change of dietary structure, cardiovascular disorder and neural transformation disease more and more become the important killer who threatens people's life and health, and the research of massive epidemiology and molecular level has proved that these diseases and organism inner cholesterol level are closely related.Current paper is thought, the acat-2 of liver sausage cell specific expression participates in the absorption of external source cholesterol and the assembling of lipoprotein, directly influence cholesterol levels in the blood, and be the medicine of effect target protein with acat-2, can in control body's cholesterol level, not destroy intracellular cholesterol balance again, so the research of acat-2 more and more is subject to people's attention.
Have the ACAT of two kinds of forms in knowing human body after, the researchdevelopment of medicinal ACAT inhibitor is very fast.The special inhibitor of screening ACAT becomes the focus that some drugmakers are competitively studied.Screen at present the inhibitor of a large amount of ACAT by measuring method for activity in several external, the body of setting up, these inhibitor mechanisms of action are: 1, increase intracellular cholesterol outflow, cause in the endoplasmic reticulum the available cholesterol of ACAT to strip off; 2, some inhibitor is the analogue of cholesterol or mono-unsaturated fat acid, can compete and suppress combining of ACAT and its natural substrate; 3, the activity that directly suppresses ACAT in the arterial wall.But that present most inhibitor also belongs to is nonspecific (Cases S, Novak S, Zheng Y et al.1998, J.Biol.Chem., 273:26755-26764).And because the ACAT albumen of natural form does not also have the purifying success, it is also very difficult therefore to seek the special effective inhibitors of ACAT.Now, though many researchs about people ACAT inhibitor aspect are arranged, mouse ACAT-1 knocks out experimental study and shows, only optionally suppresses ACAT-1, can form hyperlipidaemia.Whether suppress ACAT-2 can be favourable, still unknown at present to treatment hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis.Because acat-2 is specifically expressing in the maincenter organ-liver of cholesterol metabolic and small intestine only, therefore makees model with mouse, research and development will make it have minimum toxic side effect in control organism inner cholesterol level at the medicine of acat-2; The many aspects of acat-2 expression regulation being carried out the research of molecular level explores significant.
Promotor plays a crucial role in the expression of gene regulation and control, yet, before the application, also do not obtain mouse cholesteryl ester synthetic enzyme-2 promotor and relevant regulating and controlling sequence.
Therefore, this area presses for cholesteryl ester synthetic enzyme-2 promoter sequence of exploitation mouse and relevant regulating and controlling sequence.
