Description
本発明は、異所性骨化、とりわけ、進行性骨化性線維異形成症(以下、「FOP」とも言う)の予防及び/又は治療活性を有する物質のスクリーニング方法に関する。本発明はまた、異所性骨化の予防及び/又は治療剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for screening a substance having a prophylactic and / or therapeutic activity for ectopic ossification, especially progressive ossifying fibrodysplasia (hereinafter also referred to as “FOP”). The present invention also relates to an agent for preventing and / or treating ectopic ossification.
異所性骨化は、本来骨形成が起きない組織において骨形成が認められる病態であり、後縦靭帯骨化症、黄色靭帯骨化症(黄色靭帯肥厚症)、進行性骨化性線維異形成症(FOP)、外傷性骨化性筋炎などにおいて、その症状が見られる。 Ectopic ossification is a condition in which osteogenesis is observed in tissues where bone formation does not originally occur. Posterior longitudinal ligament ossification, yellow ligament ossification (yellow ligament hyperplasia), progressive ossifying fibrosis The symptoms are seen in plaque (FOP), traumatic ossifying myositis and the like.
FOPは、親指の先天性奇形や進行性異所性骨化により特徴づけられる結合組織に発生する希少遺伝子疾患である(非特許文献1)。FOPにおける異所性骨化は、軟骨経路を介して幼児期に始まり、外傷が起因となる場合や突発的に起こる場合がある。FOPは、中軸骨格及び付属肢骨格における主関節の関節外硬直又は胸郭の融合を生じ、重篤な障害や致命的な呼吸器不全を生じる。 FOP is a rare genetic disease that occurs in connective tissue characterized by congenital malformation of the thumb and progressive ectopic ossification (Non-Patent Document 1). Ectopic ossification in FOP begins in early childhood via the cartilage pathway and may be traumatic or sporadic. FOP causes extraarticular stiffness or thorax fusion of the main joints in the medial and appendicular skeletons, resulting in severe disability and fatal respiratory failure.
FOPの責任遺伝子は、骨形成タンパク質(BMP)についてのI型受容体の一つをコードするACVR1(また、ALK2として知られている)であると考えられており、ACVR1のグリシン−セリンリッチ(GS)活性化ドメインにおいて突然変異(617G>A(R206H))が確認されている(非特許文献2)。変異ACVR1を様々な細胞株で過剰発現させる実験が多くの研究者によって行われており、R206H変異がACVR1を活性型に変換させ、その結果としてリガンドを必要としないBMPシグナル伝達の活性化や、リガンドへの過敏性をもたらしていることが見出されている。BMPは、骨形成や軟骨形成に関連するタンパク質として認識されていることから、変異ACVR1がFOPの異所性骨形成の原因となっていることを支持している。しかし変異ACVR1の過剰発現系を用いたこれらの重要な知見にもかかわらず、例えば、COS-7及びMC3T3-E1細胞株では変異ACVR1(R206H)の導入によりSMAD1/5/8の誘導が確認されているが、C2C12細胞株ではこのようなことは見られていないなど、いくつかの矛盾が残っている(非特許文献3、4及び5)。そこで、FOP患者の細胞を用いた研究が必要となるが、入手できる細胞は限られているうえに、細胞老化などにより症状の再現性を得ることが難しい(非特許文献6)。 The gene responsible for FOP is thought to be ACVR1 (also known as ALK2), which encodes one of the type I receptors for bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), and the glycine-serine-rich ( A mutation (617G> A (R206H)) has been confirmed in the GS) activation domain (Non-Patent Document 2). Experiments overexpressing the mutant ACVR1 in various cell lines have been performed by many researchers, and the R206H mutation converts ACVR1 to an active form, thereby activating BMP signaling that does not require a ligand, It has been found that it results in hypersensitivity to the ligand. BMP is recognized as a protein involved in bone formation and cartilage formation, thus supporting that mutant ACVR1 is responsible for the ectopic bone formation of FOP. However, despite these important findings using the mutant ACVR1 overexpression system, for example, induction of SMAD1 / 5/8 was confirmed by introduction of the mutant ACVR1 (R206H) in COS-7 and MC3T3-E1 cell lines. However, some inconsistencies remain, such as the fact that such a phenomenon has not been observed in the C2C12 cell line (Non-Patent Documents 3, 4, and 5). Therefore, research using cells of FOP patients is required, but available cells are limited, and it is difficult to obtain reproducibility of symptoms due to cell aging and the like (Non-Patent Document 6).
最近、本発明者らは、FOP患者から人工多能性幹細胞(iPS細胞)を作製することに成功し、さらに、該FOP患者由来iPS細胞(FOP-iPSC)において、石灰化の増大や軟骨過形成特性等、FOPの病態の一部が再現されることを見出した(非特許文献7)。しかし、iPS細胞クローン間や実験間でかなりの差異が見られるため、詳細な解析のためには、複数のFOP-iPSC株やコントロールiPSCを比較する必要があった。また、このようなクローン間や実験間でのばらつきが、異所性骨化(とりわけ、FOP)のメカニズムの解明を困難なものとし、それ故、有効な治療薬の開発が進まない状況であった。 Recently, the present inventors have succeeded in producing an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell) from a FOP patient, and furthermore, in the FOP patient-derived iPS cell (FOP-iPSC), increased calcification and cartilage hyperplasia It has been found that some of the pathological conditions of FOP, such as formation characteristics, are reproduced (Non-Patent Document 7). However, there are considerable differences between iPS cell clones and between experiments, so it was necessary to compare multiple FOP-iPSC strains and control iPSCs for detailed analysis. In addition, such variability between clones and between experiments makes it difficult to elucidate the mechanism of ectopic ossification (particularly, FOP), and therefore, the development of effective therapeutic agents has not progressed. Was.
本発明の課題は、異所性骨化、とりわけ、FOPの予防及び/又は治療活性を有する物質(以下、「予防・治療薬」ともいう)の高確度なスクリーニング方法を提供することである。また、本発明の別の課題は、該スクリーニング法により得られる物質を含有する、異所性骨化の予防及び/又は治療剤を提供することである。 An object of the present invention is to provide a highly accurate screening method for a substance having a preventive and / or therapeutic activity for ectopic ossification, especially FOP (hereinafter, also referred to as “prophylactic / therapeutic agent”). Another object of the present invention is to provide a preventive and / or therapeutic agent for ectopic ossification, which contains a substance obtained by the screening method.
本発明者らは上記の課題を解決すべく鋭意検討を行った結果、進行性骨化性線維異形成症患者由来のiPS細胞(FOP-iPSC)において、遺伝子修復技術を適用することにより、遺伝的バックグラウンドは同一で突然変異のみ修復されたiPS細胞(resFOP-iPSC)を作製することに成功した。続いて、FOP-iPSCを、神経堤細胞及び間葉系間質細胞を介して軟骨細胞に分化誘導させたところ、FOP-iPSCに特有の軟骨細胞の分化促進という病態を再現することに成功した。すなわち、FOP患者の体細胞由来のiPS細胞は、軟骨誘導した際に、resFOP-iPSCと比較して、軟骨組織が過剰に形成される傾向を見出した。また、軟骨組織の過剰形成の生じる原因について検討したところ、軟骨前駆細胞の増殖が亢進することが原因ではなく、軟骨細胞から細胞外マトリックスが過剰に産生されることが軟骨組織の過剰形成の原因であることを見出した。さらに、FOPに代表される異所性骨化の機序を見出すべく、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSC由来の種々の細胞につき遺伝子発現プロファイルを比較したところ、いくつかのシグナル伝達経路に分類される遺伝子群について両者間で違いが観察された。これらのシグナル阻害剤のうちPAI1阻害剤及びMMP1阻害剤をFOP-iPSC由来の神経堤細胞へ適用すると軟骨組織の過剰形成が抑制されることから、当該阻害剤が、異所性骨化、とりわけFOPの異所性骨化の予防・治療薬として有用であることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, by applying gene repair technology to iPS cells (FOP-iPSC) derived from patients with progressive ossifying fibrodysplasia, The iPS cells (resFOP-iPSC) with the same background and only the mutation repaired were successfully produced. Subsequently, when FOP-iPSCs were induced to differentiate into chondrocytes via neural crest cells and mesenchymal stromal cells, they succeeded in reproducing the pathological condition of FOP-iPSCs that promotes chondrocyte differentiation, which is unique to FOP-iPSCs. . That is, it was found that iPS cells derived from somatic cells of FOP patients tended to form cartilage tissue excessively when cartilage was induced, as compared to resFOP-iPSC. In addition, when the cause of the hyperplasia of cartilage tissue was examined, it was not due to the increased proliferation of cartilage progenitor cells, but the excessive production of extracellular matrix from chondrocytes was the cause of cartilage tissue hyperplasia. Was found. Furthermore, in order to find out the mechanism of ectopic ossification represented by FOP, when comparing gene expression profiles of various cells derived from FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSC, they are classified into several signal transduction pathways Differences were observed between the two in the gene group. When PAI1 inhibitor and MMP1 inhibitor among these signal inhibitors are applied to neural crest cells derived from FOP-iPSC, cartilage tissue hyperplasia is suppressed, so the inhibitor is ectopic ossification, especially The present inventors have found that FOP is useful as a prophylactic / therapeutic agent for ectopic ossification, and completed the present invention.

本発明を以下の実施例でさらに具体的に説明するが、本発明の範囲はそれら実施例に限定されないものとする。 The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.
実施例1 BACを用いた相同組換えによるresFOP-iPSCクローンの樹立
FOP-iPSC(第7エクソンに617G>A(R206H)変異を有する)と同様の遺伝子バックグラウンドを有する信頼性の高いコントロールiPSCを作製するために、BACを用いた相同組換え技術を用いた。以前に記載されたとおり、BAC組換え法を行うため(Ikeya M., Int. J. Dev. Biol. 49: 807 - 823, 2005)、BACを用いてターゲティングベクターの構築を行った。簡潔には、ヒトBAC clone CTD-20251l1をlife technologies (Carlsbad, CA, USA)から購入した。次いで、floxed pgk-neoカセットを第6イントロンに挿入し、5' 領域を5 KBまで短くすることにより、ターゲティングベクターを構築した。得られたターゲティングベクターは、図1aで示されたとおり、5 KBの5'-短腕及び120 Kbの3'-長腕を含む構築体である。 Example 1 Establishment of resFOP-iPSC clone by homologous recombination using BAC
The homologous recombination technique using BAC was used to prepare a highly reliable control iPSC having the same gene background as FOP-iPSC (having a 617G> A (R206H) mutation in exon 7). As previously described, targeting vectors were constructed using BAC to perform the BAC recombination method (Ikeya M., Int. J. Dev. Biol. 49: 807-823, 2005). Briefly, human BAC clone CTD-2025111 was purchased from life technologies (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Next, a targeting vector was constructed by inserting the floxed pgk-neo cassette into the sixth intron and shortening the 5 'region to 5 KB. The resulting targeting vector is a construct containing a 5 KB 5'-short arm and 120 Kb 3'-long arm, as shown in FIG. 1a.
続いて、Maeらの方法(Mae S, et al., Nat Commun. 4:1367, 2013)を改変した方法でエレクトロポレーションによりターゲティングベクターを導入し、2種類のresFOP-iPSCクローンを樹立した。簡潔には、ACVR1ターゲティングベクターをFspA1制限酵素により直線化し、エタノール沈殿により滅菌した。FOP-iPSC (vFOP4-1株; Matsumoto Y., et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 8(1):190, 2013) をトリプシン処理し、遠心分離を行った後、PBSで再懸濁した。再懸濁したFOP-iPSCに全30 mgの直線化DNAを加えて、室温で、single 250 V, 500 mF pulse (Gene pulser CE, Bio-Rad) の電気刺激を細胞に与えた。次いで、FOP-iPSCを、ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632, 10 μM) を加えた培地中で、mitomycin-Cで処理したSNLフィーダー層上に播種した。エレクトロポレーションの2日後に、G418 (75 μg/ml)を添加して組換え体を選択した。得られたコロニーからゲノムDNAを抽出し、そのゲノムDNAの塩基配列を決定することにより、遺伝子修復クローンを一次スクリーニングにかけた。次いで、5’long PCR産物(図1a下)により、相同組換えが生じていることを確認し(図1c)、cDNAの塩基配列を直接決定することにより、遺伝子修復が成功していることを確認した(図1b)。pgk-neoカセットに対するゲノムqPCRにより、単一コピーの挿入を確認した(図1d)。 Subsequently, a targeting vector was introduced by electroporation by a method modified from the method of Mae et al. (Mae S, et al., Nat Commun. 4: 1367, 2013), and two types of resFOP-iPSC clones were established. Briefly, the ACVR1 targeting vector was linearized with the FspA1 restriction enzyme and sterilized by ethanol precipitation. FOP-iPSC (vFOP4-1 strain; Matsumoto Y., et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 8 (1): 190, 2013) was trypsinized, centrifuged, and resuspended in PBS. A total of 30 mg of linearized DNA was added to the resuspended FOP-iPSC, and the cells were subjected to electrical stimulation at room temperature with a single 250 V, 500 mF pulse (Gene pulser CE, Bio-Rad). Next, FOP-iPSC was seeded on a SNL feeder layer treated with mitomycin-C in a medium supplemented with ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632, 10 μM). Two days after electroporation, G418 (75 μg / ml) was added to select recombinants. Genomic DNA was extracted from the obtained colonies, and the gene repair clone was subjected to primary screening by determining the nucleotide sequence of the genomic DNA. Next, it was confirmed that homologous recombination had occurred using the 5'long PCR product (FIG. 1a, bottom) (FIG. 1c), and the base sequence of the cDNA was directly determined to confirm that the gene repair was successful. Confirmed (FIG. 1b). Genomic qPCR against the pgk-neo cassette confirmed insertion of a single copy (FIG. 1d).
以上より、2株の遺伝子修復された(rescue) FOP-iPSCクローンの樹立に成功した(resFOP-iPSC (cl1)及びresFOP-iPSC (cl2))。また、このとき、2株の非ターゲティングG418耐性クローンを得た。これらの非ターゲティングクローンは、軟骨細胞への分化能において、親のFOP-iPSCと同じ表現型を示すことが確認された。以後、非ターゲティングG418耐性クローンのうちの1つをFOP-iPSCクローンとして用いた。
resFOP-iPSC (cl1)、resFOP-iPSC (cl2)及びFOP-iPSCは、多能性マーカー遺伝子の発現、テラトーマ形成能、核型及び形態(図1e)を測定し、多能性に差異がないことを確認した。また、テラトーマにおける軟骨領域にresFOP-iPSC及びFOP-iPSCで違いがないことを確認した。As described above, two gene-repaired (rescue) FOP-iPSC clones were successfully established (resFOP-iPSC (cl1) and resFOP-iPSC (cl2)). At this time, two non-targeting G418-resistant clones were obtained. It was confirmed that these non-targeting clones exhibited the same phenotype as the parent FOP-iPSCs in the ability to differentiate into chondrocytes. Thereafter, one of the non-targeting G418 resistant clones was used as a FOP-iPSC clone.
resFOP-iPSC (cl1), resFOP-iPSC (cl2) and FOP-iPSC measure pluripotency marker gene expression, teratoma-forming ability, karyotype and morphology (FIG. 1e) and show no difference in pluripotency It was confirmed. In addition, it was confirmed that there was no difference between resFOP-iPSC and FOP-iPSC in the cartilage region in the teratoma.

続いて、iNCCから間葉系間質細胞(MSC)への分化誘導は、次の方法で行った。上述の誘導後の細胞から抗p75抗体(BD, Cat No.560326)を用いてFACSによりp75陽性細胞を抽出し、2×105/wellでFibronectinコーティングした12-wellプレートに播種し、10 μM Y-27632及び10 μM SB431542を添加したCDM中で1日間培養した後、培地を10 μM SB431542、20 ng/ml FGF2及び20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (EGF)(R&D)を添加したCDMへ交換し維持培養を9日間行った。維持培養後、MSC培地(5 ng/ml FGF2、10% fetal bovine serum (FBS)(Nichirei Inc.)及び0.5% penicillin and streptomycin (Invitrogen) を添加したminimum essential medium alpha modification (αMEM; Invitrogen Co.))へ交換し2日間培養した。さらに、トリプシンで細胞を分離した後、3×105/wellで6-wellプレート(Costar社、#3516)に播種し、MSC培地中で、11日間継代培養した(以下、iMSCと言う)。Subsequently, induction of differentiation from iNCC to mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) was performed by the following method. From the cells after the above-mentioned induction, p75-positive cells were extracted by FACS using an anti-p75 antibody (BD, Cat No. 560326), and seeded at 2 × 10 5 / well on a Fibronectin-coated 12-well plate, and 10 μM After culturing for 1 day in CDM supplemented with Y-27632 and 10 μM SB431542, the medium was changed to CDM supplemented with 10 μM SB431542, 20 ng / ml FGF2 and 20 ng / ml epidermal growth factor (EGF) (R & D). Maintenance culture was performed for 9 days.

Further, after separating the cells with trypsin, the cells were seeded at 3 × 10 5 / well on a 6-well plate (Costar, # 3516) and subcultured in MSC medium for 11 days (hereinafter referred to as iMSC). .
実施例3 FOP-iPSCのiNCC/iMSC分化能についての解析
FOP-iPSCにおいて、ACVR1(R206H)の過剰発現が軟骨誘導を促進することが以前に報告されている(Matsumoto Y., et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 8(1):190 (2013))。そこで、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSCからそれぞれiNCC(induced Neural Crest Cell)及びiMSC(induced Mesenchmal Stromal Cell)を誘導し、両者の軟骨細胞分化特性を比較した。iNCCの誘導開始の7日目に、FACSを用いて、抗p75抗体により細胞を選別した後、iNCCの形態を観察した。その結果、FOP-iNCC及びresFOP-iNCCにおいて形態的な差異は見られなかった(図2a)。さらに、得られたiNCCにおけるNCCマーカー(TFAP2A、SOX10及びPAX3)、ならびにp75 (NGFR)の発現状態を、RT-PCRにより解析した。RT-PCRは、RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA)を用いて、各iNCCから全RNAをそれぞれ精製し、DNase-one kit (Qiagen)で処理してゲノムDNAを除去した。製造者の指示に従って、ランダムオリゴ及びSuperscript III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) を用いて、1 μgの全RNAを一本鎖cDNAに逆転写した。ExTaq (Takara, Shiga, Japan)によりPCRを行った。Thunderbird SYBR qPCR Mix (TOYOBO, Osaka, Japan)を用いて定量的PCRを行い、StepOne real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Forester City, CA)を用いて解析を行った。その結果、NCCマーカー(TFAP2A、SOX10及びPAX3)、ならびにp75 (NGFR)のすべての遺伝子について、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSC((cl1)及び(cl2))に由来するiNCCで、同様のレベルで特異的に発現していた(図2b)。 Example 3 Analysis of iOPC / iMSC differentiation ability of FOP-iPSC
It has previously been reported that overexpression of ACVR1 (R206H) promotes cartilage induction in FOP-iPSCs (Matsumoto Y., et al. Orphanet J Rare Dis. 8 (1): 190 (2013)). Therefore, iNCC (induced Neural Crest Cell) and iMSC (induced Mesenchmal Stromal Cell) were induced from FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSC, respectively, and the chondrocyte differentiation characteristics of both were compared. On the 7th day after the start of iNCC induction, cells were sorted by FACS using an anti-p75 antibody, and the morphology of the iNCC was observed. As a result, no morphological difference was observed between FOP-iNCC and resFOP-iNCC (FIG. 2a). Furthermore, the expression status of NCC markers (TFAP2A, SOX10 and PAX3) and p75 (NGFR) in the obtained iNCC was analyzed by RT-PCR. In RT-PCR, total RNA was purified from each iNCC using an RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) and treated with a DNase-one kit (Qiagen) to remove genomic DNA. 1 μg of total RNA was reverse transcribed into single-stranded cDNA using random oligos and Superscript III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. PCR was performed using ExTaq (Takara, Shiga, Japan). Quantitative PCR was performed using Thunderbird SYBR qPCR Mix (TOYOBO, Osaka, Japan), and analysis was performed using a StepOne real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Forester City, CA). As a result, for the NCC markers (TFAP2A, SOX10 and PAX3), and for all genes of p75 (NGFR), iNCCs derived from FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSC ((cl1) and (cl2)) were at similar levels. It was specifically expressed (FIG. 2b).
iMSC誘導開始の3継代目には、ヒト初代培養MSCと同様の形態の細胞が出現し、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSCにおいて形態に違いは見られなかった(図2c)。iMSC誘導開始の7日目に、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSC((cl1)及び(cl2))に由来するiMSCで、MSCの細胞表面マーカー(CD73、CD44及びCD105)、ならびにCD45を指標としてFACS解析を行った。FACS解析は、製造者のプロトコールに従って、AriaII (BD)を用いて行った。FACSで使用された抗体は、表1に記載した。 At the third passage after the start of iMSC induction, cells having the same morphology as primary human cultured MSCs appeared, and no difference was observed in morphology between FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSC (FIG. 2c). On the 7th day after the start of iMSC induction, iMSCs derived from FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSCs ((cl1) and (cl2)) were analyzed using cell surface markers of MSCs (CD73, CD44 and CD105) and CD45 as indicators. Analysis was performed. FACS analysis was performed using AriaII (BD) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The antibodies used in FACS are described in Table 1.
その結果、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSC((cl1)及び(cl2))に由来するiMSCにおいて、MSCの細胞表面マーカーであるCD73、CD44及びCD105の発現は見られたが、CD45は陰性であった(図2d)。この結果、FOP-iPSC及びresFOP-iPSC((cl1)及び(cl2))のいずれのiPS細胞からでも、MSCへ分化誘導できたことが確認された。 As a result, in iMSCs derived from FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSCs ((cl1) and (cl2)), expression of MS73 cell surface markers CD73, CD44 and CD105 was observed, but CD45 was negative. (FIG. 2d). As a result, it was confirmed that differentiation could be induced into MSC from any of the FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSC ((cl1) and (cl2)) iPS cells.
実施例4 FOP-iMSCの軟骨細胞分化能についての解析
FOP-iMSC及びresFOP-iMSCを2Dマイクロマス培養系により軟骨細胞へ分化させて、解析を行った。2Dマイクロマス培養系は、Umedaらの記載に従って次のとおり行われた(Umeda, K. et al. Scientific Reports 2 (2012))。誘導したMSC (1.5 x105 cells) を5 μlの軟骨培地(40 ng/ml PDGF-BB (R&D)及び1% FBS (Nichirei)を添加した無血清軟骨形成培地(DMEM: F12 (1:1) (Invitrogen), 1% (v/v) ITS+ mix (BD), 0.17 mM AA2P, 0.35 mM Proline (Sigma), 0.1 μM dexamethasone (Sigma), 0.15% (v/v) glucose (Sigma), 1 mM Na-pyruvate (Invitrogen), 2 mM GlutaMax, 0.05 mM MTG))に懸濁させ、fibronectin-coated 24-well plate (BD)上にスポットした。1時間後に軟骨培地を加えて1 mlとした。3日目から10日目に、10 ng/ml TGFβ3 (R&D system)を培地に加えて培養を行った。マイクロマス培養は、5% CO2、37℃で10日間行った。軟骨誘導は、Alcian Blue染色、グリコサミノグリカン(GAG)量、DNA量によって評価した。Alcian Blue染色は、簡潔には、誘導した細胞を10% formalin (Sigma)で30分間固定し、PBSで洗浄した後、Alcian Blue溶液 (3% 氷酢酸及び1% HCl, pH 1の1% Alcian Blue (MUTO PURE CHEMICAL CO., LTD) )で一晩染色し、酢酸溶液で脱染した。GAG量の測定は、BLYSCAN Dye及びDissociation reagents (BIOCOLOR, Belfast, UK)を用いて、ペレット中のGAG量を定量化することにより行った。一方で、DNA量の測定は、PicoGreen dsDNA Quantitation kit (Invitrogen)を用いて行った。 Example 4 Analysis of chondrocyte differentiation ability of FOP-iMSC
FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC were differentiated into chondrocytes by a 2D micromass culture system and analyzed. The 2D micromass culture system was performed as described by Umeda et al. (Umeda, K. et al. Scientific Reports 2 (2012)). The induced MSCs (1.5 × 10 5 cells) were added to 5 μl of cartilage medium (40 ng / ml PDGF-BB (R & D) and 1% FBS (Nichirei) in serum-free chondrogenic medium (DMEM: F12 (1: 1)). (Invitrogen), 1% (v / v) ITS + mix (BD), 0.17 mM AA2P, 0.35 mM Proline (Sigma), 0.1 μM dexamethasone (Sigma), 0.15% (v / v) glucose (Sigma), 1 mM Na -pyruvate (Invitrogen), 2 mM GlutaMax, 0.05 mM MTG)) and spotted on a fibronectin-coated 24-well plate (BD). One hour later, a cartilage medium was added to 1 ml. From day 3 to day 10, 10 ng / ml TGFβ3 (R & D system) was added to the medium and cultured. Micromass culture was performed at 5% CO 2 at 37 ° C. for 10 days. Cartilage induction was evaluated by Alcian Blue staining, glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content, and DNA content. Briefly, Alcian Blue staining was performed by fixing the induced cells with 10% formalin (Sigma) for 30 minutes, washing with PBS, and then using an Alcian Blue solution (3% glacial acetic acid and 1% HCl, 1% Alcian pH 1). Blue (MUTO PURE CHEMICAL CO., LTD)) overnight, and destained with an acetic acid solution. The measurement of the GAG amount was performed by quantifying the GAG amount in the pellet using BLYSCAN Dye and Dissociation reagents (BIOCOLOR, Belfast, UK). On the other hand, the measurement of the DNA amount was performed using PicoGreen dsDNA Quantitation kit (Invitrogen).
その結果、10日間分化誘導されたマイクロマスのサイズは、resFOP-iMSCよりもFOP-iMSCにおいて増加していた(図3a及びb)。また、GAG値は、resFOP-iMSCよりもFOP-iMSCにおいて高かったが(図3c)、DNA量は、両者において有意な差が見られなかった(図3d)。以上より、FOP-iMSCを軟骨細胞へ誘導すると、細胞外マトリックスを過剰に産生することが示された。 As a result, the size of the micromass induced to differentiate for 10 days was larger in FOP-iMSC than in resFOP-iMSC (FIGS. 3a and 3b). In addition, the GAG value was higher in FOP-iMSC than in resFOP-iMSC (FIG. 3c), but no significant difference was observed in the amount of DNA between them (FIG. 3d). From the above, it was shown that when FOP-iMSC was induced into chondrocytes, extracellular matrix was excessively produced.
続いて、10日間軟骨細胞へ分化誘導させたFOP-iMSC及びresFOP-iMSCの各軟骨細胞分化マーカーの発現をRT-PCRにより解析した。その結果、いずれの軟骨細胞分化マーカー(SOX9、COL2A1及びACAN)も、resFOP-iMSC由来の軟骨細胞と比較して、FOP-iMSC由来の軟骨細胞においてより高発現していることが観察された(図3e)。 Subsequently, the expression of each chondrocyte differentiation marker of FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC induced to differentiate into chondrocytes for 10 days was analyzed by RT-PCR. As a result, it was observed that all the chondrocyte differentiation markers (SOX9, COL2A1 and ACAN) were more highly expressed in FOP-iMSC-derived chondrocytes as compared to resFOP-iMSC-derived chondrocytes ( Figure 3e).
上記の結果をまとめると、ACVR1の変異は、細胞増殖ではなく、軟骨細胞への分化促進や軟骨細胞成熟化の促進に寄与することが示唆された。 Summarizing the above results, it was suggested that ACVR1 mutation contributes not to cell proliferation but to promotion of chondrocyte differentiation and chondrocyte maturation.
実施例5 FOP-iPSCの遺伝子発現プロファイルについての解析
実施例4において、FOP-iMSCとresFOP-iMSCとの間で軟骨細胞への異なる分化能が示されたことから、軟骨細胞への分化誘導工程の各段階における遺伝子発現プロファイルを比較するためにマイクロアレイ解析を行った。マイクロアレイ解析は、次のとおり行った。RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen)を用いて、全RNAを調製し、次いで、GeneChip WT (Whole Transcript) Sense Target Labeling and Control Reagents kitを用いて、製造者 (Affymetrix)により記載されたとおり、cDNAを合成した。その後、製造者(Affymetrix)のプロトコールに従って、GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST expression arraysへのハイブリダイゼーション、洗浄及びスキャニングを行った。データの解析は、GeneSpring GX 11.5.1 (Agilent Technologies)を用いて、散布図、階層的クラスタリングにより行った。階層的クラスタリングのために、similarity measureやaverage linkage clusteringについてChebyshev correlationを用いた。その結果、FOP-iPSCとresFOP-iPSCとの間における遺伝子発現プロファイルは、類似が階層クラスタリング(図4a)及びPrimary Component Analysis(PCA)(図4b)及び散布図(図4c)より確認された。また、FOP-iNCCとresFOP-iNCCとの間においても遺伝子発現プロファイルは類似していたが(図4a、b及びd)、FOP-iMSCとresFOP-iMSCとの間における遺伝子発現プロファイルは、階層的クラスタリングとPCAでは違いが見られなかったが(図4a及びb)、散布図において、明らかに異なる遺伝子発現状態を示す遺伝子群が存在していた(図4e)。MMP1及びPAI1についてはFOP-iMSCにおいて上昇する遺伝子として図中に示した。また、FOP-iMSCにおいて2倍以上発現が上昇する191個の遺伝子と2倍以上発現が減少する110個の遺伝子を確認し、これらの遺伝子のうち上位20個を図4fに示した。以上より、iPS細胞、NCC及びMSCの段階において、FOP細胞とresFOP細胞ではほぼ同一であることが確認されたが、MSCの段階ではいくつかの遺伝子発現が異なることが見出された。 Example 5 Analysis of Gene Expression Profile of FOP-iPSC In Example 4, different differentiation ability to chondrocytes was shown between FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC. Microarray analysis was performed to compare gene expression profiles at each stage. Microarray analysis was performed as follows. Total RNA was prepared using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen), and then cDNA was synthesized using the GeneChip WT (Whole Transcript) Sense Target Labeling and Control Reagents kit as described by the manufacturer (Affymetrix). . Thereafter, hybridization, washing and scanning to GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST expression arrays were performed according to the protocol of the manufacturer (Affymetrix). Data analysis was performed by scatter plot and hierarchical clustering using GeneSpring GX 11.5.1 (Agilent Technologies). For hierarchical clustering, Chebyshev correlation was used for similarity measure and average linkage clustering. As a result, as for the gene expression profiles between FOP-iPSC and resFOP-iPSC, similarity was confirmed by hierarchical clustering (FIG. 4a), Primary Component Analysis (PCA) (FIG. 4b), and scatter diagram (FIG. 4c). Although the gene expression profiles were similar between FOP-iNCC and resFOP-iNCC (FIGS. 4a, b and d), the gene expression profiles between FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC were hierarchical. Although no difference was observed between clustering and PCA (FIGS. 4a and b), there was a group of genes showing distinctly different gene expression states in the scatter diagram (FIG. 4e). MMP1 and PAI1 are shown in the figure as genes elevated in FOP-iMSC. In addition, 191 genes whose expression increased more than 2-fold and 110 genes whose expression decreased more than 2-fold in FOP-iMSC were confirmed, and the top 20 of these genes were shown in FIG. 4f. From the above, it was confirmed that FOP cells and resFOP cells were almost the same at the stage of iPS cells, NCC and MSC, but it was found that some gene expression was different at the stage of MSC.
実施例6 iMSCにおけるSMAD1/5/8、SMAD2/3及びERK1/2経路の基礎的な活性状態の解析
BMPシグナルは、BMPで活性化されるSMAD1/5/8遺伝子のSMAD binding element (SBE)へ転写因子が結合することによるカノニカル経路とAP-1 binding siteへ転写因子が結合することによるノンカノニカル経路によって伝達される。そこで、FOP-iMSCにおいて遺伝子の発現が、BMPシグナル伝達によって引き起こされるかを確認するため、発現上昇する遺伝子の調節領域にSBE及びAP-1 binding siteがあるか調べたところ、ほとんどの遺伝子において、1つ又はそれ以上のSBE及びAP-1 binding siteがあることが確認された。一方、一部の遺伝子にはTGFβで活性化されるSMAD2/3のSBEが含まれることも確認された。さらに、SMAD1/5/8、ERK1/2、p38、JNK及びSMAD2/3のリン酸化状態をウエスタンブロッティングにより調べた。ウエスタンブロッティングは、標準的な手順により、FOP-iMSC及びresFOP-iMSCのそれぞれの全セルライセートを用いて、SDS-PAGE後ブロッティングを行った。AmerchamTMECLTMPrime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare, Tokyo, Japan) を用いてタンパク質バンドを検出し、Image LabTM softwareと共にBIO-RAD Molecular Imager(登録商標) Chemi-DocTM XRS+を用いて可視化した。その結果、SMAD1/5/8、SMAD2/3及びERK1/2のリン酸化状態が、resFOP-iMSCよりもFOP-iMSCにおいてより高いことが観察された(図5a及びb)。一方、p38及びJNKでは違いが見られなかった。 Example 6 Analysis of basic activation state of SMAD1 / 5/8, SMAD2 / 3 and ERK1 / 2 pathway in iMSC
The BMP signal is a canonical pathway by binding of transcription factor to SMAD binding element (SBE) of SMAD1 / 5/8 gene activated by BMP, and a non-canonical pathway by binding of transcription factor to AP-1 binding site. Conveyed by Therefore, the expression of the gene in FOP-iMSC, to confirm whether caused by BMP signaling, to examine whether the SBE and AP-1 binding site in the regulatory region of the up-regulated gene, in most genes, It was confirmed that there was one or more SBEs and AP-1 binding sites. On the other hand, it was also confirmed that some genes contain SAD of SMAD2 / 3 activated by TGFβ. Furthermore, the phosphorylation status of SMAD1 / 5/8, ERK1 / 2, p38, JNK and SMAD2 / 3 was examined by Western blotting. Western blotting was performed by SDS-PAGE and blotting using all the cell lysates of FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC by a standard procedure. Protein bands were detected using Amercham ™ ECL ™ Prime Western Blotting Detection Reagent (GE Healthcare, Tokyo, Japan) and visualized using BIO-RAD Molecular Imager® Chemi-Doc ™ XRS + with Image Lab ™ software. . As a result, it was observed that the phosphorylation status of SMAD1 / 5/8, SMAD2 / 3 and ERK1 / 2 was higher in FOP-iMSC than in resFOP-iMSC (FIGS. 5a and 5b). On the other hand, no difference was seen between p38 and JNK.
続いて、FOP-iMSCにおいてBMPシグナル及びTGFβシグナルが活性化していることを調べるために、BMP特異的ルシフェラーゼレポーターコンストラクト(BRE-luciferase)を用いたレポーターアッセイ、及びBMPの下流遺伝子であるID1の発現状態の解析を行った。レポーターアッセイは、FOP-iMSC及びresFOP-iMSCをそれぞれ溶解した後、製造者の指示に従って、dual luciferase reporter assay system (Promega)により解析を行った。その結果、ルシフェラーゼ活性及びID1発現のいずれも、resFOP-iMSCよりもFOP-iMSCにおいてより高いことが観察された(図5c及びd)。TGFβシグナルについては、TGFβ特異的ルシフェラーゼレポーターコンストラクト(CAGA-lusiferase)を用いたレポーターアッセイ、及びTGFβの下流遺伝子であるPAI1の発現状態の解析を行った。その結果、ルシフェラーゼ活性及びPAI1発現のいずれも、resFOP-iMSCよりもFOP-iMSCにおいてより高いことが観察された(図5e及びf)。一方、AP-1についても同様にルシフェラーゼアッセイを行ったが、両者で特に違いは見られなかった。また、培養上清におけるBMP4、BMP6、BMP7及びTGFβのELISAを行ったが、iPS細胞、NCC及びMSCのいずれの段階においても、FOPとresFOPとの間で違いは見られず、わずかに検知されたのみであった。以上の結果より、変異ACVR1(R206H)により、FOP-iMSCでは、BMP-SMAD1/5/8及びTGFβ-SMAD2/3経路を恒常的に活性化していることが示唆された。 Subsequently, a reporter assay using a BMP-specific luciferase reporter construct (BRE-luciferase), and expression of ID1, which is a downstream gene of BMP, to examine that the BMP signal and TGFβ signal are activated in FOP-iMSC The state was analyzed. In the reporter assay, after dissolving FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC, respectively, analysis was performed using a dual luciferase reporter assay system (Promega) according to the manufacturer's instructions. As a result, both luciferase activity and ID1 expression were observed to be higher in FOP-iMSC than in resFOP-iMSC (FIGS. 5c and d). As for the TGFβ signal, a reporter assay using a TGFβ-specific luciferase reporter construct (CAGA-lusiferase) and the expression state of PAI1, which is a downstream gene of TGFβ, were analyzed. As a result, it was observed that both luciferase activity and PAI1 expression were higher in FOP-iMSC than in resFOP-iMSC (FIGS. 5e and f). On the other hand, luciferase assay was similarly performed for AP-1, but no particular difference was found between the two. In addition, ELISA for BMP4, BMP6, BMP7 and TGFβ in the culture supernatant was performed, but no difference was observed between FOP and resFOP at any stage of iPS cells, NCC and MSC, and it was detected slightly. It was only. From the above results, it was suggested that the mutant ACVR1 (R206H) constantly activated the BMP-SMAD1 / 5/8 and TGFβ-SMAD2 / 3 pathways in FOP-iMSC.
実施例7 iMSCにおけるPAI1発現の制御経路についての解析
実施例6において、SMAD1/5/8、SMAD2/3及びERK1/2経路の活性化がFOP-iMSCで観察されたため、これらの経路がPAI1の発現を制御しているかを調べた。実施例3と同様の方法によりiMSCへ分化させた細胞(FOP-iMSC及びresFOP-iMSC)をDMH1 (SMAD1/5/8 inhibitor, 2 μM)、SB431542 (SMAD2/3 inhibitor, 10 μM)及びU0126 (MEK1/2 inhibitor, 1 μM)で処理し、24時間後にPAI1の発現をRT-PCRにより解析した。その結果、PAI1の発現は、DMH1又はSB431542で処理した場合に減少していた(図6a)。続いて、BMP4 (10 ng/ml)、BMP7 (100 ng/ml)及びTGFβ3 (10 ng/ml)で処理し、24時間後にPAI1の発現状態をRT-PCRにより解析したところ、PAI1の発現は、BMP4、BMP7又はTGFβ3で処理するとFOP-iMSC及びresFOP-iMSCのいずれでも増加していた(図6b)。これらの結果より、iMSCにおいて、PAI1の発現がBMP-SMAD1/5/8及びTGFβ-SMAD2/3の経路により正に制御されていることが示唆され、さらに、SMAD1/5/8及びSMAD2/3の経路がresFOP-iMSCよりもFOP-iMSCにおいて亢進している結果を支持している。 Example 7 Analysis of control pathway of PAI1 expression in iMSC In Example 6, activation of SMAD1 / 5/8, SMAD2 / 3 and ERK1 / 2 pathways was observed in FOP-iMSC. It was examined whether expression was regulated. Cells (FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC) differentiated into iMSCs in the same manner as in Example 3 were prepared using DMH1 (SMAD1 / 5/8 inhibitor, 2 μM), SB431542 (SMAD2 / 3 inhibitor, 10 μM) and U0126 ( (MEK1 / 2 inhibitor, 1 μM), and 24 hours later, the expression of PAI1 was analyzed by RT-PCR. As a result, the expression of PAI1 was reduced when treated with DMH1 or SB431542 (FIG. 6a). Subsequently, the cells were treated with BMP4 (10 ng / ml), BMP7 (100 ng / ml) and TGFβ3 (10 ng / ml), and after 24 hours, the expression state of PAI1 was analyzed by RT-PCR. , BMP4, BMP7 or TGFβ3 resulted in an increase in both FOP-iMSC and resFOP-iMSC (FIG. 6b). These results suggest that in iMSCs, PAI1 expression is positively regulated by BMP-SMAD1 / 5/8 and TGFβ-SMAD2 / 3 pathways, and furthermore, SMAD1 / 5/8 and SMAD2 / 3 Supports the result that the pathway is more enhanced in FOP-iMSC than in resFOP-iMSC.
実施例8 軟骨細胞分化におけるPAI1、MMP1、SMAD1/5/8及びSMAD2/3の機能についての解析
PAI1及びMMP1の発現がFOP-iMSCにおいてresFOP-iMSCよりも高かったことから(図4e)、 PAI1及びMMP1が、軟骨細胞分化において重要な役割を果たしているかを調べるため、NCCからMSCへの誘導の間(phase I)、MSCから軟骨細胞への誘導の間(phase II)及びNCCから軟骨細胞への誘導の間(phase I + II)の各段階において(図7a、8a及び9a)、PAI1、MMP1、SMAD1/5/8及びSMAD2/3のそれぞれの阻害剤(10 μM Tiplaxtinin(PAI1 inhibitor)(Axon Medchem)、10 nM GM6001(MMP1 inhibitor)(Calbiochem)、2 μM DMH1(SMAD1/5/8 inhibitor)及び10 μM SB431542(SMAD2/3 inhibitor))を添加した場合における、軟骨細胞の大きさ及びGAG値について調べた。NCCへの分化誘導は、実施例3、MSC及び軟骨細胞への分化誘導は、実施例3及び4と同様の方法により行った。その結果、DMH1及びSB431542をphase I、phase II又はphase I + IIの段階で添加した場合全てにおいて、Alcian Blue陽性領域の大きさ及びGAG値が陰性対照と比較して減少した(図8b、図8c、図9b及び図9c)。このことは、MSC誘導工程及び軟骨誘導工程において、SMAD1/5/8及びSMAD2/3シグナルの両方が軟骨誘導に関与していることを示唆している。一方、GM6001及びTiplaxtininでは、phase I及びphase I + IIの段階で添加した場合において、FOP-MSCにおける軟骨誘導を減少させた(図7bからg)。これらの結果より、MMP1及びPAI1は、FOP細胞がNCCからMSCに誘導される間において軟骨誘導能を亢進させることが示唆された。 Example 8 Analysis of functions of PAI1, MMP1, SMAD1 / 5/8 and SMAD2 / 3 in chondrocyte differentiation
Since the expression of PAI1 and MMP1 was higher in FOP-iMSCs than in resFOP-iMSCs (FIG. 4e), to determine whether PAI1 and MMP1 play an important role in chondrocyte differentiation, the induction of NCC to MSC induction During each phase (phase I), during induction of MSC to chondrocytes (phase II) and during induction of NCC to chondrocytes (phase I + II) (FIGS. 7a, 8a and 9a), PAI1, MMP1, SMAD1 / 5/8 and SMAD2 / 3 inhibitors (10 μM Tiplaxtinin (PAI1 inhibitor) (Axon Medchem), 10 nM GM6001 (MMP1 inhibitor) (Calbiochem), 2 μM DMH1 (SMAD1 / 5/8 inhibitor ) And 10 μM SB431542 (SMAD2 / 3 inhibitor)) were added to examine the size and GAG value of chondrocytes. Induction of differentiation into NCC was performed in the same manner as in Example 3, and differentiation induction into MSCs and chondrocytes was performed in the same manner as in Examples 3 and 4. As a result, in all cases where DMH1 and SB431542 were added at the stage of phase I, phase II or phase I + II, the size of the Alcian Blue positive region and the GAG value decreased as compared with the negative control (FIG. 8b, FIG. 8c, FIGS. 9b and 9c). This suggests that in the MSC induction step and the cartilage induction step, both SMAD1 / 5/8 and SMAD2 / 3 signals are involved in cartilage induction. On the other hand, GM6001 and Tiplaxtinin reduced cartilage induction in FOP-MSC when added at the phase I and phase I + II stages (FIGS. 7b to g). These results suggested that MMP1 and PAI1 enhance cartilage-inducing ability during the induction of FOP cells from NCC to MSC.
FOP患者における異所性骨化は、まず軟骨が形成され、その後骨に置き換わる、軟骨内骨化により引き起こされることから、軟骨形成を抑制する効果のある薬剤は、異所性骨化の治療に有用であると考えられる。さらに、FOPの異所性骨化においてMSCの誘導過程において軟骨形成能が決定されると考えられることから、PAI1阻害剤やMMP1阻害剤はMSCの誘導時に働きMSCの軟骨易分化性を抑制し、FOPの異所性骨化の治療に有効であると考えられる。 Ectopic ossification in FOP patients is caused by endochondral ossification, where cartilage is first formed and then replaced by bones. Deemed useful. Furthermore, since it is thought that cartilage-forming ability is determined during the induction of MSCs in the ectopic ossification of FOP, PAI1 inhibitors and MMP1 inhibitors work during the induction of MSCs and suppress the cartilage differentiation of MSCs. It is considered to be effective in treating ectopic ossification of FOP.
