Description

第三型RNA聚合酶驅動之第三類啟動子a third type of promoter driven by a third type of RNA polymerase

本發明係有關於分子生物學。The present invention is related to molecular biology.

在1998年,Fire首先提出雙鏈RNA介導的特異性基因沉默的機制(Fire et al.,Nature 391:806-811, 1998),在該文獻中指出在多種生物中,將外源或內源性的雙鏈RNA (double-stranded RNA,ds RNA)導入細胞,與dsRNA同源的mRNA則受到降解,因而其相應的基因受到抑制,這種轉錄後基因沉默(post-transcriptional gene silencing,PTGS)是一種在RNA層級的基因抑制,故稱為RNA干擾(RNA interference,RNAi)。In 1998, Fire first proposed a mechanism for double-stranded RNA-mediated specific gene silencing (Fire et al., Nature 391: 806-811, 1998), in which it was pointed out that in many organisms, exogenous or internal The double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is introduced into the cell, and the mRNA homologous to the dsRNA is degraded, so that the corresponding gene is inhibited. This post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) ) is a kind of gene suppression at the RNA level, so it is called RNA interference (RNAi).

現在RNAi被廣泛認為是遠古自然的細胞防禦機制,在昆蟲或植物,可用此來對抗由病原菌產生的雙股RNA中間產物或次產物。然而在哺乳類系統中,長度超過30個鹼基的雙股RNA會直接作用於細胞內的RNA結合蛋白,啟動第一型干擾素反應及活化非專一性的核醣核酸切酶(RNase),進而造成哺乳類細胞的凋亡。Tuschl的研究團隊進一步發現直接用化學合成有著3端突出的21個核苷酸的雙股siRNA(short interfering RNA),在多種哺乳類細胞株內能特別抑制內生性和外源性基因表現(Elbashir et al.,Nature 411:494-498, 2001)。藉由此發現,許多哺乳動物基因功能加速地被發現與瞭解。由於RNAi在生物過程中的重要性和廣泛研究,「科學」期刊(Science)宣稱「RNAi」為2002年的重大突破。RNAi is now widely considered to be an ancient natural cellular defense mechanism that can be used in insects or plants to combat double-stranded RNA intermediates or secondary products produced by pathogenic bacteria. However, in mammalian systems, double-stranded RNAs longer than 30 bases act directly on intracellular RNA-binding proteins, initiate type 1 interferon responses and activate non-specific RNases, resulting in Apoptosis of mammalian cells. Tuschl's team further found that the direct synthesis of 21-nucleotide double-stranded siRNA (short interfering RNA) with three-terminal prominence can specifically inhibit endogenous and exogenous gene expression in a variety of mammalian cell lines (Elbashir et Al., Nature 411: 494-498, 2001). It has been found that many mammalian gene functions are rapidly discovered and understood. Due to the importance and extensive research of RNAi in biological processes, the Science Journal declared "RNAi" a major breakthrough in 2002.

目前有幾種不同可在細胞體內驅動RNAi的方法,其中一種為使用直接合成的方法,但RNA寡聚核苷酸的成本高於DNA寡聚核苷酸的合成,且有DNA污染的問題;使用T7或其它噬菌體在體外製造轉錄的RNA寡聚核苷酸可有 效降低成本,但製備過程較繁複且仍無法解決DNA污染的問題。由於siRNA的長度在19-26個核酸之間,目前已知此類短RNA可由第三型RNA聚合酶先驅動合成一帶有髮夾狀的dsRNA(shRNA),而在哺乳類細胞中此類shRNA會被RNA酶III(Dicer)切割為siRNA,進一步達到基因抑制的作用。因此,找尋適當可驅動第三型RNA聚合酶之啟動子,將是在基因抑制的領域中最需解決的問題。There are several different methods for driving RNAi in cells, one of which is the method of direct synthesis, but the cost of RNA oligonucleotides is higher than that of DNA oligonucleotides, and there is a problem of DNA contamination; Production of transcribed RNA oligonucleotides in vitro using T7 or other phage may have The effect is reduced, but the preparation process is complicated and still cannot solve the problem of DNA contamination. Since siRNAs are between 19-26 nucleic acids in length, it is known that such short RNAs can be driven by a type III RNA polymerase to synthesize a hairpin-like dsRNA (shRNA), whereas in mammalian cells, such shRNAs It is cleaved by RNase III (Dicer) into siRNA to further achieve gene suppression. Therefore, finding a promoter that appropriately drives the third-type RNA polymerase will be the most problem to be solved in the field of gene suppression.

本發明係為發現三個第三型RNA聚合酶之第三類啟動子,該新穎之啟動子與根據特定基因設計之shRNA序列,可進一步轉殖入一載體,藉由一般分子生物學方法可作為一種抑制特定基因的方法,亦可得到一具有特定基因抑制的轉殖動物。The present invention is to find a third type of promoter of three type III RNA polymerases, and the novel promoter and the shRNA sequence designed according to a specific gene can be further transferred into a vector by a general molecular biological method.

本發明的一種態樣為一啟動子(promoter),其中該啟動子係為驅動第三型RNA聚合酶之第三類啟動子,其包含一核苷酸序列,其中該核苷酸序列係選自由SEQ ID NO:1、SEQ ID NO:3與SEQ ID NO:5所組成的群組。其序列為:A aspect of the invention is a promoter, wherein the promoter is a third type of promoter driving a third type RNA polymerase, comprising a nucleotide sequence, wherein the nucleotide sequence is selected Free group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 5. Its sequence is:

SEQ ID NO:1 (pY1):SEQ ID NO: 1 (pY1):

SEQ ID NO:3 (pY3):SEQ ID NO: 3 (pY3):

SEQ ID NO:5 (pU6):SEQ ID NO: 5 (pU6):

術語「啟動子」指的是在遺傳學中,是一段能使基因進行轉錄的去氧核糖核酸(DNA)序列。啟動子可以被RNA聚合酶辨認,並開始轉錄。通常轉錄起始點會由+1開始編號,由於啟動子一般都是在基因的上游,所以其編號為+1逆數的負數,例如-100就是距離起始點位置100的上游鹼基對。真核生物的啟動子非常多樣化且很難有一明確的特徵,但仍會有些共同保留的區域。例如,大多數的真核生物啟動子,但不是全部,都包含一個TATA盒(序列TATAAA)會與TATA結合蛋白結合,以協助形成RNA聚合酶轉錄複合物。The term "promoter" refers to a sequence of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that, in genetics, enables transcription of a gene. The promoter can be recognized by RNA polymerase and transcription begins. Usually the transcription start point will be numbered starting from +1. Since the promoter is generally upstream of the gene, its number is a negative number of +1 inverse number, for example -100 is the upstream base pair from the starting point position 100. Eukaryotic promoters are very diverse and difficult to have a clear feature, but there are still areas that are shared together. For example, most eukaryotic promoters, but not all, contain a TATA box (sequence TATAAA) that binds to TATA binding proteins to aid in the formation of RNA polymerase transcription complexes.

RNA聚合酶是一種負責從DNA模版上製造RNA的酶,此過程稱為轉錄。RNA聚合酶是一種非常重要的酶,存在於所有生物的細胞及多種病毒中。在真核生物中,RNA聚合酶可分為三種:第一型RNA聚合酶合成核醣體RNA(rRNA),第二型RNA聚合酶合成信使RNA(mRNA),而第三型RNA聚合酶合成轉運RNA(tRNA)、rRNA5s以及其它可在細胞內找到的短RNA。RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for the production of RNA from DNA templates. This process is called transcription. RNA polymerase is a very important enzyme found in all living organisms and in many viruses. In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase can be divided into three types: first-type RNA polymerase synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA), second-type RNA polymerase synthesizes messenger RNA (mRNA), and type III RNA polymerase synthesizes transporter. RNA (tRNA), rRNA5s and other short RNAs that can be found in cells.

有關驅動第三型RNA聚合酶之啟動子可分為三類,第一類與第二類的啟動子包含一個CREs區域(cis-regulatory elements)位於轉錄起始位置的下游,但所有第三類啟動子的CREs區域則位於轉錄起始位置的上游(Murphy, S. et al.,Mol Cell Biol 12: 3247-61, 1992)。目前已知典型的第三類啟動子係包含一DSE序列(Distant Sequence Element)位於轉錄起始位置之上游約-245至-210之鹼基位置,其包含一個Oct-1的結合區位,以及一個SPH區位,一PSE序列(Proximal Sequence Element)位於轉錄起始位置之上游約-65至-48之鹼基位置,以及一TATA盒。Promoters for driving type III RNA polymerase can be divided into three categories. The first and second types of promoters contain a CREs region (cis-regulatory elements) located downstream of the transcription start position, but all third classes. The CREs region of the promoter is located upstream of the transcription start position (Murphy, S. et al., Mol Cell Biol 12: 3247-61, 1992). A typical third-type promoter sequence is currently known to contain a DSE sequence (Distant Sequence Element) located approximately -245 to -210 base positions upstream of the transcription start position, which contains an Oct-1 binding site, and a The SPH position, a PSE sequence (Proximal Sequence Element) is located approximately -65 to -48 bases upstream of the transcription start position, and a TATA box.

Among them, among the above promoter sequences, there are several regions with high retention, such as PSE ( STSAC CGTGW STGTR AARTG ), Oct (Octamer) ( ATTTG CAT, or CTGCAAAT ), and SPH (SphI postoctamer homology) (Zamord, Z.

實施例3:啟動子活性能力分析Example 3: Analysis of promoter activity

為了分析啟動子活性能力,本實驗為同時將shRNA表現載體與攜帶有冷光酶的載體送入一活體細胞中,藉由冷光的表現量來作為shRNA載體抑制冷光基因表現的指標。當冷光表現量越低,則表示基因抑制作用越強,且亦表示該啟動子的活性能力越強。In order to analyze the activity of the promoter, this experiment is to simultaneously deliver the shRNA expression vector and the vector carrying the luminescent enzyme into a living cell, and use the expression amount of luminescence as an index for suppressing the expression of the cold light gene by the shRNA vector. The lower the amount of cold light expression, the stronger the gene inhibition effect, and the stronger the activity of the promoter.

首先設計用於抑制冷光酶基因的shRNA。本實驗針對冷光酶設計了一段21個鹼基的的短序列,其序列為AAGAT CCGCG AGATT CTCAT T (SEQ ID NO:31),並將其命名為Luc2#3。接著進一步設計包含XhoI限制酶切位的正向序列(SEQ ID NO:29)與包含BglII限制酶切位的反向序列(SEQ ID NO:30),如表2所示。將此兩段結合後,分別送入ppY1-MGS, ppY3-MGS, ppU6-MGS與pp7SK-MGS的shRNA表現載體中,觀察各啟動子產生shRNA的效率。First, shRNAs designed to inhibit the luciferase gene were designed. In this experiment, a 21-base short sequence was designed for the luminescent enzyme, and its sequence was AAGAT CCGCG AGATT CTCAT T (SEQ ID NO: 31), which was named Luc2#3. Next, a forward sequence comprising the XhoI restriction enzyme cleavage site (SEQ ID NO: 29) and a reverse sequence comprising the BglII restriction enzyme cleavage site (SEQ ID NO: 30) were further designed as shown in Table 2. After combining the two segments, they were fed into the shRNA expression vectors of ppY1-MGS, ppY3-MGS, ppU6-MGS and pp7SK-MGS, respectively, and the efficiency of shRNA production by each promoter was observed.

1μg帶有冷光酶的載體pGL4.13 (Promega Corporation, USA)與1.5μg帶有抑制冷光酶基因的shRNA的shRNA表現載體或控 制組載體(不含Luc2#3之shRNA),先以100μl 0.15M的氯化鈉溶液稀釋,加入8ul ExGen500後(Fermentas International Inc., Canada),同時感染並送入豬胚腎上皮細胞株LLC-PK1與人胚腎上皮細胞株HK293中。送入細胞48小時後,細胞以500μl Glo Lysis Buffer (Promega Corporation, USA)分解,50μl Bright-Glo(Promega Corporation, USA)的試劑加入50μl的細胞分解物於96井微盤中,以GloMax luminescence (Promega Corporation, USA)系統測量冷光酶的活性。1 μg of the vector pGL4.13 (Promega Corporation, USA) with luciferase and 1.5 μg of shRNA expression vector with shRNA that inhibits the luciferase gene The preparation vector (shRNA containing no Luc2#3) was first diluted with 100 μl of 0.15 M sodium chloride solution, added with 8 ul of ExGen500 (Fermentas International Inc., Canada), and simultaneously infected and fed into porcine embryonic kidney epithelial cell line LLC. -PK1 and human embryonic kidney epithelial cell line HK293. After 48 hours into the cells, the cells were decomposed with 500 μl of Glo Lysis Buffer (Promega Corporation, USA), and 50 μl of Bright-Glo (Promega Corporation, USA) reagent was added to 50 μl of cell decomposing material in a 96-well microplate to GloMax luminescence ( The Promega Corporation, USA) system measures the activity of luminescent enzymes.

如圖4的結果所示,當加入1.5μg帶有抑制冷光酶基因的shRNA的shRNA表現載體,除了pp7SK-MGS無明顯抑制的效果外,ppY1-MGS-Luc2#3, ppY3-MGS-Luc2#3,與ppU6-MGS-Luc2#3對於冷光活性分別有約88%、82%與94%的抑制。從豬胚腎上皮細胞株的結果來看,ppU6-MGS-Luc2#3的效果最好。而如圖5所示,在人胚腎上皮細胞株中,以ppU6-MGS-Luc2#3該shRNA表現載體進行如以上步驟相同的實驗時,亦可看到相同之抑制效果。As shown in the results of Fig. 4, when 1.5 μg of the shRNA expression vector carrying the shRNA which inhibits the luminescent enzyme gene was added, ppY1-MGS-Luc2#3, ppY3-MGS-Luc2#, except that pp7SK-MGS had no significant inhibitory effect. 3, and ppU6-MGS-Luc2#3 have about 88%, 82%, and 94% inhibition for luminescent activity, respectively. From the results of the porcine embryonic kidney epithelial cell line, ppU6-MGS-Luc2#3 was the best. As shown in Fig. 5, in the human embryonic kidney epithelial cell line, the same inhibitory effect was observed when the same experiment was carried out as the shRNA expression vector of ppU6-MGS-Luc2#3.

因此從圖4與圖5的結果可得知,本發明所請pY1,pY3與pU6之啟動子皆有抑制基因表現之活性,且不論人類或豬之細胞皆能維持其活性。Therefore, as can be seen from the results of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the promoters of pY1, pY3 and pU6 of the present invention all have the activity of inhibiting gene expression, and the cells of human or pig can maintain their activity.
