Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of cardiovascular diseases.
- the present invention relates to the identification of new allelic variants in the sequence of the factor VII gene to determine the predisposition to cardiovascular disease.
- Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein synthesized in the liver and is secreted in the blood as an inactive oxygen zi at a concentration of 0.5 ⁇ g / ml 2 (Fair Blood, 1983). After endothelial damage, tissue factor (TF) is exposed and binds to factor VII, activating the coagulation cascade. (Osterud. Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA, 1977; Bauer et al., Blood, 1990).
- the gene that encodes factor VII is located in 13q34-q.ter (Pfeiffer et al., 1982; Gilgen rantz et al, 1986), contains 9 exons and 8 introns of 12.8 Kb and encodes for a protein of 406 amino acids .
- the complete gene sequence for human factor VII was determined by O'Hara et al (O'Hara PJ et al., "Nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for human factor VII, a vitamin K-dependent protein participating in blood coagulation" ; Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA 84: 5158-5162 (1987)).
- the mRNA is polyadenylated in multiple positions and has efficient differential splicing.
- the mature protein has a molecular mass of approximately 50 KDa.
- the activated form of factor VII consists of a heavy chain and a light chain, both encoded by the same gene, and linked by a disulfide bridge between the cysteine 135 and cysteine 262 (Hagen et al., 1986). It contains two EGF domains (epidermal growth factor domain), a Gla domain ( ⁇ -carboxyglutamic acid domain) and a trypsin-like catalytic domain (Hagen et al., Nati Acad Sci USA, 1986).
- the heavy chain comprises the catalytic part of the molecule and the heavy chain contains the Gla domain involved in the Ca 2+ binding and the membrane binding, which are essential for the activity of factor VII.
- Variants of the heavy chain of factor VII involve direct interference in the process of activation or disruption of the catalytic mechanism, while most variants of light chains interrupt interactions with Ca + or membrane components resulting in non-molecule molecules. functional (Zheng et al., Blood Coagul Fibrinol, 1996).
- Hereditary factor VII deficiency is a rare disorder that shows an autosomal recessive inheritance with high penetrance and variable expressivity (kupfer et al., 1960; Triplet et al., 1985). It has an incidence of 1 per 500,000 in the population (ulf and Herr ann. Hum Mutation 15; 2000) and was recognized, for the first time, by Alexander et al., 1951. Some of the mutations in the gene of the factor VII, affecting all of the protein domains, although approximately 50% of these mutations affect the protease domain (Wulff and Hermann, Hum mutation, 2000), which indicates that loss of protease function is the main cause of deficiency in factor VII.
- the most common forms of disorder involve the presence of dysfunctional factor VII, which consists of low levels of antigen in the plasma and a prolongation of prothrombin time due to the defective activity of these molecules.
- dysfunctional factor VII consists of low levels of antigen in the plasma and a prolongation of prothrombin time due to the defective activity of these molecules.
- the absence of factor VII activity in plasma causes severe bleeding shortly after birth; in fact, there are studies in which mice deficient in FVII, by interrupting the factor VII gene, lethal hemorrhage occurred during the period of peri-parturition (Me Vey et al. Hum mutation et al, 2000).
- allelic variants have been associated with the different risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases, although the studies where this association has been described are contradictory and in no case conclusive (Girelli et al New Eng. J. Med, 2000; Iacoviello et al., N Eng. J. Med. 1998). In addition, they all suffer from design errors and lack of statistical power.
- the present invention relates to a nucleic acid molecule comprising a sequence of the gene coding for factor VII characterized by the fact that said molecule comprises at least one allelic variant, said allelic variable affecting the stability and / or functionality of said nucleic acid molecule, of the product obtained from the transcription of said nucleic acid molecule and / or of the product encoded by said nucleic acid molecule.
- nucleic acid molecule means a DNA sequence from the gene encoding protein factor VII.
- the length of said sequence is not an essential or limiting aspect of the present invention.
- allelic variant means a genetic variation in the DNA sequence encoding protein factor VII, which implies genetic variation, a pathology, loss or gain of stability and / or functionality.
- allelic variant can be a deletion, an insertion or a substitution.
- new allelic variants are provided that have been identified in the gene encoding protein factor VII.
- allelic variants affect not only the functionality of factor VII, but also the levels at which said protein is found. This is due to the fact that said variants can affect both the nucleic acid molecule (DNA), as well as the transcript of said molecule (RNA) as well as the protein.
- the allelic variant results in an increase in RNA stability, higher levels of factor VII protein will be obtained in plasma; if the allelic variant affects an exon (that is, a protein coding region) the functionality of factor VII will be affected; if the allelic variant is found in an intron (that is, in a non-coding region), the stability of the DNA and / or RNA can be affected, affecting the levels of FVII in the blood (increasing or decreasing those levels).
- said variant affecting stability and / or functionality means an allelic variant that results in an increase or decreased stability, either of DNA or RNA, and / or an increase or loss of FVII function.
- allelic variants identified in the present invention are located in the region of the promoter, intron 1, intron 2, exon 3, intron 3, intron 5, exon 6, intron 7, intron 8, exon
- Table 1 allelic variants identified in the present invention.
- allelic variants described in the table is based on the sequence numbering of the human factor VII coding gene published by O'Hara.
- the first column indicates the position in which the allelic variant was detected, taking as reference the numbering of the sequence published by O'Hara.
- the uppercase letters (in the second column) indicate the allelic variant in a given position.
- -3216 C / T means that in the -3216 position (which is in the promoter region) the normal allele is a C (cytosine) and the allelic variant is T (thymidine);
- 11293 Ins AA means that at position 11293 two adenine nucleotides are inserted;
- 11622 of the AG means that at position 11622 there is the deletion of two nucleotides, adenine and guanine.
- the inventors of the present invention have found that the identification of said allelic variants in a nucleic acid molecule are indicative that the patient may develop cardiovascular disease, due to the fact that said allelic variants may be functional ( identified in the exons of the nucleic acid molecule) affecting the total or partial function of the protein encoded by said molecule and, therefore, the coagulation process in which said protein is involved is affected.
- the protein (factor VII) encoded by a nucleic acid molecule in accordance with the present invention, may see its stability altered, its secretion from the cell to the plasma, the plasma half-life, etc.
- the nucleic acid molecule itself may also be altered by the presence of at least one of the allelic variants of Table 1, in terms of transcription rate, messenger RNA half-life, ribosome protein translation rate, etc.
- the present invention relates to proteins encoded by a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one allelic variant of Table 1, for use as a medicament.
- an FVII protein of greater stability can be obtained, remaining longer in plasma, and can be used to administer to patients with coagulation problems.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a method for the analysis of a nucleic acid molecule, characterized in that it comprises obtaining said molecule from a biological sample and determining at least one allelic variant of the Table. 1, said allelic variable affecting the stability and / or functionality of said nucleic acid molecule and / or the product encoded by it.
- the present invention relates to a device for the determination of a predisposition to a cardiovascular disease comprising at least one of the oligonucleotides identified in Table 3.
- a device for the determination of a predisposition to a cardiovascular disease comprising at least one of the oligonucleotides identified in Table 3.
- a specific treatment can be designed for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in patients who have not yet developed it but who present at least one allelic variant; a treatment that is specific to alleviate factor VII dysfunction can be designed; or the product encoded by said nucleic acid molecule can be used for the treatment of a disease associated with the coagulation cascade.
- the present invention provides new allelic variants identified in the gene encoding factor VII that affect the stability and / or functionality of said nucleic acid molecule and / or the product encoded by it.
- the detection of said allelic variables not only allows the detection of a predisposition to a cardiovascular disease (associated with thrombosis) but also the proteins that are encoded by the nucleic acid molecules comprising at least one of the Allelic variants of Table 1 can be used as a medication for the treatment of complications associated with thrombosis or coagulation.
- Example 1 Procedure for the identification of allelic variants of the present invention.
- the DNA was extracted from white blood cells (leukocytes) from unrelated people with plasma FVII levels much higher or lower than what one skilled in the art considers as normal levels in the population mean. Blood samples were collected from the anticubital vein and immediately anticoagulated with 1/10 volume of 0.129 M sodium citrate.
- Platelet depleted plasma was obtained by centrifugation at 2000 g for 20 min. and subsequently froze and stored at -40 ° C until analysis.
- the DNA was purified from the leukocyte nuclei by the procedure described by Miller et al. (Miller et al. Nuc ⁇ Ac Res 16 (3): 1215, 1988).
- the FVII gene was analyzed in different overlapping fragments that covered the entire gene sequence.
- the technique used for this analysis was the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Primers ("primers") used to amplify these fragments are shown in Table 2 and 3.
- Table 2 primers used to amplify the fragments obtained by PCR.
- the different FVII gene fragments were numbered consecutively according to the order of analysis.
- the primers were also numbered consecutively, taking into account that even numbers correspond to direct sequence primers and odd numbers to reverse sequence ones.
- Even numbers correspond to direct sequence primers and odd numbers to reverse sequence ones.
- a direct sequence and a reverse sequence primer are always needed (complementary to the DNA chain to be amplified).
- sequences of the primers used are included (sequences NO: NO: 36).
- each fragment was amplified using GeneAmp PCR System 9700 (PE Applied Biosystems).
- the PCR products were generated in 50 ⁇ l of reaction mixtures containing 200 ng genomic DNA, 0.5 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Biotaq DNA Polymerase. Bioline), and the primers indicated in Tables 2 and 3, at a concentration of 0.5 ⁇ M each, dNTPs at a concentration of 0.05 mM each, 1.5 mM MgCl 2 (1 M MgCl 2 for fragment 1), and 5% DMSO (non-DMSO in fragment 1 in buffer for PCR IX Bioline).
- the PCR program was started with 5 min at 94 ° C during the initial denaturation, followed by 30 cycles of amplification consisting of 1 min. at 94 ° C, 1 min. at hybridization temperature (57 ° C for fragments 1, 2, 7, 9 and 11, 59 ° C for fragments 3 and 8, and 61 ° C for fragment 10, from table 1) and 2 min. at 72 ° C. In the last cycle the extension time was increased to 10 min.
- the amplified fragments were electrophoresed on a 1% agarose gel for control.
- Said fluorescence marker may be any of those known to a person skilled in the art, such as commercially available BigDyes (Apply- Biosystems.
- This step is where DNA synthesis is interrupted by incorporating one of the ddNTPs.
- ddNTPs a large number of fragments of different sizes are obtained which are separated by continuous capillary electrophoresis.
- Each of these fragments incorporates a fluorescent ddNTP that corresponds to a determined base of the DNA chain.
- the color of each fragment is determined when the fluorochrome (fluorescent material of the ddNTPs) is excited by a laser, thus producing a signal that is received by a photomultiplier and transmitted to a computer.
- the analysis of the signals in the computer allows to establish the sequence of the fragment under study. This technique is performed using an automatic DNA sequencer (in our case an ABI-310 model of Apply Biosystems).
- PCR amplified fragments were purified, dNTPs and unincorporated oligonucleotides were removed, using the Quiagen ⁇ QIAquick PCR Purification Kit columns before being sequenced.
- the sequencing reaction was performed in a volume of 10 ⁇ l, containing 3 ⁇ l of the purified DNA fragment, 4 ⁇ l of DNA Sequencing Kit BigDye Terminator Cycle Sequencing Ready Reaction (Applied Biosystems), 5% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO vol / vol) and 0.32 ⁇ M of the oligonucleotide for sequencing (table 3).
