Definitions
- CHRNA4 S2 & 4L
- the invention of this application relates to an epilepsy model animal having a genetic abnormality homologous to human autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy and spontaneously developing seizures during sleep.
- Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease characterized by recurrent seizures caused by excessive firing of brain cells. Excessive firing of brain cells is the result of a variety of etiologies, and the seizure progression and prognosis also vary widely with epilepsy types. Therefore, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are required for the treatment of epilepsy.
- Epilepsy model animals are used as a means of developing and developing methods for diagnosing and treating epilepsy. Conventionally, as epilepsy model animals, drug-induced epilepsy animals by administration of kainic acid (kainic acid) and kindling-induced epilepsy animals (a method of repeating electrical brain stimulation below the threshold) have been used.

- the invention of this application has been made in view of the problems of conventional epilepsy model animals as described above, and has a genetic abnormality homologous to human autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (expression of mutant CHRNA4) It is an object of the present invention to provide a new epileptic model animal that has the same physical symptoms (epileptic seizures during sleep) as human autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy.
- This application discloses, as an invention to solve the above-mentioned problem, a totipotency in which a polynucleotide encoding a non-human mutant CHRNA4 corresponding to a human mutant CHRNA4 in which Ser at position 284 of SEQ ID NO: 1 has been substituted with Leu has been introduced.
- a non-human animal or its progeny obtained by ontogenesis of cells, which has the polynucleotide in a somatic cell chromosome and spontaneously develops seizures during sleep.
- CHRNA4: S284L A non-human animal or its progeny obtained by ontogenesis of cells, which has the polynucleotide in a somatic cell chromosome and spontaneously develops seizures during sleep.
- the polynucleotide encoding the non-human mutant CHRNA4 is a fusion polynucleotide with a polynucleotide corresponding to the promoter region of a gene specifically expressed in the brain cortex / hippocampus.
- the non-human animal is a rat
- the polynucleotide encoding the rat mutant CHRNA4 is t at position 865 in SEQ ID NO: 2 and t at position 866 in SEQ ID NO: 2.
- polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence substituted with c.
- polynucleotide refers to a phosphate ester of a nucleoside in which a purine or pyrimidine is ⁇ - ⁇ -glycosidically linked to a sugar (nucleotide ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP; or dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP) refers to a molecule that has multiple bonds.
- non-human mutant CHRNA4 corresponding to human mutant CHRNA4 means that Ser of non-human CHRNA4 corresponding to Ser. No.
- FIG. 1 is an electroencephalogram during sleep of an epilepsy model animal of the present invention.

- the middle row is a record of spike wave clusters (15 seconds)
- the lower row is a transition of spike wave clusters to a very slow wave complex, and the frequency gradually decreases. 15 seconds).
- BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The epilepsy model animal (CHRNA4: S284L) of the present invention can be produced for any kind of non-human mammal. For example, it can be created for mice, rats, rabbits, cats, dogs, dogs, horses, magpies, etc.However, considering the versatility and convenience of experimental animals, The use of rats and the like is preferred.
- mutant CHRNA4 polynucleotide encoding non-human mutant CHRNA4 a mutant CHRNA4 polynucleotide corresponding to the target animal species is used.
- amino acid sequence of mouse CHRNA4 SEQ ID NO: 5
- cDNA polynucleotide sequence encoding it
- the “polynucleotide encoding mouse mutant CHRNA4” is obtained by substituting the Ser codon (tct) at position 960-962 in SEQ ID NO: 4 with the Leu codon (ctt, ctc, cta, ctg, tta or ttg).
- the amino acid sequence of rat CHRNA4 (SEQ ID NO: 3) and the polynucleotide (cDNA) sequence encoding it (SEQ ID NO: 2) are known (GenBank / NM-024354), and the 286th Ser of SEQ ID NO: 3 Corresponds to Ser. 284 of human CHRNA4.
- the “polynucleotide encoding rat mutant CHRNA4” is obtained by replacing the Ser codon (tct) at position 865-867 in SEQ ID NO: 2 with the Leu codon (ctt, etc ;, cta, ctg, tta or ttg).
- the nucleotide substitution can be performed by a method using a commercially available mutagenesis kit or a known method such as a mutagenesis type PCR method.
- the polynucleotide encoding the non-human mutant CHRNA4 is also preferably introduced as a fusion polynucleotide with a polynucleotide corresponding to the promoter region of a gene expressed specifically in the brain cortex / hippocampus.
- a promoter region for example, PDGF- ⁇ chain promoter region or the like can be used.
- the epilepsy model animal (CHRNA4: S284L) of the present invention can be prepared according to a known transgenic animal preparation method (for example, Proc. Natl. Acad. Scl. USA 77; 7380-7384, 1980).
- the above-mentioned polynucleotide (preferably a fusion polynucleotide) was introduced into a totipotent cell of a non-human animal, the cell was developed into an individual, and the introduced polynucleotide was integrated into the genome of a somatic cell.
- a transgenic animal of interest can be produced by selecting individuals. Fertilized eggs and early embryos can be used as the totipotent cells into which the polynucleotide is introduced. Considering the yield of transgenic animals and the efficiency of transgene transfer to the next generation, physical injection of DNA (microinjection) is the most suitable method for introducing genes into cultured cells.
- the fertilized egg into which the gene has been injected is then transplanted into the fetal oviduct of the foster parent, and the animals that have developed and born are placed in foster parents and bred, and then DNA is extracted from a part of the body (such as the tip of the tail). Confirm the presence of the introduced polynucleotide by analysis or PCR. If the individual (heterozygote) in which the presence of the introduced polynucleotide is confirmed is the first generation (Founder: F0), the transgene is transmitted to 50% of its offspring (F1). Further, by mating the male and female of this F1 individual, an individual (F2) having a transgene in both diploid chromosomes can be created.
- a knock-in method using a known target gene recombination method As a method for introducing a foreign gene into the chromosomal DNA of an individual animal, a knock-in method using a known target gene recombination method (Gene Yuichi targeting method: Science 244: 1288-1292, 1989) is used. It has been known. In this knock-in method, an endogenous gene present in the chromosomal DNA of an animal individual is completely replaced by an exogenous gene. Therefore, the transgenic animal produced by this knock-in method does not produce endogenous proteins, but produces only exogenous (mutant) proteins homologous to the endogenous proteins.
- the transgenic method used for producing an epilepsy model animal of the present invention encodes a mutated CHRNA4 at an arbitrary position on the chromosomal DNA while the endogenous gene (CHRNA4 gene) remains normal. Guide polynucleotide Enter. Therefore, in the epilepsy model animal of the present invention, both normal CHRNA4 and mutant CHRNA4 are produced.
- the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor is a protein that functions as an ion channel (two ⁇ -subunits and three ⁇ -subunits). Such an ion channel has a channel function if any of the subunits is mutated. change.
- the normal subunit and the mutant subunit may be expressed simultaneously, and the inventors of the present application express the normal subunit and the mutant subunit simultaneously rather than expressing the mutant subunit as in the knock-in method.
- the inventors of the present application have completed the invention based on the concept that this is suitable as a model animal exhibiting human epileptic seizures.
- the epilepsy model animal of the present invention (CHRNA4: S284L) has the excellent property of spontaneously developing epileptic seizures during sleep, similar to human chromosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, as described in Examples below. .
- Rat Chrna4 and Chrnb2 cDNAs were PCR amplified from rat fetal cDNA panels (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.) And subcloned into pCRTOPOII vectors (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). Nucleotide substitutions (SEQ ID NO: 865, C ⁇ T, 866, T ⁇ C; S286L) that cause a missense displacement homologous to human nocturnal frontal epilepsy are replaced with the QuickChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) ) was introduced into Chrna4 cDNA.
- Wild-type Chrana4 and Chrnb2 cDNA and mutant Chrna4 cDNA Corresponding cRNAs were generated by introduction into the pSP64 Poly (A) vector (Promega, Madison, Wl) and used for in vitro electrophysiological studies in Xenopus oocytes.
- the mutant Chrna4 cDNA was inserted into an expression vector having a human PDGF- ⁇ chain promoter of a pCI-neo vector (Promega).
- the integrity of the clone was confirmed by multiple sequencing using a series of sequencing primers.
- the vector containing the mutant Chrna4 cDNA was cleaved with SnaBI and NaeI, and a linear fragment containing the mutant cDNA and the PDGF- ⁇ promoter was purified. This fragment was injected into rat oocytes (SD) at Japan SLC, Inc. (Hamamatsu City) to create transgenic rats.
- Tissue cut from the transgenic rat was analyzed using a buffer [50 mM Tris (pH 8), 10 mM EDTA, 100 mM sodium chloride, 1% (w / v) SDS, and 50 mg / ml proteinase K (Sigma)].
- RNase A treatment 100 pg / ml, 37 ° C for 1 hour
- ammonium acetate added to a final concentration of 2 M, cool, and centrifuge to precipitate the protein.
- the DNA in the supernatant was precipitated with 0.6 vol of cold isopropanol and washed with 70% ethanol
- the DNA pellet was dissolved in water at step 4.
- the amount of DNA was evaluated by the absorbance at 260 nm.
- a portion (50 ng) of the DNA was amplified by PCR, and the PCR products were sequenced by an automatic sequencer (ABI 3100: Perkin Elmer Biosystems, Foster City, CA).
