Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nuclear acid construct useful for treating or preventing a disease caused by infection with an immunodeficiency virus.
- HIV Human immunodeficiency virus
- T cells a cell that express CD4 molecules, such as T cells, and destroys the cells.
- CD4 + T cells helper T cells
- cellular immunity decrease in the human body infected with HIV.
- the patient becomes severely immunocompromised and develops an opportunistic infection such as potash-pneumonia. This condition is called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)!
- AIDS acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
- antiviral agents reverse transcriptase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, etc.
- vaccines that block the HIV life cycle
- several antiviral agents are available.
- RNA decoys and ribozymes such as nucleic acids, transdominant mutant proteins, and proteins such as intracellular antibodies
- Patent Document 1 U.S. Patent No. 583 7510
- ribonuclease As a product exhibiting the above-mentioned cytotoxicity, but cell death of HIV-infected cells by ribonuclease has not been confirmed. Also, Human spleen-derived ribonuclease (RNasel), which is a typical ribonuclease, is known to be inhibited by a ribonuclease 'inhibitor present in the cytoplasm (Non-Patent Document 4) and cannot be said to be suitable for the above purpose.
- RNasel Human spleen-derived ribonuclease
- prokaryotic plasmids have been reported to have post-segregation killing (PSK) functions that kill the host from which the plasmid was dropped in order to maintain the plasmid in the host.
- PSK post-segregation killing
- These plasmids contain the toxin antitoxin gene.
- Antitoxin binds with toxins in the cell and inactivates the toxin Antitoxin is easily degraded by proteases, and when the toxin is degraded by proteases, stable toxins are activated.
- Such toxin antitoxin genes are also present in most prokaryotic chromosomes, respond to various stresses, and play a role in program cell death.

- the present invention has been made in view of the above prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a more effective method for treating HIV infection.
- the present inventors connected a gene encoding a polypeptide having a single-stranded RNA-specific endoribonuclease activity downstream of a transcriptional regulatory sequence induced by a human immunodeficiency virus trans-acting factor.
- a polypeptide having endoribonuclease activity specific to single-stranded RNA is induced by HIV infection, and the mRNA in the cell is degraded. It was found that HIV replication and infection of other cells could be prevented, and the present invention was completed.
- [1] A transcriptional regulatory sequence whose transcription is induced by a human immunodeficiency virus trans-acting factor, and a single-stranded RNA-specific end ribonuclease activity arranged in a form in which expression can be controlled by the sequence.
- a nucleic acid containing a gene encoding a polypeptide [2] a nucleic acid of [1] containing a transcriptional regulatory sequence whose transcription is induced by Tat protein and Z or Rev protein,
- a method for producing a cell capable of suppressing replication of a human immunodeficiency virus comprising introducing any of the nucleic acids into a cell,
- a method for treating or preventing human immunodeficiency virus infection which comprises introducing any of the nucleic acids into cells,
- the present invention provides a nucleic acid construct capable of suppressing the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in cells.
- the nucleic acid construct is useful for the treatment of HIV infection.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the amount of HIV-derived protein in the culture supernatant of HIV-infected cells.
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing the amount of HIV-derived protein in the culture supernatant of HIV-infected cells.
- FIG. 3 is a graph showing changes in the number of viable cells over time in the culture of HIV-infected cells.
- the nucleic acid construct of the present invention comprises a transcription regulatory sequence whose transcription is induced by a human immunodeficiency virus trans-acting factor, and a single-stranded RNA-specific sequence arranged in a form in which expression can be controlled by the sequence. And a gene encoding a polypeptide having a novel endoribonuclease activity.
- transcriptional regulatory sequences whose transcription is induced by human immunodeficiency virus trans-acting factors there are no particular limitations on transcriptional regulatory sequences whose transcription is induced by human immunodeficiency virus trans-acting factors.
- transcriptional regulatory sequences whose transcription is induced by the Tat protein of HIV can be used.
- Tat protein binds to a TAR (trans-activation responsive element) sequence present in RNA whose transcription has been initiated by the action of the HIV LTR promoter and activates transcription downstream of the TAR protein.
- a transcriptional regulatory sequence having a TAR region base sequence downstream of the transcription start site can be used.
- the HIV LTR or a transcriptional regulatory sequence obtained by appropriately modifying the LTR is used.
- Examples of the modification include deletion of a binding site with a host cell-derived transcription factor present in the promoter and deletion of a region unnecessary for Tat-specific transcription.
- the former modification can reduce the level of transcription unrelated to HIV infection by host-derived transcription factors.
- Such modifications of transcriptional regulatory sequences are described in Non-Patent Document 2, for example.
- Examples of the latter modification include deletion of the U5 region of LTR and the region downstream of the TAR sequence (part of R region and U5 region).
- the nucleic acid of the present invention having such a deleted LTR is advantageous in preparing a high-titer retrovirus vector that retains the nucleic acid.
- RRE Rev-responsible element
- Rev protein which is a trans-acting factor derived from HIV (Non-patented Reference 3).
- INS a region called INS, present in the gag and pol genes, suppresses transcription of HIV mRNA in the absence of Rev protein, but this inhibitory action is due to the interaction with RRE and Rev protein.

- Table 2 shows the fluorescence intensity values of the transfected cells by flow cytometer analysis. As shown in Table 2, it was shown that the expression of ZsGreen was suppressed in cells into which pMazF-IZ had been introduced! This is probably because mRNA was degraded by the action of expressed MazF and translation of ZsGreen was suppressed. On the other hand, 28s and 18s ribosomes by electrophoretic analysis Table 3 shows the proportions of RNA.
- pMT-MazE by inserting the MazE gene having the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 24 into the BamHI-Xhol site of the pMT vector [Gene Therapy, 11: 94-99 (2004)] Built.

- Retronectin manufactured by Takara Bio Inc.
- 0.5 ml of the Tat-expressing retroviral vector prepared in Example 8 was transferred to the well and placed at 32 ° C, retroviral vector can be It was made to adsorb
- 293-MazE-MazF and 293-MazF cell lines were prepared to 1 ⁇ 10 5 Zml and infected with lml per tool. As a control, 293 cells were also infected. Two days after the infection, cell growth was observed by microscopic observation.
- the present invention provides a nucleic acid construct effective for the treatment and prevention of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Cells into which the nucleic acid construct has been introduced can inhibit HIV replication, and thus are effective in treating and preventing HIV infection.
- HIV human immunodeficiency virus
