- 1-2% of patients who develop acute hepatitis are at risk of developing fulminant hepatitis, and 70-80% of those who develop fulminant hepatitis die.
- the infected HBV is not excluded from the body and becomes a carrier when it settles in the liver for more than 6 months.
- 80 to 90% of carriers go through an asymptomatic period, a transient hepatitis stage, and a hepatitis sedation stage, and then continue as an asymptomatic carrier.

上記のように調製したゲノムDNA又はmRNAにおけるHLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルの検出は、当技術分野で公知のいかなる遺伝子多型検出手段を用いて検出することができる。例えば、直接配列決定法、ポリメラーゼ連鎖反応(PCR)、制限酵素断片長多型(RFLP)、ハイブリダイゼーション法、プライマー伸長反応、質量分光法等を用いる方法があげられるが、これらに限定されない。ただし、HLA-DRB1遺伝子では、特に第2エクソン内に多型部位が多数あるため、これらのアリルを検出するために、多数の多型を判別する必要がある。以下に当該方法について説明する。
(2-2-1)直接配列決定法
本発明では、ゲノムDNA又はmRNA由来のcDNAを用いた直接配列決定法によりHLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルを検出することができる。直接配列決定法は、上記で調製したゲノムDNA又はmRNAからcDNAを調製し;検出対象であるHLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルを含む領域を、ベクターにクローニングするか又はPCRで増幅し;当該領域の塩基配列を決定する;ことにより行う。クローニングの方法としては、適切なプローブを用いてcDNAライブラリーからスクリーニングすることにより、クローニングすることができる。また、適切なプライマーを用いてPCR反応により増幅し、適切なベクターに連結することによりクローニングすることができる。さらに、別のベクターにサブクローニングすることもできるが、これらに限定されない。ベクターとしては、例えば、pBlue-Script(商標)SK(+)(Stratagene)、pGEM-T(Promega)、pAmp(TM: Gibco-BRL)、p-Direct(Clontech)、pCR2.1-TOPO(Invitrogene)等の市販のプラスミドベクター、ウイルスベクター、人口染色体ベクターやコスミドベクターを用いることができる。塩基配列の決定としては、公知のいかなる方法をも用いることができ、例えば、放射性マーカーヌクレオチドを使用する手動式配列決定法や、ダイターミネーターを使用する自動配列決定法があげられるが、これらに限定されない。このようにして得られた塩基配列に基づき、検体がHLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルアリルに相当する配列を有するか否かを決定する。
(2-2-2)PCR法
本発明に係るアリルは、PCR法を利用して検出することもできる。PCRは、本発明に係るアリルを有する配列又は他のアリルを有する配列にのみハイブリダイズするオリゴヌクレオチドプライマーを用いて行う。このプライマーセットを使用して検体のゲノムDNA又はmRNA由来のcDNAを増幅する。本発明に係るアリル用プライマーのみがPCR産物を生成した場合には、検体は本発明に係るアリルをホモで有し、本発明に係るアリル用プライマーと他のアリル用プライマーからのPCR産物が生成された場合には、検体は本発明に係るアリルをヘテロで有することになる。他のアリル用プライマーのみがPCR産物を生成した場合には、検体には本発明に係るアリルがないことが示される。
(2-2-3)PCR-RFLP法
本発明に係るアリルは、制限酵素断片長多型(Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism;RFLP)を利用して検出することもできる。まず、検出対象の本発明に係るアリルを含む領域をPCRで増幅する。続いてこのPCR産物を、本発明に係るアリルに適する制限酵素で切断する。制限酵素により消化されたPCR産物は、ゲル電気泳動で分離し、エチジウムブロマイド染色で可視化する。当該断片長を、分子量マーカー並びに他のアリル及び本発明に係るアリルの対照により生じた断片長と比較して、検体における本発明に係るアリルの存在を検出することができる。
(2-2-4)ハイブリダイゼーション法
本発明に係るアリルは、ハイブリダイゼーションを利用して検出することもできる。ハイブリダイゼーション法は、検体由来のゲノムDNA又はmRNAが、それに対し相補的なDNA分子(例えばオリゴヌクレオチドプローブ)とハイブリダイズする性質に基づき、本発明に係るアリルの有無を決定する方法である。コロニーハイブリダイゼーション、プラークハイブリダイゼーション、サザンブロット等の公知のハイブリダイゼーション等のハイブリダイゼーション及び検出のための種々の技術を利用してこのハイブリダイゼーション法を行うことができる。ハイブリダイゼーション法の詳細な手順については、『Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual 3rd ed.』(Cold Spring Harbor Press (2001);特にSection 6-7)、『Current Protocols in Molecular Biology』(John Wiley & Sons (1987-1997);特にSection6.3-6.4)、『DNA Cloning 1: Core Techniques, A Practical Approach 2nd ed.』(Oxford University(1995);ハイブリダイゼーション条件については特にSection2.10)等を参照することができる。さらに、ハイブリダイゼーションはDNAチップを利用して検出することもできる。当該方法としては、本発明に係るアリルに特異的なオリゴヌクレオチドプローブを設計し、それを固相支持体に貼りつけたものを用いる。そして、検体由来のDNAサンプルを当該DNAチップと接触させて、ハイブリダイゼーションを検出する。
(2-2-5)その他の方法
例えば、TaqMan PCR法は、アレル特異的なTaqmanプローブとTaqポリメラーゼを用い、SNPの検出とSNPを含む領域の増幅とを同時並行で行う方法である。Taqmanプローブは、5’末端が蛍光物質、3’末端がクエンチャーで標識されている約20塩基前後のオリゴヌクレオチドであり、目的のSNP部位にハイブリダイズするよう設計されている。Taqポリメラーゼは5’-3’ヌクレアーゼ活性がある。これらのTaqmanプローブ及びTaqポリメラーゼ存在下で目的のアリルを含む領域を増幅するよう設計されたPCRプライマーを用いて該アリル領域を増幅すると、増幅と並行して、Taqmanプローブが鋳型DNAの目的アリル部位にハイブリダイズする。フォワードプライマー側からの伸長反応が、鋳型にハイブリダイズしたTaqmanプローブに到達すると、Taqポリメラーゼの5’ヌクレアーゼ活性により、Taqmanプローブの5’末端に結合していた蛍光物質が切断される。その結果、遊離した蛍光物質はクエンチャーの影響を受けなくなり、蛍光を発生する。蛍光強度の測定により、SNP検出が可能となる。
本発明の方法でアリルを検出するポリヌクレオチドについて以下に説明する。
アリルの検出にプライマーを用いる場合は、増幅する領域及びタイピング方法に即したプライマーとなるように設計する。例えば、上記領域を完全に増幅できることが好ましく、上記領域の両端付近の配列に基づいて配列を設計できる。プライマーの設計手法は当技術分野で周知であり、本発明において使用可能なプライマーは、特異的なアニーリングが可能な条件を満たす、例えば特異的なアニーリングが可能な長さ及び塩基組成(融解温度)を有するように設計される。増幅する領域の長さは、タイピングに支障がない限り制限はないし、検出方法により適宜増減してよい。また、増幅される領域の一部にはアリル部位が含まれるが、増幅される領域内における当該部位の位置に制限はなく、検出方法(タイピング方法)にしたがって適切な位置に配置してよい。そのためプライマーの設計にあたり、プライマーとアリル部位との位置関係は、検出方法にあわせて自由に設計でき、検出しようとするアリルを含む配列番号1、3、5、7及び9で示される塩基配列の一部領域(例えば、連続した50塩基長以上500塩基長以下)にハイブリダイズする限り、タイピング方法の特性を考慮しながら、プライマーを設計できる。プライマーとしての機能を発揮する長さとしては、10~100塩基以上が好ましく、通常15~50塩基、好ましくは15~30塩基である。また設計の際には、任意の核酸鎖の50%がその相補鎖とハイブリッドを形成する温度であるプライマーの融解温度(Tm)を確認することが好ましい。鋳型となるDNAとプライマーとが二本鎖を形成してアニーリングするためには、アニーリングの温度を最適化する必要があるが、その一方で、この温度をより低すぎると非特異的な反応がおこるため、好ましくないからである。Tmの確認には、公知のプライマー設計用ソフトウェアを利用することができる。
(2-2-7)本発明に好ましいアリルの検出方法
本発明の方法として好ましいアリルの検出方法はPCRを用いたPCR-SSOP(Sequence Specific Oligonucleotide probe)法であってよく、当該方法を利用してHLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルを検出することができる。PCR-SSOPは具体的には、ビオチン標識したプライマーを用いてPCRで検体の上記アリルを含む領域を増幅する。増幅DNAを1本鎖DNAとし、特異的な配列であるプローブと特異的に結合させる。例えば、プローブを蛍光色素で色分けされたマイクロビーズに固定し、増幅DNAが結合したマイクロビーズからビオチンを介した蛍光標識ストレプトアジピンの結合による蛍光シグナルが得られるので、この蛍光シグナルの種類と増幅DNAの結合による蛍光を識別して同時に検出することで増幅DNAが結合したビーズの種類から遺伝子タイプが決定できる。当該方法には、市販のキットを用いてもよい。当該キットとしては、例えば、多数の多型を一度に判別できるxMAP(登録商標)テクノロジー(Luminex社)等があげられるが、これらに限定されない。本方法を用いた本発明の方法の概要を以下に説明する。
変性温度:90~100℃
アニーリング温度:40~70℃
伸長温度:60~75℃、
上記のサイクル数:30~50回程度
増幅の特異性を高めるために、2組以上のプライマーを用いて2回以上増幅反応を行ってもよい。その際、各増幅反応で用いるプライマーを、同じ位置に設計してもよく、最初の増幅におけるプライマーの位置よりも内側に設計してもよい。このようにして、検体のゲノムDNAを鋳型として、本発明に係るアリルの塩基配列を含む領域の核酸断片を特異的に増幅することができる。
(2-3)B型肝炎の慢性化に関連のあるアリルと、検体から得られたアミノ酸配列中の前記アリルのアミノ酸配列に対応するアミノ酸配列を比較する工程
本発明の方法としては、タンパク質レベルで本発明に係るアリルを検出することもできる。具体的には、本発明に係るアリルを有するDP分子を特異的に認識することができる抗体を用いることにより、本発明に係るアリルを検出することができる。当該抗体は、配列番号2、4、6、8及び10に示すアミノ酸配列のいずれの領域からなるペプチドを抗原として免疫学的方法により作製できる。抗体の作製方法、及び抗体を用いた本発明に係るアリルを有するDP分子の検出方法は、当技術分野で公知の方法を用いて行うことができる。
(2-4)B型肝炎の慢性化又は病態進展に対する発症抵抗性又は感受性の判定
本発明において、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及びHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルは、当該検体がB型肝炎の慢性化に対して発症抵抗性を有することを示し、HLA-DPB1*05:01及びHLA-DPB1*09:01アリルは当該検体がB型肝炎の慢性化に対して発症感受性を有することを示し、HLA-DPB1*02:01アリルは当該検体がB型慢性肝炎の病態進展に抵抗性を有することを示す。この意味で、本発明の方法は、本発明に係るアリルを用いて慢性B型肝炎又は病態進展の検査を行う方法ともいえる。
本発明に係るアリルを用いてB型肝炎の慢性化又は病態進展の素因を検出することができる。したがって、上記アリルを検出する試薬は、B型肝炎の慢性化又は病態進展の検査用試薬として有用である。当該試薬はB型肝炎の慢性化に対する発症抵抗性若しくは感受性又は病態進展を判定するためにも用いることができる。具体的には、上記の本発明に係るアリルや各種プライマーやプローブ、本発明に係るアリルに特異的に結合することができる抗体、SNPタイピングを行うときに同時に用いる試薬類(例えば、デオキシヌクレオチド3リン酸(dNTPs)やDNAポリメラーゼ、緩衝液等)や陽性コントロール等に加えて、他の溶媒や溶質と組み合わせて試薬とすることができる。たとえば、蒸留水、pH緩衝試薬、塩、タンパク質、界面活性剤等を組み合わせることができる。
また、タイピング法によっては、プローブ又はプライマー等の本発明に係るアリル検出用ポリヌクレオチドの一部に、HLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリル等とは無関係な配列が含まれていてもよい。さらに本発明に係るアリル検出用ポリヌクレオチドはDNAとRNAのキメラであってもよい。また本発明に係るアリル検出用ポリヌクレオチドは、蛍光物質や、ビオチン又はジゴキシンのような結合親和性物質で標識されていてもよい。
本発明に係るアリルを用いてB型肝炎の慢性化又は病態進展の素因を検出する場合、特別の条件、操作等は必要とされない。それぞれの方法における通常の条件、操作に準じて行なわれ、必要であれば若干の修飾を加えて好適な測定系を構築できる。
本発明の上記方法は、他のB型肝炎の慢性化又は病態進展に関連のあるアリルと組み合わせて用いてよい。用いるアリルについては、HLA-DPB1*09:01、HLA-DPB1*05:01、HLA-DPB1*04:02、HLA-DPB1*04:01及び/又はHLA-DPB1*02:01アリルに関するアリルでよく、さらにB型肝炎の慢性化又は病態進展に関連するのであれば、上記配列以外の配列中のアリルでもよい。本発明の方法は、換言すればアリルの検出による。一般にアリルとは、塩基の変化が人口の1%以上の頻度で存在しているものと定義され、1%未満のものでまれなバリエーションという。本発明として組み合わされるアリルとしては、上記アリルのほか、アリルとしての存在頻度を問わず、1%未満のものであってもよい。また本発明と組み合わされるアリルは、B型肝炎の慢性化に関する遺伝子中のどこに存在していてもよく、エクソン、イントロン、3’-UTR又は5’-UTR及びその隣接領域、及びプロモーター領域に存在してもよい。当該他のアリルを検出するためのポリヌクレオチドについては、当業者であれば、上記「(2-2)アリルの検出」に記載した方法等を用いて作製できる。また、アリルの数も特に制限はなく、1から数十の塩基の置換・欠失・挿入・付加のいずれであってもよい。また、一塩基多型(SNP:single nucleotide polymorphism)、制限酵素切断断片長多型(RFLP: restriction fragment length polymorphism)、VNTR(variable number of tandem repeat)、マイクロサテライト多型等の多型であってもよい。
