Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular, to a composition for gene editing and its application.
  • the CRISPR/Cas9 system is an adaptive immune mechanism derived from archaea and bacteria to resist the invasion of exogenous DNA fragments such as plasmids and bacteriophages.
  • the system mainly functions by the CRISPR sequence and the locus encoding the Cas protein.
  • the Cas9 nuclease of the type II family is the most commonly used. This system only needs a single effector protein to function.
  • the type II CRISPR system first integrates the invading DNA into the CRISPR repeats. Subsequently, the CRISPR RNA (crRNA) containing the invading DNA sequence is transcribed and processed.
  • crRNA CRISPR RNA
  • CRISPR RNA binds to crRNA and finally forms a complex with Cas9 protein.
  • the Cas9 protein acts as an endonuclease through its HNH and RuvC-like domains to initiate DNA double-strand breaks. Double-strand breaks in DNA trigger damage repair mechanisms.
  • cells will undergo precise homologous recombination repair, allowing insertion or replacement of exogenous sequences. So far, CRISPR/Cas9 technology has been successfully applied in many fields, showing broad prospects. However, the use of homologous recombination for precise gene therapy still faces many difficulties. One of the main limiting factors is that the efficiency of homologous recombination is very low.

Description

用于基因编辑的组合物及其应用 技术领域
本发明涉及生物技术领域,具体地,涉及用于基因编辑的组合物及其应用。
背景技术
CRISPR/Cas9系统是来源于古细菌和细菌的一种抵御质粒、噬菌体等外源DNA片段入侵的获得性免疫机制。该系统主要由CRISPR序列和编码Cas蛋白的基因座发挥功能,目前最常用的是Ⅱ型家族的Cas9核酸酶,这一系统只需要单一的效应蛋白就可发挥作用。当外源DNA入侵细菌时,Ⅱ型CRISPR系统首先将入侵DNA整合到CRISPR重复序列之间。随后,包含入侵DNA序列的CRISPR RNA(crRNA)被转录和加工出来。此后,反式激活crRNA(transactivating CRISPR RNA,tracrRNA)与crRNA结合,并最终与Cas9蛋白形成复合物。最后,Cas9蛋白通过其HNH和RuvC样结构域发挥核酸内切酶作用引发DNA双链断裂。DNA的双链断裂会引发损伤修复机制,当有同源模板存在的情况下,细胞会发生精确的同源重组修复,从而可以实现外源序列的插入或替换。迄今,CRISPR/Cas9技术已经在很多领域得以成功应用,显示出广阔的前景。但是,利用同源重组方式进行精确的基因治疗依然面临很多困难,其中一个主要限制因素就是同源重组的效率非常低。虽然有不少研究报道了多种提高同源重组率的方法,但越来越多的证据表明这些方法并不适用于所有类型的细胞且效果也并不一致。因此,在特定细胞中找到有效提高同源重组的方法并筛选高效整合和切割的位点对基于细胞类型的细胞治疗尤为重要。
嵌合抗原受体T细胞技术(Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell,CAR-T)是近年来兴起的一种新型过继免疫疗法。它将患者T细胞在体外进行基因改造,经过一定扩增后回输至患者体内,从而实现肿瘤的靶向杀伤。目前,已有三款CAR-T产品被美国食品药品监督管理局批准用于血液肿瘤的临床治疗,标志着CAR-T技术的巨大成功。但是,作为新兴的技术,CAR-T技术在各方面依然面临着很多挑战,有巨大的改进空间。首先,现在最常用的方法是利用病毒系统导入外源序列。但是,使用病毒系统存在制备成本高、有随机插入的安全隐患等问题。其次,包括病毒制备在内的传统技术无法实现外源序列在基因组中的精确插入,这样会造成细胞均一性差而影响疗效,也无法对T细胞进行更多的 改造。另外,目前CAR-T疗法都是个性化治疗,存在生产成本高、周期长、效果有限等问题。因此,利用CRISPR/Cas9等技术实现CAR等人工改造元件在T细胞中的定点整合,对推动现有T细胞疗法的发展具有重要意义。一方面它可以避免外源序列随机插入带来的不确定性,提高细胞产品的均一性和稳定性。另一方面它可以实现T细胞的多样化改造,既可以一步构建通用型CAR-T细胞,通过调控内源基因构建增强型细胞产品,也可以实现人工元件的动态化表达,对拓展现有技术的应用有很大的帮助。但是,由于T细胞本身细胞类型的特殊性,通过同源重组实现外源序列定点整合的效率一直很低。因此,本领域迫切需要开发一种提高T细胞中同源重组效率的方法,同时也需要筛选高效整合和切割的位点。

具体实施方式
本发明人经过广泛而深入的研究,通过大量筛选,首次意外的筛选到了可特异性结合gRNA的源自PD1基因的靶序列,并且针对该靶序列创造性地设计对PD1进行高效基因编辑的gRNA,本发明还首次发现含有该gRNA、基因编辑酶(在某些情况下还含有供体DNA)的基因编辑组合物具有很高的敲除率和重组率。在此基础上完成了本发明。
术语
CRISPR/Cas9介导的基因编辑方法
CRISPR/Cas9是细菌和古细菌在长期演化过程中形成的一种适应性免疫防御,可用来对抗入侵的病毒及外源DNA。CRISPR/Cas9系统通过将入侵噬菌体和质粒DNA的片段整合到CRISPR中,并利用相应的CRISPR RNAs(比如gRNAs)来指导同源序列的降解,从而提供免疫性。
此系统的工作原理是crRNA(CRISPR-derived RNA)通过碱基配对与tracrRNA(trans-activating RNA)结合形成tracrRNA/crRNA复合物,此复合物引导核酸酶Cas9蛋白在与crRNA配对的序列靶位点剪切双链DNA。而通过人工设计这两种RNA,可以改造形成具有引导作用的gRNA(single-guide RNA),足以引导Cas9对DNA的定点切割。
作为一种RNA导向的dsDNA结合蛋白,Cas9效应物核酸酶是已知的第一个统一因子(unifying factor),能够共定位RNA、DNA和蛋白。将蛋白与无核酸酶的Cas9(Cas9nuclease-nul l)融合,并表达适当的gRNA,可靶定任何dsDNA序列,而gRNA的末端可连接到目标DNA,不影响Cas9的结合。因此,Cas9能在任何dsDNA序列处带来任何融合蛋白及RNA。这种技术被称为 CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑系统。
靶向整合机制
在本发明的靶向整合策略中,提供了一种含有特定长度的同源臂的线性化供体(即供体DNA或外源核酸),这种供体是通过PCR扩增或者精确酶切获得的含有一定长度(比如,700-900bp)同源臂的转基因供体;将供体DNA或外源核酸与Cas9蛋白以及guide RNA一起电转到细胞中。本发明提供的靶向整合策略相比于已有的基因靶向策略具有更高的整合效率。
基因编辑系统
本发明提供了一种基因编辑系统,所述系统包括基因编辑酶和gRNA,所述gRNA与来源于PD1基因的靶序列互补。
在一优选实施方式中,所述靶序列选自下组:
(1)SEQ ID NO.1所示的第40-130位(较佳地第50-122位)的核苷酸序列;
(2)将SEQ ID NO.1所示的第40-130位(较佳地第50-122位)的核苷酸序列经过一个或多个(≤10个,如2-8个,优选为3-5个)核苷酸的取代、缺失或添加而形成的衍生核苷酸,并且所述靶序列特异性与gRNA结合。
在一优选实施方式中,所述靶序列选自下组:

当本发明的药物组合物被用于实际治疗时,可根据使用情况而采用各种不同剂型的药物组合物。较佳地为静脉用药制剂或瘤内用药注射剂。
这些药物组合物可根据常规方法通过混合、稀释或溶解而进行配制,并且偶尔添加合适的药物添加剂,如赋形剂、崩解剂、粘合剂、润滑剂、稀释剂、缓冲剂、等渗剂(isotonicities)、防腐剂、润湿剂、乳化剂、分散剂、稳定剂和助溶剂,而且该配制过程可根据剂型用惯常方式进行。
本发明的药物组合物还可以缓释剂形式给药。例如,本发明的基因编辑系统可被掺入以缓释聚合物为载体的药丸或微囊中,然后将该药丸或微囊通过手术植入待治疗的组织。作为缓释聚合物的例子,可例举的有乙烯-乙烯基乙酸酯共聚物、聚羟基甲基丙烯酸酯(polyhydrometaacrylate)、聚丙烯酰胺、聚乙烯吡咯烷酮、甲基纤维素、乳酸聚合物、乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物等,较佳地可例举的是可生物降解的聚合物如乳酸聚合物和乳酸-乙醇酸共聚物。

(1)本发明的含有特定gRNA的基因编辑系统可显著提高敲除率和外源核酸的定点整合效率。

实施例2 使用本发明方法构建非病毒PD1定点整合型CD19-CART细胞,并对其功能进行检测
使用本发明PD1-sg1序列,使用不同健康供者的T细胞成功构建了PD1定点整合型CD19-CART细胞(其中用到的供体DNA序列如SEQ ID NO.:29所示),并进行了测序验证(图6),总阳性率大约在10%-30%(图7A、C),敲除率大约在80%-95%(图7B),PD1表达水平明显下降(图7D),体现出了较好的制备稳定性。在此基础上,对PD1定点整合型CD19-CART的生物学功能进行了检测。实验结果显示,与PD-L1高表达肿瘤靶细胞(本实施例以慢病毒感染的PD-L1稳定过表达Raji肿瘤靶细胞为例)接触后,PD1定点整合型CD19-CART细胞具 有比慢病毒制备的CAR-T细胞更强的扩增能力(图8)。与慢病毒制备的CD19-CART细胞相似,PD1定点整合型CD19-CART细胞能响应PD-L1高表达肿瘤靶细胞(本实施例以慢病毒感染的PD-L1稳定过表达Raji肿瘤靶细胞为例)的刺激而激活表面标志物CD69、CD137、CD25的表达(图9A-C),其中CD137表达水平的上升更为明显。相一致地,PD1定点整合型CD19-CART细胞与PD-L1高表达肿瘤靶细胞(本实施例以慢病毒感染的PD-L1稳定过表达Raji肿瘤靶细胞为例)接触后能大量分泌细胞因子IL-2、TNF-α、IFN-γ(图10A-C),其中IFN-γ分泌水平的上升更为显著。最后,通过体内外实验证明了与慢病毒制备的CD19-CART细胞相比,使用本发明构建的PD1定点整合型CD19-CART细胞具有对PD-L1高表达肿瘤靶细胞(本实施例以慢病毒感染的PD-L1稳定过表达Raji肿瘤靶细胞为例)更强的肿瘤杀伤能力(图11、12)。
综上,使用本发明序列并利用CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑工具可成功构建PD1定点整合型CAR-T细胞。本发明证明了与现有技术相比,使用本发明序列制备的定点整合型CAR-T细胞具有较高的阳性率,并可以有效地发挥功能。该技术方法与传统慢病毒制备方法相比,可减少CAR-T制备过程中使用病毒带来的高昂成本,并减少病毒随机插入带来的安全隐患,也提高了CAR-T产品的均一性。另外,该方法还可实现CAR-T细胞的多样化改造,增强CAR-T细胞的抗肿瘤能力。该举例证明了本发明提供的提高T细胞中外源序列定点整合的方法,以及保护的T细胞中高效整合、切割gRNA位点和DNA靶序列的重要性和价值,但不限于PD1定点整合CAR-T细胞的制备,可拓展到其他T细胞免疫疗法的开发。
