背景技术
基因治疗药物是生物医药的重要组成部分,有机会在人类历史上首次实现从根本上治愈罕见遗传病和癌症,也有潜力大幅度改善现有心血管疾病、代谢性疾病、自身免疫性疾病、神经退行性疾病等传统药物治疗效果不佳、治疗方式繁琐等固有疾病。
目前全球细胞和基因治疗的新药已有7款上市,未来十年将有数十个新药上市,总产值将突破千亿美元。目前已上市的产品中有3款是基于慢病毒载体的基因药物:其中2款针对淋巴瘤的Car-T药物和1款治疗β地中海贫血的基因药物Zynteglo(Bluebird Bio)。目前基因药物价格昂贵,病毒载体的生产成本是关键因素。
重组慢病毒的产生方式是将慢病毒的基因组分成3个或4个部分,分别装到不同的质粒载体中,利用质粒载体转染贴壁或悬浮培养的HEK293细胞,包装重组慢病毒。目前基于安全性考虑,临床上普遍应用4个质粒载体的生产系统。如图1所示。
临床级慢病毒的生产,目前国际上仍然没有理想的解决方案,瞬时转染的方法无论是贴壁细胞还是悬浮细胞都需要大量的临床级质粒载体。质粒载体的生产需要单独的生产线,同时在法规和工艺等方面都面临着巨大的挑战。此外,贴壁细胞的培养很难工业化放大,且成本极高。悬浮细胞培养相比贴壁细胞培养更容易利用生物反应器进行放大,但质粒的转染效率会大大降低。为了避免上述问题,科学家们把目光转向诱导性系统。其中研发比较成熟的是四环素诱导体系,但四环素的添加和去除是临床级慢 病毒生产和纯化的难点,此方法目前仍然没有被大规模应用。
发明内容

具体实施方式
为了更好的解释本发明,以便于理解,下面结合附图,通过具体实施 方式,对本发明作详细描述。
本发明的技术方案的主要思路和原理如下:
Cre重组酶(Cyclization Recombination Enzyme)是由大肠杆菌噬菌体P1的Cre基因所编码、由343个氨基酸组成的38kD的蛋白质。它不仅具有催化活性,而且与限制酶相似,能够特异性识别loxP位点。LoxP(locus ofX-overP1)位点长为34bp,包括两个13bp的反向重复序列和一个8bp的间隔区域。其中,反向重复序列是Cre重组酶的特异识别位点,而间隔区域决定了loxP位点的方向。当基因组内存在loxP位点时,一旦遇到Cre重组酶,Cre重组酶便会结合到loxP位点两端的反向重复序列区形成二聚体。此二聚体与其他loxP位点的二聚体结合,进而形成四聚体。随后,介于两个loxP位点之间的DNA被Cre重组酶切下,切口在DNA连接酶的作用下重新连接。
基于上述原理,本发明是将Stop序列置于两个方向相同的loxP位点之间组成loxP-Stop-loxP序列,组成一个可被Cre重组酶诱导激活的开关序列,然后将loxP-Stop-loxP序列置于慢病毒包装蛋白表达序列(gag-pol或VSV.G等)的前面(在驱动慢病毒包装蛋白表达序列(gag-pol或VSV.G等)表达的启动子后面),由此得到一种可被Cre重组酶激活诱导的质粒结构,然后将这种质粒通过PiggyBac载体系统整合到悬浮293细胞基因组上。如此得到的悬浮293细胞在无Cre重组酶的情况下不表达慢病毒包装蛋白,避免慢病毒包装蛋白的细胞毒性抑制悬浮293细胞的生长,有利于悬浮293细胞的规模化扩增和培养。此外,构建表达Cre重组酶的病毒,以该表达Cre重组酶的病毒感染稳定整合的悬浮293细胞(即其基因组上整合了前置loxP-Stop-loxP序列的慢病毒包装蛋白表达序列),利用Cre重组酶loxP-Stop-loxP序列中的Sotp序列,以激活连在loxP-Stop-loxP序列后面的慢病毒包装蛋白表达序列(gag-pol或VSV.G等)得以表达,包装出重组慢病毒。
现以目的基因为G2P(GFP-T2A-Puro)为例,对本发明方案、可实现性和技术效果验证进行说明。实施方法如下:

(二)将上述三个质粒,转染进入悬浮293细胞中,筛选符合要求的细胞株作为生产慢病毒的稳转株
稳定细胞系筛选是将质粒通过转染进入悬浮293细胞中,筛选出整合到悬浮293细胞基因组的Cell pool,具体步骤如下:
(1)将293细胞以2x10^6/孔铺一块35mm平皿,37℃培养1h;

(3)按照2×10 6个细胞/孔,铺一块6孔板,用20μL Bacmid-Cre转染Sf9细胞,转染后8h换液,转染后96h收集上清,获得携带Cre表达盒的杆状病毒。
三、杆状病毒感染悬浮293细胞产慢病毒的诱导型系统的验证
验证包括两部分,一部分是杆状病毒感染悬浮293细胞后,细胞中慢病毒包装蛋白的表达验证;另一部分是杆状病毒感染悬浮293细胞后,上清液的层析纯化产生的慢病毒感染靶细胞后目的基因表达的验证。
(一)、利用携带Cre重组酶表达盒的杆状病毒感染稳定整合慢病毒包装系统的悬浮293细胞,Western Blot检测感染前后慢病毒包装组分的表达。结果如图2所示,感染前由于loxp-stop-loxp的存在gag-pol和VSV.G均无表达。感染后明显表达。过程包括如下步骤:
(1)按照2×10 6个细胞/孔,铺一块6孔板,Baculovirus-Cre按照MOI1000感染悬浮293细胞,感染后72h收集细胞裂解获得裂解液。
(2)配制10%SDS-PAGE胶,将裂解液用BCA法进行蛋白浓度测定,向6%SDS-PAGE胶中加入相同蛋白量的细胞裂解液,用80V的电压跑至 压缩胶与分离胶交界处,用120V电压跑至胶的底部。
(3)用400mA恒定电流将含有蛋白的SDS-PAGE胶转至NC膜上。
(4)将转有蛋白的NC膜用5%脱脂牛奶在室温孵育1h,用TBST清洗膜3次,每次5min。
(5)用gag-pol和VSV.G蛋白的一抗于4℃孵育过夜。
(6)第二天用TBST清洗膜3次,每次10min,用含有HRP的二抗室温孵育1h,用TBST清洗膜3次,每次5min。
(7)用ECL法进行显影,获得感染前后gag-pol和VSV.G的表达水平比较结果。结果如图2所示,在感染后可以清楚看到gag-pol和VSV.G的表达。
说明利用携带Cre重组酶表达盒的杆状病毒感染稳定整合慢病毒包装系统的悬浮293细胞,可以激活慢病毒包装蛋白gag-pol和VSV.G序列进行表达。
(二)、利用携带Cre重组酶表达盒的杆状病毒感染稳定整合慢病毒包装系统的悬浮293细胞,收集感染前后的悬浮293细胞的培养基上清,纯化重组慢病毒,感染靶细胞(293T细胞)。过程包括如下步骤:

(2)用已经测好基因组滴度的Cre重组酶杆状病毒,以MOI1感染细胞系,感染后72h后收集细胞培养基上清。
(3)纯化采用GE的AKTA avant层析系统,采用DEAE层析,切向流过滤和core700层析纯化工艺,纯化得表达GFP的慢病毒。
(4)以MOI1为0.1感染靶细胞,进行流式分析和荧光显微镜观察。
用流式细胞仪检测GFP的阳性率,感染前无阳性细胞,感染后阳性率为46%。用荧光显微镜观察,结果如图3所示,Cre重组酶感染悬浮293细胞后,从上清收集、层析纯化的慢病毒感染靶细胞后,出现荧光,说明慢病毒中携带的目的基因G2P通过感染靶细胞,在靶细胞中得到表达。由此证明,本发明方法制备的重组慢病毒具有感染靶细胞并在靶细胞中表达 目的基因的能力。
上述实施例是以目的基因为G2P为例所进行的说明。在实际生产应用制备慢病毒基因药物时,根据治疗需求可以携带不同的目的基因,以达到特定的治疗目的。因而,在上述实施例的基础上,目的基因质粒可以用通式piggybac-CBA-loxp-stop-loxp-Target Gene来表示,其中,Target Gene可以是各种目的基因,例如Target Gene是COL7A1基因(序列为SEQ ID NO:7),可以由此生产出治疗营养不良型大疱性表皮松解症的慢基因药物。
最后应说明的是:以上各实施例仅用以说明本发明的技术方案,而非对其限制;尽管参照前述各实施例对本发明进行了详细的说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解:其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改,或者对其中部分或者全部技术特征进行等同替换;而这些修改或者替换,并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本发明各实施例技术方案的范围。
