Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to the field of biomedicine. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to the use of agents that increase or decrease the expression or activity of certain non-coding RNAs, such as certain miRNAs and lncRNAs, for the treatment of diseases associated with loss of neuronal function or death.
  • certain non-coding RNAs such as certain miRNAs and lncRNAs
  • Cell transdifferentiation refers to the process in which one type of differentiated cell transforms into another differentiated cell in structure and function through gene selective expression or gene reprogramming.
  • MicroRNA is a kind of highly conserved non-coding functional RNA molecule existing in animal or plant cells, and its length is about 17-27 nucleotides. miRNA inhibits the function of the target gene by binding to the 3'UTR region of the target mRNA sequence, resulting in translational repression or RNA degradation. When a miRNA is perfectly complementary to a target RNA it leads to the degradation of the mRNA, while when it is not fully complementary to the target RNA it prevents gene translation. In mammalian cells, miRNAs mainly prevent mRNA translation rather than affect its stability.
  • LncRNA Long non-coding RNA
  • RNA molecules with a length of more than 200 bases, which does not participate in protein coding, but can participate in the regulation of gene expression in the form of RNA.
  • LncRNA was regarded as the "noise" of gene transcription, a by-product of RNA transcription, and had no biological function.
  • studies in recent years have shown that lncRNAs are widely involved in a variety of biological processes, such as gene transcriptional regulation, genomic imprinting, chromatin silencing, chromatin modification, gene expression activation or inhibition, and many other biological processes.
  • LncRNAs participate in the regulation of gene expression from multiple levels such as epigenetics, gene transcription regulation, and post-transcriptional regulation, and some LncRNAs also participate in the regulation of miRNAs, thereby indirectly regulating gene expression.
  • astrocytes are a very abundant type of glial cells that exist around neurons and support and provide nutrition to neurons.
  • neuronal cells will die, resulting in some functional deficits, such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

Description

非编码RNA介导的神经性疾病治疗
本申请要求于2021年12月07日提交的发明名称为“非编码RNA介导的神经性疾病治疗”的申请号为202111488197.4的申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用并入本文。
技术领域
本公开内容涉及生物医药领域。更具体地,本公开内容涉及使某些非编码RNA(例如某些miRNA和lncRNA)的表达或活性增强或降低的试剂用于治疗与神经元功能缺失或死亡相关的疾病的用途。
背景技术
细胞的转分化(cell transdifferentiation)是指一种类型的分化细胞通过基因选择性表达或基因的重编程使其在结构和功能上转变成另一种分化细胞的过程。
MicroRNA(miRNA)是一类存在于动物或植物细胞内的高度保守的非编码功能性RNA分子,其长度大约为17-27个核苷酸。miRNA通过与靶标mRNA序列的3’UTR区域结合,导致翻译抑制或者RNA降解,从而抑制靶标基因的功能。当miRNA与靶标RNA完全互补时导致mRNA的降解,而当与靶标RNA不完全互补时阻止基因翻译。在哺乳动物细胞中,miRNA主要以阻止mRNA翻译而不是影响其稳定性。长链非编码RNA(LncRNA)是一类长度超过200个碱基的RNA分子,并不参与蛋白编码,但能以RNA的形式参与调控基因的表达。以前LncRNA被当做是基因转录的“噪音”,是RNA转录的副产物,没有生物学功能。但近些年的研究表明,LncRNA广泛参与多种生物学过程,比如基因的转录调控、基因组印迹、染色质沉默、染色质修饰、基因表达激活或抑制等多种生物学过程。在基因组中大约有4-8%的序列用于转录LncRNA,但LncRNA的功能研究确比较少,而且受限于技术方法,LncRNA的研究相对滞后。LncRNA从表观遗传学、基因转录调控、转录后调控等多个层次参与基因的表达调控,而且有一些LncRNA还参与miRNA的调控,从而间接调控基因表达。
在中枢神经系统中,星形胶质细胞是一类非常丰富的胶质细胞,存在神经元的周围,对神经元有支持和提供营养等作用。在多种神经退行性疾病或神经外伤中,神经元细胞会发生死亡,从而导致一些功能缺陷,如中风、阿尔兹海默症和帕金森症等。科学家们在体外培养的星形胶质细胞中,通过添加多种因子,能实现将胶质细胞转分化为神经元,如ASCL1、NeuroD1和Ngn2等因子。但在体内,由于体内的环境复杂性和细胞之间的相互影响,导致很多在体外培养皿中研究的结果难以在体内重现。因此,研究如何在体内原位对星形胶质细胞进行转分化以补充丢失的神经元具有重要的科学意义。
帕金森病(PD)是一种与神经元功能缺失或死亡相关的疾病,其特征是中脑黑质多巴胺神经元的丧失。目前对帕金森病的主要治疗手段是以左旋多巴制剂为代表的药物。同时手术 治疗也能在一定程度上改善症状。需要指出的是所有这些手段只能部分的缓解病情,还达不到阻止病情发展的效果。
近几年,对于miRNA和LncRNA在神经系统中的功能探索逐渐增多,主要集中于研究不同的miRNA和LncRNA在神经系统中的分布,以及miRNA和LncRNA在神经系统生长发育中的功能,而有关其在神经疾病中的研究较少。其中研究最多的就是miR-9和miR-124在神经元发育和成熟中的功能研究。而利用miRNA和LncRNA的特性,调控基因表达网络,从而达到改变细胞的特性的研究非常的少。miRNA和LncRNA具有十分重要的功能,探究如何将miRNA和LncRNA应用于药物开发,更具体的,应用于神经再生药物中,具有十分重要的科学意义。
本领域仍然迫切需要开发能够有效治疗与神经元功能缺失或死亡相关的疾病的新靶点和新疗法。

具体实施方式
miRNA和LncRNA在神经系统中广泛表达并具有重要的功能,在神经系统的发育和多中神经疾病的发生发展中都扮演着重要的角色。神经系统发育过程中miRNA广泛表达于多种神经细胞,而且不同的神经细胞中表达的miRNA种类不同。这表明,不同的miRNA可能参与调解不同的神经细胞发育。之前的研究表明,在神经系统发育过程中miRNA-124具有促进神经前体细胞向神经元分化的作用,而且miRNA-124可以通过调控Ptbp1等基因的表达,抑制神经前体细胞向胶质细胞的分化。而且,在体外培养的穆勒胶质细胞(Müller glia,MG)中,过表达miRNA-9和miRNA-124可以将穆勒胶质细胞转分化为视网膜神经元,并且过表达miRNA-9和miRNA-124可以促进AscL1介导的穆勒胶质细胞向视网膜神经元转分化。LncRNA是一类在神经系统中非常丰富的非编码功能性RNA,大约有一半的LncRNA特异性表达于神经系统。LncRNA不但参与了神经系统的发育和功能的成熟,还参与调解突触连接,轴突生长以及神经系统的损伤后修复等过程。然而,对于LncRNA,由于技术方法所限而研究较少,许多LncRNA的功能尚不清楚。之前的研究表明,在LncRNA在调节大脑发育过程中有着重要的功能,比如促进神经干细胞向神经元或胶质细胞分化。在疾病损伤修复过程中LncRNA也具有重要的功能,有研究发现BACE1-AS与阿尔兹海默症有关,MALAT1与帕金森病的发生和发展有关。然而,目前为止没有有关LncRNA与胶质细胞转分化的研究。
随着老龄化进程的发展,神经退行性疾病逐渐成为除癌症以外的第二大疾病,病人数量众多,然而目前能用于治疗神经退行性疾病的药物非常少,而且大部分药物只能延缓疾病的进程,并不能达到逆转疾病进程的效果。而神经再生技术的出现,无疑为这些重大神经退行性疾病的治疗带来了希望。科学家们将胶质细胞转分化为功能性神经元,期待能治疗神经退行性疾病或者中风等重大脑疾病。因此,寻找高效的神经转分化靶点就尤为重要。
本研究通过AAV介导的基因递送技术,在神经系统中将胶质细胞转分化为神经元神经元。实验结果表明,Pnky、Tuna、Let-7b和miR137等miRNA或LncRNA可以在体内将星形胶质细胞转分化为神经元。这些结果说明,miRNA和LncRNA也可以作为胶质细胞向神经元转分化的靶点,而且为治疗多种神经退行性疾病奠定基础。
与神经元功能缺失或死亡相关的疾病
在本公开内容中,与神经元功能缺失或死亡相关的疾病主要包括与多巴胺神经元功能 缺失或死亡相关的疾病,以及与视神经节或感光细胞缺失或死亡相关的视力障碍。
在一个优选的实施方案中,所述与神经元功能缺失或死亡相关的疾病选自:帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病、脑卒中(中风)、精神分裂症、亨廷顿舞蹈症、抑郁症、运动神经元病、脑缺血、脑损伤、肌萎缩性侧索硬化(ALS)、脊髓性肌萎缩症、Pick病、睡眠失调、癫痫、共济失调、PloyQ疾病、成瘾、或其组合,优选帕金森病和RGC或感光细胞功能缺失或死亡导致的视觉系统疾病。
星形胶质细胞
星形胶质细胞,是哺乳动物脑内数量最多的一类细胞。它们执行许多功能,包括生化支撑(例如形成血-脑屏障),为神经元提供营养,维持细胞外离子平衡,并参与脑和脊髓损伤后的修复和瘢痕形成。根据胶质丝的含量以及胞突的形状可将星形胶质细胞分为两种:纤维性星形胶质细胞(fibrous astrocyte)多分布在脑和脊髓的白质,突起细长,分支较少,胞质中含大量胶质丝;原浆性星形胶质细胞(protoplasmic astrocyte),多分布在灰质,细胞突起粗短,分支多。
可用于本公开内容的星形胶质细胞没有特别限制,包括哺乳动物中枢神经系统来源的各种星形胶质细胞,例如来源于纹状体、中脑腹侧被盖区、下丘脑、脊髓、背侧中脑或大脑皮层,优选地,来源于纹状体或黑质。
神经元
在本公开内容中,神经元可以指能够通过化学或电信号发送或接收信息的神经元。在一些实施方案中,神经元展现出存在于正常神经系统中的成熟神经元的一种或多种功能特性,包括但不限于:兴奋性(例如,表现出动作电位的能力,例如快速上升和随后的下降)(跨细胞膜的电压或膜电位),与其他神经元形成突触连接,突触前神经递质释放和突触后反应(例如,兴奋性突触后电流或抑制性突触后电流)。
在一些实施方案中,神经元的特征在于其表达功能神经元的一种或多种标记,包括但不限于突触蛋白,突触素,谷氨酸脱羧酶67(GAD67),谷氨酸脱羧酶65(GAD65),小白蛋白,多巴胺-和cAMP调节的神经元磷蛋白32(DARPP32),囊泡谷氨酸转运蛋白1(vGLUT1),囊泡谷氨酸转运蛋白2(vGLUT2),乙酰胆碱,酪氨酸羟化酶(TH),多巴胺,囊泡GABA转运蛋白(VGAT)和γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)。
多巴胺神经元
多巴胺能神经元(dopaminergic neuron)含有并释放多巴胺(dopamine,DA)作为神经递质的神经元。多巴胺属于儿茶酚胺类神经递质,在中枢神经系统中发挥重要的生物学作用,大脑内的多巴胺能神经元主要集中在中脑的黑质致密区(substantria nigra pars compacta,SNc)、 腹侧被盖区(ventral tegmental area,VTA)、下丘脑和脑室周围。很多实验证实多巴胺能神经元与人体的多种疾病密切相关,最典型的就是帕金森病。
腺相关病毒
因腺相关病毒(Adeno-associated virus,AAV)较其他病毒载体小,无致病性,可转染正在分裂和未分裂的细胞等特性,基于AAV载体的针对遗传性疾病的基因治疗方法受到了广泛的关注。
腺相关病毒(AAV),也称腺伴随病毒,属于微小病毒科依赖病毒属,是目前发现的一类结构最简单的单链DNA缺陷型病毒,需要辅助病毒(通常为腺病毒)参与复制。它编码两个末端的反向重复序列(ITR)中的cap和rep基因。ITRs对于病毒的复制和包装具有决定性作用。cap基因编码病毒衣壳蛋白,rep基因参与病毒的复制和整合。AAV能感染多种细胞。
重组腺相关病毒载体(rAAV)源于非致病的野生型腺相关病毒,由于其安全性好、宿主细胞范围广(分裂和非分裂细胞)、免疫源性低,在体内表达外源基因时间长等特点,被视为最有前途的基因转移载体之一,在世界范围内的基因治疗和疫苗研究中得到广泛应用。经过10余年的研究,重组腺相关病毒的生物学特性己被深入了解,尤其是其在各种细胞、组织和体内实验中的应用效果方面已经积累了许多资料。在医学研究中,rAAV被用于多种疾病的基因治疗的研究(包括体内、体外实验);同时作为一种有特点的基因转移载体,还广泛用于基因功能研究、构建疾病模型、制备基因敲除鼠等方面。
在本公开内容一个优选的实施例中,载体为重组AAV载体。AAV是相对较小的DNA病毒,其可以稳定和位点特异性方式整合到它们所感染的细胞的基因组中。它们能够感染一大系列的细胞而不对细胞生长、形态或分化产生任何影响,并且它们似乎并不涉及人体病理学。AAV基因组己被克隆、测序及表征。AAV在每个末端包含约145个碱基的反向末端重复序列(ITR)区域,其作为病毒的复制起点。该基因组的其余被分成两个带有衣壳化功能的重要区域:包含涉及病毒复制和病毒基因表达的rep基因的基因组左边部分;以及包含编码病毒衣壳蛋白的cap基因的基因组右边部分。
AAV载体可采用本领域的标准方法制备。任何血清型的腺相关病毒均是合适的。用于纯化载体的方法可见于例如美国专利No.6566118、6989264和6995006,它们的公开内容整体以引用方式并入本文。杂合载体的制备在例如PCT申请No.PCT/US2005/027091中有所描述,该申请的公开内容整体以引用方式并入本文。用于体外和体内转运基因的衍生自AAV的载体的使用己有描述(参见例如国际专利申请公布No.WO91/18088和WO93/09239;美国专利No.4,797,368、6,596,535和5,139,941,以及欧洲专利No.0488528,它们均整体以引用方式并入本文)。这些专利公布描述了其中rep和/或cap基因缺失并被所关注的基因替换的各种来源于AAV的构建体,以及这些构建体在体外(进入培养的细胞中)或体内(直接进入生物体)转运所关注的基因的用途。复制缺陷重组AAV可通过将以下质粒共转染进被人类辅助病 毒(例如腺病毒)感染的细胞系而制备:所含的所关注核酸序列的侧翼为两个AAV反向末端重复序列(ITR)区域的质粒,和携带AAV衣壳化基因(rep和cap基因)的质粒。然后通过标准技术纯化所产生的AAV重组体。
在一些实施方案中,重组载体被衣壳化到病毒粒子(例如包括但不限于AAV1、AAV2、AAV3、AAV4、AAV5、AAV6、AAV7、AAV8、AAV9、AAV10、AAV11、AAV12、AAV13、AAV14、AAV15和AAV16的AAV病毒粒子)中。因此,本公开包括含有本文所述任何载体的重组病毒粒子(因其包含重组多核苷酸而为重组的)。产生这样的粒子的方法是本领域己知的,并在美国专利No.6,596,535中有所描述。

实施例
下面结合具体实施例,进一步阐述本公开内容。应理解,这些实施例仅用于举例说明本公开内容而不用于限制本公开内容的范围。
实施例1.敲低Pnky介导的胶质细胞向神经元转分化
为了研究CasRx敲低Pnky的效率,我们在293T细胞中分别转染对照组质粒和实验组质粒,Q-PCR结果表明在人类细胞中可以利用CasRx高效敲低Pnky的表达,Pnky敲低实验组的Pnky表达只有对照组的0.5%(图1A)。为了进一步在体内利用CasRx对Pnky进行编辑,我们构建了一套AAV表达系统,用胶质细胞特异性启动子GFAP来启动mCherry的表达,以特异性标记星形胶质细胞,同时用GFAP启动CasRx的表达,实现特异性在星形胶质细胞中表达CasRX(图1B)。在小鼠大脑中注射不同的AAV组合,对照组注射GFAP-mCherry+GFAP-CasRx,实验组注射GFAP-mCherry+GFAP-CasRx-gRNA(Pnky),其中GFAP-mCherry标记星形胶质细胞,在注射后1-2个月进行取材分析(图1C)。

为了在体内探究miRNA和lncRNA是否可以将胶质细胞转分化为神经元,我们构建了AAV系统,利用AAV-GFAP-mCherry标记胶质细胞,并利用胶质细胞特异性启动子GFAP启动miRNA/LncRNA的在胶质细胞中表达(图2A)。为了探究Tuna,Let-7b和miRNA-137的功能,我们分别构建了AAV-GFAP-Tuna,AAV-GFAP-Let-7b和AAV-GFAP-miRNA-137的AAV表达载体(图2B)。将AAV注射到小鼠脑部纹状体中,在注射后的1-2个月分析,并用神经元特异性标志物NeuN进行免疫荧光染色,GFAP-mCherry标记的胶质细胞转分化为神经元后会与NeuN共标(图2C)。在对照组中,注射了GFAP-mCherry后1个月的结果显示,胶质细胞依然保持着胶质细胞的典型特征,并且不与神经元特异性标志物NeuN共标(图2D)。而在GFAP-Tuna组,红色荧光标记的细胞已经明显具有神经元的形态,胞体变圆,同时具 有一些较长的而且较细的突起,进一步用神经元特异性标志物NeuN进行染色,发现红色细胞与NeuN重叠,这表明这些红色的细胞已经从胶质细胞转分化为神经元(图2E)。与此类似,在GFAP-Let-7b组和GFAP-miRNA-137组有一部分红色细胞具有典型神经元形态,而且与神经元特异性标志物NeuN共标。与此同时我们在GFAP-Let-7b组和GFAP-miRNA-137组也观察到有一部分红色细胞依然保持胶质细胞形态,这表明有一部分胶质细胞转分化为神经元,有一部分细胞并未发生转分化,依然是星形胶质细胞(图2F和G)。
实施例3.过表达miRNA或lncRNA诱导的胶质细胞向神经元转分化
为了进一步研究在miR-18b,miR-24,miR-34a,miR-128,miR-134,miR-143,Let-7a,miR-92b,miR-96,miR-106,miR-125a,miR-135,miR-141,miR-200,miR-218,miR-429等miRNA是否也能将星形胶质细胞转分化为神经元,我们构建了由星形胶质细胞特异性启动子GFAP启动的miR-18b,miR-24,miR-34a,miR-128,miR-134,miR-143,Let-7a,miR-92b,miR-96,miR-106,miR-125a,miR-135,miR-141,miR-200,miR-218,miR-429表达载体,并包装AAV。各组AAV与AAV-GFAP-EGFP进行混合后注射到小鼠纹状体中,其中AAV-GFAP-EGFP可以特异性将纹状体中的星形胶质细胞标记为绿色。在注射后1-2个月进行取材分析,发现在对照组,绿色荧光信号标记的细胞仍然保持着典型的星形胶质细胞形态,而miR-18b,miR-24,miR-34a,miR-128,miR-134,miR-143,Let-7a,miR-92b,miR-96,miR-106,miR-125a,miR-135,miR-141,miR-200,miR-218,miR-429等miRNA过表达组中发现有大量AAV-GFAP-EGFP标记的星形胶质细胞已经转变为神经元形态(图3B-G,图4A-F和图5A-F)。进一步通过神经元特异性蛋白标志物进行染色,发现虽然有些细胞表达NeuN还比较弱,但大部分具有典型神经元形态的细胞已经表达NeuN(图3B-G,图4A-F和图5A-F)。为了进一步研究是否能转分化产生多巴胺神经元,我们用多巴胺神经元特异性蛋白标志物TH进行免疫荧光染色,发现在Let-7a,miR-92b,miR-96,miR-106,miR-125a,miR-135,miR-141,miR-200,miR-218,miR-429等miRNA过表达组发现有TH阳性细胞,其中miR-106,Let-7a,miR-141,miR-200这几个组的TH阳性细胞较多,而且TH阳性细胞比例较高(图6)。这表明,过表达miR-18b,miR-24,miR-34a,miR-128,miR-134,miR-143,Let-7a,miR-92b,miR-96,miR-106,miR-125a,miR-135,miR-141,miR-200,miR-218,miR-429等miRNA能将星形胶质细胞转分化为神经元。而且,过表达Let-7a,miR-92b,miR-96,miR-106,miR-125a,miR-135,miR-141,miR-200,miR-218,miR-429,miR-24等miRNA不仅能将星形胶质细胞转分化为神经元,而且能将其转分化为多巴胺神经元。
