  • Circular RNA is a class of single-stranded RNA with a continuous structure that has enhanced stability and lacks terminal motifs necessary for interaction with various cellular proteins.
  • circRNA is a 3-5' covalently closed RNA loop, and circRNA does not display a cap or poly(A) tail.
  • circRNAs lack free ends necessary for exonuclease-mediated degradation, making them resistant to multiple RNA turnover mechanisms and conferring them an extended lifespan compared with their linear mRNA counterparts. For this reason, cyclization can stabilize mRNA, which typically has a short half-life, and therefore improve the overall potency of the mRNA in a variety of applications.
  • circRNA when transfected into cells, can have reduced immunogenicity relative to other forms of RNA, such as shRNA or double-stranded RNA.
  • circRNAs are generated by the splicing process, and circularization occurs using conventional splice sites primarily at annotated exon boundaries. For circularization, the splice site is used in reverse: the downstream splice donor "backsplices" to the upstream splice acceptor.

牛皮癣是一种慢性皮肤病,发病后大部分都会持续10-20年的时间,即使经过治疗会暂时好转,也必须终生冒着可能复发的风险生活。牛皮癣以边界分明的银白色鳞屑覆盖的红斑性皮肤病变为特征,主要在受到刺激较多部位的胳膊肘、膝盖、臀部、头皮等处发生。另外,牛皮癣通常会伴随多种并发症。其中,包括牛皮癣患者产生的特异性关节炎即牛皮癣关节炎。这种牛皮癣目前还没有能够直接预防发病的方法,预防其恶化就是最佳的方法。
阿尔兹海默症(AD)作为一类神经退行性疾病已被研究数十年。过去的研究多数集中在Aβ斑的沉积及神经纤维缠结上,但是并未发现有效的阿尔兹海默症治疗手段。近年来,越来越多的研究开始关注阿尔兹海默症中的神经免疫系统的异常激活。有大量研究发现在阿尔兹海默症患者及小鼠模型中PKR的表达水平及磷酸化水平有明显升高。PKR作为一类双链RNA结合蛋白,在众多天然免疫信号通路中发挥作用。同时,研究发现PKR可以作为Tau磷酸化激酶,直接影响Tau磷酸化水平,PKR敲除可以提高阿尔兹海默症(AD)模型小鼠的学习与记忆能力。
因此,有必要针对牛皮癣以及阿尔兹海默症疾病提供有效的治疗及预防方法。

发明详述
除非另有指示或定义,否则所有所用术语均具有本领域中的通常含义,该含义将为 本领域技术人员所了解。此外,除非另有说明,否则未具体详述的所有方法、步骤、技术及操作均可以且已经以本身已知的方式进行,该方式将为本领域技术人员所了解。亦参考例如标准手册、上述一般现有技术及其中引用的其他参考文献。
“核酸序列”、“多核苷酸”、“核苷酸序列”或“核酸片段”可互换使用并且是单链或双链RNA或DNA聚合物,任选地可含有合成的、非天然的或改变的核苷酸碱基。核苷酸通过如下它们的单个字母名称来指代:“A”为腺苷或脱氧腺苷(分别对应RNA或DNA),“C”表示胞苷或脱氧胞苷,“G”表示鸟苷或脱氧鸟苷,“U”表示尿苷,“T”表示脱氧胸苷,“R”表示嘌呤(A或G),“Y”表示嘧啶(C或T),“K”表示G或T,“H”表示A或C或T,“D”表示A、T或G,“I”表示肌苷,并且“N”表示任何核苷酸。尽管本文中的核苷酸序列可能以DNA序列表示(包含T),但在提及RNA时,本领域技术人员可以容易地确定相应的RNA序列(即用U替换T)。
序列“相同性”具有本领域公认的含义,并且可以利用公开的技术计算两个核酸或多肽分子或区域之间序列相同性的百分比。可以沿着多核苷酸或多肽的全长或者沿着该分子的区域测量序列相同性。(参见,例如:Computational Molecular Biology,Lesk,A.M.,ed.,Oxford University Press,New York,1988;Biocomputing:Informatics and Genome Projects,Smith,D.W.,ed.,Academic Press,New York,1993;Computer Analysis of Sequence Data,Part I,Griffin,A.M.,and Griffin,H.G.,eds.,Humana Press,New Jersey,1994;Sequence Analysis in Molecular Biology,von Heinje,G.,Academic Press,1987;and Sequence Analysis Primer,Gribskov,M.and Devereux,J.,eds.,M Stockton Press,New York,1991)。许多算法可用于确定序列相同性百分比。适合于确定序列相同性百分比的算法的一个实例是在基本局部比对搜索工具(以下为“BLAST”)中使用的算法,见例如Altschul等人,J.Mol.Biol.215:403-410,1990和Altschul等人,Nucleic Acids Res.,15:3389-3402,1997。进行BLAST分析的软件是通过国家生物技术信息中心(以下为“NCBI”)公开地可获得的。在使用从NCBI可获得的软件(如针对核酸序列的BLASTN)来确定序列相同性所使用的默认参数在McGinnis等人Nucleic Acids Res.,32:W20-W25,2004中有所描述。
如本文所用,“约”可意指正或负小于1%或1%、2%、3%、4%、5%、6%、7%、8%、9%、10%、11%、12%、13%、14%、15%、16%、17%、18%、19%、20%、25%、30%或大于30%,这取决于本领域技术人员已知或可知的情况。
术语“可操作地连接”是指调节序列和异源核酸序列之间的功能性连接,导致后者的表达。例如,当第一核酸序列与第二核酸序列处于功能关系时,第一核酸序列与第二核酸序列可操作地连接。例如,如果启动子影响编码序列的转录或表达,则启动子与编码序列可操作地连接。可操作地连接的DNA序列可以是彼此相邻的,并且,例如,当需要连接两个编码区时,它们在同一读码框中。
双链(ds)RNA依赖性蛋白激酶(PKR)抑制剂
本文中使用的术语“PKR”是指称为以下的蛋白:“双链RNA依赖性蛋白激酶”、“双 链RNA依赖性eIF-2α激酶”、“DAI”(Jimenez-Garcia,等,J.Cell Sci.106:11-12,1993)、“dSI”、“p68(人类)或p65(鼠类)激酶”(Lee,等,J.Interferon Cytokine Res.16:1073-1078,1996)或dsRNA-PK,或具有上述蛋白的功能的蛋白。也可以参见:Clemens,等,J.Interferon Res.13:241,1993。PKR是干扰素诱导的RNA依赖性丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶,它负责控制抗病毒防御途径,该酶的激活需要二聚化以及随后的自磷酸化(Galabru,J.&Hovanessian,A.,J.Biol.Chem.262:15538-15544,1987;Meurs,E.等,Cell,62:379-390,1990)。已经报道PKR在与激活刺激物(例如胰岛素、IGF、BCAA)相互作用后可形成同二聚体并自磷酸化。PKR能够催化目标底物的磷酸化,鉴定得最为充分的体内PKR底物为真核启动因子-2的α亚基(eIF-2α)。一旦磷酸化,eIF2将eIF2B(翻译的限速组分)隔离,它能够最终抑制细胞和病毒蛋白合成(Hershey,J.W.B.,Ann.Rev.Biochem.60:717-755,1991)。PKR的其他生物学功能是推定其作为信号传导者的作用。Kumar等证实,PKR可以磷酸化IκBα,导致核因子-κB(NF-κB)的释放和活化(Kumar,A.等,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA 91,6288-6292,1994)。PKR可与IκK复合物物理结合并刺激NF-κB诱导激酶(NIK),同时使IκK磷酸化,导致其随后降解。一些研究表明,NF-κB被PKR通过不依赖于其eIF2激酶活性的机理激活,而其它研究表明,eIF2-α的磷酸化是激活NF-κB所必需的。PKR的活化包括在串联至双链RNA中的两个分子结合(即PKR的二聚化),然后在发生于分子中的事件中彼此磷酸化(Wu等1997,J.Biol.Chem 272:1291-1296)。PKR参与了各种细胞过程,包括信号转导、分化和凋亡,尤其是与到作为体内控制机制的细胞凋亡的过程中,包括抗病毒活性、细胞生长调控和肿瘤生长(Donze等EMBO J.,14:3828-3834,1995;Lee等,Virology,199:491-496,1994;Jagus等Int.J.Biochem.Cell.Biol.1989,vol.9:1576-86)。
本领域已知,PKR也可以称作EIF2AK1;MGC126524;PRKR;OTTHUMP00000201320;P1/eIF2α蛋白激酶;双链RNA激活蛋白激酶;eIF2α蛋白激酶2;干扰素诱导的双链RNA-激活蛋白激酶;干扰素诱导型RNA-依赖性蛋白激酶;干扰素诱导型eIF2α激酶;p68激酶;RNA激活蛋白激酶;蛋白激酶、干扰素诱导型双链RNA依赖性或真核生物翻译起始因子2-α激酶2。作为典型示例,PKR蛋白质序列在中以NP_002750提供,将其引入本申请参考,而PKR mRNA序列在中以NM_002759提供。
术语“PKR表达”是指编码PKR的核酸序列的转录和翻译,其产物包括前体RNA、mRNA、多肽、转译后处理的多肽及其衍生物。用于PKR表达的分析包括例如自磷酸化分析(Der和Lau,Proc.Natl.Acad.Sci.USA,92:8841-8845,1995)、eIF2α磷酸化分析(Zamanian-Daryoush,M.等,Oncogenes,18:315-326,1999)、通过PKR免疫沉淀法进行的激酶分析和激酶体外分析(Zamanian-Daryoush,M.等,Mol.Cell.Biol,20:1278-1290,2000)。PKR表达和/或产物的典型分析包括蛋白分析(例如蛋白印迹法)和PKR mRNA分析(例如逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)分析)、Northern印迹分析、斑点印迹分析或根据编码PKR的核酸序列采用适当标记的探针进行的原位杂交分析。
本申请所用的术语“PKR异常活化”或“PKR异常激活”是指相对于识别天然免疫刺激物引起的PKR正常活化或激活以及PKR下游抗病毒反应等,在疾病例如自身免疫疾病(例如牛皮癣这种慢性皮肤病)或阿尔兹海默症中,天然免疫因子PKR的不必要活化或激活以及可能引起及加重相关疾病表型的不必要活化或激活。
本申请所用的术语“PKR抑制剂”是指抑制至少部分PKR活性或抑制至少部分PKR表达的物质、试剂或组合物。在一些实施方案中,所述抑制剂至少部分干扰PKR激酶活性。可以通过本领域的任意方法检测激酶活性,包括,例如用于PKR表达的分析、针对PKR或其主要下游靶标的eIF2α的磷酸特异性抗体和体外测定测定法。
在一个实施方案中,所述PKR抑制剂针对PKR蛋白,并且优选对PKR具有特异性。在一个实施方案中,所述PKR抑制剂可以通过以下方式发挥作用:例如直接地降低PKR的活性(如阻止PKR自磷酸化、阻止PKR二聚化)、提供PKR假激活物、提供PKR假底物、抑制eIF2α磷酸化、使eIF2-α去磷酸化或间接地促进PKR或eIF2α磷酸酶的活性。

环形RNA(circRNA)
环形RNA(circRNA)是一类具有连续结构的单链RNA,其具有增强的稳定性并且缺乏与各种细胞蛋白相互作用所必需的末端基序。circRNA是3-5’共价闭合的RNA环,并且circRNA不显示帽或poly(A)尾。circRNA缺乏核酸外切酶介导的降解所必需的游离末端,使得它们对多种RNA转换机制具有抗性,并且与它们的线性mRNA对应物相比,赋予它们延长的寿命。出于这个原因,环化可以使通常具有短半衰期的mRNA稳定,因此可以提高mRNA在各种应用中的总体效力。此外,当转染到细胞中时,circRNA相对于其它形式的RNA(例如shRNA或双链RNA)可具有降低的免疫原性。circRNA由剪接过程产生,并且环化使用主要在注释的外显子边界处的常规剪接位点发生。对于环化,剪接位点反向使用:下游剪接供体“反向剪接”到上游剪接受体。
前期工作发现具有特定双链结构的环形RNA在RNA病毒感染下被快速降解,并和PKR(protein kinase R)的异常激活有关。PKR是核酸识别受体,目前已报道的抑制细胞内核酸受体PKR异常磷酸化激活的抑制剂包括PRI短肽或小分子化合物2-Aminopurine(2-AP),咪唑并-羟吲哚衍生物(C16)等,但是需要指出的是,这些已有的小分子化合物抑制剂均存在不可忽视的局限性或副作用:例如PRI短肽会一定程度上诱导细胞凋亡,2-AP存在针对细胞内其它激酶的非特性抑制现象,而C16在进入细胞后存在一定程度抑制细胞正常增殖的现象等。
前期研究发现通过T4 RNA连接酶合成的环形RNA,包括可作为核酸适配体的环形RNA以及可翻译的环形RNA,均不会引起细胞内天然免疫反应。基于T4 RNA连接酶合成的环形RNA,不仅免疫原性低,且可以保留和体内相似的16-26bp短的双链结构,能够在体外及细胞内抑制PKR的激活,并且相对于已经报道的PKR小分子抑制剂具有约千倍以上更好的抑制效果。
本发明提供一种环形RNA,其具有特定双链茎环结构。术语“特定双链茎环结构”是指双链茎环结构的茎区具有特定的长度,例如具有16bp-26bp双链茎环结构的环形RNA是指具有双链茎环结构的茎区为16bp-26bp的环形RNA。在一个实施方案中,所述特定双链茎环结构的茎区的长度为16bp-26bp。在一个实施方案中,所述特定双链茎环结构的茎区的长度为16、17、18、19、20、21、22、23、24、25或26bp。在一个实施方案中,形成双链茎环结构的茎区的双链RNA彼此完全互补。在一个实施方案中,形成双链茎环结构的茎区的双链RNA可以彼此部分互补,只要它们能够彼此杂交形成碱基配对的茎区就可以。此时,形成双链茎环结构的茎区的双链RNA同时存在互补碱基对以及错配碱基对。其中,错配碱基对可以形成bulge(突起)或internal loop(内环)。其中,如果错配碱基对小于或等于4个,即认为其仍然属于RNA形成的双链茎环结构的一部分。在一些实施方案中,其中所述特定双链茎环结构的茎区包含至多4个错配碱基对,至多3个错配碱基对,至多2个错配碱基对,或者至多1个错配碱基对,或者不 包含错配碱基对。在一个实施方案中,形成双链茎环结构的茎的双链RNA之间的互补性的量通常共享至少50%、60%、70%、80%、85%、90%、91%、92%、93%、94%、95%、96%、97%、98%、99%、至多且包括100%的互补性。

实施例
实施例1、构建全身组织稳定过表达环形RNA的小鼠模型
本实施例证明通过CRISPR/CAS9能成功构建稳定过表达环形RNA的小鼠模型。
以人体内源表达的环形RNA circPOLR2A为例,构建稳定过表达的小鼠模型。circPOLR2A序列是在circexplorer数据库(http://yanglab.github.io/CIRCexplorer/)中获得,其中circPOLR2A对应的具体DNA序列为:ATGGTTCCTCGCATGATTGTCACCCCCCAGAGCAATCGGCCTGTCATGGGTATTGTGCAGGACACACTCACAGCAGTGCGCAAATTCACCAAGAGAGACGTCTTCCTGGAGCGGGTGGAACGGCACATGTGTGATGGGGACATTGTTATCTTCAACCGGCAGCCAACTCTGCACAAAATGTCCATGATGGGGCATCGGGTCCGCATTCTCCCATGGTCTACCTT TCGCTTGAATCTTAGTGTGACAACTCCGTACAATGCAGACTTTGACGGGGATGAGATGAACTTGCACCTGCCACAGTCTCTGGAGACGCGAGCAGAGATCCAGGAGCTGGCC(SEQ ID NO:1),在如图1结果所示,通过NCBI数据库(https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)进行序列比对,circPOLR2A序列在人鼠之间保守,但由于小鼠中成环外显子两侧缺少长散在序列(LINE,long interspersed nuclear elements)和短散在序列(SINE,short interspersed nuclear elements),所以生成不保守,即小鼠体内无法生成表达内源的circPOLR2A。
为检测人体内源表达的环形RNA circPOLR2A是否能在小鼠中稳定生成和表达,通过CRISPR/CAS9在ROSA26位点敲入了过表达circPOLR2A的序列,通过FuGENE HD Transfection Reagent(Promega)将同源重组的Donor质粒和sgRNA转染到小鼠干细胞R1细胞中,经过Trizol抽提RNA,结合RT-PCR,挑选鉴定到了#3,#29两个单基因插入阳性的单克隆。如图2所示,通过qPCR对#29号单克隆进行每个细胞中circPOLR2A拷贝数的绝对定量分析,在三次重复实验中,每个#29克隆中每个R1细胞能稳定表达约300,550,430个circPOLR2A。
基于以上研究结果,我们分别构建了两组稳定过表达circPOLR2A以及对应线性linearPOLR2A的转基因小鼠(小鼠购自百奥赛图生物公司),如图3所示,一组小鼠是由EF1α启动子驱动的表达,并由两个过表达的序列串联,分别进行circPOLR2A以及对应线性linearPOLR2A的过表达;另外一组小鼠由CAG启动子驱动的表达,包含一个过表达circPOLR2A或者linearPOLR2A的序列。
为检测两组不同启动子驱动过表达circPOLR2A以及对应线性linearPOLR2A的转基因小鼠中,各个组织中circPOLR2A或者linearPOLR2A的表达量,分别取三只野生型(WT),单基因插入小鼠(WT/+),双基因插入小鼠(+/+)的心脏组织,脾脏组织,肺组织,肾组织,脑组织,皮肤组织和肝脏组织,进行称重,并在Trizol中进行研磨,抽提各组织中总RNA,如图4结果所示。结合RT-qPCR计算每毫克组织中或者每微克总RNA中circPOLR2A或者linearPOLR2A的拷贝数。如图5结果所示,结合#29号R1单克隆细胞三次重复实验的平均拷贝数,以mactin为内参,计算两组不同启动子驱动的野生型(WT),单基因插入小鼠(WT/+),双基因插入小鼠(+/+)脾脏中circPOLR2A或者linearPOLR2A的表达量。同时结合Northern Blotting,进一步检测CAG启动子驱动的稳定过表达circPOLR2A转基因小鼠的各个组织中表达量,根据图6的结果所示,CAG启动子驱动过表达circPOLR2A小鼠在心脏组织,脾脏组织,肺组织,肝脏组织中的表达量较高,并且通过核酸外切酶RNaseR消化实验证明CAG启动子驱动的稳定过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型的成功构建。
以上结果证明,通过CRISPR/CAS9基因编辑技术,人体内源表达的环形RNA circPOLR2A以及其对应的linearPOLR2A能够在转基因小鼠各组织中稳定表达。
实施例2、咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣小鼠模型中RNase L微激活、环形RNA表达下调、 PKR异常激活
2.1.咪喹莫特(Imiquimod,IMQ)诱导的小鼠模型模拟牛皮癣疾病表型
通过施用咪喹莫特诱导牛皮癣小鼠模型(Fits et al.,J Immunol,2009,PMID:19380832)。在第0天(D0)将小鼠背部进行剃毛,取5组小鼠在背部涂抹咪喹莫特(购于3M Pharmaceuticals公司)分别连续诱导1天、2天、3天、5天和8天,同时在对照组小鼠的背部涂抹凡士林(vaseline),咪喹莫特与凡士林的施用剂量均为62.5mg/每只动物。取对应时间点的小鼠,处死后解剖分离小鼠脾脏,进行拍照,如图7及表1结果所示(其中表1统计了图7照片中脾脏占的像素点),随着连续IMQ抹药诱导的时间变长,小鼠脾脏尺寸逐渐变大。
表1.IMQ处理后的脾脏大小(pixel^2)
2.2咪喹莫特(Imiquimod,IMQ)诱导的小鼠脾脏中RNase L被瞬时激活,小鼠内源环形RNA表达量下调
取5组小鼠分别在背部涂抹咪喹莫特(购于3M Pharmaceuticals公司)连续诱导1天、2天、3天、5天和8天,施用剂量为62.5mg/每只动物。取对应时间点的小鼠,处死后解剖分离小鼠脾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞。加入Trizol提取总RNA,进行RT-qPCR分别检测牛皮癣相关的细胞因子mIFNβ,mIL17A,mIL23,mIL6,mPKR的表达变化。如图8及表2-7结果(其中表2-7中所表示的表达量是以D0天其中一只小鼠为1,计算对应目标基因表达变化的倍数)所示,mIFNβ,mIL17A,mIL23表达量随着抹药时间的增加而增加,但mIL6和mPKR的表达量在D1时表达量最高,随着抹药时间的增加,而逐渐降低。同时,通过结合RctB连接和RT-qPCR检测tRNA-His-21的变化来进一步确定RNase L激活,发现RNase L被瞬时激活,且在D1时激活程度最高,随着抹药诱导时间的增加,RNase L激活程度逐渐降低。

为了整体检测咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠脾脏细胞的整体变化情况,取不同抹药诱导时间点的小鼠脾脏总RNA进行高通量测序(RNA-Seq),每组时间点包括4只小鼠,同时还检测了对照组涂抹凡士林(施用剂量为62.5mg/每只动物)处理8天的小鼠脾脏总RNA。如图9结果所示,不同时间咪喹莫特处理以及凡士林处理小鼠脾脏中,整体线性RNA水平以及环形RNA来源的线性亲本基因表达量变化不明显,但环形RNA表达量从咪喹莫特处理D1时表达量开始降低,并一直持续D8。
为了进一步检测咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠模型脾脏细胞中环形RNA的表达变化,结合RT-qPCR检测了mCnot2,mFam120A,mNco2在pre-mRNA,mRNA,circRNA水平上的表达变化。如图9及表8-10结果(其中表8-10中所表示的表达量是以D0天其中一只小鼠为1,计算对应目标基因表达变化的倍数)所示,与通过RNA-seq检测到结果一致,三个目标基因在pre-mRNA和mRNA上随着抹药时间的增加,表达量变化不明显,但环形RNA表达量从D1开始持续降低。

取三组野生型小鼠分别在背部不做处理、涂抹咪喹莫特(施用剂量为62.5mg/每只动物)连续处理8天或者涂抹凡士林(施用剂量为62.5mg/每只动物)连续处理8天,处死后解剖分离小鼠脾脏组织,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞。加入RIPA buffer裂解细胞,在冰上孵育10分钟,加入蛋白质变性剂,100℃蛋白质变性10分钟,通过Western Blotting检测PKR的表达以及PKR磷酸化情况。如图10结果所示,咪喹莫特连续处理8天与未处理组相比,PKR蛋白表达量变化不明显,但PKR磷酸化水平升高,即PKR被异常激活。同时比较咪喹莫特或者凡士林连续诱导8天的小鼠脾脏细胞中PKR的表达量与磷酸化水平,两组小鼠脾脏细胞中PKR的表达量没有明显变化,但咪喹莫特组小鼠PKR磷酸化水平升高,对照凡士林处理组小鼠PKR没有被激活。说明咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠体内PKR的异常激活与连续抹药8天的处理动作无关,与咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣疾病表型有关。
2.4咪喹莫特(Imiquimod,IMQ)诱导的小鼠脾脏中不同免疫细胞亚型变化
在D0将小鼠背部进行剃毛,取5组小鼠分别在背部涂抹咪喹莫特(购于3M Pharmaceuticals公司)连续诱导1天、2天和5天,施用剂量为62.5mg/每只动物,处死小鼠后解剖取小鼠脾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞。加入DPBS漂洗细胞一次,1:200加入免疫细胞表面抗体进行荧光染色,4℃孵育30分钟,加入DPBS漂洗细胞一次,离心收集细胞沉淀,加入500μl的RIPM 1640培养基进行重悬用于流式细胞分选。
为了检测T细胞在咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠模型中细胞占比的变化,通过流式分析CD3+细胞,进一步分析CD4+或CD8+细胞,确定CD4+辅助性T细胞以及CD8+杀伤性T细胞在野生型小鼠中随着抹药时间增加,脾脏细胞不同免疫细胞亚型占比的变化。如图11及表11-14结果所示,CD4+辅助性T细胞和CD8+杀伤性T细胞随着抹药处理时间的增加,细胞量逐渐降低,说明T细胞在该牛皮癣模型小鼠中所占比例随药物诱导逐渐降低。
为了检测单核细胞以及树突状细胞在咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠模型中细胞占比的变化,通过流式分析CD45+细胞,进一步分析CD11b+或CD11c+细胞,来确定CD11b+单核细胞和CD11c+树突状细胞在咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣症状小鼠脾脏中细胞占比的变化。如图11及表11-14结果所示,CD11b+单核细胞和CD11c+树突状细胞随着抹药处理时间的增加,细胞比例逐渐增加,说明单核细胞和树突状细胞随着抹药处理时间的增加,在该牛皮癣模型小鼠中所占比例逐渐增加。

表12.CD4+T细胞在免疫细胞亚型中的比例变化(%)
表13.CD8+T细胞在免疫细胞亚型中的比例变化(%)
表14.CD11b+细胞在免疫细胞亚型中的比例变化(%)
如图11(b)结果所示,分别检测未处理组和咪喹莫特连续处理1天、2天以及5天的小鼠脾脏中各种免疫细胞亚型的变化,与图11(a)结果一致CD4+辅助性T细胞和CD8+ 杀伤性T细胞随着抹药处理时间的增加,细胞占比逐渐降低;CD11b+单核细胞和CD11c+树突状细胞随着咪喹莫特处理时间的增加,细胞占比逐渐增加。
2.5咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣小鼠模型潜在的分子机制说明
随着咪喹莫特处理时间增加,在分子水平上RNase L的激活,环形RNA表达量的降低以及PKR的异常激活表明,RNase L-环形RNA-PKR相关分子途径在牛皮癣小鼠疾病模型中具有潜在关联,具体来说在第1天时RNase L被激活,同时环形RNA的表达量降低,与mPKR和mIL6的表达变化一致。在细胞水平上,抹药诱导第2天后,不同免疫亚型细胞的比例发生明显变化,由此推测RNase L的激活以及环形RNA的变化可能会影响到下游不同免疫细胞亚型的变化,说明调节环形RNA的表达水平可以作为一种全新靶点用于自身免疫疾病如牛皮癣(psoriasis)的分子诊断或干预治疗中。
实施例3、咪喹莫特诱导的过表达环形RNA小鼠中牛皮癣疾病表型减轻
3.1.咪喹莫特诱导过表达环形RNA或线性RNA小鼠模型
在D0时将小鼠背部进行剃毛,取对应稳定过表达circPOLR2A或linearPOLR2A转基因小鼠分别在背部抹药连续诱导1天、2天、3天、5天和8天。取对应处理时间点的小鼠,处死后解剖分离小鼠脾脏,进行称重,如图12结果所示,D0时,过表达circPOLR2A和linearPOLR2A小鼠脾脏重量相同,随着连续抹药的时间变长,整体上小鼠脾脏大小的逐渐变大,但在D5和D8时,过表达circPOLR2A小鼠相比于过表达linearPOLR2A小鼠脾脏重量增加不明显,说明过表达circPOLR2A在一定程度上有助于缓解牛皮癣(psoriasis)模型小鼠脾脏肿大的表型。
3.2咪喹莫特诱导的过表达环形RNA小鼠中牛皮癣相关标志物基因表达降低
在D0时将小鼠背部剃毛,取对应过表达circPOLR2A或linearPOLR2A小鼠分别在背部抹药连续处理1天、2天、3天、5天和8天。取对应处理时间点的小鼠脾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞。加入Trizol提取总RNA,通过RT-qPCR分别检测牛皮癣相关的细胞因子mIFNβ,mIL6,和基因mPKR的表达变化。如图12(b)及表16-18结果(其中表16-18中所表示的表达量是以D0天其中一只小鼠为1,计算对应目标基因表达变化的倍数)所示,在过表达linearPOLR2A小鼠模型中,mIFNβ表达量在D1和D2时比较高,而在过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型中,mIFNβ表达量变化不明显,维持在低表达水平;在过表达linearPOLR2A小鼠模型中,mIL6表达量在D1时表达量最高,而过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型中,mIL6表达量变化不明显,维持在低表达水平。同时,在重复实验中,过表达linearPOLR2A小鼠模型与野生型小鼠的mIL6表达量变化一致,在D1时表达量最高,而过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型中,mIL6表达变化不明显,维持在低表达水平,说明过表达circPOLR2A在一定程度上有助于缓解牛皮癣(psoriasis)模型小鼠相关炎症因子或标志物基因表达水平。

3.3咪喹莫特诱导的过表达环形RNA小鼠模型在脾脏免疫亚型细胞上的变化
在D0时,将小鼠背部进行剃毛,取对应过表达circPOLR2A或linearPOLR2A小鼠分别在背部抹药连续处理2天,处死小鼠后解剖分离小鼠脾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞。加入DPBS漂洗细胞一次,利用磁珠法分选得到B细胞,T细胞,以及单核细胞,加入Trizol提取各免疫细胞亚群的总RNA,通过RT-qPCR分别检测牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9,及炎症因子mIL6和mTNFα的表达变化。
如图13及表19-30结果(其中表19-30中所表示的表达量是以其中一只过表达线性RNA小鼠为1,计算对应目标基因表达变化倍数)所示,B细胞、T细胞以及单核细胞中牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9,炎症因子mIL6和mTNFα的表达变化不一致。S100A8/9属于钙结合蛋白,在应激状态下由角质形成细胞表达和释放,诱导中性粒细胞迁移,形成炎症反应(Walter et al.,Nat Commun,2013,PMID:23463003)。其中,在B细胞中,过表达circPOLR2A相比较于linearPOLR2A小鼠模型中,牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9以及炎症因子mIL6表达量较低,mTNFα表达量变化不明显;在T细胞中,过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型相比较于linearPOLR2A小鼠模型中,牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9,炎症因子mIL6和mTNFα 表达量由于个体差异较大,无统计学差异;在单核细胞中,过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型相比较于linearPOLR2A小鼠模型中,牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9,由于个体差异较大,无统计学差异,炎症因子mIL6表达量较低,mTNFα表达量变化不明显。同时,在B细胞、T细胞和单核细胞中,野生型小鼠和过表达linearPOLR2A小鼠相比,牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9,炎症因子mIL6和mTNFα表达量变化一致,无明显差异。

3.4.环形RNA有助于缓解牛皮癣(psoriasis)模型小鼠疾病表型分子机制说明
在不同免疫细胞亚群中,过表达circPOLR2A小鼠模型相比于过表达linearPOLR2A小鼠模型,牛皮癣相关的标志基因mS100A8和mS100A9以及炎症因子mIL6表达变化有差异。取对应稳定过表达circPOLR2A或linearPOLR2A模型小鼠,处死后解剖分离小鼠脾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞。加入DPBS漂洗细胞一次,和上述方法一致,利用磁珠法分选得到B细胞、T细胞以及单核细胞,转染相同质量(2μg)的常用的双链RNA病毒刺激模拟物poly(I:C),4小时后,分别收集细胞,加入Trizol 试剂提取细胞的总RNA进行RT-qPCR检测细胞因子mIFNβ,mTNFα和mIL6的mRNA表达量。在B细胞和单核细胞中,在poly(I:C)的刺激下,过表达circPOLR2A的小鼠模型相比较于linearPOLR2A小鼠模型中,mIFNβ,mTNFα和mIL6表达量降低,然而在T细胞中,该变化不明显。结果如图14所示。
对野生型小鼠,过表达circPOLR2A和过表达linear POLR2A小鼠模型的脾脏细胞进行PKR表达量的检测,根据图15结果所示,PKR在B细胞和单核细胞中的表达量比T细胞中高,由此推测PKR的表达水平可能会影响到环形RNA参与不同免疫细胞亚群的天然免疫应答炎症反应调控中。
实施例4、体外合成的具有特定双链结构环形RNA的引入能够缓解咪喹莫特诱导牛皮癣疾病表型
为了进一步探究体外制备的含有特殊结构的环形RNA用于干预治疗牛皮癣的潜在可能,如图16结果所示,我们利用T4 RNA ligase的方法在体外合成并纯化circPOLR2A,通过Northern Blotting电泳的实验方法和RNase R消化的方式验证体外合成环形RNA circPOLR2A的环状结构的完整性和产物纯度。并利用体外SHAPE-MaP实验方法,对其二级结构进行了解析,结果如图16所示,通过T4 RNA ligase(购于NEB公司)合成的circPOLR2A(体外转录对应的DNA序列为:ATGGTTCCTCGCATGATTGTCACCCCCCAGAGCAATCGGCCTGTCATGGGTATTGTGCAGGACACACTCACAGCAGTGCGCAAATTCACCAAGAGAGACGTCTTCCTGGAGCGGGTGGAACGGCACATGTGTGATGGGGACATTGTTATCTTCAACCGGCAGCCAACTCTGCACAAAATGTCCATGATGGGGCATCGGGTCCGCATTCTCCCATGGTCTACCTTTCGCTTGAATCTTAGTGTGACAACTCCGTACAATGCAGACTTTGACGGGGATGAGATGAACTTGCACCTGCCACAGTCTCTGGAGACGCGAGCAGAGATCCAGGAGCTGGCC(SEQ ID NO:1))具有16-26bp的双链RNA结构区域(蓝色标记区域)。这种具有特殊双链RNA结构的环形RNA在体外同位素实验中能够抑制79bp dsRNA诱导的PKR磷酸化激活,因此可以作为PKR的抑制剂。通过尾静脉注射的方式将具有特殊双链RNA结构的circPOLR2A引入咪喹莫特诱导的自身免疫疾病牛皮癣小鼠模型中,发现疾病模型小鼠相关炎症反应有一定程度缓解。如图17结果所示,我们采用之前文献披露的器官选择性靶向RNA递送技术(SORT)(Chen et al.,Nat Nanotechnol,2020,PMID:32251383),将五种不同的脂质体成分5A2-SC8/DOPE/cholesterol/DMG-PEG按照15/15/30/3/7摩尔比制备纳米颗粒,分别包裹5μg体外制备的具有特殊双链结构的环形RNA circPOLR2A及同序列的线性RNA,同时通过纳米颗粒包裹相同体积的PBS,在DPBS中透析30分钟之后,通过尾静脉注射到小鼠中。6小时后,涂抹咪喹莫特(施用剂量为62.5mg/每只动物)诱导牛皮癣疾病症状,连续处理2天后处死小鼠,解剖分离小鼠脾脏,进行称重,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞,加入Trizol试剂提取细胞的总RNA 进行RT-qPCR分别检测细胞因子mIFNβ,mTNFα和mIL6的mRNA表达量。这一系列实施例结果表明,体外制备的具有特殊双链结构环形RNA的引入,能够在一定程度上缓解咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣疾病表型。
为了提高环形RNA治疗咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣小鼠的效果,我们通过尾静脉注射纳米包裹的体外合成的环形RNA,来对牛皮癣模型的小鼠进行治疗。尾静注射纳米颗粒包裹的体外合成的环形RNA,24小时之后,处死小鼠,解剖分离小鼠肝脏,脾脏,肺和肾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞,加入Trizol试剂提取细胞的总RNA,肝脏,肺和肾脏进行组织研磨并加入Trizol试剂提取细胞的总RNA,通过Northern Blotting分析环形RNA递送靶向的器官,如图19A所示,我们发现环形RNA主要被递送到脾脏中。如图19B所示,体外合成的环形RNA相比于线形RNA在小鼠体内更稳定。尾静注射纳米颗粒包裹的体外合成的环形RNA和线性RNA,分别6小时、24小时、48小时处死小鼠,解剖分离小鼠,脾脏,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞,加入Trizol试剂提取细胞的总RNA,通过Northern Blotting进一步分析,线性RNA在24小时基本完全降解,环形RNA在48小时才会基本完全降解,总体而言,体外合成环形RNA与线形RNA相比在小鼠体内更加稳定。进一步分析,递送到小鼠体内的环形RNA是否还能保持双链的结构,如图19C我们通过SHAPE-MaP分析纳米颗粒递送前后环形RNA对应的SHAPE值,发现无明显变化,所以纳米颗粒包裹的环形RNA能保持完整的双链结构。
连续咪喹莫特抹药诱导两天,并在第1.5天分别尾静脉注射相同体积的生理盐水(PBS),包裹0.5μg、5μg和15μg的circPOLR2A,24小时后,涂抹后处死小鼠,解剖分离小鼠脾脏,进行称重,将脾脏放在70μm的细胞滤网中进行研磨,并加入3倍细胞体积的红细胞裂解液将红细胞去除,收集得到淋巴细胞,加入RIPA试剂提取细胞的总蛋白,进一步分析PKR的磷酸化水平的变化。如图19D所示,注射包裹5μg和15μg的circPOLR2A的小鼠体内,PKR被明显抑制,说明体外合成的具有双链结构的环形RNA在咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣小鼠的模型的早起疾病发生中发挥重要的调控作用,并能起到治疗的效果。如图19E所示,通过石蜡切片和苏木精-伊红染色法(hematoxylin-eosin staining,HE staining),测量在第1.5天分别尾静脉注射相同体积的生理盐水(PBS),包裹0.5μg、5μg和15μg的circPOLR2A进行靶向脾脏递送后的小鼠表皮厚度,发现5μg和15μg的circPOLR2A递送组小鼠的表皮厚度有显著性降低,进一步说明体外合成的具有双链结构的环形RNA能够缓解咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣小鼠模型的疾病表型。
实施例5、PKR敲除(KO)可缓解咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣相关表型
由于PKR在牛皮癣的发病过程中,表达量呈现先升高后降低的变化趋势,所以我们想进一步探究PKR在小鼠咪喹莫特诱导的小鼠模型中的作用。如图20A所示,PKR 本底蛋白在咪喹莫特抹药诱导的第一天表达量显著上升,并在第二天表达量最高,后面随着抹药诱导的时间变长,PKR蛋白表达量也下降;PKR磷酸化蛋白在咪喹莫特抹药诱导第二天表达量最高,后面随着抹药诱导的时间变长,PKR磷酸化蛋白表达量也下降;PKR下游蛋白eIF2α在咪喹莫特抹药诱导的第一天表达量显著上升,并在第二天表达量最高,后面随着抹药诱导的时间变长,eIF2α蛋白表达量也下降;eIF2α磷酸化蛋白在咪喹莫特抹药诱导第二天表达量最高,后面随着抹药诱导的时间变长,eIF2α磷酸化蛋白表达量也下降;因此我们想进一步探究和PKR相同变化趋势的基因,如图20B所示,通过RNA-seq分析我们找到了和PKR相同变化趋势的基因和RIG-I,NOD,Toll,NF-kappa B以及TNF信号变化通路相关,我们进一步探究PKR与这些相同变化趋势的基因之间的关系,通过基因编辑CRISPR/CAS9技术构建了PKR敲除的C57/BL6小鼠品系。如图21A所示,PKR小鼠是通过CRISPR/CAS9技术对第三个外显子进行大片段的删除造成移码突变从而将PKR进行敲除。我们分别通过RNA-seq分析第三个exon的表达以及western blotting实验验证PKR KO小鼠的成功建立。我们发现咪喹莫特诱导的PKR KO小鼠中,第一天环形RNA表达量发生下降,如图21B所示。我们通过RNA-seq分析PKR KO小鼠和WT小鼠相比牛皮癣相关基因的表达变化,如图22所示,在咪喹莫特诱导的第一天,PKR KO小鼠和WT小鼠的脾脏中,IFNα和dsRNA sensor信号通路都在第一天表达量上升,但KO小鼠相比较于WT小鼠,这两个相关的信号通路表达量有所下降,说明PKR能过调控和PKR变化趋势相同的基因,包括IFNα和dsRNA sensor信号通路,PKR在咪喹莫特诱导的牛皮癣小鼠的模型的早起疾病发生中发挥重要的调控作用。
环形RNA作为PKR的抑制剂,我们一步比较过表达环形RNA的小鼠中和PKR变化趋势相同的基因变化,包括IFNα和dsRNA sensor信号通路,和野生型WT小鼠相比,IFNα相关的标志基因mIfi44、mIsg15、mMX2以及炎症因子mIL6表达量较低,并且有显著性差异,mIfih1h和mStat1表达量变化不明显,如图23所示。
实施例6、脑定位注射AAV2/9过表达circPOLR2A可缓解阿尔兹海默症相关表型
AAV作为目前最为安全且可行的基因过表达工具,已经有成功应用于治疗的范例。以AAV为过表达载体在5×FAD小鼠中进行了circPOLR2A过表达对AD疾病治疗作用的研究。首先构建了AAV过表达circPOLR2A及其对照线性POLR2A的质粒系统(图24A)。在该质粒系统中,POLR2A两个外显子的两端为两段完全反向互补序列和两段egfp序列。反向互补序列相互配对会促进外显子的反向剪接,从而成功表达circPOLR2A,同时两段egfp也会通过剪接形成完整的egfp mRNA,进一步翻译表达出eGFP荧光蛋白。而作为对照的线性POLR2A质粒去掉了3'端的完全反向互补序列,不能有效促进环化。通过经典剪接产生线性的POLR2A。在5xFAD小鼠海马中脑立体定位注射AAV病毒,三周后在海马区检测到了绿色荧光蛋白产生(图24B,比例尺为100μm)。这表明circPOLR2A的AAV过表达系统成功建立。
基于以上结果,在8月龄的5×FAD小鼠海马中分别注射了AAV2/9-L与AAV2/9-C,4周后收样检测。取注射区域即小鼠海马组织进行匀浆并抽提RNA,蛋白进行后续检测。在AAV-C注射小鼠中GFP表达,表明circPOLR2A生成。利用qPCR检测了circPOLR2A的绝对表达量,结果见表1。可见脑室注射的小鼠样品中circPOLR2A的表达量均比较高,但也有相对更大的个体差异。通过Northern Blot检测海马组织中成功表达了circPOLR2A,在线性对照组中也能看到极少量circPOLR2A通过自发的反向剪接产生(图25)。
表30
Western blot检测发现,Tau与PKR磷酸化水平相对AAV-L注射组降低,Aβ整体表达水平低(图26A)。RT-qPCR也检测发现AAV-C注射小鼠中相关免疫因子PKR、TNFα、IL6表达量显著降低(图26B)。
海马组织的切片免疫荧光染色显示GFP表达,表明circPOLR2A成功过表达。Tau蛋白磷酸化与Aβ斑表达量下降(图27A、C,比例尺为100μm)。这表明circPOLR2A过表达降低了AD的病理学表征,减弱了AD小鼠中枢神经系统中的炎症反应,进一步提供了以circPOLR2A回补缓解AD症状的可能性。
实施例7、尾静脉注射AAV-PHP.eB-circPOLR2A改善5xFAD小鼠相关疾病表型
在之前的研究结果中,初步验证了AAV过表达circPOLR2A挽回AD疾病表型的有效性。但是AAV的中枢神经系统原位注射有以下局限性:其一,脑立体定位注射是有创手术,开颅过程增加了小鼠颅内感染的风险。其二,这种注射方式仅能在注射位点高表达RNA,在AD这一疾病模型中,降低AD的疾病相关蛋白表达,提升记忆力需要全脑给药,这是原位注射无法实现的。其三,AAV脑定位注射实验过程复杂,在疾病的临床治疗和长期给药中是无法实现的。
因此,选择了小鼠尾静脉注射的方式实现小鼠全脑过表达circPOLR2A。在5×FAD小鼠尾静脉注射AAV-PHP.eB-circPOLR2A,4周后检测小鼠海马和皮层中均成功过表达circPOLR2A(图28,比例尺为650μm),其绝对定量情况如下表2。取对应组织匀浆抽提RNA与蛋白质检测发现在过表达小鼠海马及皮层中相关免疫基因的表达均低于GFP表达的对照5×FAD小鼠,Aβ与PKR磷酸化水平也有所降低(图29)。海马组织的冷冻切片染色可见circPOLR2A过表达小鼠中Aβ蛋白斑载量减少,统计有显著差异(图30,比例尺为100μm)。
表31
除了分子水平的疾病靶标之外,AD常常在临床上表现为患者记忆力逐渐丧失。在5xFAD小鼠模型中同样表现有类似记忆力减退表型。对尾静脉注射4周后的小鼠的空间学习记忆能力进行了检测。在水迷宫实验中,各组小鼠游泳速度无明显差异,水中运动能力相似(图31A、B)。在前五天的空间学习能力检测中WT小鼠优于5×FAD小鼠,前三天的学习中circPOLR2A过表达小鼠优于GFP对照组5xFAD小鼠,第四天第五天二者无差异(图31C)。在第六天的空间记忆能力检测中WT小鼠在目标象限所处时间显著高于对照组5×FAD小鼠(图31D),在原平台所在位置的穿梭次数显著高于对照组小鼠(图31E)。circPOLR2A过表达小鼠在目标象限所处时间也显著高于对照组5×FAD小鼠(图31D),穿梭次数高于对照组(图31E),这表明AAV尾静脉注射过表达circPOLR2A可以提高5xFAD小鼠的空间记忆能力。
综上所述,本实施例通过两种不同的AAV过表达circPOLR2A的方法在一定程度上缓解了阿尔兹海默症相关表型,提高了小鼠的空间记忆能力。这些实施例证明,具有特殊双链结构的环形RNA(以circPOLR2A为例)的回补可以在一定程度上缓解阿尔兹海默症的相关表型,为特殊结构的环形RNA适配体作为PKR抑制剂参与阿尔兹海默症的治疗提供可能。
