本发明属于生物医学技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于Cre-lox重组系统的Synaptotagmin2-RNAi及其应用。The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and in particular relates to a Cre-lox recombination system-based Synaptotagmin2-RNAi and an application thereof.
背景技术Background technique
1.RNA干扰技术:1. RNA interference technology:
RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)是指在进化过程中高度保守的、由双链RNA(double-stranded RNA,dsRNA)诱发的、和同源mRNA高效特异性降解的现象。由于使用RNAi技术可以特异性降低或关闭特定基因在细胞或有机体中的表达,所以该技术已被广泛用于探索基因功能和传染性疾病及恶性肿瘤的基因治疗领域。人们也基于这一现象研究了一种反向调控基因表达的遗传学机制。在动物中,RNAi可以通过U6启动表达shRNA来实现。目前的U6载体可以通过2种方式在动物细胞内表达:瞬时表达以及稳定表达。稳定表达主要是通过插入基因组中实现的。RNA interference (RNA interference, RNAi) refers to the highly conserved phenomenon in the evolution process, induced by double-stranded RNA (double-stranded RNA, dsRNA), and the efficient and specific degradation of homologous mRNA. Since the use of RNAi technology can specifically reduce or shut down the expression of specific genes in cells or organisms, this technology has been widely used in the field of gene therapy for exploring gene functions and infectious diseases and malignant tumors. Based on this phenomenon, people have also studied a genetic mechanism of negative regulation of gene expression. In animals, RNAi can be achieved by expressing shRNA from the U6 promoter. The current U6 vector can be expressed in animal cells in two ways: transient expression and stable expression. Stable expression is mainly achieved by insertion into the genome.
2.Cre-lox技术:2. Cre-lox technology:
Cre-lox技术是20世纪80年代从P1噬菌体中发现的一种位点特异性重组技术。该技术可通过Cre重组酶和lox位点的相互作用,实现目的片段的删除、翻转、插入和易位等。该技术不需要借助任何辅助因子,可作用于多种结构的DNA底物,如线形、环状甚至超螺旋DNA等,操作简单、快速、高效,因此被广泛应用于真核生物和原核生物的基因敲除、插入、翻转和易位等研究中。目前,Cre-lox系统应用最热门的领域是基因打靶,已被证明是哺乳动物细胞和小鼠遗传操作最有用的工具,该系统和基因打靶的结合提供了实现条件基因敲除或激活的手段。Cre-lox technology is a site-specific recombination technology discovered from P1 phage in the 1980s. This technology can realize the deletion, flipping, insertion and translocation of the target fragment through the interaction of Cre recombinase and lox site. This technology does not need any cofactors, and can act on DNA substrates with various structures, such as linear, circular or even supercoiled DNA. It is simple, fast and efficient, so it is widely used in eukaryotic and prokaryotic In the study of gene knockout, insertion, flipping and translocation. At present, the most popular field of application of the Cre-lox system is gene targeting, which has been proved to be the most useful tool for genetic manipulation of mammalian cells and mice. The combination of this system and gene targeting provides a means to achieve conditional gene knockout or activation .
3.病毒依赖的基因重组3. Virus-dependent gene recombination
由于转基因动物依赖的基因重组存在耗时长、成本高、区域或者组织特异性不高等不足。采用比较灵活的方式使用Cre-lox系统,例如通过病毒引入Cre或loxP元件,从而实现基因重组。借助病毒表达的cre-lox重组系统,可以特异性对某些细胞的标记和操控。当前运用神经示踪技术对大脑特定神经环路的结构和功能进行解析时,运用 Cre重组酶系统和 AAV血清型(比如 rAAV2/9、rAAV2/retro、rAAV2/1)结合,达到特异性对神经环路标记和功能研究的目的:病毒可以通过局部注射的方式保证区域特异性感染,再加上驱动 Cre基因的特异性启动子,能够实现更强的区域和细胞特异性的基因重组。但是对于如何时空特异性地干扰特定的神经环路的功能,需要涉及一种更优的时空特异调控相关重要基因的表达工具的开发。Due to the gene recombination that transgenic animals rely on, there are disadvantages such as time-consuming, high cost, and low regional or tissue specificity. Use the Cre-lox system in a more flexible way, such as introducing Cre or loxP elements through viruses to achieve gene recombination. With the help of the cre-lox recombinant system expressed by the virus, certain cells can be specifically marked and manipulated. When using neural tracing technology to analyze the structure and function of specific neural circuits in the brain, the Cre recombinase system is combined with AAV serotypes (such as rAAV2/9, rAAV2/retro, rAAV2/1) to achieve specific neural The purpose of loop labeling and functional research: The virus can ensure region-specific infection through local injection, coupled with the specific promoter driving the Cre gene, it can achieve stronger region and cell-specific gene recombination. However, how to specifically interfere with the function of specific neural circuits in time and space needs to involve the development of a better expression tool for time and space specific regulation of related important genes.
