  • the H19 DMR refers to a section of the M19-Igf2 imprinted cluster (DMR: differentially methylated region).
  • DMR differentially methylated region
  • the specific location and sequence of the H19 DMR can be determined by methods such as existing methylation sequencing or homologous sequence analysis prediction. It is known that the human H19 DMR is located in the chromosome 11p15.5 region, and the mouse H19 DMR is located at the distal end of chromosome 7, between the two genes H19 and Igf2, and the upstream of the H19 gene from the 2kb to 4kb position.
  • H19 DMR is methylated in the paternal allele, resulting in the inability of CTCF protein to bind to this methylation region, so that the enhancer downstream of H19 does not need to overcome the CTCF barrier, thereby enhancing the expression of upstream Igf2.
  • CTCF protein can bind to this unmethylated region, so the enhancer downstream of H19 can only enhance the expression of H19, but can not regulate the upstream Igf2. If the paternal H19DMR is knocked out, then the enhancer downstream of H19 can upregulate the expression of Igf2.
  • the solitary male haploid is a paternal source, it should theoretically be completely methylated, but the study found that the methylation of the lone male haploid H19 DMR in vitro was abnormally erased and demethylated.

Description

一种孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞及其制备与应用 技术领域
本发明涉及生物技术,特别是涉及一种孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞及其制备与应用。
背景技术
全基因组水平的隐性基因筛选是鉴定基因在特定生物学过程所起功能的一种极其有效和强大的方法。这种策略已经成功地在低等生物比如酿酒酵母、线虫得以运用。在哺乳动物中,由于基因组的二倍体性,这种功能筛选显得异常的困难(Shi,L.,Yang,H.,and Li,J.(2012).Haploid embryonic stem cells:an ideal tool for mammalian genetic analyses.Protein&cell 3,806-810)。通过靶向mRNA水平的RNA干扰(RNAi)手段目前已经成为哺乳类细胞全基因组范围内进行基因功能丧失筛选的最佳方案。然而,这种方法常常无法有效抑制基因的表达,同时还存在着脱靶效应(Kaelin,W.G.,Jr.(2012).Molecular biology.Use and abuse of RNAi to study mammalian gene function.Science 337,421-422)。最近,来源于细菌的CRISPR-Cas9系统已经成功运用于小鼠和人细胞水平的基因功能缺失的筛选中。然而,CRISPR-Cas9介导的全基因组水平筛选仅使用于细胞水平,而将研究只局限于细胞水平的表型分析。为此,就如同目前在低等生物如酵母线虫所做的那样,如何在哺乳动物系统中实现对范围更广的生物学过程进行高效、大规模、功能缺失的筛选途径。
哺乳动物单倍体胚胎干细胞(haESCs)的获得(Elling,U.,Taubenschmid,J.,Wirnsberger,G.,O'Malley,R.,Demers,S.P.,Vanhaelen,Q.,Shukalyuk,A.I.,Schmauss,G.,Schramek,D.,Schnuetgen,F.,et al.(2011).Forward and reverse genetics through derivation of haploid mouse embryonic stem cells.Cell Stem Cell 9,563-574;Leeb,M.,and Wutz,A.(2011).Derivation of haploid embryonic stem cells from mouse embryos.Nature 479,131-134),为遗传学分析提供了一种很理想的工具。孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞(AG-haESCs)的整个基因组是来源于精子,其能够通过注射到成熟的MII卵子(intracytoplasmic AG-haESCs injection,ICAHCI)的方式实现重构胚胎的全程发育,进而获得存活的动物个体,我们将其称为半克隆动物。我们推断,如果孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞能够通过ICAHCI高效稳定地产生半克隆小鼠的话,那么其作为受精的媒介携带基因组水平的CRISPR-Cas9敲除文库,就能筛选出参与特定发育过程的重要基因。
然而,之前的研究显示出生存活的半克隆小鼠效率非常低(半克隆小鼠的出生效率为4.5%,半克隆大鼠的为1%),同时有大约50%的半克隆小鼠呈现出发育阻滞的表型,并且出生后不久就死去。更者,随着AG-haESCs长期的培养,半克隆小鼠的整体出生率出现急速下降,特别是进行基因操作所导致的额外培养过程。
其中一个可能的原因是印记基因的异常表达。这些以双亲来源特异表达方式的印记基因,被认为单亲胚胎发育的一个重要障碍,因此胚胎的正常生长和发育同时需要母本和父本的基因组。目前,大约有150个小鼠印记基因已经被鉴定出来。大部分都位于一个很大的基因簇中,并且通过差异性甲基化区域(DMR)进行调控(Bartolomei,M.S.(2009).Genomic imprinting:employing and avoiding epigenetic processes.Genes&development 23,2124-2133)。和这一假说 一致,有研究表明,父源表达抑制的印记基因H19,其所在差异性甲基化区域(DMR)在孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞和生长阻滞的半克隆小鼠中均一致地发生了印记的异常擦除(Yang,H.,Shi,L.,Wang,B.A.,Liang,D.,Zhong,C.,Liu,W.,Nie,Y.,Liu,J.,Zhao,J.,Gao,X.,et al.(2012).Generation of genetically modified mice by oocyte injection of androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells.Cell 149,605-617)。母源表达的H19基因与父源表达的Igf2相邻,它们被同一个DMR调控着,这个DMR在父本等位基因中发生DNA甲基化,并且作为CTCF依赖的绝缘子只允许母源等位基因进行表达。这一DMR的甲基化状态决定着H19(H19表达,DMR去甲基化,绝缘子活化)和Igf2(Igf2表达,DMR甲基化,绝缘子失活)是否表达。有趣的是,H19基因或者其DMR的敲除对于小鼠来说并没有任何严重的表型(Leighton,P.A.,Ingram,R.S.,Eggenschwiler,J.,Efstratiadis,A.,and Tilghman,S.M.(1995).Disruption of imprinting caused by deletion of the H19gene region in mice.Nature 375,34-39;Thorvaldsen,J.L.,Mann,M.R.,Nwoko,O.,Duran,K.L.,and Bartolomei,M.S.(2002).Analysis of sequence upstream of the endogenous H19gene reveals elements both essential and dispensable for imprinting.Molecular and cellular biology 22,2450-2462)。目前,有关于采用完全成熟的卵子和基因改造的未成熟卵子获得的重构胚的相关研究(Kono,T.,Obata,Y.,Wu,Q.,Niwa,K.,Ono,Y.,Yamamoto,Y.,Park,E.S.,Seo,J.S.,and Ogawa,H.(2004).Birth of parthenogenetic mice that can develop to adulthood.Nature 428,860-864;Kawahara,M.,Wu,Q.,Takahashi,N.,Morita,S.,Yamada,K.,Ito,M.,Ferguson-Smith,A.C.,and Kono,T.(2007).High-frequency generation of viable mice from engineered bi-maternal embryos.Nature biotechnology 25,1045-1050)。然而未成熟的卵子由于不能在体外培养扩增,因此导致其无法在体外完成基因改造,并且由于完全成熟的卵子和基因改造的未成熟卵子获得重构胚的技术操作难度高,所以应用价值不大。
发明内容
鉴于现有技术半克隆动物出生率低下的缺点,本发明的目的在于提供一种可提高半克隆动物出生率的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞及其应用。
导致出生率极有可能的原因是孤雄单倍体本身的印记状态出现了异常。通过实验,惊讶的发现,将H19-Igf2和Dlk1-Dio3两个印记簇的差异性甲基化区域(DMR)敲除可以重新建立起孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞球形精子相类似的特性。将这种两个DMR敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞命名为DKO-AG-haESCs。这种DKO-AG-haESCs能够高效地获得半克隆小鼠(大约有20%的SC小鼠出生率),并且通过在体外对孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞进行基因操作后仍能够稳定地产生多基因修饰的半克隆动物。更让人兴奋的是,这种DKO-AG-haESCs只需要在体外细胞水平上转染稳定表达的sgRNA文库和Cas9就能够有效地一步法获得大量的突变动物。这些实验结果表明DKO-AG-haESCs可以作为一个中间体通过携带sgRNA文库的方式在个体水平上实现基因的突变,因此可进一步运用到动物个体水平上基于基因突变的大规模筛选上。
本发明第一方面提供了一种孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞,所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的H19DMR及IG-DMR基因被敲除。
本发明第二方面提供了所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的制备方法,包括将孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的H19 DMR及IG-DMR敲除获得所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞。
本发明第三方面提供了所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的用途,为用于构建基因改造的半克 隆动物。
本发明第四方面提供了一种构建基因改造半克隆动物的方法,将H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞与卵细胞结合获得半克隆胚胎,培育所述半克隆胚胎获得半克隆动物。
本发明第五方面提供了一种基因改造动物,由前述方法构建获得,或者为前述方法构建的半克隆动物的有性繁殖后代。
本发明第六方面提供了一种本发明的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞及sgRNA慢病毒文库构建基因改造半克隆动物文库的方法。
本发明第七方面提供了一种基因改造半克隆动物文库,为采用前述方法构建获得。
本发明的有益效果:
(1)、现有的研究表明:从单倍体囊胚建立的AG-haESCs能够通过ICAHCI技术获得半克隆动物。然而AG-haESCs经过长期的培养传代特别是体外基因操作之后无法产生存活的SC动物,可能的原因是是由于雄性印记的丢失。本发明发现通过敲除H19和IG-DMR的敲除AG-haESCs能够获得球形精子类似的特性。AG-haESCs注射到卵子中能够以约20%的效率稳定地获得存活的SC小鼠,是早期代数WT AG-haESCs效率的约10倍高(Yang et al.,2012)。重要的是,本发明还发现DKO-AG-haESCs能有效地用于多基因遗传操作,进一步通过ICAHCI得到携带多基因遗传修饰的SC小鼠。更者,结合sgRNA文库,DKO-AG-haESCs能高效地用于一步产生杂合和纯合的突变小鼠,为在动物个体水平上实现基于基因敲除的筛选提供进一步的证据。
(2)、DKO-AG-haESCs相比目前已有的获得基因修饰动物的方法有几方面的优势。首先,目前的研究报道了直接注射Cas9mRNA和sgRNA到受精卵一步法获得转基因或内源基因突变的小鼠。这一方法展示了CRISPR-Cas9技术在制备基因修饰动物上强大的潜力。然而,目前观察到的基因操作动物存在极高比率的嵌合现象,这大大地增加了F1代动物表型分析的难度。相比,DKO-AG-haESCs介导的基因编辑技术提供了一套独特的系统,基因修饰的DKO-AG-haESCs可能得到很好的分析和筛选,以确保产生的SC动物能够出现预期的遗传学形状,这样就能大大避免嵌合现象的发生。第二,用传统的二倍体胚胎干细胞注射到囊胚中获得基因修饰的小鼠需要通过嵌合小鼠的生殖系传递。然而,生殖系传递这一步往往非常耗时。更严重的是,针对多基因修饰的二倍体胚胎干细胞,在生殖系传递的过程中会出现后代发生性状分离的现象,只有一小部分的后代可能囊括了所有想要的基因修饰。而DKO-AG-haESCs能够实现完全一步获得多基因修饰的F0小鼠。第三,通过将二倍体胚胎干细胞注射到四倍体囊胚(也称四倍体补偿技术)的方法能够一步得到全部ESC来源的小鼠。这一方法也被广泛使用,是检验重编程细胞例如诱导多能性胚胎干细胞(iPSCs)和核移植胚胎干细胞(ntESCs)多能性的最严格标准。然而,胚胎干细胞或诱导多能胚胎干细胞来源的动物出生效率非常低,可能是由于二倍体胚胎干细胞表观遗传的不稳定性。而DKO-AG-haESCs经过长期的体外培养特别是遗传操作后仍能稳定高效地获得。第四,ICAHCI技术和ROSI相似,ROSI这一项技术已经在不同的哺乳动物中很成熟,包括非人灵长类和人。目前食蟹猴来源的单倍体胚胎干细胞系已经成功建立,ICAHCI技术或许在不久的将来可以用于高效快速地获得基因修饰的非人灵长类动物。最后,DKO-AG-haESCs可以通过sgRNA 文库获得大量基因突变的动物。很显然,针对大规模获得突变动物,这种方法相比直接往胚胎里注射质粒或mRNA的方法更加简单省力,因为携带持续表达Cas9和sgRNA文库的DKO-AG-haESCs系可以反复作为注射的供体,以持续高效地产生不同的基因突变动物。这些不同的突变动物可以简单快速地通过一份通用引物PCR鉴定sgRNA的插入(就像是突变动物的条形码)。相反,通过直接往胚胎注射质粒或mRNA的方法需要将每次独立注射的sgRNA单独分开准备。获得的突变动物需要分开养殖,后续的鉴定需要针对特定的基因使用相应的引物。可以设想,针对适当的sgRNA文库,例如通过细胞水平高通量分析所得到的一些差异表达基因,可以做成一个sgRNA的亚文库,或许这些基因将参与到发育过程的某个特定阶段。利用DKO-AG-haESCs这一方案,可以快速有效地在个体水平上筛选出与这发育过程相关的重要基因。
(3)、DKO-AG-haESCs介导SC动物的获得,是产生携带有基因家族里多基因突变或多个基因敲入等基因修饰动物模型的一种有效而简单的方法。更者,结合sgRNA文库,DKO-AG-haESCs能够一步获得大规模的基因突变动物。虽然DKO-AG-haESCs能如此高效获得SC动物存在的机制仍让人好奇,但是这种方法或许能够促进我们对发育学过程和复杂疾病进行更深入的探究。

具体实施方式
本发明首先提供了一种孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞,所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的H19 DMR及IG-DMR被敲除。
所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的整个基因组来源于精子,具有干细胞的自我复制能力与多 能性,能取代精子与卵母细胞结合支持胚胎的完全发育。
所述H19 DMR是指:H19-Igf2印记簇内的一段甲基化差异区域(DMR:differentially methylated region)。H19 DMR的具体位置与序列可根据现有的甲基化测序或同源序列分析预测等方法明确。已知人H19 DMR定位于染色体11p15.5区,鼠H19 DMR则位于7号染色体远端,位于H19和Igf2两个基因之间,H19基因的上游的2kb到4kb位置。H19 DMR在父本等位基因上呈甲基化状态,导致CTCF蛋白无法结合到这段甲基化区域上,使H19下游的增强子不需要逾越CTCF这一障碍,进而达到增强上游的Igf2的表达并且降低H19的表达。而在母本等位基因上呈去甲基化状态,CTCF蛋白能够结合到这段未甲基化的区域,因此H19下游的增强子只能增强H19的表达,但是对上游的Igf2无法调控。如果将父本H19DMR敲除的话,那么H19下游的增强子就能上调Igf2的表达。由于孤雄单倍体是父本来源,理论上应当处于完全甲基化的状态,但是研究发现,体外培养的孤雄单倍体H19 DMR的甲基化出现异常擦除,成为去甲基化状态,导致H19的表达异常上调而Igf2的表达被下调,本发明敲除了H19 DMR,纠正了这种H19表达上调Igf2表达下调的异常状态。
所述IG-DMR是指:Dlk-Dio3印记簇内的一段甲基化差异区域(DMR:differentially methylated region)。IG DMR的具体位置与序列可根据现有的甲基化测序或同源序列分析预测等方法明确。已知小鼠的IG-DMR位于12号染色体上,处在印记簇中Dlk1和Gtl2 2个基因之间4.15kb的一段重复序列,人的则位于14号染色体上(14q32.2)。IG-DMR在父本等位基因中,这段区域发生DNA甲基化,这一印记簇的基因Gtl2以及一些mircroRNA不表达,但是基因Rtl1、Dlk1和Dio3则表达。在母本等位基因中,这段区域不发生DNA甲基化(去甲基化状态),因此Gtl2以及一些mircroRNA进行表达,但是基因Rtl1、Dlk1和Dio3则不表达。在孤雄单倍体(父本来源)和出生异常的SC动物中,研究发现本应该是甲基化状态的IG-DMR,其甲基化出现异常擦除,从而导致基因Rtl1、Dlk1和Dio3的沉默,Gtl2以及一些mircroRNA的异常激活。
进一步的,所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞除了H19 DMR及IG-DMR敲除之外,还经过其他基因改造。
基因改造具体是指通过生物或化学或物理的手段使基因相比改造前在结构上发生变化。这种变化主要是指碱基对组成的变化,包括但不限于一个或多个碱基对的替换、增添、缺失引起的改变。
在一优选例中,列举了对Tet1、Tet2、Tet3、p53家族的基因改造。
所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞来源于哺乳动物,可以为人或非人哺乳动物。较佳的,所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞来源于啮齿动物,如兔、鼠,鼠可以为小鼠、大鼠。在优选的实施例中,所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞来源于小鼠。
相比H19 DMR及IG-DMR未同时敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞,本发明的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞构建半克隆动物的出生率更高。
本发明还提供了所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的制备方法,包括将孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的H19 DMR及IG-DMR敲除获得所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞。
可以采用现有的基因编辑方法敲除所述H19 DMR及IG-DMR。在优选的实施例中,采用CRISPR/Cas9介导的基因操作敲除H19 DMR及IG-DMR。还可采用其他方法实现基因敲 除,并不限于实施例所列举的方式。
基于H19 DMR的敲除,H19 DMR的完整序列从染色体DNA中去除;基于IG DMR的敲除,IG-DMR的完整序列从染色体DNA中被去除。
在一实施例中,先构建H19 DMR敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞,并在此基础上进一步敲除IG-DMR。在另一个实施例中,先构建IG-DMR敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞,并在此基础上进一步敲除H19 DMR。在另一个实施例中,直接构建H19 DMR及IG-DMR同时敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞。
进一步的,所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞还经其他基因改造。
所述的其他基因改造是指除H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除以外的基因改造。所述其他基因改造可以是单个目标基因的改造或者为多个感兴趣目标基因的改造。感兴趣目标基因并不特指,可以根据研究需要设定并改造。例如,可以是一个、两个、三个以上目标基因的改造。由于本发明H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞可在体外传代,因此理论上可以不断对其进行基因改造,对于目标基因的改造数量可以按照需要操作,没有特别限制。
所述基因改造包括但不限于目标基因的敲入、目标基因的敲除等。目标基因的敲入、目标基因的敲除可以采用基因打靶、同源重组等技术来完成,包括但不限于基于ZFN(锌指核酸酶)、TALEN(转录激活样效应因子核酸酶)和CRISPR/Cas9(成簇规律间隔短回文重复技术)等的基因操作。
在一实施例中,将H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞进一步经单次或多次基因改造获得H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除且经其他基因改造的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞。或者,也可以先对孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞进行基因改造,而后将基因突变的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的H19 DMR及IG-DMR敲除。除以上列举,凡是可以实现H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除及其他基因突变的其他生物技术手段均可用于构建H19 DMR及IG-DMR双敲除且经其他基因改造的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞。
本发明还提供了所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞的用途,为用于构建基因改造的半克隆动物。
进一步的,以所述孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞替代精子作为受精媒介用于构建基因改造的动物。

进一步的,可采用胚胎移植的方法在合适的母体内培育所述半克隆胚胎获得半克隆动物。

1.3孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞系的建立
按照已报道的方法构建(Yang,H.,Shi,L.,Wang,B.A.,Liang,D.,Zhong,C.,Liu,W.,Nie,Y.,Liu,J.,Zhao,J.,Gao,X.,et al.(2012).Generation of genetically modified mice by oocyte injection of androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells.Cell 149,605-617,)。
方法:
去掉MII卵子的细胞核注入相应的精子头。小鼠MII卵在人绒毛膜促性腺激素(HCG)处理的14小时后进行收集,然后利用Piezo针在含有5ug/ml细胞松弛素B(CB)的HEPES-CZB培养液中去核。去核后,单个的精子头注入到卵胞质中。重构的胚胎在CZB培养液中培养1小时,然后转入到含1mM Sr2+的激活液进行激活。激活之后,所有的重构胚胎转到含有氨基酸的KSOM培养液于37℃,5%CO2条件下进行培养。3.5天后到达桑葚或囊胚阶段的重构胚胎种植到ESC培养基中。
重构胚胎透明带由Acid Tyrode溶液进行消化去除。每个转移到铺有小鼠成纤维细胞滋养层的96孔板孔中,并且用含有20%血清替代物(KSR)、1,500U/ml LIF、3M CHIR99021和1M PD0325901的ESC培养基进行培养。培养4-5天后,细胞克隆由胰酶消化并传到铺有新鲜滋养层的96孔板中。细胞进一步扩大培养,传代到48孔板并进一步至6孔板中,日常的细胞维持仅在6孔板中即可。为了分选出单倍体细胞,胚胎干细胞胰酶消化后,用PBS(GIBCO)洗一遍,然后在含有15μg/ml Hoechst 33342的ESC培养基。水浴30min。随后,通过流式分选仪BD FACS AriaII分选收集出单倍体1N峰形的细胞进行后续的培养获得孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞系。
1.4CRISPR-Cas9介导的基因操作
CRISPR-Cas9质粒构建:将合成好的sgRNA的正向寡核苷酸链和反向寡核苷酸链进行退火获得双链寡核苷酸链(本发明中sgRNA序列均指sgRNA的正向寡核苷酸链序列)然后与BbsI(New England Biolabs)酶切好的pX330-mCherry进行连接。构建好的相应质粒按照说明书用Lipofectamine 2000(Life Technologies)转染到孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞中。转染48小时之后,通过流式(FACS AriaII,BD Biosciences)将带有红色荧光蛋白的单倍体细胞分选出来后,以较低的密度铺下。生长4-5天后,挑取单克隆进行后续的建系。最后通过PCR目的基因进行测序的方法获得相应基因突变的细胞系。
如涉及基因的敲入,则需构建双链的DNA供体。
双链DNA供体制备:
扩增到编码EGFP、mCherry或ECFP的序列,然后相应地连接到pMD19-T载体上得到pMD19-T-EGFP/mCherry/ECFP。随后,将目的基因的左右同源臂相应地插入到pMD19-T-EGFP/mCherry/ECFP的载体上。
1.5病毒的制备和双敲孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞(DKO-AG-haESCs)的病毒感染
小鼠的sgRNA病毒文库和Cas9的病毒质粒已有报道(Cong,L.,Ran,F.A.,Cox,D.,Lin,S.,Barretto,R.,Habib,N.,Hsu,P.D.,Wu,X.,Jiang,W.,Marraffini,L.A.,et al.(2013).Multiplex genome engineering using CRISPR/Cas systems.Science 339,819-823;Koike-Yusa,H.,Li,Y.,Tan,E.P.,Velasco-Herrera Mdel,C.,and Yusa,K.(2014).Genome-wide recessive genetic screening in mammalian cells with a lentiviral CRISPR-guide RNA library.Nature biotechnology 32,267-273, 2014),本发明所用小鼠sgRNA病毒文库和Cas9的病毒质粒由Addgene公司提供。为了制备病毒,HEK293T提前传代到10cm培养皿中,用
Figure PCTCN2015083165-appb-000033
2000Reagent(Invitrogen,Life Technologies)转染3ug的病毒质粒(sgRNA慢病毒文库或Cas9慢病毒)和9μg of ViraPower Lentiviral Packaging Mix慢病毒包装混合物(Invitrogen)转染到HEK293T细胞中。转染72小时后收集上清,用慢病毒浓缩液Lenti-Concentin virus precipitation solution(SBI)进行浓缩,随后就可以保存到-80℃。
Cas9慢病毒感染:用8ug/ml polybrene(Sigma)和包装好的Cas9慢病毒感染含108个DKO-AG-haESCs的细胞悬液48小时,然后用10ug/ml的blasticidin(Sigma)进行加药筛选3天,剩余的抗药克隆即为Cas9慢病毒整合的细胞系。
sgRNA慢病毒文库感染:用8ug/ml polybrene(Sigma)和包装好的CRISPR-sgRNA文库慢病毒感染含108个DKO-AG-haESCs的细胞悬液,48小时之后换成1ug/ml puromycin(Invitrogen))的培养基进行药物筛选,筛选2天后得到的阳性即为携带sgRNA文库慢病毒整合的细胞系。
Cas9慢病毒与sgRNA文库慢病毒双感染:
先制备Cas9慢病毒整合的细胞系,而后进一步感染sgRNA慢病毒文库,以1ug/ml puromycin(Invitrogen))的培养基进行药物筛选,筛选2天后得到的阳性即为Cas9慢病毒和sgRNA文库慢病毒整合的细胞系。
如果DKO-AG-haESCs细胞系只感染了sgRNA慢病毒文库,那么细胞就没有Cas9的表达,这个时候我们需要再细胞水平上进行pX330-mCherry质粒的转染,以实现基因组的编辑。1.6亚硫酸盐甲基化测序
1)将小鼠的DNA与15ul 2%LMP agarose(低熔点琼脂糖)包成beads,加入460ul DNA digestion buffer,再加入40ul proteinase K到每个样品,50℃过夜孵育消化样品。
2)TE洗3遍后,用bisulfite溶液与beads反应,50℃孵育4h-8h。
3)以beads为模板进行巢式PCR,PCR产物进行回收后与PMD19-T载体进行连接,转化,涂板
4)每个样品挑取10个菌落进行测序。

1.9ICAHCI、ROSI和胚胎移植构建半克隆小鼠
胞浆内孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞注射(intracytoplasmic AG-haESCs injection,ICAHCI):
为获得半克隆(SC)胚胎,将AG-haESCs用含有0.05μg/ml秋水仙素的培养基处理8h以将细胞同步到M期,然后进行卵胞浆注射。消化好的AG-haESCs用HEPES-CZB培养液洗3遍,然后用3%(w/v)聚乙烯吡咯烷酮(polyvinylpyrrolidone,PVP)的HEPES-CZB培养液重悬。用Piezo显微操作仪将每个M期的AG-haESCs的细胞核注入MII卵子中。重构好的胚胎先在CZB培养液中培养1h,然后用不含CB的激活液激活5-6h。激活之后,所有的重构胚胎在KSOM培养液于37℃,5%CO2条件下进行培养。ICAHCI胚胎在KSOM培养液中培养24h就能到达2细胞期胚胎。
ROSI(球形精子注射):
按照已报道的方法(Kishigami,S.,Wakayama,S.,Nguyen,V.T.,and Wakayama,T.(2004).Similar time restriction for intracytoplasmic sperm injection and round spermatid injection into activated oocytes for efficient offspring production.Biology of reproduction 70,1863-1869)进行操作。
由ICAHCI或ROSI获得的每15-20个2细胞胚胎)移入到0.5dpc(交配后0.5天)假孕ICR小鼠的每个子宫中。母鼠在怀孕19.5天后进行剖腹产或自然生产。剖腹产是针对WT AG-haESCs或单个DMR敲除的AG-haESCs所获得的重构胚胎,到期的胎儿快速从母鼠的子宫中剥离出来。针对ROSI或DKO-AG-haECs所得到的胚胎,怀孕19.5天的母鼠可以进行自然生产。清除掉出生小鼠身上的液体后,小鼠放在有氧气的温箱中,而存活的小鼠则后续由代孕母鼠进行养育。
1.10RNA-seq和基因表达分析
总RNA的RNA-seq建库是根据illumina官方的TreSeq RNA Sample Prep v2Guide进行的。完成后在中科院-马普学会计算生物学研究所计算组学中心的Illumina HiSeq 2000仪器上进行深度测序。2个WT AG-haESCs、
Figure PCTCN2015083165-appb-000034
Figure PCTCN2015083165-appb-000035
以及球形精子共6个样本进行后续的分析
基因表达量使用的RPKM,具体的算法是和(Yang,L.,Duff,M.O.,Graveley,B.R.,Carmichael,G.G.,and Chen,L.L.(2011).Genomewide characterization of non-polyadenylated RNAs.Genome biology 12,R16)一致。
计算差异表达基因的p-value时使用的是(Yang et al.,Genome boil 2011)中waldscore计算的方法,选择abs(waldscore)>1.96(即p-value<0.05),然后筛选差异表达基因。
1.11RRBS(简化表观亚硫酸氢盐测序)
RRBS的建库是R是根据Illumina官方的标准protocol制备的。然后用Illumina HiSeq 2000进行测序(Gu,H.,Smith,Z.D.,Bock,C.,Boyle,P.,Gnirke,A.,and Meissner,A.(2011).Preparation of reduced representation bisulfite sequencing libraries for genome-scale DNA methylation profiling.Nature protocols 6,468-481.)。所有的测序读值与小鼠的基因组进行比对分析。
1.12基因型鉴定方法
抽提好的基因组DNA用相应的引物进行PCR,然后PCR产物进一步进行琼脂糖凝胶电泳分析。

A.H19-DMR及IG-DMR双敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞系构建:
初始细胞:WT-AG-haESCs细胞系AGH-OG-3的第21代AGH-OG-3细胞
已有报道表明,该细胞系第22代已经基本上丧失获得健康的半克隆小鼠的能力(Yang,H.,Shi,L.,Wang,B.A.,Liang,D.,Zhong,C.,Liu,W.,Nie,Y.,Liu,J.,Zhao,J.,Gao,X.,et al.(2012).Generation of genetically modified mice by oocyte injection of androgenetic haploid embryonic stem cells.Cell 149,605-617)
将sgRNA的oligo进行退火,然后将H19和IG-DMR的sgRNA分别与BbsI酶切的px330-mCherry质粒进行连接转化。将测序正确的菌液进行质粒抽提,以备后续转染。

3种类型的DKO-AG-haESCs获得的SC小鼠基因型确定

H19-DMR deletion check–F2:GTGGTTAGTTCTATATGGGG
H19-DMR deletion check–R2:TCTTACAGTCTGGTCTTGGT
IG-DMR deletion check–F:TGTGCAGCAGCAAAGCTAAG
IG-DMR deletion check–R:ATACGATACGGCAACCAACG
采用前述实施例2、4、5的三种方法,构建的三种类型H19-DMR及IG-DMR双敲除的孤雄单倍体胚胎干细胞系,总获得了402只SC小鼠,移植的胚胎达到20.2%的小鼠出生效率。这些DKO-AG-haESCs来源的SC小鼠能够长大成年,并且能够产生后代。对7窝里33只新生小鼠后代进行基因型鉴定发现:13只携带有H19-DMR敲除,11只为WT(图2E)。而另外的9只小鼠有6只为IG-DMR敲除,3只为H19和Gtl2DMR双敲除。这9只小鼠出生不久便死去,这和之前报道的IG-DMR母系遗传会出现出生前或出生后致死的表型相一致(Lin,S.P.,Youngson,N.,Takada,S.,Seitz,H.,Reik,W.,Paulsen,M.,Cavaille,J.,and Ferguson-Smith,A.C.(2003).Asymmetric regulation of imprinting on the maternal and paternal chromosomes at the Dlk1-Gtl2imprinted cluster on mouse chromosome 12.Nature genetics 35,97-102)。

AG-haESCs的基因表达检测及甲基化分析
采用前述1.10和1.7的方法分别进行RNA-seq及基因表达分析。

H19-F:CATGTCTGGGCCTTTGAA
H19-R:TTGGCTCCAGGATGATGT
采用前述1.11的方法进行全基因组甲基化水平分析
Q-PCR的结果显示在DKO-AG-haESCs中H19和Gtl2的表达发生了下调,而Igf2和Dlk1的表达则上调(图S3D)。比较了DKO-AG-haESCs和正常的AG-haESCs以及球形精子的基因表达谱。基于RNA-seq的数据进行聚类发现DKO-AG-haESCs与WT-AG-haESCs表达谱有极高的相似性,但与球形精子相距甚远(图2F、S3E)。进一步分析DKO-AG-haESCs和WT-AG-haESCs的印记基因表达谱,发现DKO-AG-haESCs和WT-AG-haESCs所有的印记基因都有极其相似的表达水平(图2G)。为了进一步评估其表观遗传,进行了简化的表观亚硫酸氢盐测序(RRBS)从全基因组水平范围内看其甲基化水平。正如图2H、S3F和S3G所显示,H19和Gtl2DMRs的敲除并没有改变所有检测到基因和印记基因启动子区域的甲基化水平。总之,我们的结果显示H19和Gtl2DMRs是AG-haESCs获得球形精子类似特性的两大主要障碍。

针对Tet2-mCherry供体的制备,以pmCherry-N1为模板,P2A-fluorescence F:GCCACGAAGCAAGCAGGAGATGTTGAAGAAAACCCCGGGCCTGTGAGCAAGGGCGAGGAG;P2A-fluorescence R:CTTGTACAGCTCGTCCATG为引物扩增到编码mCherry的序列,然后连接到pMD19-T载体上。随后,将目的基因的左右同源臂相应地插入到pMD 19-T-mCherry的载体上mCherry序列的两侧。
TET2 LA(左同源臂):(SEQ ID NO:15)
TET2 RA(右同源臂):(SEQ ID NO:16)
将Tet2的sgRNA质粒与Tet2-mCherry供体这2个质粒共同转入Tet1&3-KI-DAH细胞系中,分选出mCherry阳性的细胞,铺到培养皿中。生长5天后,挑取克隆,传代扩增。建立好的细胞系通过PCR的方法鉴定Tet2-mCherry的敲入情况。阳性的细胞克隆即为Tet-TKI-DAH细胞系。

C.结果
本实例获得内源Tet1、Tet12和Tet3敲入不同荧光报告基团的DKO-AG-haESCs。首先,向DKO-AG-haESCs转入同时表达Cas9和Tet1、Tet3sgRNA(图3A)的质粒以及分别在Tet1和Tet3最后一个终止子融合了EGFP和ECFP报告基团的双链DNA供体载体(图3H和S5A)。总共150个DKO-AG-haESCs细胞系中,分别获得了10株Tet1-EGFP敲入和7株Tet3-ECFP敲入的细胞系(图S5B和S5C)。其中有一株细胞系同时携带Tet1-EGFP和Tet3-ECFP敲入,命名为Tet1&3-KI-DAH-1(图S5D和S5E)。ICAHCI结果显示携带Tet1-EGFP和Tet3-ECFP敲入的DKO-AG-haESCs与WT DKO-AG-haESCs有着相似的半克隆小鼠出生能力(图S5F、S5G、表1和表S3)。接下来,往Tet1&3-KI-DAH-1细胞系中转入表达Cas9和Tet2sgRNA的质粒以及在Tet2基因最后一个终止子融合了mCherry报告基团的双链DNA供体载体(图3A和3H)。从建立的130株细胞系,我们鉴定出了8株Tet2-RFP敲入的单倍体细胞系(命名Tet-TKI-DAH-1to Tet-TKI-DAH-8)(图3I和S5H)。最后,通过ICAHCI的方法验证Tet-TKI-DAH细胞系的发育潜能。相一致地,Tet-TKI-DAH能够通过注射到卵子里高效地获 得存活的半克隆小鼠(图S5S、S5J、表1和表S3)。总之,这些结果表明:利用DKO-AG-haESCs进行多基因遗传操作然后通过ICAHCI获得相应遗传学特性的SC小鼠是一种可行的途径。

等位基因突变检测:
根据sgRNA测序鉴定出插入相应的基因,然后在目的基因sgRNA附近常规方法设计上下游引物,PCR,然后测序。
C.结果
目前,全基因组水平的sgRNA文库已经成功建立,并且运用于人和小鼠细胞水平的基因功能缺失筛选中(Koike-Yusa,H.,Li,Y.,Tan,E.P.,Velasco-Herrera Mdel,C.,and Yusa,K.(2014).Genome-wide recessive genetic screening in mammalian cells with a lentiviral CRISPR-guide RNA library.Nature biotechnology 32,267-273)。本试验证明,DKO-AG-haESCs能够携带sgRNA文库,能通过ICAHCI简单地一步法获得大量的突变小鼠模型(图4A)(这一方法命名为Lenti-sgRNA+pX330)。本试验使用刚建立好并且比较清楚的小鼠慢病毒文库。这个文库针对19,150小鼠编码蛋白的基因设计了87,897个sgRNA。1.0×107FACS富集的单倍体细胞系
Figure PCTCN2015083165-appb-000066
用全基因组sgRNA慢病毒文库进行感染。2天之后,这些感染的细胞用puromycin处理7天,随后转染表达Cas9的pX330-mCherry质粒。表达mCherry的单倍体细胞指示着Cas9的成功转染表达,这种单倍体进行FACS富集后用于进行ICAHCI实验(图4B)。为了检测单倍体的基因是否被CRISPR-Cas9诱导突变,随机挑取了7个单倍体细胞克隆。所有检测的细胞克隆携带有一个sgRNA,DNA测序也发现这些目的基因被突变,这说明单倍体细胞能成功地用CRISPR-Cas9诱导的基因突变。
通过3次独立ICAHCI实验,获得了114只半克隆小鼠(图4E和表2),其中有82只小鼠携带有一个sgRNA(图4F)。sgRNA的PCR产物测序发现43只SC小鼠携带有目的基因一个等位基因的突变,其中有39个是携带导致移码的插入或敲除突变(indel)进而造成一个等位基因的功能缺失(图4G)。有趣地,所有的突变都是一种基因型,说明单倍体细胞在Cas9的瞬时表达后实现了基因的突变。而剩余的39只,虽然携带一个sgRNA,但是在需要突变 的位点没有出现DNA切割,这个效率和之前在人细胞(Zhou,Y.,Zhu,S.,Cai,C.,Yuan,P.,Li,C.,Huang,Y.,and Wei,W.(2014).High-throughput screening of a CRISPR/Cas9library for functional genomics in human cells.Nature 509,487-491)或小鼠胚胎(Wu,Y.,Liang,D.,Wang,Y.,Bai,M.,Tang,W.,Bao,S.,Yan,Z.,Li,D.,and Li,J.(2013).Correction of a genetic disease in mouse via use of CRISPR-Cas9.Cell Stem Cell 13,659-662)中所观察到的相一致。这些数据说明携带sgRNA文库的DKO-AG-haESCs瞬时转染表达Cas9通过ICAHCI可以实现遗传突变向SC小鼠的引入,最终一步获得大量杂合突变的小鼠。

C.结果
本试验通过两轮药物筛选获得Cas9和sgRNA文库持续表达的DKO-AG-haESCs,然后用ICAHCI技术产生SC小鼠(图5A-D)(这一方案命名:Lenti-Cas9+lenti-sgRNA)。ICAHCI重构的1453颗胚胎中有272颗(18.7%)发育到期(图5E),基本上和WT DKO-AG-haESCs或携带不同基因修饰的DKO-AG-haESCs有相似的出生效率(表2),这说明DKO-AG-haESCs经过多次基因遗传操作后仍不影响其获得SC小鼠的能力。总共有224只SC小鼠携带一个sgRNA,并用于后续的基因型分析(图5F和表2)。结果显示有143只SC小鼠发生基因突变,其中有83只是双等位基因突变小鼠(图5G)。获得了60只单等位基因突变的SC小鼠,虽然推测这些小鼠的Cas9应该是处于持续表达的,但由于病毒载体的沉默导致在SC小鼠发育的不同阶段出现Cas9的转录沉默。通过对26只双等位基因突变的SC小鼠进行TA克隆和测序显示约66.3%的克隆都是发生了插入缺失突变(图5H、I)。为了进一步确定SC小鼠整个身体的突变效率,分析了4只SC小鼠不同器官(包括大脑、心脏、肾脏、肝脏和肺)的基因突变情况,发现这些器官均为双等位基因突变。最后对一只携带Scube1基因突变SC小鼠 的不同器官进行TA克隆和测序。结果显示有约80%的克隆都发生插入缺失突变(图5J)。有趣地,这只SC小鼠在出生一小时内便死去,这和之前的关于Scube1突变小鼠出生后不久死去的研究报道相一致(Tu,C.F.,Yan,Y.T.,Wu,S.Y.,Djoko,B.,Tsai,M.T.,Cheng,C.J.,and Yang,R.B.(2008).Domain and functional analysis of a novel platelet-endothelial cell surface protein,SCUBE1.The Journal of biological chemistry 283,12478-12488)。总之,上述实验结果为利用携带sgRNA文库的DKO-AG-haESCs获得大量突变小鼠进而实现小鼠水平上基于基因敲除的大规模筛选这一可能提供了充分的证据,大大简化DKO-AG-haESCs介导的基于基因敲除的筛选过程。
