重组酶介导的定点整合及在构建重组CHO细胞中的应用

中国仓鼠卵巢细胞(Chinese hamster ovary cells,CHO)是生产治疗性重组蛋白最常用的细胞。随机整合(random integration,RI)工艺是目前构建重组CHO细胞株的主要策略,由于CHO细胞基因组缺乏稳定性,为得到产量高、品质好且适应特定工艺的细胞株,通常需要1~2轮高通量筛选,不仅工作量大、耗时长且批次稳定性差。定点整合(site-specific integration,SSI)基因编辑技术将外源基因整合至细胞基因组的特定位点,经一轮筛选得到稳定、高产且适应特定生产工艺的细胞株,从而缩短细胞株构建周期。近年来,不断有将定点整合策略应用于构建重组CHO细胞株的报道。基因编辑技术的发展是实现细胞外源基因定点整合工艺的基础,常用的基因编辑技术包括核酸酶技术、转座子技术和重组酶技术。比较这三种基因编辑技术在构建流程、整合效率和专利等方面的不同特点,重点讨论重组酶介导的定点整合及其在CHO细胞株构建中的应用。

拟南芥LEAFY基因在花发育中的网络调控及其生物学功能

重点综述了拟南芥花分生组织特征基因——LEAFY（LFY）基因及其同源基因在花发育中的网络调控及其生物学功能。LFY基因广泛表达于高等植物的营养性和生殖性组织。LFY基因需要与其他基因相互作用,並且表达量达到一定水平时才能促进成花。LFY基因处于成花调控网络的关键位置,不仅调控开花时间和花转变,而且在花序和花的发育中也起重要作用。碳源、植物激素等因子直接或间接地影响LFY基因的表达和作用。提示通过掌握LFY基因的表达调控规律进一步探讨成花机理的可行性。 Abstract:Recent research progress on regulation network and biological roles of LFY gene in Arabidopsis thaliana and its homologue genes in floral development are reviewed emphatically in the present paper.LFY gene expresses widely in both vegetative and reproductive tissues in different higher plants,therefore investigation on role of LFY gene on flowering is of general significance.LFY gene plays an important role to promote flower formation by interaction and coordination with other genes,such as TFL,EMF,AP1,AP2,CAL,FWA,FT,AP3,PI,AG,UFO,CO,LD,GA1 etc,and a critical level of LFY expression is essential.LFY gene not only controls flowering-time and floral transition,but also plays an important role in inflorescence and floral organ development.It was situated at the central site in gene network of flowering regulation,positively or negatively regulates the level or activities of flowering-related genes.Some physiological factors,such as carbon sources,phytohormones,affect directly or indirectly the expression and actions of LFY gene.This indicates that level of LFY expression can also be regulated with physiological methods.It is probable that we can explain the principal mechanism of flowering by regulation network of LFY gene.     

One-step knockin for inducible expression in mouse embryonic stem cells

Transgenesis enables the elucidation of gene function; however, constant transgene expression is not always desired. The tetracycline responsive system was devised to turn on and off transgene expression at will. It has two components: a doxycycline (dox)-controlled transactivator (TA) and an inducible expression cassette. Integration of these transgenes requires two transfection steps usually accomplished by sequential random integration. Unfortunately, random integration can be problematic due to chromatin position effects, integration of variable transgene units, and mutation at the integration site. Therefore, targeted transgenesis and knockin were developed to target the TA and the inducible expression cassette to a specific location, but these approaches can be costly in time, labor, and money. Here, we describe a one-step Cre-mediated knockin system in mouse embryonic stem cells that positions the TA and inducible expression cassette to a single location. Using this system, we show dox-dependent regulation of eGFP at the DNA topoisomerase 3β promoter. Because Cre-mediated recombination is used in lieu of gene targeting, this system is fast and efficient.     

采用花器喷雾法并基于Cre/lox系统定点整合拟南芥Rps2基因的技术体系研究

To improve site?specific integration technology system, site?specific integration of Rps2 target gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (Linn.) Heynh. was carried out based on Cre/lox system by floral spraying method. The results show that 1495 site?specific integration candidate plants are obtained by this method with a site?specific integration efficiency of about 0076%. After PCR and histochemical staining experiment verification, the positive plants of precise integration account for 8604%, in which, 6334% positive plants are single copy transformed plants. The results of quantitative real?time PCR (qRT?PCR) and hypersensitive reaction (HR) show that the site?specific integrated Rps2 gene can be transcribed and expressed normally. It is suggested that this system can greatly improve the stability and efficiency of site?specific integration genetic transformation system in plants.     

New methods for tightly regulated gene expression and highly efficient chromosomal integration of cloned genes for Methanosarcina species

A highly efficient method for chromosomal integration of cloned DNA into Methanosarcina spp. was developed utilizing the site-specific recombination system from the Streptomyces phage φC31. Host strains expressing the φC31 integrase gene and carrying an appropriate recombination site can be transformed with non-replicating plasmids carrying the complementary recombination site at efficiencies similar to those obtained with self-replicating vectors. We have also constructed a series of hybrid promoters that combine the highly expressed M. barkeri PmcrB promoter with binding sites for the tetracycline-responsive, bacterial TetR protein. These promoters are tightly regulated by the presence or absence of tetracycline in strains that express the tetR gene. The hybrid promoters can be used in genetic experiments to test gene essentiality by placing a gene of interest under their control. Thus, growth of strains with tetR-regulated essential genes becomes tetracycline-dependent. A series of plasmid vectors that utilize the site-specific recombination system for construction of reporter gene fusions and for tetracycline regulated expression of cloned genes are reported. These vectors were used to test the efficiency of translation at a variety of start codons. Fusions using an ATG start site were the most active, whereas those using GTG and TTG were approximately one half or one fourth as active, respectively. The CTG fusion was 95% less active than the ATG fusion.

Establishment of a rapid and scalable gene expression system in livestock by site-specific integration

Somatic cell-mediated transgenesis is routinely used to transfer exogenous genes to livestock genomes. However, transgene insertion events are essentially random which may lead to transgene silencing or alter animal phenotype because of insertional mutagenesis. To overcome these problems, we established a gene manipulation system in goat somatic cells based on homologous recombination and flp recombinase-mediated site-specific integration. First, we performed gene targeting to introduce an frt-docking site into the α1 (I) procollagen (ColA1) locus in goat somatic cells. Second, the targeted cell clones were rejuvenated by embryo cloning, and the vigorous cells with targeted frt were reestablished. Third, a gene-replacement system was used to introduce an EGFP reporter gene into the targeted ColA1 locus via flp mediated recombination. As a result, the transgenic somatic cell exhibited faithful expression of EGFP gene under control of the CMV promoter. Similarly, other expression vectors can be introduced into the defined site to evaluate gene functions or express valuable proteins. The gene manipulation system described here will be applicable in other livestock somatic cells, and would allow for the rapid generation of livestock with transgene targeted to the defined site.
