摘要:


文题释义:

Gal抗原:中文全称为α-半乳糖基抗原(α1,3galactosyle,Alpha1,3Gal,或 α-Gal),是半乳糖基与细胞膜上的蛋白或脂结合构成的一组完全性抗原,研究表明Gal抗原是异种移植中引起超急性免疫排斥反应的主要靶抗原。
CRISPR/Cas9基因编辑技术:是指在sgRNA引导下,利用Cas9核酸酶靶向特定DNA序列并产生双链断裂(DSB),通过同源重组修复(HDR)或非同源末端连接(NHEJ)的方式,从而实现基因敲除、敲入和染色体转位等。目前,CRISPR/Cas9系统以其快速、简便、高效的特点已经广泛应用于生命科学领域。

背景:有研究表明一种称为α-Gal的糖抗原是动物源性生物材料或异种器官移植引起超急性免疫排斥反应的主要靶抗原。
目的:研制Gal抗原缺失兔模型,预期用于评价植入性医疗器械,其局部植入后对宿主的局部免疫反应及非特异性炎症反应风险。
方法:选用SPF级6-8月龄新西兰大白兔作为模式动物蓝本,制备Gal抗原缺失兔模型。采用CRISPR/Cas9介导的基因编辑技术,针对调控兔子Gal抗原表达的GGTA1基因第8外显子设计构建2条相辅的sgRNA。经转录后将GGTA1 sgRNA mRNAs与Cas9 mRNA共显微注射到体外培养的兔子受精卵中,继续短暂体外培养后植入代孕母兔体内,经自然妊娠获得仔兔。基因编辑成功与否通过凝胶电泳和基因测序进行验证。Gal抗原的表达参照行业标准给出的方法(YY/T 1561-2017)进行检测。研究经中国食品药品检定研究院实验动物资源研究所动物伦理委员会批准[批准号:中检动(福)第2017(B)007号]。
结果与结论:①基因编辑后的胚胎被转移至4只代孕兔体内,自然妊娠后获得15只基因编辑仔兔,仔兔的外观发育及进食行为等未见异常;②凝胶电泳及基因测序结果显示15只仔兔中有14只的靶向基因被成功编辑,但编辑的碱基并不相同;随机检测其主要脏器Gal抗原,表达均降低了99.96%以上;③结果表明,Gal抗原缺失兔子有望用于动物源性医疗器械的免疫原性风险评价和异种骨、角膜等原位植入实验,以便能够更客观科学地评价动物源性医疗器械的安全性和有效性。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: α-Galactosyl (α-Gal) is the main target antigen in hyperacute rejection resulting from animal tissues or xenotransplantation. 
OBJECTIVE: To develop a Gal antigen-deficient rabbit model in order to objectively evaluate the immunogenicity risk of animal-derived biomaterials and the local response to implantation in the host. 
METHODS: New Zealand white rabbits, SPF grade, 6-8 months old, were selected as model animals to prepare Gal antigen-deficient rabbits. Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing technology, two complementary sgRNAs were designed and constructed for the 8th exon of GGTA1 gene to regulate Gal antigen expression in rabbits. After transcription, GGTA1 sgRNA mRNAs and Cas9 mRNA were co-microinjected into in vitro cultured rabbit fertilized eggs, which were then implanted into surrogate mother rabbits after a brief in vitro culture, and the neonatal rabbits were obtained by natural pregnancy. The success of gene editing was verified by gel electrophoresis and gene sequencing. The expression of Gal antigen was detected with reference to the method given by the industry standard (YY/T 1561-2017). The study protocol was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee of the Laboratory Animal Resources Laboratory of the National Institutes for Food and Drug Control (approval No. 2017(B)007).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The embryos were transferred to four surrogate rabbits after gene editing. FIfteen gene-edited pups were obtained after natural pregnancy. The appearance and feeding behavior of the pups were not abnormal. Gel electrophoresis and gene sequencing results showed that 14 out of 15 rabbits were successfully edited, but the edited bases were not the same. The Gal antigen of the main organs was detected randomly, and its expression was reduced by more than 99.96%. Therefore, Gal-antigen-deficient rabbits are expected to be used for immunogenic risk assessment of animal-derived medical devices and in situ implantation experiments of heterogeneous bone and cornea, in order to be able to more objectively and scientifically evaluate the safety and effectiveness of animal-derived medical devices.
