Description

Method for improving artemisinin content in sweet wormwood herb by transferring ICS1 gene
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for improving artemisinin content in the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method for improving artemisinin content in sweet wormwood herb by transferring ICS1 gene.
Background
Artemisia annua L is an annual herb of Artemisia of Compositae. The sesquiterpene lactone oxide containing peroxide bridge extracted from the aerial parts of the plant, namely artemisinin, is the antimalarial drug which is the most widely applied and has the best curative effect at present, and is particularly more effective for treating cerebral malaria and chloroquine malaria. Artemisinin Combination Therapies (ACTs) are currently the most effective treatment for malaria recommended by the world health organization. With the progress of pharmacological research on artemisinin, scientists found that artemisinin and its derivatives also have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-cancer and immunomodulatory effects.
However, the content of artemisinin in the plant artemisia apiacea is very low, the large-scale commercial production is limited, and the global market demand cannot be completely met. The artemisinin has complex structure, high artificial synthesis difficulty, low yield, high cost and no feasibility. The production of the artemisinin by the yeast engineering has the disadvantages of high early investment cost and limited yield and cannot meet the requirements. The prior art shows that plant genetic engineering provides a feasible method for improving the content of artemisinin in sweet wormwood herb.
Artemisia annua has secretory glandular hairs (glandular trichomes) and non-secretory glandular hairs (nonglandular trichomes). Secretory glandular hairs are abundantly present on the front and back of the leaves of Artemisia annua, stems, flowers, where a large amount of secondary metabolites accumulate, and artemisinin is also thought to be stored.
Salicylic Acid (SA) is an important plant hormone, plays a very important role in the growth and development of plants, and is closely related to the disease-resistant defense of plants. Isochorismate synthase (ICS) is one of the key enzymes in the salicylic acid synthesis pathway in plants, and is responsible for converting chorismate into Isochorismate, which is then further synthesized into the final product salicylic acid. The ICS1 gene is associated with stress resistance regulated by salicylic acid. The ICS1 mutant study shows that the endogenous salicylic acid content of the plant with deletion of the ICS1 gene is also extremely low. Therefore, cloning the ICS1 gene and transforming the artemisia apiacea has important significance for researching the metabolic coordination of a salicylic acid synthesis pathway and an artemisinin pathway and breeding by genetic engineering.
The invention aims to obtain the sweet wormwood plant with high artemisinin yield by adopting a genetic engineering means and provides a new way for large-scale production of artemisinin.

As shown in FIG. 1, the content of artemisinin in the ICS1 transgenic Artemisia annua can reach 15.2mg/g of dry weight at most and is 1.90 times of that in non-transformed common Artemisia annua (8mg/g dry weight). CK in the figure represents non-transformed normal Artemisia annua; pHB-AaICS1-6, 15, 30 and 31 represent different transgenic lines.
In the embodiment, the content of artemisinin in transgenic artemisia apiacea is measured by an HPLC-ELSD method, and the artemisia apiacea plant with high artemisinin yield is obtained by a metabolic engineering strategy of transforming ICS1 gene, so that an ideal method is provided for large-scale production of artemisinin.
