After the vector is transfected into cancer cells, the c-Myc highly expresses in the cells, the c-Myc starts the plasmid to transcribe shRNA aiming at eIF4E by combining with a starting region of the plasmid, so that the expression of eIF4E is reduced, and the expression of the c-Myc is reduced, thereby inhibiting the functions of the cells.

Description

Design and application of eIF4E/c-Myc gene positive feedback loop self-control shRNA silencing vector
Technical Field
The invention relates to biotechnology, in particular to a shRNA vector with self-control property and application of the vector in tumor treatment.
Background
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eukaryotic translation initiation factor, eIF4E) and c-Myc are both expressed at high levels in many tumor tissue cells. c-Myc is a transcription factor, eIF4E is a protein translation regulation factor, and the expression of the two factors is enhanced in the links of transcription and translation respectively to form an eIF4E/c-Myc positive feedback loop. In the past, the RNA interference technology is used for inhibiting eIF4E and c-Myc genes in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma Hep-2, but the siRNA or shRNA used in the research lacks specificity, namely the siRNA or shRNA can generate interference effect on all tissue cells (including tumor cells and normal cells). In fact, in normal tissue cells, eIF4E and c-Myc are expressed in small amounts and play a role in maintaining normal vital activities of cells. If the nonspecific siRNA or shRNA is used for gene therapy of tumors, damage can be caused to normal tissue cells which express c-Myc at a low level, and serious side effects can be caused to cause treatment failure. Therefore, designing and constructing a shRNA plasmid capable of realizing specific self-regulation is one of the methods for solving the problem.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention discloses an eIF4E/c-Myc gene positive feedback loop self-control shRNA silencing vector, which is transfected to a cancer cell with high concentration of c-Myc, and the c-Myc starts plasmid transcription to generate shRNA aiming at eIF4E by combining with a starting region of the plasmid, so that the expression of eIF4E is reduced, and further, the expression of c-Myc is reduced, and the malignant behavior of the tumor cell is inhibited.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
an eIF4E/c-Myc gene positive feedback loop self-controlling shRNA silencing vector comprises: an interfering nucleic acid gene, a promoter, a Kozak gene, an EGFP green fluorescent protein gene, a miR-30E gene, an SV40late pA gene, a gene driving the universal expression of a downstream marker gene, a resistance gene, a gene promoting the transcription termination of an upstream ORF, and a gene of a replication origin.
Further, the interfering nucleic acid sequence comprises Seq NO.1, Seq NO.2, Seq NO. 3.
Further, the promoter comprises 4xc-Myc binding site/miniCMV.
Further, genes driving universal expression of downstream marker genes include CMV promoter;
further, the resistance gene comprises one or more genes of Puro and Ampicillin;
further, genes promoting the termination of transcription of the upstream ORF include BGH pA;
further, the origin of replication gene includes pUC ori.
The 4xc-Myc binding site/miniCMV is a specific promoter of plasmid, which contains 4 CACGTG sequences (4 sequences are added to ensure that the promoter has higher sensitivity and high efficiency), the c-Myc protein can be combined with the CACGTG sequences, once the c-Myc protein in the cell is combined with one CACGTG sequence, the 4xc-Myc binding site/miniCMV is activated to transcribe each downstream gene (the arrow of the 4xc-Myc binding site/miniCMV points to the downstream gene direction). Kozak sequences can promote transcription of downstream genes. EGFP is a green fluorescent protein gene and is used for detecting the efficiency of the plasmid transfected into cells, namely the plasmid can be judged to be transferred into a target cell and express a fluorescent protein by recognizing green fluorescence through a fluorescent microscope. miR-30E can promote maturation and processing of shRNA. Three interference nucleic acid sequences shRNA are inserted into the plasmid to perform high-efficiency interference on the eIF4E gene so as to achieve a better silencing effect. The sequences of shRNA #1, shRNA #2, and shRNA #4(shRNA #3 was discarded due to the cleavage site) were:

SV40late pA: simian Virus 40 terminal polyadenylation signals facilitate the termination of transcription of upstream ORFs. CMV promoter: the human cytomegalovirus early promoter can drive the universal expression of downstream marker genes. Puro: puromycin (Puromycin) resistance gene, which makes the target cell resistant to Puromycin. BGH pA: the bovine growth hormone polyadenylation signal promotes the termination of transcription of upstream ORFs. pUC ori: the pUC origin of replication (the plasmid carrying this gene is present in high copy number in E.coli). Ampicillin: ampicillin resistance gene, which can screen the growth of colibacillus resisting ampicillin to ensure the quality of plasmid and avoid the contamination of mixed bacteria.
The eIF4E/c-Myc gene positive feedback loop self-controlling shRNA silencing vector is used for inhibiting the biological behavior of tumor cells.
Further, the cancer cell is a cancer cell that is a high c-Myc expression cancer cell.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
the prior art directly designs shRNA of c-Myc, silences the c-Myc gene and simultaneously reduces the expression of eIF4E protein; or the shRNA directly designed by eIF4E is studied to reduce the expression of eIF4E and c-Myc protein. The eIF4E/c-Myc positive feedback loop is further developed and utilized, so that shRNA interfering eIF4E has high selectivity, and in a cell highly expressing c-Myc, the c-Myc starts plasmid transcription to generate shRNA aiming at eIF4E by combining with a starting region of the plasmid, so that the expression of eIF4E is reduced, and the expression of c-Myc is reduced, so that the function of the cell is inhibited; in a cell with low expression of c-Myc, the combination probability of the c-Myc and the promoter region of the plasmid is low, the plasmid can not transcribe shRNA aiming at eIF4E, the function of the cell is not inhibited or the inhibition capacity is smaller than that of the cell, and the specificity, namely self-control, of the eIF4E/c-Myc positive feedback loop is realized.

and (4) conclusion:
hela cells are cervical adenocarcinoma cell lines, HPV18 type infection is positive, and c-Myc and eIF4E are expressed at high level in Hela cells. At the molecular level, both eIF4E mRNA and protein expression were reduced, but c-Myc was only protein level reduced, and mRNA did not show a reduction, indicating that c-Myc exerted effects at the eIF4E gene transcript level, while eIF4E exerted a role at the c-Myc mRNA translation level, consistent with the illustrated pattern of regulation between eIF4E and c-Myc. The c-Myc and eIF4E are two important genes for the survival and development of Hela cells, and the proliferation, clone formation, invasion and migration capabilities of the Hela cells are remarkably inhibited after the expression of the c-Myc and eIF4E is reduced.

and (4) conclusion:
the C33A cell is a cervical cancer cell line, HPV infection is negative, and C-Myc and eIF4E are expressed at a low level in C33A compared with Hela cells. After the essence granule is transferred into a C33A cell, the low-level C-Myc has reduced binding capacity with a CACGTG sequence on the plasmid and cannot effectively start the transcription of a downstream gene out of shRNA so as to interfere the expression of eIF 4E. At the molecular level, the levels of eIF4E mRNA and protein in the plasmid interference group were slightly reduced, but the reduction was significantly smaller than that of Hela cells highly expressing c-Myc. The c-Myc mRNA level is increased, and the protein level is not obviously changed, which indicates that a feedback control mechanism exists in the cell gene expression, namely the c-Myc mRNA is increased probably due to cell compensation. C33A cells were independent of eIF4E and C-Myc, and showed no significant changes in proliferation, clonogenic, invasive and migratory capacity following transfection of an autonomous plasmid into the cells. This shows that eIF4E/c-Myc positive feedback loop automatic shRNA silencing plasmid only exerts significant inhibition effect on cells with high expression of c-Myc, but has limited effect on cells with low expression of c-Myc. Thus, normal tissue cells that express little or no c-Myc may not be affected, greatly facilitating the specificity of tumor gene therapy.
