Tissue-specific promoter
Invention field
The present invention relates to the associating of prostate gland gene promoter and general enhanser SV40 enhanser, thereby be created in and activatedly in the prostatic cell do not rely on androgenic promotor substantially, these prostatic cells they growth and existence in be do not rely on androgenic.
Background of invention
Leading many genes of expressing in male prostate gland have been identified.Utilize rotaring dyeing technology or in transgenic mice after the expressing gene after deliberation the promotor and the regulatory region of many such genes.The gene that great majority are accredited as prostate specific is that male sex hormone is derivable, and the aspect of their function has at length been studied.So, antigen (PSA) (Cleutjens, the people such as Vaneekelen of prostate-specific, 1996, Riegman, people such as Vliestra, 1991), people's gland kallikrein (KLK2) (Murtha, people such as Tindall, 1993), rat prostate steroid binding protein matter (PSBP) (Claessens, people such as Rushmere, 1990; Rushmere, people such as Parker, 1987), Probasin (Pb) (Kasper, people such as Rennie, 1990; Rennie, people such as Bruchovsky, 1993), with prostate acid phosphatase gene (Virkkunen, people such as Hedberg, 1994), in regulatory element in the intron of P of Rats SBPC3 (1) gene, regulate the abduction delivering of having identified the male sex hormone response element in the albumen (Ho, people such as Marschke, 1993) with rat 20 kilodalton male sex hormones and/or in conjunction with the importance of androgen receptor.
Though the organizing specific factor in conjunction with the zone of the PSBP C3 gene promoter and first intron has obtained identifying, but giving the element of the prostate specific that is different from the male sex hormone responsiveness of expression, participation also do not have fine evaluation (Celis, people such as Claessens, 1993; Zhang, people such as Parker, 1990).P of Rats SBP C (3) gene with 4kb upstream and 2kb downstream side joint sequence tissue specificity ground and under suitable hormone control, obtain expressing (Allison, people such as Zhang, 1989) in transgenic mice.Is used to express SV40T-antigen and can causes tumor of prostate, but expression not height-limited system that other error state (ERST) is common (Maroulakou, people such as Anver, 1994) from the 5kb upstream of rat PSBP C3 (1) gene.Utilize the definite probasin of research of transgenic mice and the zone of PSBP C (3) gene can give prostate specific.
PSA and probasin regulatory region are that two researchs are maximum in the prostate gland expressing gene.The 430bp district that has determined the upstream of rat probasin gene can give prostate specific (Greenberg, people such as Demayo, 1994 that reporter gene is expressed; Matusik; WO9403594); When being used for the antigenic target of SV40T and expressing, (Greenberg, people such as Demayo, 1995) take place in tumor of prostate specifically.This expression is not always special, but specificity is obviously by comprising from the MAR (matrix attachment regions) of chicken lysozyme gene and improve (Greenberg, people such as Demayo, 1994).The 430bp promoter region is replied male sex hormone consumingly and is induced, and has obtained identifying (Claessens, people such as Rushmere, 1990 in conjunction with the male sex hormone response element of androgen receptor (AR); Kasper, people such as Rennie, 1994; Matusik, WO9403594; Rennie, people such as Bruchovsky, 1993).Negative regulatory region between base-426 and-286 has also obtained identifying (Rennie, people such as Bruchovsky, 1993).
The PSA upstream (to-630bp) also the strong male sex hormone responsiveness promotor of conduct works and has also identified the male sex hormone response element.But this district is not enough to instruct organizing specific expression in transgenic mice.Utilize this 630bp people PSA promoter region in transgenic mice, to express and activatory Ha-ras oncogene causes the growth (Schaffner, people such as Barrios, 1995) of sialisterium rather than tumor of prostate.In 4 to 5kb districts of transcription initiation site upstream, identified the enhancing subarea recently.Proved that the PSA enhanser can be used as male sex hormone and can induce enhanser and show tangible cell type specificity (Henderson, WO9519434 in conjunction with the PSA promotor; Schuur, people such as Henderson, 1996).People such as same Pang have reported to compare with open sequence when promoter region from the isolating grade of prostate cancer patient contains 7 sudden changes, and is overactive (Belldegrun and Pang, WO9614875 in prostate cancer cell line LNCaP; Pang, people such as Taneja, 1995).
Virus SV40 enhanser is the enhanser of first evaluation, and is identified widely.No matter in the upstream of gene or the downstream it have from various promotor and strengthen the characteristic of expressing, and function is all arranged at both direction.The SV40 enhanser has been used for the report limited amount that is connected with steroid responsiveness promotor.For example, Israel and Kaufman (Israel and Kaufman1989) have reported the expression of induced by dexamethasone in the construct (reaching 17 times), and this construct is with SV40 enhanser and the glucocorticosteroid response element combination of adenovirus major late promoter with the different copy numbers that originate from mouse mastocarcinoma tumour virus LTR promotor/enhanser.People such as Wynshaw-Boris (Wynshaw-Boris, people such as Short, 1986) have found that the SV40 enhanser is less to the influence of the basic transcription level (about 6 times) of the glucocorticoid inducible of rat phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene.Find sequence mediation in the gene of rat growth hormone gene 3 to 5 times of glucocorticosteroids to induce when existing or not having the SV40 enhanser be suitable (Birnbaum and Baxter1986).In another case, the glucocorticosteroid effect district that observes the tyrosine aminotransferase gene can give 2 to 3 times of glucocorticoid inducibles of SV40 enhanser/early promoter (Grange, people such as Roux, 1989).These examples show when SV40 enhanser association class sterol responsiveness promotor exists, have seen successive steroid effect usually.
Male sex hormone inductive gene probasin that the inventor has expressed SV40 enhanser and two prostate glands and the promoter region of PSA are combined in the various constructs.The substance that they have observed the inductive basic horizontal of promotor increases, and corresponding male sex hormone induced activity level does not increase.So promotor/enhanser associating now is not that male sex hormone relies on substantially, but has kept their specificity mode for the expression in prostate gland and the non-prostatic cell.So the probasin/SV40 enhanser is united and has been shown substantial prostate specific, and the PSA/SV40 enhanser to unite be random.

CAT and SAT test:
After transfection, utilized PBS rinsing cell 3 times in 44-48 hour, and by blowing into 1.5 milliliters of centrifuge tubes and centrifugal collecting cell in short-term.Containing 60 microlitres, the 0.1 mol Tris HCl of 500 micro-molar concentration Pefabloc proteinase inhibitor (Boehringer), re-suspended cell precipitation among the pH7.5.By three circulating frozens and the dissolved cell that thaws, shard is 5 minutes in little whizzer.Get supernatant liquor and carry out the SAT test, heated remaining extracts 10 minutes at 65 ℃.Shard is used for CAT test (Sleigh 1986) with supernatant liquor once more.The non-heat extraction substrate that adds is used for the active test of serine acetyltransferase.Reaction mixture (20 microlitre) contains 2 or 4 microlitre cell extracts, 1 mmole/rise acetyl-CoA and contain the 200 micromoles per liter Serines (Amersham, 50 millicurie/milliliters, 150 millicuries/mmole) of 0.1 microcurie 14C Serine.Between 20 and 120 minutes, get aliquots containig, by heating 3 minutes stopped reaction at 95 ℃.By the thin-layer chromatography reaction product isolated, and carry out phosphorus imaging analysis (molecular dynamics).Utilize ImageQuant software to determine the transforming degree of Serine to acetylserine.The ratio of RSVCAT and RSVSAT can be used for proofreading and correct the promoter activity with respect to the RSV promotor in the contrast transfection of each experiment.
Promoter activity
Fig. 2 has shown the activity of the construct of the SV40 enhanser that contains Pb430 promotor and different arrangements in the different cell types.Promotor has shown low activity separately in the LNCaP prostate cell line, and single promotor has shown negligible activity in the PC-3 clone that lacks androgen receptor.The androgen receptor cotransfection causes intense stimulus to be expressed in the PC-3 cell, has shown the critical androgen-dependent of promotor.In non-prostate cell line, in mastocarcinoma cell line mcf-7 and hepatic cell line HepG2, seen slight activity.For all four constructs that contain enhanser, in most cell types, seen the enhanced expression.At PC-3, seen the most tangible enhancing in DU145 and the TsuPr prostate cell line, the expression in these clones is the 10-60% of RSV promotor.When lacking the cotransfection of androgenic acceptor, seen high-caliber expression.Really, when the androgen receptor cotransfection, find that usually perhaps activity is low, reflected the competition between binding factor or stimulation approach in the PC-3 cell.In DU145 and TsuPr clone, seen same effect (data not shown).Pb430SVa, SVaPb430 and SVbPb430 construct have shown in prostate gland PC-3 and DU145 cell than high 3.5 to the 6 times expression of any other test cell type.Clone in secretion property epidermis source has been seen the highest expression in the non-prostatic cell type among mastocarcinoma cell line mcf-7 and the bladder cancer cell lines BL13.Should be noted that in MCF-7 clone and expressed androgen receptor.For example for the SVbPb430 construct, in other clone, 293 (kidneys), low 20 times at least of the expression among MRC5 (lung fibroblast) and the HepG2 (liver).Other experiment has been presented at that the AR gene co-transfection has also activated the Pb430 promotor in most of non-prostate cell lines.With the functional similarity in the PC-3 cell, not the having or reduce a lot of demands of Pb430/SV40 enhanser to the AR gene co-transfection in conjunction with showing.So probasin promotor/SV40 enhanser is in conjunction with the basic specificity of expressing in the not dependent prostatic cell of PC-3 male sex hormone with respect to other cell type is provided.Comparing high level expression with single probasin promotor does not need to exist androgen receptor that practicality is obviously improved, because these combinations will activate in androgen independent cancer cells, and can use in the male sex hormone surgical blanking treatment that continues to design for the tumour cell of removing the male sex hormone dependence.
Embodiment 2
Utilize the Pb286CATSAT construct and at the various cell type of the plasmid transfection that contains the SV40 enhanser in the upstream of Pb286 promotor of both direction.
Fig. 4 has shown the result of transfection.As the Pb430 promotor, the Pb286 promotor is expressed in the PC3 cell very weakly, but expresses very high when utilizing the androgen receptor cotransfection.Equally, when lacking androgen receptor, Pb286 promotor and SV40 enhanser be combined in high expression level in the PC-3 cell.For SVb enhanser direction, expression be when having androgen receptor observed expression 70%, and for the SVa direction, be expressed in and reduce (being similar to the Pb430 construct) when having AR.Although express height in the non-prostatic cell type of expression ratio in the PC-3 cell, the specificity of expressing is lower than observed Pb430 construct expression specificity.So, need male sex hormone to induce this point in removal from promoter expression, the influence of enhanser is same as observed Pb430 construct.
Embodiment 3
Reduce from the expression of the PSA promoter construct that mixes the SV40 enhanser demand AR
By separately or in conjunction with the AR gene transfection, in many clones, detected from promoter construct PSA630 the expression of PSA630SVa and PSA630SVb.In Fig. 5, shown the result.In all cells type of research, when having AR, find obviously to strengthen from the expression of PSA630 promotor.But induce level difference very big.In similar all cells type, when having AR, the construct that contains the SV enhanser of 3 ' the both direction that is positioned at the CAT gene has shown that the enhancement of expressing reduces.The scope of the influence of AR in different situations is to be induced to twice from three times to suppress.Unique exception is in the MGF-7 cell, wherein strengthens respectively for SVa and SVb construct AR and expresses 5.8 and 4.3 times, and be 10 times when lacking enhanser.Although these constructs based on PSA630 have shown very low prostate specific, the SV40 enhanser is similar to influence to the Pb promotor to the influence from this male sex hormone responsiveness promoter expression, expresses promptly that to become be that male sex hormone is ind basically.
Embodiment 4
Cut out SVbPb430 promotor box with the SalI-XbaI fragment from pSVbPb430CATSAT, and flat endization.It is cloned in plasmid pXCX3/PSAPNPase (people such as Lockett again, the front of intestinal bacteria purine nucleoside phosphatase (PNP) gene 1997), this plasmid is cut with KpnI and HindIII enzyme, and flat endization is removed the PSA promotor and utilized the SpeI enzyme to cut the peace endization subsequently with being connected again.Be used to make up the recombinant human 5 type adenovirus (Fig. 6) that are carried at the PNP gene under the control of SVbPb430 adjusting sequence by reorganization then.As described in people such as Lockett (1997), carry out genetic manipulation and virus formulation.PNP gene transformation prodrug 6-methyl purine-2-deoxyribosyl nucleosides becomes toxic product 6-methyl purine.The 6-methyl purine can be by mixing cause death cell and because it is uncharged, it can spread and deadly cell (" onlooker " effect) of not expressing enzyme of RNA and DNA between cell.
Activity and the specificity of virus of A d5SVbPb430PNP and virus of A d5PSAPNP are suitable in mediation prodrug dependent cell causes death, and afterwards the PNP expression of gene is under the control of the promotor of prostate specific antigen (PSA) gene in the virus.(24 hole flat board) every hole sowing cell about 10 in 16 millimeters holes
5, after 24 hours, with the proportional range adding virus (referring to Fig. 7) of 1 to 200 plaque forming unit (pfu)/cell.Exist in independent virus, virus adds 50 micromoles per liter 6-MPDR, or 6-MPDR incubation cell when independent.Utilize AlamarBlue test after 6 days, to determine cell growth and viability by measuring metabolic activity.Do not observe the independent effect of medicine.When high dosage viral, see some effects of independent virus, and in Fig. 7 the cell-lethal effect calibration viral individual effect.
Can see that Ad5SVbPb430PNP is more effective than Ad5PSAPNP when deadly prostate gland PC-3 cell; When importing, low at least 10 times of viruses seen inhibition of equal value.Do not see same difference in the lethal effect for non-prostatic cell MRC-5 and HepG2; Two kinds of virus shown equate to the HepG2 cell inhibiting; And only see at the metabolic activity that utilizes Ad5SVbPb430PNP to infect back MRC-5 cell at the highest viral testing level (200pfu) and significantly reducing.The virus input that suitable cell-lethal effect degree needs is higher 5 to 10 times than PC-3 prostate cell line for non-prostatic cell.
So in the process of the enzyme-prodrug therapy that virus is sent, the SVbPb430 promotor provides with the PSA promotor and compared the activity that improves in prostatic cell, and has shown the obvious selectivity for prostatic cell.
Be understood that in these embodiments, these promotors/enhanser are in conjunction with being new and having higher practicality than original promotor because they can male sex hormone responsiveness and male sex hormone not the dependency prostatic cell and when lacking male sex hormone (in the cancer patient that is carrying out the treatment of male sex hormone surgical blanking) to be specific to the expression of prostatic mode controlling gene.This is particularly important in the expression of therapeutic gene in the androgen independent prostate cancer of gene therapy for example.
Be understood that construct of the present invention also can be used for surgical intervention (cutting) or the use male sex hormone is synthetic or the patient of the inhibitor of effect.Especially, such male sex hormone blocking treatment can continue and not influence the activity of these promotors basically.
What one skilled in the art should appreciate that is can produce many variations and/or modification to the present invention shown in special embodiment and do not break away from the spirit or scope of the present invention.So it is illustrative and not restrictive that the present embodiment should be considered to.
