To further investigate whether the inhibition of Ng
Ago on HBV replication is dependent on its genome editing function, T7E1 assay was carried out to detect nucleotide insert or deletion (Indel) in S-142, P-263 and P-2166 targeting region. Unfortunately, we failed to detect any cleavage in these sites (Fig. 2A). Further Sanger sequencing also uncovered any DNA sequence mutation (Fig. 2B). Similarly, we did not detect expected cleavage band by T7E1 assay (Fig. S1D) and sequence alternative at EGFP-gDNA targeting region by Sanger sequencing (Fig. S1E),
However, mRNA level of GFP was obviously down-regulated after cotransfection of
Flag-coNgAgo and EGFP-gDNA (Fig. S1F). Thus, based
on the protocol from Gao et al.[韩春雨去年5月份发表], we did not found that NgAgo-gDNA system has strong DNA editing ability. This phenomenon was highly similar with recent report that NgAgo/ fabp11a-gDNA without DNA editing ability still induces eye developmental defects in zebrafish through inhibiting fabp11a transcription (Qi et al., 2016)[王永明]. However, the exact reason for this divergence with Gao’s report remains to be an open question.
Due to failure in detecting DNA editing ability of NgAgo-gDNA, we further
investigated whether NgAgo/HBV gDNA affect the turnover rate of the pregenomic RNA. As shown in Fig. 2C, after treatment with ActD, the pgRNA showed time-dependent decrease in pcDNA-HBV1.1-transfected
Huh7 cells either cotransfected with HBV noncomplementary control guide DNA (HBV-NCG) or HBV specific gDNAs P-2166, S-751 due to mRNA degradation. However, in pcDNA-HBV1.1 transfected Huh7 cell, transfection of
P-2166 gDNA together with coNgAgo led to an obvious decline of pgRNA half-life (6 h in P-2166 group versus 10 h in HBV-NCG group), while transfection of S-751 had no significant effect on pgRNA degradation. Our results are consistent with the published data from Sunghyeok Ye et al, in which they found NgAgo induced DNA-guided gene knockdown through its DNA-dependent RNA cleavage activity in a targeted manner not DNA editing ability (Sunghyeok Ye, et al., 2017). Thus, it was speculated that NgAgo-gDNA might restrict HBV replication mainly through gDNA mediated RNA interference of pgRNA.
In summary, these results firstly demonstrate the potential of NgAgo/gDNA in
inhibiting HBV replication. The inhibitory effect is obviously associated with gDNA targeting region. Despite of significant decrease of HBsAg, HBeAg and pgRNA level, we failed to detect any DNA editing ability of NgAgo. Finally, we demonstrated that NgAgo/gDNA significantly shortened the half-life of HBV pregenomic RNA. Our results demonstrate that NgAgo/gDNA exhibited inhibition in HBV replication mainly through gDNA-induced pgRNA degradation based on the protocol from Gao et al. (Gao et al., 2016), which might provide the interesting clues for the application of NgAgo/gDNA system in controlling virus infection.
文章摘录
进一步调查是否抑制Ng
HBV复制依赖于其基因组编辑功能,进行T7E1检测以检测S-142,P-263和P-2166靶向区域中的核苷酸插入或缺失(Indel)。不幸的是,我们未能检测到这些位点的任何切割(图2A)。进一步的Sanger测序也揭示了任何DNA序列突变(图2B)。类似地,我们没有通过Sanger测序在TFPE测定(图S1D)和EGFP-gDNA靶向区域的序列替代方法检测到预期的切割带(图S1E),
然而,共转染后GFP的mRNA水平明显下调
Flag-coNgAgo和EGFP-gDNA(图S1F)。因此,基于
根据Gao等人的方案,我们没有发现NgAgo-gDNA系统具有很强的DNA编辑能力。这一现象与最近有报道称,没有DNA编辑能力的NgAgo / fabp11a-gDNA通过抑制fabp11a转录而在斑马鱼中仍然引起眼睛发育缺陷,这一点非常相似(Qi等,2016)。然而,与高报的这个分歧的确切原因仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。
由于检测不到NgAgo-gDNA的DNA编辑能力,我们进一步
研究NgAgo / HBV gDNA是否影响前基因组RNA的周转率。如图所示。 2C,用ActD处理后,pgRNA显示pcDNA-HBV1.1转染的时间依赖性降低
Huh7细胞与HBV非互补控制指导DNA(HBV-NCG)或HBV特异性gDNAs P-2166,S-751由于mRNA降解共转染。然而,在pcDNA-HBV1.1转染的Huh7细胞中,转染
P-2166 gDNA与coNgAgo一起导致pgRNA半衰期明显下降(P-2166组6 h,HBV-NCG组10 h),S-751转染对pgRNA降解无显着影响。我们的结果与Sunghyeok Ye等人发表的数据一致,发现NgAgo通过其DNA依赖性RNA切割活性以DNA编辑能力的方式诱导DNA引导基因敲除(Sunghyeok Ye,et al。,2017 )。因此,据推测,NgAgo-gDNA可能主要通过gDNA介导的pgRNA RNA干扰来限制HBV复制。
总之,这些结果首先证明了NgAgo / gDNA的潜力
抑制HBV复制。抑制作用明显与gDNA靶向区相关。尽管HBsAg,HBeAg和pgRNA水平显着降低,但我们未能检测到NgAgo的任何DNA编辑能力。最后,我们证实了NgAgo / gDNA显着缩短了HBV前基因组RNA的半衰期。我们的研究结果表明,NgAgo / gDNA主要通过Gao等人的方案,通过gDNA诱导的pgRNA降解来表现出HBV复制的抑制作用。 (Gao et al。,2016),这可能为NgAgo / gDNA系统在控制病毒感染中的应用提供了有趣的线索。 |
