本実施例では、マイクロRNAのメチル化分析を行った。具体的には以下のとおりである。
本実施例では、がんがRNA修飾に及ぼす影響を分析し、RNA修飾を用いることにより癌を検出または診断することができることを実証した。
ヒト膵臓がん細胞株であるBxPC3、Panc10.5、PSN1およびCapan2をAmerican Type Culture Collection(Manassas, VA, USA)から入手した。これら4つの株についてそれぞれ抗m6A抗体を使用したRIP-Seqによるメチル化miRNA分析を行ったところ、4つの膵臓がん細胞株に共通するメチル化miRNAとして以下の表に示す63種類が見出された。
これらのmiRNAのメチル化はがん(例えば、膵臓がん)の判定に有用に使用され得る。
事前にインフォームド・コンセントを得たヒト患者よりステージ2~4の原発巣のみの大腸がん(3名)の組織検体を手術時に採取した。同時に、健常組織として悪性腫瘍領域から5cm以上離間した領域から組織検体を採取した。
生体メチル化検出
膵臓がん組織において、共通プロトコルの通り、抗m6A抗体を使用したRIP-Seqによってメチル化miRNAを同定した。メチル化が検出されたmiRNAのうちLet-7aおよびmiR-17についてさらに解析を行った。
膵臓がん組織試料に対して、上記のLet-7aおよびmiR-17用の捕捉ビーズで目的のmiRNAを濃縮し、MALDI-TOF-MS/MSによりメチル化を検出した(図11)。その結果、メチル化の位置が決定され、メチル化量の定量も可能であった。
膵臓がん試料におけるこれらのmiRNAのメチル化レベルは、正常組織、正常被験体、および手術によるがんを除去した後の被験体のいずれの対照試料と比較しても上昇していた(図16、17)。
これらのmiRNAのメチル化が高度であることは、がん(例えば、膵臓がん)の指標となり得る。
本実施例では、17名のヒト膵臓がん患者から採取した血清検体を用いてRNA修飾状態を調べた。これらの膵臓がんは、ステージI~IIと診断された早期膵がん(4名がステージIA、5名がステージIIA、7名がステージIIB)であった。正常検体として、健常者の血清検体を使用した。
本実施例では、他のがん試料の分析を行った。
実施例2-2と同様の手法を用いて、種々のがん試料について実施例2-3のRNAの範囲において、メチル化を分析した。事前にインフォームド・コンセントを得たヒト患者より胃がん(4名)の組織検体を手術時に採取した。同時に、健常組織として悪性腫瘍領域から5cm以上離間した領域から組織検体を採取した。
結腸直腸がん患者の特徴付け
*Tumor-node-metastasis(TNM)分類は、TNM staging of the Union for International Cancer Control(https://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/f_guidelines.asp)の第7版に従った。
結腸直腸がん患者における結腸直腸がん組織および正常結腸直腸組織の間でmiRNAのメチル化を比較した。早期大腸がん(StageI)と進行期大腸がん(StageIV)では正常部に比べてメチル化が亢進していることがわかった。
このように、RNAの修飾を観察することで、がん(例えば、大腸がん)の進行の程度が予測され得る。
CTC(circulating tumor cells)の分析
CTC試料を実施例2-3と同様の手法を用いて、このCTC試料について全てのマイクロRNAのメチル化を分析する。
本実施例では、RNA修飾を用いて耐性株が分析できることを実証した。
本実施例では、耐性株(ChmRcell)を作製した。
ATCC、RIKENなどの細胞バンクから入手したがん細胞株DLD-1をトリフルリジン(FTD)(Aldrich-Sigma)(約10mg/mL)の存在下で6ヶ月以上維持培養した。維持培養は、プラスチックディッシュ上で血清10%添加DMEM培地において、37℃で、60~80%コンフエント状態を維持するように、週に約2回継代を行った。この培養細胞についてトリフルリジンに対するIC50を計測した結果、IC50=300μmol/Lという結果が得られ、トリフルリジン耐性株の確立が確認された。
本実施例では、耐性株のRNA修飾分析を行った。
2017-11-30)を用いたペアワイズT-TESTによって評価した。P値<0.05を統計的に有意であるとみなした。その結果、野生株および各耐性株は明確に区別され、また、RNA修飾状態は、RNA発現状態よりも緊密に耐性株の特徴を表していることが示唆された(図20)。
本実施例では、手術、治療や予防などの処置がRNA修飾に及ぼす影響を分析し、RNA修飾の分析により手術、治療や予防などの処置が及ぼす効果を分析した。
本実施例では、手術がRNA修飾に及ぼす影響を調べた。
*表中、RRACモチーフ、およびモチーフと一塩基ミスマッチの配列におけるアデニンを下線で示す。
本実施例では、他の処置がRNA修飾に及ぼす影響を分析し、同様に他の処置の分析が可能かどうかを分析する。例えば、温度、低酸素(例えば1%、+19%は窒素置換)、低栄養(グルコース、グルタミン、アミノ酸の欠乏)、温度(32度~42度の範囲)など、低酸素であれば1%、+19%は窒素置換など)を分析することができる。
(実施例5-1:RNAメチル化がRNA-タンパク質間相互作用に及ぼす影響)
RNAメチル化がRNA-タンパク質間相互作用に及ぼす影響を検討した。
分子ダイナミクスシミュレーション
メチル化および非メチル化miRNA(miR-200c、let-17a、miR-17)のヒトAGO2タンパク質への結合を予測するために、AGO2/RNA複合体のX線構造をガイドとして使用した(PDB ID:4OLB25および4W5N26)。最初に、RNA結合塩基を各miRNA中の対応する塩基と置換した。各miRNA複合体構造について、1気圧および約37℃条件下で分子ダイナミクスシミュレーションを実施した。熱力学的サンプリングの後、構造のドッキングを予測するためにエネルギー最小化を実施した。全ての計算は、Amber12プログラム(http://ambermd.org/)を用いて行った。結果を図25~27に示す。
RNAメチル化が実際に生体に及ぼす影響を検討した。
合成オリゴヌクレオチドのトランスフェクション
メチル化および非メチル化二本鎖RNAオリゴヌクレオチド(miR-200c、let-7a)を、GeneDesign(大阪、日本)に依頼して合成した。これらの合成RNAの配列はMALDI-TOF-MS/MSにより確認した。miRNA配列は、miRBASE(release 21;http://www.mirbase.org/)から入手した。メチル化または非メチル化合成miRNAを、製造者のプロトコルに従ってリポフェクタミン3000(Invitrogen)を用いて内因性miRNAの発現レベルが非常に低いDICERエクソン5破壊大腸癌細胞株HCT116(HCT116EX5)(Bert Vogelstein(Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MS, USA)から譲り受けた)にトランスフェクトした。
Tarbase14(http://diana.imis.athena-innovation.gr/DianaTools/index.php?r=tarbase/index)に報告されているそのmRNAがmiR-200c、let-7aに結合する遺伝子を、標的遺伝子として用いた。miR-200cについては、マイクロアレイによって観察された標的遺伝子の発現レベルを比較した(図28)。let-7aについては、配列から推定して100万リードあたりのエクソンのうちのキロベースあたりのリードについて同様に分析した(図29)。
遺伝子発現プロファイリングによって、非修飾miR-200cおよびm5C修飾miR-200cは強力な遺伝子抑制効果を示すが、m6A修飾miR-200cの遺伝子発現抑制効果は弱く、非メチル化let-7aと比較して、m6A修飾let-7aは標的mRNA発現を減少させないことが分かった。
本実施例では、RNA修飾を用いて遺伝子のノックダウン分析をしうるかどうかを分析した。
本実施例では、RNA修飾を用いて遺伝子のノックダウン分析をしうるかどうかを分析した。ヒト膵臓腺癌細胞株MIA PaCa-2細胞を、shRNA、siRNAを使用した標準的な方法で処理してMettl3ノックダウン細胞株を作製した(Kosuke Taketoら、Int J Oncol.2018 Feb;52(2):621-629を参照のこと)。その後、RIPシークエンシングを行った。
マウスのMettl3遺伝子をCAG発現ベクターに組み込み、これをBL6マウスの受精卵に注入して仮親の子宮に移植してMettl3遺伝子の過剰発現マウスを作製した。マウスの膵臓酵素遺伝子の下流にウイルスタンパク質SVを繋いだベクターを作製し、これをBL6マウスの受精卵に注入して仮親の子宮に移植して膵臓のP53およびRBが不活性化したEL1-SV40マウスを作製した。このように作製したMettl3遺伝子過剰発現マウスと、EL1-SV40マウスとを通常の方法で掛け合わせてダブルトランスジェニックマウスを作製した。その後、PCRなどによってこのダブルトランスジェニックマウスに、目的の遺伝子が組み込まれていることを確認した。マウスの飼育は、通常の動物実験施設においてSPF環境で行った。
本実施例では、がん、認知症、心不全、炎症性腸疾患、老化、腸管免疫の試料において、RNA修飾分析を行う。その結果、RNA修飾情報がこれらの状態の予測に有用であることが示される。
これらの分析のために、例えば、
(1)代謝の鍵酵素であるプロテインキナーゼM(PKM)の遺伝子操作による脳内の酸化的リン酸化反応によるアルツハイマー型認知症のモデルであるマウス、
(2)消化器のがん抑制遺伝子の操作によるモデルで、消化管を含む消化器臓器において、老化や炎症の結果、免疫との相互作用で生じるマウス、を用いて、糞便中のマイクロフローラからリボゾームRNA等のメチル化を調ベる、
(3)がん代謝に関わる遺伝子の改変マウスなどの糞便の調査
などを行うことができる。
本実施例では、RNA修飾による薬剤スクリーニングが可能であることを実証する。
本実施例では、RNA修飾分析を用いた大腸菌の分類が可能かどうかを実証する。
RNA修飾情報を利用することで非常に容易に微生物の種分類が可能であることが見出される。
また、マウスの糞便について、RNA修飾を分析することができる。
その結果、提示した大腸菌種のidentityを分析することができ、マウスの状態と大腸菌の状態の関連を示唆することができる。
その結果、食品中の微生物種(例えば、大腸菌種)を分析でき、食品の品質と大腸菌の状態の関連を示唆することができる。
本実施例では、RNA修飾情報を用いた食品の分析の例を示す。
本実施例では、他のRNA修飾を用いた分析を実証する。
マイクロRNA以外のRNAの修飾情報と、何らかの状態を関連付けるデータを結び付けることができる。例えば、質量分析でのピークは多数あり、1つ1つを手作業で当てることもできるし、機械学習で行うこともできる。また、これらについては、ブルカのMaldiの仕様書を参酌することができる。
本実施例では、RNA修飾情報を他のデータと組み合わせた分析を実証する。
本実施例では、メチル化RNAチップの設計例を用いた分析を実証する。

4.(繰り返し2回目以降で)
理論上の質量の差が前回を上回った場合:今回の配置を採択
