Description

一种脑胶质瘤生物标记物MLKL基因及其应用A kind of glioma biomarker MLKL gene and its application 技术领域technical field

本发明属于生物医药技术领域，具体涉及一种潜在的脑胶质瘤生物标记物MLKL基因及其应用，包括MLKL在恶性胶质瘤诊断、治疗以及预后中的应用。The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and specifically relates to a potential glioma biomarker MLKL gene and its application, including the application of MLKL in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of malignant glioma.

背景技术Background technique

胶质瘤是成年人最常见的中枢神经系统原发性肿瘤，约占恶性的脑及其他中枢神经系统肿瘤的50％，具有恶性程度高、进展快、易复发等特点。根据传统的世界卫生组织(WHO)分级，胶质瘤根据组织学特征大致分为四级，包括较低级别胶质瘤(Lower Grade Glioma,LGG)及IV级胶质母细胞瘤(Glioblastoma,GBM)。我国脑胶质瘤的年发病率为5-8/10万，5年病死率在全身肿瘤中仅次于胰腺癌和肺癌。GBM是胶质瘤中恶性程度最高的类型，综合发病高峰在30-40岁，平均进展时间6.9个月，患者总生存期平均仅有14.6个月，5年生存率不足3％，给个人、家庭、社会带来沉重的负担。Glioma is the most common primary tumor of the central nervous system in adults, accounting for about 50% of malignant brain and other central nervous system tumors. It has the characteristics of high malignancy, rapid progression, and easy recurrence. According to the traditional World Health Organization (WHO) classification, gliomas are roughly divided into four grades according to histological features, including lower grade glioma (LGG) and grade IV glioblastoma (Glioblastoma, GBM). ). The annual incidence of glioma in my country is 5-8/100,000, and the 5-year mortality rate is second only to pancreatic cancer and lung cancer among systemic tumors. GBM is the most malignant type of glioma, with a comprehensive incidence peak at the age of 30-40, an average progression time of 6.9 months, an average overall survival of only 14.6 months, and a 5-year survival rate of less than 3%. Family and society bring a heavy burden.

目前的临床治疗手段仍然仅限于手术切除后放疗与化疗。手术切除是治疗脑胶质瘤的首要策略，但因胶质瘤浸润性生长特点，与正常脑组织边界模糊，几乎难以切除干净，手术切除后的复发概率仍高达95％以上，并最终造成患者死亡。替莫唑胺(temozolomide,TMZ)是一种口服烷化剂，具有广谱的抗肿瘤活性，在安全有效切除原发胶质瘤后，其可以穿过血脑屏障直接作用于病灶，进一步抑制肿瘤复发率，但TMZ耐药问题严峻。近年来，新的治疗方法陆续出现，包括免疫治疗和分子靶向治疗，但这些治疗方法并没有明显提高胶质瘤患者的生存率，主要是由于胶质瘤的遗传异质性。因此，寻找有效的生物标志物和治疗靶点对胶质瘤患者的诊断和治疗十分重要。The current clinical treatment is still limited to radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgical resection. Surgical resection is the primary strategy for the treatment of glioma, but due to the infiltrative growth characteristics of glioma and the blurred boundary with normal brain tissue, it is almost difficult to remove it cleanly, and the recurrence rate after surgical resection is still as high as 95%, and eventually causes patients die. Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent with broad-spectrum antitumor activity. After the primary glioma is safely and effectively resected, it can pass through the blood-brain barrier and directly act on the lesion, further inhibiting the tumor recurrence rate. , but the problem of TMZ drug resistance is serious. In recent years, new treatments have emerged, including immunotherapy and molecular targeted therapy, but these treatments have not significantly improved the survival rate of glioma patients, mainly due to the genetic heterogeneity of glioma. Therefore, finding effective biomarkers and therapeutic targets is very important for the diagnosis and treatment of glioma patients.

细胞程序性坏死(necroptosis)在人类免疫反应中起着重要作用。受体相互作用蛋白RIPK1和RIPK3是启动necroptosis的两个关键蛋白，而RIPK3的作用底物混合系列蛋白激酶样结构域蛋白(MLKL)，是细胞程序性坏死的特异性执行蛋白。MLKL磷酸化后发生构建变化，从 坏死复合体中解离后转移质膜，造成质膜的不稳定，胞内渗透压升高，导致胞内物质从破裂的细胞膜中释放，细胞最终呈现坏死状态。研究发现，使用选择性MLKL磷酸化抑制剂或抑制MLKL蛋白的表达均可抑制程序性细胞坏死的进程。程序性细胞坏死最先被发现于脑缺血损伤的病理表现中。越来越多的研究表明，程序性细胞坏死广泛参与感染类疾病、神经系统相关疾病以及肿瘤的发生发展。Necroptosis plays an important role in human immune response. Receptor-interacting proteins RIPK1 and RIPK3 are two key proteins that initiate necroptosis, and the substrate mixed series protein kinase-like domain protein (MLKL) of RIPK3 is a specific execution protein of programmed cell necrosis. MLKL phosphorylation undergoes a constitutive change from After dissociation in the necrotic complex, the plasma membrane is transferred, resulting in the instability of the plasma membrane and the increase of intracellular osmotic pressure, which leads to the release of intracellular substances from the ruptured cell membrane, and the cell finally presents a necrotic state. Studies have found that the use of selective MLKL phosphorylation inhibitors or inhibition of MLKL protein expression can inhibit the process of programmed cell necrosis. Programmed necrosis was first discovered in the pathological manifestations of cerebral ischemic injury. More and more studies have shown that programmed cell necrosis is widely involved in the occurrence and development of infectious diseases, nervous system related diseases and tumors.

It was found that the overall survival (OS) of glioma patients with high expression of MLKL was significantly lower than that of patients with low expression of MLKL gene, suggesting that the expression of MLKL gene The product can be used as a prognostic marker for glioma. By detecting the expression of the MLKL gene, the prognosis of patients with different grades of glioma can be evaluated, the potential survival time of the patient can be indicated, and the therapeutic effect of glioma can be evaluated.

本发明人发现MLKL基因或蛋白水平表达越高，胶质瘤患者的生存率越低，即MLKL基因或蛋白过表达明确指示患者较差的生存预后，说明MLKL基因和/或其表达产物能够作为胶质瘤的预后标志物，用于预测患者的预后情况。根据本发明人的研究，抑制内源性MLKL可显著降低恶性胶质瘤细胞的增殖，促使MLKL可成为治疗胶质瘤的有效靶标。The present inventors found that the higher the expression of MLKL gene or protein level, the lower the survival rate of glioma patients, that is, the overexpression of MLKL gene or protein clearly indicates the poor survival prognosis of patients, indicating that MLKL gene and/or its expression products can be used as Prognostic markers of glioma, used to predict the prognosis of patients. According to the inventor's research, inhibiting endogenous MLKL can significantly reduce the proliferation of malignant glioma cells, making MLKL an effective target for treating glioma.

基于这种认识，本发明还制备了MLKL基因表达抑制剂siRNA，对MLKL基因的表达具有良好的干扰效果，具有临床基因治疗的应用前景。所述MLKL基因表达抑制剂siRNA可用于制备治疗胶质瘤的药物，辅助胶质瘤的临床治疗，提高胶质瘤的治疗效果。因此，本发明还提供一种MLKL基因的表达抑制剂，所述表达抑制剂包括基于所述MLKL基因设计的siRNA，其中所述siRNA包含15-30个核苷酸。siRNA(Small interfering RNA；小干扰RNA)与靶基因MLKL转录后的mRNA结合，通过RNA介导的沉默复合体RISC(RNA-induce siliencing complex)介导mRNA的降解。siRNA长度更优选为21-23nt，被RISC识别结合之后，siRNA发生解旋。RISC在siRNA的反义链指导下，寻找具有同源序列的内源性的mRNA，并在距离5’端10-11位碱基之间切割mRNA，从而导致转录后基因沉默。已知siRNA有多个在线设计工具，例如siDirect设计网站(http://sidirect2.rnai.jp)、DSIR设计网站(http://biodev.extra.cea.fr/DSIR/DSIR.html)、invivogen设计网站(http://www.invivogen.com/sirnawizard/siRNA.php)和thermofisher设计网站(https://rnaidesigner.thermofisher.com)等，可供参考。Based on this understanding, the present invention also prepares MLKL gene expression inhibitor siRNA, which has a good interference effect on the expression of MLKL gene and has application prospects in clinical gene therapy. The MLKL gene expression inhibitor siRNA can be used to prepare medicaments for treating glioma, assist clinical treatment of glioma, and improve the therapeutic effect of glioma. Therefore, the present invention also provides an expression inhibitor of MLKL gene, said expression inhibitor comprising siRNA designed based on said MLKL gene, wherein said siRNA comprises 15-30 nucleotides. siRNA (Small interfering RNA; small interfering RNA) binds to the mRNA after transcription of the target gene MLKL, and mediates the degradation of mRNA through the RNA-mediated silencing complex RISC (RNA-induce silencing complex). The length of the siRNA is more preferably 21-23nt. After being recognized and bound by RISC, the siRNA unwinds. Under the guidance of the antisense strand of siRNA, RISC looks for endogenous mRNA with homologous sequence, and cleaves mRNA between 10-11 bases from the 5' end, resulting in post-transcriptional gene silencing. It is known that there are multiple online design tools for siRNA, such as siDirect design website (http://sidirect2.rnai.jp), DSIR design website (http://biodev.extra.cea.fr/DSIR/DSIR.html), invivogen The design website (http://www.invivogen.com/sirnawizard/siRNA.php) and thermofisher design website (https://rnaidesigner.thermofisher.com) are available for reference.

优选的，本发明还提供一种MLKL基因的表达抑制剂，所述表达抑制剂包括基于所述MLKL基因设计的siRNA，所述siRNA核苷酸序列正义链如：Preferably, the present invention also provides an expression inhibitor of MLKL gene, said expression inhibitor comprises siRNA designed based on said MLKL gene, said siRNA nucleotide sequence sense strand is as follows:

SEQ ID NO.9(5’-GAAGCAUAUUAUCACCCUUTT-3’)或 SEQ ID NO.9 (5'-GAAGCAUAUUAUCACCCUUTT-3') or

SEQ ID NO.10(5’-GCAAUAGAUCCAAUAUCUGTT-3’)或SEQ ID NO.10 (5'-GCAAUAGAUCCAAUAUCUGTT-3') or

SEQ ID NO.11(5’-GAACCUGCCCGAUGACAUU-3’)等所示。Shown in SEQ ID NO.11 (5'-GAACCUGCCCGAUGACAUU-3') etc.

在另一优选实施方案中，上述siRNA包括至少一个修饰的核苷酸。所述修饰的siRNA通常具有比相应未修饰siRNA序列更小的免疫刺激性，且保持针对目的靶基因的RNAi活性。在一些实施方案中，修饰的siRNA含有至少一个2’OMe嘌呤或嘧啶核苷酸诸如2’OMe-鸟苷、2’OMe-尿苷、2’OMe-腺苷，和/或2’OMe-胞嘧啶核苷酸(参考M.M.Zhang et al.，Biochemical Pharmacology 189(2021)114432)。在优选的实施方案中，修饰的核苷酸可以存在于siRNA的一条链(即，有义或反义)或两条链中。siRNA序列可以具有突出端(例如3’或5’突出端)或可以缺少突出端(即具有平端)。In another preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned siRNA includes at least one modified nucleotide. The modified siRNA generally has less immunostimulatory effect than the corresponding unmodified siRNA sequence, and maintains the RNAi activity against the target gene of interest. In some embodiments, the modified siRNA contains at least one 2'OMe purine or pyrimidine nucleotide such as 2'OMe-guanosine, 2'OMe-uridine, 2'OMe-adenosine, and/or 2'OMe- Cytosine nucleotides (reference M.M. Zhang et al., Biochemical Pharmacology 189 (2021) 114432). In preferred embodiments, modified nucleotides may be present in one strand (ie, sense or antisense) or both strands of the siRNA. siRNA sequences may have overhangs (eg, 3' or 5' overhangs) or may lack overhangs (ie, have blunt ends).

连接RNA磷酸骨架的磷酸二酯键是核酸酶作用的化学键，而磷原子是核酸酶攻击的中心，对该原子的修饰能够影响酶的降解作用，从而提高小干扰核酸抗核酸酶的能力，增加其稳定性。在另一优选实施方案中，通过将磷酸酯键(PO)换成硫代磷酸酯(PS)，所述硫代磷酸修饰是用一个硫原子取代磷酸二酯键的非桥氧原子，即P-S键替代P-O键，这种修饰通常会增加核酸对核酸酶的稳定性。The phosphodiester bond connecting the RNA phosphate backbone is the chemical bond for nuclease action, and the phosphorus atom is the center of nuclease attack. The modification of this atom can affect the degradation of the enzyme, thereby improving the ability of small interfering nucleic acids to resist nucleases and increase its stability. In another preferred embodiment, the phosphorothioate modification is the substitution of a sulfur atom for the non-bridging oxygen atom of the phosphodiester bond by exchanging the phosphate bond (PO) for a phosphorothioate (PS), i.e. P-S Bonds replace P-O bonds, a modification that generally increases the stability of nucleic acids against nucleases.

本发明中，所述siRNA的制备方法没有特别的限制，可以通过化学合成得到，或者通过质粒和/或病毒载体的表达而得到。根据不同的修饰方式，可以使用经过修饰核苷酸替代相应位置中未修饰的核苷酸，或者进行磷酸二酯键的硫代磷酸修饰等。选择性地，也可以委托专门从事核酸合成的生物技术公司合成本发明的siRNA。一般来说，用于合成siRNA的方法包括以下四个过程：(1)寡聚核糖核苷酸的合成；(2)脱保护；(3)纯化分离；(4)脱盐等。In the present invention, the preparation method of the siRNA is not particularly limited, and can be obtained by chemical synthesis, or by expression of plasmids and/or viral vectors. According to different modification methods, modified nucleotides can be used to replace unmodified nucleotides in corresponding positions, or phosphorothioate modification of phosphodiester bonds can be performed. Alternatively, it is also possible to entrust a biotechnology company specialized in nucleic acid synthesis to synthesize the siRNA of the present invention. Generally, the method for synthesizing siRNA includes the following four processes: (1) synthesis of oligoribonucleotides; (2) deprotection; (3) purification and separation; (4) desalting and so on.

siRNA因为含有多个磷酸酯键而带有大量的负电荷，这样的极性分子很难自行穿过细胞膜；此外siRNA暴露血液会有稳定性问题并造成免疫原性。因此，在另一优选实施方案中，需要将上述siRNA用载体(如LNP)包裹或者和特定配体(如GalNac)连接以有效避免肾消除，而且还能靶向性地富集在特定的组织中。siRNA has a lot of negative charges because it contains multiple phosphate bonds, and it is difficult for such a polar molecule to pass through the cell membrane by itself; in addition, siRNA exposure to blood will cause stability problems and cause immunogenicity. Therefore, in another preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned siRNA needs to be wrapped with a carrier (such as LNP) or linked to a specific ligand (such as GalNac) to effectively avoid renal elimination, and can also be enriched in specific tissues in a targeted manner. middle.

供利用生物信息学分析方法，检测MLKL基因在胶质瘤组织(Tumor)及正常组织(Normal)中的mRNA表达量的方法，具体内容如下：A method for detecting the mRNA expression of MLKL gene in glioma tissue (Tumor) and normal tissue (Normal) by using bioinformatics analysis method, the specific content is as follows:

从TCGA数据库(https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/)和GTEx数据库(http://gtexportal.org/home/)上下载33种癌症与正常组织中MLKLmRNA表达情况。通过Wilcoxon rank sum test检测MLKL在正常组织和癌组织中表达量的差异。The expression of MLKL mRNA in 33 cancers and normal tissues was downloaded from TCGA database (https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/) and GTEx database (http://gtexportal.org/home/). The difference in the expression of MLKL in normal tissues and cancer tissues was detected by Wilcoxon rank sum test.

图1显示MLKL基因在33种癌组织(Tumor)与正常组织(Normal)的mRNA表达差异 水平，由图1可知，MLKL在癌症组织的表达水平均显著高于正常组织。Figure 1 shows the mRNA expression difference of MLKL gene in 33 cancer tissues (Tumor) and normal tissues (Normal) As can be seen from Figure 1, the expression level of MLKL in cancer tissues is significantly higher than that in normal tissues.

实施例2Example 2

通过TCGA数据库获取的30种癌症组织中MLKLmRNA信息和病人信息，采用Cox回归方法分析MLKLmRNA水平与患者总生存期的相关性，得到如图2所述的生存分析森林图。Through the MLKLmRNA information and patient information in 30 cancer tissues obtained from the TCGA database, the Cox regression method was used to analyze the correlation between the MLKLmRNA level and the overall survival of patients, and the survival analysis forest plot as shown in Figure 2 was obtained.

由图2可知，MLKL基因高表达的低级胶质瘤(LGG)和高级胶质瘤(GBM)患者，其总生存率的风险比(HR)明显高于MLKL基因地表达的前列腺患者(P<0.01)，即MLKL高表达的胶质瘤患者总生存期(OS)显著低于MLKL基因低表达患者的总生存期，提示MLKL基因的表达产物能作为胶质瘤的预后标志物，通过检测MLKL基因的表达，可以评估不同级别胶质瘤患者的预后、提示患者的潜在生存时间，同时可以用于评估胶质瘤的治疗效果。更有意义的是，MLKL的高表达与其它29种癌症的不良预后无关，提示MLKL作为胶质瘤检测与预后标志物的专一性特点。It can be seen from Figure 2 that the hazard ratio (HR) of the overall survival rate of patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) and high-grade glioma (GBM) with high expression of MLKL gene was significantly higher than that of prostate patients with high expression of MLKL gene (P< 0.01), that is, the overall survival (OS) of glioma patients with high MLKL expression was significantly lower than that of patients with low MLKL gene expression, suggesting that the expression product of MLKL gene can be used as a prognostic marker for glioma. The expression of genes can evaluate the prognosis of patients with different grades of glioma, indicate the potential survival time of patients, and can also be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of glioma. More meaningfully, high expression of MLKL was not associated with poor prognosis in other 29 cancers, suggesting the specificity of MLKL as a marker for detection and prognosis of glioma.

实施例3Example 3

从TCGA数据库分别下载MLKL、NUSAP1、GINS2和TRIM21信息以及病人信息，采用COX回归方法对比分析MLKL和3个已发现的胶质瘤标志物，即NUSAP1、GINS2、TRIM21的基因表达水平与患者总生存期的相关性，得到如图3所述的生存分析热图。MLKL, NUSAP1, GINS2 and TRIM21 information and patient information were downloaded from the TCGA database, and the COX regression method was used to compare and analyze MLKL and three discovered glioma markers, namely, the gene expression levels of NUSAP1, GINS2 and TRIM21 and the overall survival of patients Correlation between periods, the survival analysis heat map as shown in Figure 3 is obtained.

由图3可知，虽然MLKL、NUSAP1、GINS2和TRIM21基因的高表达与低级别胶质瘤(LGG)的不良预后均存在显著相关性(P<0.001)，但仅有MLKL的高表达可以作为评估高级别胶质瘤(GBM)预后的分子标志物，进一步验证MLKL在不同级别的胶质瘤中均具有准确的诊断意义。It can be seen from Figure 3 that although the high expression of MLKL, NUSAP1, GINS2 and TRIM21 genes are significantly correlated with the poor prognosis of low-grade glioma (LGG) (P<0.001), only the high expression of MLKL can be used as an assessment Molecular markers for the prognosis of high-grade glioma (GBM), further verifying that MLKL has accurate diagnostic significance in different grades of glioma.

利用实施案例2中从TCGA数据库获取的胶质瘤组织中MLKLmRNA信息和病人信息，通过Kaplan-Meier曲线和log-rank检测用于分析MLKL基因表达水平与患者总生存期(OS)、疾病特异性生存期(DSS)以及无进展生存期(PFI)的相关性，得到如图3所述的生存分析曲线。Using the MLKL mRNA information and patient information in glioma tissue obtained from the TCGA database in Example 2, the Kaplan-Meier curve and log-rank detection are used to analyze the relationship between MLKL gene expression level and patient overall survival (OS), disease specificity Correlation between survival period (DSS) and progression-free survival (PFI), the survival analysis curve as shown in Figure 3 was obtained.

由图4a-c可知，MLKL基因高表达的低级别胶质瘤患者(LGG)和高级别胶质瘤患者(GBM)，在同一生存时间下的患者总生存率(OS)、疾病特异性生存率(DSS)以及肿瘤无进展生存率(PFI)明显低于MLKL低表达的胶质瘤患者(P<0.01)，进一步验证MLKL基因表达的产物能够作为胶质瘤的预后标志物。通过检测MLKL基因表达，能够及时评估低级胶质瘤和高级别胶质瘤患者的预后，对调整临床治疗策略，进一步提高临床治疗效果，改善患者 生存质量具有指导意义。It can be seen from Figure 4a-c that the patients with low-grade glioma (LGG) and high-grade glioma (GBM) with high expression of MLKL gene, the overall survival rate (OS), disease-specific survival rate at the same survival time The DSS rate (DSS) and tumor progression-free survival rate (PFI) were significantly lower than those of glioma patients with low MLKL expression (P<0.01), further verifying that the products of MLKL gene expression can be used as prognostic markers for glioma. By detecting the expression of MLKL gene, the prognosis of patients with low-grade glioma and high-grade glioma can be evaluated in time, which can be used to adjust clinical treatment strategies, further improve clinical treatment effects, and improve patient outcomes. Quality of life is instructive.

实施例5Example 5

本实施例旨在提供一种评估MLKL基因表达水平用于胶质瘤诊断价值的的方法，具体内容为：采用实施例2中从TCGA数据库获取的胶质瘤病人的信息通过软件进行编辑分析，获得时间依赖型ROC(receiver operator characteristic curve)曲线。This example aims to provide a method for evaluating the MLKL gene expression level for the diagnostic value of glioma. The specific content is: using the information of glioma patients obtained from the TCGA database in Example 2 to edit and analyze through software, Obtain a time-dependent ROC (receiver operator characteristic curve) curve.

上述的软件是R(3.6.3版本)，其中统计分析所用的R包为timeROC(0.4版本)，数据可视化所用的R包为ggplot2(3.3.3版本)。The above software is R (version 3.6.3), the R package used for statistical analysis is timeROC (version 0.4), and the R package used for data visualization is ggplot2 (version 3.3.3).

ROC曲线是显示真阳性率(灵敏度，或称敏感性，TPR)和假阳性率(FPR)之间折中的一种图形化方法。一个好的分类模型，在本发明中指一个好的癌症标志物，应该进可能靠近ROC曲线的左上角。同时，也可以采用曲线下面积(AUC)来表示一个模型的平均表现，AUC越大，诊断准确度越高。The ROC curve is a graphical way to show the trade-off between the true positive rate (sensitivity, or sensitivity, TPR) and the false positive rate (FPR). A good classification model, which refers to a good cancer marker in this invention, should probably be near the upper left corner of the ROC curve. At the same time, the area under the curve (AUC) can also be used to represent the average performance of a model. The larger the AUC, the higher the diagnostic accuracy.

图5所示MLKL基因表达水平用于诊断胶质瘤的ROC曲线，如图所示，预测年限为1年时，曲线下面积(AUC)为0.753，MLKL基因表达用于诊断胶质瘤的灵敏度为66.4％，特异性为74.8％。预测年限为5年时，曲线下面积(AUC)为0.738，MLKL基因表达用于诊断胶质瘤的灵敏度为65.3％，特异性为75.3％。预测年限为10年时，曲线下面积(AUC)为0.791，MLKL基因表达用于诊断胶质瘤的灵敏度为64.1％，特异性为84.2％。显示其作为胶质瘤诊断和预后标志物具有高特异性和高灵敏度，是胶质瘤早期分子诊断与患病分险筛查的理想靶点。The ROC curve of MLKL gene expression level for diagnosing glioma shown in Figure 5, as shown in the figure, when the predicted age is 1 year, the area under the curve (AUC) is 0.753, and the sensitivity of MLKL gene expression for diagnosing glioma was 66.4%, and the specificity was 74.8%. When the prediction period was 5 years, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.738, the sensitivity of MLKL gene expression in diagnosing glioma was 65.3%, and the specificity was 75.3%. When the prediction period was 10 years, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.791, the sensitivity of MLKL gene expression in diagnosing glioma was 64.1%, and the specificity was 84.2%. It is shown that it has high specificity and high sensitivity as a glioma diagnostic and prognostic marker, and is an ideal target for early molecular diagnosis and disease risk screening of glioma.

实施例6Example 6

利用实施案例2中从TCGA数据库获取的胶质瘤组织中MLKLmRNA信息和病人信息，通过Kruskal-Wallis test检测MLKL基因表达与胶质瘤临床不同分型，即WHO分级、IDH突变、1p/19q共缺失以及不同组织类型之间的相关性，得到如图6(a-b)所示的柱形图。Using the MLKL mRNA information and patient information in glioma tissue obtained from the TCGA database in Example 2, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to detect the expression of MLKL gene and the different clinical types of glioma, that is, WHO grade, IDH mutation, and 1p/19q co-occurrence. Missing and the correlation between different tissue types, resulting in the histogram shown in Fig. 6(a-b).

WHO分级越高指向越差的生存率，而IDH突变和1p/19q联合缺失突变与较好的预后具有强相关性。图6(a)显示MLKL基因在III级胶质瘤中的表达量高于II级，而在IV级胶质瘤中表达量高于II级与III级。图6(b)显示MLKL基因在IDH野生型中的表达量显著高于其在IDH突变型中的表达量。图6(c)显示MLKL基因在不发生1p/19联合缺失的表达量显著高于其在1p/19q联合缺失的表达量。图6(d)显示MLKL基因在少突胶质细胞瘤(oligodendroglioma)、少突星型胶质细胞瘤(oligoastrocytoma)、星形胶质细胞瘤(astrocytoma)、胶质母细胞瘤(glioblastoma)的表达量逐步升高。以上结果共同说明胶质瘤的恶性程度越高，MLKL基因的表达量越高。由此可知，MLKL的表达与胶质瘤的级别、IDH突变、1p/19共缺 失以及病理组织分型具有相关性，MLKL基因及其表达产物可作为临床判断胶质瘤级别和组织分型的标志物。Higher WHO grades point to poorer survival, whereas IDH mutations and 1p/19q combined deletion mutations are strongly associated with better prognosis. Fig. 6(a) shows that the expression level of MLKL gene in grade III glioma is higher than that in grade II, and the expression in grade IV glioma is higher than that in grade II and grade III. Figure 6(b) shows that the expression level of MLKL gene in IDH wild type is significantly higher than that in IDH mutant type. Figure 6(c) shows that the expression level of MLKL gene without 1p/19 joint deletion is significantly higher than its expression level in 1p/19q joint deletion. Figure 6(d) shows that MLKL gene expression in oligodendroglioma (oligodendroglioma), oligoastrocytoma (oligoastrocytoma), astrocytoma (astrocytoma), glioblastoma (glioblastoma) The expression level gradually increased. The above results together indicate that the higher the degree of malignancy of glioma, the higher the expression level of MLKL gene. It can be seen that the expression of MLKL is correlated with the grade of glioma, IDH mutation, 1p/19 co-deficient MLKL gene and its expression products can be used as markers for clinical judgment of glioma grade and histological type.

实施例7Example 7

利用实施案例2中从TCGA数据库获取的胶质瘤组织中MLKLmRNA信息和病人信息，通过Kaplan-Meier生存曲线检测MLKL表达在胶质瘤患者在不同亚型中患者总生存(OS)的预后价值。结果如图7a-c所示，MLKL在较高级别胶质瘤患者(G3和G4)(a)、IDH野生型患者(b)、以及3种较严重的组织分型(包括少突星形胶质细胞瘤、星形胶质细胞瘤、以及神经母细胞瘤)(c)患者中均具有预后意义。因此，MLKL可作为一种新的胶质瘤预后标志物，为不同亚型的胶质瘤患者的生存期提供评估依据。Using the MLKL mRNA information and patient information in glioma tissues obtained from the TCGA database in Example 2, the Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to detect the prognostic value of MLKL expression in the overall survival (OS) of glioma patients in different subtypes. The results are shown in Fig. 7a-c, MLKL is significantly higher in patients with higher-grade glioma (G3 and G4) (a), in patients with IDH wild-type (b), and in 3 more severe histological types (including oligoastrocytic Glioblastoma, astrocytoma, and neuroblastoma) (c) have prognostic significance. Therefore, MLKL can be used as a new glioma prognostic marker to provide a basis for evaluating the survival of patients with different subtypes of glioma.

实施例8Example 8

MLKL蛋白在高级别胶质瘤临床样本中蛋白表达高于低级别胶质瘤组织。The protein expression of MLKL protein in high-grade glioma clinical samples was higher than that in low-grade glioma tissues.

1.研究对象1. Research object

研究对象选取81例胶质瘤患者临床样本，其中WHO分级II级17例，III级19例，IV级52例，本研究通过医院伦理委员会审查和批准，所有患者入组前均签署书面知情通知书。The research subjects selected 81 clinical samples of glioma patients, including 17 cases of WHO grade II, 19 cases of grade III, and 52 cases of grade IV. This study was reviewed and approved by the hospital ethics committee, and all patients signed a written informed notice before enrollment Book.

2.免疫印迹实验检测MLKL蛋白在临床胶质瘤样本中的表达量。2. Western blotting to detect the expression of MLKL protein in clinical glioma samples.

用组织破碎仪将临床胶质瘤组织破碎为组织匀浆，进而通过RIPA细胞裂解液使各组分细胞破碎，蛋白溶解，在相同条件下对蛋白质进行定量调整后，进行western blot检测分析。具体步骤如下：首先通过SDS-PAGE电泳分离蛋白，并将蛋白转到硝酸纤维素膜上，然后采用5％的脱脂奶粉进行封闭实验，封闭结束后对膜进行清洗，并用分别与MLKL和Actin特异性结合的抗体与其充分结合，进一步用能与一抗特异性结合的二抗与其结合后，通过蛋白显色成像仪进行拍照，最后通过Image J软件对所显色的蛋白条带完成定量分析。The clinical glioma tissue was broken into tissue homogenate with a tissue breaker, and then the cells of each component were broken with RIPA cell lysate, and the protein was dissolved. After the protein was quantitatively adjusted under the same conditions, the western blot analysis was performed. The specific steps are as follows: first, the protein was separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and the protein was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, and then 5% skimmed milk powder was used for blocking experiment. The sex-binding antibody was fully combined with it, further combined with a secondary antibody that can specifically bind to the primary antibody, and then photographed by a protein chromogenic imager, and finally the quantitative analysis of the colored protein bands was completed by Image J software.

所获得的结果如图8a所示，对Western Blot定量分析结果表明MLKL在高级别胶质瘤(GBM)中的蛋白表达量显著高于在低级别胶质瘤中(LGG)的表达量(图8b)，并在IDH1野生型中的表达量显著高于其在IDH1突变型胶质瘤组织中的表达量(图8c)，说明MLKL在恶性程度高的胶质瘤中高表达，提示其蛋白表达量与病患的不良预后相关。The obtained results are shown in Figure 8a. The quantitative analysis of Western Blot showed that the protein expression of MLKL in high-grade glioma (GBM) was significantly higher than that in low-grade glioma (LGG) (Fig. 8b), and the expression level in IDH1 wild type was significantly higher than that in IDH1 mutant glioma tissues (Fig. 8c), indicating that MLKL is highly expressed in highly malignant gliomas, suggesting that its protein expression The amount is associated with poor prognosis of the patient.

3.MLKL蛋白过表达的临床意义。3. The clinical significance of MLKL protein overexpression.

采用Kalpan-Meier方法绘制生存分析曲线，并通过log-rank方法检测其统计学意义。检测系数P<0.05统计学上有显著性差异。并且通过R包：survival包(3.2-10版本)用于生存资料的统计分析MLKL蛋白的表达与胶质瘤患者总生存率(Overall survival,OS)的关系。MLKL 蛋白过表达和低表达按照MLKL蛋白表达水平的中位数来划定。同时结合临床胶质瘤病患的IDH1突变信息和免疫组化Ki67染色结果，应用GraphPad Prism 7软件的t检验，分析MLKL蛋白表达量与IDH1突变与Ki67指标之间的相关性。Survival analysis curves were drawn by the Kalpan-Meier method, and the statistical significance was detected by the log-rank method. The detection coefficient P<0.05 has a statistically significant difference. And through the R package: survival package (version 3.2-10) for statistical analysis of survival data, the relationship between the expression of MLKL protein and the overall survival rate (Overall survival, OS) of glioma patients. MLKL Protein overexpression and underexpression were demarcated according to the median of MLKL protein expression level. At the same time, combined with the IDH1 mutation information of clinical glioma patients and the results of immunohistochemical Ki67 staining, the t test of GraphPad Prism 7 software was used to analyze the correlation between MLKL protein expression, IDH1 mutation and Ki67 index.

结果如图9a所示，在81例胶质瘤组织中，MLKL蛋白过表达的胶质瘤病人比MLKL低表达的胶质瘤患者的总生存率(OS)明显降低。MLKL在2种分子亚型(即Ki67与IDH1)胶质瘤中的表达水平图显示，MLKL蛋白在野生型IDH1分子亚型(b)，以及高Ki67(>＝30)(c)的胶质瘤中特异性高表达。IDH1野生型与不良预后相关，提示MLKL蛋白水平与胶质瘤恶性程度正相关。Ki67是一种与细胞增殖相关的核内蛋白,可用于判断肿瘤增生指数。总体来说，Ki-67阳性标记数值越高，则组织分化越差，恶性程度越高，预后越差。综上，MLKL蛋白表达水平高，可作为胶质瘤不良预后的标志物。The results are shown in Figure 9a, among the 81 glioma tissues, the overall survival rate (OS) of glioma patients with overexpression of MLKL protein was significantly lower than that of glioma patients with low expression of MLKL. The expression level map of MLKL in two molecular subtypes (i.e. Ki67 and IDH1) glioma shows that MLKL protein is expressed in wild-type IDH1 molecular subtype (b) and high Ki67 (>=30) (c) glioma Highly expressed in tumors. IDH1 wild type is associated with poor prognosis, suggesting that MLKL protein level is positively correlated with glioma malignancy. Ki67 is a nuclear protein related to cell proliferation, which can be used to judge the tumor proliferation index. Generally speaking, the higher the value of Ki-67 positive marker, the worse the tissue differentiation, the higher the degree of malignancy, and the worse the prognosis. In conclusion, the high expression level of MLKL protein can be used as a marker of poor prognosis in glioma.

MLKL蛋白促进胶质瘤细胞的恶性增殖。MLKL protein promotes malignant proliferation of glioma cells.

1.免疫印迹实验检测敲低MLKL后细胞周期蛋白的表达量1. Western blot assay to detect the expression of cyclins after knocking down MLKL

为探索MLKL在胶质瘤中的生物学功能，利用siRNA技术特异性地敲低恶性胶质瘤细胞U87的MLKL。使用干扰序列siNC(5’–UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT–3’(SEQ ID NO.14)和siMLKL(#1：5’-GAAGCAUAUUAUCACCCUUTT-3’(SEQ ID NO.9)，#2：5’-GCAAUAGAUCCAAUAUCUGTT-3’(SEQ ID NO.10))转染细胞后，免疫印迹实验显示MLKL的表达水平显著降低(图11(a))，同时细胞周期蛋白依赖激酶2(CDK2)和细胞周期蛋白A2(cyclin A2)表达量伴随MLKL的下降而降低(图11(b))。在机体，CDKs主要与周期蛋白(cyclin)结合形成激活态的蛋白酶体复合物，从而催化底物丝氨酸/苏氨酸残基磷酸化，促进细胞周期不断进行。其中CDK2通过与cyclin A形成蛋白酶体复合物，调控细胞G1期到S期的转变和S期的进行。CDK2-cyclin A2表达量降低，提示敲低MLKL可能抑制U87细胞的增殖速率。In order to explore the biological function of MLKL in glioma, MLKL in U87 malignant glioma cells was specifically knocked down by siRNA technology. Using interfering sequences siNC(5'–UUCUCCGAACGUGUCACGUTT–3'(SEQ ID NO.14) and siMLKL(#1:5'-GAAGCAUAUUAUCACCCUUTT-3'(SEQ ID NO.9), #2:5'-GCAAUAGAUCCAAUAUCUGTT-3' (SEQ ID NO.10)) after transfecting cells, immunoblotting experiments showed that the expression level of MLKL was significantly reduced (Fig. The expression level decreases with the decrease of MLKL (Figure 11(b)). In the body, CDKs mainly combine with cyclin to form an active proteasome complex, thereby catalyzing the phosphorylation of substrate serine/threonine residues , to promote the continuous progress of the cell cycle. Among them, CDK2 regulates the transition from G1 phase to S phase and the progress of S phase by forming a proteasome complex with cyclin A. The expression of CDK2-cyclin A2 decreases, suggesting that knocking down MLKL may inhibit U87 cells growth rate.
