摘要:

目的 利用腺嘌呤单碱基编辑技术构建携带绵羊多胎基因(Booroola fecundity,FecB)同源突变的骨形态发生蛋白受体1B(bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1B,BMPR1B)基因(即BMPR1BFecB 同源突变)的食蟹猴和恒河猴模型,以探索提高实验猴繁殖性能的遗传改良策略。 方法 针对食蟹猴和恒河猴的BMPR1B基因c.746A>G位点设计4条单链向导RNA(single-guide RNAs,sgRNAs),同时结合ABE8e-SpRY单碱基编辑系统,将该编辑体系显微注射至两种猴的受精卵中。注射后的胚胎经体外培养,采用巢式PCR扩增检测目的位点碱基编辑效率,筛选高效率的sgRNA。随后将发育正常的基因编辑胚胎移植入代孕母猴输卵管内,待新生猴出生7 d后采集耳部皮肤和外周血液,进行基因型鉴定和嵌合率分析,并监测基因编辑猴的生长发育和健康状态。 结果 从4条候选sgRNAs中筛选到c.746A>G单碱基编辑效率达100%的sgRNA4,并通过胚胎移植获得存活仔猴17只,其中食蟹猴8只,恒河猴9只。基因型检测结果显示,8只新生食蟹猴均携带c.746A>G点突变,编辑效率为100%(8/8),其中嵌合体发生率为37.50%(3/8);9只新生恒河猴中8只携带c.746A>G突变,编辑效率为88.89%(8/9),其中嵌合体发生率为75.00%(6/8)。 结论 ABE8e-SpRY单碱基编辑系统可在食蟹猴和恒河猴胚胎中实现BMPR1B基因c.746A>G(p.Q249R)位点的定点编辑,成功建立了BMPR1BFecB 同源突变实验猴模型,为后续在非人灵长类动物水平研究BMPR1BFecB 同源突变对繁殖力的调控作用,以及探索实验猴繁殖性能遗传改良策略提供了重要的模型基础。

Abstract:

Objective To generate cynomolgus and rhesus monkey models carrying the Booroola fecundity (FecB) variant of bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1B (BMPR1B) gene (designated BMPR1BFecB ) using adenine base edit technology and to explore genetic improvement strategies for enhancing the reproductive performance of laboratory macaques. Methods Four single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) were designed to target the BMPR1B c.746A>G locus in cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys. The sgRNAs were combined with the ABE8e-SpRY base editor, and the resulting editing complexes were microinjected into zygotes of both macaque species. Following in vitro culture of the injected embryos, nested PCR amplification was performed to detect the base-editing efficiency at the target site to screen for highly efficient sgRNAs. Subsequently, normally developing gene-edited embryos were transferred into the oviducts of surrogates. Seven days after birth, ear skin or peripheral blood samples were collected from the newborn monkeys for genotyping and mosaicism analysis, and the growth, development, and health status of the gene-edited monkeys were monitored. Results Among the four candidate sgRNAs, sgRNA4 was identified as achieving 100% editing efficiency at the c.746A>G site. A total of 17 live monkey offspring were obtained via embryo transfer, including 8 cynomolgus monkeys and 9 rhesus monkeys. Genotyping results showed that all 8 newborn cynomolgus monkeys carried the c.746A>G point mutation, with an editing efficiency of 100% (8/8), of which 37.50% (3/8) were mosaics. Among the 9 newborn rhesus monkeys, 8 individuals carried the c.746A>G mutation, with an editing efficiency of 88.89% (8/9), of which 75.00% (6/8) were mosaics. Conclusion The ABE8e-SpRY base-editing system enables precise editing at the c.746A>G (p.Q249R) locus of the BMPR1B gene in both cynomolgus and rhesus monkey embryos, resulting in the successful establishment of laboratory monkey models carrying the BMPR1BFecB variant. These models provide a valuable foundation for future studies of the regulatory role of the BMPR1BFecB variant in reproductive performance at the non?human primate level, as well as for exploring genetic improvement strategies to enhance reproductive performance in laboratory monkeys.
