Description

iPSC-nCoVN cell model for COVID-19 drug screening and establishing and using methods thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an iPSC-nCoVN cell model for COVID-19 drug screening and an establishment and use method thereof, belonging to the technical field of biological medicines.
Background
The new medicine for effectively treating COVID-19 has long research and development period, high cost, safety risk and the like, and the most rapid method refers to the pathogenic mechanism of SARS and MERS and selects proper candidate medicines for testing. Therefore, establishing a rapid and accurate COVID-19 drug screening platform is of great significance to epidemic prevention and control work under the current severe situation.
At present, the commonly used drug screening methods include animal experimental screening, computer simulation screening, molecular and cell level screening, and the like. Although the traditional animal experiment screening method has many achievements in drug research and development, the traditional animal experiment screening method has the limitations of high cost, long research and development period, non-large-scale screening and the like. Computer-simulated screening refers to screening effective drugs by simulating the interaction between drug targets and drug structures with a computer, and although the advantages of low cost and high speed exist, the screened drugs often have no or little effect and still need to be further verified through biological experiments. The molecular and cell level screening has the advantages of low cost, high accuracy, high-throughput operation and the like, and is widely applied. Cell level screening is a method which is closer to the real biochemical process in vivo than molecular level screening in the natural state of living cells, so that the method has the most application prospect at present. The conventional cell level research method for COVID-19 drug screening is a mode that SARS-CoV-2 virus strain infects mammalian cells cultured in vitro, but the method relates to experiments such as culture of virus strain, and the like, has safety risk, high requirements on experimental environment and is not beneficial to high-throughput screening.
SARS-CoV-2 is a beta coronavirus, and has genome identity of 79% with SARS-CoV, and its pathogenesis is similar to that of SARS-CoV. Many current studies on SARS-CoV-2 rely on prior work with SARS-CoV. The structural analysis of SARS-CoV genome shows that its coding protein mainly includes spike protein (S), nucleocapsid protein (N), membrane protein (M), envelope protein (E) and so on. Wherein the nucleocapsid protein (N) is the main structural protein of SARS-CoV, can wrap the viral genome into a helical Ribocapsid (RNP), and plays an important role in the self-assembly of the virus. Research shows that the nucleocapsid protein can regulate the division and proliferation of cells, inhibit the generation of I-type interferon and participate in signal pathways such as NF-kappa B, AP-1, TGF-beta and the like. In addition, the nucleocapsid protein has the characteristic of high conservation compared with other SARS-CoV proteins. Thus, the nucleocapsid protein is an ideal tool for coronavirus research.

GreenSupermix (Bio-Rad,1725271) instructions, using the PikoReal Real-Time PCR System (ThermoFisher) System, with NAPDH as an internal reference, primers were designed to detect nCoVN expression levels in iPSC and iPSC-nCoVN (Dox-inducible, DMSO-control). The primer sequences are as follows:
nCoVN-RT-F:CATTGGCATGGAAGTCACAC;
nCoVN-RT-R:TCTGCGGTAAGGCTTGAGTT;
GAPDH-RT-F:TGGGTGTGAACCATGAGAAG;
GAPDH-RT-R:GTGTCGCTGTTGAAGTCAGA。
and (4) analyzing results: as shown in fig. 2, the expression level of nCoVN in the Dox-induced group was 267-fold higher than that of the DMSO control group. The result shows that the iPSC-nCoVN cell strain capable of expressing the nCoVN gene at high level is successfully constructed by the method.
Example 3: cell pluripotency assay
3.1Dox induces nCoVN expression:nCoVN gene expression in iPSC-nCoVN was induced by Dox (Sigma, D9891) at a final concentration of 2. mu.g/mL, and samples were taken at 2 days, 4 days, 6 days, and 8 days, respectively, for cell pluripotency determination.
3.2 detection of pluripotency marker (TRA-1-81):
3.2.1 cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 20min, followed by 3 washes with 1 × PBS. Cells were then permeabilized with PBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature.
3.2.2 after blocking with blocking buffer (1 XPBS + 10% sheep serum), cells were stained with primary antibody (TRA-1-81, mouse, Invitrogen,14-8883-80) at 4 ℃ overnight with a dilution factor of 1: 250.
3.2.3 cells were washed 3 times with PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and incubated with secondary antibody (Alexa Fluor488 coat anti-mouse) for 1h at 37 ℃.
3.2.4 nuclei were stained with DAPI (4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, 1. mu.g/ml) for 5 min.
3.2.5 were imaged with a laser scanning confocal microscope (Leica) and the images were analyzed with ImageJ.
And (4) analyzing results: as shown in FIG. 3, TRA-1-81 was still expressed in iPSC-nCoVN at 2 days of Dox induction, but TRA-1-81 could not be detected in the cells after 4 days of induction, indicating that the pluripotency of iPSC-nCoVN was lost within 4 days.
Example 4: proliferation Rate detection
4.1Dox induces nCoVN expression:with a final concentration of 2. mu.g/mLDox (Sigma, D9891) simultaneously induces three cells of iPSC, iPSC-GFP and iPSC-nCoVN, and samples are respectively taken at 24h, 42h, 48h, 60h and 72h and used for measuring the cell proliferation rate.
4.2 proliferation Rate determination:the cell counting kit was used to determine the number of viable cells in different groups (iPSC, iPSC-GFP, iPSC-nCoVN) at different time points (24h, 42h, 48h, 60h, 72 h).
And (4) analyzing results: as shown in fig. 4, after Dox induction for 72h, the cell proliferation rate of the iPSC-nCoVN group was significantly reduced compared to the iPSC and iPSC-GFP groups, indicating that nCoVN affects the proliferation of ipscs.
In conclusion, the invention successfully constructs the iPSC-nCoVN cell model. Through verification, Dox can induce iPSC-nCoVN cells to highly express nCoVN protein. Overexpression of nCoVN protein in ipscs significantly affected the proliferation rate of ipscs and caused loss of ipscs pluripotency. The method is characterized in that iPSC-nCoVN cells are taken as a model, a proper dose of a drug to be tested is added into a culture solution, and the detection of a cell proliferation rate and a totipotency marker (TRA-1-81) can quickly evaluate whether the tested drug can inhibit the action of nCoVN protein in a virus-free safe environment, so that the influence of the tested drug on the iPSC proliferation rate and the pluripotency can be reduced or eliminated.
