- Primer-based PCR amplifies a 235 bp fragment from SMemb cDNA.
- the SMemb gene-specific forward and reverse primers were used in place of the KLF5 gene-specific forward and reverse primers, and the SMemb gene expression analysis was performed in the same manner as in Example 1 (2). Gene expression was analyzed.
- siRNA No. 4 As shown in FIG. 4, the control SEAP-siRNA did not inhibit the expression of the SMemb gene, whereas the siRNA No. 4, No. 7, No. 8, No. 8 specific to the KLF5 gene. 9, No. 10 and No. 11 were also confirmed to suppress the expression of SMemb gene, a gene whose transcription is activated by KLF5. Among them, siRNA No. 4, siRNA No. ⁇ , siRNA No. 9 and siRNA No. 10 strongly suppressed the expression of SMemb gene. Despite being specific for the KLF5 gene, siRNA No. 1 showed no suppression.
- siRNA specific to the KLF5 gene was transferred to C3H80T1 / 2 cells And verified by analyzing the expression of serum response factor (SRF) gene by RT-PCR.
- SRF gene is a transcription factor gene that is frequently expressed in smooth muscle cells, and is not a gene whose transcription is activated by KLF5.
- siRNA No. 1, No. 4, No. 7, No. 9 and No. 10 as siRNA specific to the KLF5 gene, the siRNA was converted to C3H / 10T1 / in the same manner as in Example 1 (2). After introduction into two cells, gene expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. Two DNAs consisting of the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 47 and 48 were chemically synthesized, and used as a forward primer and a reverse primer specific to the SRF gene. PCR using these primers amplifies a 519 bp fragment from the SRF cDNA.
- SRF gene-specific forward primer and reverse primer in place of the KLF5 gene-specific forward primer and reverse primer, in the same manner as in the KLF5 gene expression analysis of Example 1 (2), The expression of SRF gene was analyzed. However, for PCR, after holding the PCR reaction solution at 95 ° C for 15 minutes, one cycle consisting of a reaction consisting of 30 ° C at 94 ° C for 30 seconds, 30 seconds at 53 ° C for annealing, and 40 seconds at 72 ° C for elongation reaction 26 cycles were carried out, and then the conditions were maintained at 72 ° C. for 10 minutes, and electrophoresis was carried out on a 1.2% agarose gel.
- siRNA No. 1 As shown in FIG. 5, in all of siRNA No. 1, siRNA No. 4, No. 7, No. 9 and No. 10 specific to the KLF5 gene, the SRF gene was similar to the control SEAP-siRNA. Was not suppressed. Therefore, it is clear that siRNA specific to the KLF5 gene not specifically suppresses the expression of the entire gene, but also specifically suppresses the expression of the KLF5 gene and genes that are activated by KLF.
- the siRNA No. 4 prepared in Example 1 has the nucleotide sequence of mouse KLF5 cDNA (SEQ ID NO: 49). It is a siRNA based on the sequence from position 1303 to 1323 (AAAAGCTCACCTGAGGACTCA), and strongly suppressed the expression of mouse KLF5 gene in C3H / 10T1 / 2 cells. However, since this sequence of AAAAGCTCACCTGAGGACTCA is also present at nucleotides 1481 to 1501 of the nucleotide sequence of human KLF5 c-ring A (SEQ ID NO: 50), siRNA No. 4 suppresses not only expression of the KLF5 gene in mice but also in humans It is expected. As described below, it was confirmed that siRNA No. 4 also strongly suppressed the expression of the human KLF5 gene.
- Human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC, source: Sanko Junyaku, product number: CC-2517) were seeded on a 6 cm dish (Koning Co., Ltd.) so as to have approximately 3 ⁇ 10 5 cells.
- 200 pmol of siRNA No. ⁇ 4 and SEAP-siRNA and 10 ⁇ L of intracellular transfection reagent (Ribofectamine 2000, manufactured by Invitrogen) are added and mixed, and the mixture is kept at room temperature for 20 minutes. Added to each dish. The cells were incubated at 37 ° C. for 24 hours in the presence of 5% CO 2 to introduce the respective siRNA into the cells.
- RNA was isolated from cells by the same method as described in Example 1 (2), and the suppression of human KLF5 gene expression by RT-PCR was examined.
- KLF gene-specific forward primer and reverse primer DNAs comprising the sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 41 and 42 used in Example 1 were used.
- PCR using these primers a 161 bp fragment corresponding to the 1446 to 1606 sequence of SEQ ID NO: 50 is amplified from human KLF5 cDNA.
- An amplification product (161 bp) derived from KLF5 mRNA was detected by 0.8% agarose gel electrophoresis of the solution after the reaction, and compared with the amount of the amplification product in cells into which siRNA had not been introduced.
- siRNA No. 4 can strongly suppress not only the expression of the mouse KLF5 gene but also the expression of the human KLF5 gene.
- Table 2 shows that in the siRNA Nos. 2 to 4 and 7 to 11 in which the expression of the mouse KLF5 gene was suppressed in Example 1, the 21-base sequence on the designed mouse KLF5 cDNA and the The position, the 21-base sequence on the human cDNA corresponding to the mouse sequence, the position in SEQ ID NO: 50, and the sequence number representing the RNA sequence excluding the AA at the 5 'end from the human sequence are shown. Since siRNA Nos. 5 and 6 are based on the sequence of the non-coding region, the corresponding human sequence is not shown. Double-stranded RNAs based on these human sequences are also considered to suppress the expression of the human KLF5 gene. SiRNA Nos.
