第七章 Biotechnology: How Do We Use What We Know About Life 前言 基因療法 (Gene therapy)的故事 重組DNA科技(Recombinant DNA technology) 基因療法 (Gene therapy)的故事 : 心肌梗塞 Lipoproteins • Form when certain blood proteins combine with cholesterol • High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) • Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) Familial Hypercholesterolemia • Gene encodes protein that serves as cell’s LDL receptor • Two normal alleles for the gene keep blood level of LDLs low • Two mutated alleles lead to abnormally high cholesterol levels & heart disease Example of Gene Therapy • Woman with familial hypercholesterolemia • Part of her liver was removed • Virus used to insert normal gene for LDL receptor into cultured liver cells • Modified liver cells placed back in patient Results of Gene Therapy • Modified cells alive in woman’s liver • Blood levels of LDLs down 20 percent • No evidence of atherosclerosis • Cholesterol levels remain high • Remains to be seen whether procedure will prolong her life Genetic Changes • Humans have been changing the genetics of other species for thousands of years – Artificial selection of plants and animals • Natural processes also at work – Mutation, crossing over Genetic Engineering • Genes are isolated, modified, and inserted into an organism • Made possible by recombinant technology – Cut DNA up and recombine pieces – Amplify modified pieces 製造重組DNA的工具箱 細菌或病毒 限制脢 修飾酵素 以反轉錄脢製造cDNA 限制脢 (Restriction enzyme) 發現tRNA切割: Robert Holly Discovered bacteria have an enzyme that chops up viral DNA 發現限制脢: Hamilton Smith Hamilton Smith was studying how Haemophilus influenzae defend themselves from bacteriophage attack Specificity of Cuts • Restriction enzymes cut DNA at a specific sequence • Number of cuts made in DNA will depend on number of times the “target” sequence occurs Making Recombinant DNA 限制脢 修飾酵素 限制脢 粘端 (Sticky end) 鈍端 (Blunt end) DNA連結脢(DNA ligase) 載體 (Vector) Using Plasmids • Plasmid is small circle of bacterial DNA • Foreign DNA can be inserted into plasmid – Forms recombinant plasmids – Plasmid is a cloning vector – Can be used to deliver DNA into another cell 以反轉錄脢製造cDNA PCR: 快速放大DNA含量的方法 Polymerase Chain Reaction • Sequence to be copied is heated • Primers are added and bind to ends of single strands • DNA polymerase uses free nucleotides to create complementary strands • Doubles number of copies of DNA Primers • Short sequences that DNA polymerase recognizes as start tags • To carry out PCR, must first determine nucleotide sequences just before and after the gene to be copied • Complementary primers are then created The DNA Polymerase • Most DNA polymerase is denatured at high temperature • Polymerase used in PCR is from bacteria that live in hot springs Temperature Cycles • DNA is heated to unwind strands • Cooled to allow base-pairing with primers and complementary strand synthesis • DNA is heated again to unwind strands • Cycle is repeated over and over again DNA指紋 (DNA Fingerprints) • Unique array of DNA fragments • Inherited from parents in Mendelian fashion • Even full siblings can be distinguished from one another by this technique Tandem Repeats • Short regions of DNA that differ substantially among people • Many sites in genome where tandem repeats occur • Each person carries a unique combination of repeat numbers RFLPs • Restriction fragment length polymorphisms • DNA from areas with tandem repeats is cut with restriction enzymes • Because of the variation in the amount of repeated DNA, the restriction fragments vary in size • Variation is detected by gel electrophoresis Tandem Repeats Gel Electrophoresis • DNA is placed at one end of a gel • A current is applied to the gel • DNA molecules are negatively charged and move toward positive end of gel • Smaller molecules move faster than larger ones Analyzing DNA Fingerprints • DNA is stained or made visible by use of a radioactive probe • Pattern of bands is used to: – Identify or rule out criminal suspects – Determine paternity Genome Sequencing • 1995 - Sequence of bacterium Haemophilus influenzae determined • Automated DNA sequencing now main method • 3.2 billion nucleotides in human genome determined in this way Nucleotides for Sequencing • Standard nucleotides (A,T,C, G) • Modified versions of these nucleotides – Labeled so they fluoresce – Structurally different so that they stop DNA synthesis when they are added to a strand Reaction Mixture • Copies of DNA to be sequenced • Primer • DNA polymerase • Standard nucleotides • Modified nucleotides Reactions Proceed • Nucleotides are assembled to create complementary strands • When a modified nucleotide is included, synthesis stops • Result is millions of tagged copies of varying length DNA in Courtroom TCCATGGACC TCCATGGAC TCCATGGA Recording the Sequence TCCATGG TCCATG TCCAT TCCA TCC •DNA is placed on gel •Fragments move off TC T electrophoresis gel one of the many fragments of DNA migrating through the gel gel in size order; pass through laser beam •Color each fragment fluoresces is recorded one of the DNA fragments passing through a laser beam after moving through the gel on printout T C C A T G G A C C A Gene Libraries • Bacteria that contain different cloned DNA fragments – Genomic library – cDNA library 分離特定的DNA: 有如在乾草堆中尋找細針 何謂探針 (Probe) 核酸雜交反應(Nucleic acid hybridization) 基因的篩選 (Screening) The Human Genome Initiative Goal - Map the entire human genome • Initially thought by many to be a waste of resources • Process accelerated when Craig Ventner used bits of cDNAs as hooks to find genes • Sequencing was completed ahead of schedule in early 2001 Using Human Genes • Even with gene in hand it is difficult to manipulate it to advantage • Viruses usually used to insert genes into cultured human cells but procedure has problems • Very difficult to get modified genes to work where they should 人工設計的植物 由培養的細胞再生植株 如何將基因轉至植物 Gene Therapy Stem Cells 動物的基因轉殖 超級鼠與生物科技農場 人類基因庫的定序與應用 桃莉複製羊、黛絲複製牛與DNA Cloning Dolly 1997 - A sheep cloned from an adult cell – Nucleus from mammary gland cell was inserted into enucleated egg from another sheep – Embryo implanted into surrogate mother – Sheep is genetic replica of animal from which mammary cell was taken 二日十九出版的美國《時代》周刊 刊登了有關人類複製的文章。 Photo courtesy Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. Noah was the first endangered animal to be cloned. Cloning requires specialized microsurgery tools and involves five basic steps: 1. Enucleation of the recipient egg 2. Transfer of the donor cell into the recipient egg 3. Fusion of the donor cell to the recipient egg 4. Culturing the resulting cloned embryo in the incubator 5. Transferring the developing embryo into the reproductive tract of a surrogate mother The offsprings are genetically identical to each other and to their donor "parent". 究竟誰可被改造 Eugenic Engineering • Selecting “desirable” human traits • Who decides what is desirable? • 40 percent of Americans say gene therapy to make a child smarter or better looking would be OK Where Do We Go Now? • Can we bring about beneficial changes without harming ourselves or the environment? • Gene therapy is not harmless – A young man died after gene therapy that used an adenovirus • Gene therapy can save lives – Infants with disabled immune systems are now healthy 安全議題 Can Genetically Engineered Bacteria “Escape”? • Genetically engineered bacteria are designed so that they cannot survive outside lab • Genes are included that will be turned on in outside environment, triggering death Effects of Engineered Organisms • Opposition to any modified organisms • What if engineered genes escape into other species?
