科普專欄–薯不揀單 - 深入淺出–CRISPR基因編輯技術醫治地中海貧血的成功例子

鐮刀型紅血球疾病Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)和輸血依賴型地中海貧血症Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (TDT)是兩款基因變異所致的遺傳病。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtc6R8UWtm

567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd6KND9e40
這兩種遺傳病的患者，必須經常透過輸血來抵抗疾病牽伸出的各種問題。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYgE68ojto
除為生活帶來不便外，經常輸血亦會導致血液的鐵含量增加，血鐵過高可引致器官衰竭。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOQeqqZ1YN
現時雖有各種手段可減低血液的鐵含量，但有不少患者依然受著血鐵過高引致的問題困擾。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAFvmqxxm

（圖2）Globin蛋白是構成紅血球的主要蛋白質，共有α、β、 γ三種。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQdBfOA1SB
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46nKkzBE3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkLudQi23e
而βGlobin蛋白的基因變異就是造成SCD及TDT疾病的主因，導致紅血球沒法正常輸送氧氣到各身體部份。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8MEzBkdk
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwld6iS1wC
當我們還在母體內的時候，紅血球是以兩條α兩條γ Globin蛋白的方式組成。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycP1MEmP4l
但出世後的三個月左右，紅血球便會以兩條α兩條β Globin蛋白的方式組成，逐漸取代兩條α兩條γ。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnIfVYq1YM
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInXt1a6FWI
基於SCD及TDT的問題是出自在βGlobin蛋白上，所以患者嬰兒頭三個月的時候並不會出現病徵。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjgGUxsFNd
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA01wBv1PXB
（圖3）SCD及TDT的問題純粹是出自在βGlobin蛋白的變異，但他們的α及γGlobin蛋白實情是並沒有問題。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYNmtWXT65
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUMUWOBej2
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vTiYUNwAv
如果能找出方法驅使他們的身體製作用α及γGlobin蛋白以成的紅血球，那豈不是治病良方?567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJIx2McAFr
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUcqLjupWC
各種證據均指出，促使紅血球以2α2β方式呈現是源自於一隻名為BCL11A的蛋白質。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pB1yiKjHJ
因此，科學家及醫生們嘗試利用CRISPR基因編輯技術整走BCL11A蛋白質，希望以2α2γ的方式根治為SCD及TDT疾病（Ref1)。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uQU3HHO4L

（圖4）整個過程的簡要為：567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmZGj8VCFb
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh6OSacvNA
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPigImlxNJy
首先促使病人血液充滿製作血細胞的幹細胞，繼而從血液中提取適合的幹細胞。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiWhVZBNtm
在實驗室內，利用CRISPR技術對製作BCL11A蛋白質的基因進行切割，567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3nlms0taz
大幅度減低造血幹細胞製作BCL11A蛋白質的能力。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm5skeQayb
最後再將基因編輯過的造血幹細胞注入在病人已被醫藥方式清除大部份幹細胞的骨髓內。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIKWyCTv4E
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfse0Wmyl1
（圖5）圖中分別為兩名病人手術後的數據。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwdpt65Mxs
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC9YRdV322
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1EMZ2o6MH
藍色區域為2α2γ紅血球，綠色及紫色區域為2α2β紅血球。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGSR8zggh3
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGGMqj8GpL
經過手術後， 2α2γ紅血球數量大升，而最振奮人心的是兩名病人手術後再也不用進行任何輸血(暫時所知時段為病人手術後的18個月)，其間的副作用一律均被順利治癒。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2P6MbytJT
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxTN7enIdf
CRISPR技術一直有著垢病有機會對預期以外的基因進行編輯，但此研究並沒有觀察得到出現此情況。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2djoLDW9Oq
而陸續至少有六名病人進利了一模一樣的手術，暫時所得的數據與文章一致。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7aNo5B6tp
567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyS11NbWvj
由此可以預見得到，CRISPR技術將會陸續成為醫治遺傳病的主流。567Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3JPgV2eId
