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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6v6DtPgmJ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B7T952lrT
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4vCtVUoWY
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k7jD5lelP
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mpPKrwwmk
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPrvKY5gkV

（圖2）Globin蛋白是構成紅血球的主要蛋白質，共有α、β、 γ三種。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO1zFADQg0
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31RqQDBTmV
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuOgSGMIco
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n7B8ARNit
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGuDpAQktt
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hukacbne3
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhrxSuhLAq
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9RCBEB1uQ
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG1zfgygcl
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqXQ96yMGp
（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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuNKjBTqdh
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zzeSM1h4n
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStHru3KcpP
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?503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPWDDKhhqU
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB26vyRvZMR
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcfcSxpA4X
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)。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly86WzkVdV

（圖4）整個過程的簡要為：503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxofcF7dAX
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J4EeYyOHv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUbifOxYYJ
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgzkLwOHbi
在實驗室內，利用CRISPR技術對製作BCL11A蛋白質的基因進行切割，503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvjhaDXUR2
大幅度減低造血幹細胞製作BCL11A蛋白質的能力。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5QELr8KQ9
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdVBNQ8Lzh
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqBH5JkM2o
（圖5）圖中分別為兩名病人手術後的數據。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxb9DYd1cv
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyiYizrJGA
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DsyByRzh
藍色區域為2α2γ紅血球，綠色及紫色區域為2α2β紅血球。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT77JmINvN0
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupEwcwsqot
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM3u1Ji0Lm
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzD5yX9z9t
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLHY7yeHu1
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qGDNvMfmt
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvekyuv62w
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。503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8sX7v1tdt
