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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5yX2Fhu5p
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MOS0KEfMc
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVALUttXgYB
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppQeROdkd0
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaT6fn5fzf
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOUJ3hZhyg

（圖2）Globin蛋白是構成紅血球的主要蛋白質，共有α、β、 γ三種。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIGc9KIdeN
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9elaSBMjUH
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuDEKMjwmq
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1jFdyxKT8
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pwJwQQawB
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0qKtE80Pq
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwGmWlSxDm
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC8pfDrWJP
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOb25C96GY
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqy7ScdC7H
（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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUsUKb81qx
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oAF7HFw9f
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WdmOEEZxm
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?456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wxfJdOTCv
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcgQA40oWn
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXAWgyxW7
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)。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaPpTsaIZv

（圖4）整個過程的簡要為：456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSNy5xwgWC
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB4qrHaFXK
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqfFo0axMa
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhZQr4YRqL
在實驗室內，利用CRISPR技術對製作BCL11A蛋白質的基因進行切割，456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkAga47rYT
大幅度減低造血幹細胞製作BCL11A蛋白質的能力。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBRzxxiICh
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I28R88fbE
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjridVbOskL
（圖5）圖中分別為兩名病人手術後的數據。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ow0LDsx5
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ctJI6oxk
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4wMS4roa4
藍色區域為2α2γ紅血球，綠色及紫色區域為2α2β紅血球。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhf45tgAvV
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKobhmNitnN
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdbiZUzenf
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z61zuN28J
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML7zpPr1Xm
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMS9T3gMID
456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknTef8DjqH
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。456Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ1rZkzF1y
