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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IhnmQC8eb
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMqtS5C3tQ
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXzqi05VY5
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0w1Kpn7OM
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHtJiiToSw
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpI61i7i8j

（圖2）Globin蛋白是構成紅血球的主要蛋白質，共有α、β、 γ三種。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWFzERx0y4
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h2lJqGfKw
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JPtyTNV82
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Rohh4kUU
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl5TjhzBFn
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplqhQ7Jmwa
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT1eFpqIgD
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r98Q9SDjP
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvUaNON4Zv
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJKWaGOaBK
（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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoyTOhvyoI
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibCB0FuEOk
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ0C1W30Px
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?459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOrwgJDfDX
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf7EjuRkJl
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1mxr5EZVU
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)。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cp9kK226A

（圖4）整個過程的簡要為：459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9VhF9KxtY
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkLZMlfZn9
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGUjwb6QB5
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfI9XIUl2G
在實驗室內，利用CRISPR技術對製作BCL11A蛋白質的基因進行切割，459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvh3XKUrjO
大幅度減低造血幹細胞製作BCL11A蛋白質的能力。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ73AWocFh2
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVMrICtk6m
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutq9YAxvM1
（圖5）圖中分別為兩名病人手術後的數據。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSdFLYoHFp
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qGfMspT8U
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ77IpVQP7
藍色區域為2α2γ紅血球，綠色及紫色區域為2α2β紅血球。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TTFeaHHj6
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9eFnB9MlR
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNOBpISnKo
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGBPXaTlav
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckBXwSdK0f
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5xC5D5eoa
459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtzTrB04yf
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。459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF4WmVcvoM
