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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN7B4uKVUC
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdfXuewX9i
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvWuO3CpG6
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScUpr3hTsv
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUmyg8Li5g
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtENw99ydn

（圖2）Globin蛋白是構成紅血球的主要蛋白質，共有α、β、 γ三種。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JICvucg5c
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VzLiPRGiT
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVvClYyzvX
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4GFjGbwRJ
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6Ir6kjmOo
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UFULoYhdN
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y5mpcugSF
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Fmal49jPn
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCkPR5guh
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmteYMekgMl
（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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGjmKtN3SK
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9B2j9dTX
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2bI5H7DfS
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?453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb00vmitD4c
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqY2sXjTDp
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bTkgmue7A
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)。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvBiFILiJJ

（圖4）整個過程的簡要為：453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs0WZPyqQT

453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfxmyogWkP
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkbLAi8J9w
在實驗室內，利用CRISPR技術對製作BCL11A蛋白質的基因進行切割，453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg0uUaIV3c
大幅度減低造血幹細胞製作BCL11A蛋白質的能力。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKV37sChZ5
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVk66T5toG
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xgM7ijVtA
（圖5）圖中分別為兩名病人手術後的數據。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ4DPnDWre
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaO2jXHDkL
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwEMMR5RDI
藍色區域為2α2γ紅血球，綠色及紫色區域為2α2β紅血球。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIOit4mBzB
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhx4z3ydSd
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomUCUL1mU3
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsW7HtEOdr
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXSZcXDo4D
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzyiqYB8Og
453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC2R2wrjCt
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。453Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSis3dCsEXW
