Description

恶性疟原虫新的抗原候选基因PfMAg
本发明为一种恶性疟原虫新的抗原候选基因PfMAg的免疫保护作用,涉及生物医学高技术中的基因的开发与应用领域。
疟疾是当今世界上最致命的传染病之一。全球每年约有3亿到5亿人感染,2百万人死亡。其生活史可以简单归纳如下:当雌性按蚊叮咬宿主时,单核的子孢子从血循环侵入肝细胞,并在此发育为成熟的肝内期裂殖体。成熟的肝裂殖子从肝细胞内释放入血,侵入红细胞进行红内期无性生殖,经过2至3天后发育为成熟的裂殖体,从每个感染红细胞内可释放6至30个裂殖子。这些裂殖子再侵入其它红细胞,进行多轮扩增,导致大量的红细胞被感染、破裂,裂殖子和疟原虫的代谢产物、残余和变性的血红蛋白以及红细胞碎片等一并进入血流,刺激免疫细胞产生内源性热源质,起周期性寒热发作,并出现贫血及脾肿大。与此同时,少量裂殖子发育为有性期的雌、雄配子体,当宿主再次被蚊子叮咬后随血液进入蚊体开始其生活史的蚊虫期,生成下一代子孢子。疟疾疫苗的研究工作已经开展了50多年,但因其生活史复杂,抗原具有多态性等特点,目前仍没有高效的保护性抗原出现。恶性疟原虫肝内期和蚊期疫苗不能阻断红内期的感染,允许一部分原虫进入红细胞。虽然有证据表明,红前期疫苗可以导致发病率的降低。但从流行病学分析,当红前期疫苗在突变发生或免疫接种中止时,会造成大规模流行发生的危险;而红内期疫苗直接针对疟原虫的致病阶段,不会引起上述危险的发生。同时疟原虫在红内期每一个复制周期,都会加强机体的免疫反应。目前红内期疫苗的研究取得了一定的进展,其中红内期重复序列多肽疫苗由于具有表位稳定,表位密度大,引起免疫反应强的特点,在疟疾疫苗的研究中逐渐受到重视。
本发明的目的在于:寻找和克隆恶性疟原红内期新的抗原候选基因。
本发明的内容是应用cDNA文库筛选、DNA序列测定技术、分子克隆、聚合酶链式反应(PCR)、Wes tern印迹杂交法,克隆恶性疟原虫红内期新的抗原候选基因PfMAg,并用酶联免疫吸附实验(ELISA)及恶性疟原虫体外抑制实验进行了免疫学分析。
该基因达到的技术指标为:
1.恶性疟原虫红内期新的抗原候选基因PfMAg cDNA片段长1938bp,含有一个1767bp的完整的ORF,编码589个氨基酸、分子量为65kD的蛋白质;编码蛋白C末端存在14次10肽[(Q/K)T(D/E)E(I/L)(K/N)ND(H/N)I]的重复片段,该片段与鼠约氏疟红内期抗原PyAg-1C末端有69%的相似性。(图1)
2.恶性疟原虫红内期新的抗原候选基因PfMAg其C端十肽重复片段重组蛋白在大肠杆菌BL21株中表达(图2),该重组蛋白与病人血清和正常人血清的反应有显著差别(P<0.05),可识别病人血清(图4)。
3.恶性疟原虫红内期新的抗原候选基因PfMAg在红内期裂殖体期特异表达(图3)。
4.抗恶性疟原虫多克隆IgG在体外可抑制恶性疟原虫Dd2株和FCC1株的生长(图5)。
本项发明的优点:对筛选的恶性疟原虫红内期新的抗原候选基因PfMAg进行免疫学的研究,为恶性疟原虫的免疫治疗提供了新的保护性候选抗原。

实施例1:恶性疟原虫新的抗原候选基因PfMAg的克隆及序列分析
1.M26-32单抗的制备
M26-32为我研究室早期制备的单克隆抗体。用粗提的约氏疟原虫裂殖子腹腔注射免疫BALB/C小鼠,5周后用约氏疟裂殖子加强免疫,融合前尾静脉注射恶性疟原虫裂殖子。取其脾细胞与Sp2/0瘤细胞融合,获得一种能产生抗疟原虫单克隆抗体M26-32的杂交瘤。杂交瘤细胞腹腔注射BALB/C小鼠,产生的腹水作为下一步免疫筛库的一抗。
2.红内期cDNA文库的筛选
利用Promega公司Protoblot Immunoscreening Sys tem,按其说明书对恶性疟原虫Dd2株红内期cDNAλZAP文库进行筛选。一抗为M26-32腹水(1∶500倍稀释),二抗为碱性磷酸酶联的羊抗鼠IgG(1∶7500倍稀释)。经两次筛选,获得阳性克隆后,送于大连宝生物公司进行序列测定。
3.PfMAg cDNA5’末端的快速扩增
根据测序得到的阳性克隆的序列,设计三段引物:
RACE1:5’TACGCATATTTCCTGCTCTAATAC3’;
RACE2:5’GTATTAAGCTTATATCATTTATATC3’;
RACE3:5’GGAAAACATTTTGATATTATGCTGGC3’.按照5′RACE System for Rapid Ampl ification of cDNA Ends(GIBICOL公司,货号CAT.NO.18374-058)试剂盒说明书,利用上述引物,扩增PfMAg cDNA5’末端,得到的片段送于送于大连宝生物公司进行序列测定。
4.PfMAg cDNA片段序列与编码氨基酸的分析
利用WINSTAR软件分析、拼接,得到恶性疟原虫红内期新的抗原候选基因PfMAg cDNA片段长1938bp,含有一个1767bp的完整的ORF,编码589个氨基酸、分子量为65kD的蛋白质。在编码蛋白C末端存在14次10肽[(Q/K)T(D/E)E(I/L)(K/N)ND(H/N)I]的重复片段。利用BLASTP程序在GenBank分析该片段与鼠约氏疟红内期抗原PypAg-1(GenBankNUMBER:AF103869)C末端有69%的相似性。(图1)
实施例2:PfMAg C端重复10肽免疫血清的制备及纯化
1.PfMAg C端重复10肽的亚克隆
根据PfMAg C端1381bp到1938bp序列设计引物:上游:5′CCATGGATGTGAAAGAAAGTAACACTC3’,包含NcoI位点(下划线),下游:5′GGATCCGAGATATTACTATATATTTTGTATGG3’,包含BamHI位点(下划线)。用此对引物经PCR从PfMAg cDNA克隆中扩增得到657bp片段。将此片段经NcoI、BamHI酶切后,亚克隆于大肠杆菌表达载体pET30a(Novagen)。正确的克隆转化大肠杆菌BL21株,经37℃ IPTG诱导3小时,得到PfMAg C端重复10肽融合重组蛋白。(图2)。
2.重组蛋白的纯化及免疫血清的制备与纯化
重组蛋白根据Novagen产品说明书进行纯化。100μg的纯化蛋白免疫兔子,每两周加强一次,共加强4次。免疫血清经两次硫酸胺沉淀后,过DEAE-52柱纯化得到IgG.
实施例3:PfMAg基因红内期特异性表达
1.恶性疟原虫红内期特异性全蛋白的制备
恶性疟原虫Dd2红内期(红内期疟原虫可分为环状滋养体、成熟滋养体、裂殖体和裂殖子阶段)虫株经5%山梨醇处理两次后,48小时和72小时分别取相同体积的红细胞,用等体积SDS电泳上样缓冲液100℃煮沸5分钟,用同样体积的红细胞作为阴性对照。
2.Wes tern印迹分析恶性疟原虫PfMAg基因红内期的特异性表达
等体积的恶性疟原虫红内期全蛋白经SDS-PAGE电泳后,转移于PVDF膜上(Roche公司),用BM化学发光试剂盒(Roche公司)检测,以1∶500上述免疫血清作为第一抗体。结果证明仅红内期裂殖体期有65KD特异表达带(图3)。
实施例4:ELISA检测病人血清与重组蛋白的免疫反应
以PfMAg C端重复10肽的重组蛋白包板,以恶性疟病人血清、正常人血清为一抗(1∶200),各取样本14个,以HRP标记的羊抗人IgG(1∶20000)为二抗,进行酶联免疫吸附实验。经显色,读取各孔OD值。将恶性疟病人OD值与正常人OD值进行分析比较,用EPI5.0软件包进行分析,得到P<0.05,两个群体OD值有显著差异,即病人血清与重组蛋白的免疫反应显著高于正常人(图4)。
实施例5 恶性疟原虫的体外抑制
1.正常人单核细胞的分离
从正常中国成年人体内取全血,以肝素抗凝。全血经Ficoll-Hypaque密度梯度离心后,分离到单个核细胞。将细胞用RPMI1640不完全培养基(Gibico公司)重悬,37℃,5%CO2孵箱孵育90分钟,洗去未粘附的细胞,贴壁的细胞用NSE染色(Sigma公司)确认其中单核细胞数。
2.恶性疟原虫体外抑制实验
以两次5%山梨醇处理的恶性疟原虫Dd2虫株和FCC1虫株作为实验虫株,起始虫血率为1%。在96孔培养板上设计如下实验:(1)抗PfMAg重复十肽IgG;(2)抗PfMAg重复十肽IgG,单核细胞;(3)正常兔IgG;(4)正常兔IgG,单核细胞;(5)单核细胞。其中每孔中总体积为200μl,红细胞与单核细胞比为200∶1,IgG浓度为原始IgG浓度的5%,10%,20%。5%CO2,5%O2,90%N2,37℃培养48小时后计数虫血率。结果显示,与对照相比,抗PfMAg IgG在一定浓度能有效抑制恶性疟原虫的生长(图5)。这种抑制与单核细胞的存在无关,说明抗PfMAg重复十肽IgG的抑制作用发生在裂殖子侵染阶段。
本发明表明抗PfMAg重复十肤IgG在体外可有效抑制恶性疟原虫的生长,据此其可作为保护性候选抗原,应用于恶性疟原虫的免疫治疗。
