Stem from the tumor antigen small peptide of SAGE1
Technical field
The present invention relates to the newfound small peptide stemming from tumor antigen SAGE1, it is compound that this small peptide and MHC molecule are formed
Thing and the purposes of described small peptide and complex.Meanwhile, the invention still further relates to the molecule being combined with above-mentioned small peptide or complex, with
And the purposes of these molecules.
Background technology
It is known that under many pathological conditions, such as infection, cancer, autoimmune disease etc., all can there is some specific point
Sub is not suitable for expression.Therefore, these molecules have just become " labelling " of pathology or abnormality.These molecules not only can conduct
The label of medical diagnosis on disease, it may also be used for produce diagnostic reagent and/or therapeutic agent.For example, produce spy with the label of cancer
Fixed antibody.In addition, these molecules can also activated cell toxic T lymphocyte (CTL) effectively specific immune response,
Play antitumor efficiency, at the same time it can also the φt cell receptor that can combine with this " labelling " is obtained by the CTL of activation
(TCR) as therapeutic agent.Therefore, these molecules, play very important effect in the diagnosis and treatment of relevant disease.
For tumor, different endogenic tumor antigen molecules delivered by existing a lot of documents.But this is not
The real target spot of relevant disease, because causing CTL immune response and incomplete tumor antigen molecule, and comes from
The specific CTL epitope (Epitope) of antigen.Generally, tumor antigen in the cell pass through proteolysiss by its
Be processed into the polypeptide fragment of 8-16 amino acid length, i.e. CTL epi-position, so with endoplasmic in ajor histocompatibility
Complex (MHC, the MHC of the mankind is commonly referred to HLA gene or HLA complex) molecule combines to form polypeptide-MHC complex
(peptide-MHCcomplex, pMHC), and pMHC submission supplies CD8 to cell surface the most at last+The TCR identification on T cell surface.
Although the autochthonous tumor antigen molecule of correlation has early been delivered, we are simultaneously unaware of the concrete polypeptide fragment being rendered out.
Therefore, either still it is used for producing diagnostic reagent or the therapeutic reagent of relevant disease as vaccine, identifying these is in
It is delivered to the polypeptide fragment of 8-16 amino acid length of cell surface, i.e. CTL epi-position, it is critical that.People in the art
Member is devoted to finding and determine that these are presented to the polypeptide fragment of target cells.
The discovery of this polypeptide fragment by submission is a complicated process with determination, because polypeptide by HLA submission is
The common results of the interaction of the enzymolysis of antigen protein and polypeptide fragment and HLA.This explanation, complete tumor antigen molecule
Any information can not be provided for the discovery of polypeptide fragment with identification.The method using computer simulation delivered by a lot of documents, such as
Public database SYFPEITHI (Rammensee, et al., Immunogenetics.1999 (50):213-219) and BIMAS
(Parker,et al.,J.Immunol.1994.152:163) prediction algorithm, is provided to identify which polypeptide fragment may be by
Submission.But a kind of this simply prediction, has very big uncertainty, because after it is not real intracellular process and translation
Modification.Tumor tissues are after treatment, it is possible to use mass spectrograph Direct Identification goes out what tumor cell surface was gone out by submission
Polypeptide fragment is although this is a complicated process, but the result so obtaining is very reliable.Meanwhile, mass spectrometric spirit
Sensitivity is also sufficient to the modification after differentiating the polypeptide fragment of low concentration and translation, and therefore it is to find and determine tumor surface
The ideal tools of polypeptide fragment.
Research finds, SAGE1 antigen is in melanoma, bladder cancer, hepatocarcinoma, epidermoid carcinoma, nonsmall-cell lung cancer and squamous
All there is expression in the tumor tissues such as cell carcinoma, and do not express in the most normal structures in addition to testis (Martelange V1,
De Smet C,De Plaen E,Lurquin C,Boon T.Cancer Res.2000;60(14):3848-55;
Atanackovic D,etal.,Cancer Biol Ther.2006;5(9):1218-25).Therefore, stem from SAGE1 antigen
Peptide, as the target spot of above-mentioned kinds cancer, not only can be used as the label of above-mentioned medical diagnosis on disease, it may also be used for produce above-mentioned
The prevention reagent of disease and/or therapeutic agent, such as antibody or φt cell receptor.The present invention using spectrometer analysis and identifies swollen
What oncocyte surface was rendered stems from the new polypeptide fragment of tumor antigen SAGE1.

The BugBuster of 10 times of dilution, mixes, and 4 DEG C of 6000g are centrifuged 15min;Supernatant discarded, plus the BugBuster of 10 times of 30ml dilution
Resuspended inclusion body, mixes, and 4 DEG C of 6000g are centrifuged 15min, are repeated twice, plus the resuspended bag of 30ml 20mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0
Contain body, mix, 4 DEG C of 6000g are centrifuged 15min, finally use 20mM Tris-HCl 8M carbamide to dissolve inclusion body, SDS-PAGE detects
Inclusion body purity, BCA test kit surveys concentration.
B. renaturation
The peptide VLSTAPPQL (synthesis of Beijing SBS Genetech gene technology company limited) of the present invention is dissolved in DMSO extremely
The concentration of 20mg/ml.The inclusion body of light chain and heavy chain is dissolved with 8M carbamide, 20mM Tris pH 8.0,10mM DTT, renaturation
Front addition 3M guanidine hydrochloride, 10mM Sodium Acetate Trihydrate, the further degeneration of 10mM EDTA.VLSTAPPQL peptide is added with 25mg/L (final concentration)
Enter renaturation buffer (0.4M L-Arginine, 100mM Tris pH 8.3,2mM EDTA, 0.5mM GSSG, 5mM
Reduced glutathion, 0.2mM PMSF, are cooled to 4 DEG C), then sequentially add the light chain of 20mg/L and the heavy chain of 90mg/L
(final concentration, heavy chain adds in three times, 8h/ time), renaturation carries out at least 3 days to completing at 4 DEG C, and can SDS-PAGE detection renaturation
Success.
C. purification after renaturation
Change renaturation buffer as dialysis with the 20mM Tris pH 8.0 of 10 volumes, at least change buffer twice
Fully reduce the ionic strength of solution.With 0.45 μm of cellulose acetate sheets filtration protein solution after dialysis, it is then loaded into
On HiTrap Q HP (GE General Electric Co. Limited) anion-exchange column (5ml bed volume).Using Akta purification instrument (the general electricity of GE
Gas company), the 0-400mMNaCl linear gradient liquid wash-out protein that 20mM Tris pH 8.0 prepares, pMHC is about in 250mM
Eluting at NaCl, collects all peaks component, and SDS-PAGE detects purity.The glue figure of the solubility pMHC complex of the present invention obtaining is such as
Shown in Fig. 2.
D. biotinylation
With Millipore super filter tube by the pMHC molecular concentration of purification, buffer exchange is 20mM Tris pH simultaneously
8.0, it is subsequently adding biotinylation reagent 0.05M Bicine pH 8.3,10mM ATP, 10mM MgOAc, 50 μM of D-
Biotin, 100 μ g/ml BirA enzyme (GST-BirA), overnight, whether SDS-PAGE detection biotinylation for incubated at room mixture
Completely.
E. the complex after purifying biological elementization
With Millipore super filter tube by the pMHC molecular concentration after biotinylation labelling to 1ml, using gel permeation chromatography
The pMHC of purifying biological elementization, using Akta purification instrument (GE General Electric Co. Limited), with filtered PBS pre-equilibration HiPrepTM
16/60S200HR post (GE General Electric Co. Limited), loads the concentrated biotinylation pMHC molecule of 1ml, then uses PBS with 1ml/
Min flow velocity eluting.
