Description

Polypeptide for resisting coccidiosis infection and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a polypeptide for resisting coccidium infection of chicken and application thereof, belonging to the field of polypeptide for resisting coccidium infection and application thereof.
Background
In the daily breeding process, the coccidiosis disease can be caused by the chicken ingesting water or food polluted by coccidian sporulated oocysts, all the day-old of each variety of chicken can be infected, and the chicken is susceptible to infection at the age of 3-6 weeks generally (Liu Jian Tao. comprehensive control technology of chicken coccidiosis [ J ]. contemporary livestock and poultry breeding, 2017, (10): 35.). After being ingested, the pathogenic coccidian oocysts are oozed under the action of a digestive system, and then the microspores secrete microline proteins, and when the sporozoites randomly collide with host cells, the microspores are combined with corresponding receptor molecules on the surfaces of the cells; when sporozoites adhere to the surface of a host cell, organelles such as rods and compact granules secrete invasion-related proteins and enzymes, thereby facilitating entry of the sporozoites into the host cell. Sporozoites entering host cells firstly travel to generation of schizogenesis, which seriously damages small intestine villus epithelial cells and causes pathological changes such as intestinal bleeding and inflammation. After the merogenesis, the sexual reproduction stage is carried out, and the large and small gametes developed by sporozoites are fused to form zygotes and further developed into mature oocysts which are discharged out of the body along with feces.
At present, chicken coccidiosis has great harm to poultry industry worldwide, causing huge economic loss, wherein the harm brought by E.tenella is the greatest. Currently, the feeding of anticoccidial drugs and the preparation of vaccines using live coccidia are the main methods for combating coccidiosis. But the sensitivity of the coccidia to the medicine is lower and lower in the process of using the anticoccidial medicine, the dosage of the medicine has to be increased, so that the coccidia generates the drug resistance and the treatment cost is increased; in the process of using the attenuated live vaccine to prevent coccidiosis, some chickens with poor body resistance or susceptibility to coccidiosis only have the phenomenon of coccidiosis infection, thereby losing the significance of preventing coccidiosis. At present, many researches are carried out from the aspects of important parasite antigen epitopes, immune recognition of specific protein molecules, interaction between antigens and antibodies, and the like, but no commercial novel vaccine is available at present. In recent years, researchers have become aware that the development of new coccidia vaccines requires the first clarification of the mechanisms of invasion by the individual stages of the worm. Research shows that the E.tenella microwire protein 3(E.tenella MIC3) plays an important role in the coccidium invasion process and can be used as a vaccine candidate protein for effectively preventing coccidium diseases. In the process of free collision between sporozoites and chicken cecal epithelial cells, EtMIC3 secreted on the surface of sporozoites by a microwire and receptor molecules on the surface of host cells are specifically combined, so that a precondition is provided for invasion of polypide into the host cells. EtMIC3 includes 7 domains (A, B, C1, C2, C3, C4, D), including the middle 4 completely conserved repeat domains (C1, C2, C3, C4) and two ends 3 incompletely conserved regions (A, B, D), and it is not clear which fragments play a major role in the invasion process of the insect body. The invasion process of E.tenella is very complicated, the invasion characteristic brings great difficulty for the treatment and prevention of coccidian diseases caused by the E.tenella, the discovery of proteins relatively conserved in the invasion and development stages of E.tenella is the key for preventing coccidian diseases, and the conserved proteins are developed into recombinant vaccine immune chicks through certain technical means, so that specific immune response of corresponding proteins can be generated in an organism to resist coccidian infection and protect the organism.
Phage display technologies (Phage display technologies) are a new biotechnology that can insert DNA sequences of other foreign proteins into the structural genes of Phage capsid proteins, and the inserted foreign genes are expressed along with the Phage capsid proteins, and the foreign proteins are displayed on the surface of Phage when the Phage is reassembled (Smothers JF, et al. Phage display: affinity selection from biological libraries [ J ]. Science,2002,298(5593):621 and 622). This technique was created by Smith et al in 1985 by inserting a foreign gene into the gene III of phage f1, and displaying the polypeptide encoded by this foreign gene on the surface of the phage as a fusion protein (Smith G P. structural fusion protein expression vectors connected with the virus surface [ J ] Science,1985,228(4705): 1315-1317.). By this technique, not only the specific protein required by people can be displayed on the surface of phage, but also the structural gene corresponding to the specific protein can be included in the core DNA of phage, so that the phage virion can reach the state of uniform genotype and phenotype, and the phage can display the foreign peptide or protein with independent spatial structure and biological activity (Pascke M. phase display systems and the third applications [ J ]. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology,2006,70(1): 2-11.). Phage display technology also combines gene expression products with affinity screening (Smothers J F, Henikoff S, Carter P.Tech.Sight.Phage display.affinity selection from biological proteins [ J ]. Science,2002,298(5593):621-2.) by selecting appropriate proteins of interest and screening the phage display library according to phage screening procedures to obtain ligands that specifically bind to the proteins of interest. Then, the gene sequence and protein structure of the screened ligand are analyzed by related technical means, so that the action mechanism of the target protein and the ligand thereof can be more specifically understood. With the continuous improvement of phage display technology, the technology has penetrated into the research fields of intercellular signal transduction, gene expression and regulation, antibody preparation, drug screening, vaccine development, disease diagnosis and treatment, etc., and becomes an important technical means in many research fields (wangxin 29760, in pofeng, jiazhen, etc.. the overview and application of phage display technology [ J ]. the journal of chinese pharmacology and toxicology, 2019, 33 (10): 930..
The phage display technology has many advantages, such as the ability to analyze the molecular structure of antigen and antibody, identify epitope of antigen, screen out the affinity peptide of antigen or antibody, stable affinity, easy mass amplification, etc., so it has important role in the research and prevention of parasitic diseases. By screening antibody libraries with related proteins by phage display technology, the finally screened high affinity antibody mimetics can be applied to the diagnosis and treatment of some parasitic diseases. The phage display library or the antibody library is subjected to biological panning by using related antibodies or antibody preparations, related specifically-bound polypeptides can be screened, and the analysis of the structure and the function of the antigens related to the parasitic diseases is facilitated by performing sequence analysis, immunocompetence judgment and other treatments on the specifically-bound polypeptides.

Detailed description of the invention
According to the invention, after the pET-30a-EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein expressed by pronucleus is purified and renatured, immunization is carried out on the New Zealand white rabbits in a mode of back subcutaneous multipoint injection. The indirect ELISA method detection result shows that the titer of the prepared polyclonal antiserum is 216It is shown that the immunization program chosen and the amount of protein used for immunization are reasonable in the preparation of the polyclonal antibody. A Western blot method is adopted to detect the biological activity of the prepared EtMIC3-BC1 polyclonal antiserum. The result shows that the recombinant target protein and the sporozoite protein can be specifically combined with the polyclonal antiserum, and obvious bands appear at the position of 41kDa, which indicates that an antibody induced by the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein induced by a prokaryotic expression system has good biological activity.
The invention takes the purified and renatured EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein as a target molecule, and totally carries out 4 rounds of biological screening according to a phage dodecapeptide library and a phage screening manual, thereby screening phage clone which can be specifically combined with the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein. In the screening process, the same number of phages are respectively put into each round of biological screening, and the number of eluted phages shows an increasing trend along with the increase of the times of biological screening, which shows that the more the screening times are, the more phages capable of specifically binding with the target protein are. After the fourth screening, thirty well-conditioned plaques are randomly picked from an IPTG/Xgal plate for phage amplification, the binding capacity of 30 phage amplification supernatants and EtMIC3-BC1 protein is detected by an indirect ELISA method, 24 phage monoclonals with higher affinity are selected according to the ELISA result, and DNA of positive binding clones is extracted according to the method steps provided by a phage screening manual. The phage specificity primer sequences provided in the manual are used as an upstream template and a downstream template, each phage DNA is identified by PCR, the 1% gel electrophoresis result shows that the selected 24 phage single clones can amplify target fragments with the size of about 250bp, PCR products are recovered and sequenced, and the nucleotide sequences of the phage clones are deduced according to a simplified genetic code table, so that the amino acid sequences of each affinity phage are obtained. The analysis of the obtained amino acid sequences shows that the total number of the selected 24 affinity dodecapeptides is eight, and three sequences which have higher affinity with EtMIC3-BC1 and relatively more polypeptide sequences are selected through analysis and are respectively as follows: AGRLLTPTMSLV (A peptide), DYHDPSLPTLGK (D peptide), WKDVHKAWLLEP (W peptide). In order to further detect the three selected polypeptides, the binding capacity of the phage corresponding to the three polypeptides and EtMIC3-BC1 is detected by an ELISA method, and the result shows that the phage corresponding to the three polypeptides can be well bound with EtMIC3-BC 1; the rabbit anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody can be combined with three affinity phages competitively and combined with the EtMIC3-BC1 protein by performing a competition ELISA experiment by using the anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody, thereby indicating that a combination site similar to the anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody possibly exists on the sequence of the affinity phages; the sporozoite ultrasonic products are respectively subjected to ELISA reaction with three affinity phages, and the test result can analyze that the affinity phages can be combined with a certain concentration of EtMIC3 protein. The results of the affinity detection tests show that the three screened polypeptides have certain specificity, so that the polypeptides synthesized by the three sequences and having the purity of 95 percent are further subjected to in vitro coccidium resistance tests and in vivo coccidium resistance tests.
The invention proves that the three screened affinity polypeptides can be specifically combined with EtMIC3-BC1, so that the invention further discusses whether the three screened polypeptides can inhibit E.tenella sporozoites from invading MDBK cells as well as the anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 multi-resistance. In the in vitro experiment process, the sporozoites are fluorescently labeled with a CFDA-SE fluorescent probe capable of generating irreversible binding in the sporozoites before invading the MDBK cells, 300 mu g/mL rabbit anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody is used as a control, and the detection result is carried out by a flow cytometer after the invasion is finished. Experimental results show that the addition of the anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody can obviously inhibit the invasion of sporozoites to MDBK cells, and the inhibition rate reaches 75.2%, when the concentrations of the A peptide, the D peptide and the W peptide are respectively 25 mu g/mL, 50 mu g/mL, 75 mu g/mL, 100 mu g/mL and 125 mu g/mL (within the maximum nontoxic concentration range of the cells), the three polypeptides can inhibit the invasion of sporozoites to the MDBK cells to a certain extent, and when the concentration is 125 mu g/mL, the inhibition rates of the A peptide and the D peptide respectively reach 71.8% and 54.6%. The above test results all show that the three selected affinity peptides can inhibit the invasion of E.tenella sporozoites to MDBK cells in vitro to a certain extent.
The screened polypeptide is proved to be capable of inhibiting E.tenella sporozoites from invading MDBK cells to a certain extent in vitro, but whether the corresponding phages can also play a role in resisting coccidiosis in vivo is not clear, so the invention further judges the coccidiosis resisting role of the selected phages through oral administration of the corresponding phages to chickens infected with Eimeria tenella oocysts and through observation of the oocyst reduction rate, weight gain effect, caecum lesion score, gram oocyst number, ACI and caecum histopathology of the chickens.
In the development process of the coccidiosis in chickens, mature oocysts are swallowed and then enter the digestive tract, sporozoites escape from the oocysts through mechanical grinding of gastrointestinal tract peristalsis and chemical digestion of trypsin and bile, and enter intestinal epithelium for schizogenesis. From oocysts to ovaIt takes 2.5-3 days for the spore to crack to produce the first generation schizonts and develop into merozoites (suo xu, edited by Lizhou Qing dynasty, coccidiosis in chickens, China agriculture university Press, 199808.). In addition, among a plurality of vaccination modes of the vaccine, the oral vaccine has great temptation in vaccine research due to the characteristics of simple and convenient operation, low cost, convenient popularization and the like. Studies have shown that the bacteriophage can activate the innate and adaptive immune system to enhance the immunity of the organism (Krystina L, Hess C M, Jewell. Phage display as a tool for vaccine and immunotherapy)].Bioengineering& a study of the ability of phages to stimulate the body to produce an immune response after immunization as an oral vaccine has also been reported (Scott J K, Smith G P. searching for peptide ligands with an epitope library [ J.]Science,1990,249 (4967)). Therefore, the experiment is orally taken by 1X 10 chickens at 21 days of age4Each E.tenella sporulated oocyst is orally taken by 1 multiplied by 10 for 0-2 days after the attack of the insect12pfu corresponding phage was evaluated for the inhibition of invasion by the selected polypeptides, and two control groups of PBS and e.tenella were set. All chickens were killed by dissecting on the eighth day after the attack of the insects, and compared with the control group of the attack of the insects, the weight gains of the A group, the D group and the W group were more, the caecum lesion symptoms were relatively lighter, the number of oocysts discharged was less, the ACIs of the A group and the D group were 168.74 and 161.27 respectively, the anticoccidial effect was better, the ACI of the W group was 153.64, and the anticoccidial effect was relatively weaker. The test result proves that the three phages selected by oral administration have a certain degree of coccidian infection resistance in vivo, and the vaccine form also has important significance in the practical application of diseases.

2.4 detection of polypeptide affinity
2.4.1 ELISA method for detecting the binding condition of affinity phage and EtMIC3-BC1
The titer was 1.0X 10 respectively6、1.0×108、1.0×1010、1.0×1012The phage supernatant corresponding to the A, D, W peptide of pfu was reacted with EtMIC3-BC1(0.1mg/mL) recombinant protein and the binding of the selected polypeptide to EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein was examined. The results show that the phage supernatants corresponding to the three selected polypeptides can have certain reactivity with the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein, and the binding capacity is enhanced along with the increase of the titer of the supernatants; in contrast, the binding capacity of the unrelated phage (VSV G protein affinity phage) to the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein was not significantly altered. The results showed that three positive phages selected from the fourth round of bioscreening products were able to specifically bind to the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein (FIG. 8).
2.4.2 binding of EtMIC3-BC1 Multi-antibody competitive inhibition affinity phage to EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein
FIG. 9 shows that rabbit anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody can inhibit to some extent the binding of the corresponding phage of the three polypeptides (A peptide, D peptide, W peptide) to the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein, compared to unrelated polyclonal antibodies. The inhibition of the binding of the corresponding phages for peptide A and peptide D to the EtMIC3-BC1 recombinant protein increased with increasing antibody concentration, and the overall trend was enhanced. There was no significant change in the inhibitory effect of the addition of the unrelated polyclonal antibody. The three selected phage clones (especially the phage corresponding to the A peptide and the D peptide) are possible to simulate the binding epitope on rabbit anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibody, and are well combined with EtMIC3-BC1 and have higher affinity.
2.4.3 ELISA detection of binding of Pest EtMIC3 protein to affinity phage
The binding of the three phage clones screened and the sporozoite sonicator was tested by ELISA. The results show (fig. 10) that three phage clones were able to bind to some extent to the sporozoite sonicator, with A, D peptide-corresponding phage binding to the sporozoite sonicator stronger than the W peptide-corresponding phage, while the unrelated phage (VSV G protein affinity phage) did not react significantly with the sporozoite sonicator, which demonstrates that the three selected phage were able to bind specifically to the etimic 3 protein.

Mature oocysts obtained by collecting and purifying chicken droppings infected with E.tenella sporulated oocysts 7-11 d are sporulated, and sporozoites are purified by means of physical grinding, chemical digestion and the like (FIG. 11A). The purified sporozoites were fluorescently labeled according to the instructions of the FDA-SE test kit (FIG. 11B).
2.2 determination of the concentration of the polypeptide
After the A peptide, the D peptide and the W peptide with different concentrations are respectively acted on MDBK cells for 10 hours, and then the absorbance value at 490nm of each peptide is detected by a microplate reader. The results showed that the differences between the OD490nm of the MDBK cells and the cell control wells were all very significant (P < 0.01) when the concentrations of the A peptide (FIG. 12A), the D peptide (FIG. 12B) and the W peptide (FIG. 12C) were 1mg/mL, 0.5mg/mL, and 0.25mg/mL, and that the OD490nm of the MDBK cells was not significantly different from the cell control wells when the concentrations of the A peptide, the D peptide and the W peptide were 0.125mg/mL, indicating that the maximum non-toxic concentration of the A peptide, the D peptide and the W peptide to the MDBK cells was 125. mu.g/mL. In the figure, indicates that the difference is extremely significant (P < 0.01); indicates significant difference (P < 0.05). The notations of the images in the following figures are synonymous.
2.3 EtMC3-BC polyclonal antibody inhibits E.tenella sporozoite from invading MDBK cells
The ability of anti-EtMIC 3-BC1 polyclonal antibodies after 100-fold, 200-fold and 300-fold dilution to inhibit the invasion of E.tenella sporozoites into MDBK cells was examined by flow cytometry. The results showed that the inhibition rate of polyclonal antibody after 100-fold dilution for inhibiting e.tenella sporozoites from invading MDBK cells was 75.2%, which was significantly higher than the inhibition efficiency of polyclonal antibody after 200-fold and 300-fold dilution (P < 0.01) for e.tenella sporozoites from invading MDBK cells (fig. 13), thus serving as an antibody control after 100-fold dilution of polyclonal antibody at the original concentration when the inhibitory ability of polypeptide on e.tenella sporozoites from invading MDBK cells was examined.
2.4 inhibition of E.tenella sporozoites invading MDBK cells by Polypeptides
As shown in FIG. 14, the inhibition of invasion of the MDBK cells in vitro by the sporozoites in the group of peptides A, the group of peptides D and the group of peptides W were compared, and the remaining concentrations of all three polypeptides were significantly lower than those in the group of antibodies (P < 0.01), except that the A peptide was significantly lower than that in the group of antibodies (P < 0.05) at a concentration of 125. mu.g/mL. The inhibition rate of each concentration of the A peptide group is remarkably higher than that of the D peptide group and the W peptide group (P is less than 0.01); the inhibition rate of each concentration of the D peptide group is very obvious (P is less than 0.01) and is higher than that of the W peptide group. The inhibition rates of the A peptide, the D peptide and the W peptide on the invasion of E.tenella sporozoites into MDBK cells at a concentration of 125. mu.g/mL were 71.8%, 54.6% and 20.8%, respectively. The inhibition rates of the A peptide, D peptide and W peptide on the invasion of MDBK cells by E.tenella sporozoites were 39.2%, 20.4% and 4.8%, respectively, at a concentration of 25. mu.g/mL. The rate of inhibition of invasion of each polypeptide increased with increasing concentration of the polypeptide. Therefore, the screened three polypeptides can inhibit E.tenella sporozoites from invading MDBK cells to a certain extent, but the inhibition effect of the W peptide is poor, the effects of the A peptide and the D peptide are obviously superior to those of the W peptide, and the effect of the A peptide is superior to that of the D peptide.

The scoring criteria were as follows:
0 minute: the cecum has normal eye sight and good tissue form;
1 minute: a few bleeding points can be observed on the wall of the cecum, the thickness is normal, and abnormal contents do not appear in the intestinal tract;
and 2, dividing: more obvious bleeding points can be observed on the wall of the cecum, the intestinal wall has slight swelling phenomenon, some lesions even appear, and a small amount of red excrement can be observed in the intestinal tract;

The results showed that no mortality occurred and 100% survival occurred in each experimental group. The average body weight of the chickens in the PBS group is higher than that of the chickens in the other groups, compared with the attack control group, the average body weight of the chickens in the phage immune group corresponding to the A, D, W polypeptide is obvious (P < 0.05) and higher than that of the chickens in the E.tenella attack control group, and no statistical difference exists among the three phage immune groups (Table 5). The different capital superscripts indicate very significant differences between groups (P < 0.01), the lower case superscripts indicate significant differences (P < 0.05), and FIG. 15 is the same.

Figure BDA0002597049700000162
2.2 Coccidia infection Blind lesion score
After one week of E.tenella infection, the chickens in each experimental group did not die, and the caecum lesion scores of the chickens in groups A, D and W orally administered with the phages were significantly reduced compared with the control group of attack worms (P < 0.01). And the cecal lesion scores of group a and group D were significantly lower than those of group W; group a was not significantly different from group D. Shows that the oral phage has certain effect of resisting coccidian infection.
2.3 reduction rate of oocyst shedding
The number of oocysts purified from feces collected on day seven after infection with e.tenella in each group was shown (fig. 16), and the oocyst excretion reduction rate was 100% in the PBS group, 47.42% in the a group, 40.78% in the D group, and 8.52% in the W group, compared to the e.tenella attack insect control group, which had an oocyst excretion reduction rate of 0%. The result shows that the body can have a certain coccidian infection resistance effect by orally taking the bacteriophage.
2.4 anticoccidial index (ACI)
The ACI of each experimental group is calculated to be 200, 168.74, 161.27 and 118.21 respectively, wherein the ACI of the group A and the group D is more than 160, and the group W has a good protection effect on organisms and a certain anti-coccidiosis protection effect.
TABLE 6 anticoccidial index
Figure BDA0002597049700000163
Figure BDA0002597049700000171
Note: ACI is excellent above 180, good between 160 and 180, poor between 120 and 160, and ineffective below 120.
2.5 caecum pathological changes
In the test process, the E.tenella attack control group had diarrhea on day 3 after being infected with E.tenella sporulated oocysts, and the subsequent A, D and W groups had loose stools successively, so that the chickens in each group had normal mental status, normal food intake and drinking water. Except the PBS group, bloody stool appears in other experimental groups at the fifth day after insect attack, the insect attack control is most obvious, and the A group, the D group and the W group are slight. Chickens of the experimental groups were dissected at day 8 after infestation and observed for the pathological changes of the cecum eye. The results show (fig. 17) that the cecum in the PBS group (fig. 17, 1 and 2) was morphologically normal with no apparent macroscopic pathological changes. In comparison to the PBS group, the cecum was slightly swollen in groups a (fig. 17, 3 and 4) and D (fig. 17, 5 and 6), with scattered needle-size bleeding spots visible on the surface; cecum swelling was more evident in group W (fig. 17, 7 and 8), with increased superficial bleeding spots; the caecum on both sides of the control group (FIGS. 17, 9 and 10) was significantly congested and swollen, the intestinal wall was significantly thickened, and several bleeding spots with millet size were observed on the surface of the caecum.
As can be seen from the paraffin sections of the cecal tissues, the villi structure of the cecal tissues of the PBS group is relatively complete (FIG. 18A), and no obvious histopathological change can be observed due to the regular arrangement. The cecum tissue structure was relatively intact in group a (fig. 18B) compared to the PBS group, with a small number of red blood cells observable in the interstitial space; group D (FIG. 18C) the villus structure of the cecum tissue was slightly fragmented, and the interstitial space was scattered with red blood cells; group W (FIG. 18D) significant lesions appeared in the villus structure of cecum tissue, sloughed villus debris appeared in the intestinal lumen, and a large number of red blood cells were observed in the interstitial spaces; the cecal tissue structure of the chickens attacked the control group (fig. 18E) was seriously damaged, the intestinal villi fell in the intestinal cavity, and the tissue congestion phenomenon was serious.
