Description

Thymus-dependent lymphocyte antigen epitope peptide of hepatitis B virus antigen and application thereof
The scheme is a division of cases with application number 2019112846358 and application date 2019.12.13 aiming at thymus-dependent lymphocyte antigen epitope peptide of hepatitis B virus antigen and application thereof.
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the fields of medical immunology and infectious diseases, and particularly relates to a thymus-dependent lymphocyte antigen epitope peptide of 189 hepatitis B virus antigens and application thereof.
Background
Hepatitis b virus (Hepatitis B virus, HBV) infection is one of the most common infectious diseases, severely endangering human health. Statistics of the world health organization, 2015, 7 months, show that 1/3 of the world population is expected to be infected with HBV, about 2.48 hundred million HBV carriers, and later may develop cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinoma. About 78 tens of thousands of HBV infected patients die annually due to disease progression to cirrhosis, liver failure or liver cancer. Epidemiological investigation shows that about 1.2 hundred million people are HBV carriers in China, accounting for half of the total chronic infections. In addition, china is a large country of liver cancer, and accounts for more than 55% of the global liver cancer population.
HBV genome consists of incomplete double-stranded circular DNA, long as negative strand and 3020 to 3320 bases, short as positive strand and 1700 to 2800 bases. Four Open Reading Frames (ORFs), designated C, X, P and S coding regions, respectively, are included. The C region is composed of Pre-C and C genes which are regulated by different initial codons and end at the same stop codon, the Pre-C and C genes jointly code Pre-C protein, and the Pre-C protein is cut to form e antigen (HBeAg). The C gene encodes the viral capsid protein, HBcAg. The S region consists of the S gene, preS1 and PreS2 genes, and is initiated by 3 different start codons, and the translation is terminated at the same stop codon, and the surface antigen (HBsAg) protein, preS1 protein and PreS2 protein are respectively encoded. The P region gene encodes the polymerase protein (HBpol) of HBV. The gene in region X encodes protein X (HBx), which contains 154 amino acids and is the smallest open reading frame.
Cytotoxic T cells (Cytotoxic T lymphocyte, CTL) are core cells mediating adaptive immune responses and play a vital role in the development of anti-infective, anti-neoplastic and hypersensitivity reactions and autoimmune diseases, and their T Cell Receptors (TCR) on their cell membranes are capable of specifically recognizing and binding to complexes of antigen presenting cell surface MHC class I molecules with antigen peptides, i.e. MHC/antigen peptide complex molecules. CTL epitopes refer to antigenic peptides bound to MHC class I molecules, which are linear fragments or spatially conformational structures of the antigenic molecules that can be specifically recognized by TCRs, are the basic antigenic units that elicit an immune response and play a critical role in CTL activation.
The MHC system refers to the major histocompatibility complex (major histocompatibility complex, MHC), a group of closely linked gene groups in the vertebrate genome that encode molecules that express MHC class I and class II proteins. HLA (human leukocyte antigen) is the MHC system of humans, the most complex gene group in humans, and is highly polymorphic in the human population. HLA plays an important role in the immune process of organisms such as antigen recognition, antigen presentation and the like, and is a main factor influencing the immune response of human bodies. HLA class I molecules are mainly responsible for the presentation of endogenous HBV antigens to CD8 + CTL, activated CTLs apoptosis virus-infected hepatocytes by secreting perforin and granzyme, etc., while secreting specific cytokines to inhibit HBV replication. Thus, HBV antigen-specific CD8 was monitored dynamically + The number and the function of the T cells can accurately reflect the specific immune function state of the hepatitis B infected person aiming at HBV. Due to different HLA molecular types of different peopleIts processing, handling and presentation capabilities for different HBV antigens are also different, thus eliciting different degrees of HBV antigen-specific immune response. According to different HLA molecular types of hepatitis B patients, HBV specific antigen peptide presented by the HBV specific antigen peptide is selected, and the specificity of the HBV antigen peptide is dynamically monitored + The number and the function of the T cells are of great significance to the disease process monitoring, diagnosis and treatment scheme formulation, curative effect observation, prognosis and prognosis, and the like of HBV infected persons, and are important technical means for realizing accurate medical treatment of hepatitis B. Meanwhile, polypeptide vaccines or gene vaccines can be prepared by utilizing HBV specific antigen peptides combined with the HLA-A molecules with high affinity, so that HBV infection can be prevented and treated.
However, currently, there are few clear HBV antigen peptides which are presented by various HLA molecules and can stimulate organisms to cause T cell response, so that the development of specific T cell detection on HBV patients carrying different HLA alleles is limited, the research on the action of HBV specific T cells in the development of HBV is also limited, and the personalized detection and accurate immunotherapy based on individual differences of HLA genes and the presented HBV antigen peptide differences are further limited.

1. online virtual prediction of dominant T cell epitope peptides of 13 HLA-A molecule restricted 4 HBV antigens
4 HBV proteins were selected: surface antigen (HBsAg), e antigen (HBeAg, including HBcAg sequence), DNA polymerase (HBpol) and X protein (HBx), and obtaining amino acid sequence by searching UniProt global protein resource database, and selecting HBV C type HBV protein sequence with most Chinese infection; performing virtual prediction on T cell epitope peptides which are limited by HLA-A0201, A1101, A2402, A3101, A0206, A0207, A3303, A3001, A0203, A1102, A0301, A0101 and A2601 molecules and aim at each HBV protein through six commonly used epitope peptide prediction databases such as SYFPEITHI, BIMAS, SVMHC, IEDB, NETMHC, EPIJEN, wherein the SVMHC database comprises two prediction algorithms of MHCPEP model and SYFEPITHI model; the IEDB database included three methods, ANN, SMM and ARB, and the experiment selected the ANN and SMM methods with better statistical significance. These epitope peptide predictive database websites are shown in table 1.
The antigen binding groove of HLA class I molecules is closed at both ends and the received antigenic peptide is 8-11 amino acid residues in length, with 9 and 10 amino acids being the most common, so that polypeptides 9 and 10 amino acids in length are selected as subjects for this experiment, respectively. The amino acid sequence of each HBV protein is respectively input into the corresponding amino acid sequence input frame of the forecast database website, the length of the epitope peptide is respectively selected to be 9 and 10 amino acids, then a specific HLA-A molecule is selected, and the T cell epitope peptide of HBV antigen is virtually forecast on line.

The predicted 9 peptide and 10 peptide of different databases are respectively arranged according to the scores from high to low for each HLA-A molecule and each HBV protein, and then the epitope peptide which at least meets the scoring standards of more than two prediction methods is selected as the candidate epitope peptide. For each HLA-A molecule, for each HBV protein, the highest scoring (highest affinity) 1-4 polypeptides are selected from the candidate epitope peptides as epitope peptides to be identified.

Taking fresh anticoagulated whole blood stored at room temperature, and properly diluting the fresh anticoagulated whole blood with sterile PBS; adding 1 times of human lymphocyte separation liquid (Daidae is biological and Shenzhen) into a 15mL centrifuge tube; slowly spreading diluted blood on the separating liquid, and centrifuging at room temperature for 20min at 2500rpm; sucking up mononuclear cell (PBMCs) layers, and centrifugally washing for 2 times; resuspension with serum-free medium (Daidae organism, shenzhen), cell count, and cell concentration adjustment to 2×10 6 prepare/mL for use.
3. Identification of immunogenicity of HBV antigen T cell epitope peptides by IFN-gamma ELISPOT method
The technical route is shown in fig. 14:
first, HBV chronically infected persons who have positive reaction to the mixed peptide group are screened: mixing each HLA-A molecule limited epitope peptide to be identified for 4 HBV proteins into a group of 8-9 epitope peptides each; ELISPOT plates (Daidae, shenzhen) pre-coated with anti-human IFN-gamma antibodies were activated with serum-free medium (200. Mu.L/well) for 8min, and PBMC suspension (100. Mu.L/well) was added to each well of HBV chronic infected patients; then, adding mixed peptide limited by each HLA-A molecule into a detection hole, wherein the single polypeptide in the mixed peptide is 30 mug/mL, adding PHA (2.5 mug/mL) into a positive control hole, and adding DMSO polypeptide solution with the same concentration as the detection hole into a negative control hole; placing at 37deg.C, 5% CO 2 Incubating the incubator for 20-22h; lysing and washing off cells according to the human IFN-. Gamma.ELISPOT kit instructions; biotin-labeled anti-human IFN-gamma antibody working solution (100. Mu.L/well) was added to each well and incubated at 37℃for 1h; after washing the plates, adding an enzyme-linked avidin working solution (100 mu L/well), and continuing to incubate at 37 ℃ for 1h; after washing the plate, adding the AEC color development liquid (100 mu L/well) which is prepared at present, and developing color for 20min at room temperature in a dark place; washing the plate with deionized water 4-5 times to terminate the color development; the ELISPOT plate is placed in a dark place, dried and then sent to Shenzhen daceae for automatically scanning and counting spots. If the number of the negative Kong Ban points is 0-5, judging that the CTL reaction is positive by the number of the spots of the detection hole and the negative control hole being equal to or larger than 5; if the number of the negative control well spots is not less than 5, the number of the detection well spots is not less than 2 times the number of the negative well spots, and the CTL reaction is judged to be positive.
Identifying immunogenicity of a single epitope peptide: peripheral blood PBMC of HBV chronically infected person with CTL positive reaction to the mixed peptide is collected again, added into the ELISPOT plate, and single HBV polypeptide (30 μg/mL) in the positive mixed peptide is added into each detection hole, and a positive control hole and a negative control hole are arranged at 37 ℃ and 5% CO are arranged 2 Incubators were incubated for 20-22h and ELISPOT assays were performed as above. A CTL reaction positive well indicates that the epitope peptide to be identified in the well is immunogenic.
Determination of HLA-A restriction: each HBV infected person is subjected to HLA-A allele typing, and the virtual affinity of the epitope peptide is combined, and the restriction and presentation of the HLA-A molecule is preliminarily determined. From HBV infected persons, homozygous infected persons of the 13 HLA-A alleles are selected, PBMC thereof are taken, and ELISPOT detection is performed again with all epitope peptides which have been verified to be immunogenic and are limited by the HLA-A molecules, so that the HLA-A molecular limitation of each epitope peptide is further determined.
4. HLA-A allele typing
Selecting HBV chronic infection patients with CTL positive reaction in epitope peptide identification experiment, taking 200 mu L of anticoagulation, and extracting genome DNA by using human whole blood genome DNA extraction kit (Tiangen organism, beijing); PCR was performed using HLA-A site-specific primers A1 and A3, and the DNA sequences of exon 2, intron 2, exon 3, and part of introns l and 3 at the A site were amplified to a size of 985bp. The amplification conditions were: pre-denaturation at 95℃for 3min; denaturation at 95℃for 15s; annealing at 62 ℃ for 15s; extending at 72 ℃ for 90s;35 cycles; extending at 72℃for 5min. The amplified products were sized by 1% agarose gel electrophoresis and sent to Shanghai Sanny Biotech for purification and two-way sequencing. PCR reagents were purchased from Nanjinouzan Biotech, inc., see Table 2.

Figure SMS_10
Sequencing results of exon 2 and exon 3 are spliced into a complete HLA-A overlapping sequence (Contig) by Seqman software of a Lasergene program, whether bases sequenced in two directions are complete and consistent is carefully checked, bases of heterozygotes are found and replaced by facultative bases, for example M represents A and C, R represents A and G, W represents A and T, S represents C and G, Y represents C and T, K represents G and T, and sequence fragments of amplified HLA-A alleles are finally determined. The spliced HLA-A base sequences were aligned with the exon 2 and exon 3 sequences of all HLA-A alleles in the database using the nucleotides BLAST tool until a perfectly matched gene combination was obtained, thereby determining the HLA-A alleles.
288 patients who had a CTL positive response to HBV mixed peptide were selected from 612 HBV chronically infected patients by IFN-. Gamma.ELISPOT method. PBMCs from these patients were then re-collected, validated for immunogenicity of individual epitope peptides using ELISPOT method, and then analyzed in combination with HLA-A alleles from the patients and the virtual predicted affinities of epitope peptides for these alleles. The results show that: PBMC from patients positive for HLA-A 02:01 were stimulated to exhibit CTL-positive responses by 26 HBV epitope peptides (P1-P26) (FIG. 1); PBMC from patients positive for HLA-A 11:01 were stimulated to exhibit CTL-positive responses by 23 HBV epitope peptides (P27-P49) (FIG. 2); PBMC from patients with HLA-A 24:02 positive were stimulated to exhibit CTL positive responses by 25 HBV epitope peptides (P50-P74) (FIG. 3); 17 HBV epitope peptides (P36, P54, P75-P89) stimulated CTL-positive response in PBMC of HLA-A 31:01 positive patients (FIG. 4); there are 15 HBV epitope peptides (P9, P24-P26, P54, P90-P99) that stimulate PBMCs of HLA-A 02:06 positive patients to exhibit CTL positive responses (fig. 5); there were 14 HBV epitope peptides (P20, P100-P112) that stimulated CTL positive response by PBMCs from HLA-A 02:07 positive patients (fig. 6); there are 16 HBV epitope peptides (P36, P42, P46, P48, P79, P86, P113-P122) that stimulate PBMCs of HLA-A 33:03 positive patients to exhibit CTL positive responses (fig. 7); there are 16 HBV epitope peptides (P9, P34, P123-P136) that stimulate CTL positive response in PBMCs of HLA-A 30:01 positive patients (fig. 8); PBMC from patients positive for HLA-A.02:03 were stimulated to exhibit CTL-positive responses by 11 HBV epitope peptides (P95, P137-P146) (FIG. 9); PBMC from patients positive for HLA-A 11:02 were stimulated to exhibit CTL-positive responses by 13 HBV epitope peptides (P86, P117, P127, P147-P156) (FIG. 10); there are 13 HBV epitope peptides (P78, P85, P115, P151, P153, P155, P157-P164) that stimulate PBMCs of HLA-A 03:01 positive patients to exhibit CTL positive responses (fig. 11); there are 16 HBV epitope peptides (P47, P50, P115, P158, P164-P175) that stimulate PBMCs of HLA-A 01:01 positive patients to exhibit CTL positive responses (fig. 12); there are 15 HBV epitope peptides (P31, P176-P189) that stimulate CTL positive response in PBMCs from HLA-A 26:01 positive patients (fig. 13).
