Description

Cargo molecule transduction domain RMAD1, variants thereof, recombinant cargo molecules and cargo molecule transduction methods utilizing the same
Technical Field
The present invention relates to cargo molecule transduction domains RMAD1 derived from human ADARB2, variants thereof, gene constructs, vectors, recombinant cargo molecules encrypting thereof, and cargo molecule transduction methods utilizing the same, providing cargo molecule transduction domains comprising RMAD1 derived from human ADARB2 or variants thereof, and methods of intracellular transport of cargo molecules comprising the step of contacting a recombinant cargo molecule fused to the cargo molecule transduction domains and cargo molecules with cells.
Background
The protein transport technology is called a protein transduction domain (Protein Transduction Domain; PTD) or cell-penetrating peptide (Cell penetrating Peptide; CPP), and is a novel transport system capable of easily transporting a peptide consisting of approximately 5 to 30 amino acids to a living body such as mammalian cells, tissues, blood, etc., after fusing the peptide with a polymer such as a protein or a gene.
Although specific mechanisms have not been clarified, protein transport techniques are often used for transporting therapeutic proteins in vitro and in vivo, and into cells or tissues, and various protein transduction domains are known. In addition to covalent bonds, binding between the protein transduction domain and a biological cargo molecule (e.g., nucleic acid, protein, peptide, small molecule, cytotoxic drug, etc.) can be accomplished by various methods such as ionic bonding, electrostatic bonding, etc.
The protein transduction domain has advantages of low toxicity and less rejection compared to other transporters such as liposomes or polymers. However, there are few protein transduction domains used clinically and the like.
Double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase B2 (RNA-editing deaminase-2; abbreviated as "RED2" or "ADARB 2") is an enzyme that is encrypted in humans by the ADARB2 gene. The enzyme has insufficient editing activity, prevents other ADAR enzymes from combining with the targeting in the test tube, and reduces the effectiveness of the enzyme. ADARB2 proteins bind not only to dsRNA, but also to ssRNA. ADARB2 is a member of the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) adenosine deaminase family of RNA editing enzymes. Adenosine deamination of Pre-mRNA results in changes in the amino acid sequence of the gene product, unlike what is predicted by genomic DNA sequence.
However, it has not been reported so far that a part of the sequence of ADARB2 protein is likely to be useful as a cargo molecule transduction domain.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a cargo molecule transduction domain which allows a cargo molecule to permeate into a cell or tissue with high efficiency and which has no or little side effects when used in a human body, a recombinant cargo molecule fused to the cargo molecule transduction domain, and a method for allowing a cargo molecule to permeate into a cell or tissue using the cargo molecule transduction domain.
In order to solve the above problems, as a result of selecting a plurality of candidate peptides derived from human beings, the present inventors have confirmed that a peptide consisting of 15 amino acids derived from CKSKRRRRRRSKRKD of human ADARB2 protein (hereinafter, referred to as "RMAD1" in the present invention) or a peptide in which some amino acids are deleted, substituted and/or added can smoothly permeate a polymer such as a protein, a nucleic acid and the like into a living body such as a cell, a tissue and blood, and that the RMAD1 or a variant peptide thereof is significantly superior to HIV-Tat peptide in terms of cell and tissue permeation ability.
The present inventors have examined the self-permeation efficacy by using the cell-penetrating peptide RMAD1 derived from the human ADARB2 protein, and as a result, they have confirmed that the RMAD1 peptide is very permeable to cells than the HIV-Tat peptide by performing FACS experiments on the synthetic FITC.
In addition, the present inventors have made experiments to evaluate whether or not the RMAD1 peptide is bound to a cargo molecule, so that it is easy to permeate into cells and transport the cargo molecule into cells, and to attach EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein; enhanced Green Fluorescence Protein) protein as a cargo molecule for the experiment. The EGFP-RMAD1 fusion protein is proved to have excellent capability of transporting cargo molecules into cells compared with HIV-Tat peptide by using various verification methods such as immunoblotting, FACS and confocal microscopy by preparing and purifying the fusion protein carrier of EGFP and RMAD 1.
Effects of the invention
The cargo molecule transduction domain newly discovered by the present invention is excellent in cell penetration ability, is effectively used as a cargo molecule transduction substance, and is a substance derived from the human body, and thus is safe without risk of eliciting an immune response when administered to the human body.
In addition, the cargo molecule transduction domain of the present invention is remarkably superior to other cargo molecule transduction domains in cell permeation ability, and thus, various substances such as protein drugs, epitopes, etc., which are difficult to permeate cells, can be smoothly permeated, and thus, the cargo molecule transduction domain can be applied to drugs, cosmetics, etc.

Results 1: RMAD1 peptide secondary structure prediction graph
To predict the peptide structure of RMAD1, the PET-FOLD3 de novo peptide structure prediction (De novo peptide structure prediction) program was used. For the model in which the amino acid sequence of RMAD1 was recorded and predicted by the program, the two-dimensional predicted structure was imaged using the pymol2.4 program (a of fig. 1).

The cell permeation efficiency of RMAD1 and the fluorescent protein FITC bound to its variants was confirmed using synthetic peptides attached with FITC having fluorescent properties, and using cell lines 3T3, B16F10 and HACAT. Since it is difficult to confirm the permeability of the peptide by cells to which FITC is not attached, the cell permeability is confirmed by attaching FITC that exhibits fluorescence. Each cell line was treated with RMAD-FITC, TAT-FITC peptide as FITC-conjugated peptide at the same concentration of 2.5uM for 2 hours. As a result, RMAD-FITC synthetic peptide showed significantly higher cell penetration level (A, B of fig. 2) than TAT-FITC peptide as a control group among 2 cell lines, confirming that HACAT cells maintained excellent penetration efficacy as compared with TAT even by amino acid substitution, removal and addition (C of fig. 2).
Results 3: pattern diagram and purification of EGFP-RMAD1 fusion proteins
To make a fusion protein comprising a cell penetrating peptide from a human source and EGFP, the sequence encoding the RMAD1 polypeptide (tgc aag tcc aag agg agg agg agg cgg agg tcc aag cgg aaa gat; SEQ ID NO: 12) was cloned into the HindIII and XhoI sites of the pET-28a plasmid, the RMAD1 encoding DNA and EGFP cDNA were recombined, the BamHI and HindIII sites were cleaved, and EGFP-RMAD1 was cloned into the pET-28a plasmid (FIG. 3 a).

For the eluted fusion protein product, a total of 10ug of protein was loaded by SDS-PAGE, and then the molecular weight of the fusion protein purified by coomassie blue (coomassie blue) staining reagent was confirmed (FIG. 3 b). In addition, in order to confirm the expression of EGFP-RMAD1 protein including his-tag by the stained fusion protein, immunoblotting was performed, and it was confirmed by his-antibody that the molecular weight of the fusion protein including his-tag was consistent with the coomassie blue (coomassie blue) staining result (FIG. 3b, FIG. 3 c).
Results 4: introduction of RMAD1 fusion proteins into HaCaT cells
To confirm the cell permeation efficiency of the RMAD1 fusion protein, the efficiency was confirmed by introducing the fusion protein into HaCaT, a cell line of human skin cells. EGFP, EGFP-TAT, EGFP-RMAD1 as recombinant proteins were treated with 1uM at the same concentration for 2 hours on HaCaT cells. As a result, it was confirmed that the EGFP-RMAD1 fusion protein exhibited a significantly high level of cell permeation, and secondly, the EGFP-TAT fusion protein including TAT known as a cell penetrating peptide exhibited a cell permeation rate lower by about 60% than that of EGFP-RMAD 1. In addition, it was confirmed that EGFP protein itself was not permeable to cells (FIG. 3 d).
For cellular efficacy of the RMAD1 fusion protein, intracellular fluorescence was measured using a flow cytometer in order to confirm analysis-based, concentration-based, and time-based efficiencies by other experimental methods. Specifically, in order to analyze the concentration-based introduction efficiency, 4 concentrations of fusion proteins were treated at a 5-fold ratio from 0.1uM to 2.5uM concentration for 2 hours. As a result, it was confirmed that the RMAD1 fusion protein was transported into HaCaT cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and that the cell permeability was significantly higher than that of TAT fusion proteins, as in the immunoblotting results above (fig. 4a, 4b, 4 c). In addition, in order to analyze the introduction efficiency based on the treatment time, the fusion protein at a concentration of 2.5uM was cultured for 30 minutes to 4 hours, thereby performing FACS analysis. As a result, it was confirmed that the RMAD1 fusion protein was transported into HaCaT cells in a time-dependent manner, and that the amount of the protein that was continuously infiltrated for 2 hours was increased. In addition, it was confirmed again that the protein was transported more efficiently than TAT, which is a well-known cell permeable domain (fig. 4 d).
In order to confirm whether the EGFP-RMAD1 fusion protein was actually introduced into cells by confirming the position of the EGFP-RMAD1 fusion protein introduced into cells and to confirm the cell permeation efficacy again, the EGFP-RMAD1 fusion protein was treated with HaCaT cells and then observed by using a fluorescence microscope and a confocal microscope. As a result, it was confirmed that no fluorescent signal was observed in the EGFP protein as a control group, but the fluorescent signal was mainly detected in the cytoplasm as a result of observation by confocal microscopy in EGFP-TAT and EGFP-RMAD1 (fig. 5 a). In addition, a significantly higher fluorescent signal was observed in EGFP-RMAD1 than in EGFP-TAT fusion proteins, consistent with the immunoblotting and FACS results above. The same results were obtained also in fluorescence microscopy, and in most of the introduced EGFP-RMAD1, it was observed that the introduced fusion protein was located in the cytoplasm, as evidenced by the fact that most of the lysosomal tracer (lysotracker) and mitochondrial fluorescent probe (mitotracker) were not located at the same positions as those of the lysosome or mitochondrial positions (FIG. 5 b).
Results 5: pattern diagram and purification of SOD1-RMAD1 fusion proteins
To prepare a fusion protein comprising a cell penetrating peptide from human origin and SOD1, the sequence encoding the RMAD1 polypeptide (tgc aag tcc aag agg agg agg agg cgg agg tcc aag cgg aaa gat; SEQ ID NO: 12) was cloned into the HindIII and Xho I sites of the pET-29a plasmid, the recombinant RMAD1 encoding DNA and SOD1 cDNA, the Nde I and HindIII sites were cleaved, and SOD1-RMAD1 was cloned into the pET-29a plasmid (FIG. 6 a). SOD1 as a control group was also cloned on pET-29a plasmid as a vector by the method described above, and in the case of a fusion protein comprising his-tag, after binding to Ni-NTA column, washed with a low concentration of 15mM imidazole solution, and eluted with 300mM imidazole solution. For the eluted fusion protein product, a total of 10ug of protein was loaded by SDS-PAGE, and then the molecular weight of the fusion protein purified by coomassie blue (coomassie blue) staining reagent was confirmed (FIG. 6 b).

Cell penetration performance and whether activity was maintained was evaluated using RAW264.7 cells by fusion with cell penetrating peptide using SOD1 known as antioxidant enzyme. As a result of treating RAW264.7 cells with 0.5uM at the same concentration for 2 hours, it was confirmed that the SOD1-RMAD1 fusion protein showed a significantly high level of cell permeation. It was confirmed that the SOD1-TAT fusion protein including TAT, which is a conventionally known cell penetrating peptide, showed a lower level of cell permeability than that of SOD1-RMAD1, and that SOD1 itself was not permeable to cells (FIG. 6 c).
To confirm whether the fusion protein introduced into the cells was indeed active in the cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects were evaluated. To evaluate antioxidant efficacy, reactive oxygen species (Reactive Oxygen Species; ROS) removal capability was confirmed. Specifically, after SOD1-RMAD1 fusion protein was treated with RAW264.7 cells at 0.5, 1, 2.5uM concentrations for 2 hours, LPS induced reactive oxygen species was treated for 16 hours. Then, as a result of evaluating the amount of reactive oxygen species by FACS analysis using CM-H2DCFDA, it was confirmed that the SOD1-RMAD1 fusion protein effectively inhibited the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (FIG. 6 d). In addition, in order to evaluate the anti-inflammatory efficacy, as in the above anti-oxidative efficacy experiment, the fusion protein and LPS were treated, and then by detecting TNF- α as an inflammatory factor in a medium, it was confirmed that the fusion protein effectively improved the anti-inflammatory efficacy compared to SOD1 (fig. 6 e).

It is predicted that antigen-specific T cells are efficiently produced by rapidly increasing intracellular permeability to prevent peptide antigen decomposition in organisms and recognizing antigens in innate immune cells, thereforRMAD-1 and peptide antigens were fused to confirm anticancer vaccine efficacy. Antigen-specific T cells were evaluated using TC-1 cells overexpressing E7 derived from HPV-16/18 and E7 peptide conjugated to RMAD1, and further using MPLA (Monophosphoryl lipid A), which is known as an immune adjuvant and a TLR4 agent, a decrease in tumor size was confirmed. As a result, it was confirmed that E7AD has a higher anticancer ability than E7, and that the tumor size was significantly reduced as compared with E7+ MPLA in the E7AD + MPLA group to which MPLA was added (fig. 7a and 7 b). In addition, as a result of analyzing immune cells in spleen, it was confirmed that antigen-specific CD8 was found in the E7AD and E7AD+MPLA groups including RMAD1 + An increase in the number of T cells confirmed CD8 by confirming an increase in IFN-gamma expression + T cells were activated (fig. 7c, fig. 7 d). Finally, as a result of analysis using immunocytes of blood in comparison with E7-TAT, which is a conventional cell-penetrating peptide, it was confirmed that antigen-specific CD8 was effectively increased in the group containing RMAD1 + T cells (fig. 7 e).
