Description

Influenza A virus CD8+ T cell epitope peptide and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of immunotherapy, and particularly relates to an influenza A virus CD8+T cell epitope peptide and application thereof.
Background
Seasonal influenza and its complications caused by influenza a virus (influenza A virus, IAV, hereinafter referred to as influenza a virus) remain a major threat to human health. According to statistics of world health organization, the annual seasonal influenza infection rate of the world is up to 5-15%, about 3 hundred million to 10 hundred million people are infected with influenza, and up to 25-50 ten thousand people die from influenza, and the death rate is up to 0.1%. Although most areas have influenza outbreaks in winter, for warm climates, there may be influenza at any time of the year. Therefore, influenza is still an important disease seriously threatening human health, especially for children, old people, pregnant women and immunocompromised people, and the enhancement of the research related to influenza still has great scientific and social significance.
Because of the lack of effective antiviral drugs, the treatment of influenza and its complications is mainly symptomatic. Vaccination is a relatively effective prophylactic measure at present, mostly inducing the active production of protective antibodies by the body. However, since influenza a virus is a single-stranded antisense RNA virus, it is highly susceptible to mutation, resulting in antigen drift (antigenic drift) and antigen shift (antigenic shift), disabling neutralizing antibodies, and thus rendering the vaccine ineffective. Correspondingly, the cellular immune response recognizes highly conserved presentation antigens, thus exhibiting a high cross-protective capacity between different influenza a virus subtypes. For example, the cd8+ T cell immune response specific for Influenza A Virus (IAV) Matrix Protein 1 (M1) 58 to gilfveftl at position 66 (M158-66 GIL, abbreviated GIL) was found to occupy up to 80% of the anti-influenza a virus immune response. Therefore, the research on the cellular immune response of the anti-influenza A virus is expected to better understand the mechanism of antiviral immunity, and provides theoretical and experimental basis for developing broad-spectrum efficient anti-influenza A virus vaccine.
In view of the continuous occurrence of current influenza A virus variation, the method provides a trigger for developing universal influenza A virus vaccines and broad-spectrum therapeutic drugs in the future. The universal vaccine is a broad-spectrum vaccine which can effectively protect the immune crowd even after the virus antigen is mutated. Therefore, development of a general vaccine and a broad-spectrum therapeutic drug that can still provide effective immune protection for vaccine immunized people after various variants of influenza a virus occur is urgent.
Studies show that the T cell immune response plays an important role in the antiviral defense of organisms after virus infection and in the immune pathological injury process of organisms, in particular CD8+ T cells, the antigen specific immune activity of which still exists after 11 years, and the important role of the CD8+ T cell immune response in the immune defense against influenza A virus and the important role of the CD8+ T cell immune response in vaccine development are demonstrated. The first step in the cd8+ T cell immune response is the specific recognition of epitope peptides presented by the virus-infected cells by T cells through their surface antigen recognition receptors. Therefore, the epitope peptide is an important key molecule for specifically recognizing viruses and playing an immune protection role by T cells, and is a key targeting molecule for immunodetection, immunotherapy and vaccine development.
CD8+ T cells recognize pMHC activation through T Cell Receptor (TCR), kill virus infected cells, clear virus, thereby exerting antiviral cellular immunity. Therefore, the identification of the epitope peptide capable of effectively activating the T cells can still induce effective T cell immune protection after the influenza A virus antigen is mutated, and is one of the keys for developing universal influenza A virus vaccines and broad-spectrum therapeutic medicaments.
Immune escape is the antagonism, blocking and suppression of the immune response of the body by immunosuppressive pathogens through their structural and non-structural products. Influenza a viruses, because of frequent and persistent mutations, produce a large number of variants, which severely threatens the immune barrier effect of the vaccine.

Detailed Description
T2-A2 cells are an antigen presenting cell line expressing human MHC class I molecule HLa-A2 by recombinant genetic engineering techniques. Only effective epitope peptides can be presented, so that a stable pMHC complex is formed on the cell surface, and therefore, the antigen peptide can be used as artificial antigen presenting cells for stimulating T cells.
T cell epitope peptides alone cannot work and must be activated in the manner of pMHC complexes or antigen peptide-antigen presenting cell complexes. The invention utilizes MHC monomer and identified influenza A virus T cell epitope to carry out joint renaturation, thus preparing the pMHC complex. The identified antigen epitope peptide of the influenza A virus T cell is loaded on the surface of an antigen presenting cell (T2-A2 cell) to prepare an antigen peptide-antigen presenting cell complex, and then the prepared pMHC complex is used for labeling CD8+ T cells, so that the antigen epitope peptide can effectively activate T cells in peripheral blood of healthy people, has strong immunogenicity and can also effectively kill target cells carrying influenza A virus antigens. The pMHC complex with PE fluorescent channel assembled by the T cell epitope peptide can be detected in influenza A virus vaccinators and rehabilitators. The newly discovered antigen epitope peptide of the influenza A virus CD8+T cell can effectively induce T cell immunity, avoid immune escape of virus mutation, and can be used as a general vaccine or applied to immunotherapy and the like.
The invention will be further described in detail with reference to the drawings and specific examples, which are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The test methods used in the following examples are conventional methods unless otherwise specified; the materials, reagents and the like used, unless otherwise specified, are those commercially available.
Example 1 prediction of influenza A Virus HLA-A2 restriction epitope peptide
HLA-A2 restriction epitope prediction was performed using MHC class I molecular prediction tools (http:// tools. IEDB. Org/mhci /) provided by the United states NIH epitope database (IEDB). The volunteers recruited were vaccinated with influenza a split vaccines using epidemic strains or similar strains (northern hemisphere) of influenza a type 1, A3 and B (2021/2022) recommended by WHO and the european union. The main components of the vaccine are antigens (an A/Victoria/2570/2019 (H1N 1) pdm09; an A/Cambodia/e0826360/2020 (H3N 2) containing the following strains (2021/2022); a B/Washington/02/2019 (B/Victoria line) -like viruses). The most common H1N1 and H3N2 are selected to find the corresponding sequence numbers (EPI_ISL_417210; EPI_ISL_806547) in the Gisaid database for predicting the epitope protein. Finally obtaining 11 candidate CD8 of the influenza A virus specificity HLA-A2+ + T cell epitope peptides are shown in Table 1.

After 3 washes with wash buffer, 100 μl of diluted HRP-binding antibody (BioLegend, cat#280303, us) was added and incubation was continued for 1 hour at 37 ℃ before washing. 100 μl of substrate solution (10.34 mL deionized water, 1.2mL 0.1m citric acid monohydrate/trisodium citrate dihydrate, pH 4.0, 240 μl 40mm abts,120 μl hydrogen peroxide solution) was added and incubated at room temperature in the dark for 8min. The reaction was quenched with 50. Mu.L of a termination solution (2% w/v oxalic acid dihydrate). Absorbance (OD value) was measured at a wavelength of 450nm with a microplate reader over 30 minutes.
The results are shown in FIG. 1C, which shows that all 11 antigen polypeptides can form pMHC complexes.
EXAMPLE 4 preparation of epitope peptide pMHC Complex monomer
The nucleotide sequences of HLA-A2 alpha chain and beta 2M are respectively constructed on a pET28a expression vector, transferred into escherichia coli BL21 (DE 3) for protein expression, nickel column (Biorad, cat#7324610, US) is used for purifying HLA-A2 protein (HLA-A 2 heavy chain a chain, HLA-A2 light chain beta 2M), the purified proteins HLA-A2 alpha chain protein, beta 2M protein and 11 epitope peptides in the table 1 in the example 1 are gradually dripped into 40mL of renaturation solution (5M urea, 0.4M arginine, 100mM Tris, 3.7mM cystamine, 6.3mM cysteamine and 2mM EDTA) according to the molar ratio of 1:2:10 respectively for renaturation, and the pMHC complex monomer of the epitope peptide is obtained.
The pMHC complex monomer was further purified by passing through DEAE ion exchange column, eluting with 0.5M NaCl, and collecting proteins according to the OD280nm uv absorbance peak. The proteins purified by DEAE ion exchange column were then purified by Superdex 75pg molecular sieve, eluted with PBS, and the different molecular weight proteins were collected according to the OD280nm UV absorbance peak. FIGS. 2A and 2B show that the antigen epitope peptide pMHC complex trimer (trimer of HLA-A2 heavy chain a chain+HLA-A 2 light chain β2m+antigen peptide) was obtained after purification.
Example 5 activation of T cells by influenza A Virus HLA-A2 restriction epitope peptide
T2 cells activate T cells by expressing HLa-A2 molecules (T2-A2, PMID:34414379; PMID:35194575; PMID:35116022; PMID: 37117789). Mononuclear lymphocytes (PBMCs) in peripheral venous blood of healthy volunteers were isolated and cd8+ T cells were further isolated. T2-A2 cells were labeled with CFSE and incubated with 11 different antigenic peptides from example 1 after 20 min treatment with 20. Mu.g/mL mitomycin.
The specific method comprises the following steps:
0.5X10 each well of a 96-well plate was seeded 6 0.5X10 of each CD8+ T cell was loaded with 11 epitope peptides of Table 1 6 T2-A2 cells were co-cultured (11 wells total) and co-stimulated with 1. Mu.g/mL anti-human CD28 antibody and 50IU/mL IL-2. 50IU/mL IL-2 and 20 mu M epitope peptide were supplemented every two days.
CD8+ T cells in peripheral venous blood of healthy volunteers were isolated and co-cultured with antigen polypeptide-loaded T2 cells, co-stimulated with 1. Mu.g/mL of anti-human CD28 antibody and 50IU/mL of IL-2, and the expression of T cell activating molecules CD69 and CD137 was detected after 16 hours of culture.
The pMHC complex monomer of 30 μl of the epitope peptide obtained in example 4 was mixed with 3.3 μl of PE streptavidin (BioLegend cat#405203, US) in a 96-well plate, and after incubation at 4 ℃ for 30 minutes in the dark, 2.4 μl of blocking solution (1.6 μl of 50mM biotin (Thermo Fisher, cat#b20656, US)) and 198.4 μl of PBS were added to stop the reaction, and incubated overnight at 4-8 ℃ to obtain pMHC complex with PE fluorescence channel.
After 7 days of culture, the percentage of survival of T2-A2, the proportion of specific CD8+ T cells labeled with pMHC complex with PE fluorescent channels and the percentage of apoptosis marker Annexin V-APC on T2-A2 cells were calculated and the release of IFN-gamma and GZMB from specific CD8+ T cells was examined. Percentage of IAV-mediated T2 apoptosis after 7 days in culture with cd8+ T cells: CFSE labeled T2A2 as target cells, the number of residual target cells was detected and calculated as 50% of T2 cells minus the percentage of surviving cells.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the 11 influenza A virus T cell epitope peptides selected in example 2 were all capable of activating T cells. Wherein, the T cell epitope peptide KADTKILFI corresponding to the T cell epitope peptide STICFFMQI, F corresponding to the T cell epitope peptide MQIAILITT, F corresponding to the F3 and the T cell epitope peptide IVLEANFSV corresponding to the F11 have strong ability to activate cd8+ T cells, as shown in fig. 4A and 4B. Meanwhile, the specific CD8+T activated by the 11 peptides can kill target cells, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B; specific cd8+ T cells released IFN- γ and GZMB as shown in fig. 6A and 6B.
Example 6 activation of T cells by influenza A Virus HLA-A2 restriction epitope peptide
PBMCs in peripheral venous blood of volunteers 14 days after the second needle of the influenza a virus-vaccinated inactivated vaccine and 7 days after the influenza a virus-infected healed were isolated and HLA subtypes thereof were identified, and HLA-a2 positive PBMCs samples were further stained with pMHC complex with PE fluorescent channel and CD8-APC antibody in example 5, and then subjected to on-stream detection.
The results are shown in fig. 7, which shows that pMHC complexes with fluorescent channels of F3, F6, F10 and F114 epitope peptides can recognize antigen-specific cd8+ T cells generated in influenza a virus vaccinators (fig. 7A and 7B) and influenza a virus infection healers (fig. 7C and 7D).
