Description

Neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine and application
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of synthetic biology, and particularly relates to a neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine and application thereof.
Background
Meningococcal escherichia coli (Neonetal meningitis Escherichia coli, NMEC) is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria responsible for neonatal bacterial meningitis, with a higher mortality rate. NMEC is capable of mutating, acquiring and transmitting plasmids and other mobile genetic elements encoding resistance genes, which enable it to develop resistance to almost all common antibacterial drugs. In recent years, NMEC has increased year by year resistance to the traditional drug compound Sulfamethoxazole (SXT) for the treatment of simple urinary tract infections, and many clinical NMEC isolates have also obtained genes encoding the ultra-broad spectrum lactamase (ESBL) which confer multiple resistance to the ultra-broad spectrum cephalosporins, aztreonam, aminoglycosides and tetracyclines. In premature infants, the incidence of early-onset neonatal sepsis caused by multi-drug resistant NMEC is on the rise. In addition, the development difficulty of novel antibiotics aiming at NMEC is greater and more serious, and the development speed is slower, so that the treatment of the antibiotics of NMEC is more difficult, and the development of novel NMEC treatment schemes becomes a problem to be solved urgently.
An effective NMEC vaccine can prevent infection and reduce the prevalence of multi-resistant NMEC strains. The bacterial surface polysaccharide (O antigen and K antigen) can be used as protective antigen of bacteria, and can stimulate mature B lymphocyte after immunization, and excite immune system to generate antibody to protect organism from subsequent invasion of homologous bacteria. Polysaccharide conjugate vaccines designed from these surface polysaccharides primarily induce immune responses without T cell involvement, yielding low affinity antibody IgM + And cannot form effective immunological memory, and cannot play an immune role in infants under 2 years old. The bacterial surface polysaccharide can be covalently coupled with carrier protein to form polysaccharide protein combined vaccine, and the vaccine can be used as T cell dependent antigen to induce high affinity immunityThe reaction is carried out, so that the proliferation and differentiation of B cells into plasma cells and memory B cells are induced, high-affinity antibody IgG+ is generated, and lasting immune memory is formed, thereby realizing the immune function on infants, and simultaneously providing long-time continuous immune response for adults.
Glycoprotein vaccines make up for the deficiencies of polysaccharide vaccines and are among the safest and most effective vaccines since the history. In recent years, in vivo bioconjugate techniques using protoribosylation systems have made significant advances in glycoconjugation techniques. In vivo bioconjugate technology refers to the biosynthesis of polysaccharides and carrier proteins in engineered bacterial cells and their subsequent in vivo conjugation by use of oligosaccharyl transferases. Compared with the traditional chemical coupling method, the biological coupling technology provides a more efficient and cost-saving strategy for developing and producing the sugar-coupled vaccine.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to a neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine, which comprises one or more immunoconjugates, wherein the immunoconjugates are formed by coupling neonatal meningitis escherichia coli surface polysaccharide and carrier protein. Wherein, the surface polysaccharide of the serovars neonatal meningitis escherichia coli is O1, O5, O6, O7, O18 or O45; the carrier protein is a haemophilus surface protein HiD, a Streptococcus pneumoniae PspA protein, a diphtheria toxin carrier protein CRM197 or a cholera toxin B subunit CTB, preferably a cholera toxin B subunit CTB.
The immune composition containing multivalent neonatal meningitis escherichia coli conjugate is formed by coupling, separating and purifying surface polysaccharides of multiple serotypes neonatal meningitis escherichia coli with proteins, and mixing, wherein different polysaccharides can be coupled with the same proteins to form glycoproteins and then mixing, or different polysaccharides can be coupled with different proteins to form glycoproteins and then mixing. Respectively preparing plasmid systems containing NMEC different serotypes O antigen synthesis gene clusters and glycosylated plasmid systems capable of expressing and obtaining carrier proteins, transferring the plasmid systems and the glycosylated plasmid systems into engineering bacteria prepared by the same host bacteria, and preparing the synthesized lipopolysaccharide which can be used for preparing neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine.
Serotypes of E.coli with neonatal meningitis include O1, O5, O6, O7, O18, O45, the gene cluster being of specific origin GenBank accession No. GU299791, AB811596, AB811597, AF125322, AB811603, AY771223. An immune composition may be prepared that also includes a multivalent neonatal meningitis escherichia coli conjugate. Plasmids containing NMEC different serotypes of O antigen synthesis gene cluster refer to cloning the galF-wzz region of E.coli O1, O5, O6, O7, O18, O45 into the yeast E.coli shuttle vector pCRG 16. In E.coli, almost all genes responsible for the synthesis of O-polysaccharide are located in the gene cluster between galF and gnd, while wzz responsible for the regulation of O antigen chain length is located downstream of gnd. The recombinant vector can be stably replicated and expressed in escherichia coli and saccharomyces cerevisiae, and contains genes for synthesizing the O antigen repeating units, and polymerase and invertase for polymerizing the repeating units.
In certain embodiments of the invention, the carrier protein coupled to the neonatal meningitis E.coli surface polysaccharide may be the Haemophilus influenzae surface protein HiD, the Streptococcus pneumoniae PspA protein, the diphtheria toxin carrier protein CRM197, or the cholera toxin B subunit CTB. The glycosylation plasmid system is based on pCDFDuet-1 plasmid, the original T7 promoter and terminator in pCDFDuet-1 plasmid are replaced by two pairs of synthesized P15 promoter and BBa_B1004 terminator, and then the O-glycosyltransferase coding gene and the gene capable of synthesizing expression carrier protein are integrated under the control of the pair of P15 promoter and BBa_B1004 terminator, so that the glycosylation plasmid system can be obtained. By modifying and replacing the T7 promoter in the original plasmid, the phenomenon that expression cannot be identified in the escherichia coli is avoided, the replaced P15 promoter and BBa_B1004 terminator can stably express under a non-induction condition, meanwhile, the use of IPTG is avoided, and the production cost is greatly reduced. In certain embodiments of the invention, the plasmid pCDF-pglL-HiD/PspA/CRM197/CTB may be prepared.
Wherein the O-glycosyltransferase may be an O-glycosyltransferase-encoding gene derived from Neisseria meningitidis, acinetobacter bailii, neisseria gonorrhoeae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, neisseria lactose or Neisseria polysaccharea, and which has been codon-optimized by E.coli. The acquisition numbers of the genes encoding oligosaccharyl transferase and the synthesized carrier protein are respectively as follows: neisseria meningitidis (GenBank accession No.: JN 200826.1), acinetobacter besseyi (GenBank accession No.: WP 004923783.1), neisseria gonorrhoeae (GenBank accession No.: UWT 15409.1), pseudomonas aeruginosa (GenBank accession No.: wp_ 058150674.1), neisseria lactose (GenBank accession No.: CP 031253.1), neisseria polysaccharose (GenBank accession No.: CP 031325.1); haemophilus influenzae surface protein HiD (GenBank accession No.: ACV 30033.1), streptococcus pneumoniae PspA protein (GenBank accession No.: M74122.1), diphtheria toxin carrier protein CRM197 (GenBank accession No.: AMV 91693.1) or cholera toxin B subunit CTB (GenBank accession No.: M23050.1). Among them, O-glycosyltransferase preferably uses pglL from Neisseria meningitidis (Campylobacter jejuni) and codon optimized by E.coli.
The preparation method of the neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine constructs a recombinant engineering bacterium containing a surface polysaccharide plasmid capable of being expressed to obtain the neonatal meningitis escherichia coli and a carrier protein plasmid capable of being expressed to obtain the carrier protein plasmid, generates an immunoconjugate of the coupling of the neonatal meningitis escherichia coli surface polysaccharide and the carrier protein after culture, and can be used for preparing vaccine stock solution after extraction and purification. One or more plasmids containing NMEC different serotypes O antigen synthesis gene clusters and one or more glycosylation plasmids are transferred into the same host cell, and expressed glycoprotein is the main component of glycoprotein vaccine. Purifying and mixing one or more expressed glycoproteins to prepare the neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine stock solution.
In certain embodiments of the invention, to avoid competitive formation of LPS, waaL encoding an O-polysaccharide ligase enzyme capable of transferring lipid-linked polysaccharide to lipid A of LPS was deleted in these recombinant strains. Meanwhile, zwf and pfkB are deleted, so that the most key intermediate metabolites of the synthesized sugar precursor, namely glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate, can flow to NDP-sugar to the greatest extent, and an important synthetic substrate is provided for synthesizing O antigen. Knocking out ushA avoids hydrolysis of synthetic NDP-sugar into 1-phosphate sugar and NMP, and reduces decomposition thereof. Blocking wecG, wecC can prevent the generated UDP-ManNAc from synthesizing UDP-ManNAca and entering the ECA synthesis path, thereby improving accumulation of UDP-ManNAc. Knockout of glgC can accumulate more of the intermediary metabolite glucose 1-phosphate, preventing its breakdown to form ADP-glucose. Deletion of wcaJ, wcaA-I blocks UDP-glucose, GDP-fucose, UDP-galactose, UDP-GlcA from entering the clara acid synthesis pathway to reduce the competing pathway flux of nucleoside sugar precursor synthesis. The above knock-out of these genes ultimately allows for the maximal synthesis of strain O antigen, and thus the highest yield of glycoprotein.

1.5 the recombinant bacterium deleted of one gene obtained in the step 1.4 is used as a host bacterium, and the steps 1.2 are repeated in sequence,
1.3, 1.4, and finally obtaining the recombinant bacteria deleted from zwf, pfkB, glgC, wecG, wecC, ushA, wcaJ, wcaA-I and waaL.

Nankai. Edu. Cn/index. Html), and amplifying the whole O antigen synthesis gene clusters into 5 parts, wherein each part is about 5K; the first fragment contains 40mer bases of homologous sequence at the NotI cleavage site of pCRG16 linear cloning vector at 5', the second fragment contains about 100-200mer of homologous sequence at the 3' of the first fragment, and so on until the 3' of the last fragment contains 40mer bases of homologous sequence at the NotI cleavage site of pCRG16 linear cloning vector;
3.4 recombinant construction of O antigen expression plasmid by Saccharomyces cerevisiae in vivo;
co-electrotransformation of the pCRG16 linear cloning vector prepared in the step 3.2 of the fragment obtained by the amplification in the step 3.3 to CRY1-2 saccharomyces cerevisiae, resuscitating in 1ml SD uracil deficiency liquid culture medium, taking 100 mu L of resuscitated culture medium, coating on SD uracil deficiency flat plates, culturing for 48-72 hours at 30 ℃, randomly picking up 3-5 single colonies, extracting yeast plasmids by using a yeast plasmid extraction kit, identifying plasmids by a PCR method, and judging whether recombination is successful or not by size; the plasmid structure is shown in FIG. 1, recombinant plasmid extracted from yeast is transformed into NEB-10β, and plasmid in NEB-10β is extracted and sequenced.

The glycoprotein conjugate vaccine can stimulate the immune system of the organism to generate T cell dependent immune response, greatly improves the immunogenicity of polysaccharide and has strong specificity. In the whole immunization process, glycoprotein is not required to be widely crosslinked with antibody like polysaccharide, so that shorter sugar chains can still generate effective immune reaction, and glycoprotein vaccine prepared by coupling polysaccharide and protein has better effect than simple glycoprotein vaccine. Binding of bacterial surface polysaccharides to carrier proteins can elicit T cell-dependent immune responses that elicit high affinity and long lasting memory antibody responses. Glycoprotein conjugate vaccines have very remarkable effects on disease prevention during clinical use.
The prepared neonatal meningitis escherichia coli glycoprotein conjugate vaccine can be used for NMEC infection, and particularly has outstanding performance when the covalent products of bacterial surface polysaccharide O6/O18/O45 and PspA and the covalent products of bacterial surface polysaccharide O1/O5/O6/O7/O18/O45 and PspA are purified and mixed to form the hexavalent vaccine. Animal immunization proves that the protective antibody can be stimulated to generate protective antibodies by the mice, the mice are induced to generate specific antibodies, the mice are protected from NMEC infection, the protection rate reaches 90-100%, and the occurrence and the development of meningitis can be prevented; compared to glycoprotein vaccines, glycoprotein vaccines are able to produce long lasting antibodies in the mother, and can also deliver antibodies to neonates via maternal and infant delivery, and specific antibodies passively transferred from vaccinated mice have been shown to be effective in protecting neonate mice against pathogens in the first month after birth, and can deliver antibodies to neonates via maternal and infant delivery, protecting them from infection.
