〔发明的描述〕
本发明的目的在于提供一种新的细胞生长刺激因子,该因子来源 于再生障碍性患者的血清和尿,具有促进造血干细胞向巨核细胞分化 生长、调节巨核细胞生长、分化和成熟的活性。 经小鼠体内外试验和人 体骨髓体外培养分析,该因子促进造血干细胞向巨核细胞分化、巨核细 胞集落形成,增大巨核细胞体积,刺激血小板的生成;该因子还促进多 能干细胞的增殖.,可用于治疗各种血小板减少症和全血细胞减少症。按 其生物学特征,取名为人促巨核细胞生成素(Megakaryopoietin, 以下 简称 MPO)。
本发明的另一个目的在于,建立一套 MPO的纯化方法。
本发明的还有一个目的在于,建立一套 MPO的 cDNA克隆方法 和采用重组 DNA技术,通过现在通用的表达体系,生产有活性的重组 人 MPO的方法。
本发明包括 MPO的纯化方法。在本发明的下述几个实施例中,将 亲和层析(麦胚凝集素亲和层析和肝素亲和层析)与其他常规分离法相 结合,从再障性病人的尿和血清中分离纯化出人促巨核细胞生成素。使 用 发明的分离纯化方法,从表达 MPO 的昆虫和中国仓鼠卵巢 (CHO)细胞培养液中同样地可以分离纯化出有刺激巨核细胞生长作 用的蛋白质。因此,本发明的分离纯化方法是有效的 MPO分离纯化方 法。 本发明的分离方法技术新颖、重复性好,产率也高。
在本发明的实施例中,使用的其他常规分离方法,包括提取、浓缩、 沉淀、凝胶层析和高效液相层析,也可以包括电泳或其他类似的方法以 及洗涤、搅拌、振荡、过滤等。
在本发明的实施例中,使用麦胚凝集素偶联的琼脂糖和肝素偶联 的琼脂糖,将非亲和性的部分分离开来,极有效地提高了含 MPO的蛋 白质部分的单位特异性活性,有利于其后的用高效液相层析进行的分 离。使用的载体除琼脂糖外.,也可以是任何能与麦胚凝集素或肝素偶联 的其他支承物或载体,如共知的聚苯乙烯、葡聚糖、天然或改性的纤维 素、聚丙烯酰胺等。
MPO纯化方法中各分离步骤的最佳组合和最佳分离纯化条件, 本领域的技术人员可以通过常规实验方法加以确定。
本发明还包括编码 MPO的 DNA分子的克隆及其在宿主细胞中 的表达。在 *发明的下述一个实施例中,确定了纯化的人促巨核细胞生 成素的分子量范围和氨基酸序列。并在另二个实施例中,根据蛋白质顺 序,设计出相应的核苷酸引物,在人胚肝 cDNA文库中克隆出 MPO的 cDNA,并测出其核苷酸顺序,继后在毘虫和中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞 体系中表达出有活性的重组蛋白质因子。
在对人尿 MPO用反相高效液相层析(HPLC)进行最后的分离后 得到的产物中,我们发现二个活性高的组分,经 125 I标记后作聚丙酰胺 电泳分析,其分子量在还原状态下(加二巯基醇)为 24— 32Kd,在非还 原状态下为 35— 45Kd。将 35— 45Kd MPO蛋白用 2%胰蛋白酶消化处 理,经氨基酸序列分析,确定了 MP〇蛋白的氨基酸序列。
根据获得的氨基酸序列,用巳知的遗传密码推测与氨基酸相应的 核苷酸,我们设计了多对变性引物进行 P C R扩增。 '其中一对变性引物 在以胚肝 cDNA文库为模板的扩增中莸得一条特异性扩增带,变性引 物序列如下: TGYAAYTGYG AYTAYAAYTG YCARCAYTAY ATGGA; 2 ) TTYGGNGGNT TRTTYTTYTT YTGNTTYTTY CANTADCT。所获特异扩增带的 cDNA经序列测定,证实与 MPO的 氨基酸序列吻合。
此特异性 cDNA扩增产物用 DIG-dUTP标记,将其作为探针筛选 人胚肝 cDNA文库。 在直径为 14cm的琼脂平板中播下 4一 5万个克 隆,用尼龙膜转移,尼龙膜经变性及缓冲处理后与标记的 cDNA探针 杂交,经洗脱及荧光显影,在 X光底片上荻得图象。
由于使用的 cDNA文库的质粒为 λ-ΖΑΡ。筛选到的阳性克隆可以 用 R408辅助噬菌体进行茵体内 pBluescript的切除,在含有氨苄青霉 素的 LB平板上克隆,再经多次亚克隆和 DNA测序,获得 MPO cDNA 序列,经比较截止 1995年 2月的基因和氨基酸资料库(cDNA序列与 EMBL,Genbank比较,氨基酸序列与 Swissprot资料库比较),未见有 相同的 cDNA序列。
然后,根据获得的 MPO cDNA,构建含 MPO cDNA的转移载体, 在宿主细胞中表达 MPO。用 EcoRI和 pstl酶解质粒 pGEM-MPO (本 实验室构建),回收 MPO cDNA片段,克隆入 pVL 1392的 EcoRI和 Pstl位点之^,产生的质粒 pVL 1392 MPO与 83(:111000101^线性化的 病毒基因组 DNA共转染 Sf9 昆虫细胞,根据被转染的细胞形态的变 化,筛选出重组病毒 AcNPV-MPO。 重组病毒转染昆虫细胞 4至 8天 后,其上清液经初步分离纯化,其蛋白组份比未转染的昆虫细胞培养上 清液多出一分子量为 45Kd的蛋白质,且对巨核细胞集落形成有明显 的刺激作用。
用 EcoRI和 BamHI酶解 pGEM-MPO,用 LMP Agarose 回收 MPO cDNA片段,真核表达载体 pSV2-dhfr用 Hind HI酶解。 将 MPO 基因片段和 Hind II酶切过的 pS V2-dhf r填平后连接,产生质粒 pS V2- MPO。 随后用 pSV2-MPO转染 CHO-dhfr-细胞,从中挑取 dhfr+克隆 69个,用 PCR方法产生 237bp片段,经 [32P]标记后作为探针,杂交阳 性,证实 MPO基因的存在。 部分克隆作氨甲喋呤 (MTX)加压,以扩增 基因,增加表达量。 加压后的细胞裂解液作 SDS-PAGE分析。 条件培 养液经生物活性测定,证实对巨核细胞集落形成有明显的刺激作用。 上述的克隆, 克隆分离, 鉴别, 定性和测序的程序在后面的实施 例中将更详细地描述。
MPO也可以通过其它类型的重组细胞而产生, 如原核细胞的大 肠杆菌, 或其它真核细胞, 比如酵母细胞。构建适当的携带编码 MPO cDNA的表达载体,用来转化宿主细胞 (如大肠杆菌或酵母细胞)或感 染昆虫细胞, 以产生重组的 MPO的方法, 在本领域是共知的。 例如, 可参见 Ausubel 等人编 著 的 " Current Protocols in Molecular Biology "Current Protocols, 1993 ; 和 Sambrook等人编著的" Molecular Cloning : A Laboratory Manual " , 第二版, Cold Spring Harbor Press , 1989。 .
本发明还涉及 MPO的活性突变蛋白和活性片段, 还涉及由融合 于另一多肽或蛋白质的天然 MPO , 或它们的活性突变蛋白或它们的 活性片段组成的融合蛋白, 融合蛋白发挥相似的促进巨核细胞生长分 化的生物学活性。
将构建的含编码 MPO、它们的活性片段、突变蛋白或融合蛋白的 DNA , 和搡纵转录与翻译调控信号的 DNA序列的载体导入真核生物 宿主细胞中.。 为了能选出已导入的 DNA稳定地整合入染色体中的细 胞, 可以使用一种或多种标记以选择含表达载体的宿主细胞。 标记可 以将营养缺陷型宿主, 提供耐致命物质 (如抗菌素)的能力, 提供抗重 金属如铜的耐性, 或类似的性能。 可选择'的标记基因可以直接连于待 表达的基因顺序, 也可以通过共转染一起引入同一细胞。 也需要一些 额外的因子以最理想地合成出单链结合蛋白 mRNA。这些因子可以包 括拼接信号, 以及转录启动子, 增强子和终止信号。
为了表达 MPO蛋白、它们的活性片段或衍生物, 最好将待引入 已选择好的细胞的 DNA分子插入到一个能在受体宿主中自主复制的 质粒或病毒载体中。
在选择特定质粒或病毒载体中的重要因素包括: 能方便地识别并 将含有载体的受体细胞从不含载体的受体细胞中选择出来; 在特定宿 主中所期望的载体的拷贝数目; 是否有利于使载体在不同种的宿主细 胞之间 "穿梭"。 理想的真核生物质粒包括 pVL1392、PSV2等或它们的衍生物。这 些质粒是本领域中共知的。
一旦制备好含目的基因的表达载体, 可以通过一系列合适的方法 中的任何一种将表达载体引入适当的宿主细胞, 如通过转化、转染、脂 质体载体转染、接合作用、原生质体融合、电穿孔、磷酸钙沉淀法.、直接 显微注射法等。
用于本发明的宿主细胞可以是原核或真核生物的。 理想的原核生 物宿主包括细菌如大肠杆菌(£. CoZ )、芽孢杆菌属 CBa 〃 )、链霉素 属 ( Streptojnyces )、 假 单 孢 菌 属 ( Pseudomonas )、 沙 门 菌 属 (Salmonella )、沙雷菌属 Serratia ) 等。 在这些条件下, 蛋白质将不被 糖基化。原核生物宿主必须可与表达质粒中的复制子和控制顺序相容。
然而, 因为 ΜΡΟ是糖基化的蛋白, 所以真核生物宿主优于原核 生物宿主。 理想的真核生物宿主是哺乳动物细胞, 如人、猴、小鼠和中 囯仓鼠卵巢(CHO)细胞, 因为这些细胞可提供蛋白质分子翻译后的修 饰, 包括正确的折叠, 形成正确的二硫鍵以及在正确的位点糖基化。 同样, 酵母细胞和昆虫细胞也可进行翻译后肽的修饰, 包括高度的甘 露糖基化。 有许多使用强启动子顺序和高拷贝数目质粒的重组 DNA 策略, 可用来在酵母和昆虫细胞中产生所期望的蛋白质。 酵母细胞识 别克隆的哺乳动物基因产物上的引导顺序并分泌带引导顺序的肽。 引 入载体后, 宿主细胞在选择培养基上生长, 选择含载体的细胞。 克隆 的基因顺序的表达导致产生 ΜΡΟ或它的融合蛋白或突变蛋白、或其 活性片段。
此处所用的术语"突变蛋白"指 ΜΡΟ的类似物, 其中一个或多个 天然 ΜΡΟ或其活性片段的氨基酸残基被不同的氨基酸残基所替换或 缺失, 或者一个或多个氨基酸残基被加入到天然 ΜΡΟ的顺序中。 而 且, 与天然的 ΜΡΟ的活性片段相比, 没有显著改变所得到的产物的 活性。这些突变蛋白可以用已知的人工合成和 /或定点诱变技术或任何 其它已知的适合用于该目的的技术来制备。
任何一种这样的突变蛋白最好具有与 ΜΡΟ的氨基酸顺序足够一 样的氨基酸顺序, 从而使其具有与 ΜΡΟ或其活性片段实质上相似的 活性。
在较佳的具体例子中, 任何这样的突变蛋白与 MPO至少具有 40%的一致性或同源性。 更佳的具有至少 50%、至少 60%、至少 70%、 至少 80%或最佳的具有至少 90%—致性或同源性。
根据本发明所能使用的 M P〇、多肽或它们的活性片段的突变蛋 白, 或者为其编码的核酸, 包括一系列有限的实质上对应的置换肽或 多聚核苷酸顺序, 它们可以由本领域的一般熟练技术人员, 依据此处 给出的说明和指导, 通过适当的实验方法常规地获得。
根据本发明, 较佳的突变蛋白的改变是那些已知的"保守的 "置 换。 MPO或多肽或它们的活性片段的保守的氨基酸置换可以包括一 组同义氨基酸, 这些氨基酸 ^有足够相似的物化性能使得组中氨基酸 之间的置换会保留该分子的生物学功能〔Grantham , Science , Vol , 185, pp. 862-864 (1974)〕。 已经清楚,在上述限定的顺序中也可以插 入或缺失一些氨基酸而不改变其功能, 尤其是如果插入或缺失只包括 少数氨基酸例如小于 30个, 较佳的小于 10个, 并且不去除或替换对 功能构象至关重要的氨基酸如 Cys 残基时〔 Anfinsen, "Principles That Govern The Folding of Protein Chains,,, Science, Vol., 181, PP. 223-230 (1973)〕。这样的缺失和 /或插入而形成的蛋白质和突变蛋 白归于本发明的范围。
本发明的突变蛋白包括由核酸如 DNA或 RNA编码的蛋白质, 这些核酸在严谨条件下会与编码本发明的 MPO的 DNA或 RNA杂 交。 本发明还包括一类核酸, 它能作为探针用于鉴别和纯化所期望的 核酸。 此外, 该核酸是主要的候选对象, 以确定它是否编码一种具有 本发明的 MPO功能活性的蛋白质。
本发明的重要用途在于:
(1)可以采用已经建立的分离方法从人或动物的尿和血清中大量 纯化天然 MPO。由于天然人 MPO主要于存在于再生障碍性贫血病人 的血和尿中(Hoffman , Blood , 74 : 1196— 1212 , 1989, Han et al , Int J Hematol , 54 : 3— 14, 1991)来源有限,不易大量制备,但假如将某些动 物如牛、狗,猎或老鼠进行照射,造成继发性再生障碍性贫血,然后制备 血清,再采用本发明的方法纯化分离 MPO,则来源充足;

实施例 3 MPO氨基酸序列的分析
在实施例 1 中经反相 HPLC— Nucleosi C4柱或 C8柱分离得到的 产物中,我们发现二个活性高的组分,经 125 I标记后作聚丙酰胺电泳分 析,其分子量在还原状态下(加二巯基醇)为 24— 32Kd和 7— 13Kd (表 1的 35-37管),在非还原状态下为 35-45Kd和 7— 13Kd。
将上述 35— 45Kd的 MPO蛋白质 30微克用 2%胰蛋白酶消化处 理后,用美国 Applied Biosystems公司的 473型氨基酸序列分析仪进 行氨基酸序列分析。 其结果如序列 1所示。
实施例 4 MPO的 cDNA分子克隆
根据实施例 3中 MPO的氨基酸序列中的二条肽序列:1)DATC- NCDYNC QHYMECCPD; 2) SPKPPNKKKT KKVIESEE , 用 巳知 的遗传密码推测与氨基酸相应的核苷酸,我们设计了多对变性引物进 行 PCR 扩增。 其中 一对变性引 物为: 1 ) TGYAAYTGYG AY- TAYAAYTG YCARCAYTAY ATGGA; 2)TTYGGNGGNT TRT- TYTTYTT YTGNTTYTTY CANTADCT (其中 Y = C. Y,R = A. G,N = A. C. G. T,D=G. A. T)。 在以胚肝 cDNA文库为模板的扩增 中获得一条特异性扩增带。所获特异扩增带经 DNA序列测定(见序列 2)证实与氨基酸序列吻合(见序列 1)。
此特异性 cDNA扩增产物用 DIG-dUTP (BOEHRING产品)标 记,作为探针筛选人胚肝 cDNA文库。在直径为 14cm的琼脂平板中播 下 4一 5万个克隆,用尼龙膜转移,尼龙膜经变性及缓冲处理后与.标记 的 cDNA探针杂交,经洗脱及荧光显影,在 X光底片上获得图象(图 1)。 在 100万个克隆中共筛选出 2个阳性克隆。
由于使用的 cDNA文库的质粒为 λ- ZAP,筛选到的阳性克隆可以 用 R408辅助噬菌体进行体内 pBluescript的切除,在含有氨苄青霉素 的 LB平板上克隆,再经多次亚克隆和 DNA测序,荻得了序列 2所示 的 MPO cDNA序列,ΜΡΟ ς _ΝΑ全长 1389bp,编码 441个氨基酸残 基(序列 1) ,经比较 1995年的基因资料库(见前述),未见有相同的 cDNA序列。
我们采用重组 DN A技术,在昆虫细胞和中国仓鼠卵巢(CHO )细 胞中表达出有刺激巨核细胞生长活性的 MPO。
实施例 5 MPO在毘虫细胞中的表达
含 MPO cDNA转移载体的构建和重组病毒的筛选
分子克隆主要参考 Sambrook等的方法(Sambrook, T. et al. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual , 1989, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory , New York.:)。 pGEM质粒购自 Promrga公司。 将 MPO cDNA克隆入 pGEM,构成质粒 pGEM- MPO。此为 MPO cDNA 来源(见图 2)。 用 EcoRI和 Pstl酶解质粒 pGEM-MPO,回收 MPO cDNA片段,克隆入昆虫细胞表达质粒 pVL 1392的 EcoRI和 Pstl位 点处(图 3)。经琼脂糖电泳鉴定 cDNA插入方向,有 1. 4Kb片段出现, 说明 cDNA插入方向是正确的,构建成的质粒称作 pVL1392-MPO. 在这种情况下, MPO cDNA 的表达受控于 AcNPV多角体病毒启动 子,以非融合蛋白形式表达。 用产生的重组质粒 pVL 1392-MPO和 BaculoGold™线性化的病毒基因组 DN A (Parmigen公司)共转染 Sf 9 昆虫细胞 (Christopher Christopher , DNA cloning: A practical approach 1985 , 3 : 163 , IRL Press , Oxford. )。借助于倒置显微镜观察被 转染的细胞形态的变化,筛选出重组病毒 AcNPV-MPO。 抽提重组病 毒基因组 DNA,用一对引物 [(1)GATGGCATGGAAAACACTTCCCC (MK2, 22mer); (2)TCGAAGGACTCAAAGCAGCGGC(MKR2,22mer)。 用 Applied Biosys- tems DNA 合成仪合成。 ],作 PCR 扩增,产 生 237bp 片段;用 Boehringer Mannheim Biochemicals的随机引物试剂盒和 Amersham 公司的 0-32P]-dATP制备 32P标记的 MPO cDNA,将其作探针,进行 杂交分析,结果均为阳性,这进一步证实重组病毒含有 MPO cDNA插 入物,产生的重组病毒称作 AcNPV-MPO。
MPO cDNA在昆虫细胞中的表达及其产物的初步分离
在无血清培养基(Sf-900,Gibco公司产品)中培养昆虫细胞。 用重 组病毒 AcNP V-MPO感染 ¾ 细胞 144小时后,收集培养液,超离心 (100, 000 X g)45分钟,取上清液,作肝素一 Sepharose CL-6B (简称肝 素)柱和麦胚凝集素一 Sepharose 6MB (简称 WGA)柱分离纯化。 肝素 柱(Pharmacia公司产品) 1. 0 X 20cm, 200ml样品过柱二次后,柱先用 PBS 淋洗,后分别 以含 0. 5MNaCl 和 1. OMNaCl 的磷酸缓冲液 (pH7. 2)洗脱,分别合并洗脱峰,对 0. 01 %NH4HC03溶液透析,冰冻 干燥后备用。 . WG A柱(Pharmacia公司产品) 2 X 15cm, 200ml样品过 柱二次后,柱先用 PBS淋洗,后以含 0. 5M 乙酰葡糖胺的 PBS溶液洗 脱,合并洗脱峰,对 0. 01 %NH4HCO3溶液透析,冰冻干燥备用。经肝素 柱和 WGA柱分离的样品作 SDS-PAGE分析(Chen , W. et al. J. Biol. Chem., 266 :4082 , 1991)和生物活力测定。
肝素柱分离峰 I产物的电泳结果(图 4),与对照相比,至少多一分 子量为 45Kd的额外条带。 生物活性测定表明,昆虫细胞表达的 MPO 有促进巨核细胞集落形成的作用,加入不同的粗纯化物,与对照相比, 均有 40%的促进作用(见表 3)。 O 95/23 表 3. 表达 MPO的昆虫细胞培养液对小鼠巨核细胞的作用
