类风湿性关节炎是严重影响人类健康的常见病、 多发病, 由 于迄今为止对其病因及其发病机制不甚了解, 因此控制炎症、 緩 解症状、 维持关节功能仍是目前 RA治疗的主要手段, 远未达到 控制关节损伤的目标。 近年来, 随着分子生物学技术的发展, 对 RA 研究取得了巨大进展, 尤其是随着对其发病机制认识的不断 深入, 新的治疗方法和策略也相应产生。
1993 年, 美国科学家首次在 《科学》 ( Trentham DE, Dynesius-Trentham RA, Orav EJ, et al. Science, 1993,261: 1727-1730 )报道了他们用天然鸡 II型胶原蛋白 (鸡 CCII ) 治疗 RA 患者获得巨大成功的研究结果, 立刻引起全世界对这一疗法 的高度重视。 目前美国、 英国、 法国等发达国家正在进行鸡 II型 胶原蛋白治疗 RA的 ΙΙ-ΙΠ期临床实验研究。 从已发表的研究结 果综合分析可以得出如下基本结论: 口服耐受的确为 RA的治疗 开辟了一条能标本兼治极具前景的新途径、 新策略和新疗法
(Trentham DE, Dynesius-Trentham RA, Orav EJ, et al., Science, 1993,261: 1727-1730,)。
目前, 在鸡 II型胶原蛋白还未完成 ΙΙ-ΠΙ期临床实验之前, 欧美发达国家制药公司纷纷将鸡 II型胶原蛋白制成食品添加剂, 以避开冗长烦瑣的药物审批。 然而, 纵观目前国际上探索口服免 疫耐受治疗 RA所用的均是天然鸡 II型胶原蛋白, 其最大的缺陷 就在于: 1 )不同公司生产制备的天然鸡 II型胶原蛋白质量不同, 即便是同一公司所生产的不同批号的鸡 II型胶原蛋白产品质量也 会不同。 从而也就难以确保疗效的一致性、 连续性。 2 )天然鸡 II 型胶原蛋白提取和制备所需人力物力甚大。
本发明人提出了解决上述问题的新思路: 即采用基因工程方 法重組生产鸡 II 型胶原蛋白。 为此, 提出克隆其编码基因, 即 CCOL2A1基因, 并实现高效表达, 重组生产鸡 II型胶原蛋白的 设想。 本发明就是基于发明人首次克隆成功编码鸡 II型胶原蛋白 的全长多核苷酸序列 -CCOL2A1 cDNA而完成的。 发明概述
本发明一个方面涉及一种如 SEQ ID NO: 1所示包含编码全 长鸡 II型胶原蛋白的多核苷酸序列之核酸分子, 或其具有相同生 物学功能的片段。
本发明又一方面涉及由本发明所述核酸分子编码的鸡 II 型 胶原蛋白, 或其具有相同生物学活性的片段。
本发明另外涉及一种含有本发明所述编码鸡 II 型胶原蛋白 的核酸分子或其具有相同生物学功能的片段的重组表达载体。
本发明又一方面涉及一种由上述重组表达载体转化的宿主 细胞, 其能够表达鸡 II型胶原蛋白, 或其具有相同生物学活性的 片段。
本发明再一方面涉及一种制备所述鸡 II型胶原蛋白的方法, 其中包括
1) .用本发明所述重组表达载体转化合适的宿主细胞;
2) .在合适的培养基中及适当的培养条件下培养宿主细胞;
3) .从培养基或细胞中分离、 纯化目的蛋白质。
本发明还涉及了本发明所述鸡 II 型胶原蛋白用于制备治疗 和 /或预防类风湿性关节炎的药物的用途。
本发明特别涉及了一种用于预防和 /或治疗骨关节炎、 类风 湿性关节炎的药物组合物, 其中包含治疗有效量的由本发明所述 方法制备的鸡 II型胶原蛋白, 和任选的, 药学可接受的载体。
本发明还包括食品或饮料组合物, 其特征在于包含一定量的 由本发明所述方法制备的鸡 II型胶原蛋白。
本发明也包括一种食品添加剂组合物, 其中包含一定量的由 本发明所迷方法制备的鸡 II型胶原蛋白。
本发明还包括了本发明所述核酸分子或其片段用于基因治 疗的用途。 发明详述
口服耐受是自九十年代国际上兴起治疗自身免疫病的特异 性免疫疗法之一, 也是近年来免疫学研究领域中最活跃、 最富有 成效的领域之一。 它是指口服某种蛋白质抗原, 随后再用该抗原 进行胃肠外免疫, 引起机体对该抗原产生全身性低免疫应答状态。 现已知介导口服耐受的主要机制包括自身细胞抑制、 克隆无能、 克隆清除以及旁观者抑制, 这还远不是其机制的全部。 其中决定 因素是抗原的用量、 种类来源、 性质、 抗原递呈处理的过程以及 宿主的遗传背景和发育程度。
从已发表的研究结果综合分析可以得出如下基本结论: 1 ) . 口服耐受的确为 RA的治疗开辟了一条能标本兼治极具前景的新 途径、 新策略和新疗法; 2 ) . 口服耐受鸡 II型胶原蛋白的确对相 当一部分 RA患者疗效十分显箸; 3). 鸡 II型胶原蛋白的疗效要 远好与其它物种来源的 II型胶原蛋白, 因其富含大量的硫酸软骨 素 A和粘蛋白(proteoglycans), 而粘蛋白中破酸葡糖胺含量最高, 它们有着强有力的抗炎作用和软骨修复作用; 尤其是来源于 6-8 周龄雏鸡胸骨的鸡 II型胶原蛋白其含量最高; 4). 此外, 鸡 II型 胶原蛋白中还含有抗氧化作用的粘蛋白, 又称之为软骨基质糖蛋 白(CMGP), 它能有效地減少氧化作用对软骨细胞的损伤; 5 ) . 鸡 II型胶原蛋白能有效防止蛋白酶对关节软骨的消化破坏, 重新编 程已被破坏的软骨细胞和细胞因子,从而明显减少炎症的发生; 6 ). 鸡 II型胶原蛋白能促进软骨细胞及粘蛋白的合成, 增加关节滑液 及透明质酸的分泌; 7 ) . 鸡 II型胶原蛋白是强有力的抗炎剂和疼 痛緩解剂; 8 ) . 鸡 II型胶原蛋白治疗十分安全无任何毒副作用, 这是目前任何其它治疗 RA药物所不能比拟的。
目前,口服 II型胶原蛋白诱导机体产生免疫耐受已成为有效 治疗类风湿关节炎极为重要的新策略。 为了提供大量、 优质鸡 II 型胶原蛋白用于上述治疗, 本发明人摒弃传统的从天然来源中提 取、 纯化的方法, 采用基因工程方法重组生产鸡 II型胶原蛋白。
为此,本发明人提出克隆 CCOL2A1基因并高效表达重組生产 CCII的设想, 同时还可深化对 CCOL2A1基因的全面认识与了解。 因为迄今为止, 国际上虽已成功地克隆了人、 犬、 鼠 COL2A1基因 及并进行了染色体上的定位, 但对于具有如此重大药用价值、 治疗 价值和经济价值的 CCOL2A1基因尚未有克隆成功的报道。 亦即, 有关 CCOL2A1全长 cDNA与基因组 DNA的克隆、 CCOL2A1在染 色体上的定位、 CCOL2A1 在各组织中的构成性表达、 CCOL2A1 相关生物信息学以及重組 CCOL2A1的表达研究在国际上还是一个 空白。
由于编码鸡 II型胶原蛋白的 cDNA基因序列较长, 而目前 对其功能区的 cDNA序列所知甚微, 因此获得编码鸡 II型胶原蛋 白三螺旋区的 cDNA无疑是非常重要。 由于 II型胶原具有复杂的 二级结构, 高重复序列, 高 GC含量(平均 GC含量大于 70%, 个别区域 GC 含量高达 80% ) (Nah DH, Upholt WB., J Biol Chem,1991, 266 34:23446-23452),因此,直接进行 PCR非常困难。
为此, 我们首先采用 Goldkey软件对已知的编码鸡 II型胶 原蛋白 3,原肽区 cDNA序列进行酶切位点分析, 尝试采用限制 性内切酶不完全消化 cDNA, 再用消化后的 cDNA进行 C端原肽 区的 PCR 扩增的策略获得成功。 鉴于编码鸡 II 型胶原蛋白的 cDNA基因序列较长,我们将 cDNA分成五部分分别进行 PCR扩 增, 并使各扩增片断彼此之间重叠至少 50bp, 便于最后采用 SOE-PCR策略将各 cDNA片段进行首尾连接。 针对编码鸡 II型 胶原蛋白胶原基因中的高 GC含量,在 PCR扩增中应选用适宜扩 增高 GC含量且保证性强的 Tag酶。
最终本发明人获得了长度为 4837bp的 CCOL2A1全长 cDNA, 它包括 4260bp 开放阅读框和 520bp 的 3 '非翻译区。 将其插入 pGEM-T载体进行序列测定证实, 该 cDNA序列为 CCOL2A1所特 有的迄今未曾报道过的基因序列。 序列测定结果登录于 GenBank (AY046949)。
已有的研究表明, 鸡 II型胶原蛋白基因组 DNA具有复杂的 结构。 鉴于国际上迄今为止对于 CCOL2A1基因組 DNA尚无任何 详细研究资料加以阐述这一事实, 我们在成功地克隆了编码 CCOL2A1全长 cDNA的基础上, 随后又对 CCOL2A1基因組 DNA 进行了克隆分析。 由于 CCOL2A1基因组 DNA具有含高量 GC、 重 复序列多、 引物非特异结合部位太多等复杂的结构, 最初我们通过 PCR对鸡外周血细胞( EDTA抗凝) 中提取的 DNA进行扩增, 仅 能获得 CCOL2A13,端 5494bp的片段, 而对 3,端以外的基因組序 列, 无论如何调整模板、 引物及 PCR扩增条件, 均未能获得该目的 基因。 随后, 又对从鸡基因组 DNA文库中筛选到的阳性克隆进行测 序, 但也因高 GC含量及 PolyT结构限制了测序反应的进行, 使测 序信号中断。
为此, 我们采取了利用已知的外显子序列, 设计多个测序引物, 才使 CCOL2A1基因组 DNA的测序得以完成。最终我们获得长度为 12003bp的 CCOL2A1基因组 DNA序列, 其中包含 45个外显子和 44个内含子。 经查新检索证实, 该基因組 DNA序列为 CCOL2A1 基因组所特有的国际上未曾报道过的。 相关基因序列亦已递交 GenBank, Accession No为 AF452711。
通过对 CCOL2A1基因组 DNA序列的分析不难看出, 与鸡 I 型胶原和 III型胶原相比, CCOL2A1基因的内含子与外屋子明显的 较小, 这与 Upholt 等曾报道的相同 (Ausar SF, Beltramo DM, Castagna LF, et al., Rhematol Int., 2001, 20 :138-144 ); II型胶原 (CII)在进化上高度保守,不同种属的 II型胶原蛋白其氨基酸同源 性均高于 92%, 甚至达 99%。 因此, 我们认为造成 CCOL2A1基 因紧凑的原因并非内含子数量上的减少, 而是由于内含子平均长度 较小所致。
为了更好地认识和掌握 CCOL2A1 基因生物信息学的相关内 容, 深入了解 CCOL2A1基因的进化特征, 本研究利用 Dnastar软 件包中的 MegAlign,将我们所克隆的 CCOL2A1全长 cDNA及其相 应蛋白质序列与从 GenBank数据库中检索到的犬( AF023169, AF242201 ), 人 ( L10347 X 斑点鱼 ( U23822 )和小鼠 ( M65161 ) 等不同种属的 II型胶原三螺旋区 cDNA序列及蛋白质序列进行了同 源性比较与分析, 通过 Genedoc程序编辑, 绘制出进化树。 结果显 示, 鸡 CII与犬 CII在种族进化上同源性最高, cDNA与氨基酸同 源性分别为 79.03 %和 94.77 %; 其次为鸡与人的 CII, 同源性分别 为 78.96%和 93.89%; 鸡与小鼠 CII的同源性最低分别为 77.38%和 92.90%。 人与犬 CII在所比较的五种种属中同源性最高, 核苷酸与 氨基酸同源性分别为 91.89%和 98.52%; 其次为人与鼠 CII, 同源性 分别为 88.63%和 96.15%。
在成功地揭示了有关 CCOL2A1 cDNA、 基因組 DNA及其进 化特征后, 及时准确地将 CCOL2A1在染色体上进行定位则显得十 分重要。 虽然 RH 杂交作图是目前基因在染色体定位最精确的方 法, 但限于鸡 RH杂交板目前尚无厂家出售。 为此我们采用染色体 FISH技术, 利用地高辛标记的 CCOL2A13,UTR基因片段为探针, 与从鸡外周血细胞中制备的中期分裂相染色体进行杂交。 经统计分 析确证, 编码 CCOL2A1的基因定位于 4号染色体短臂 2区, 而小 鼠、人相应的 COL2A1则分别定位于 8号及 12号染色体( Barnett ML, Combitchi D, Trentham DE. , Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1996, 39 4:623-628 )。
我们知道, 胶原在机体内广泛存在, 不同的胶原型可公用其 中的一条链, XI型胶原与 II型胶原之间则属于此情况。 XI型胶 原是由三个不同的多肽亚单位 α1、 α2、 α3组成的, 其中 α3是 αΐ ( II )基因的表达产物, 即 α3与 II型胶原 o l链仅羟化赖氨酸含 量不同(Rousseau JC, Farjanel J, Boutillon MM, et al., J Biol Chem, 1996,271(39): 23743-8); XIII型胶原为 II型胶原的跨膜形 式, 即 XIII 型胶原与 II 型胶原链的组成完全相同(Snellman A,Keranen MR, Hagg PO, et al. J Biol Chem, 2000, 275(12):8936-44)。 为了深入认识 CCOL2A1 在鸡整个胚胎发育进化中的重要作 用,本发明采用 RT-PCR与双抗体夹心 ELISA法分别对 CCOL2A1 在鸡胚与成鸡各组织中的构成性表达进行了全面系统的分析。 结果 表明, CCOL2A1 mRNA在发育鸡胚的心、 肝、 玻璃体、 角膜、 皮 肤、 胸肌、 胸骨、 小肠、 关节软骨、 半月板及颅骨中存在着相应表 达, 而在脾脏、 胸腺与睾丸中未检测到 CCOL2Al mRNA的表达; 对成鸡 ccn蛋白质水平的检测显示, CCII蛋白除了在胸骨与关节 软骨中有表达外, 在胰脏与小肠中亦有表达, 其中以关节软骨中的 表达水平为最高, 其次为胸骨。 应说明的是, 在成年鸡 II型胶原 蛋白表达傅的检测中, 由于 ELISA实验中鸡 II型胶原蛋白经胃 蛋白酶、 弹性蛋白酶消化后, II型胶原形成 α链小短肽, 因此含 有 αΐ ( II )链的胶原均可与鸡 II型胶原蛋白单克隆抗体结合, 因 此实验中不能排出同时检测到 XI, XIII型胶原蛋白的可能。
应强调的是, CCOL2A1外显子的剪切方式十分复杂, 尤其是 II型胶原外显子 2在不同的組织采取不同的剪接方式。 为此, 我 们对鸡胚发育时的软骨組织如胸骨、 关节软骨和非软骨组织如心脏、 肝脏、 胸肌、 小肠、 眼球玻璃体、 角膜中 Ν端外显子 2剪切方式进 行了分析。 在实验中我们发现 17日龄鸡胚胸骨、 生长板、 关节软 骨中获取的编码鸡 Π型胶原蛋白 的 cDNA不含外显子 2;而心脏、 肝脏、 眼球玻璃体、 角膜、 小肠、 肌肉、 皮肤、 胸肌等非软骨组织 中以含有外显子 2的表达存在; 其中眼球玻璃体、 角膜中提取的 总 RNA, 经 RT-PCR发现存在含与不含有外显子 1两种情形; 但 眼球玻璃体 RT-PCR显示, 在较小日龄的鸡胚(小于 14天)仅 以含外显子 2的形式存在(数据未给出); 而当鸡胚发育至 17天, RT-PCR结果却出现另外一种情形, 以不含外显子 2为主要表达 形式。 这是迄今国际上首次对 CCOL2A1外显子 2在不同组织中进 行剪切方式的研究报道。 对于上述现象只能以下面的解释作为答案: 鸡 II型胶原蛋 白在软骨組织中已不含外显子 2的形式存在, 而在非软骨组织中 如心脏、 肝脏、 角膜、 小肠、 肌肉、 皮肤等中主要以含有外显子 2 的形式存在; II型胶原基因组存在调控序列, 其调控 II型胶原在 胚胎发育的不同时期及不同组织中的表达; 鸡 II型胶原蛋白在各 脏器广泛存在的现象随着鸡的成长发育而消失, 而代之于鸡 II型 胶原蛋白仅在软骨组织中表达; 发育的鸡胚胸骨中鸡 II型胶原蛋 白含量丰富 ( Young MF, Vogeli G, Nunez AM, et al. , Nucleic Acids Res, 1984,12 (10): 4207-4228; Marshall GE, Konstas AGP, Lee WR. , BrJ Ophthalmol, 1993,77:515-524 ), 但随鸡的生长发 育, 胸软骨逐渐钙化, 鸡 II型胶原蛋白含量逐渐下降。 关于鸡 II 型胶原在机体内的表达, 目前认为鸡 II型胶原在成熟的个体存在 于眼球玻璃体与软骨 ( Seery CM, Davision PF. , Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci,1991,32:1540-1550 ; Huerre-Jeanpierre C, Mattei MG, Weil D, et al., Am J Hum Genet, 1986, 38(1): 26-37 ), 而我们对天然鸡 II型胶原的表达检测中却发现眼球玻璃体中不存 在 Π型胶原的表达。
为实现本发明的目的, 本发明人对编码鸡 π型胶原蛋白的 cDNA成功进行了克隆、 染色体定位、 表达谱分析、 基因组 DNA 克隆以及 CCOL2A1相关生物信息学分析。 尤其是编码鸡 II型胶 原蛋白全长 cDNA 的克隆成为本发明完成的坚实基础, 意义重 大。 鸡 II型胶原蛋白作为口服耐受治疗 RA的新策略, 其 cDNA 的克隆无疑将使基因工程方法生产重组鸡 II 型胶原蛋白成为可 能。

实施例 2 鸡 COL2A1基因组 DNA的提取
鸡 COL2A1基因组 DNA的提取采用 Wizard genomic DNA purification kit ( Promega ) 进行。 具体操作见试剂盒说明书。 提取 DNA纯度测定 260/280为 1.6-1.8 ( BECKMAN, DU®640 )。 鸡 COL2 A1基因组 DNA的 PCR克隆及文库 选
以 PgF与 PgR为上、下游引物,引物序列为: PgF 5,CCA GGC AAG GAT GGC GCA CG 3 I PgR 5'CCT GAT CGG CTC CGC CAA TGT CCA TAG G 3; 进行 CCOL2A1C端基因組的克隆。 选 用 LA Taq酶( GC buffer )对 CCOL2A1基因组 DNA进行 PCR扩 增。 采用 0.8%琼脂糖电泳检查 PCR扩增结果, 以凝胶回收试剂盒 回收目的基因并连至 pGEM-T载体,酶切鉴定、测序鉴定阳性克隆。 由于 CCOL2A1基因组序列中的高 GC含量及 polyT结构, 亦通过 SOE-PCR方法以全血总 DNA为模板分段克隆 CCOL2A1基因组 N-端序列, 以拼接成接近于全长的 CCOL2A1基因組 DNA序列。
最初我们通过 PCR对鸡外周血中提取的 DNA进行扩增, 能获 得 CCOL2A1 3,端 5494bp的片段, 扩增产物特异性极高 (图 1-9), 将其插入 pGEM-T载体, 得到 pGEM-T/CCOL2Al, 进行测序。 测序结果可以看出鸡 CCOL2A1 3,端基因组 DNA包含部分三 螺旋区、 3,端肽及 3,原肽, 此克隆基因组部分含有 19个内含子及 20个外显子。
然而对 3,端以外的基因组序列, 无论如何调整模板、 引物及 PCR扩增条件,均未能获得该目的基因。随后,又对从鸡基因組 DNA 文库中筛选到的阳性克隆进行测序, 但也因高 GC含量及 PolyT结 构限制了测序反应的进行, 使测序信号中断。
为此, 我们采取了利用已知的外显子序列, 设计多个测序引物, 才使 CCOL2A1基因組 DNA的测序得以完成。最终我们获得长度为 12003b 的 CCOL2A1基因组 DNA序列, 其中包含 45个外显子和 44个内含子, 内含子、 外显子结构如表 2示。 所得鸡 COL2A1 3 ' 端基因的结构如图 2所示。 经查新检索证实, 该基因组 DNA序列 为 CCOL2A1 基因组所特有, 国际上未曾报道过。 相关基因序列亦 已递交 GenBank, Accession No为 AF452711。
