本発明の蛋白質は、糖化ヘモグロビンにプロテアーゼが作用して糖化ヘモグロビンより生成される糖化ヘキサペプチドに作用し、過酸化水素を生成させる性質を有することから、各種試料中の糖化蛋白質の測定に用いることができる。具体的には、試料をプロテアーゼと反応させて糖化ヘキサペプチドを生成させ、生成された糖化ヘキサペプチドと、本発明の蛋白質とを反応させ、当該糖化ヘキサペプチドと本発明の蛋白質との反応により生成される物質又は当該糖化ペプチドと本発明の蛋白質との反応において消費される物質を測定することにより、試料中の糖化ヘモグロビンを測定することができる。試料中の糖化ヘモグロビンの測定に係る反応は、後述の水性媒体中で行われてもよい。本発明における糖化ヘモグロビンとしては、例えばHbA1cが挙げられる。
以下、本発明の測定方法について説明する。
本発明の測定方法に用いられる試料としては、糖化ヘモグロビンを含む試料であれば特に制限はなく、例えば全血液、血漿、血清、血球、細胞試料、尿、髄液、汗、涙液、唾液、皮膚、粘膜、毛髪等の生体試料等が挙げられる。試料としては、全血液、血漿、血清、血球等が好ましく、全血液、血球等が特に好ましい。なお、全血液には、全血液由来の血球画分に血漿が混合している試料も含まれる。これらの試料は、溶血、分離、希釈、濃縮、精製等の前処理を施したものを用いてもよい。
即ち、精製ヘモグロビンを含む試料又は全血液を含む試料にプロテアーゼを作用させると、例えばα-F6P、α-FVH、α-FV、ε-FK、α-FVL等が生成され、α-F6P、α-FVH及びα-FVLは糖化ヘモグロビンに由来し、α-F6P、α-FVHはHbA1cに特異的に由来する。
従って、HbA1cを測定する場合は、α-F6Pまたはα-FVHを特異的に測定すればよい。本発明の蛋白質は、α-F6Pに対する反応性が高いことから、HbA1cを効果的に測定することができる。
本発明に使用しうるプロテアーゼは、試料中に含まれる測定すべき糖化ヘモグロビンに作用し、糖化ヘキサペプチドを生成させるものであればいかなるものを用いてもよく、例えば、エンドプロテイナーゼGlu-C、V8プロテアーゼ、プロテイナーゼK、プロテイナーゼP、プロナーゼ、サーモリシン、サチライシン、カルボキシペプチダーゼ、キモトリプシン、ディスパーゼ、パパイン、フィシン、ブロメライン、アミノペプチダーゼ等のプロテアーゼあるいはペプチダーゼ等が挙げられ、特に好ましくは、エンドプロテイナーゼGlu-C、V8プロテアーゼが挙げられる。
試料のプロテアーゼ処理条件は、用いるプロテアーゼが測定対象の糖化ヘモグロビンに作用し、α-F6Pを短時間に効率よく遊離する条件であれば、いかなる条件でもよい。使用するプロテアーゼの量は、試料中に含まれるHbA1cの含量、あるいは処理条件等により適宜選択され、例えば、一例として、エンドプロテイナーゼGlu-C(例えば、ロシュ・ダイアグノスティックス社製)を、終濃度が0.1~50 U/mL、好ましくは1~10 U/mLとなるように加える。さらに必要により適宜他のプロテアーゼを加えてもよい。プロテアーゼで処理する際のpHは、無調整でもよく、使用するプロテアーゼの作用に好適なpHとなるように、例えば、適当なpH調整剤、例えば、塩酸、酢酸、硫酸、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム等により、pH2~9、好ましくはpH3~8に調整してもよい。処理温度は、例えば、20~50℃で行ってもよく、用いる酵素によっては、より高温域の45~70℃で行ってもよい。この際の処理時間は、HbA1cを分解するのに充分な時間であればよく、例えば、5秒間~180分間、好ましくは1~60分間で行うことができる。得られる処理液を、そのまま、あるいは必要により適宜、加熱、遠心分離、濃縮、希釈等を行ったのち、糖化ヘキサペプチドを含む試料として糖化ヘキサペプチドオキシダーゼの反応に供する。
本発明の試料中の測定すべき糖化ヘモグロビンの測定は、下記(i)~(iii)の工程を順次行うことによって行うことができる。
(i)試料中の糖化ヘモグロビンをプロテアーゼと反応させて糖化ヘキサペプチドを生成させる工程、
(ii)生成された糖化ヘキサペプチドを本発明の蛋白質と反応させる工程、及び、
(iii)(ii)の工程で生成された物質、又は、消費された物質を測定する工程。
各工程の反応の反応温度としては、例えば10~50℃で、好ましくは20~40℃であり、反応時間としては、1秒間~60分間、好ましくは1~10分間である。
過酸化水素測定試薬は、生成された過酸化水素を検出可能な物質へ変換するための試薬である。検出可能な物質としては、例えば色素、光等が挙げられるが、色素が好ましい。
測定すべき糖化蛋白質を含む試料は、必要に応じて生体試料から分離することができる。分離方法としては、遠心、濾過、血球分離膜を用いた方法等が挙げられる。例えば遠心による分離方法は、全血液を血球、血漿もしくは血清に分離することができる。必要に応じて、該血球を生理食塩水等の等張液で洗浄することで、血漿由来の成分を除去した洗浄血球を得ることもできる。
健常人及び糖尿病患者から血液を採取、転倒混和後、25℃で5分間、遠心分離(3,000 rpm)を行う。遠心分離後、上澄みの血漿は除去する。下層部分の血球層1容に対して、4容の生理食塩水を追加し、転倒混和後、25℃で5分間、遠心分離(3,000 rpm)を行う。遠心分離後、上澄みの生理食塩水を除去する。この洗浄操作を3回繰り返した後、洗浄された血球層1容に対して9容の蒸留水を添加し、洗浄血球を得ることができる。

F液: 30 mg/mL 糖化ヘモグロビンオキシダーゼ(FPOX-19、FPOX-20、FPOX-32又はFPOX-42)の10 mmol/L リン酸緩衝液(pH7.0) 溶液
(i) D液40μLにE液4μLを混合し、37℃にて10分間インキュベーションした。
(ii) A液 10 mLにB液12.6 μL、C液 35 μLを添加した溶液を、1試料当たり190 μLずつ96穴マイクロプレートの各ウェルに分注した後、D液とE液の混合液 20 μL、及び、F液10 μLを加えて混合し、37℃で60分間反応させた。
全自動マイクロプレートEIA分析装置(AP-96、協和メデックス社製)により、反応前の溶液の660 nm(主波長)/750 nm(副波長)における吸光度Abs(反応前)及び反応後の660 nm(主波長)/750 nm(副波長)における吸光度Abs(反応後)を測定した。吸光度Abs(反応後)から吸光度Abs(反応前)を差し引いて、反応吸光度変化Δ'Abs(反応)とした。
HbA1c濃度が既知である2つのヒト血球由来溶血試料(ヘモグロビン濃度が10 mg/mLで、HbA1c濃度がそれぞれ9.82μmol/L、24.2μmol/Lである試料)を用いて同様の測定を行い、HbA1c濃度と反応吸光度ΔAbs(反応)との間の関係を示す検量線を作成した。
各ヒト血球由来溶血試料に対する反応吸光度ΔAbs(反応)を前記の検量線に照らし合わせることにより、各ヒト血球由来溶血試料におけるHbA1c濃度を決定した。決定されたHbA1c濃度を、HPLC法(KO500法)及びヘモグロビン-SLS法を用いるHbA1c測定方法により決定されたHbA1c濃度と比較した。
