Abstract
提供了一种由嵌合Aβ1-m肽(m为6-15的整数)的诺如病毒衣壳P蛋白形成的重组P颗粒,所述重组P颗粒形成了一种有序和重复的抗原阵列。还提供了编码其的核苷酸序列、包含其的药物组合物及其用于制备治疗或预防阿尔茨海默症的药物的用途。还提供了制备所述重组P颗粒的方法。
Description
本发明涉及分子生物学和免疫学领域。具体地说,本发明涉及由嵌合Aβ1-m肽的诺如病毒衣壳P蛋白形成的重组P颗粒,其中所述重组P颗粒形成了一种有序且重复的抗原阵列,其中m为选自6-15的整数。
阿尔茨海默症(Alzheimer’s disease,AD)又称老年痴呆病,是一种渐行性的神经退行性疾病,其主要临床特征是逐渐出现记忆力减退、认知功能障碍和行为异常,最终丧失独立生活能力,发病后10~20年因并发症死亡。目前这种最为常见的神经退行性疾病尚不能治愈,也没有有效的延缓手段,严重危害老年人的身心健康和生活质量。
研究者们普遍认为大脑组织中的淀粉样-β蛋白(Amyloid-βprotein,简称Aβ)是导致神经元损伤及认知功能障碍的主要致病物质。Aβ来源于其前体物质β-淀粉样前体蛋白(β-Amyloid precursor protein,简称βAPP)。βAPP是一种跨膜蛋白,在体内各种组织中广泛存在,在脑组织中的表达量最高。βAPP在淀粉样剪切途径中,能够被切割成为长度为38至43个氨基酸不等的Aβ蛋白,其中Aβ1-42蛋白是形成淀粉样沉积的主要类型。
目前,以刺激机体产生Aβ抗体从而清除大脑内Aβ1-42沉积为目的的Aβ主动免疫疫苗,是治疗阿尔茨海默症的重要方法。Aβ1-42多肽疫苗作为AD疫苗的先驱,在AD转基因鼠模型中表现出了良好的延缓记忆减退的治疗效果。然而,在Aβ1-42多肽疫苗的临床实验中,6%的AD患者出现了脑膜炎的副反应,且患者产生的Aβ1-42抗体水平较低。研究表明Aβ1-42多肽疫苗虽然可以引起抗体反应,但是由于其携带了大量T细胞表位,会使接种患者的脑神经细胞产生自身免疫性T细胞反应从而引发脑膜炎。相比于Aβ1-42,只包含Aβ多肽N端前15个氨基酸的多肽Aβ1-15,只含有B细胞表位而不含有T细胞表位,并且该多肽类疫苗能够刺激人体产生针对Aβ1-42蛋白的特异性免疫反应,并在人体试验中表现出良好的安全性。因此,Aβ1-15成为了一种非常有研究潜力的抗原肽。但Aβ1-15肽作为一种半抗原,其免疫效果以及诱导产生抗体的持续性不是很好。因此,亟需一种安全性较高且具有良好免疫效果的阿尔兹海默症的疫苗。
在现有技术中,通常优选分别合成病毒样颗粒和Aβ多肽,然后将两者偶联
以获得高免疫原性的疫苗。然而,通过偶联等方法得到的疫苗,难以对插入表位的数量进行控制,并且也难以对疫苗进行有效的纯化。
发明内容

重组P颗粒蛋白的结构如图3A-J所示。
利用阳离子交换柱(购自GE公司)对蛋白质粗提液进行纯化。其具体方案如下:首先用超纯水润洗交换柱,体积约为100ml,然后用pH为5.0的PB溶液平衡交换柱,流速2ml/min,然后将20ml蛋白粗提液以1ml/min的流速加入交换柱,待样品完全挂柱后,用pH为7.0的PB溶液冲洗交换柱,以除去杂蛋白,然后用含有浓度为1mol/L氯化钠的PB溶液进行洗脱,收集峰值蛋白,得到目的蛋白。
继续用疏水层析柱(购自GE公司)对蛋白进行进一步纯化,具体操作方法如下:首先用超纯水润洗柱子,然后用pH为7.0的PB溶液润洗疏水柱,流速为2ml/min。柱子平衡好之后,注入蛋白样品,待样品完全进入柱子后,用pH为7.0的PB与1mol/l氯化钠溶液进行梯度洗脱,洗脱时长为2小时,氯化钠浓度从1mol/l下降到0.1mol/l,收获峰值蛋白。

实施例6嵌合有人Aβ1-m免疫原的P蛋白颗粒的性质表征
发明人进一步分析了10种蛋白多聚体的粒径大小和形态。粒径利用纳米粒径仪(购自马尔文公司)依据生产商的使用说明进行检测。分析结果表明在上述10种重组P颗粒溶液中存在平均直径在20nm左右的颗粒,如图4A-J的下部图所示,PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72蛋白颗粒的粒径为27.88nm;PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149蛋白颗粒的粒径为17.44nm;PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149蛋白颗粒的粒径为27.64nm;PP-20copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169蛋白颗粒的粒为32.55nm;PP-10copy-Aβ1-15-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149蛋白颗粒的粒径为35.88nm;PP-3copy-Aβ1-12-loop2S149-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169蛋白颗粒的粒径为17.02nm;PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169蛋白颗粒的粒径为28.92nm;PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169蛋白颗粒的粒径为18.14nm;PP-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169蛋白颗粒的粒径为25.56nm;PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169

表4.PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149的免疫方案
3.1.1体液免疫—ELISA检测实验
每次免疫前一天对小鼠割尾取血,血样37℃放置2h后,4℃放置1h,3000rpm离心,取上层血清,冻存待用。以Aβ1-42(购自上海吉尔生化公司)为抗原,用无菌PBS配制成1mg/ml溶液,用抗原包被液稀释至1ng/μl,包被
96孔板,每孔100μl,4℃包被过夜。每孔用300μlPBST(pH7.4,0.01mol/L PBS,含有0.05%Tween-20)洗涤三次后,加入封闭液(pH7.4,0.01mol/L PBS,20%的新生牛血清),37℃封闭2小时。用PBST洗涤三次,加入不同稀释梯度(1:200、1:800、1:3200、1:12800、1:51200、1:204800)的抗血清,每孔100μl,37℃,孵育2小时。用PBST洗涤三次,加入0.3μg/ml的HRP(辣根过氧化物酶)山羊抗小鼠二抗(购自北京鼎国昌盛生物技术有限责任公司),每孔100μl,37℃,孵育1小时。PBST洗涤三次,加入底物四甲基联苯胺(TMB)(购自天根生化科技有限公司),每孔100μl,避光显色25分钟,每孔加入2M硫酸50μl,终止反应,酶标仪(购自Bio-red公司)450nm处检测吸光度。
实验结果如图5.A所示,以CpG为免疫佐剂,并以25μg为剂量时,或者以50μg为剂量而不使用免疫佐剂时,PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2-S149蛋白疫苗在所有所示稀释倍数时,都可刺激小鼠产生具有相对较高滴度的针对Aβ42的特异性抗体。
3.1.2细胞免疫-ELISPOT检测
利用细胞因子干扰素γ的单克隆抗体(来自elispot试剂盒,购自BD公司)包被96孔板,浓度5μg/ml,每孔50ul,加盖4℃包被过夜。弃去包被抗体,用10%胎牛血清的完全培养基洗涤一次后,在每孔加入该完全培养基200μl,37℃封闭1小时后弃去培养基。拉颈将实验鼠处死,取其脾细胞,制成细胞浓度为107个/ml细胞悬液,将细胞悬液加入包被好的96孔板中,每孔100ul。每孔加入1μg/ml的特异性抗原Aβ1-42抗原100μl,37℃,5%CO2培养箱中培养24小时,刺激、活化细胞。24小时后,用无菌水洗板两次,无菌PBST(pH7.4,0.01mol/L PBS,含有0.05%Tween-20)缓冲液洗涤6次,洗去细胞。每孔加入干扰素γ的抗体(来自elispot试剂盒,购自BD公司),50μl,抗体浓度为2μg/ml,室温孵育两小时。洗涤96孔板,加入辣根过氧化物标记的生物素二抗(来自elispot试剂盒,购自BD公司)每孔50ul,室温培养2h,PBST洗涤四次,PBS洗涤2次后,每孔加入50μlElispot显色液(AEC底物),避光室温反应5~60分钟,弃去染色液,用蒸馏水洗涤,过夜干燥后,利用显微镜计算出样品中被激活细胞的数目。
实验结果如图5B所示,T细胞反应阳性对照组Aβ42组有较多的斑点数出现,证明其有较强的T细胞反应。而25μg蛋白+铝佐剂组也有较多的斑点数出现,证明铝佐剂会刺激机体产生一定的T细胞反应。而25μg
PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2-S149+CpG佐剂组和50μg组没有或有较少的阳性斑点数,证明其在体内无明显的T细胞反应发生,并且如3.1.1中所述,该免疫策略能够刺激小鼠产生最高滴度的针对于Aβ42的特异性抗体。而出于疫苗的安全性考虑,选择25μg PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149+CpG佐剂作为最佳免疫策略。

表5.三种代表性P颗粒蛋白的免疫方案
应用3.1.1所述的方法,以Aβ1-42为抗原,包被于ELISA板上,以免疫后小鼠血清为一抗,HRP山羊抗小鼠抗体为二抗,TMB为底物,硫酸为终止液,进行反应,终止反应后,在450nm处,利用酶标仪对吸光度进行检测,通过吸光度的大小比较血清中抗体的含量。并以PBS为阴性对照,以商用抗体6e10
(购自Covance公司)为阳性对照,以三种蛋白免疫小鼠前后的血清为实验组进行实验,结果如图6所示,三种蛋白都可以刺激小鼠机体产生针对于Aβ42的特异性抗体。说明本发明疫苗具有良好的免疫原性。并用商用抗体6e10为阳性对照,绘制标准曲线,用于抗体浓度的计算,免疫效果比较结果如图6所示。三种蛋白的两种免疫方式都能够产生针对Aβ42的特异性抗体,其OD值都明显高于PBS组和CpG组,并随着免疫次数的增加,抗体浓度不断上升,在第四次免疫时,抗体水平能够达到最高值。通过对比可知,皮下免疫的效果要好于鼻腔免疫。

其中,PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72、PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149、PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149、PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-20copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149、PP-10copy-Aβ1-15-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149、PP-20copy-Aβ1-15-loop1G72-40copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149、PP-3copy-Aβ1-12-loop2S149-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-20copy-Aβ1-12-loop2S149-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-3copy-Aβ1-12-loop3G169、PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-12-loop3G169、PP-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-1copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169、PP-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-10copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169。这17种P颗粒免疫效果较好,能够诱导产生高浓度的抗体。
根据阳性抗体6e10制作标准曲线,其线性拟合曲线为y=47.692x+0.2964,R2=0.99。根据该标准曲线,在线性范围内,可计算诱导产生抗体的浓度,其中PP-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop1G72-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop2S149-3copy-Aβ1-6-loop3G169在第四次免疫后诱导产生的抗体浓度在245.12μg/ml左右。因此,本发明具有良好的免疫效果,免疫后小鼠血清中抗Aβ1-42抗体的浓度较高,具有非常好的治疗效果,是一种非常有潜力的治疗AD症的蛋白疫苗。
