  • Vaccines are the best way to prevent and control influenza. Vaccines can reduce the incidence of disease and reduce the severity of infection, especially in young children and the elderly who are at risk of complications from influenza. Even if currently approved influenza vaccines confer good protection in healthy young adults, there are still some issues that need to be addressed. For example, some vaccines rely on chicken embryos, such as fire-fighting influenza vaccines and attenuated influenza vaccines. One disadvantage of these vaccines is that if the circulating strains are of avian origin, the epidemic will lead to vaccines and chicken embryos. Demand increases, which can lead to problems with the supply of chicken embryos [6] .

  • the elderly are more likely to develop severe syndrome, and the standard vaccine is generally not effective for the elderly, and the immune system of the elderly will gradually weaken with age [7] .
  • an influenza vaccine with strong immunogenicity that can be rapidly produced without relying on chicken embryos is urgently needed for the epidemic of influenza viruses.

  • 2019-nCoV mutants poses new challenges to the existing vaccine candidates and the control of the epidemic [10] . Therefore, a vaccine that is potent and can also work on 2019-nCoV mutants is not suitable for the current epidemic situation. is urgently needed.

It has been reported that after vaccinia virus and lymphocytic chorioencephalitis virus (LCMV) infection, type I interferon can promote the antigen-presenting ability of DCs [19-21] . In addition, after acting on DCs, type I interferon can promote the migration of DCs to lymph nodes by up-regulating the expression of chemokine receptors, thereby promoting the activation of T cells [22,23] .

Description

融合蛋白疫苗平台的构建与应用 技术领域
本发明属于基因工程和生物医学技术领域,具体涉及一种疫苗,例如包含含有干扰素-靶抗原-免疫球蛋白Fc区(抗体)为主要骨架的融合蛋白的疫苗。本发明的疫苗可以作为疫苗平台,用于预防乙肝病毒(HBV)感染、HPV、EBV、HIV、SARA-COV2、流感病毒感染和HPV、EBV相关肿瘤的发生以及治疗慢性乙型肝炎(chronic hepatitis B,CHB)感染、治疗HBV、HP、EBV相关肿瘤的用途。
背景技术
全球约有2.57亿慢性病毒感染者,每年约有8.87万人死于HBV所引起的终末期肝病,包括肝功能衰竭、肝硬化、肝细胞肝癌 [1-3]。肝硬化病人中大约有30%由HBV所引起,大约40%的肝细胞肝癌(HCC)由HBV所引起 [4]。乙型肝炎病毒感染依旧是全球重大公共健康问题。但是目前仍旧没有有效治疗慢性乙型肝炎的策略,现有的HBV治疗方式主要包括抗病毒药物(核苷/核苷酸类似物)和干扰素,它们虽然有一定的治疗效果疗效,但是通常不能诱导有效的免疫应答,从而无法彻底清除HBV感染;而且长期用药导致的副作用较大,抗病毒药物也会产生耐药性。慢性HBV感染是威胁人类身体健康的主要疾病之一,探索慢性乙型肝炎有效的免疫治疗策略迫在眉睫,研制慢性乙型肝炎的治疗性疫苗具有十分重要的社会意义和经济意义。
季节性流感每年会导致1-4百万人产生严重的疾病并且导致20-50万人死亡 [5]。疫苗途径是预防和控制流感的最佳方式,疫苗能够减少疾病的发生并且能够降低感染的严重性,特别是在幼儿和老年人这种有流感并发症的风险群体。即使当前批准的流感疫苗能够在健康的年轻成人体内产生良好的保护效果,但是依旧存在一些需要解决的问题。比如有些疫苗的产生途径依赖于鸡胚,如灭火的流感疫苗和减毒的流感疫苗,这些疫苗的一个缺点是如果流行的毒株是禽类起源的,同时疾病的流行会导致疫苗和鸡胚的需求增加,这会导致鸡胚的供应出现问题 [6]。另一个不利因素是这些疫苗的产生需要大量的时间。对于流感病毒来说老年人更容易产生严重的综合征,同时标准的疫苗对于老年人来说一般效果十分不理想,老年人对于免疫系统会随着年龄的增长而逐渐衰弱 [7]。鉴于当前流感疫苗所遇见的问题,针对于流感病毒的流行当前迫切需要一种有较强免疫原性,不依赖于鸡胚,可以快速产生的流感疫苗。
严重急性呼吸系统综合冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)是引起2019冠状病毒病(COVID)大流行的病原体,SARS-CoV-2引起的临床症状主要包括无症状感染、轻度流感样症状、肺炎和严重的急性呼吸窘迫综合征,在严重的情况下会引起感染患者的死亡。现在对于新型冠状病毒还没有特效药出现,疫苗是控制与终止新冠大流行的基本对策 [9]。另外,新冠病毒突变体的出现对现有的候选疫苗和疫情的控制都提出了新的挑战 [10],因此一种强效并且可以对新冠病毒突变体同样发挥作用的疫苗在当前疫情状况下是迫切需要的。
当把抗原与免疫球蛋白Fc区相连接时,抗原的半衰期会得到明显的延长,并且免疫球蛋白Fc区可以与抗原提呈细胞表面的Fc受体相结合从而促进抗原提呈细胞对抗原的加工与提成 [11-13]。I型干扰素作为一种抗病毒细胞因子有许多生物活性,其中一个就包含对免疫细胞的刺激作用 [14]。IFNα可以强有力的诱导人的DC细胞的分化与活化 [15]。I型干扰素作用于未成熟的DCs后,能够促进DCs细胞表面的MHC分子和共刺激分子的表达,如:MHC class I、CD80和CD86,进而增强DCs活化T细胞的能力 [16-18]。有报道指出,在牛痘病毒和淋巴细胞性脉络丛脑炎病毒(LCMV)感染后,I型干扰素能够促进DCs的抗原递呈能力 [19-21]。此外,I型干扰素作用于DCs后能够通过上调趋化因子受体的表达,促进DCs迁移到淋巴结,进而促进T细胞的激活 [22,23]。最近越来越多的研究表明I型干扰素可作为免疫佐剂来使用。Le Bon等人的研究表明当以弱的免疫原免疫小鼠时,I型干扰素在小鼠体内展现出了强劲的免疫佐剂作用诱导产生了长效抗体和免疫记忆 [24],作者也发现I型干扰素发挥作用的主要细胞类群为DC细胞。同时利用抗体,将疫苗靶向递送给DC,刺激DC活化和交叉递呈功能,将进一步增强疫苗的活性和效价。
本发明存在提供增强机体对病毒、细菌或肿瘤抗原的反应的疫苗平台的需要。
发明内容
疫苗是预防和控制重大突发传染病的有效方式,疫苗的形式有各种类型,其中重要的一类为蛋白亚单位疫苗。一般来说单纯的蛋白亚单位疫苗,其免疫原性一般较差,这往往限制了蛋白亚单位疫苗的使用。因此一种通用型蛋白亚单位疫苗平台是十分迫切需要的。依据免疫球蛋白Fc区域和I型干扰素对免疫系统的影响,发明人特提出干扰素α-病毒抗原、细菌或肿瘤-免疫球蛋白Fc区融合蛋白疫苗平台来增强机体对病毒、细菌或肿瘤抗原的反应。本发明提供了一种I型干扰素-蛋白抗原-免疫球蛋白Fc疫苗平台,其中I型干扰素可以作用于抗原提呈细胞使其成熟与迁移从而更好的发挥抗原 提呈与激活T细胞的作用,另一方面该疫苗平台的Fc部分可以与抗原提成细胞表面的Fc受体相结合从未增强抗原提成细胞对抗原的摄取从而进一步帮助抗原提呈细胞发挥作用。发明人提出融合Th细胞辅助表位,可以进一步提升I型干扰素-蛋白抗原-免疫球蛋白Fc疫苗的免疫应答效果,是该疫苗的重要组成成分。发明人提出可以利用anti-PD-L1等抗体替换Fc,将疫苗靶向递送给DC,刺激DC活化和交叉递呈功能,将进一步增强疫苗的活性和效价。本发明作为一种新型疫苗平台可以作为病毒感染、细菌感染或肿瘤等疾病的预防性和治疗性疫苗来使用。

方法:
6-8周小鼠分为4组,每组5只,分别通过滴鼻免疫的方式免疫10ug的IFNα-pan-RBD-Fc或者相同摩尔数的RBD、RBD-Fc、IFNα-RBD-Fc蛋白,剂量为10uL每只小鼠。采用两次免疫程序在第0天与14天免疫小鼠。在免疫后第28天收集小鼠鼻黏膜上清以及肺灌洗液,采用ELISA方法检测各组血清中SARS-CoV-2 RBD特异性抗体含量,采用SARS-CoV-2假病毒中和实验测血清和鼻粘膜上清的新冠假病毒中和实验。
免疫实验动物小鼠鼻黏膜上清和肺泡灌洗液获取:小鼠休眠处死后,取小鼠鼻黏膜,用组织匀浆破碎仪破碎。将匀浆后的液体13000rpm高速离心10分钟,取其上清即为鼻黏膜上清(NMDS)。小鼠肺部,用1ml注射器吸取约0.8ml的HBSS+100uMEDTA,注入气管插管,轻柔地反复吹吸三遍后,将液体吸出,收集到离心管里,重复该步骤三遍,最终大约能获得2ml的肺灌洗液。将小鼠肺灌洗液500g离心5分钟,上清即为小鼠肺灌洗液(BALF),沉淀为小鼠肺中有的淋巴细胞,可进行进一步分析。

Her2属于I型跨膜生长因子受体HER家族,由胞外配体结合结构域、跨膜结构域和胞内酪氨酸激酶结构域组成。一旦配体结合到胞外结构域,HER蛋白将二聚化并反式磷酸化其胞内结构域,磷酸化的酪氨酸残基可与多种胞内信号分子结合,激活下游信号通路,调控基因转录。被调控的基因多与细胞增殖、存活、分化、血管生成、侵袭和转移等过程有关。Her2蛋白的胞外段较大,有600多个氨基酸,可分为四个结构域,分别为结构域I、II、III、IV。目前批准的Trastuzumab主要结合在结构域IV, Pertuzumab主要结合在结构域II,正在开展临床试验的多肽类疫苗E75则靶向结构域III。说明不同的结构域中都具有一些重要的位点,可能介导抗肿瘤作用。为研究该疫苗平台用于肿瘤预防与治疗,该专利研究选取肿瘤抗原Her2作为靶点,构建IFN-Her2-Fc和IFN-Pan-Her2-Fc构建融合蛋白疫苗,分析体内抗肿瘤活性和疫苗免疫活性。
材料和方法:
材料:
BALB/c雌性小鼠(6-8周)购自北京维通利华生物技术有限公司;TUBO细胞来源于TCGA;其他材料同实施例3。
方法:
(1)融合蛋白设计、质粒构建构建和蛋白纯化方法如实施例1和2所示。
首先针对小鼠Her2胞外段的结构域III和IV构建表达质粒,(分别记作:IFNα-3-Fc、IFNα-pan-3-Fc、IFNα-pan-4-Fc和IFNα-4-Fc),在人293F细胞系中表达并纯化相关蛋白。利用SDS-PAGE和考马斯亮蓝染色对蛋白的大小和纯度进行鉴定。
(2)IFNα-3-Fc和IFNα-pan-3-Fc直接抗肿瘤活性分析
TUBO是来源于BALB-NeuT小鼠的乳腺癌细胞系,用于研究Her2阳性乳腺癌的生长和治疗。利用TUBO肿瘤检测蛋白中IFNα的抗肿瘤活性。构建TUBO乳腺癌模型小鼠,5*10 5TUBO细胞皮下接种于BALB/C小鼠,肿瘤大小在50-80mm 3给药治疗,每周一次,共治疗3次。给药剂量为IFNα-3-Fc是10ug/小鼠,其他药物等摩尔给药,CpG作为佐剂。测量肿瘤大小,绘制肿瘤生长曲线。
(3)分析IFNα和Pan对Her2疫苗免疫原性的提升
6-8周的BALB/C雌性小鼠皮下接种不含佐剂的HER2结构域V融合蛋白疫苗4-Fc、IFNα-4-Fc和IFNα-pan-4-Fc,每周1次,共接种3次。免疫剂量为IFNα-4-Fc 10ug/小鼠,其他蛋白等摩尔接种。在免疫接种后14天、21取静脉血,用ELISA方法检测Her2特异性IgG的抗体水平。
结果:
(1)如图23所示,Her2融合蛋白大小基本符合预期,纯度达到实验要求。IFNα-3-Fc(62.6kDa)、IFNα-pan-3-Fc(63.9kDa)、IFNα-pan-4-Fc(74.9kDa)和IFNα-4-Fc(73.6kDa)。非变形条件下,蛋白处于二聚体状态,符合Fc片段自动二聚化的特性。
(2)如图24所示,与对照组相比,肿瘤内注射Her2融合蛋白IFNα-pan-3-Fc和 IFNα-3-Fc显著抑制TUBO肿瘤的生长,且控制效果与IFNα-Fc组相当。说明蛋白疫苗中IFNα的活性良好,并没有出现空间位阻等因素影响其IFNα活性,可用于进一步探究其在抗肿瘤免疫中的功效和机制。
(3)如图25所示,与对照组相比,Her2融合蛋白疫苗免疫后14天和21天,4-Fc、IFNα-4-Fc和IFNα-pan-4-Fc均能诱导明显的Her2特异性IgG抗体反应;相比于4-Fc,IFNα-4-Fc和IFNα-pan-4-Fc诱导的抗体滴度有增加的趋势。而且,免疫后21天时,IFNα-pan-4-Fc诱导的抗体滴度显著高于4-Fc组。说明IFNα和pan的添加有助于增加4-Fc的免疫原性,诱导出更加强烈的抗原特异性抗体反应,因此IFN-Pan-HER2-Fc和IFN-Pan-HER2-Fc是有潜力的抗Her2阳性肿瘤的有效肿瘤疫苗。

(3)检测血清HA1抗体。抗原包被:将HA1(2μg/ml)包被液以每孔100ul的体系加入到Elisa板(Corning 9018)中,4℃包被过夜。用PBS洗一遍,260ul每孔。用5%的封闭液(5%FBS)100ul,37℃封闭两小时。用PBS稀释血清样品(1:10,1:100,1:1000,1:10000,1:100000…),每孔加100ul到封闭好的Elisa板中37℃孵育1小时。PBST洗5次,每次260ul,每孔加入100ul酶标二抗(enzyme-conjugated anti-mouse IgG-HRP 1:5000 diluted by PBS),37℃孵育1小时。用PBST洗五遍,每次260ul,加底物TMB 100ul/孔,室温避光孵育15分钟,等待底物显色。每孔加50ul终止液(2N H2SO4)终止显色,酶标仪读板,OD450-630。滴度计算方法,选取结果为阳性的最大稀释倍数,以该稀释倍数对应的OD值/Cutoff值(0.1)乘(X)稀释倍数,所得的值为该血清对应的抗体滴度。
(4)小鼠免疫42天后将小鼠麻醉通过滴鼻的方式对小鼠感染1000PFU A/PR8流感病毒,感染后的第三天起,每两天对小鼠进行一次观察并称量小鼠体重。
结果:
