Description

一种提高腺相关病毒产量的核酸构建体及其构建方法 技术领域
本发明涉及基因转移载体技术领域,特别是涉及一种提高腺相关病毒产量的核酸构建体及其构建方法。
背景技术
重组腺相关病毒(rAAV)是一种在基础研究和临床基因治疗中被广泛应用的基因转移载体。由于其安全性好、宿主细胞范围广、免疫原性低、在体内表达外源基因时间长等特点,rAAV被视为最有前途的基因转移载体之一,在世界范围内的基因治疗和疫苗研究中得到广泛应用。近年来,越来越多的研究者使用rAAV进行大型动物研究和人类临床试验。AAV基因组包含三个核心元件:ITR序列、非结构蛋白Rep、结构蛋白Cap。
昆虫杆状病毒系统是生产重组蛋白的常用手段,相比于传统三质粒瞬转生产的方式,昆虫细胞具有培养密度高、可无血清悬浮培养、易于放大规模等优点,且杆状病毒感染细胞的生产方式更具有批次稳定性。尽管从2002年开始,研究者们开始将其用于rAAV的生产,但是昆虫细胞中由于各种原因,例如Cap、Rep和AAV载体基因组DNA的比例不容易达到理想比例,AAV的包装效率不高,而且传统的方法包装完成的重组AAV载体空壳率较高(11%-34%)(Benskeyetal.2016)。而空壳AAV是制备临床级AAV载体中必须要去除的杂质,因为空壳AAV和携带目的基因的AAV理化性质非常接近,纯化难度很高。

以下实施例以EGFP为外源目的基因为例。
实施例1重组杆状病毒穿梭载体的构建及重组杆状病毒的获得
确定相关基因:Cap和Rep蛋白的基因均来源于AAV2基因组(GenBank:AF043303.1),根据核糖体泄露扫描机制参考文献(Smith RH,Levy JR,Kotin RM:A simplified baculovirus-AAV expression vector system coupled with one-step affinity purification yields high-titer rAAV stocks from insect cells.Mol Ther 2009,17(11):1888-1896.)对其中碱基进行点突变;Acie01(GenBank:NC_001623.1),杆状病毒重组同源区hr1(GenBank:M14313.1)。
委托基因公司分别合成相应序列:Cap基因序列(核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:4),Rep基因序列(核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:5),hr1和p6.9、p10启动子组合(hr1p6.9p10,核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:6),pH启动子和Acie01组合(pH-Acie01,核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:7)。使用本领域熟知的同源重组方法将上述序列以及pAAV-EGFP载体(康霖生物科技(杭州)有限公司改造)中的ITR-CMV-EGFP序列克隆至pFastBacdual(Invitrogen)上,测序鉴定后分别得到pFBd-Cap-ITR-Rep(图1和图2,核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:8)和pFBd-IE-hr1Cap-ITR-Rep(图3和图4,核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:9)两个重组杆状病毒穿梭载体。

将两个重组载体分别转化至DH10Bac感受态细胞(Invitrogen),进行蓝白斑筛选,挑取白色阳性克隆培养,使用PureLink TM HiPure Plasmid DNA Purification Kits(Invitrogen)提取杆状病毒质粒(Bacmid)。将两种Bacmid分别转染至贴壁SF9细胞(Gbico),3d后收获初代重组杆状病毒,并进行扩增至P2代。最终得到P2代重组杆状病毒分别命名为BV-Cap-ITR-Rep和BV-IE-hr1Cap-ITR-Rep,使用TCID50法分别测定病毒滴度。此部分内容具体参照Bac to Bac Expression System操作手册(Invitrogen)。
实施例2 rAAV2的包装及滴度测定
将两种P2代重组杆状病毒分别以MOI=0.1感染25mL悬浮SF9细胞(密度3.0E+06cell/mL),4d后收获细胞,使用5mL TNT裂解液(20mM Tris–HCl(pH 7.5),150mM NaCl,1%Triton X-100,10mmol/l MgCl 2)室温孵育1h裂解细胞。以50U/mL终浓度加入核酸酶37℃消化2h,取样使用蛋白酶K(天根)56℃消化外壳1h,qPCR测定滴度,检测步骤如下:
定量PCR使用的标准品为Pvu Ⅰ-HF(NEB)单酶切线性化的pAAV-EGFP质粒,(质粒序列如以下SEQ ID NO:22所示)。
SEQ ID NO.22:
Figure PCTCN2021121350-appb-000047
Figure PCTCN2021121350-appb-000048
Figure PCTCN2021121350-appb-000049
定量PCR使用的引物序列为:
ITR Forward primer 5’-GGAACCCCTAGTGATGGAGTT-3’(SEQ ID NO:2)
ITR Reverse primer 5’-CGGCCTCAGTGAGCGA-3’(SEQ ID NO:3)
定量PCR运行程序为:95℃ 60s,(95℃ 15s,60℃ 30s,40cycles)。
根据定量PCR所得Ct值和标准品浓度绘制标准品曲线后,换算出样品滴度。计算出BV-Cap-ITR-Rep和BV-IE-hr1Cap-ITR-Rep包装的rAAV产量分别为2.39E+04VG/cell(相当于7.18E+10VG/mL)和8.67E+05VG/cell(相当于2.60E+12VG/mL)。
实施例3细胞感染过程中EGFP的表达和细胞裂解液中Cap蛋白表达量比较
在感染48h、72h、96h后分别于倒置荧光显微镜下观察被两种杆状病毒感染的细胞,优化后的重组杆状病毒可大幅度降低目的基因(本实施例中目的基因为EGFP)的表达(图5)。目的基因(EGFP)表达量的减少似乎减弱了对细胞内rAAV包装的干扰,使其更有利于rAAV包装相关的结构与功能蛋白的表达。
对等量细胞裂解液使用Cap蛋白抗体(Progen)进行WB检测(图6)。结果表明优化后的重组杆状病毒感染细胞后,细胞内的Cap蛋白表达水平显著提高。
实施例4纯化后rAAV2电镜检测,感染性测定
使用POROS TM CaptureSelect TM亲和层析填料(Thermo)纯化细胞裂解液,用荧光定量PCR方法测定滴度(测定方法同实施例2),并对纯化后的rAAV2进行负染色处理,透射式电子显微镜下观察(图7)。包装了基因组的rAAV2呈实心颗粒,无核酸的缺陷rAAV颗粒中间被染成深色。总体来看形态完好,与传统方法(Benskeyetal.2016)相比空壳率显著降低(~3%),表明采用优化后的杆状病毒载体构建体明显降低了包装产物中空壳病毒的比例,显著减少了下游的空壳病毒去除等步骤的压力。
将纯化的rAAV2梯度稀释,分别以MOI=10000、2000、400、80感染培养的293T细胞(48孔板,5.0E+04cells/well)。感染2天后,用荧光显微镜观察EGFP的表达。实验结果 表明,该系统制备出的rAAV2具有较高的体外感染活性(图8)。
以上的实施例是为了说明本发明公开的实施方案,并不能理解为对本发明的限制。此外,本文所列出的各种修改以及发明中方法的变化,在不脱离本发明的范围和精神的前提下对本领域内的技术人员来说是显而易见的。虽然已结合本发明的多种具体优选实施例对本发明进行了具体的描述,但应当理解,本发明不应仅限于这些具体实施例。事实上,各种如上所述的对本领域内的技术人员来说显而易见的修改来获取发明都应包括在本发明的范围内。
