Definitions
- the disclosure belongs to the technical field of biopharmaceuticals, and in particular relates to a method for extracting plasmid DNA from bacteria.
- Gene therapy is to introduce foreign genes into target cells, express genes in patient cells to treat or prevent diseases, and its ultimate goal is to cure genetic and acquired diseases by adding, correcting or replacing genes.
- gene therapy vectors There are two main types of gene therapy vectors to achieve these goals, namely viral vectors based on inactivated viruses and non-viral vectors based on plasmid DNA.
- DNA vaccine also known as nucleic acid vaccine or gene vaccine, refers to the direct injection of a recombinant eukaryotic expression vector encoding a certain protein antigen into the body, so that the foreign gene is expressed in vivo, and the antigen produced activates the immune system of the body, thereby inducing specific Sexual humoral and cellular immune responses.
- DNA vaccine is called the "third generation vaccine" after inactivated vaccine, attenuated vaccine and subunit vaccine, and has broad development prospects, and plasmid is a common carrier of DNA vaccine. Therefore, the large-scale production technology of plasmids is very important for the development of gene therapy and DNA vaccines.

近年来,由于基因治疗和DNA疫苗临床上的成功,人们对工业化规模的质粒发酵生产需求已经非常迫切。基因治疗是将外源基因导入靶细胞,在患者细胞中表达基因来治疗或预防疾病,其最终目标是通过添加、纠正或替换基因来治愈遗传和后天疾病。实现这些目标的基因治疗载体主要有两种,即以灭活病毒为基础的病毒载体和以质粒DNA为基础的非病毒载体。DNA疫苗又称核酸疫苗或基因疫苗,是指将编码某种蛋白质抗原的重组真核表达载体直接注射到体内,使外源基因在活体内表达,产生的抗原激活机体的免疫系统,从而诱导特异性的体液免疫和细胞免疫应答。DNA疫苗被称为继灭活疫苗、弱毒疫苗和亚单位疫苗之后的“第三代疫苗”,具有广阔的发展前景,而质粒为DNA疫苗的常用载体。所以质粒的大规模生产技术对于基因治疗和DNA疫苗的发展至关重要。
当前规模化质粒的生产技术主要包括以下几道工序:载体构建、细菌发酵、菌体裂解、固液分离及澄清、质粒纯化。虽然目前的质粒生产工艺可以生产出符合药学质量标准的质粒,满足临床要求,但在这些工艺中还存在一些难以克服的瓶颈。如产量规模化(千克级)较难,载体拷贝数、稳定性问题,裂解过程中导致DNA变性、HCD残留去除,固液分离较难,内毒素残留等难题。
用于生物制药的质粒DNA主要在大肠杆菌中生产,碱裂解法是一种应用最为广泛的制备质粒DNA的方法,利用碱性条件将细胞裂解,同时染色体DNA发生不可逆变性,而质粒DNA在pH恢复中性时可复性的原理,将质粒与染色体DNA分离。质粒制备的第一步也是最关键的一步是细胞裂解,如何将细胞彻底 裂解,染色体DNA完全共沉淀,去除大部分的RNA成为细胞裂解的核心问题。目前工业规模的质粒提取工艺存在的主要问题有:1、碱裂解无自动化设备或设备能力满足不了充分混合的要求;2、使用大量有机溶剂及酸液,这在大规模工业化生产中增加安全风险及对厂房设备要求较高;3、使用中和液(溶液Ⅲ)混合后,无自动化的混合设备或混合设备满足不了均匀低剪切的混合要求;4、中和混合液固液分离生产成本较高;5、宿主DNA残留较高;6、RNA去除率较低,影响下游纯化;7、重复用管路设备清洗困难,不利于CIP清洗,而一次性耗材设备成本较高。
中国专利CN111808716A公开了一种质粒提取装置,包括裂解容器、沉淀容器、洗脱液容器、收集容器和层析柱,所述裂解容器与沉淀容器之间通过第一连接管连通,所述沉淀容器与层析柱之间通过第二连接管连通,所述洗脱液容器与层析柱之间通过第三连接管连通,所述第一连接管、第二连接管和第三连接管上均设置有阀门,所述收集容器设置在层析柱的下方,所述层析柱连接有振动机构。上述技术方案采取了振动式结构,加工过程不连续,需要进一步提升加工效率,并且该种方式存在宿主DNA残留较高的问题,还需要进一步改进。
虽然我们为了解决目前大规模生产质粒DNA的方法存在的缺陷,先前研发了一种通过混合腔震荡的方式进行裂解、中和提取细菌中质粒DNA的方法(参见:200610114061.6,一种连续大量提取质粒的方法),但是其不容易放大,提取的质粒DNA的效率较低;为解决这一问题,我们又研发了通过气泡混合器提取质粒DNA的装置(参见:202011120617.9,用于提取细菌中质粒DNA的气泡发生装置),其使菌液与裂解液能均一且充分混合,气泡混合有效降低剪切力,有效提高收率与质量,但是其仍存在不太容易放大的问题,需要根据规模定制不同大小的气泡混合器,摸索通气量,流速等放大条件。
因此,我们又公开设计了一种新的质粒DNA的提取方法,除了能有效控制混合过程剪切力,更容易实现放大工艺,相比通过气泡混合器(气泡发生装置)的方式,能有效提高裂解及中和过程的混合效率,增加收率;通过易控地调节混合参数,能有效控制剪切力,提高质粒质量。并且此工艺所用的装置原理简单,可精准调控,因此缩短放大条件摸索的时间,进一步提高工作效率,会大大促进连续地、大规模提取质粒DNA相关研究的发展,具有重要意义。

本公开所用装置:
如图1所示,主要包括:第一混合组件1、第二混合组件2和过滤组件4。两混合组件按功能区分,第一混合组件1可为裂解混合组件,第二混合组件2为中和混合组件。
优选地,第一混合组件1与第二混合组件2串联连接;两混合组件之间还串接有裂解螺旋管3。具体地,溶液Ⅰ与含质粒DNA的菌体配比后形成重悬菌液5,通过第一输送泵控制流量与流速,向第一混合组件1即裂解混合泵输送。具体实施时,输送管路上还串接有一个第一三通接头(即“Y”形连接器,重悬菌液与溶液Ⅱ6分别通过第一输送泵、第二输送泵送至第一三通接头处,再通入第一混合组件1混合,得到菌体混合液。
第一混合组件1的出液端连接裂解螺旋管3的进液端;裂解螺旋管3的出液端连接第二混合组件2的进液端。其中,裂解螺旋管3与第二混合组件2之间的管路上设有一个进液口,具体为串接管路中的第二三通接头,第二三通接头的一端还通过第三输送泵连接溶液Ⅲ7的容器。
本实施例所用的第一混合组件1和第二混合组件2可为搅拌器或混合泵,具体地可分别为第一混合泵和第二混合泵,包括不限于搅拌泵、乳化泵和离心泵等, 其中搅拌泵的搅拌桨可选用桨式搅拌器、推进式搅拌器、涡轮式搅拌器、锚式搅拌器、框式搅拌器、螺旋式搅拌器;乳化泵的转子和定子包括但不限于:粗齿、中齿、细齿。通过一定规则形状的泵头,实现了溶液的充分混合,且剪切力较低,保证染色体DNA不发生大量断裂,且可以在密闭环境下进行,没有污染。进一步由于第一混合组件1用于裂解反应,优选第一混合组件1结构选为搅拌式或乳化式其中一种,具体可选取乳化泵,其叶片(或叶轮)结构如图2中所示(还可为现有技术中的其他乳化泵的形式,此处仅以图2示之);
第二混合组件2用于中和反应,可选取离心式结构,如图3、4所示,第二混合组件2主要包括主轴201、泵座202、密封圈203、叶轮204、泵壳205。流体输送路线如图3中箭头所示方向,流体通过泵壳205中心处的进液端进入泵内部,经过离心混合后可通过泵壳205侧向设置的出液端流出,出液端内部管路与泵内腔相切。其中主轴201一端连接外部电机的输出端,另一端通过密封装置穿过泵座202的中心处,并与叶轮204固定连接,泵座202与泵壳205接触区域加工有环形槽,用于安装密封圈203。叶轮204优选为半闭式叶轮;但是传统的叶轮存在较大缺点,即剪切力比较大,故本实施例中,叶轮204如图5、6所示设计,包括后盖板2041。后盖板2041上均匀分布有多个导流柱2042,共计32根,分三层环绕中心处,且导流柱2042垂直于后盖板2041的表面。进一步,为了更好的降低产生的剪切力,导流柱2042的形状可为圆柱、圆台或扇形台的一种或多种组合,优选为圆柱。导流柱2042的直径范围为0.5mm-40mm;经检验,优选直径为2mm-10mm时可获得较佳的效果。通过优化设计可以减小剪切力,防止宿主DNA污染产品,使得裂解中和可以自动化进行。经过实验可知第二混合组件2通过设定一定转速范围,控制不同规模的混合效果及剪切力的大小,结合第一混合组件1可实现不同规模的菌液自动裂解、中和,从而实现连续化、大规模生产。
在具体实施例中,第一混合组件1的结构还可优选地与第二混合组件1的结构相同。

上述实施例中的提取装置均可用于以下实施例,如有不同具体会示出,具体从细菌中提取质粒DNA的方法如下:
实施例1 50L发酵规模处理
实施例1的用于提取细菌中质粒DNA的装置,泵头直径为10cm,两个泵的泵头叶轮均如附图6所示,导流柱直径为5mm。
(1)将含有质粒A的大肠杆菌高密度发酵菌液,分光光度计测定OD600为84.2,取该发酵液23.3L离心,收获菌体3684g,湿重为15.8%。将3684g的细胞重悬于由25mM Tris-HCl和10mM EDTA-2Na构成的pH为8.0重悬液(溶液I)中,得重悬菌液,体积为25.8L(菌体与溶液I的质量体积比为1:7(kg:L))。
(2)将重悬菌液以140ml/min的速度泵送至“Y”形连接器的一侧,同时将由0.2M NaOH和1%SDS构成的裂解溶液(溶液II)以140ml/min的速度泵送至“Y”形连接器的另一侧。将“Y”形连接器接入裂解混合泵(第一混合泵),调节转速为200rpm,开始裂解混合,得到菌体混合液。其中,溶液I与溶液II的体积比为1:1,其中,裂解混合泵的泵腔体积为与单个混合泵额定每分钟进料体积的比值1:3。
(3)菌体混合液从第一混合组件(裂解混合泵)中泵出后,进入裂解螺旋管,裂解螺旋管内径为1.9cm,长度为5m,在裂解螺旋管中裂解时间为5min,得到裂解液。
(4)裂解后的裂解液进入另一“Y”形连接器,连接器另一端由1M KAc和7M NH4Ac组成的溶液III(预冷2-8℃)以280ml/min的速度进入,通过“Y”形连接器进入中和混合泵(第二混合组件),混合泵设置转速250rpm。裂解液和溶液III的体积比为1:1。其中,中和混合泵叶轮上的导流柱的直径为5mm,导流柱的形状为圆柱,中和混合泵的泵头直径为8.5cm;其中,中和混合泵的泵腔体积为与单个混合泵额定每分钟进料体积的比值1:4。
(5)中和完成后,收集中和反应液,以8000g离心力离心20min,收集到上清液,可进行下一步纯化。
结果检测:
重悬菌液测得质粒浓度为545mg/L(QIAGEN的质粒小提试剂盒测得),质粒总量为14.06g。
中和后得到中和反应液100L,离心得到上清液共82L,以HPLC定量法测得上清液质粒浓度为121.8mg/L(HPLC机型:Waters 2695;色谱柱型号:TOSOH,Tskgel DNA-NPR 4.6mm*7.5cm 2.5um,下述实施例中的HPLC测定条件相同),裂解收率71%。
电泳结果如图7所示,从图7可以看出通过本申请的方法裂解后的上清中质粒纯度较高,RNA及宿主DNA较少。
通过HPLC试验以及药典方法检测上述方法制得的质粒DNA,结果表明质粒为目的质粒,且纯度较高,超螺旋比例大于95%,开环比例较少。
实施例2
与实施例1不同的是,第一混合泵的转速为400rpm,第二混合泵的转速为500rpm。导流柱为圆柱,其直径为1mm。其余皆相同。
然后中和后的中和反应液进行琼脂糖核酸电泳,电泳图如图12所示。可以看出实施例2裂解上清中宿主DNA和RNA均高于实施例1裂解上清,转速偏高时,杂质会较多。
实施例3
与实施例1不同的是,菌体重悬液为2.5L,第一混合泵的转速为100rpm,第二混合泵的转速为50rpm,导流柱为圆柱,其直径为1mm。其余皆相同。
通过HPLC检测中和后得到中和反应液10L,离心得到上清液共7.8L,测得 上清液质粒浓度为96mg/L(HPLC测定),裂解收率55.0%。
电泳图如图12所示,由图12可以看出混合泵转速较低时会导致混合和中和不充分,质粒DNA收率较实施例1低。
实施例4
与实施例1不同的是,本实施例中导流柱2042为变截面设计,目的是为了进一步降低剪切了对中和过程的影响,通过流体运动分析,如图13中箭头所示,单根导流柱转动中,流体相对主体的流速分布情况;即从中间层向两边减小,原因分析为流体上下两侧分别受到泵壳即泵座的粘滞阻力,速度呈梯度分布,由此为了保持单根导流柱对流体中遗传物质产生的剪切力较为一致,故将其设计为变截面结构。具体地,以实施例1中圆柱体为例,单根导流柱的截面从泵壳一侧至泵座一侧依次为先增加后减小,形成“纺锤形”结构,具体参阅图13。上述设计,虽然导流柱中心处相对速度较大,冲击较强,但是结合较大曲率半径及受力面积,可以有效减少对质粒的剪切作用,一定程度上提升了质粒产率。
实施例5
同实施例1,检测宿主DNA残留(HCD)结果为5.87μg/mg(E.coli残留DNA检测试剂盒)。如表1所示,通过HPLC试验以及药典方法检测质粒DNA,结果表明质粒为目的质粒,且纯度较高,超螺旋比例为95.92%,开环比例较少。

离心后 | ND | 1.15 | 95.92 | ND | 2.93 |
备注:“ND”表示未检出。杂质1和杂质2为质粒的未知状态。
实施例6
同实施例2,进一步检测宿主DNA残留(HCD)结果为18.7μg/mg(E.coli残留DNA检测试剂盒)。
实施例7
与实施例1不同的是,本实施例中裂解中和后,采用滤袋过滤和深层过滤的方式进行固液分离。目的是提高放大生产过程中的处理量和提高生产效率,同时减少生产上连续式离心机的机械剪切作用,减少杂质产生和目的质粒被破坏。采用过滤面积为0.5m
2,孔径大小分别为100μm和200μm聚丙烯材质的滤袋进行 初级过滤,之后采用过滤孔径为0.2-2μm,材质为纤维素和无机助滤剂复合材质的深层过滤进行二级过滤。初级过滤后杂质去除率可达86.2%,过滤前后的浊度分别为43NTU和10.7NTU,且过滤后质粒纯度未发生明显改变。二级过滤后,滤液更加澄清,浊度可降低至3NTU以下,可直接进行下游纯化。如表2所示,通过HPLC检测质粒DNA,结果表明质粒为目的质粒,且纯度较高,过滤前,超螺旋比例达96.08%,100μm滤袋过滤后,超螺旋比例97.6%,200μm滤袋过滤后,超螺旋比例97.55%。
表2为100μm和200μm滤袋过滤前后清液中质粒纯度HPLC检测结果
备注:“ND”表示未检出。HPLC进样前对均会对样品进行离心,取上清液进样。
对比例1 气泡混合器处理
与实施例1不同的是,对比例1的中和步骤不使用泵,在气泡混合器中进行,具体步骤如下:
(1)将含有质粒A的大肠杆菌高密度发酵菌液,分光光度计测定OD600为78.9。取该发酵液23.5L离心,收获菌体3603g,湿重为15.3%。将3603g的细胞重悬于由25mM Tris-HCl和10mM EDTA-2Na构成的pH为8.0重悬液(溶液I)中,得重悬菌液,体积为25.2L(菌体与溶液I的质量体积比为1:7)。
(2)将重悬菌液与以140ml/min的速度泵送至“Y”形连接器的一侧,同时将由0.2M NaOH和1%SDS构成的裂解溶液(溶液II)以140ml/min的速度泵送至“Y”形连接器的另一侧。将“Y”形连接器接入裂解混合泵(第一混合泵),调节转速为200rpm,开始裂解混合,得到菌体混合液。其中,溶液I与溶液II的体积比为1:1。
(3)菌体混合液从裂解混合泵中泵出后,进入裂解螺旋管,裂解螺旋管内径为1.9cm,长度为5m,在裂解螺旋管中裂解时间为5min,得到裂解液。
(4)裂解后的裂解液进入另一“Y”形连接器,连接器另一端由1M KAc和7M NH
4Ac组成的溶液III(预冷2-8℃)以280ml/min的速度进入,通过“Y”形 连接器进入气泡混合器,气泡混合器设置压缩空气流速为1.2L/min。裂解液和溶液III的体积比为1:1。
(5)中和完成后,收集中和反应液,以8000g离心力离心20min,收集到对比上清液,可进行下一步纯化。
通过酶标仪检测,结果表明,重悬菌液测得质粒浓度为570mg/L(通过QIAGEN的质粒小提试剂盒计算得出),质粒总量为14.36g。
中和后得到中和反应液101L,离心得到上清液共79.3L,测得对比上清液质粒浓度为116.3mg/L(HPLC测定),裂解收率64.2%,低于实施例1。
电泳结果如图8所示,从图8可以看出本对比例中和过程使用气泡发生器的方法得到质粒DNA与实施例1的方法得到的质粒DNA相比,质粒浓度相当,但是其宿主RNA较多,说明本申请的制备方法更优,并且更容易放大,操作简单。
对比例2
与实施例1不同的是,该实施例中第二混合泵所用离心泵头叶轮如图9所示,其余皆相同。
通过酶标仪检测:
中和后得到中和反应液80L,离心得到上清液共66L,测得上清液质粒浓度为106.6mg/L(HPLC测定),裂解收率64.5%。裂解收率低于实施例1。
对比例3
与实施例1不同的是,该实施例中第二混合泵所用离心泵头叶轮如图10所示,其余设置均相同。
电泳图如图11所示,从图11可以看出,与实施例1结果相比,使用图10所示泵头,裂解上清中宿主DNA和RNA含量均较多,不利于质粒纯化。
基于上述实施例结果可知,本公开的提取装置和提取方法,最终产品裂解时混合充分且混合时间较短,中和时条件温和均一,裂解中和后,宿主DNA和RNA残留均低于起泡混合器的效果,产品质量较好,且速度适中时提取的质粒DNA杂质少,收率高。
本公开在质粒生产过程中的碱裂解和中和环节创新性的采用的混合组件(可为泵)的形式,使得裂解和中和过程在密闭的环境中,降低污染环境的几率,使 用后方便进行CIP和SIP,且实现了连续的加工,提升了生产效率,且成本低廉,不需要专业的定制化、价格高昂的设备,易于在生产中放大,生产成本低;裂解时混合充分且混合时间较短,中和时条件温和均一,裂解中和后,宿主DNA和RNA残留均低于起泡混合器的效果,产品质量好;同时优化了泵腔的大小,使得裂解中和的时间和剪切力适合产品生产,同时也方便生产规模的放大,相较于目前主流的气泡混合器Airmix的生产体系来讲,比较容易放大,不需要根据规模定制不同大小的气泡混合器,缩短了放大条件摸索的时间,提高工作效率。
(2)该方法所用到的设备简单,操作方便,使用的两台混合组件既可以使菌液和裂解液的充分混合又可以保证和中和液温和地混合中和,避免使用复杂的低剪切中和设备,裂解后的质粒超螺旋比例较高,宿主DNA、RNA残留较少[;此外,使用复杂的多级的膜过滤系统,裂解后也不需要过夜沉淀等步骤,设备可直接用CIP清洗,符合药物生产的生产规范,同时节省了工艺时间,降低成本;不使用复杂的多级的膜过滤系统,裂解后也不需要过夜沉淀等步骤,裂解后的质粒超螺旋比例较高,宿主DNA、RNA残留较少,设备可直接用CIP清洗,符合药物生产的生产规范,同时节省了工艺时间,降低成本,操作方便,不需要专业的定制化、价格高昂的设备,易于在生产中放大,生产成本低。
(3)过程中不添加高风险的动物来源成分,如RNase、溶菌酶、蛋白酶K等,生产工艺不使用有毒害的有机溶剂如异丙醇、酚、无水乙醇和其他诱变剂等,所用的试剂可以使用一般的试剂或满足药用级别,不使用酸液中和,对厂房设备要求较低,适合大规模生产。
(4)通过优化泵腔的大小,结合调整泵腔和流速的比例,使得裂解中和的时间和剪切力适合产品生产,同时也方便生产规模的放大;对混合泵头的性状尺寸进行优化,使用3D打印技术,对泵头进行设计和定制在保证混合效果的前提下,降低了剪切力,防止宿主DNA污染产品,使得裂解中和可以自动化进行。
以上所述仅为本公开的较佳实施例而已,并不用以限制本公开,凡在本公开的精神和原则之内,所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包含在本公开的保护范围之内。
