Definitions
- the present invention provides a genetic construct for expressing a Strep-tag so that the Strep-tag can be expressed and/or secreted on the surface of an anti-cancer strain that can be targeted to the tumor site and stimulate immune activity, and thereby Anticancer adjuvants and tumor imaging aids that can be usefully used in the diagnosis and treatment of tumor cells together with anticancer substances or contrast agents that have been transformed to exhibit anticancer activity in themselves and are labeled with substances that react specifically with strep-tag. It's about.
- Cancer is a disease that ultimately threatens life as the proliferation of cells does not stop, burrows into surrounding tissues and destroys normal cells. As the human body's regulatory ability decreases due to aging, it becomes vulnerable to cancer. In the modern aging society, cancer has been the undisputed number one cause of death since 2007, exceeding twice the death rate from heart disease, which ranked second.
- the most effective response system to treat disease is to strengthen immunity, but since cancer cells are not foreign invaders, they evade the body's immune response. Certain viruses or bacteria infect cancer cells more than normal cells, and infected bacteria can become targets of attack by immune cells. Accordingly, anticancer treatment methods have been proposed that intentionally infect specific viruses or bacteria to stimulate the body's immune response to fight against cancer cells.
- infectious bacteria such as Shigella, Vibrio cholera, and pathogenic E. coli only penetrate the cells of the intestinal tract and do not reach the liver and spleen, which are important organs that trigger immune responses.
- Salmonella can invade the spleen and liver through lymph nodes and stimulate a systemic immune response. Specifically, Leschner et al. (J. Mol.
- Salmonella is a representative bacteria that causes food poisoning, and if it infects tissues other than tumors, it can cause sepsis due to abnormal host response, which can be life-threatening.
- attenuated Salmonella not only has low survival and immune-inducing ability, but also has the risk of converting the attenuated strain to wild-type Salmonella due to mutation and causing sepsis, so additional devices are needed for safety.
- Registered Patent No. 10-0852687 discloses a Salmonella strain expressing tumor necrosis factor alpha by transducing a tumor necrosis factor alpha protein vector into an attenuated Salmonella strain and an anti-cancer treatment composition containing the same
- Registered Patent No. 10 No. -1750007 published a treatment for solid tumors using an attenuated Salmonella strain in which L-asparaginase can be selectively expressed at the tumor site.
- the Salmonella strains have additionally supplemented their anticancer activity by expressing anticancer substances, there is still a risk that the attenuated strain will convert to wild type Salmonella and cause sepsis.
- the Salmonella strain when expressing an anti-cancer substance in the body, the Salmonella strain itself may be killed by the physiological activity of the anti-cancer substance. Therefore, in order to simultaneously express the anti-cancer effect of the anti-cancer substance and Salmonella, the Salmonella strain must survive stably after being targeted to the tumor site. It must be able to continuously express and secrete anti-cancer substances while doing so.
- Strep-tag is a synthetic peptide consisting of eight amino acids that exhibits strong binding to avidin, streptavidin, or strep-tactin, a processed strepavidin. Therefore, fusion to the N- or C-terminus of the recombinant protein is possible.
- Using specific interactions such as strep-tag and strep-tactin has the advantage of being able to separate proteins containing strep-tag from cell lysate at once, making it useful for detection or purification of specific proteins. It is being used extensively. However, there has been no report yet on an anticancer strain that expresses strep-tag so that the specific binding of strep-tag can be used in the body.

- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of providing information for cancer diagnosis using the tumor imaging adjuvant.
- the present invention to achieve the above-mentioned object relates to a genetic construct characterized in that the anti-sigma factor flgM gene and the gene encoding strep-tag are linked to encode a fusion protein of flgM and strep-tag.
- the fusion protein of flgM and strep-tag (hereinafter referred to as "flgM-Strep-tag”) expressed by the gene construct of the present invention is capable of binding to avidin or streptavidin like Strep-tag, thereby forming a strep-tag. and flgM-Strep-tag were able to demonstrate bioequivalence.
- a particular advantage of the Strep-tag is its small size and almost biochemical inertness. Therefore, unlike strains transformed to express biochemically active substances whose viability is reduced due to the effects of enrichment due to expression of the substance, expression of Strep-tag does not threaten the survival of the strain, allowing stable expression. do.

- the strain of the present invention may be an attenuated Salmonella strain.
- Salmonella strains can penetrate the liver and spleen and stimulate systemic immune responses, so they have superior immune-anticancer activity.
- “Attenuated” refers to artificially weakening the toxicity of a living pathogen. It means mutating the genes involved in the essential metabolism of the pathogen so that it cannot cause disease in the body and only stimulates the immune system to induce immunity.

- a single colon of the attenuated Salmonella strain expressing the flgM-Strep-tag fusion protein prepared in 1) above was placed in 20 mL LB amp liquid medium and cultured at 37°C for 16 hours. 200 ⁇ l of the above culture was diluted in 20 mL of fresh LB amp liquid medium, and then cultured for an additional 2 hours at 37°C until the OD 600 was 0.4 to 0.6. Afterwards, 200 ⁇ l of arabinose 20% (w/v) was added to make the final concentration 0.2%, and then cultured at 37 degrees for 6 hours. The same amount of PBS was added to the control group.
- a nanoparticle solution was prepared by suspending 0.25 g of straptavidin-coated nanoparticles with a diameter of 200 nm (provided by Professor Jinsil Choi of Hanbat National University) in 1 mL of PBS.
- Figure 4 is a captured SEM image, confirming that nanoparticles were attached to the surface of bacteria in the form of clusters.
- a Strep-tag is expressed on the surface of the bacteria
- the nanoparticles are attached to the surface of the strain by binding between the strep-tag expressed on the surface and the strepavidin of the nanoparticle
- the strep-tag secreted from the strain acts as a crosslinker. It is thought that this is because it acts to cause the formation of clusters of nanoparticles coated with straptavidin.
- the control group no nanoparticles were found attached to the surface of Salmonella (data not shown).
- strep-tag was further confirmed by observing the fluorescence signal of Cy5 using Streptavidin and flamma 648 (BioActs) as dyes.
- the supernatant was removed by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 10 minutes after 1 hour, and then resuspended in 200 ⁇ l of mobility medium and photographed under a fluorescence microscope.
- Figure 5A shows a bright field microscope image and a fluorescence image
- B is a histogram in which RGB values are changed to gray scale and the average value of gray level intensity is measured and compared according to the presence or absence of induction by arabinose.
- FIG 5 (A) when arabinose was not added, Cy5 fluorescence was hardly observed, but when the expression of strep-tag was induced by arabinose, Cy5 fluorescence was strongly observed, indicating that Salmonella strains. It was confirmed that strep-tag was expressed.
- the histogram in (B) also clearly shows that when the expression of strep-tag is induced by arabinose, the gray level intensity is observed in a brighter area than in the group to which arabinose was not added.
- a soft agar tryptone plate was used (per liter: 10g Bacto tryptone (BD: 211705), 5g NaCl (Biosesang S1009), and 3g Bacto agar (BD: 214010)).
- One colony of the Salmonella strain (2) transformed with the -GGSS-streptag plasmid was transplanted at a distance from each other using a sterilized toothpick. Afterwards, mobility was confirmed by culturing at 37°C for 5 hours.
- Figure 6 shows the results, showing that the mobility of Salmonella strains is lost due to expression of the flgM-Strep-tag fusion protein.
