Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technical field of immunology, and specifically to antigen polypeptides for detecting ADAP autoantibodies and their applications.
  • AD Alzheimer's disease
  • a ⁇ amyloid- ⁇
  • Microglia are homologous to peripheral macrophages and retain strong immune response functions. Studies have shown that autoantibodies to some endogenous protein molecules can activate the phagocytic function of microglia.
  • Some well-known foreign pharmaceutical companies have carried out clinical research on vaccines and therapeutic monoclonal antibodies related to AD (such as Roche's A ⁇ monoclonal antibody crenezumab, etc.). However, because the focus is on A ⁇ itself, the target selection is narrow, and the actual effect is not satisfactory. As expected.
  • the present invention involves 10 Alzheimer’s Disease Associated Protein (ADAP) autoantibodies (SORL1, TMEM163, SPRED2, CLU, PTK2B, TSPAN14, FERMT2, ADAM10, TREM2, VKORC1):
  • ADAP Alzheimer’s Disease Associated Protein
  • Sortilin is a protein encoded by the SORT1 gene on chromosome 1 in humans. This protein is a type I membrane glycoprotein in the vacuolar protein sorting 10 protein (Vps10) family of sorting receptors. SORL1 is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues but is most abundant in the central nervous system. At the cellular level, SORL1 plays a role in protein transport between the Golgi apparatus, endosomes, lysosomes, and the plasma membrane.
  • Vps10 vacuolar protein sorting 10 protein
  • SORL1 This molecular function enables SORL1 to participate in a variety of biological processes, including transporting GLUT4 to the plasma membrane of adipose and skeletal muscle cells in response to insulin; mediating the interaction between proNGF and the p75NTR:sortilin complex by acting as a coreceptor; Sends cell death signal; finely regulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) necessary for neuronal survival.
  • BDNF brain-derived neurotrophic factor
  • SORL1 is the first member of the Vps10 family that has been proven to be a late-onset AD risk gene by GWAS, and its expression level is reduced in the brains of patients with late-onset AD and mild cognitive impairment.
  • SORL1 is the cargo receptor of reverse transcriptase.
  • APP protein can transport APP protein from the endoplasmic reticulum system and the highly active environment of BACE protein to the reverse Golgi apparatus for re-modification. It can also directly regulate the oligomerization of APP to regulate its proteolysis. process. Reduction in SORL1 expression level or activity can promote the accumulation of A ⁇ .
  • TMEM163 a zinc ion transmembrane transporter, is a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD.
  • TMEM163 is responsible for the internal and external outflow of zinc ions at neuronal synapses, including participating in the release of synaptic vesicles.
  • SPRED2 belongs to the Sprouty/SPRED family, a member of the budding protein family, and participates in the activation of the MAPK kinase cascade process induced by growth factors. Genetically, SPRED2 has been shown to be a risk gene for sporadic AD.
  • the present invention uses the self-designed SPRED2 epitope polypeptide to detect the levels of autoantibodies in the serum and plasma of AD patients and develop response reagents to predict the risk of AD and the progression of the disease, providing a reliable reference for clinical treatment.
  • CLU is the second largest lipoprotein in the brain after apolipoprotein APOE and is a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD.
  • CLU may be involved in the transport of ⁇ -amyloid protein between the brain and plasma, and helps regulate the clearance of ⁇ -amyloid protein in the brain in the pathogenesis of AD.
  • An imbalance in the production and clearance of beta-amyloid is a core factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
  • PTK2B is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase involved in the calcium-induced ion channel regulation and activation map kinase signaling pathways. PTK2B serves as an important signaling intermediate between neuropeptide-activated receptors or neurotransmitters that represent increased calcium flux, and downstream signals that regulate neuronal activity. It undergoes rapid tyrosine phosphorylation and activation in response to increases in intracellular calcium concentration, nicotinic acetylcholine receptor activation, membrane depolarization, or protein kinase C activation. Genetically, PTK2B is a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD.
  • Phosphorylated PTK2B can co-localize with phosphorylated Tau in the brains of AD patients and transgenic Tau mice, participate in the phosphorylation and aggregation of Tau, and is an early marker and in vivo regulator of Tau toxicity.
  • TSPAN14 is a four-spanning protein on the cell membrane surface and a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD. In terms of biological functions, TSPAN14 can affect the activity of signaling pathway kinases on the inner side of the cell membrane, including the activation and regulation of the Notch signaling pathway. In terms of distribution, TSPAN14 is highly expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral immune cells, and has the function of regulating neuroimmune mechanisms.
  • FERMT2 is a focal adhesion protein on the cell membrane surface and is a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD.
  • FERMT2 is involved in regulating the binding activity of cytoskeletal tubulin, affecting the binding activity of phosphatidylinositol, and the activity of transforming growth factor ⁇ receptor.
  • FERMT2 participates in important events such as cell differentiation and local cell synthesis by affecting signaling pathways involving multiple cell surface receptors. Abnormal functional regulation of FERMT2 plays a key role in the development of AD.
  • the ADAM10 gene encodes a protein molecule containing disintegrin and metalloproteinase domains and is a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD. Multiple functional mutations of the ADAM10 gene have also been found in familial AD. In neurons, ADAM10 is one of the most important enzymes with ⁇ -secretase activity for the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor proteins. ADAM10 and ADAM17 together cleave the extracellular domain of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) to produce soluble TREM2 (sTREM2), which is one of the key molecules for the clearance of A ⁇ 42 in the brain. Abnormal functional regulation of ADAM10 plays a key role in the development of AD.
  • TREM2 myeloid cells 2
  • sTREM2 soluble TREM2
  • TREM2 is a stress-expressed receptor on the surface of myeloid cells and a GWAS risk gene for sporadic AD. Multiple functional mutations of the TREM2 gene have also been found in familial AD. In terms of biological function, this gene encodes a membrane protein that forms a receptor signaling complex with TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein, plays a role in immune responses, and may be involved in chronic disease by triggering the production of constitutive inflammatory cytokines. inflammation. In the brain, TREM2 is one of the key receptors by which microglia monitor and respond to neurodegenerative signals. In animal experiments, it was found that TREM2 antibodies can inhibit the hyperinflammatory state of microglia and restore their normal phagocytic function. Abnormal functional regulation of TREM2 plays a key role in the development of AD.
  • VKORC1 encodes a vitamin K oxidoreductase complex subunit and is a GWAS risk gene for sporadic and familial AD.
  • the VKORC1 protein is responsible for reducing inactive vitamin K 2,3-epoxide to active vitamin K in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
  • Vitamin K is a necessary cofactor for the carboxylation of glutamate residues by vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylase in thrombin.
  • the present invention uses self-designed antigenic epitope polypeptides to detect the levels of autoantibodies in the serum and plasma of AD patients and develop response reagents to predict the risk of AD and the progression of the disease, providing a reliable reference for clinical treatment.
  • the binding of antigens and antibodies actually only occurs between the antigenic determinant and the antigen-binding site of the antibody, and the two are completely complementary in spatial structure and configuration. Therefore, the antigenic determinant can represent the binding state and affinity characteristics of the entire protein to the antibody.
  • Traditional enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) detection of autoantibodies mainly uses recombinant proteins as antigens, which requires a series of tedious processes such as vector construction, transfection, expression, screening, and purification, and the production cost is expensive.
  • the complete protein has a complex spatial structure and the antigen epitope is not easily exposed, so the specificity of antigen-antibody binding is not strong, resulting in a low signal detection rate.

Description

用于检测阿尔兹海默病自身抗体的蛋白抗原组合及其应用 技术领域
本发明涉及免疫学技术领域,具体涉及用于检测ADAP自身抗体的抗原多肽及其应用。
背景技术
阿尔兹海默病(AD)是老年人痴呆的最常见原因,其在全球范围内发病率逐年上升。但至今为止,基于认知评定的临床方式仍是AD临床上鉴别诊断的最主要方式。淀粉样蛋白-β(Aβ)假说被广泛认为是AD最重要的发病机制。据信,Aβ异常积累到细胞外毒性斑块中是AD中神经变性和导致痴呆的重要基础。随着技术的进步,近年来涌现了一批围绕Aβ展开的AD新型诊断技术,如Aβ_PET-CT、脑脊液的Aβ水平测定、Aβ超高灵敏度质谱等。但这些技术存在一定的局限性:1)都是在Aβ沉积产生并积累一段时间后才能进行检测,这意味着由Aβ引起的神经退行性病变已经发生且不可逆转,无法做到疾病早期的风险预警;2)基于PET-CT或超高分辨率质谱等检测方式前期投入巨大,传导至受试者身上的单位检测价格很高,难以做到应检尽检;3)脑脊液检测需进行腰椎穿刺,受试者痛苦较大,且存在一定手术风险,因此临床上接受度不高。
研究证据表明,生物体的免疫机制在Aβ的清除中起重要作用。全基因组关联研究(GWAS)已经确定了130多个与AD相关的易感性位点,这些遗传发现提示了先天性和适应性免疫在AD发病机制中的作用,并表明细胞介导的Aβ清除的系统性失能促进了AD的发病和进展。围绕Aβ产生和积累过程中相关信号通路或生物学过程上关键靶点的自身免疫反应影响了Aβ的清除效率,在AD相关的神经退行性病变中发挥了关键作用。人体内源性蛋白抗原诱导产生的抗体被称为自身抗体,能够识别内源性蛋白分子,引起一系 列免疫级联反应。在人体大脑中,小胶质细胞是清除Aβ的关键细胞。小胶质细胞与外周巨噬细胞同源,保留了较强的免疫应答功能。有研究表明,一些内源性蛋白分子的自身抗体能够激活小胶质细胞的吞噬功能。国外一些著名药企已开展AD相关的疫苗和治疗单抗临床研究(如罗氏的Aβ单抗crenezumab等),但由于关注点都集中于Aβ本身,靶点选择面较窄,实际效果并不尽如人意。
本发明涉及10个阿尔兹海默病疾病相关蛋白(Alzheimer’s Disease Associated Protein,ADAP)自身抗体(SORL1,TMEM163,SPRED2,CLU,PTK2B,TSPAN14,FERMT2,ADAM10,TREM2,VKORC1):
Sortilin(SORL1)是一种在人类中由1号染色体上的SORT1基因编码的蛋白质。该蛋白是分选受体的液泡蛋白分选10蛋白(Vps10)家族中的一种I型膜糖蛋白。SORL1在许多组织中普遍表达,但在中枢神经系统中最为丰富。在细胞水平上,SORL1在高尔基体、内体、溶酶体和质膜之间的蛋白质转运中发挥作用。这种分子功能使SORL1能够参与各种生物过程,包括响应胰岛素将GLUT4转运到脂肪和骨骼肌细胞的质膜;介导proNGF和p75NTR:sortilin复合物之间的相互作用,通过充当共同受体来发出细胞死亡信号;对神经元存活所必需的脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)具有精细调节功能。在AD中,SORL1是Vps10家族中首个被GWAS证明是迟发性AD风险基因的成员,其在迟发性AD和轻度认知障碍患者的大脑中表达水平降低。SORL1是逆转录酶的货物受体,能够将APP蛋白从内质网系统和BACE蛋白高活性的环境中转运至反面高尔基体进行重新修饰,也能直接调控APP的寡聚化来调控其蛋白水解过程。SORL1表达水平或活性的降低能够促进Aβ的积累。
TMEM163锌离子跨膜转运蛋白,是散发AD的一个GWAS风险基因。生物学功能上,TMEM163负责神经元突触上锌离子的内外流过程,包括参与突触小泡的释放。
SPRED2属于出芽蛋白家族Sprouty/SPRED family成员,参与由生长因子诱导的MAPK激酶级联过程的激活。遗传学上,SPRED2被证明是散发性AD的一个风险基因。本发明通过自行设计的SPRED2抗原表位多肽,检测 AD患者血清及血浆中自身抗体水平并开发响应试剂,预测AD发生风险及病程发展程度,为临床治疗提供可靠参考。
CLU是脑内仅次于载脂蛋白APOE的第二大脂蛋白,是散发性AD的GWAS风险基因。生物学功能上,CLU可能参与β-淀粉样蛋白在脑与血浆之间的转运,在AD的致病机制中有助于调节大脑中β-淀粉样蛋白的清除。而β-淀粉样蛋白产生和清除的失衡是阿尔兹海默病发展的核心因素。
PTK2B是一种细胞质蛋白酪氨酸激酶,参与钙诱导的离子通道调节和激活图谱激酶信号通路。PTK2B作为代表增加钙通量的神经肽激活受体或神经递质之间的重要信号中间体,以及调节神经元活性的下游信号。其响应于细胞内钙浓度、烟碱乙酰胆碱受体激活、膜去极化或蛋白激酶C活化的增加,而经历快速的酪氨酸磷酸化和活化。在遗传学上,PTK2B是散发性AD的GWAS风险基因。磷酸化的PTK2B可与AD患者及转基因Tau鼠脑中磷酸化的Tau共定位,参与Tau的磷酸化和聚集等过程,是Tau毒性的早期标记物和体内调节剂。
TSPAN14是一个细胞膜表面四次跨膜蛋白,是散发AD的一个GWAS风险基因。生物学功能上,TSPAN14能够影响细胞膜内侧相关信号通路激酶的活性,包括对Notch信号通路的激活调控功能等。分布上,TSPAN14高表达于中枢神经系统和外周免疫细胞当中,具有调节神经免疫机制的功能。
FERMT2是细胞膜表面的粘着斑蛋白,是散发AD的一个GWAS风险基因。生物学功能上,FERMT2参与调控细胞骨架微管蛋白的结合活性,影响磷脂酰肌醇的结合活性,以及转化生长因子β受体的活性。在生物学过程中,FERMT2通过影响多个细胞表面受体参与的信号通路,参与如细胞分化、细胞局部合成等重要事件。FERMT2的功能调控异常在AD的疾病发展中起了关键作用。
ADAM10基因编码一个含有去整合素和金属蛋白酶结构域的蛋白质分子,是散发AD的一个GWAS风险基因,家族性AD中也发现多个ADAM10基因的功能性突变。在神经元中,ADAM10是最重要的酶之一,具有α-分泌酶活性,可用于淀粉样前体蛋白的蛋白水解加工。ADAM10与ADAM17一起切割骨髓细胞2(TREM2)上表达的触发受体的胞外域,产生可溶性 TREM2(sTREM2),是脑内Aβ42清除的关键分子之一。ADAM10的功能调控异常在AD的疾病发展中起了关键作用。
TREM2是一个髓系细胞表面应激表达受体,是散发AD的一个GWAS风险基因,家族性AD中也发现多个TREM2基因的功能性突变。生物学功能上,该基因编码一种与TYRO蛋白酪氨酸激酶结合蛋白形成受体信号复合物的膜蛋白,免疫反应中起作用,并且可能通过触发组成性炎性细胞因子的产生而参与慢性炎症。在大脑中,TREM2是小胶质细胞监视并响应神经退行性病变信号的关键受体之一。在动物实验中,发现TREM2的抗体能够抑制小胶质细胞的炎性功能亢进状态,并修复其正常的吞噬功能。TREM2的功能调控异常在AD的疾病发展中起了关键作用。
VKORC1编码维他命K氧化还原酶复合物亚基,是散发及家族性AD的一个GWAS风险基因。生物学功能上,VKORC1蛋白负责在内质网膜中将非活性维生素K 2,3-环氧化物还原为活性维生素K。维生素K是凝血酶中维生素K依赖性γ-羧化酶对谷氨酸残基进行羧化所必需的辅助因子。
本发明通过自行设计的抗原表位多肽,检测AD患者血清及血浆中自身抗体水平并开发响应试剂,预测AD发生风险及病程发展程度,为临床治疗提供可靠参考。
发明内容
抗原抗体的结合实际上只发生在抗原决定簇和抗体的抗原结合位点之间,二者在空间结构和空间构型上完全互补。因此抗原决定簇就可以代表整个蛋白与抗体结合的状态与亲和特征。传统酶联免疫法(ELISA)检测自身抗体主要以重组蛋白为抗原,需经过载体构建、转染、表达、筛选、纯化等一系列繁琐过程,生产成本昂贵。且完整蛋白空间结构复杂、抗原表位不易暴露,因此抗原抗体结合的特异性不强,导致信号检出率低。
基于此,有必要提供了检测阿尔兹海默病标志物ADAP自身抗体的抗原多肽。
为实现上述目的,本发明具体技术方案如下:
首先,提供了检测阿尔兹海默病标志物ADAP自身抗体的抗原多肽,所述抗原多肽包含如SEQ ID NO.1-10所示的氨基酸序列中的至少一种:

具体实施方式
以下实施例用于说明本发明,但不用来限制本发明的范围。若未特别指明,实施例中所用的技术手段为本领域技术人员所熟知的常规手段。
下述实施例所使用的实验方法如无特殊说明,均为常规方法。
下述实施例中所有的材料、试剂等,如无特殊说明,均可从商业途径获得。
含有SEQ ID NO.1-10所示氨基酸序列的抗原多肽由于含有特定的抗原决定簇,使其能够与ADAP自身抗体抗原结合位点发生特异识别和结合,从而提高了上述抗原多肽与待测样本中所含的ADAP自身抗体之间的特异反应,并提高两者的特异结合率。这样,将其与待测样本——如血清或血浆——中的ADAP自身抗体特异识别和结合后,能够检测出待测样本中ADAP自身抗体的含量水平,通过对自身抗体的含量水平判断,从而间接判断待测样本来源体的阿尔兹海默病发病风险和进展。例如ADAP自身抗体水平降低预示患者可能出现了有ADAP介导的Aβ清除失能,可以预测AD的发生风险及发生进程,指导临床医生对AD的早期诊断。其中,ADAP自身抗体可以是ADAP的特异性自身IgG抗体。
另外,上述抗原多肽所含的SEQ ID NO.1-10所示氨基酸序列为简单的线性多肽氨基酸序列,其对于现有重组蛋白的抗原而言,获得成本显著降低,而且与ADAP自身抗体的结合特异性强。鉴于此,本发明在公开候选检测表 位的同时,亦对ELISA的检测手段进行改进。发明人遵循以下原则设计线性多肽抗原:1)选择细胞膜蛋白表面区域;2)选择不形成α-helix的序列;3)避免蛋白内部重复;4)避免同源性强的肽段;5)必须包含人白细胞二类抗原(HLA-II)系统的限制性表位。
基于上述原则,本发明运用生物信息学预测手段结合多个表位预测模拟软件,综合分析与抗原性相关的参数,设计了如SEQ ID NO.1-10所示的线性氨基酸多肽序列,分别对应10种ADAP自身抗体,所设计的抗原多肽在空间结构和构型上与目标抗体完全互补。其中SORL1抗原蛋白(NP_003096.2sortilin-related receptor preproprotein[Homo sapiens])的序列如下SEQ ID NO.11所示,加框部分是抗原多肽片段以及在SORL1蛋白中的位置:

获得各检测样本PSR数值后,采用秩和检验比较不同组别间的差异,以SBI平均值≥2倍方差(SD),一类错误水平a<0.05为阳性判定阈值。采用受试者特征曲线(ROC)进行诊断效能评价。采用皮尔森相关性分析IgG抗体水平与受试者认知评分间的相关性。ROC曲线是根据一系列不同的二分类方式(分界值或判定阈值),以真阳性率(灵敏度)为纵坐标,假阳性率(1- 特异性)为横坐标绘制,以曲线下面积(AUC)判定诊断效能。AUC取值范围为0.5-1.0,越趋近于1,表征诊断效能越强。本发明采用统计学计算分析软件Graphpad Prism 7.0(Graphpad Software,美国)软件绘制ROC曲线,计算曲线下面积(AUC),以健康人PSR平均值-2SD判为阳性,判定灵敏度和特异度;进行Fisher's精确检验,检验一类错误水准为a=0.05。
(8)质控:各检测样本设置双复孔,取平均OD值。OD值离散度判定:离散度=(OD1-OD2)/(OD1+OD2)≤0.1,为有效结果;离散度>0.1,为无效结果。取100份健康人血浆等体积混合作为质控血(QC),代表人群本底水平。每个检测板设置2个QC血浆孔,以QC变异水平判定结果的稳定性。批内变异CV=每日各板QC孔SD值/每日各板QC孔均值×100%;批内变异需<10%。批间变异CV=所有批次QC孔SD值/所有批次QC孔均值×100%;批间变异需<20%。
3.检测结果:
如表2和图1-3所示,AD患者血浆中与10种ADAP抗原多肽结合的IgG抗体阳性率均显著低于健康对照组(P<0.001)。如表3和图4-6所示,血浆抗ADAP IgG抗体水平与受试者MMSE认知评分呈现显著正相关关系(P<0.001),即血浆抗ADAP IgG抗体可以预测受试者AD相关的痴呆表型发展程度相关,抗体水平越低,认识损害程度越高。如表4和图7、图9、图10所示,AD患者血浆抗ADAP IgG抗体ROC曲线下面积(AUC)均大于0.7,以95%特异性时抗体水平作为阳性阈值判定,得到的灵敏度均大于20%。以上数据充分表明,利用本发明所设计的抗原多肽检测得到的AD患者自身抗体IgG水平与正常健康对照组有显著性统计学差异。
多靶点的联合诊断能有效提升生物标志物在疾病中的诊断效力。本发明通过建立逻辑回归线性模型,将其中8个血浆抗ADAP IgG抗体(SORL1,TMEM163,SPRED2,CLU,PTK2B,TSPAN14,FERMT2,ADAM10)检测值进行拟合。拟合后ROC分析的曲线下面积AUC为0.89(见图8),以95%特异性时抗体水平作为阳性阈值判定,得到的灵敏度为73.2%,诊断效能表现远高于单靶点的应用。将全部10个血浆抗ADAP IgG抗体(SORL1,TMEM163,SPRED2,CLU,PTK2B,TSPAN14,FERMT2,ADAM10,TREM2, VKORC1)检测值进行拟合。拟合后ROC分析的曲线下面积AUC为0.9825(见图11),以95%特异性时抗体水平作为阳性阈值判定,得到的灵敏度为91.07%,诊断效能表现远高于所有单靶点的应用和以上8个靶点的联合诊断应用。
