摘要:

为了探索猪圆环病毒2型(porcine circovirus type 2, PCV2)病毒样颗粒三倍轴区域展示外源抗原表位的潜力,本研究借助结构模拟和蛋白质的三维结构展示,分析了PCV2核衣壳表面氨基酸残基突变后的结构差异。通过分析不同cap基因突变质粒在大肠杆菌表达系统中所表达的突变体蛋白的可溶性和纯化难易程度,确定合适的外源表位嵌合区。将嵌合PPV抗原表位的Cap蛋白经体外组装获得重组的病毒样颗粒,将此病毒样颗粒免疫小鼠,通过抗体检测来评价其免疫原性。结果显示,PCV2核衣壳表面三倍轴区域存在两个适合用于展示外源表位的氨基酸区域(分别命名为Motif A和Motif B);相同表达条件下,Motif A区域的突变蛋白均以可溶性表达为主,且能一步纯化获得目的蛋白,而Motif B区域的突变蛋白多以包涵体形式存在;Motif A区域嵌合PPV表位后,纯化的重组蛋白能在体外组装成cVLPs,并通过间接免疫荧光试验证明其保留有野生型VLPs内化PK15细胞的能力;形成的cVLPs能刺激小鼠机体产生分别针对PCV2 VLPs、B5-E1表位和PPV VP2蛋白的抗体。综上表明,PCV2 Cap蛋白Loop GH区域Motif A能够将外源表位展示在病毒样颗粒外表面,并且能够被机体免疫细胞识别产生特异性抗体。

Abstract:

In order to study the potential of displaying foreign epitopes in the 3-fold axes region on the surface of PCV2 capsid, 3D structures of recombinant proteins after amino acid mutation are modeled, displayed and analyzed, combined with PCV2 capsid surface amino acid analysis. The constructed plasmids were expressed in E.coli (BL21), and the differences in soluble expression and purification difficulty of various mutant cap genes were analyzed, then the suitable region for displaying foreign epitope was determined. After the recombinant Cap protein inserted with PPV epitope was assembled in vitro, then the chimeric VLPs were immunized to mice, and the immunogenicity of chimeric VLPs was evaluated by antibody detection. The results showed that there were two amino acid regions (named Motif A and Motif B) suitable for displaying exogenous epitopes in 3-fold axes region on the surface of PCV2 capsid. Under the same expression conditions, mutant proteins related to Motif A region were mainly expressed in supernatant, and the target protein could be purified in one step, while most mutant proteins related to Motif B region were mainly in the form of precipitation. After PPV epitope was chimeric in Motif A region, and the purified recombinant protein could be assembled into cVLPs. IFA results demonstrated that cVLPs retained a similar capacity to enter PK15 cells as its wild type. The formed cVLPs could stimulate the mouse body to produce antibodies against the PCV2 VLPs, the B5-E1 epitope and PPV VP2 protein, respectively. The results showed that Motif A in the Loop GH region of PCV2 Cap protein, can display foreign epitopes on the outer surface of virus-like particles, and can be recognized by immune cells to produce specific antibodies.
