TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to an INH-GNIH double expression gene vaccine for improving animal reproductive capacity, a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The development of follicle is comprehensively regulated by multiple hormones, both promoting and inhibiting the development of follicle; for example, gonadotropin and gonadotropin releasing hormone are hormones promoting the development of follicle, and inhibin (INH) and gonadotropin inhibiting hormone (GnIH) are hormones inhibiting the development of follicle.
[0003] Inhibin (INH) is a member of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family, a heterodimeric glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 31-34 kd, which is secreted by gonads, and consists of an alpha subunit (18 kd) and one of two closely related beta subunits (beta A and beta B, approximately 14 kd) to form a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone. The alpha subunit is linked to the beta A or beta B subunit by a disulfide bond to form inhibin A and inhibin B, respectively. INH is one of the important hormones in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis regulation system, which regulates the synthesis and secretion of FSH in the body, and further regulates follicular development. Immunization of INH can promote follicular development in a dose-dependent manner. Han et al. in 2008 immunized rats with 10, 50 and 100 μg of pCIS plasmid at 20-day intervals for 3 times, and used 50 μg of pcDNA3.1 and 100 μl of 0.85% saline as controls. It was found that after the second and third immunization, the average number of mature follicles in the test group was 3.6 and 4.9 more than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the average number of litters and placenta was also significantly increased. Especially in the high-dose group (100 μg PCIS), the number of mature follicles was significantly higher than that in other test groups, which could significantly increase the number of mature follicles, but had no effect on the size and weight of the ovary. Wang et al. in 2012 immunized mice with 10, 50 and 100 μg / 100 μl of pcISI plasmid, and used 100 μg of pcMV-s and 100 μl of physiological saline as controls. It was found that the plasma FSH and estradiol concentrations in the immunized mice were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the effect of the high-dose group was the best (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the ovary weight (P<0.05), length and width (P>0.05) of all immunized groups were changed, especially the number of mature follicles in the high-dose group was higher than that in other groups (P<0.05), and the number of litters was increased. Mao et al. in 2016 divided 120 chickens into 4 groups, and injected hens with 0, 25, 75 or 125 μg of pcISI by intramuscular injection, and then boosted the immunization after 20 days. The results showed that the number of dominant follicles and large white follicles in each immunized group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Especially in the high-dose group, the number of small yellow follicles increased (P<0.05), and the egg-laying performance was significantly improved.
[0004] GnIH is RF (arginine-phenylalanine) amide peptide (RFRP), which mainly inhibits the secretion of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) in the anterior pituitary, contrary to GnRH. GnIH can inhibit the release of LH and FSH in the pituitary of chicken and quail. Intravenous administration of RFRP-3 can reduce the peripheral blood gonadotropin level of sex gland resection male rats, inhibit testicular steroid hormone production and spermatogenesis in adult mice, pulse amplitude of sheep LH, and inhibit the secretion of LH and FSH. In addition, studies have shown that GnIH can inhibit follicular development and steroidogenesis in chickens. The above studies suggest that GnIH may directly or indirectly inhibit follicular development and ovulation. SUMMARY

[0041] The existing researches show that GnIH can directly or indirectly inhibit follicular development and ovulation. The present inventors found that the GnIH gene vaccine can stimulate follicular development and ovulation, and increase the number of births and lambing after immunizing sheep and mice with the GnIH gene vaccine through a large number of experiments.
[0042] The present inventors constructed single expression DNA vaccines PVAX-tPA-SINH-asd and PVAX-tPA-SRFRP-asd of inhibin (INH) and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (RFRP), respectively, which showed good effects of improving fertility in mice. Since the two hormones are both related to follicular development, it is speculated that the effect of combined expression of the two hormones will be better than single expression. The laboratory previously constructed a double expression plRES-tPA-SINH-tPA-SRFRP, which significantly improved the number of litters compared with the control group. However, IRES (internal ribosome entry site) was used, and the expression amount of the downstream gene was 20%-50% of the upstream gene, and the vector contained ampicillin resistance. After a large number of experiments, the present application uses 2A' peptide-mediated multi-expression to achieve almost equal molar expression of upstream and downstream, and does not contain a resistance gene.
[0043] The present application uses the gene sequence of 2A' peptide as a connection site, and achieves almost equal molar expression of upstream and downstream, so that the downstream gene has almost equal molar expression as single expression, which is equivalent to double single expression and simultaneous immunization, thereby reducing the cost.
[0044] The following examples are used to further illustrate the present application, but should not be construed as limiting the present application. Modifications or substitutions made to the present application without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application shall fall within the scope of the present application.

[0080] 1) Preparation of competent cells of χ6097 (preserved by the Department of Animal Genetics and Breeding and Reproduction, Key Laboratory of Education, Reproduction Group) (calcium chloride method)
[0081] The frozen strain χ6097 was streaked on LB plates containing diaminopimelic acid (DAP) (50 μg / ml) with a sterile inoculation loop, and a control streak was made on LB plates without DAP and incubated at 37°C overnight. The next day, a single colony that grew well was picked and inoculated into 5 ml of LB liquid medium containing DAP (50 μg / ml) and incubated at 37°C with shaking at 220 r / min overnight. One ml of the activated culture was inoculated into 200 ml of LB liquid medium containing DAP (50 μg / ml) and incubated at 37°C with shaking for 2.5-3 h to make the OD600 value about 0.5. The bacterial culture was poured into a pre-cooled sterile large centrifuge bottle under sterile conditions, and ice-bath for 30 min, centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm / min for 10 min, and the supernatant was discarded. The bacterial pellet was gently suspended in 10 ml of ice-precooled 0.1 M CaCl2, ice-bath for 30 min, centrifuged at 4°C at 5000 rpm / min for 10 min, and the supernatant was discarded. Finally, the pellet was resuspended in 1 ml of ice-precooled 0.1 M CaCl2, and sterilized glycerol was added to a final concentration of 15%, mixed well, and then aliquoted into 100 μl / tube, to obtain competent bacteria χ6097, which can be directly used for transformation or stored in a -80°C refrigerator for later use.
[0082] 2) Transformation of the ligation product into competent bacteria χ6097 by heat shock method, as follows:
[0083] (1) 100 μl of ice-bath-melted competent cells were taken, 10 μl of recombinant DNA (PVAX-tPA-SRFRP-asd prepared in the above step) was added, and mixed gently, and placed in an ice-bath for 30 min.
[0084] (2) 42°C water bath for 90 sec, then quickly transfer the tube to an ice-bath for 2 min, and do not shake the centrifuge tube during this process.
[0085] (3) 900 μl of sterile LB medium (without antibiotics) was added to each centrifuge tube, mixed well, and incubated at 37°C with shaking at 220 r / min for 45 min to recover the bacteria.

Simultaneously, streak a control on an LB agar plate without DAP. Incubate overnight at 37°C. The next day, pick a single, well-grown colony and incubate it in 5 ml of LB liquid medium containing DAP (50 μg / ml) at 37°C with shaking at 220 rpm overnight. Inoculate 1 ml of the activated culture into 200 ml of LB liquid medium containing DAP (50 μg / ml) and incubate at 37°C with shaking for 2.5–3 hours until the OD600 value reaches approximately 0.5. Under aseptic conditions, transfer the bacterial culture to a pre-chilled sterile large centrifuge flask, incubate on ice for 30 min, centrifuge at 5000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and discard the supernatant. The bacterial precipitate was gently resuspended in 10 ml of ice-cold 0.1 M CaCl2, incubated on ice for 30 min, centrifuged at 5000 rpm / min at 4℃ for 10 min, and the supernatant was discarded. Finally, the precipitate was resuspended again in 1 ml of ice-cold 0.1 M CaCl2, and sterile glycerol was added to a final concentration of 15%.

The PCR reaction program was as follows: 94℃ pre-denaturation for 4 min, followed by 94℃ denaturation for 40 s, 66℃ annealing for 30 s, and 72℃ extension for 1 min, for a total of 35 cycles. The final extension was performed at 72℃ for 10 min, followed by 4℃ for 10 min.
[0236] The tPA-SINH upstream primer used in PCR amplification contains a KpnI restriction site, and the downstream primer contains an EcoRI restriction site. The primer sequences are as follows:
[0237]
[0238] 1.2 Ligation of tPA-SINH fragment with pMD19T(Simple)
[0239] The amplified products were subjected to electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the tPA-SINH fragment was excised from the agarose gel under UV light and recovered according to the instructions of the TaKaRa MiniBEST Agarose Gel DNA Extraction Kit Ver. 4.0. The specific steps are as follows: After 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, a single target DNA band was excised from the agarose gel under UV light and placed into a clean 1.5 mL EP tube. Three volumes (100 mg = 100 μL) of Buffer GM were added, and the mixture was stirred until dissolved at room temperature. During this process, the EP tube was gently tapped to completely melt the gel. The melted liquid was then transferred to an adsorption column and centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 1 min. The waste liquid in the collection tube was discarded, 500 μL of Buffer WB was added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 30 s and washed twice. Finally, the column was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 1 min to remove any trace liquid. Transfer the adsorption column to a clean 1.5 mL EP tube, add 30 μL of Elution Buffer, incubate at room temperature for 2 min, and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min to elute the DNA. Electrophoresis is used to assess the purity of the recovered DNA and to determine its concentration. The collected DNA solution can be used for the next experimental step or stored at -20 °C for later use.
[0240] The tPA-SINH fragment was ligated to the pMD19T-simple vector. The specific steps were as follows: The ligation volume ratio of the vector to the target fragment was calculated based on the recovered DNA concentration. Solution I was used to ligate the pMD19T and tPA-SINH fragments in a 10 μL ligation system: 0.5 μL pMD19T, 4.5 μL tPA-SINH fragment, and 5 μL Solution I. The mixture was thoroughly mixed, briefly centrifuged, and incubated overnight at 16°C.
