Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biochemical detection, and particularly relates to a hyaluronic acid-binding protein aggregate and its application in detecting hyaluronic acid. Background Art

[0002] Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a macromolecular glycosaminoglycan with a simple structure but complex functions. It is usually composed of 2000 - 2500 glucuronic acid-(β1-3)-N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide units linked by β1-4 glycosidic bonds to form a polymer with a molecular weight of about 106 - 107. Hyaluronic acid is widely distributed in the biological world. In the human body, hyaluronic acid mainly exists in parts such as the skin, heart, synovial fluid of joints, and bones, and has various functions such as space filling and lubrication. In malignant tumors, hyaluronic acid participates in the proliferation, adhesion, migration of tumor cells and induction of multi-drug resistance of tumors, and plays an important role in tumor development and metastasis.

[0003] HA is an important diagnostic indicator for many diseases. HA can reflect the function and damaged degree of liver endothelial cells. There is a close relationship between the increased level of HA in liver cirrhosis and the degree of pathological changes in liver tissue. When the HA level reaches 250 μg / L, liver cirrhosis can be diagnosed; when the HA level reaches 165 μg / L, it can be used as the boundary between chronic active hepatitis and chronic persistent hepatitis; the serum HA level in acute hepatitis may have a slight increase. In liver cancer, HA is significantly increased. The serum HA level in chronic nephritis and chronic renal insufficiency is significantly increased and is positively correlated with creatinine and urea nitrogen. The serum HA level in pulmonary mesothelioma is significantly increased. As one of the markers for bladder tumors, the content of HA in urine is detected to assist in the diagnosis of bladder tumors. HA can also be applied to the diagnosis of psoriasis. In addition, recent studies have confirmed that hyaluronic acid has an overexpression phenomenon at the tumor site, so hyaluronic acid can also be used as a marker for malignant tumors for tumor diagnosis.

[0004] There are already various HA detection and diagnostic reagents on the market, and the active ingredient for detecting HA is hyaluronic acid-binding protein (HABP). HABP is conventionally Versican protein extracted from bovine nasal cartilage or a Versican protein fragment expressed by Escherichia coli. In 2005, Seyfried first reported the recombinant expression of human Versican G1 domain (1-350aa of NP_001157569.1) using the Drosophila expression system and experimentally confirmed its hyaluronic acid-binding function (Seyfried, McVey et al. 2005). In 2011, Clark expressed the VG1 protein with the same base sequence as Seyfried in the Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLysS cells system, but it was in the form of inclusion bodies and had low sensitivity for HA detection.

[0005] CN104093415B discloses another recombinant HA-binding protein, however, this functional sequence is from TSG-6. In existing clinical diagnoses, the commonly used HABP is conventionally Versican protein extracted from bovine nasal cartilage or the Versican protein fragment VG1 expressed by Escherichia coli. The monomeric affinity of the existing VG1 protein is low, and there is a lack of a VG1 protein with high affinity. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a new hyaluronic acid detection protein and its uses. The inventors of the present invention unexpectedly found during the development of recombinant hyaluronidase-binding protein that when a fusion protein (VG1-Fc) is formed by expressing VG1 and Fc, it has higher affinity and better specificity than TSG-6-linker module (LM). On the other hand, due to the high affinity and good specificity of VG1-Fc, the sensitivity of commercially available kits and the prior art TSG-6-linker module can be achieved without Biotin labeling. The kit developed based on the VG1-Fc protein can effectively detect HA in, for example, blood and tissues, providing a new option for HA-related research.

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention for the defects of the prior art is: a dimeric protein that binds to hyaluronic acid, the dimeric protein comprising 2 monomers, wherein each monomer comprises a first protein functional region and a second protein functional region, the first protein functional region comprises the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1, or a sequence having 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or more than 99% identity therewith; the first protein functional region forms a dimeric form through the second protein functional region.

[0008] The two monomers may be the same or different, where the two first protein functional regions may be the same or different, and the two second protein functional regions may be the same or different; when they are different, the amino acid sequences of the two protein functional regions have an identity of 85%, 90%, 95%, 98% or more than 99%.

[0009] Preferably, the second protein functional region contains the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2. More preferably, the second protein functional region further contains the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:8.

[0010] Preferably, the monomer contains the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3. More preferably, the monomer contains the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:4.

[0011] To solve the above technical problems, the second technical solution of the present invention is: a nucleic acid molecule encoding a monomer of a dimer protein that binds to hyaluronic acid as described in any one of the above. Preferably, the nucleic acid molecule contains the sequences shown in SEQ ID NO:5 and SEQ ID NO:6.

[0012] To solve the above technical problems, the third technical solution of the present invention is: an expression vector that contains the nucleic acid molecule as described above.

[0013] To solve the above technical problems, the fourth technical solution of the present invention is: a prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell that contains the expression vector as described above. Preferably, the host cell is a prokaryotic cell or a eukaryotic cell.

[0014] To solve the above technical problems, the fifth technical solution of the present invention is: the application of the dimer protein, the nucleic acid molecule, the expression vector or the host cell as described in any one of the above in the preparation of in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic pharmaceutical preparations and / or pharmaceutical compositions for diseases.

[0015] To solve the above technical problems, the sixth technical solution of the present invention is: a detection kit that includes the hyaluronic acid-binding protein as described above.

[0016] Preferably, the detection kit contains a hyaluronic acid degrading enzyme. More preferably, the hyaluronic acid degrading enzyme is hyaluronidase. Even more preferably, the hyaluronidase is Hyal1, Hyal2, Hyal3, mammalian testicular hyaluronidase, hyaluronidase fusion protein, variants of the hyaluronidase and / or modified products of the variants of the hyaluronidase. Further preferably, the hyaluronidase is human testicular hyaluronidase, and the human testicular hyaluronidase is PH20 with a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:9.

[0017] The kit is applied to the detection of hyaluronic acid in tissue or fluid samples, and the tissue is derived from species such as humans and mice. The tissue is preferably human stromal tissue. The human stromal tissue is more preferably a stromal tissue sample from a tumor. The fluid includes blood, serum, urine, sweat, semen, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid or lymph.

[0018] To solve the above technical problems, the seventh technical solution of the present invention is: a method for detecting hyaluronic acid, which includes the following steps:

[0019] (1) Take a sample containing hyaluronic acid; the sample is a stromal tissue sample or a fluid sample, the stromal tissue is preferably a stromal tissue sample from a tumor, and the fluid sample includes blood, serum, urine, sweat, semen, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid and / or lymph sample;

[0022] On the basis of conforming to the common knowledge in the art, the above preferred conditions can be arbitrarily combined to obtain various preferred examples of the present invention.

[0023] The reagents and raw materials used in the present invention are all commercially available.

[0024] The positive and progressive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0025] The present invention provides a novel hyaluronic acid-binding protein and provides its application in detecting and quantifying hyaluronic acid in biological samples. The kit containing this protein can be used to diagnose and predict the disease development, treatment effect and prognosis of patients.

[0026] The obtained hyaluronic acid-binding protein fragment of the present invention can conveniently remove the Fc fragment. As an in vitro diagnostic reagent, it does not precipitate antigens and can reduce the false positive rate. The obtained hyaluronic acid-binding protein fragment has a high affinity for hyaluronic acid. The dimer of the hyaluronic acid-binding protein has a much higher affinity for hyaluronic acid than the prior art and has higher detection sensitivity. As an in vivo diagnostic reagent, after being labeled with a radionuclide, the hyaluronic acid-binding protein fragment has a shorter half-life in normal tissues than the full-length antibody and can be rapidly degraded, which is beneficial to reducing the damage to normal tissues of the body caused by the Fc effector function.

[0031] Figure 5 Experimental result graph of the application of specific proteins to skin tissue immunohistochemistry for VG1-Fc. Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The present invention will be further illustrated by the following examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the described examples. For the experimental methods without specific conditions noted in the following examples, they are carried out according to conventional methods and conditions, or selected according to the product specifications.

[0033] Example 1. Expression of VG1-Fc protein

[0034] Entrust a gene synthesis company to optimize the codons for the provided amino acid sequences and synthesize the DNA fragments encoding VG1-Fc (SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:6), VG1-His, and TSG-6-Fc in full gene, and clone them into the KJ-V01 expression vector constructed by the inventor ( Figure 1 ), and the expression vector consists of the following elements:

[0035] 1) Glutamine synthetase gene, as a selection marker,

[0036] 2) Replication origin, ori,

[0037] 3) Replication origin from vector pUC18, which allows this plasmid to replicate in Escherichia coli,

[0038] 4) β-lactamase gene, which confers ampicillin resistance in Escherichia coli,

[0039] 5) Immediate early enhancer and promoter from human cytomegalovirus,

[0040] 6) Human 1-immunoglobulin polyadenylation (“poly A”) signal sequence.

[0041] As described above, the full-length genes of VG1-Fc (SEQ ID NO:4), VG1-His (SEQ ID NO:7), and TSG-6-Fc (see CN104093415B, SEQ ID NO:215) were synthesized, digested with EcoRI and HindIII, and then cloned into the KJ-V01 vector digested with the same enzymes, finally constructing VG1-Fc / KJ-V01, VG1-His / KJ-V01, and TSG-6-Fc / KJ-V01.

[0042] The constructed expression vectors of VG1-Fc / KJ-V01, VG1-His / KJ-V01, and TSG-6-Fc / KJ-V01 were transformed into Escherichia coli TOP10, and positive clones were picked and inoculated into 100 ml of LB medium for amplification. Transfection-grade DNA was prepared using the Plasmid Plus Midi Kit (cat: 12943) from Qiagen. The obtained plasmid was linearized by single digestion with ScaI, and then the digested plasmid was purified by phenol-chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation (the method is from "Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Third Edition"). The plasmid DNA was transfected into CHO-K1 (Chinese hamster ovary cells, purchased from ATCC) using the liposome method kit from Gibco, and the operation was carried out according to the manufacturer's instructions.

[0043] At 24 - 48 hours after transfection, the cells were inoculated into a 96-well plate at a certain cell density, and the cell medium was a selection medium containing a selection drug. After static culture for 3 - 4 weeks, clones gradually grew out. Larger monoclonal clones were selected, the medium was changed, and the cells were dispersed. After 24 hours, the supernatant was taken for detection of VG1-Fc / KJ-V01, VG1-His / KJ-V01, and TSG-6-Fc / KJ-V01. HA was coated on an ImmunoX ELISA plate, and the clones with higher response values were successively amplified to a 24-well plate, a T25 culture flask, a T75 culture flask, and a 125 mL shake flask. Clones with good growth were selected for amplification and harvesting of the supernatant. The supernatant after harvesting was purified using a ProA column or a nickel column. The purified protein was stored in a PBS system with a pH of 7.4.

[0062] Example 2. Affinity Test of VG1-Fc Dimer Protein and Monomeric VG1 (His-tag) Protein

[0063] Take 1 mg / ml hyaluronic acid solution, dilute it 10-fold with 0.5 mol / L sodium carbonate solution (pH 9.6), mix well, add 100 μl per well into a 96-well plate, and coat overnight at 2 - 8 °C. Dilute VG1-Fc dimer protein and VG1 (His-tag) protein starting from 1000 ng / ml, then dilute 10-fold to 100 ng / ml, and then continue to perform 5 two-fold serial dilutions to obtain a total of 7 concentration points, which are added to the 96-well plate coated with hyaluronic acid, 100 μl per well, and incubated at 37 °C for about 1 hour. VG1-Fc is detected with anti-Human IgG Fcγ-HRP (ThermoFisher Scientific) enzyme-linked antibody, and VG1 (His-tag) is detected with Anti-6X His Antibody (HRP) (Abcam) enzyme-linked antibody. Then, develop color with TMB substrate, and measure the absorbance value with a Molecular Devices, Spectra Max M2e microplate reader at 450 / 630 nm. Compared with the monomeric VG1 (His-tag) protein, the VG1-Fc dimer protein significantly exhibits excellent affinity on the HA-coated plate ( Figure 2 ).

[0064] Example 3. Affinity Test of VG1-Fc Dimer Protein and TSG-6-Fc Dimer Protein

[0065] Take 1 mg / ml hyaluronic acid solution, dilute it 10 times with 0.5 mol / L sodium carbonate solution (pH 9.6), mix well, add 100 μl per well into a 96-well plate, and coat overnight at 2 - 8 °C. Dilute VG1-Fc dimer protein and TSG-6-Fc dimer protein starting from 10 nM, then dilute 10-fold to 1 nM, and then continue to dilute in a 2-fold serial dilution for 5 points, with a total of 7 concentration points added to the 96-well plate coated with hyaluronic acid, 100 μl per well, and incubate at 37 °C for about 1 hour. Detect with anti-Human IgG Fcγ-HRP (Thermo Fisher Scientific) enzyme-linked antibody, then develop color with TMB substrate, and measure the absorbance value with a Molecular Devices, Spectra Max M2e microplate reader at 450 / 630 nm. Compared with monomeric TSG-6-Fc, VG1-Fc dimer protein significantly shows higher affinity on the HA-coated plate. The EC50 value of VG1-Fc is 0.38 ± 0.04 nM, and the EC50 value of TSG-6-Fc is 0.91 ± 0.11 nM, P < 0.01( Figure 3 ).

[0066] Example 4. VG1-Fc Has Higher Affinity Compared with TSG-6-Fc Dimer Protein

[0067] In this example, the affinity of VG1-Fc and TSG-6-Fc was further evaluated under the same detection conditions as in patent application CN104093415B. Direct conjugation of VG1-Fc and TSG-6-Fc proteins with the primary amine activator NHS-PEG4-biotin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was carried out according to the kit instructions. Take 200 μl of 1 mg / ml protein in PBS system and incubate with the corresponding volume of 20 mM NHS-PEG4-biotin reagent on ice for 2 hours or at room temperature for 30 - 60 minutes, and then purify and collect the labeled protein through the Zeba TM Spin Desalting Column in the kit. The N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (NHS) group of NHS-PEG4-biotin specifically and efficiently reacts with lysine and N-terminal amino acids at pH 7 - 9 to form stable amide bonds. The hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer arm imparts water solubility to the biotinylated molecule, reducing the aggregation of biotinylated proteins stored in solution. The PEG spacer arm can also provide a long and flexible connection for the biotinylation reagent, minimizing the steric hindrance associated with the binding of the biotinylated protein molecule.

[0068] Take 1 mg / ml hyaluronic acid solution and dilute it 10-fold with 0.5 mol / L sodium carbonate solution (pH 9.6). Mix well and add 100 μl per well into a 96-well plate. Coat overnight at 2 - 8°C. Biotinylated VG1 dimer protein and TSG-6-Fc protein are diluted starting from 10 nM, then serially diluted 10-fold to 1 nM, and further serially diluted 2-fold for 5 points, resulting in a total of 7 concentration points, which are added to the 96-well plate coated with hyaluronic acid, 100 μl per well, and incubated at 37°C for about 1 hour. Detect with HRP-labeled Streptavidin (Beyotime Biotechnology) enzyme-linked antibody, then develop color with TMB substrate, and measure the absorbance value at 450 / 630 nm using a Molecular Devices, Spectra Max M2e microplate reader. Biotinylated VG1-Fc still showed significantly higher affinity than biotinylated TSG-6-Fc on the HA-coated plate. At a concentration of 1 nM, the OD450nm values of VG1-Fc and TSG-6-Fc proteins were 0.99 ± 0.01 and 0.14, respectively, P < 0.01( Figure 4 ).

[0069] Example 5. Immunohistochemical application of VG1 dimer protein

[0070] Detect the expression of HA in normal human skin tissue by immunohistochemistry. Dewax and rehydrate paraffin-embedded sections of normal human skin tissue. First, place the sections in xylene for 10 minutes, twice, and then successively in 100%, 95%, 85%, and 75% ethanol, for 5 - 10 minutes at each step. Then wash with distilled water for 5 minutes. Place the sections in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) and heat for antigen retrieval for 8 minutes, and cool naturally to room temperature. Rinse three times with PBS, 3 minutes each time. Use 3% H 2 O 2 Incubate for 15 minutes to block endogenous peroxidase, and then rinse three times with PBS, 3 minutes each time.

[0071] Three experimental groups were set up: the PH20 pretreatment group, the normal experimental group, and the negative control group. The sections of the PH20 pretreatment group were placed in a solution of recombinant human PH20 (Rhinobio) diluted to approximately 90 units / ml with enzyme diluent and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours; the other normal experimental group and the negative control group were directly placed in the enzyme diluent and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. After incubation, 50 - 100 μl of goat serum was added dropwise and incubated in an incubator at 37°C for 20 minutes, and then centrifuged dry without washing. The sections of the PH20 pretreatment group were added dropwise with a 20 μg / ml VG1 dimer protein solution, the normal experimental group was added dropwise with different concentrations of VG1 solutions of 20, 2, 0.2, and 0.04 μg / ml, and the negative control group was added dropwise with an equal amount of PBS, incubated overnight in a refrigerator at 4°C, and rewarmed in an incubator at 37°C for 1.5 hours. All sections were taken out of the incubator, rinsed three times with PBS for 3 minutes each time, added dropwise with 50 - 100 μl of HRP-labeled Streptavidin (Beyotime Biotechnology), and incubated in an incubator at 37°C for 20 minutes. Rinsed three times with PBS for 3 minutes each time, and then developed color with DAB chromogenic solution (AURAGENE), incubated at room temperature for 1 - 5 minutes, and controlled the reaction time under the microscope. The developed slides were washed with distilled water, immersed in hematoxylin for counterstaining for 3 - 5 seconds, rinsed with distilled water, and blued with PBS. Dehydrated with alcohols of various grades (60 - 100%) for 5 minutes each. After taking out, placed in xylene for 10 minutes, twice, sealed with neutral gum, observed under a microscope, photographed, and the results are as Figure 5 shown.

[0072] By the above immunohistochemical method, the appropriate concentration range of the VG1 dimer protein was selected, and its optimal working concentration was shown to be 0.2 - 2 μg / ml.

[0073] In summary, it can be seen that the VG1-Fc dimer protein and the VG1 dimer protein obtained in the present invention have a higher affinity for hyaluronic acid than the prior art, and at the same time, they also show better detection effects in immunohistochemical experiments.
