Description

[0002] Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA enveloped virus that can cause severe reproductive disorders in boars and sows and respiratory diseases in piglets. In addition, the virus can cause severe immunosuppression in the host, leading to secondary infections with opportunistic pathogens, resulting in severe economic losses.

[0003] The genome of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus is about 15kb, and its ORF2 to ORF7 encode GP2a, GP3, GP4, GP5, M and N proteins respectively. In addition, there is a reading frame encoding E protein in ORF2, and ORF5 contains a reading frame encoding GP5a. On the viral envelope, GP5 and M proteins form heterodimers through disulfide bonds, and GP2a, GP3 and GP4 form heterotrimers. GP5-M dimers may be related to binding to the host receptor CD169, but GP5 monomer protein is difficult to prepare in vitro, and its specific pathogenic mechanism in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome symptoms is still unclear.

[0004] The in vitro preparation of GP5 protein has great application prospects for the production of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus gene vaccines, but GP5 is a membrane protein, which makes in vitro preparation very difficult. The GP5 protein prepared using conventional Escherichia coli as a production vector needs to be connected to trigger factors and other tags to promote its expression, making it difficult to obtain GP5 protein that relies on its own gene expression.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them.

Those without specifying the manufacturer of reagents or instruments used are conventional products that can be purchased commercially. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing in the full text includes three parallel schemes, and "A and / or B" is taken as an example, including schemes A, B, or A and B that meet the same time. In addition, the technical schemes between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to achieve. When the combination of the technical schemes is contradictory or cannot be achieved, it should be considered that the combination of such technical schemes does not exist, and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work, all belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Since the existing GP5 protein is difficult to express by its own gene, it is difficult to obtain GP5 protein monomer. The present invention provides a GP5 protein, wherein the GP5 protein has a GP5 protein active part, and the GP5 protein active part is shown in SEQ ID NO:1.

[0039] In the present invention, the amino acid sequence of GP5 protein is optimized so that it can be expressed in a soluble form only by its own gene. At the same time, experimental verification shows that the recombinant protein of the present invention can have a good effect on inducing an immune response of an organism to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

[0040] In some embodiments, the GP5 recombinant protein also has a tag protein connected to the N-terminus and / or C-terminus of the active part of the GP5 protein. By connecting the tag protein, it is convenient to purify the protein without affecting the activity and self-expression of the protein. Specifically, the tag protein is connected to the C-terminus of the active part of the GP5 protein, and the sequence of the GP5 recombinant protein containing the tag protein is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.

[0041] In addition, the present invention also provides a coding gene sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 3. By optimizing the codons of the active part of the GP5 protein and the coding gene of the GP5 protein at the same time, the soluble expression amount of the GP5 protein in Escherichia coli can be increased.

[0042] In addition, the present invention provides a vector containing the above coding gene, wherein the vector is a plasmid or an engineered bacterium. The GP5 protein is prepared by using the vector containing the above coding gene as a raw material.

[0043] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned GP5 protein, and the method for preparing the GP5 recombinant protein comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step S10: constructing a recombinant plasmid containing a gene encoding the active part of the GP5 protein;

[0045] Step S20: transferring the recombinant plasmid into competent cells and inducing expression to obtain a GP5 expression strain;

[0046] Step S30: extracting the expressed protein from the GP5 expression strain to obtain the GP5 recombinant protein.

[0047] The process of preparing the GP5 protein of the present invention is simple, which is conducive to the scaled-up production of the GP5 protein and is conducive to industrial application.

[0048] Step S10 includes:

[0049] Step S101: using a GP5 amplification primer pair to clone the gene encoding the GP5 protein as a template to obtain a GP5 gene amplified fragment containing a restriction site, wherein the sequence of the GP5 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, and correspondingly, the sequence of the gene encoding the GP5 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO: 3;

[0050] Step S102: Connect the GP5 gene amplified fragment to the vector plasmid to obtain the recombinant plasmid.

[0051] It should be noted that the GP5 amplification primer pair can be selected according to the amplification effect. In the present invention, the sequence of the GP5 amplification primer pair is shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 to 5. In step S102, the vector plasmid is not limited as long as it can be connected to the GP5 connection product, and can be specifically a pET28a(+) plasmid.

[0052] In some embodiments, step S20 includes:

[0053] After the recombinant plasmid is introduced into the competent cells derived from Escherichia coli, isopropylthiogalactoside is used to induce expression to obtain the GP5 expression strain.

[0054] Escherichia coli is an important carrier for plasmid expansion production, which can well expand the yield of plasmid. However, the GP5 protein of the existing amino acid sequence is either unable to be expressed using the vector, or the expression is in the form of inclusion bodies, which greatly increases the subsequent renaturation process. The present invention optimizes the amino acid codons and the coding gene to enable soluble expression in the competent cells of Escherichia coli, which not only expands its yield, but also greatly shortens the preparation process. It should also be noted that the method in which expression can be induced is not limited. In the present invention, IPTG is used for expression.

[0055] Under the premise that extraction can be performed, the extraction method is not limited. Specifically, step S30 specifically includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S301: The GP5 expression strain is sequentially crushed, centrifuged and filtered, and the bacterial liquid is collected.

[0057] Step S302: using an eluent containing imidazole to perform column chromatography on the bacterial solution using a nickel column affinity chromatography method;

[0058] Step S303: dialyzing and filtering the bacterial solution after the column chromatography in sequence to obtain the GP5 recombinant protein.

[0059] In addition, the present invention also provides the use of the above GP5 protein or the above method for preparing the GP5 protein in preparing a preparation for inducing an immune response of an organism to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

[0060] In the present invention, an animal model was constructed using pigs to verify that the recombinant protein of the present invention can induce an immune response of an organism to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus.

[0061] Specifically, the application includes compounding GP234 protein and GP5 protein for use, wherein the sequence of the GP234 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO:6.

[0062] By combining with GP234 protein, it can have a good preventive and therapeutic effect on NADC30-like strains.

[0063] In the present invention, the compound adjuvant used in the present invention is a litchi-shaped nano zinc oxide cluster adjuvant (patent publication number: CN113616787A), and its preparation method is:

[0064] 1. Add 1.1 g zinc acetate into a round-bottom flask containing 50 mL diethylene glycol, and stir magnetically at 300 rpm for 30 min to fully dissolve the zinc acetate for later use;

[0065] 2. Place the round-bottom flask containing the above solution in silicone oil at 180°C and preheat for 10 minutes. During the heating process, stir the solution evenly by magnetic stirring at a speed of 500 rpm.

[0066] 3. Under continuous magnetic stirring at 500 rpm, deionized water was quickly added to the preheated solution at a volume ratio of water to diethylene glycol of 1:50 to initiate hydrolysis of the zinc salt. The solution became turbid after heating for 10 min, indicating that the lychee-shaped nano-zinc oxide clusters were successfully synthesized.

[0067] 4. Remove the heat source and continue magnetic stirring until the solution cools to room temperature. The product is diluted with an equal volume of ethanol, centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 min to collect the zinc oxide nanocluster precipitate, add an appropriate amount of ethanol and disperse the precipitate under the assistance of ultrasound, then collect the zinc oxide clusters by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 5 min, and repeat the above steps 3 times to obtain a purified litchi-shaped nano zinc oxide cluster adjuvant. The protein prepared by the above adjuvant and the present invention has higher compatibility.

[0068] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings. It should be understood that the following embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] This embodiment provides the construction of a recombinant plasmid and a recombinant Escherichia coli expression strain, which has the following steps:

[0071] 1) Codon optimization and gene synthesis

[0072] The GP5 coding sequence was optimized according to the codon preference of E. coli and synthesized by Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

[0073] 2) Cloning

[0074] The synthetic GP5 coding gene (SEQ ID NO: 3) was amplified by PCR using primers F1 / R1 (F1: SEQ ID NO: 4; R2: SEQ ID NO: 5) using Takara's Primestar@ high-fidelity enzyme. The amplified gene fragment was identified by 0.8% agarose gel electrophoresis to meet the target band size ( Figure 1), the amplified gene fragment was purified using Omega's Cyclepure kit, and the operation was carried out according to the instructions of the kit. Then, GP5 was double-digested with restriction endonucleases NcoI and XhoI in a 37°C water bath, and the digestion system was: 7μl of target gene, 1μl of NcoI and XhoI, and 1μl of 10×buffer. Then, the amplified gene fragment was purified using Omega's Cyclepure kit, and the operation was carried out according to the instructions of the kit. At the same time, the pET28a(+) plasmid was also double-digested and purified with restriction endonucleases NcoI and XhoI in a similar manner. Then, Takara's T4 DNA Ligase was used to connect the plasmid and gene after double digestion with NcoI and XhoI, and the connection system was: 7μl of target gene, 1μl of plasmid, 1μ of T4 DNA Ligase and 1μl of 10×buffer. The ligation system was connected in a 4°C refrigerator overnight, and then transformed into BL21 (DE3) competent cells (purchased from Beijing Qingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) according to the operating instructions, and then coated with LB agar medium containing 50 μg / ml kanamycin sulfate and cultured in a 37°C constant temperature incubator for 16 to 18 hours. Single colonies were picked for PCR identification, the primers were T7 / T7ter, and the DNA polymerase was Taq@ produced by Takara (results see Figure 2 ), Figure 2 In the figure, M is Marker, lane 1 is transformant 1, lane 2 is transformant 2, lane 3 is transformant 3, lane 4 is transformant 4, lane 5 is transformant 5, and the recombinant Escherichia coli expressing recombinant GP5 were named BL21(DE3)-GP5.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] The expression method of the recombinant GP5 protein in this example is as follows:

[0077] Pick a single colony of BL21(DE3)-GP5, inoculate 10 ml of LB medium containing 50 μg / ml kanamycin sulfate, and culture overnight at 37°C with shaking at 180 rpm. Then take 1% (v / v) of the overnight cultured bacterial solution and inoculate it into 200 ml of LB medium containing antibiotics. After culturing for 3.5 hours, add IPTG at a final concentration of 0.5 mM, lower the culture temperature to 25°C, and induce for 16 hours. Then centrifuge at 8000 rpm for 5 minutes to collect the bacterial sludge, resuspend the bacterial sludge with 1 / 10 volume of PBS, and perform SDS-PAGE analysis of recombinant protein expression after ultrasonic disruption (see Figure 3 ), Figure 31 is the supernatant of optimized GP5 induced expression, 2 is the precipitate of optimized GP5 induced expression, 3 is the supernatant of unoptimized GP5 (coding gene as shown in SEQ ID NO: 14), and 4 is the precipitate of unoptimized GP5 expression. By optimizing the coding gene, the yield of soluble expression is increased.

[0078] Example 3

[0079] This example provides a method for purifying a recombinant protein and identifying its reactogenicity, and the operation is as follows:

[0080] The bacterial sludge collected by centrifugation was resuspended with PBS, and the ratio of bacterial sludge to PBS was 1:10 (W / V). It was broken with a high-pressure homogenizer, and the parameters were 1000bar and cyclically broken 3 times. After the broken bacterial solution was centrifuged at 10000rpm for 15min, the supernatant was taken and filtered with a 0.45μm filter membrane. After the nickel ion affinity chromatography column was equilibrated with PBS, the filtered bacterial solution was added at 1ml / min to allow the recombinant protein to bind to the nickel ions of the chromatography column through the histidine tag, and then the chromatography column was rinsed with PBS containing 100mM imidazole to remove non-target proteins, and finally the target protein was eluted with PBS containing 500mM imidazole. The purified protein was dialyzed to remove imidazole, and then sterilized by filtration with a 0.2μm filter membrane. The immunoblotting experiment was performed in accordance with "Molecular Cloning", in which the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus positive serum was diluted 500 times, and the horseradish peroxidase-labeled rabbit anti-pig secondary antibody was diluted 3000 times. The results showed that GP5 protein could react with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus positive serum ( Figure 4 ), indicating that the expressed proteins all have corresponding biological activities, Figure 4 To verify GP5 by immunoblotting, the GP5 protein shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 was obtained by sequencing.

[0081] Example 4

[0082] This embodiment provides a method for preparing GP234 protein, and its operation is generally consistent with that of GP5 protein, except that the amino acid sequence of GP234 protein is shown in SEQ ID NO: 6, its coding gene sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 7, and its amplification primer pair sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 8-9.

[0083] Comparative Example 1

[0084] The present comparative example provides a method for preparing a Trigger factor-GP5 protein, and the operation is substantially the same as that of Examples 1 to 3, except that the sequence of the Trigger factor-GP5 protein is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 10, the coding sequence thereof is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 11, the amplification primer pair is as shown in SEQ ID NO: 12 to 13, and TEV enzyme is added to the expression supernatant and digested at 30° C. for 16 h.

[0085] The results of SDS-PAGE electrophoresis of the fusion expression of trigger factor and GP5 and the fusion protein before and after TEV digestion are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 In the figure, M is a protein marker, 1 is the whole bacteria expressing the fusion of Trigger factor and GP5, 2 is the supernatant expressing the fusion of Triggerfactor and GP5, 3 is the supernatant expressing the fusion of Triggerfactor and GP5 without adding TEV enzyme, and 4 is the supernatant expressing the fusion of Triggerfactor and GP5 with TEV enzyme added and digested at 30℃ for 16h. The arrow indicates the position of the fusion protein of Triggerfactor and GP5, and the asterisk indicates the position of the TEV enzyme.

[0086] The results showed that after adding the Trigger factor for fusion expression, the Trigger factor could not be removed, and the pure GP5 protein could not be obtained in this comparative example.

[0087] From Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the GP5 amino acids were optimized for preparation, and the GP5 protein expressed only by GP5 itself was prepared.

[0088] Embodiments 5 to 8

[0089] This embodiment provides a vaccine, and the preparation method includes:

[0090] The GP5 recombinant protein of Example 3 and the GP234 recombinant protein of Example 4 were diluted to 1000 μg / ml with sterile PBS, mixed with the litchi-shaped nano zinc oxide cluster adjuvant, and prepared into a vaccine after high-speed stirring and shearing emulsification. The vaccine was stored at 4°C for later use. The vaccine was prepared according to the components and contents of Examples 5 to 8 in Table 1 to obtain a vaccine preparation.

[0091] Table 1 Components and contents of vaccines in Examples 5 to 8 Vaccine configuration

[0092]

[0093]

[0094] Example 9

[0095] This example provides a vaccine safety test, and the operating steps are as follows:

[0096] 1) Five mice weighing 18-22g were used, and each mouse was subcutaneously injected with 0.5ml of the vaccine. No deaths or obvious adverse reactions or systemic reactions caused by the vaccine were observed for 7 consecutive days.

[0097] 2) Five weaned piglets aged 21 to 28 days were injected with 2 ml of the vaccine into the neck muscle and observed daily. No local or systemic adverse reactions were caused by the injection of the vaccine.

[0098] Example 10

[0099] This embodiment provides a vaccine effectiveness test, and the operating steps are as follows:

[0100] 1) Immune challenge test

[0101] Marc145 cells were cultured in cell bottles, and the cells were subcultured to 96-well culture plates 48 hours before the determination of the virus content. They were cultured in a 37°C cell culture incubator with 5% CO2 for 2 days to form a monolayer of cells. The virus solution was diluted 10 times in a gradient, and 3 dilutions of 10-4, 10-5, and 10-6 were taken to inoculate the Marc145 cell monolayer of a 96-well culture plate. Each dilution was repeated for 6 wells, 0.2 ml / well; then placed in a constant temperature incubator for 5 days. Observe CPE and calculate TCID50 according to the Reed-Muench method. Dilute the virus solution to 105.0TCID50 / ml with sterile PBS for virus attack.

[0102] Five healthy piglets with negative PRRSV antibodies at 25 to 30 days of age were injected with 1 ml of the vaccine preparation of Example 5 into the neck muscle of each piglet, and 1 ml was boosted 21 days later; the other 8 healthy piglets with negative PRRSV antibodies were not immunized. 14 days after the second immunization, 5 immunized pigs and 5 non-immunized pigs were injected with 2 ml of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus NADC30-like strain DB strain (105.0TCID50 / ml) by intramuscular injection and observed for 3 consecutive weeks. Judgment was made based on clinical symptoms. The other 3 non-immunized pigs were not challenged with the virus and served as blank controls.

[0103] 2) Body temperature, clinical symptoms, and autopsy

[0104] Before the virus attack, the body temperature was measured once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and the average value was taken as the basal body temperature. After the virus attack, the body temperature was measured once every morning for 21 consecutive days. At the same time, the clinical symptoms of each pig were recorded, including respiratory symptoms, mental state, appetite, etc. The results showed that there was no obvious change in the body temperature of the unimmunized and unchallenged piglets. The body temperature of the unimmunized piglets that were challenged with the virus began to rise after the virus attack and continued until the end of the experiment. Clinical symptoms included shortness of breath, loss of appetite, and mental depression. The body temperature of the immunized group of piglets increased by ≤1°C 1 to 4 days after the virus attack, then decreased, and returned to normal on the 7th day ( Figure 5 ). During the stage of elevated body temperature, appetite decreased to a certain extent, and only two piglets showed mild respiratory symptoms on the 4th day. After autopsy, typical lesions appeared in the lungs of non-immune piglets after challenge, including congestion and necrosis of the apical lobe of almost all piglets, and swelling of other parts of the lungs. However, shrimp-like lesions appeared in the lungs of only one piglet after challenge, indicating that the vaccine of the present invention has a good immune response effect.
