TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of immunology, in particular to a polypeptide, i.e. a novel antigen UP protein fragment of human echinococcosis, a nucleic acid sequence and application thereof in preparation of a drug for detecting or treating human echinococcosis. BACKGROUND

[0002] Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a zoonosis. Human echinococcosis is mainly divided into cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis. Imaging detection is the most intuitive and most commonly used method for diagnosing echinococcosis, but because the incubation period of echinococcosis is long, and only when the cyst formed by echinococcosis reaches a certain size can it be detected by imaging, serological detection is one of the important auxiliary means for imaging diagnosis of echinococcosis. At present, the serological diagnostic antigens that can be used to diagnose echinococcosis mainly include Antigen B (Antigen B) and Antigen 5 (Antigen 5) and some recombinant antigens related to the two antigens.

[0003] It is a technical difficulty to extract and identify echinococcal proteins from the cysts of postoperative echinococcosis patients. It will be more difficult to select proteins that may serve as echinococcal antigens from the few echinococcal proteins identified.

[0004] Secondly, the single antigen is few. The most widely used echinococcal diagnostic antigen is Antigen B and Antigen 5, and many studies have shown that these two antigens will produce certain false positives or false negatives in serum detection.

[0005] Commercial echinococcal antigens are natural purified antigens, which are isolated and purified from soluble antigen fragments after crushing of fine-grained echinococcosis. It is a mixture containing multiple echinococcal proteins. The more mixed proteins, the more likely it is to produce more false negatives or false positives in serum detection. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The present application is further illustrated by the following examples, but the present application is not limited to the scope of the examples. The experimental methods in the following examples are not specified, and the methods are selected according to the conventional methods and conditions, or according to the product instructions.

[0031] Example 1: Process of identifying more echinococcus proteins from the cysts of echinococcosis patients after operation

[0032] (1) First, 10 cysts of echinococcosis patients after operation were divided into four parts according to their tissue structure, and proteins were extracted from the inside out, i.e., the protoscolex, the cyst fluid, the germinal layer and the cuticula layer; and according to whether they were in the active stage, the 10 cysts were divided into the active cyst group and the non-active cyst group.

[0033] (2) Protein extraction was performed on each of the four components of the cyst, and the extracted protein was subjected to liquid enzymatic hydrolysis, followed by LC-MS / MS identification using QE mass spectrometer;

[0034] (3) The raw data from QE was subjected to protein identification using maxquant protein identification software, using a combined database of human and echinococcus proteins, and the identification results were counted and the parts of the cyst with more echinococcus protein content were determined, as shown in Tables 1 and 2;

[0035] (4) From Tables 1 and 2, two basic conclusions can be drawn: first, the parts with more echinococcus proteins identified are the cyst fluid and the protoscolex; second, only the cyst fluid and the protoscolex parts of the active cyst group contain more echinococcus proteins.

[0036] Table 1 Protein identification results of the active cyst group

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] _1 represents the protoscolex; _2 represents the cyst fluid; _3 represents the germinal layer; and _4 represents the cuticula layer.

[0041]

[0042] _1 indicates protoscolex; _2 indicates cyst fluid; _3 indicates germinal layer; _4 indicates cuticula.

[0043] Example 2: Western Blot verification, in-gel digestion and mass spectrometry identification (GeLC-MS / MS)

[0044] (1) Next, according to the QE identification results of the cyst fluid and protoscolex of the 10 samples, we selected the protoscolex and cyst fluid components of the five active cyst groups No. 1-No. 5 to perform WB experiments with patient serum in order to verify whether there is an immune response between the serum of echinococcosis patients and normal Tibetans and the extracted whole protein.

[0045] (2) Because the total amount of protein extracted from the protoscolex component of some samples is very small, we mainly performed Western Blotting experiments on the cyst fluid component protein, and the results are shown in Figure 1 As an example, the immune response map of the serum of echinococcosis patients and normal Tibetans to the five cyst fluid component proteins is shown. The immune response maps of other patient serum and normal Tibetan serum to the proteins of the five samples are similar to those of No. 1 patient.

[0046] (3) According to the SDS-PAGE map of the five cyst fluid components, we performed in-gel digestion on the SDS-PAGE gel by comparing the WB immune bands in order to identify more echinococcosis proteins in the corresponding molecular weight segments through in-gel separation, thereby increasing the probability of finding echinococcosis antigens that have an immune response with serum. In addition, this can reduce the impact of high-abundance proteins on identification.

[0047] (4) In order to reduce losses and workload, we uniformly divided the five cyst fluid component proteins into 10 components according to the WB immune bands, and then each component was subjected to in-gel digestion.

[0048] (5) After LC-MS / MS analysis by QE-HF-X mass spectrometer, the maxquant software used the same database as in 2.2.1 for protein library identification. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0049] (6) Through data analysis, it can be known that the echinococcosis proteins identified by in-gel separation of the three samples 1_2, 2_2 and 5_2 contain the echinococcosis proteins identified by the other four samples, so the subsequent candidate of echinococcosis antigens is searched from the echinococcosis proteins identified from each component of the three samples.

[0051]

[0052] The number in the bracket represents the total identified proteins, and the number outside the bracket represents the hydatid proteins in each component. _2 represents cystic fluid.

[0053] Example 3: Screening of hydatid proteins as candidate antigens

[0054] (1) The common proteins identified in the same component in three samples were used as a candidate antigen library, and finally 10 components produced a total of 93 unique proteins.

[0055] (2) The 93 proteins were first subjected to homology comparison with the human protein database, and after deleting proteins with high homology and those already selected as hydatid antigens, the remaining proteins were subjected to B cell antigen epitope prediction.

[0056] Example 4: Antigen epitope prediction and construction of recombinant plasmid

[0057] (1) The antigen epitope prediction used an online prediction tool http: / / tools.iedb.org / bcell / , the protein sequence was imported, and the Bepipred Linear Epitope Prediction 2.0 prediction method was selected, i.e. the sequence list about the possible antigen epitope of the protein was obtained.

[0058] (2) We selected the sequence fragments containing one or more epitopes according to the antigen epitope list of each candidate protein to form the sequence of the recombinant protein, and imported the sequence into the alignment tool for comparison with the human protein database. Only the sequence fragments with a similarity of <= 20% to human proteins were selected to construct the recombinant protein.

[0059] (3) Finally, 14 protein sequence fragments were inserted into pET-30a(+) plasmid by molecular cloning technology to construct recombinant plasmid, and the fragments were confirmed to have been inserted by sequencing.

[0060] Example 5: Expression and purification of recombinant protein

[0061] (1) The recombinant plasmid was transformed into BL21(DE3) for small-scale expression, and after confirming that the protein could be expressed and the molecular weight was correct, it was expanded.

[0062] (2) The collected bacterial solution was subjected to ultrasonic extraction of protein, and then subjected to nickel column purification by His-tag carried by the plasmid, Figure 2 The purification results of the recombinant protein constructed by the UP fragment of the application are shown.

[0063] Example 6: Western Blotting verification of UP recombinant protein

[0064] (1) Among the 14 recombinant proteins, 8 were successfully expressed, so the 8 purified recombinant proteins were respectively subjected to Western Blotting experiment with 9 postoperative patient sera, and the results showed that only 4 recombinant proteins had larger immune reaction with patient sera, among which the UP recombinant protein was contained, and the UP recombinant protein was subsequently used as a candidate of hydatid antigen for more patient serum ELISA verification test.

[0065] (2) Figure 1 Experiments proved that the whole protein of cyst fluid had strong immune reaction with patient serum, and had no reaction with normal Tibetan serum, and most of the protein bands causing immune reaction were not high-abundance protein bands; Figure 3 The WB experiment results of UP recombinant protein and commercial antigen Egr with 9 patient sera were shown, the immune reaction rate of UP recombinant protein was 56%, and the immune reaction rate of commercial antigen was 67%(only samples with obvious bands between 43KD and 34KD were counted). 4 The B cell antigen epitope, nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence of this recombinant protein were shown.

[0069] Example 7: ELISA experiment of recombinant antigen UP recombinant protein

[0070] The detected objects were 607 cases of B-ultrasound positive plasma(including suspected) and 636 cases of normal human plasma(definite negative), and the standard operation procedure of indirect ELISA was performed, and the results showed that the positive detection rate of UP recombinant protein was 90%, and the negative detection rate was 77%; while the same plasma was detected by commercial antigen Egr(product name: hydatid purified antigen Echinococcus granulosus, product number: YM-VI08, supplier: Hangzhou Yiminuo Biological Technology Co., Ltd.), the positive detection rate was 86%, and the negative detection rate was 92%.

[0071] 1. Specific operation steps of ELISA experiment

[0072] (1) Antigen quantification: Before coating, each antigen was blown evenly with a pipette, and the antigen was quantified using a micro-UV spectrophotometer to ensure that the protein was not degraded. No absorption peak at A280 indicates that the antigen amount is too low to be used for coating; if the protein precipitates or is insoluble, add 8M urea and blow evenly, then centrifuge to obtain the supernatant for concentration measurement.

[0073] (2) Coating: For the wall concentration and measurement of the contrast antigen, take the lower value; the coating amount is 2 μg / ml, 10 ml / plate, and the coating antigen amount is prepared according to the actual use amount; the coated ELISA plate is labeled with antigen number, name, label, coating date, and plate number, etc., and if the coating concentration is not 2 μg / ml, the coating concentration needs to be indicated. After labeling the ELISA plate, add the coating antigen, 100 μl / well, and coat overnight at 4°C or for 2 h at 37°C.

[0074] (3) Washing plate: After coating, the plate is washed once with a plate washer and dried on absorbent paper. The 50X washing solution is prepared as follows: Tris 154.4 g, NaCl 149.0 g, Tween 20 24.0 ml, pure water 800 ml, about 45 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid to adjust pH 7.2, and pure water to 1000 ml. Store at 4°C.

[0075] (4) Blocking: 2% skimmed milk powder is used as blocking solution for blocking, 200 μl / well, 4°C blocking overnight or 37°C blocking for 2 h.

[0076] (5) Washing plate: After blocking, the plate is washed once with a plate washer and dried on absorbent paper.

[0077] (6) Add primary antibody: Add the corresponding primary antibody, dilute the plasma with PBS at a ratio of 1:500, and incubate at 37°C for 1 h.

[0078] (7) Wash plate: Wash the plate with a plate washer for more than 3 times, and dry on absorbent paper.

[0079] (8) Add secondary antibody (manufacturer: Biyun Tian; item number: A0201): Since the primary antibody is derived from human plasma, goat anti-human 1:500 is used as the secondary antibody, and incubated at 37°C for 1 h.

[0080] (9) Wash plate: Wash the plate with a plate washer for more than 3 times, and dry on absorbent paper. At the same time, prepare the color developing solution (TMB).

[0081] (10) Color development: After preparing the stop solution, add 100 μl / well of color developing solution, shake the plate to accelerate the color development process, and observe closely.

[0082] (11) TMB color development: when the color development reaches a certain degree (generally, the blank and negative color development cannot be too high), 50 μl / well of stop solution is added, and after the addition of the stop solution, it needs to be rested for more than 10 min to make the termination thorough and the color uniform (the plate can be shaken to accelerate the termination process), and after termination, reading

[0083] (12) Reading: the enzyme label instrument must be preheated for more than 30 min; the TMB color development detection wavelength is 450 nm. Open the corresponding enzyme label instrument measurement software to read. Store the data to the designated position and perfect the data.

[0084] (13) Matters needing attention:

[0085] When adding samples to the 96-well plate with a gun, attention should be paid to avoid bubbles and to avoid the hanging of the added sample on the wall.

[0086] After adding the sample, the whole plate is observed, and it is required that there is no bubble at the bottom of the hole; when bubbles are found, the plate is shaken or the bubbles are removed with a gun head.

[0087] When washing the plate, close attention should be paid to ensure that the plate is completely and thoroughly washed.

[0088] When color development, close attention should be paid, combined with the color development of negative, blank and positive controls, and terminated in time.

[0089] (14) Various reagent formulations

[0090] Coating solution: sodium carbonate-sodium bicarbonate buffer, pH 9.6: Na2CO3 1.59 g, NaHCO3 2.93 g, and pure water to 1000 ml; finally, the pH value is detected with pH paper. Store at 4°C.

[0091] 2. ELISA result analysis

[0092] (1) Negative and positive judgment standard: the average value (X) of the negative serum sample is selected, the standard deviation (SD) is selected, and the upper limit of the confidence interval cut-off value is X+2SD. The OD value of the sample to be tested at 450 nm is greater than or equal to X+2SD, which can be judged as positive, and less than X+2SD, which can be judged as negative.

[0093] (2) ROC curve: MedCalc software (version 19.4.0) is used to draw the ROC curve (Receiver Operating Characteristic curve) to evaluate the optimal detection efficiency of the antigen.

[0094] (3) Through calculation, 607 cases of B-ultrasound positive plasma (including suspected) and 636 cases of normal human plasma (determined to be negative) are detected by using the hydatid antigen of the application, the sensitivity is 90%, and the specificity is 77%; and when the same plasma is detected by using the commercial antigen, the sensitivity is 86%, and the specificity is 92%.Figure 4 The ROC curve of UP recombinant protein and commercial antigen Egr and the box plot of detection OD value are shown.

[0095] (4) Although the specificity of UP recombinant protein is lower than that of commercial antigen, the sensitivity of UP recombinant protein is higher than that of commercial antigen, and the double feature ROC curve of UP recombinant antigen and commercial antigen Egr simulated by MedCalc software shows that the detection efficiency of the two antigens together is very good. It is shown that UP recombinant antigen can be used as a supplement to commercial antigen to retest the samples that are not detected positive by commercial antigen, so UP recombinant protein can be used as a candidate for new antigen of hydatid disease.
