Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biological medicine, and particularly to a polypeptide with binding affinity to HPV18E6 protein and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer death, with 604,000 new cases and 342,000 deaths in 2020. The occurrence and development of cervical cancer are highly related to persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV), among which the most common are high-risk serotypes HPV16 and HPV18. HPV16 accounts for about 62.6% of cervical tumors, and HPV18 is associated with about 37% of cervical adenocarcinoma and 12% of cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
[0003] HPV is a double-stranded DNA virus without envelope. The virus expresses early proteins such as E1, E2, E4, E5, E6 and E7, and late proteins such as major and minor capsid proteins L1 and L2. Integration of viral DNA into the host genome for viral replication is essential for the carcinogenic process induced by HPV. Genomic instability caused by viral oncoproteins E6 and E7 may be a key factor in triggering integration, which accelerates the occurrence of double-strand breaks in viral genomes and host DNA. Notably, HPV18E6, as a non-cellular oncoprotein, is not expressed in normal cells; E6 protein mainly causes degradation of tumor suppressor gene P53 by binding to cellular ubiquitin ligase (E6AP), which blocks cell cycle arrest or apoptosis, and also leads to increased DNA damage and telomerase activation, which contributes to immortalization and cancer development. Therefore, HPV18E6 oncoprotein is one of the ideal targets for HPV18-related tumor molecular diagnosis and targeted therapy.
[0004] Currently, cervical cancer is mainly diagnosed by detecting HPV DNA, but its diagnostic specificity is poor. Early cervical cancer has a good prognosis and can be cured by surgery, radiotherapy or comprehensive treatment, while advanced cervical cancer is mainly treated by local radiotherapy to improve the 5-year survival rate of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to study specific diagnostic methods and new treatment regimens.

The results showed that the resonance signal increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Figure 7 (A, B, C), and all affinities showed good binding affinity to the HPV18E6 recombinant protein; however, when TAT-Zwt flowed through the chip, no effective resonance signal could be detected. Figure 7 D). Furthermore, kinetic BIAcore analysis indicates that TAT-Z HPV18E6 4. TAT-Z HPV18E6 :59 and TAT-Z HPV18E6 The dissociation equilibrium constant (KD) of 352 is 1.663 × 10 -4mol / L, 3.761 × 10 - 6 mol / L and 2.803×10 -5 The dissociation constant of TAT-Zwt is 6.27 × 10⁻⁶ mol / L. -2 mol / L (Table 5). Z obtained after screening HPV18E6 The affinity for the target protein HPV18E6 reached the μM level, while Zwt showed almost no binding affinity to HPV18E6. This indicates that the screened affibody has a high affinity for the target protein HPV18E6 and can be used for subsequent experimental studies.

Experimental results show that the protein's affinity increases with TAT-Z. HPV18E6 The increase in TAT-Z with increasing protein concentration indicates that... HPV18E6 The binding affinity of the protein to HPV18E6 gradually increased; while the OD of the control protein TAT-Zwt increased. 450 The value did not change significantly with changes in TAT-Zwt protein concentration, and the OD 450 The values are all low, indicating that TAT-Zwt has almost no affinity for HPV18E6. Figure 8 A). Z HPV18E6OD value of the protein was diluted to 250 μg / mL 450 TAT-Zwt < TAT-Z HPV18E6 :4 < TAT-Z HPV18E6 :352 < TAT-Z HPV18E6 :59, and finally through statistical analysis, the Z HPV18E6 OD value of the protein 450 value was statistically different compared with TAT-Zwt (P < 0.05), indicating that the affinity of TAT-Z Figure 8 B), which showed that the affinity of TAT-Z HPV18E6 protein to HPV18E6 was TAT-Z HPV18E6 :4 < TAT-Z HPV18E6 :352 < TAT-Z HPV18E6 :59.
[0168] 2. TAT- Z HPV18E6 The binding affinity of TAT-Z
[0169] Immunoprecipitation (IP) identified the binding specificity of TAT-Z HPV18E6 to HeLa229 cells:
[0170] A. HeLa229 cell total protein extraction: place a 10 cm cell culture dish on ice, wash the infected cells with pre-cooled PBS twice; add 400 μL IP lysis buffer and lyse for 15 min on ice; use a cell scraper to scrape the adherent cell fragments into the lysis buffer, vortex to mix, and continue to lyse for 15 min; centrifuge at 13000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C; discard the precipitate and transfer the supernatant to a centrifuge tube;
[0171] B. Divide the protein supernatant into 4 groups and add 8 μg of TAT-Z HPV18E6 :4, TAT-Z HPV18E6 :59, TAT-Z HPV18E6 :352 and TAT-Zwt to capture the target protein, slowly bind at 4°C for 6 h, then add 1 μg of His-tag mouse monoclonal antibody as the binding antibody for affibody, and slowly bind at 4°C overnight;
[0172] C. The next day, add 30 μL of fully resuspended Protein A+G Agarose to each group and slowly bind at 4°C for 2 h;
[0173] D. Centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 min, discard the supernatant, and wash the precipitate with pre-cooled PBS 5 times, centrifuge at 2500 rpm for 5 min;
[0174] E. After the last wash, discard the supernatant, add 30 μL of 1x SDS-PAGE loading buffer, resuspend the pellet;
[0175] F. The metal bath was heated at 100 °C for 10 min, and after a brief high-speed centrifugation, it was used for subsequent experiments.
[0176] G. The SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and membrane transfer steps were the same as in the first part. The primary antibody was incubated with HPV18E6 monoclonal antibody (1:1000), and the subsequent steps were the same as in the first part.
[0177] IP experiments are commonly used to isolate individual proteins, facilitating the study of their characteristics, expression, or activation or modification state. To further confirm that TAT-Z HPV18E6 As the captured protein when capturing proteins, the captured protein is the target protein HPV18E6, we further select IP experiments for analysis and verification. First, use TAT-Z HPV18E6 or TAT-Zwt (as a negative control, containing His-tag) as the capture antibody for the natural target protein HPV18E6, adsorb and elute the target protein captured by each group, i.e., HeLa229 cell total protein, and then perform WB detection. The results show that when the three TAT-Z HPV18E6 proteins are used as capture antibodies, the captured proteins have obvious bands at a relative molecular mass of 17 kDa, indicating that the captured proteins can be recognized by the detection antibody; while the control group TAT-Zwt does not have obvious bands ( Figure 9 ). Further prove that TAT-Z HPV18E6 protein can specifically recognize and bind to target protein HPV18 E6.
