Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an enterovirus vector and its application, belonging to the field of biomedical technology. Background Technology

[0002] Enteroviruses belong to the family Picornaviridae, specifically the family Single-stranded Positive-sense RNAviridae. The genus comprises 15 species, namely Enterovirus A-I and Rhinovirus A-C. Common enteroviruses include Enterovirus A71 (EVA71), Coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10), Human rhinovirus A1 (HRVA1), and Poliovirus (PV). The viral genome is approximately 7.5 kb in length and consists of a 5' Untranslated Region (5'UTR), a coding region, and a 3' Untranslated Region (3'UTR). After infecting a cell, the virus releases its genomic RNA into the cytoplasm for replication and translation. The viral genome contains a reading frame. First, translation occurs in the cytoplasm to form a polyprotein comprising both structural and non-structural proteins. Subsequently, virally encoded proteases 2A and 3C cleave the polyprotein to form four mature structural proteins—VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4—and seven non-structural proteins—2A, 2B, 2C, 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D. Enterovirus genome replication occurs within the replication complex (RO) located in the cytoplasm. Mature replication-related proteins enter the RO helper RNA for replication, while structural proteins encapsulate the viral RNA to form icosahedral mature viral particles, which are then released extracellularly.

[0003] Enterovirus infection can trigger a systemic mucosal immune response, making it a highly promising viral vector. Enterovirus genome-based vector research falls into two main categories based on vector structure: one uses the full-length viral genome as a vector, directly inserting the foreign gene into the viral reading frame. These vectors can self-replicate and produce mature viral particles while expressing the foreign protein; the other uses replicones (sequences lacking part or all of the structural protein genome) as vectors, placing the foreign protein sequence within the viral structural protein coding region. These vectors can self-replicate, but lack the viral structural protein to produce mature viral particles when expressing the foreign protein. Since the enterovirus life cycle is entirely within the cytoplasm, enterovirus genome-based vectors, while capable of expressing exogenous cytoplasmic proteins, struggle to express exogenous proteins carrying signal peptides, such as membrane proteins and secretory proteins. For example, according to literature, PVreplicon vectors cannot directly express influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA); only when the vector is designed as a bicistronic vector can HA protein be successfully expressed. However, studies have also shown that the genomes of these bicistronic enteroviruses are unstable and are completely lost after only a few passages. Therefore, unmodified enterovirus vectors are unable to express various immunogens that are mainly glycoproteins (membrane proteins or secretory proteins with signal peptides), limiting the development and application of enterovirus vectors.

[0004] Gluc luciferase is a novel luciferase isolated from large marine copepods. The luminescence intensity of the reaction catalyzing the oxidation of the substrate coelenterate by Gluc is stronger than that of firefly luciferase (Fluc). Unlike traditional Fluc, Gluc contains a secreted signal peptide, making it a naturally occurring secreted protein. This makes it particularly suitable as a vector for vector-based research, serving as a reporter gene carrying the signal peptide.

[0005] This invention uses Glucoside as a reporter gene and optimizes the transmembrane region sequence of exogenous proteins to enable enteroviral vectors to successfully express exogenous membrane proteins. Furthermore, based on the transmembrane region design, the addition of Furin recognition and T2A cleavage sites successfully expressed exogenous secreted proteins. In addition, this invention also marks the first successful preparation of an infectious CA16 clone carrying a membrane protein reporter gene and the rescue of the CA16-memHiBiT reporter virus. These designs enable enteroviral vectors to overcome their inherent limitations and express exogenous proteins with subcellular localization, thus broadening the application scope of enteroviral vectors. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problem of how to stably express exogenous proteins carrying signal peptides in enterovirus vectors.

[0011] The present invention provides an enterovirus vector capable of expressing secretory proteins, the enterovirus vector comprising the above-mentioned enterovirus vector capable of expressing other membrane proteins and a cleavage site fragment; the cleavage site fragment includes at least a Furin recognition region of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.8, an mFurin recognition region of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.9, or a T2A of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.10.

[0012] This invention provides the application of an enterovirus vector capable of expressing secretory proteins in the preparation of vaccines and antiviral drugs.

[0013] This invention provides a method for constructing an infectious CA16 clone carrying a membrane-display reporter gene. Using pSVA-CA16 as a template, the memHiBiT membrane-display reporter gene is introduced, and through seamless recombination cloning, a sequenced pSVA-CA16-memHiBiT infectious clone is obtained. The nucleotide sequence of the CA16-memHiBiT is shown in SEQ ID NO.11. The memHiBi membrane-display reporter gene fragment is inserted between the 5'UTR and the P1 fragment.

[0014] This invention provides an application of an infectious CA16 clone carrying a membrane-display reporter gene in screening antiviral drugs.

[0015] This invention provides a method for constructing an enterovirus vector capable of expressing other membrane proteins. Using a vector constructed with the genome of a serotype enterovirus as a backbone as a template, different transmembrane region fragments are amplified by PCR. Then, through seamless cloning, clones with different transmembrane region fragments are constructed. Clones that are verified by sequencing are screened, and plasmids are extracted and preserved. The transmembrane region fragments include at least the nucleotide sequence PDGFRβTM shown in SEQ ID NO.3, SpikeTM shown in SEQ ID NO.4, CD28TM shown in SEQ ID NO.5, PDGFRβ+SpikeTM shown in SEQ ID NO.6, or Linker+TM+Linker shown in SEQ ID NO.7.

[0016] This invention provides a method for constructing an enterovirus vector capable of expressing secretory proteins, comprising the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: Using vector one, constructed with the genome of a serotype virus in the Enterovirus genus as a backbone, as a template, different transmembrane fragments are amplified by PCR. Then, through seamless cloning, vector two with different transmembrane fragments is constructed. Clones that are verified by sequencing are screened, and plasmids are extracted and preserved. The transmembrane fragments include at least the nucleotide sequence PDGFRβTM shown in SEQ ID NO.3, the nucleotide sequence SpikeTM shown in SEQ ID NO.4, the nucleotide sequence CD28TM shown in SEQ ID NO.5, the nucleotide sequence PDGFRβ+SpikeTM shown in SEQ ID NO.6, or the nucleotide sequence Linker+TM+Linker shown in SEQ ID NO.7.

[0018] Step 2: Using the vector 2 obtained in Step 1 as a template, seamless cloning technology is used to introduce cleavage site fragments respectively; thereby constructing an enterovirus vector 3 that can express secretory proteins; the cleavage site fragments include at least the Furin recognition region of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 8, the mFurin recognition region of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 9, or the T2A of the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 10.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The EV71replicon vector in this invention is constructed based on PL451 as a backbone. The luciferase reporter gene is inserted between the 5'UTR of the replicon and the P2 gene, which is beneficial to the efficient expression of the exogenous gene.

[0021] 2. Based on the life cycle characteristics of enteroviruses, this invention designs a transmembrane region applicable to all enterovirus vectors. Exogenous proteins carrying this transmembrane region can be translated normally without affecting the replication and translation of the enterovirus itself.

[0022] 3. Based on the transmembrane region design, the introduction of the Furin recognition region or the T2A sequence can enable enterovirus vectors to express secretory proteins; in addition, the combination of T2A and the Furin recognition region can further improve the efficiency of secretion.

[0023] 4. This invention overcomes the limitations of traditional enterovirus vectors by utilizing an optimized transmembrane region design and the introduction of T2A and Furin sites to achieve the expression of exogenous membrane-displaying and secretory proteins by enteroviruses. Common immunogenic proteins are mostly glycoproteins; the design of this invention allows enterovirus vectors to be applied to various fields such as vaccine development and tumor immunotherapy.

[0024] 5. This invention utilizes the novel transmembrane region design described above to construct an infectious CA16 clone carrying a membrane-display reporter gene: pSVA-CA16-memHiBiT. After transfecting cells with RNA transcribed from this clone in vitro, CA16-memHiBiT viral particles carrying the memHiBiT luciferase reporter gene are produced. Cell infection experiments have verified the activity of the reporter gene carried by this recombinant virus and confirmed that the virus can also induce cytopathic effects in cultured cell lines. This indicates that the recombinant virus possesses similar growth characteristics and other virological features to its parent virus. Furthermore, this novel infectious CA16 clone can serve as a powerful tool for basic and applied research related to the CA16 virus.

[0025] 6. This invention verifies, through luciferase activity assay, that the CA16-memHiBiT virus rescued by the CA16 infectious clone carrying the memHiBiT luciferase reporter gene constructed in this invention can be stably passaged in Vero cells for more than 20 times in vitro without a decrease in luciferase activity. In existing reports, viruses rescued by enterovirus infectious clones carrying exogenous genes can only be stably passaged in cells for a maximum of 5 times. The CA16-memHiBiT virus rescued by this invention has high genetic stability. Stable CA16-memHiBiT virus will provide a more efficient and user-friendly tool for subsequent viral mechanism research and antiviral drug screening. Attached Figure Description
