Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a Klebsiella pneumoniae KPC-Pal recombinant protein and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) frequently colonizes the human intestinal tract and respiratory tract and is a common opportunistic pathogen in clinical practice (Martin RM, et al. Front Cell Infect Microbiol, 2018). It can cause infections throughout the body, particularly in the elderly, those with malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, chronic diseases, and systemic failure. It can cause systemic or localized infections such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, meningitis, and sepsis, which can be life-threatening in severe cases (Akova M, et al. Clin Microbiol Infect, 2012). In recent years, the incidence of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) has increased annually in clinical practice. Due to its extreme drug resistance and pathogenicity, it has been dubbed the "king of superbugs," creating significant obstacles to clinical treatment and has therefore become a hot topic of research (Munoz-Price LS, et al. Lancet Infect Dis, 2013). It poses a serious threat to human health. Given its increasingly severe drug resistance, the development of new prevention and treatment methods is urgent. Vaccination can effectively protect the body from bacterial invasion and is unaffected by antibiotic resistance mechanisms, making it a very promising prevention and treatment method.
[0003] Due to limited safety, no inactivated Klebsiella pneumoniae vaccines are currently approved for marketing. With the continuous advancement of disciplines such as immunology, molecular biology, and nanoscience, the types and composition of bacterial vaccines have undergone significant changes, with the emergence of new vaccines such as polysaccharide vaccines, polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, protein vaccines, and nanovaccines (Hackett RJ, et al. Infect Immun, 1970). Whole-bacterial and inactivated vaccines utilize complex components and have relatively low safety. The immunogenicity of the polysaccharide component alone is poor, but immune efficacy can be enhanced by combining it with other components, such as carrier proteins. Recombinant subunit vaccines are a promising vaccine type.
[0004] KPC-2 and Pal are two candidate antigens for Klebsiella pneumoniae vaccines identified by the research team through reverse vaccinology. KPC-2 is a class A serine carbapenemase located on the bacterial surface. It is the most prevalent carbapenemase globally among Enterobacteriaceae, particularly K. pneumoniae. Encoded by the plasmid-borne bla-KPC gene, it can confer resistance to most β-lactam antibiotics, including carbapenems (Wei ZQ, et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother, 2007). KPC carbapenemases were first discovered in the United States in 1996. Subsequently, an outbreak of KPC-producing K. pneumoniae in the United States has been reported globally, including in China. As KPC-encoding genes continue to mutate, over 100 subtypes have been identified. BlaKPC-2 is the predominant subtype in my country, accounting for over 70% (Hobson CA, et al. Clin Microbiol Infect, 2021). The KPC encoding gene is located on a plasmid. The plasmid's ability to replicate and spread horizontally makes the spread of this type of drug-resistant gene more efficient and rapid. Currently, KPC carbapenemases have been detected in common clinical Gram-negative bacteria such as Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, posing a significant challenge to clinical treatment (Porreca AM, et al. Curr Infect Dis Rep, 2018). Pal is a peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein of Klebsiella pneumoniae, belonging to the OmpA family of proteins and associated with bacterial virulence. Pal from Acinetobacter baumannii has been used as an antigen in vaccine research, but no relevant reports have been published for the Klebsiella pneumoniae Pal protein. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention prepares the recombinant protein KPC-Pal by fusing KPC-2 and Pal proteins through gene splicing technology. After the protein is combined with aluminum adjuvant to prepare a vaccine, it shows good immunogenicity in animal experiments and has a good protective effect against a lethal dose of Klebsiella pneumoniae in animal experiments.
[0006] The antigen KPC-Pal is spliced at the genetic level by the recombinant protein antigen KPC of Klebsiella pneumoniae and the Pal peptide chain. It can be expressed at high levels and with better purity in BL21 (DE) competent cells in the pGEX-6p-1 plasmid vector system. It can induce efficient humoral immune responses in animal challenge and protection experiments, significantly improving the survival rate of mice infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae, and can be used as an effective vaccine candidate antigen.
[0007] The innovations of the present invention are: (1) a fusion antigen KPC-Pal was constructed, which is a combination of two antigens. These two antigens have not been reported for use in Klebsiella pneumoniae vaccine research; (2) a drug resistance target was used as a candidate vaccine antigen for the first time. The antibodies produced by this target can, on the one hand, inhibit or block the hydrolysis activity of KPC-2 by binding to KPC-2, thereby reducing or blocking bacterial drug resistance; on the other hand, they can also directly kill bacteria through effects such as ADCC or CDC; (3) KPC-2 can be transmitted between different bacterial species via plasmids, and the sequence is highly conserved between different KPC subtypes. Therefore, vaccines targeting KPC-2 may have good universality. Moreover, the vaccine research strategy based on drug resistance targets can also be easily extended to other drug resistance targets, providing a theoretical basis for the research of universal vaccines for multiple drug resistance targets.
[0008] The present invention provides a recombinant Klebsiella pneumoniae antigen protein, which is composed of a KPC peptide segment extracted from the Klebsiella pneumoniae KPC-2 protein and a Pal peptide segment extracted from the Klebsiella pneumoniae Pal protein connected by a polypeptide linker, wherein the amino acid sequence of the Klebsiella pneumoniae KPC-2 protein is SEQ ID NO: 3, and the amino acid sequence of the Klebsiella pneumoniae Pal protein is SEQ ID NO: 4; preferably, the KPC peptide segment comprises a polypeptide with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5; the Pal protein comprises a polypeptide with an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6; the polypeptide linker consists of 4 glycines (G) and 1 serine (S); preferably, the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide linker is SEQ ID NO: 7GGGGS.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the backbone plasmid is selected from any of the pGEX series, pET series, or pQE series vectors; preferably, the pGEX-6p-1 plasmid. The prokaryotic expression plasmid pGEX-6p-1 is used to construct the recombinant expression plasmid. This vector confers ampicillin resistance and can be used for screening positive recombinants. GST tag sequences are introduced at both ends of the protein.
[0014] The present invention further provides a recombinant engineered bacterium containing the above expression vector.
[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the host bacteria is Escherichia coli XL1-blue, BL21 (DE) series or HMS174 series, preferably Escherichia coli BL21 (DE).
[0016] The present invention also provides a method for purifying the recombinant protein antigen KPC-Pal from Klebsiella pneumoniae. The main technical scheme involves collecting genetically engineered bacteria expressing KPC-Pal; then purifying KPC-Pal through a sequential combination of high-pressure lysis, centrifugation, affinity chromatography, and enzymatic digestion. This method is simple, produces a high-purity target protein, is easily scalable, has good reproducibility, and offers a good recovery rate.
[0017] Another aspect of the present invention provides the use of the above-mentioned recombinant antigen protein in the preparation of a preparation for diagnosing, preventing or treating Klebsiella pneumoniae infection; preferably, the preparation further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, more preferably, the adjuvant is selected from any one of aluminum hydroxide adjuvant, aluminum phosphate adjuvant, aluminum monostearate adjuvant, MF59, complete Freund's adjuvant, incomplete Freund's adjuvant and Mycobacterium Calmette-Guerin adjuvant; preferably aluminum hydroxide adjuvant.

[0042] 2. Transformation of Recombinant Plasmid
[0043] Remove one tube of E. coli BL21(DE) competent cells (Shanghai Chaoyan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) from the -80°C freezer and add 0.5 μL of the synthesized pGEX-6p-1-KPC-Pal plasmid. Incubate on ice for 50 minutes, heat shock in a 42°C metal bath for 90 seconds, and quickly incubate on ice for 2 minutes. Add 600 μL of LB blank medium, mix thoroughly, and shake at 220 rpm in a 37°C shaker for 1 hour. Centrifuge each tube at 5000 rpm for 3 minutes at room temperature. Discard 300 μL of the supernatant, resuspend the cells, and spread 200 μL onto an LB plate containing ampicillin resistance. Incubate the plate upside down at 37°C in a 34°C incubator for 24 hours. Pick well-separated colonies from the transformation plate and inoculate them into ampicillin-resistant LB medium. Incubate at 37°C with shaking overnight.
[0044] 3. Double enzyme digestion identification
[0045] Take the bacterial culture that has been cultured overnight at 37°C in a shaker and extract the plasmid of the positive clone using the Rapid Plasmid Extraction Kit (Tiangen Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd.) according to the instructions. Use XhoI (Takara) and BamHI (Takara) for enzyme digestion and incubate at 37°C in a water bath for half an hour. The system is as follows:
[0046]
[0047] A 1.0% agarose gel containing 0.01% GenRed nucleic acid dye (Beijing Jinbaite Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) was cast. 1 μl of 6× Loading buffer was added to each of the above enzyme digestion reactions. After electrophoresis at 80V for 20 minutes, the digestion results were observed using a UV scanner. The results showed that the plasmid of the positive clone was cut into two fragments. The larger fragment, approximately 5000 bp, was the expression vector pGEX-6p-1, and the smaller fragment, approximately 1146 bp, was the inserted KPC-Pal fragment encoding KPC-Pal. Figure 1 ).
[0048] 4. Preservation of original strains
[0049] Take the bacterial liquid cultured overnight at 37℃ in a shaker after identification, mix it evenly with sterile 30% glycerol in a 1:1 ratio in a bacteria-preserving tube, and store it at -80℃. The validity period is 3 years.
[0050] Example 2: Identification and preparation of KPC-Pal antigen protein expression form
[0051] 1. Obtain protein
[0052] Take 100 μL of the pGEX-6p-1-KPC-Pal / BL21 bacterial solution stored in a 4°C refrigerator and add it to 100 mL of LB medium containing ampicillin resistance for primary activation. After incubation at 200 rpm and 37°C overnight, add the activated 100 mL of bacterial solution to 2 L of LB medium containing ampicillin resistance for secondary activation. Incubate at 37°C for 3–4 h until the OD reaches 0. 600 When the pH is 1.2, add 400 μL of IPTG (final concentration 200 μM) and induce in a shaker at 25°C for 6 hours. Centrifuge at 6000 rpm for 15 minutes to collect the cells. Resuspend the cells in 80 mL of PBS and sonicate for 30 minutes. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 20 minutes to collect the supernatant, which is the protein solution containing KPC-Pal.
[0053] 2. Affinity chromatography and protease cleavage
[0054] The KPC-Pal protein solution was mixed with 4 mL of glutathione-Sepharose 4F and applied to an affinity chromatography column. Binding was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 2 h. The column was then washed three times with 1M NaCl-0.5% Tween-20-20 mM PBS for 40 column volumes (160 mL), followed by three washes with 300 mM NaCl-20 mM PBS for 40 column volumes (160 mL), and finally three washes with 20 mM PBS for 40 column volumes (160 mL). This yielded a large amount of GST-tagged KPC-Pal recombinant protein. 4 mL of PBS and 1 mL of PreScission protease (PPase) were then added, and the column was digested overnight at 4°C with vertical rotation. The column was then washed twice with 5 mL of PBS, and 15 mL of the digested soluble protein solution was collected.
[0055] 3. SDS-PAGE electrophoresis
[0056] Pour 10% separation gel into the gel plate, add distilled water to flatten the gel, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to solidify, drain the distilled water on the upper layer, then pour in the concentrated gel, immediately insert the comb, let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to solidify for use. Take 10 μL of the processed samples and load them for SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The voltage is first 80V for 30 minutes, then adjusted to 180V. After electrophoresis for 40 minutes, the gel is taken out and placed in Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining solution for shaking staining, and then placed in decolorizing solution for shaking decolorization. The results are observed under the imaging system. pGEX-6p-1-KPC-Pal / BL21 (DE) can express a GST-tagged KPC-Pal protein with a molecular weight of about 65 kDa at 25°C, and the recombinant proteins are all in the supernatant of ultrasonic lysis. Therefore, the recombinant protein is a soluble protein under the above-mentioned induction temperature conditions, and the expression level is very high at 25°C. Figure 2 Shown: Lane 2 is the target protein obtained after enzyme digestion.
