Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically relating to a degradation-targeting chimera, nanomedicine, and composition of an anti-PRRSV biotype protein, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is a highly contagious disease caused by Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The main clinical symptoms in affected piglets include severe respiratory disorders, and in pregnant sows, premature birth, fetal death, and mummified fetuses are severe reproductive problems. It is also prone to secondary infections with other viruses and bacteria. Since PRRSV was first isolated in my country in 1996, the virus has spread to major pig-farming areas nationwide, becoming a major pathogen restricting the healthy development of the pig farming industry. From 2006 onwards, a highly pathogenic strain (HP-PRRSV) broke out in southern my country, causing complex clinical symptoms and posing a significant threat to the development of my country's pig farming industry over the following decade. In 2014, the introduced NADC30 strain recombinated with local strains, giving rise to the NADC30 / 34 recombinant variant strain, further exacerbating the difficulty of PRRSV control and posing a new challenge to my country's comprehensive swine disease prevention and control system.
[0003] PRRSV's characteristics, including genetic diversity, high variability, polysaccharide shielding, and antibody-dependent enhancement, which allow it to evade the host's humoral immune response, continuously present new challenges for PRRSV vaccine development. Currently, existing PRRSV vaccines have significant limitations: while live attenuated vaccines offer good protection against homologous strains and can induce cellular immunity, their protective effect against heterologous strains is limited, and they carry the risk of virulence reversion and adverse drug reaction (ADE); inactivated and subunit vaccines, although offering improved safety, have poor ability to stimulate host cellular immunity, low immunogenicity, and insufficient protective efficacy. This suggests that existing commercial vaccines cannot provide complete immune protection for pig herds, necessitating the development of novel anti-PRRSV drugs for emergency prevention and control of PRRS. However, traditional anti-PRRSV drug development faces two major bottlenecks: pathogen-targeted drugs (such as ribavirin and remdesivir) suffer from high cytotoxicity and easy drug resistance; host-targeted drugs (such as morula ketone C and vidofluradim) have unstable efficacy and are prone to causing cytokine storms and other side effects. In contrast, nanobody (Nb) as a biological drug has become a hot topic in antiviral drug development due to its advantages such as easy genetic manipulation, strong permeability, and good safety. Summary of the Invention

[0032] Example 3. Verification of the target protein degradation function of Nnb-SPOP
[0033] HEK293T cells were seeded into 6-well plates until 70% colony-forming. Using PEI transfection reagent, 1 μg of pCDNA3.1-FLAG-Nnb-SPOP was transfected into each well at a plasmid:PEI ratio of 1:3. After 24 h, the cell supernatant was discarded, and 200 μL of cell lysis buffer (RIPA + 10% PMSF) was added to each well to extract cell proteins. The samples were collected and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected for SDS-PAGE. The protein gel samples were transferred to PVDF membranes using a transfer apparatus and blocked with 5% skim milk at room temperature for 1 h. Western blotting was then performed using a mouse Flag-tagged monoclonal antibody as the primary antibody and DyLight 800-labeled goat anti-mouse antibody as the secondary antibody. The results are as follows: Figure 1 A shows that the Nnb-SPOP (37.6 kDa) size is consistent with the SnapGene prediction, indicating that bioPROTACs are successfully expressed in cells.
[0034] Cells were co-transfected with 1 μg pCAGGS-HA-N and 1, 2, and 3 μg pCDNA3.1-FLAG-Nnb-SPOP. Cell protein samples were collected 24 h post-transfection for Western blot analysis to verify the degradation effect of Nnb-SPOP on N protein. Results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown in C, Nnb-SPOP achieves a 70% efficiency in targeting and degrading N protein.

Then, using PEI transfection reagent, 1 μg of pCDNA3.1-FLAG-(Nsp9nb)2-SPOP was transfected at a plasmid:PEI ratio of 1:3. ΔNLSCells were transfected into wells. After 24 h, the cell supernatant was discarded, and 200 μL of cell lysis buffer (RIPA + 10% PMSF) was added to each well to extract cell proteins. The samples were collected, centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected for SDS-PAGE. The protein gel samples were transferred to PVDF membranes using a transfer apparatus and blocked with 5% skim milk at room temperature for 1 h. Western blotting was then performed using a mouse Flag-tagged monoclonal antibody as the primary antibody and DyLight 800-labeled goat anti-mouse antibody as the secondary antibody. The results are as follows: Figure 1 B shows (Nsp9nb)2-SPOP, which are consistent with the SnapGene predicted size. ΔNLS (52.6 kDa) indicates that bioPROTACs were successfully expressed in cells.

[0038] Example 5. Analysis of the antiviral effect of Nnb-SPOP
[0039] 1 μg of plasmid pCDNA3.1-FLAG-Nnb-SPOP was transfected into Marc-145 cells grown to 60%-70% confluence in 12-well plates. 24 h post-transfection, cells were inoculated with 0.01 MOI of HP-PRRSV (HuN4), and 1 h after inoculation, the medium was replaced with maintenance medium containing 2% serum. Cell supernatants were collected at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post-inoculation for viral titer determination (TCID). 50 The samples were then observed and photographed using an inverted fluorescence microscope after 72 hours of incubation. Results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the viral titer and cytopathic effect of PRRSV-infected cell supernatants transfected with Nnb-SPOP were significantly lower than those of the PRRSV-infected control group. Furthermore, the bioPROTACs transfection group exhibited significantly stronger cytopathic inhibitory activity than (Nsp9nb)2-SPOP, which was previously invented in our laboratory. These results indicate that Nnb-SPOP and (Nsp9nb)2-SPOP... ΔNLSAll small molecules possess the ability to inhibit PRRSV replication, significantly reduce the expression level of N protein in PRRSV-infected cells, and their antiviral effect is superior to (Nsp9nb)2-SPOP.

[0041] 1 μg of plasmid pCDNA3.1-FLAG-(Nsp9nb)2-SPOP ΔNLS Marc-145 cells grown to 60%-70% confluence in 12-well plates were transfected. 24 h post-transfection, cells were inoculated with 0.01 MOI of HP-PRRSV (HuN4), and 1 h later, the medium was replaced with maintenance medium containing 2% serum. Cell supernatants were collected at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h post-inoculation for viral titer determination (TCID). 50 The samples were then observed and photographed using an inverted fluorescence microscope after 72 hours of incubation. Results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, PRRSV infection transfected with (Nsp9nb)2-SPOP ΔNLS The viral titer and cytopathic effect induced by the small molecules in the cell supernatant were significantly lower than those in the PPRSV-infected control group.

[0042] Example 7. Development of Multifunctional P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP Nanobiomedicine
[0043] 1. Construction and prokaryotic expression of P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP plasmid: Using pCDNA3.1-FLAG-Nnb-SPOP as a template, primers Nnb-SPOP F / R were designed for PCR amplification of the Nnb-SPOP gene fragment with added homologous arm sequences; using pET-28a-P22 VLP stored in the laboratory as a vector template (published in the article: Su S, Shen X, Shi X, et al. Cell-penetrating peptides TAT and 8R functionalize P22 virus-like particles to enhance tissue distribution and retention in vivo[J]. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2024.DOI:10.3389 / fvets.2024.1460973.), P22 VLPs with added homologous arm sequences were amplified by PCR using primers SP-NF / R. The Nnb-SPOP coding sequence was successfully subcloned into the 5' end of the P22 VLPs SP protein nucleotide sequence by fusing the two fragments through homologous recombination. Further, using the above intermediate plasmid as a template, a linearized P22 VLPs plasmid with a homologous arm sequence added to the 3' end of the CP protein nucleotide sequence was amplified using CP F / R primers. Using a synthesized porcine Fc fragment (NCBI accession number: AK405781) eukaryotic expression vector (synthesized by Ruiboxingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) as a template, the IgG Fc fragment was amplified using primers Fc F / R. The two fragments were then fused through homologous recombination, successfully subcloning the IgG Fc sequence into the 3' end of the P22 VLPs CP protein nucleotide sequence, ultimately yielding the multifunctional pET-28a-P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP plasmid. The relevant primer sequences are shown in Table 2 and were synthesized by Ruiboxingke Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0044] The plasmid was transformed into competent ROSETTA (DE3) cells of prokaryotic protein expression bacteria. Single colonies were picked and cultured in LB medium containing kanamycin resistance. Once the OD value of the bacterial culture reached between 0.4 and 0.8, a final concentration of 0.1 mM IPTG was added, and expression was induced overnight at 180 r / min and 16℃. The bacterial cells were collected, sonicated, and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 20 min. The supernatant was collected and subjected to SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of each component protein in the VLPs was predicted using SnapGene 6.02 software. The results are as follows: Figure 3As shown in Figure A, the 57 kDa Nnb-SPOP-SP and 72.1 kDa CP-Fc proteins were successfully expressed, demonstrating the successful expression of P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP nanoparticles.

[0047] 2. Purification and characterization of P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP nanoparticles
[0048] The supernatant after filtration at 0.22 μM was transferred to 40 mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes and ultracentrifuged at 28,000 rpm for 2 h at 4 °C. For further purification, four sucrose concentration gradients (25%–55%) were prepared in 40 mL centrifuge tubes, and the concentrated protein was carefully added to the top of the sucrose. The tubes were then centrifuged at 28,000 rpm for 3 h at 4 °C. The VLP bands were carefully collected from the tubes and dissolved in PBS, then centrifuged under the same conditions to remove residual sucrose. After the purified VLPs were dissolved in a small amount of PBS and further confirmed by SDS-PAGE, a distinct white aggregate layer formed in the ultracentrifuged tubes, as shown in the image. Figure 3 As shown in C. After collection, the samples were centrifuged once with PBS at 28,000 rpm for 3 h at 4 °C to remove sucrose. Finally, the samples were resuspended with a small amount of PBS, and a portion was aliquoted for subsequent evaluation, while the remainder was stored at -20 °C.
[0049] A small amount of sample was placed on a copper grid and incubated at 25 °C for 10 min. The sample was then negatively stained with 2.5% phosphotungstic acid solution for 1 min. Excess stain was blotted with filter paper, and the morphological characteristics of VLPs were examined using transmission electron microscopy. Under the microscope, uniformly sized, clearly structured, and approximately 80 nm in diameter P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP nanoparticles were observed. Figure 3 D). For immunoelectron microscopy experiments, a 1:200 dilution of porcine IgG Fc monoclonal antibody was used, and visualization was performed using gold-particle-labeled anti-mouse secondary antibody. The results are as follows. Figure 3 As shown in Figure E, the clearly visible gold nanoparticles on the exogenous VLPs demonstrate the successful display of porcine IgG Fc on their surface. Following the above procedures, a multifunctional P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP nanobiomedicine was finally obtained, internally encapsulated with bioPROTACs (Nnb-SPOP) and externally chimeric with porcine Fc.
[0050] 3. Uptake of P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP nanobiomedicine by alveolar macrophages
[0051] P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP at a final concentration of 50 μg / mL was added to PAMs pre-seeded for 4-6 h and to Marc-145 cells that had grown into a monolayer. After 6 h of incubation, the cells were fixed, permeabilized, and blocked for IFA detection. A His-tagged monoclonal antibody on the VLP surface was used as the primary antibody, and goat anti-mouse IgG was used as the secondary fluorescent antibody to stain P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP. Cell nuclei were then counterstained with DAPI. Observation under an inverted fluorescence microscope revealed that PAMs exhibited specific uptake of P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP, while Marc-145 cells failed to successfully uptake it. Figure 4 The above results demonstrate that P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP possesses good macrophage targeting ability. At a final concentration of 50 μg / mL, P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP exhibited good macrophage delivery capability and was not taken up by Marc-145 cells.

ΔNLS Or P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP and P22 VLPs-(Nsp9nb)2-SPOP ΔNLS The mixture was added to the cells and cultured further. Cells were fixed with 3.7% paraformaldehyde at 24 hpi and subjected to IFA staining for PRRSV N protein. Observation and photographic recording were performed under a microscope. Figure 5 Fluorescence results showed that the PRRSV N protein content in cells incubated with P22 VLPs-bioPROTACs after infection was significantly lower than that in the control group, with P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP and P22 VLPs-(Nsp9nb)2-SPOP being particularly high. ΔNLS The inhibitory effects of the single-drug groups on cytopathic effects were all above 80%. Furthermore, P22 VLPs-Nnb-SPOP and P22 VLPs-(Nsp9nb)2-SPOP... ΔNLS The combined administration group showed an inhibition rate of up to 90% against PRRSV replication. These results indicate that P22VLPs-bioPROTACs have a significant inhibitory effect on PRRSV replication in PAMs, particularly P22VLPs-Nnb-SPOP and P22VLPs-(Nsp9nb)2-SPOP. ΔNLSThe combined application showed better results than the use of individual drugs. This experiment demonstrated that the P22 VLPs-bioPROTACs nanobiomedicine constructed using P22 VLPs modified with Fc fragments as delivery vectors exhibited good antiviral activity in vitro, and that the combined application of multiple targets resulted in even better antiviral effects.
