Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a recombinant Pinellia ternata agglutinin expression vector, a construction method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Pinellia ternata (Thunb.) Breit is a traditional Chinese medicinal material in China, which is rich in a large amount of active ingredients. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Pinellia ternata has the effects of relieving cough and asthma, stopping vomiting, anti-tumor, anti-aging, sedation and hypnotic. Pinellia ternata agglutinin (PTA) is a plant protein isolated from Pinellia ternata tubers, which has various biological functions, such as anti-insect, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-tumor effects, and is widely used in agricultural pest control. Pinellia ternata agglutinin is a special component of Pinellia ternata protein, which has both medicinal activity and physiological toxicity. The toxicity includes mucous membrane toxicity, liver and kidney toxicity, and pregnancy toxicity. Calcium oxalate and Pinellia ternata protein are the components of Pinellia ternata toxic needle crystals. Pinellia ternata agglutinin is one of the main components of Pinellia ternata protein, so some scholars believe that Pinellia ternata agglutinin is a toxic component of Pinellia ternata. Pinellia ternata agglutinin can cause cell inflammation by inducing neutrophil migration, activating NF-κB pathway, releasing cytokines, and increasing the production of reactive oxygen species. In addition, Pinellia ternata agglutinin can also induce apoptosis of human tumor Bel-7404 cells. Heating or processing with ginger can reduce the content of Pinellia ternata agglutinin.

[0003] In recent years, researchers have also explored Pinellia ternata agglutinin gene. In 2003, researchers first cloned Pinellia ternata agglutinin gene, which encodes a lectin with secondary structure containing alpha helix and beta fold, and amino acid sequence containing three conserved mannose binding sites. Pinellia ternata agglutinin is a tetramer composed of two N-terminal and C-terminal domains. The molecular weight of Pinellia ternata agglutinin gene is 29 kDa, which can agglutinate rabbit red blood cells, and D-mannose can inhibit its coagulation activity. Pinellia ternata agglutinin has anti-tumor effect, which can inhibit the cell proliferation of mouse malignant sarcoma cells, cervical cancer cells and human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. In addition, Pinellia ternata agglutinin gene can target methyl bodies to produce cytotoxicity to cancer cells. Pinellia ternata agglutinin transgenic plants have certain resistance to whitefly, aphid, lepidopteran insects, virus and bacteria. Therefore, systematic study of Pinellia ternata agglutinin can not only explore new functions of active ingredients of Pinellia ternata, but also provide ideas for Pinellia ternata attenuation and drug development based on Pinellia ternata agglutinin.

[0075] 5, Recombinant Pinellia ternate lectin pET-28a(+)-Gene Name was identified by DH5α transformation (resistance to kanamycin), single colony picking, colony PCR verification, sequencing and extraction of recombinant plasmid.

[0076] (1) Figure 10 In Lane B, colony PCR was used to verify the recombinant Pinellia ternate lectin: the size of PTA1-1 is 810bp, and the result of agarose gel electrophoresis shows that there is a bright band between 500-1000bp, which is a positive clone with correct size. Figure 10 In Lane B, a) the size of PTA1-2 is 812bp, and the result of agarose gel electrophoresis shows that there is a bright band between 500-1000bp, which is a positive clone with correct size.

(2) Sequencing: the sequencing result of pET-28a(+)-Gene Name is compared with the sequence of the pinellin gene, and the sequence similarity is 100%.

[0077] Table 5 Concentration of recombinant pinellin pET-28a(+)-Gene Name plasmid

[0078]

[0079] Based on the above, the present application successfully constructs six recombinant pinellin pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4, pET-28a(+)-PTA5, and pET-28a(+)-PTA6.

[0080] Six, expression and solubility verification of recombinant pinellin protein

[0081] 1. Recombinant Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin protein BL21(DE3) expression: ① 2 μL empty pET-28a(+) / pET-28a(+)-Gene Name plasmid was added to 100 μL BL21 cells, and placed on ice for 30 min. ② After 82 s of 42 °C water bath heat shock, placed on ice for 4 min. ③ 900 μL LB liquid medium was added in a horizontal laminar flow double purification table, and cultured at 37 °C (40 min, 220 rpm). ④ 180 μL bacterial solution was evenly coated on LB solid medium containing kanamycin. The coated plate was inverted at 37 °C overnight (12-16 h). ⑤ The next day, a piece of bacteria was scraped and added to 5 mL LB medium and 5 μL kanamycin, and cultured at 37 °C overnight (12-16 h, 220 rpm). ⑥ 1 mL bacteria was added to 49 mL LB medium and 50 μL kanamycin, and cultured at 37 °C (1-3 h, 220 rpm). OD600 was measured, and when the OD value was 0.6-0.8, the empty pET-28a(+) / pET-28a(+)-Gene Name pre-induction bacterial solution was collected. ⑦ The strain was preserved with 50% glycerol.

[0082] 2. Recombinant Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin protein IPTG induction: the bacterial solution with OD600 of 0.6-0.8 was taken, and 50 μL IPTG was added to 50 mL bacterial solution to a final concentration of 210 μM, and induced at 16 °C overnight (12-16 h, 150 rpm). The post-induction bacterial solution of empty pET-28a(+) / pET-28a(+)-Gene Name was collected.

[0083] 3. Solubility verification of recombinant Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin protein: the recombinant Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin protein was treated by His-tag protein purification kit type I (ultrasonic lysis) in the present application, and eight sample systems were as follows:

[0084] No. 1: 20 μL empty pET-28a(+) bacteria solution before induction + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 2: 20 μL empty pET-28a(+) bacteria solution after induction + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 3: 20 μL pET-28a(+)-Gene Name bacteria solution before induction + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 4: 20 μL pET-28a(+)-Gene Name bacteria solution after induction + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 5: a little bit of the precipitate after bacteria lysis is dipped with a gun head + 20 μL ultrasonic lysis buffer + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 6: 20 μL supernatant after bacteria lysis + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 7: 15 μL supernatant after bacteria lysis + 5 μL ultrasonic lysis buffer + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. No. 8: 10 μL supernatant after bacteria lysis + 10 μL ultrasonic lysis buffer + 5 μL 5x SDS-PAGE loading buffer. Only a small amount of protein can be obtained by traditional extraction of Pinellia ternate corms, and a large amount of Pinellia agglutinin protein with biological activity can be obtained by the prokaryotic expression method. The soluble protein concentrations of Pinellia agglutinin pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4, pET-28a(+)-PTA5 and pET-28a(+)-PTA6 are 25.808 mg / mL, 22.093 mg / mL, 31.994 mg / mL, 37.260 mg / mL, 24.631 mg / mL and 20.358 mg / mL, respectively. There is no obvious difference between the electrophoretic bands of empty pET-28a(+) and the five proteins before and after induction. The sizes of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4, pET-28a(+)-PTA5 and pET-28a(+)-PTA6 are 33.13 kDa, 33.20 kDa, 33.06 kDa, 33.13 kDa, 25.34 kDa and 26.92 Da, respectively, and the sizes of the electrophoretic bands are consistent. The supernatant and the precipitate of PTA1-1, PTA1-2, PTA1-3, PTA1-4, PTA5 and PTA6 all contain the target protein, proving that the six proteins are neutral proteins. Bioinformatics prediction shows that Pinellia agglutinin PTA1-1, PTA1-2, PTA1-3, PTA1-4 and PTA5 are hydrophilic proteins, and the SDS-PAGE electrophoretic results show that the soluble protein content of the five Pinellia agglutinins is obviously higher than that of the insoluble protein, which is consistent with the prediction results.Bioinformatics predicted that PTA6 is a hydrophobic protein, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis results showed that the protein content of the PTA6 was higher, which was consistent with the prediction. But through low temperature, low concentration of IPTG induction, the soluble protein content of PTA6 was improved. In summary, the protein in the supernatant was selected for subsequent biological property detection. Figure 12 A).

[0085] Seven, the biological properties of recombinant PTA6 were detected. 1. Coagulation activity determination: (1) Preparation of 1% red blood cell suspension. Finger blood was collected from volunteers, and orbital blood was collected from BALB / c nude mice, and ear vein blood was collected from experimental rabbits. 0.5 mL of blood was taken in a centrifuge tube, centrifuged for 5 min (4°C, 3000 rpm), and the supernatant was discarded. The red blood cells were washed with physiological saline and centrifuged for 5 min (4°C, 3000 rpm); repeated 4 times. The 1% red blood cell suspension was diluted with physiological saline and stored at 4°C for standby. (2) Species specificity detection of PTA6 coagulation activity. The initial red blood cell morphology was observed under a microscope. 25 μL of 1% red blood cell suspension was taken, 25 μL of PTA6 protein was added, and it was mixed and placed at room temperature for 2 h. The coagulation results were observed under a microscope. Physiological saline was used as a blank control, empty pET-28a(+) was used as a negative control, and 2.4 mg / mL of natural PTA6 was used as a positive control. Recombinant PTA6 proteins pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4 and pET-28a(+)-PTA5 all had coagulation activity and could agglutinate 1% mouse and rabbit red blood cells, but could not agglutinate human red blood cells. In summary, the coagulation activity of PTA6 has species specificity and cannot agglutinate human red blood cells, but can agglutinate mouse and rabbit red blood cells. Figure 13 B and Figure 17 (3) Coagulation activity determination of PTA6. The coagulation activity of PTA6 protein on rabbit blood was observed. 25 μL of physiological saline was added to holes 1-10, 25 μL of empty pET-28a(+) was added to hole 2, 25 μL of PTA6 protein was added to hole 3, and it was mixed and diluted by 2 times in holes 4-10. Finally, 25 μL of 1% red blood cell suspension was added to each of holes 1-10, mixed and placed at room temperature for 3 h, and the results were observed under a microscope. The agglutination titer of red blood cells was u=2 n , n refers to the minimum PTA6 concentration that can agglutinate red blood cells, "+" represents red blood cell agglutination, "-" represents red blood cell non-agglutination, and the results are as follows Figure 14The coagulation effects of different recombinant pinellia lectins are different. The initial concentration of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1 lectin is 25.808 mg / mL, and the lectin still has a coagulation effect when the red blood cell agglutination titer u is 25, i.e. the protein concentration is 1.613 mg / mL. The red blood cell agglutination titer u of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2 is 24, i.e. the protein concentration is 2.762 mg / mL, and the lectin still has a coagulation effect. The red blood cell agglutination titer u of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3 is 25, i.e. the protein concentration is 1.999 mg / mL, and the lectin still has a coagulation effect. The red blood cell agglutination titer u of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4 is 26, i.e. the protein concentration is 1.164 mg / mL, and the lectin still has a coagulation effect. The red blood cell agglutination titer u of pET-28a(+)-PTA5 is 24, i.e. the protein concentration is 3.079 mg / mL, and the lectin still has a coagulation effect.

[0086] 2. Sugar inhibition experiment: 200 mmol / L D-mannose, D-glucose, sucrose, α-D-lactose, D-trehalose, L-rhamnose solutions were prepared respectively. Take 96-well "V" bottom blood clotting plate, add 25 μL of sugar solution, 25 μL of empty pET-28a(+) to the 2nd well and mix well. Add 25 μL of sugar solution to the 3rd well, then perform dilution by 2 times in the 4th-10th wells, and add 25 μL of pinellia lectin protein to the 3rd-11th wells respectively and mix well. Finally, add 25 μL of 1% red blood cell suspension to each well, mix well, and stand at room temperature for 2 hours. Observe the results under a microscope, and determine the inhibition effect of various sugars on the coagulation ability of recombinant pinellia lectin protein. (1) D-mannose: After D-mannose treatment, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4, and pET-28a(+)-PTA5 still showed great agglutination effect on 1% rabbit blood, proving that D-mannose has no inhibitory effect on the four. D-mannose can completely inhibit the coagulation activity of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, and reducing the concentration of D-mannose can restore the coagulation activity of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2 protein, and the minimum D-mannose inhibition concentration is 25 mM. PTA1-1, PTA1-2, PTA1-3, and PTA1-4 all contain 3 mannose binding sites, but only the coagulation activity of PTA1-2 is inhibited by mannose. By comparing the PTA1 four homologous sequences, it is found that the amino acid sequence of PTA1-2 has 5 threonine, 3 serine, and 1 arginine. PTA1-2 is predicted to contain 8 threonine sites and 18 serine sites. Studies have shown that reducing serine phosphorylation can promote protein expression. Therefore, it is speculated that PTA1-2 is affected by phosphorylation, the protein expression amount is reduced, and it is more susceptible to mannose to inhibit its coagulation activity Figure 17 A, Figure 14Middle B).

[0087] (2) D-glucose: After D-glucose treatment, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4, pET-28a(+)-PTA5 still showed a strong agglutination effect on 1% rabbit blood, proving that D-glucose had no inhibitory effect on the above three. PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3 can still agglutinate 1% rabbit blood, but the agglutination effect is reduced. It is proved that D-glucose can reduce the coagulation activity of pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3 Figure 17 Middle B, Figure 15 Middle C).

[0088] (3) Sucrose: After sucrose treatment, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-1, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-4, pET-28a(+)-PTA5 still showed a strong agglutination effect on 1% rabbit blood, proving that sucrose had no inhibitory effect on the above three. Recombinant pinellin protein pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2, pET-28a(+)-PTA1-3 can still agglutinate 1% rabbit blood, but the agglutination effect is reduced, especially pET-28a(+)-PTA1-2.
