Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more specifically, to a recombinant plasmid and recombinant cells for expressing glutamate decarboxylase 65, their construction method, and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by absolute or relative insulin deficiency and impaired insulin utilization, mainly classified into three types: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Glutamate decarboxylase antibody (GADA) is an immunomarker in the early stages of type 1 diabetes and also serves as an indicator of treatment efficacy in patients with type 1 diabetes. Its antigen, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), is a key antigen inducing type 1 diabetes and a key rate-limiting enzyme of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It can be divided into two types: GAD65 and GAD67 (relative molecular masses of 65 kDa and 67 kDa, respectively), with only GAD65 present in the human body. With the development of in vitro diagnostic technology, the development of stable and high-yield GAD65 has become particularly important.
[0003] The earliest extraction method for GAD65 involved isolating pancreatic islet tissue from the pancreas of organ donors and purifying GAD65. Although GAD65 extracted through manufacturing methods has high enzyme activity and antigenicity, the protein yield of this extraction method is extremely low due to the difficulty in obtaining tissue samples, making it unsuitable for large-scale clinical use.
[0004] Currently, exogenous expression has become the main method for producing GAD65. Exogenous expression is mainly divided into E. coli expression, yeast expression, baculovirus expression, and mammalian cell expression. E. coli expression has low cost and extremely high yield, but because it uses a prokaryotic cell expression system, the GAD65 produced by this method lacks necessary post-translational modifications, resulting in unstable products and low native activity. Although the post-translational modification matrix of yeast expression is close to that of higher eukaryotes, the protein product has poor stability and expresses non-target proteins, which increases the subsequent isolation cost. Baculovirus expression technology has high requirements and high cost, making it unsuitable for industrial applications. The post-translational modification mechanism of mammalian cell expression is closest to the human conformation, but its expression level is relatively low. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to increase the yield of exogenously expressed GAD65.

[0018] In the technical solution of this invention, the template plasmid pEE12.4-N-GAD65 is based on the pEE12.4 plasmid, and the Neo gene is introduced through In-Fusion Cloning technology. This makes pEE12.4-N-GAD65 have both the GS gene and the Neo gene, and can be screened using G418 and methionine sulfoxide imine.
[0019] In the technical solution provided by this invention, stable cell line clones can be screened using the pEE12.4-N-GAD65 provided by this invention and a dual-marker gene screening system. Compared with the pEE12.4 of the GS single screening system, its positive rate is higher. At the same time, the expression level of recombinant proteins screened by pEE12.4-N-GAD65 provided by this invention is significantly improved compared with the GS single screening system.
[0020] The third aspect of this invention provides the application of the recombinant plasmid described in the first aspect in increasing the expression level of glutamate decarboxylase 65.

[0105] Example 3
[0106] Transfection and screening
[0107] CHO-K1 cells and OPM CDP9 culture medium (purchased from Optimum Biotech) were used for screening recombinant protein expression and high-expression cell lines under suspension culture conditions. Frozen cells were placed in a 37°C water bath, and within 1 minute, the thawed cell culture was transferred to a 125-mL shake flask containing 29 mL of pre-warmed culture medium. The cells were cultured at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 115 rpm. The density was maintained at 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL during passage. 5 Transfection was performed when the cell viability was ≥98% at a rate of 1 / mL.
[0108] One day before electroporation, CHO-K1 cells were passaged in suspension culture at a cell density of 8 × 10⁶ cells / year. 5 The cell / mL culture volume was 30 mL OPM CDP9. The next day, 1×10⁶ cells / mL were collected. 7 Cells were electroporated using the Bio-rad electroporator according to the instruction manual. pEE12.4-GAD65 and pEE12.4-N-GAD65 from Example 2 were transfected into CHO-K1 cells and cultured in an incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 125 rpm.
[0109] After the cells regained viability, pressure selection was performed. CHO-K1 cells transfected with recombinant plasmid pEE12.4-GAD65 were selected for expression under the selection pressure conditions of CDP9 + 25 μM MSX, while CHO-K1 cells transfected with recombinant plasmid pEE12.4-N-GAD65 were selected under the selection pressure conditions of CDP9 + 25 μM MSX + 800 μg / mL G418. One week after pressure selection, single clones were selected using the limiting dilution method. Ten 96-well plates were plated with each subclone, one cell per well, for selection of stable cell lines.

[0111] Establish a method for quantitative determination of supernatant protein content using ELISA.
[0112] After transfecting CHO-K1 cells with recombinant plasmid pEE12.4-GAD65, the CHO-K1 cells selected under pressure were then divided into groups of 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells. 5 CHO-K1 cells were seeded at a density of 30 mL CDP9 + 25 μM MSX medium in 125 mL shake flasks and cultured. After transfection of CHO-K1 cells with the recombinant plasmid pEE12.4-N-GAD65, the CHO-K1 cells selected under pressure were cultured at a density of 3 × 10⁻⁶ cells / mL. 5 The cells were seeded at a density of 1 cell / mL in 125 mL shake flasks containing 30 mL CDP9 + 25 μM MSX + 800 μg / mL G418 medium. After culturing for 5 days, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation.
[0113] The purified GAD65 antigen was diluted with CDP9 medium and used as a standard.
[0114] Mouse IgG antibody was coated with coating buffer at 0.5 μg / mL, 100 μL / well, and incubated at 37℃ for 1 h, followed by washing with PBST 3 times. Blocking buffer (PBS + 2% BSA) was added at 37℃ for 2 h, followed by washing with PBST 3 times. Standard and test sample were added at 100 μL / well, and incubated at 37℃ for 1 h, followed by washing with PBST 3 times. Horseradish peroxidase-labeled mouse anti-IgG was used as a secondary antibody, 100 μL / well, and incubated at 37℃ for 1 h, followed by washing with PBST 3 times. TMB substrate chromogenic solution was added at 100 μL / well, and chromogenic reaction was performed for 3 min. The reaction was terminated with H2SO4. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader, a standard curve was constructed, and the concentration of recombinant protein was calculated. The relevant results are shown in Table 8.
[0115] Table 8
[0116]
[0117] Based on the test results in Table 8, a standard curve was plotted with concentration values on the x-axis and the corresponding OD450 values on the y-axis. The standard curve is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, by Figure 8 It can be seen that the correlation coefficient R of the standard curve 2 =0.9721. Using the standard curve, it can be calculated that under a selection pressure of 25 μM MSX, the protein concentration of GAD65 in the cell supernatant transfected with pEE12.4-GAD65 is 384 mg / L, and under a selection pressure of 25 μM MSX + 800 μg / mL G418, the protein concentration of GAD65 in the cell supernatant transfected with pEE12.4-N-GAD65 is 683 mg / L. After transfecting CHO-K1 with the optimized pEE12.4-N plasmid, the protein expression level is higher than that of the expression plasmid before optimization.

[0119] Rapid screening of stable monoclonal antibodies
[0120] Two weeks after transfection, the cells in Example 3 were cultured and ELISA was performed on the wells from which clones grew. The positive clone rate is shown in Table 9.
[0121] Table 9
[0122]
[0123] As shown in Table 9, the positive clone rate obtained by transfection with the modified pEE12.4-N-GAD65 was higher.
[0124] Clones were selected from two expression vectors, pEE12.4-GAD65 and pEE12.4-N-GAD65. The results of the top 20 clones by OD value were compared using ELISA, and the results are shown in Table 10.

[0127] Example 6
[0128] Western blot analysis of GAD65 expression in cell culture supernatant
[0129] The supernatants of pEE12.4-GAD65 and pEE12.4-N-GAD65 expression were taken separately and subjected to SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the gel was soaked in 1× transfer buffer for 5 min. A PVDF membrane (polyvinylidene fluoride membrane) of the same size as the gel was taken and soaked in methanol solution for 5 min. Then, a sponge sheet, a PVDF membrane, a gel, and a sponge sheet were sequentially layered on top of the gel. The mixture was then analyzed by GenScript eBlot.TM A series of rapid transfer membrane systems were used for transfer. After protein transfer, the PVDF membrane was removed and blocked in 2% fish skin gelatin solution for 2 h. The blocking solution was discarded, and the membrane was washed three times with PBST for 10 min each time. The PVDF membrane was then immersed in a 1:10000 dilution of goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody and incubated with shaking for 1 h. The membrane was then washed four times with PBST for 10 min each time. The membrane was then developed using freshly prepared SuperSignal chromogenic buffer. TM The West Pico PLUS Chemiluminescent Substrate (Thermo) was used for color development.
[0130] Fish skin gelatin contains no serum proteins, which can significantly reduce interference from non-specific background signals, as shown in the results. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 In the diagram, lanes 1-3 show the supernatant expression detection results of pEE12.4-GAD65, and lanes 4-6 show the supernatant expression detection results of pEE12.4-N-GAD65. Figure 9 In the figure, A represents the result of SDS-PAGE protein electrophoresis. Figure 9 In this context, B represents the result of the Western blotting (WB) experiment. Figure 9 It is evident that the protein is the expressed GAD65 fragment, with a protein size of approximately 90 kDa.
[0131] As can be seen from the above examples, using the recombinant plasmid pEE12.4-N-GAD65 for expressing glutamate decarboxylase 65 provided by the present invention and CHO cells introduced with the plasmid can effectively increase the yield of exogenous GAD65 expression, and has broad application prospects.
