Abstract
Description
A polypeptide modification and its application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of detection reagents and relates to a polypeptide modification and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is a common neurodegenerative disorder. With the aging population and increased life expectancy, AD has become one of the most serious threats to human health, following cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Its continued development will pose a serious social problem. In recent years, the amyloid cascade hypothesis has gained increasing recognition among researchers. This hypothesis posits that excessive production of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brain is the primary cause of AD. Aβ is formed by cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase and γ-secretase. It consists of 39-42 amino acid residues, is highly hydrophobic, and has the ability to self-aggregate. Studies have shown that Aβ1-40 (Aβ40) is present at high levels in the brains of AD patients, while Aβ1-42 (Aβ42) aggregates are highly toxic. Furthermore, changes in markers such as Aβ40 or Aβ42 / Aβ40 can be detected in the blood before AD patients develop clinical symptoms. As a continuously progressive disease, better treatment effects depend on earlier diagnosis. Early diagnosis and design and development of targeting Aβ are of great significance for the treatment of AD.
[0003] The development of detection reagents for Aβ42 and Aβ42 / Aβ40 markers not only faces the difficulty of preparing high-affinity and high-specificity antibodies, but also presents stability issues due to the high hydrophobicity and self-aggregation ability of the Aβ1-40 or Aβ1-42 calibrator peptides. Therefore, the amino acid sequence of the calibrator peptides is designed and modified. Adjusting the amino acid sequence without affecting the reactivity with the antibody while improving its stability will facilitate the wider application of the detection reagents.
[0004] Summary of the Invention
[0005] To optimize the stability of calibrator polypeptides for β-amyloid proteins such as Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42, the present invention provides modified calibrator polypeptides. The resulting modified polypeptides can remain stable for a long time and their reactivity with antibodies is consistent with that of the original polypeptides. Therefore, they can be used to prepare AD diagnostic reagent calibrators or AD diagnostic kits.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] The present invention first provides a modified β-amyloid protein polypeptide, which includes peptide segment 1, peptide segment 2, and peptide segment 3 located between peptide segment 1 and peptide segment 2. Peptide segment 1 contains DAEFR (SEQ ID NO: 9), peptide segment 2 contains VGGVV (SEQ ID NO: 18), and peptide segment 3 is composed of non-hydrophobic amino acids. A connecting compound is added between peptide segment 1 and peptide segment 3, and between peptide segment 2 and peptide segment 3.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the amino acids in the modified β-amyloid protein polypeptide are all D-amino acids.
[0009] In a further embodiment, in the above-mentioned modified β-amyloid protein polypeptide, the amino acid sequence of peptide segment one may be DAEFR (SEQ ID NO: 9) or DAEFRH (SEQ ID NO: 10), the amino acid sequence of peptide segment two may be VGGVVIA (SEQ ID NO: 11), MVGGVVIA (SEQ ID NO: 12), GLMVGGVV (SEQ ID NO: 13) or IGLMVGGVV (SEQ ID NO: 14), peptide segment three contains D and E, and the amino acid sequence of peptide segment three may specifically be DEDEDEDEDEDE (SEQ ID NO: 15) or DDDEDDDEDDDE (SEQ ID NO: 16), and the non-hydrophobic linking compound may be (PEG4)3, (CH2)6 or GGGS (SEQ ID NO: 17).

[0011] The present invention further provides modified Aβ1-42 polypeptides. The modified Aβ1-42 polypeptides include Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3. The modified Aβ42 polypeptides Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3 are modified from the original Aβ42 polypeptide having the amino acid sequence DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQKLVFFAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVVIA (shown in SEQ ID NO: 1).

[0014] Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of the modified Aβ42 polypeptide Aβ42-V3 is DAEFRH-GGGS-DEDEDEDEDEDE-GGGS-MVGGVVIA (shown in SEQ ID NO: 5), and the amino acid molecular weight is 3705.
[0015] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified Aβ42 polypeptides Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3 comprises the following steps: chemically synthesizing the amino acid sequences of the modified Aβ42 polypeptides using a peptide solid-phase synthesis method to obtain the complete sequences; and then desalting the resulting products using HPLC reverse-phase column chromatography to obtain the modified Aβ42 polypeptides.
[0016] The present invention further provides modified Aβ1-40 polypeptides. The modified Aβ1-40 polypeptides include Aβ40-V1, Aβ40-V2, and Aβ40-V3. The modified Aβ40 polypeptides, Aβ40-V1, Aβ40-V2, and Aβ40-V3, are modified from the original Aβ40 polypeptide having the amino acid sequence DAEFRHDSGYEVHHQKLVFFAEDVGSNKGAIIGLMVGGVV (shown in SEQ ID NO: 2).
[0017] Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of the modified Aβ40 polypeptide Aβ40-V1 is DAEFR-(PEG4)3-DEDEDEDEDEDE-(PEG4)3-GLMVGGVV (shown in SEQ ID NO: 6), and the amino acid molecular weight is 3001.
[0018] Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of the modified Aβ40 polypeptide Aβ40-V2 is DAEFRH-(CH2)6-DDDEDDDEDDDE-(CH2)6-IGLMVGGVV (shown in SEQ ID NO: 7), and the amino acid molecular weight is 3222.
[0019] Furthermore, the amino acid sequence of the modified Aβ40 polypeptide Aβ40-V3 is DAEFRH-GGGS-DEDEDEDEDEDE-GGGS-IGLMVGGVV (shown in SEQ ID NO: 8), and the amino acid molecular weight is 3810.
[0020] Furthermore, the preparation method of the modified Aβ40 polypeptides Aβ40-V1, Aβ40-V2, and Aβ40-V3 comprises the following steps: chemically synthesizing the amino acid sequences of the modified Aβ40 polypeptides using a peptide solid-phase synthesis method to obtain the complete sequences; and then desalting the resulting sequences using HPLC reverse-phase column chromatography to obtain the modified Aβ40 polypeptides.
[0021] In addition, the present invention also provides for the use of the aforementioned modified β-amyloid protein polypeptides for preparing a calibrator for an Alzheimer's disease diagnostic reagent. In specific applications, the Alzheimer's disease diagnostic reagent calibrator may comprise only a modified Aβ42 polypeptide or only a modified Aβ40 polypeptide, or the Alzheimer's disease diagnostic reagent calibrator may comprise both a modified Aβ42 polypeptide and a modified Aβ40 polypeptide. When using a modified Aβ42 polypeptide as a calibrator for an Alzheimer's disease diagnostic reagent, at least one of Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3 may be used. When using a modified Aβ40 polypeptide as a calibrator for an Alzheimer's disease diagnostic reagent, at least one of Aβ40-V1, Aβ40-V2, and Aβ40-V3 may be used.
[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0058] Example 3 Verification of the Reactivity between Modified Aβ42 Peptides and Antibodies
[0059] Three batches of BALB / c mice were immunized with Aβ(37-42) synthetic peptide (sequence: GGVVIA) and Aβ(1-5) synthetic peptide (sequence: DAEFR), three mice each time. Each mouse was immunized with 50 μg of antigen each time, for a total of three immunizations. After the booster immunization, the spleen cells of the immunized mice were aseptically taken and fused with SP2 / 0 mouse myeloma cells. The positive hybridoma cell lines were subcloned and screened three times to obtain two hybridoma cell lines that secreted specific monoclonal antibodies. Hybridoma cell line A specifically recognized the peptide Aβ(1-5) sequence (as an antibody for detecting Aβ40 and Aβ42), and hybridoma cell line B specifically recognized the peptide Aβ(37-42) sequence (as an antibody for capturing Aβ42). After one week of adaptive feeding, 10-12 week old BALB / c mice were intraperitoneally injected with the immunosuppressant liquid paraffin, 0.5 mL / mouse. Seven days later, hybridoma cells that stably secreted antibodies and were in good condition were inoculated in the abdomen, about 1×10 6 ~2×10 6 After 7-10 days, the mice were allowed to swell, and ascites were extracted and the supernatants were pooled. Protein G was used to purify the ascites from both mice, and the purified antibodies were subjected to SDS-PAGE for purity verification. The results showed bands at 50 kD and 25 kD for both antibodies, with grayscale analysis showing purities exceeding 90%. Titer verification of both antibodies revealed a titer of 1:128,000.
[0060] Reactivity was determined using ELISA. Specifically, microplates were coated with 0.1 μg / mL of the original Aβ42 peptide (Aβ42-original), the modified Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3 in carbonate buffer (pH 9.5) overnight at 4°C. Two-fold serial dilutions of the homemade Aβ42 capture antibody and Aβ42 detection antibody were then added to the microplates and reacted at 37°C for 1 hour. After washing, goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (50 ng / mL) was added. After a 1-hour reaction, the plates were washed three times and the colorimetric readings were obtained. As shown in Table 1, the activities of the modified Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3 were consistent with those of the original Aβ42 peptide in the reaction with the Aβ42 capture antibody or detection antibody.

[0062] Example 4 Verification of the Reactivity between Modified Aβ40 Peptides and Antibodies
[0063] Three batches of BALB / c mice were immunized with Aβ(35-40) synthetic peptide (sequence: MVGGVV), 3 mice each time. Each mouse was immunized with 50 μg of antigen each time, for a total of 3 immunizations. After the booster immunization, the spleen cells of the immunized mice were aseptically taken and fused with SP2 / 0 mouse myeloma cells. The positive hybridoma cell lines were subcloned and screened 3 times to obtain a hybridoma cell line C that secreted a specific monoclonal antibody that specifically recognized the Aβ(35-40) sequence (as an Aβ40 capture antibody). After one week of adaptive feeding, 10-12 week old BALB / c mice were intraperitoneally injected with the immunosuppressant liquid paraffin, 0.5 mL / mouse. Seven days later, hybridoma cells that stably secreted antibodies and were in good condition were inoculated in the abdomen, about 1×10 6 ~2×10 6 After 7-10 days, the mice were allowed to swell, and ascites were extracted and the supernatants were pooled. Protein G was used to purify the ascites, and the purified antibodies were subjected to SDS-PAGE for purity verification. The results showed bands at 50 kD and 25 kD, with grayscale analysis showing purities exceeding 90%. Antibody titers were also confirmed at 1:128,000 for both antibodies.
[0064] Reactivity was determined using ELISA. Specifically, microplates were coated with 100 μL of 0.1 μg / mL of the original Aβ40 peptide (Aβ40-original), the modified Aβ40-V1, Aβ40-V2, and Aβ40-V3 in carbonate buffer (pH 9.5) at 4°C overnight. Two-fold serial dilutions of the homemade Aβ40 capture antibody and Aβ40 detection antibody were then added to the microplates and reacted for 1 hour at 37°C. After washing, goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (50 ng / mL) was added, and the reaction was continued for 1 hour, followed by washing three times and colorimetric reading. As shown in Table 2, the modified Aβ40-V1, Aβ40-V2, and Aβ40-V3 exhibited the same activity as the original Aβ40 peptide in reactions with the Aβ40 capture and detection antibodies.

[0066] Example 5: Validation of polypeptide modifications as calibrator samples
[0067] Aβ42 detection system: The methodological mode is the double antibody sandwich method, and the detection instrument is the Cosma magnetic particle chemiluminescence analyzer. Specifically, 50 μL of biotin-labeled Aβ42 capture antibody, 50 μL of sample (calibrator or test sample of different concentrations), and 50 μL of Aβ42 detection antibody are added to the instrument in sequence. After reacting for 20 minutes, wash three times. The instrument sends the reaction mixture into the dark room, and adds 100 μL of chemiluminescence pre-excitation solution and 100 μL of chemiluminescence excitation solution in sequence for luminescence reaction, and finally records the luminescence intensity. Draw a calibration curve based on the concentration and luminescence intensity of the calibrator (as shown in Table 3). The Aβ42 content of the test sample is calculated based on the calibration curve and the luminescence intensity of the test sample. The linear range of the calibration curve is 1 to 1024 pg / mL. Figures 1-4 are the calibration curves of Aβ42-original, Aβ42-V1, Aβ42-V2, and Aβ42-V3 as calibrators, respectively, where the Y-axis represents the logarithm of the luminescence value and the X-axis represents the logarithm of the concentration of the Aβ42 calibrator.

[0074] Example 6 Stability Verification of Aβ42 Polypeptide Modifications as Calibrators
[0075] The original Aβ42 peptide and its modified peptide calibrants were stored at 2-8°C for 14 months, and their quality changes were assessed over the 14-month period.
