摘要:

目的 通过原核表达和纯化得到树鼩Vasorin(VASN)重组蛋白,以此蛋白免疫小鼠制备抗树鼩VASN单克隆抗体,并初步评估其应用价值。 方法 采用反转录聚合酶链式反应(reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction,RT-PCR)法体外扩增树鼩VASN基因全长序列,将树鼩VASN基因片段插入到pET-30a载体中,构建pET-30a-VASN重组质粒,用BamHⅠ和SalⅠ对重组质粒进行双酶切鉴定,并通过测序进一步鉴定其正确性;将测序正确的重组质粒转化至BL21(DE3)感受态细胞中,利用异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside,IPTG)诱导表达重组蛋白VASN;通过SDS-PAGE分离蛋白VASN,并利用KCl纯化重组蛋白VASN;用纯化的重组蛋白VASN对BALB/c小鼠进行4次免疫,并通过酶联免疫吸附试验(enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)检测小鼠血清抗体效价;取血清抗体效价达到1∶10 000以上的小鼠的脾脏细胞与骨髓瘤细胞进行细胞融合,先利用含黄嘌呤、氨基蝶呤及胸腺嘧啶核苷(hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine,HAT)的培养基筛选杂交瘤细胞,随后通过ELISA筛选出能够分泌特异性抗体的阳性杂交瘤细胞株,并通过有限稀释法进行亚克隆,获得单克隆杂交瘤细胞株;通过腹水诱生法制备大量VASN单克隆抗体,利用rProtein G纯化抗体,采用ELISA和蛋白质印迹法检测单克隆抗体的结合常数和体外反应的特异性。 结果 成功扩增出树鼩VASN基因并构建了树鼩pET-30a-VASN重组质粒,重组质粒经测序得到的序列与树鼩VASN目的基因序列完全一致;重组蛋白VASN主要以包涵体的形式存在,纯化后的蛋白纯度达到90%,符合后续免疫实验的要求;利用重组蛋白VASN 4次免疫小鼠后,小鼠血清抗体效价达1∶729 000;利用杂交瘤技术及有限稀释法获得单克隆阳性杂交瘤细胞株,通过腹水诱生和纯化得到单克隆抗体,ELISA测定单克隆抗体的结合常数值达2.59×107 L/mol;蛋白质印迹法结果显示,树鼩VASN单克隆抗体能与树鼩VASN重组蛋白结合,与猪视黄醇结合蛋白4重组蛋白、人源VASN-富含亮氨酸重复序列重组蛋白以及牛血清白蛋白均无结合反应;而抗树鼩VASN单克隆抗体能特异性识别树鼩心脏、肝脏、脾脏、肺脏、肾脏和肌肉组织中的VASN蛋白,且条带明显、背景清晰。免疫组织化学检测结果显示,该单克隆抗体可以识别蛋白VASN mRNA表达水平较高的树鼩脾脏、肺脏和树鼩永生化成纤维细胞中的VASN蛋白。 结论 成功制备了抗树鼩VASN的单克隆抗体,该抗体可用于树鼩永生化成纤维细胞、树鼩脾脏组织和肺脏组织的免疫组织化学检测,为进一步探索VASN在树鼩模型中的功能提供了重要的工具。

Abstract:

Objective To obtain tree shrew Vasorin (VASN) recombinant protein through prokaryotic expression and purification, prepare monoclonal antibody against tree shrew VASN by immunizing mice with this protein, and preliminarily evaluate its application value. Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to amplify the full-length sequence of tree shrew VASN gene in vitro. The tree shrew VASN gene fragment was inserted into pET-30a vector to construct pET-30a-VASN recombinant plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was subjected to double digestion with BamHⅠ and SalⅠ for identification, and its correctness was further verified by sequencing. The recombinant plasmid with correct sequencing was transformed into BL21 (DE3) competent cells, and isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) was used to induce expression of VASN recombinant protein. Proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and the VASN recombinant protein was purified by KCl. Purified recombinant protein was used to immunize BALB/c mice for four times, and serum antibody titer was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Splenocytes from mice with serum antibody titer above 1:10 000 were used for cell fusion with myeloma cells. Hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine (HAT) culture medium was first used to screen hybridoma cells. ELISA was used to screen positive hybridoma cell lines that could secrete specific antibodies, and monoclonal hybridoma cell lines were obtained by limiting dilution method. VASN monoclonal antibodies were prepared in large quantities by ascites induction method, purified using rProtein G, and the affinity and in vitro reaction specificity of the monoclonal antibodies were detected by ELISA and Western blotting. Results The full-length sequence of the tree shrew VASN gene was successfully amplified and the recombinant plasmid vector of tree shrew pET-30a-VASN was constructed. The sequence obtained by sequencing of the recombinant plasmid vector was identical to the tree shrew VASN target gene sequence. Recombinant protein VASN mainly existed in the form of inclusion bodies, and the purity after purification reached 90%, meeting the requirements of subsequent immunization experiments. After four immunizations with recombinant protein VASN, mouse serum antibody titer reached 1:729 000. Monoclonal positive hybridoma cell lines were obtained through ascites induction and purification, and the constant affinity value of monoclonal antibodies measured by ELISA reached 2.59x107 L/mol. Western blotting results showed that the tree shrew VASN monoclonal antibody could bind to tree shrew VASN recombinant protein, but it showed no binding reaction with porcine retinol-binding protein 4 recombinant protein, human VASN-leucine rich repeat recombinant protein, or bovine serum albumin. Anti-tree shrew VASN monoclonal antibody could specifically recognize VASN protein in tree shrew heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and muscle, with clear bands and clean background. Immunohistochemical detection results showed that this monoclonal antibody could recognize VASN protein in tree shrew spleen, lung, and tree shrew immortalized fibroblasts with high VASN mRNA expression levels, and the detection results were positive. Conclusion Monoclonal antibody against tree shrew VASN is successfully prepared. This antibody can be used for immunohistochemical detection of tree shrew immortalized fibroblasts, spleen tissue, and lung tissue, providing an important tool for further research on the function of VASN in tree shrew models.
