摘要: 目的 原核表达、纯化由人表皮生长因子受体3(HER3)183-227aa肽段(HER3Ⅰ)和麻疹病毒蛋白288-302aa肽段(MVF)融合构建的重组肽(MVF-HER3Ⅰ),并制备其多克隆抗体。方法 将MVF与HER3Ⅰ融合构建重组肽MVF-HER3Ⅰ,用化学合成法合成重组肽基因,并将其与pET21b质粒和含有硫氧还蛋白(Trx)基因的pET32a质粒连接构建重组肽表达质粒,重组质粒用双酶切法鉴定。将重组质粒导入到大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)并进行表达参数优化及诱导表达。融合蛋白依次经镍离子亲和层析、肠激酶酶切和再次镍离子亲和层析制备重组肽。表达和纯化过程中的样品纯度和相对分子质量用SDS-PAGE分析。以纯化的重组肽为抗原免疫大鼠制备多克隆抗体。用ELISA法测定抗重组肽多克隆抗体效价,免疫印迹和免疫沉淀法分析抗重组肽多克隆抗体对重组肽和非变性状态HER3的识别,激光共聚焦法分析抗重组肽多克隆抗体与MCF7 细胞的结合,磺酰罗丹明B染色法测定在有无神经调节素刺激下抗重组肽多克隆抗体对高表达HER3的MCF7细胞的增殖抑制作用。结果 成功构建了重组肽的两种表达质粒,重组肽基因不能单独表达,但和Trx融合后可在37 ℃、0.2 mmol/L IPTG条件下呈可溶高表达。融合蛋白经亲和层析、酶切和再次亲和层析后得到重组肽。重组肽可刺激大鼠产生效价达1:512 000的抗重组肽多克隆抗体。该抗体不仅可特异性识别重组肽,还可特异性沉淀非变性HER3和结合于MCF7细胞的细胞膜。不管有无神经调节素刺激,该抗体均呈浓度依赖性地抑制HER3高表达的MCF7细胞的增殖(P<0.01)。结论 成功进行了重组肽 MVF-HER3Ⅰ的原核表达和纯化,制备并鉴定了抗MVF-HER3Ⅰ多克隆抗体,为在体内外深入研究该抗体对HER3信号通路的影响打下基础。

Abstract: Objective To prepare the recombinant peptide MVF-HER3 I composed of the 183-227aa peptide segment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3 I) and the measles virus protein 288-302 peptide segment (MVF), and prepare polyclonal antibodies (PcAb) against this recombinant peptide. Methods The MVF-HER3 I gene was synthesized chemically and subcloned into pET21b or pET32a plasmid containing Thioredoxin (Trx) tag gene. The recombinant plasmids were identified by endonuclease digestion. MVF-HER3 I was expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3) cells under an optimal bacterial expression condition. The fusion protein Trx-MVF-HER3 I was purified using nickel ion affinity chromatography, and the purified protein was digested by enterokinase to remove Trx tag. The digested mixture underwent further nickel ion affinity chromatography to obtain purified MVF-HER3 I. The purified MVF-HER3 I was used to immunize SD rats subcutaneously for preparing anti-MVF-HER3 I PcAb. The titer of PcAb was determined using ELISA. The bindings of anti-MVF-HER3 I PcAb to MVF-HER3 I, native HER3 and MCF7 cells were analyzed using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation and laser confocal microscopy. The growth inhibition effect of the antibodies on MCF7 cells cultured in the absence or presence of NRG was assessed using sulforhodamine B. Results The recombinant peptide gene could not be expressed alone, but could be efficiently expressed after fusion with Trx gene under optimized conditions. The fusion peptide MVF-HER3 I was successfully prepared from Trx-MVF-HER3 I. The anti-MVF-HER3 I PcAb, with a titer reaching 1: 512 000, specifically bound to MVF-HER3 I, recognized native HER3 and bound to the membrane of MCF7 cells. The obtained PcAb could dose-dependently inhibit the growth of MCF7 cells irrespective of the presence or absence of NRG. Conclusion We successfully obtained the recombinant peptide MVF-HER3 I and prepared its PcAb, which can facilitate further functional analysis of HER3 signaling pathway
