摘要： 目的扩增、表达抗人宫颈癌单链抗体(ScFv)基因;对ScFv蛋白进行活性鉴定、二级结构、三维结构预测和理化性质分析.方法采用基因重组技术构建抗人宫颈癌ScFv基因,进行TG1和HB2151两个原核体系的表达;SDS-PAGE、Westernblotting、竞争抑制实验、免疫组化反应检测ScFv;用Antheprot4.3软件、Swiss-model、3dpssm进行蛋白理化性质分析和立体结构模拟.结果抗人宫颈癌可溶性ScFv大小为32 000左右,与预计蛋白相对分子质量相符;可溶性和展示性ScFv均可与人宫颈癌细胞株细胞膜表面抗原结合.免疫组化显示能与宫颈癌组织特异性结合而不与正常宫颈组织和其他肿瘤组织结合.ScFv蛋白等电点预测值为7.215,属于α+β蛋白;VH和VL区均有多个蛋白激酶C磷酸化位点和酪氨酸激酶Ⅱ磷酸化位点.三维结构预测显示linker贴近,使VL和VH形成一个疏水的"口袋",这一结构有利于抗原的结合.结论经基因工程方法制备的抗人宫颈癌ScFv具有与亲本单克隆抗体相似的抗体活性和特异性.抗人宫颈癌ScFv构建为进一步构建双特异性ScFv和双功能ScFv基因创造了条件;其成功的表达为人宫颈癌的早期诊断和特异性治疗打下了基础.计算机对ScFv蛋白的空间结构的模拟和理化性质的分析为ScFv的进一步改建和抗原、抗体反应的研究提供了宝贵的资料.

Abstract: Objective To amplify and express the gene encoding murinc single-chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody against human cervical cancer and predict the secondary structure and three-dimensional structure of the antibody. Methods The gene fragments coding for the variable region of the heavy and light chains of scFv antibody against human cervical cancer were amplified respectively using recombinant DNA techniques from CsA125 hybridoma cells, and spliced together using a flexible linker to the antibody. The scFv genes were then cloned into the expression vector pCANTAB 5E and expressed in E.coli HB2151 and TG1, respectively. The scFv antibody obtained was assayed using SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, and immuno-histochemical analysis, with its secondary structure and three-dimensional structure predicted with Swiss-model and 3dpssm. The physicochemical properties of the antibody were analyzed with Antheprot software. Results The expressed scFv antibody was soluble and phage-displayed. The specific binding capacity of the soluble and phage-displayed scFv antibody to the surface-associated antigen of human cervical cancer cell line were further confirmed. The scFv antibody had a relative molecular mass of 32 000 as was consistent to theoretical prediction, with pI of 7.215 and characterized to belong to α+βprotein. The antibody contained many protein kinase C phosphorylation sites and casein kinase Ⅱphosphorylation sites in both the VH and VL domains. Computer graphic modeling indicated that the linker was isolated from the VH and VL domains, which formed a hydrophobic pocket in the molecule to facilitate antigen binding. Conclusions The soluble and phage displayed scFv antibody expressed in E.coli against human cervical cancer shows high and specific affinity to the cervical cancer cell line surface-associated antigen. The construction and analysis of the molecular model of the antibody may facilitate further studies in engineering of the antibody and exploration of the mechanism of the antigen-antibody interaction.
