摘要:
作者最近证明intein的蛋白质剪接技术可用于双载体转B区缺失型FVIII (BDD-FVIII) 基因, 在此 基础上, 本研究将具有促FVIII分泌作用的L303E/F309S双突变和B结构域糖基化位点引入BDD-FVIII重链, 观察重链变体对intein剪接的BDD-FVIII蛋白分泌和活性的影响。用分别融合Ssp DnaB intein的重链变体 (DMN6HCIntN) 和轻链 (IntCLC) 基因共转染培养的293细胞, 用ELISA分析分泌至培养上清液中的剪接BDD-FVIII蛋白量, 并用发色法检测培养上清液的凝血生物活性。结果显示, DMN6HCIntN和IntCLC共转基因细胞上清液中剪接BDD-FVIII的浓度为 (149 ± 23) ng·mL−1, 活性为 (1.12 ± 0.14) u·mL−1, 明显高于intein融合的野生型重链 (HCIntN) 与轻链 (IntCLC) 共转基因细胞 (99 ± 14) ng·mL−1和 (0.77 ± 0.13) u·mL−1, 提示重链变体能明显促进剪接BDD-FVIII蛋白的分泌和活性; 另外, 还检测到不依赖细胞机制的BDD-FVIII剪接。本研究为进一步动物体内双AAV载体转BDD-FVIII基因研究提供了依据。
Abstract:We recently demonstrated that an intein-mediated protein splicing can be used to transfer B-domain-deleted FVIII (BDD-FVIII) gene by a dual-vector. In this study, we observed the effect of a variant heavy chain with six potential glycosylation sites of B domain and L303E/F309S mutations in its A1 domain, which were proven to be beneficial for FVIII secretion, on secretion of spliced BDD-FVIII. By transient co-transfection of cultured 293 cells with intein-fused variant heavy chain (DMN6HCIntN) and light chain (IntCLC) genes, the culture supernatant was analyzed quantitatively by ELISA for secreted spliced BDD-FVIII antigen and by a chromogenic assay for bioactivity. The data showed that the amount of spliced BDD-FVIII protein and coagulation activity in culture supernatant from DMN6HCIntN plus IntCLC co-transfected cells were up to (149 ± 23) ng·mL−1 and (1.12 ± 0.14) u·mL−1 respectively greater than that of intein-fused wild type heavy (HCIntN) and light chain (IntCLC) co-transfected cells (99 ± 14) ng·mL−1 and (0.77 ± 0.13) u·mL−1 indicating that the variant heavy chain is able to improve the secretion of spliced BDD-FVIII and activity. A cellular mechanism-independent BDD-FVIII splicing was also observed. It provided evidence for ongoing animal experiment using intein-mediated dual-AAV vector technology for delivery of the BDD-FVIII genes.
