UL144基因修饰的树突状细胞诱导免疫耐受
[Abstract]:Lymphocyte activation requires not only signals from antigen receptors (including T cell receptors (TCR) and B cell receptors (BCR), but also second signals from costimulatory or co-inhibitory molecules, which together regulate the degree, quality and persistence of lymphocyte activation. The co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules on the surface include not only immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily members such as CD28 and CTLA-4, but also tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) TNF family members such as CD27, CD30, 4-1BB and Fas. Members of the protein superfamily mainly receive signals from antigen-presenting cell (APC) and B7 family proteins expressed in peripheral tissues, while members of the TNFR-TNF superfamily can bind to neurotrophin by a few receptors, such as nerve growth factor receptor, and HVEM (herpes vius entry mediator) can bind to herpes simplex virus type I (her). In addition to the binding of glycoprotein D (HSVI) to PES simplex virus type I, almost all of them are associated with members of this family. Or induction of apoptosis, this functional feature of the superfamily members is mainly due to the fact that most of its members are induced to express after T cell activation.
BTLA (B and T lymphocyte attenuator) is a recently discovered inhibitory receptor of the Ig superfamily. Although it has a similar structure to CTLA-4, its ligand is not a member of the classical B7 family, but the HEVM of the TNFR-TNF superfamily. This is the only pair of Ig superfamily members that has been found so far to interact with the members of the TNFR-TNF superfamily. In addition to BTLA, HVEM also has another important membrane binding molecule, LIGHT, which transmits signals to maintain T cell activation. By binding to BTLA and LIGHT, HVEM plays a biphasic role in regulating T cell activation. The analysis of the crystal structure of BTLA-HVEM complex suggests that HVEM may be able to bind both LIGHT and BTLA in vitro and be pure. UL144 is a long idiotypic sequence homologous to HVEM. UL144 binds to BTLA but does not bind to LIGHT and inhibits T cell proliferation. It selectively mimics the co-inhibition function of HVEM.
UL144 gene products bind to BTLA and inhibit T cell proliferation in vitro, and the effect is stronger than that of HVEM. Because BTLA is expressed in differentiated CD 4~+ T cells and is permanently expressed in Th1 cells, in this study, we considered the possibility of inducing DC to express UL144 by transgene to become a tolerant DC, or an epitope. In this study, we will choose experimental autoimmune myocarditis as a model to study the reconstruction of autoimmune tolerance by regulating the UL144-BTLA pathway to achieve the treatment of autoimmune diseases with Th1-type response.
In this study, the recombinant adenovirus was designed to amplify the full-length fragment of UL144 by PCR using hCMV DNA as template, and constructed the full-length fragment of UL144 by conventional molecular biological methods. Adenovirus expression vector (pAdEasy-1 system); adenovirus vector was packaged by HEK293 cells to produce recombinant adenovirus Ad-CMV-UL144 containing UL144 fragment, and purified adenovirus with high titer was obtained by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation; the titer of recombinant adenovirus was detected by TCID_ (50) method; DC was infected by AD-CMV-UL144 to study the phenotype changes. And the secretion of cytokines. Through DC infection, mixed lymphocyte reaction with T cells was used to study the inhibitory activity. * Balb/c mice were immunized with purified porcine cardiac myosin, and induced the production of experimental autoimmune myocarditis animal models. The recombinant adenovirus was injected into the caudal vein 0~2 days and 14~16 days after re immunization respectively. To observe the therapeutic effect of Ad-CMV-UL144 on experimental autoimmune myocarditis and study its inhibitory effect in vivo.
Part one construction and purification of recombinant adenovirus vector carrying UL144 gene fragment
In this part, the conventional molecular biology method was used to extract the cDNA from peripheral blood of CMV-DNA positive patients. According to primers designed by Primer 3 software, UL144 target fragments were amplified by PCR; polyclonal sites were obtained by pMD18-T vector and loaded into the recombinant shuttle plasmid pAdTrack-CMV. The recombinant adenovirus plasmid carrying UL144 gene was obtained by homologous recombination with the recombinant adenovirus cytoskeleton plasmid pAdEasy-1. After identification, the recombinant adenovirus plasmid was purified and linearized with endonuclease Pac I. The recombinant adenovirus granule UL144 was transfected into HEK293 cells. UL144 gene was successfully expressed in eLa cells by RT-PCR. The recombinant adenovirus was amplified, collected, suspended with PBS and purified by CsCl double density gradient centrifugation after repeated freezing and thawing for three times. The titer of 10~ (10) /mL and control AD-GFP was 1 x 10~ (10) /mL.
Part 2 Effect of recombinant adenovirus-mediated expression of UL144 protein on the function of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells in mice
In this part, the effects of recombinant adenovirus-mediated UL144 transfection on DC immunophenotype and cytokine secretion were observed, and the changes of antigen presenting ability and stimulating ability of effector T cells were observed. The recombinant adenovirus vector carrying UL144 coding sequence was infected and treated with normal DC and GFP as control. Immature DC cultured for 6 days and added lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 hours were induced to mature DC. The results showed that the expression levels of CD40, CD80 (B7.1), CD86 (B7.2), Ia~d (MHC II) on the surface of DC cells were significantly higher with LPS-induced maturation. The expression levels of CD40, CD80, CD86 and Ia~d in UL144-modified DC cells were lower than those in the control group, and the up-regulation of the above-mentioned molecules induced by LPS was inhibited to some extent, indicating that UL144-modified DC could inhibit the maturation of DC. The ability of secreting TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-1 beta in UL144-modified DC cells was weakened, and the specific reactive lymph nodes between the DC and OVA_ (323-339) peptide were fine. Co-culture experiments showed that UL144 gene-modified DC could directly inhibit the proliferation of OVA_ (323-339) peptide-specific lymphocytes, suggesting that UL144 gene-modified DC could inhibit the proliferation of OVA_ (323-339) peptide-specific lymphocytes, which may be partly due to the reduction of TNF-a and IL-6 secretion. It has been proved that UL144 gene modified DC has the ability to maintain relatively immature state and weaken the stimulation function to antigen-specific T-effector cells.
The third part is the prevention and treatment of experimental autoimmune myocarditis by UL144 protein modified dendritic cells.
6 week old Balb/c mice were injected subcutaneously with 200 * g purified porcine cardiac myosin at 0 days and seventh days respectively. The experimental autoimmune myocarditis models were prepared. After two weeks of the first immunization, the UL144 protein DC was expressed by 5 x 10~6 recombinant adenoviral vector 1 times a week, and at the same time, no load was observed. The DC transfected with virus Ad-GFP was used as the control group, and the simple immunization group was set up as the control group. The mice were sacrificed on the 21st day after the first immunization. The heart and spleen were dissected. Myocardial pathological examination and plasma cTnI concentration were used to judge the degree of myocardial lesion, and the titer of anti-myocardial coagulation protein antibody and total IgG were determined. The humoral immune function of mice was assessed by measuring the proliferation and cytokine secretion of splenic mononuclear cells stimulated by ConA and cardiac myosin. The activation of lymphocyte subsets in spleen and lymph nodes was measured by flow cytometry.
Although several mice in the Ad-CMV-UL144 treatment group and the AD-CMV-GFP control group died of unknown causes, the results showed that UL144 gene-modified DC could alleviate the degree of cardiomyopathy, reduce the level of autoantibodies to myosin, inhibit the stimulation of splenic mononuclear cells to myosin, and drain lymph nodes and spleens. These results indicate that UL144 gene modified DC can reduce the degree of myocarditis and has a certain therapeutic effect on experimental autoimmune myocarditis induced by myosin.
