of multiepitope protein as an candidate to this study, the codon-optimized encoding sequence of the designed multi-epitope construct (Gag-Pol-Env-Nef-Rev) was synthesized and subcloned into the pET-24a (+) expression vector. Then, expression of the target antigen was evaluated in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and Rosetta strains under different conditions (temperature, optical density/ OD 600 , isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) concentration, and time). Finally, the expression of the Gag-Pol-Env-Nef-Rev multi-epitope protein was confirmed using SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. Results: The highly conserved and immunodominant T-cell epitopes of HIV-1 Gag, Pol, Env, Nef, and Rev proteins were used to prepare a novel Gag-Pol-Env-Nef-Rev multi-epitope construct. The gag-pol-env-nef-rev gene was successfully sub-cloned in pET-24a (+) vector and subsequently expressed in BL21 (DE3) E. coli strain under optimized conditions (1 mM IPTG, 16 h post-induction, OD 600 = 0.6, and 37ºC). A clear band of ~ 35 kDa was detected by western blotting using an anti-His antibody, indicating the successful expression of our target multi-epitope protein. Conclusion: Expression of the recombinant HIV-1 multi-epitope protein was optimized in a bacterial system. The expressed protein will be purified to use as a multi-epitope protein vaccine candidate in the future.
将设计的多表位构建体的密码子优化编码序列(Gag-Pol-Env-Nef-Rev)合成并亚克隆到pET-24a(+)表达载体上。然后,在不同条件(温度、光密度/ OD值600、异丙基β- d -1-硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)浓度和时间)下,评估目标抗原在大肠杆菌BL21 (DE3)和Rosetta菌株中的表达情况。最后,利用SDS-PAGE和western blot分析证实Gag-Pol-Env-Nef-Rev多表位蛋白的表达。结果:利用HIV-1 Gag、Pol、Env、Nef和Rev蛋白高度保守且具有免疫优势的t细胞表位,制备了Gag-Pol-Env-Nef-Rev多表位结构。gag-pol-env-nef-rev基因在pET-24a(+)载体上成功亚克隆,并在优化条件(1 mM IPTG,诱导后16 h, OD 600 = 0.6, 37℃)下在BL21 (DE3)大肠杆菌中表达。使用抗his抗体,western blotting检测到~ 35 kDa的清晰条带,表明我们的目标多表位蛋白成功表达。结论:重组HIV-1多表位蛋白在细菌系统中的表达得到优化。表达的蛋白将被纯化,将来用作多表位蛋白候选疫苗。

Transient Gene Expression: an Approach for Recombinant Vaccine Production 瞬时基因表达:一种生产重组疫苗的方法
Pub Date : 2021-03-01 DOI: 10.52547/JOMMID.9.1.46

The production of recombinant vaccines in green plants is an attractive and promising topic in genetic engineering. However, the stable transformation of green plants is a time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive practice. Moreover, public concerns about genetically modified plants put another limitation on the development and release of transgenic plant-based recombinant vaccines. These shortcomings were addressed by developing transient gene expression systems that allow researchers to investigate candidate recombinant vaccines quickly without tedious work and high costs. A comprehensive literature review was used to gather relevant information. This approach has received much attention in various recombinant vaccine production platforms, including mammalian cell culture, insect cell culture, yeast expression systems, and, more importantly, in plant hosts. Due to their simplicity and efficiency, transient gene expression systems are now widely used to validate gene constructs and transgene expression within plant tissues. This paper describes the concept of transient gene expression and discusses the significant advantages of this approach for producing recombinant vaccines. Notably, the major types of transient gene expression viz. agroinfiltration, viral-based systems, and application of naked plasmid in plant cell culture are introduced, and some examples illustrate the pros and cons of each system. Our literature review also discusses some practical notes on the successful application of this system to provide a more comprehensive image of transient gene expression applicability in green plants. As a whole, this review contributes to the existing literature by shedding more light on various aspects of transient gene expression that have not been addressed thoroughly yet.
在绿色植物中生产重组疫苗是基因工程领域一个极具吸引力和前景的研究课题。然而,绿色植物的稳定转化是一个耗时、昂贵和劳动密集型的实践。此外,公众对转基因植物的担忧也限制了转基因植物重组疫苗的开发和释放。这些缺点通过开发瞬时基因表达系统得到了解决,该系统使研究人员能够快速研究候选重组疫苗,而无需繁琐的工作和高昂的成本。通过全面的文献综述来收集相关信息。这种方法在各种重组疫苗生产平台中受到了广泛关注,包括哺乳动物细胞培养、昆虫细胞培养、酵母表达系统,更重要的是,在植物宿主中。瞬态基因表达系统由于其简单和高效,现在被广泛用于验证基因构建和植物组织内的转基因表达。本文介绍了瞬时基因表达的概念,并讨论了这种方法在生产重组疫苗方面的显著优势。特别介绍了瞬时基因表达的主要类型,即农业渗透、基于病毒的系统和裸质粒在植物细胞培养中的应用,并举例说明了每种系统的优缺点。我们的文献综述还讨论了该系统成功应用的一些实际注意事项,以提供更全面的绿色植物瞬时基因表达适用性图像。总的来说,这篇综述对现有的文献做出了贡献,揭示了瞬时基因表达的各个方面,这些方面还没有得到彻底的解决。

Background: Silibinin (silibinin A) is the most active silymarin component, which acts both as a hepatoprotective [1] and an antiviral agent. The present study investigated the silibinin effect on IFN-related innate immune genes in PBMCs from HCV-infected patients. Method: 22 chronic HCV patients, including 10 IFN responders and 12 non-responders, were included. Their isolated PBMCs were treated for 6 hours in the presence of silibinin, IFN-α, or their combination. The transcription level of TLR7, ISG15, and SOCS1 genes was compared using real-time PCR. Result: Our result showed that IFN-α induced a significant up-regulation of TLR7 and ISG15 in PBMCs of both responder and non-responder groups. Nevertheless, the SOCS1 gene was not significantly changed in the non-responder group (P=0.32). The combination of IFNα- and silibinin showed a similar pattern to IFN-α alone. By itself, silibinin did not leave a significant change on the expression level of the studied genes . Conclusion: The results indicated that silibinin did not enhance or suppress the expression level of TLR7, ISG15, and SOCS1 genes. Therefore, it has been suggested that its anti-inflammatory role might be devoid of IFN pathways.
背景:水飞蓟宾(Silibinin,水飞蓟宾A)是水飞蓟素中活性最高的成分,具有肝脏保护作用[1]和抗病毒作用。本研究探讨水飞蓟宾对hcv感染患者外周血中ifn相关先天免疫基因的影响。方法:22例慢性HCV患者,其中IFN应答者10例,无应答者12例。他们分离的pbmc在水飞蓟宾、IFN-α或它们的联合存在下处理6小时。采用real-time PCR比较TLR7、ISG15和SOCS1基因的转录水平。结果:IFN-α诱导应答组和非应答组PBMCs中TLR7和ISG15表达显著上调。然而,无应答组的SOCS1基因无明显变化(P=0.32)。IFN-α -与水飞蓟宾素的联合作用模式与IFN-α单独作用模式相似。水飞蓟宾本身对所研究基因的表达水平没有留下明显的变化。结论:水飞蓟宾对TLR7、ISG15、SOCS1基因的表达没有增强或抑制作用。因此,有人认为其抗炎作用可能缺乏IFN途径。

In recent decades, some 30 new human pathogens have been identified, of which 75% were spillovers from animals. In late 2019, human infections with a new coronavirus from an unknown origin emerged in China and later spread worldwide. The zoonotic source of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 remains unknown, and there is only some limited information about the close association between the first human cases of COVID-19 and visiting animal markets. Now, bats and pangolins are suspected as natural hosts, and large cats, raccoon dogs, dogs, minks, ferrets, and pangolins as intermediate hosts. There is not enough evidence to prove that animals can transmit COVID-19 infection to humans, but there are some data about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between humans and some animal species.
近几十年来,已经发现了大约30种新的人类病原体,其中75%是来自动物的溢出物。2019年底,中国出现了一种来源不明的新型冠状病毒的人类感染,后来传播到世界各地。严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2的人畜共患来源仍然未知,关于COVID-19首例人间病例与参观动物市场之间的密切联系,只有一些有限的信息。现在,蝙蝠和穿山甲被怀疑是自然宿主,大型猫科动物、浣熊狗、狗、水貂、雪貂和穿山甲是中间宿主。没有足够的证据证明动物可以将COVID-19感染传播给人类,但有一些关于SARS-CoV-2在人类和一些动物物种之间传播的数据。

In late 2019, human infections with a new coronavirus from an unknown origin emerged in China and later spread worldwide. The zoonotic source of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 remains unknown, and there is only some limited information about the close association between the first human cases of COVID-19 and visiting animal markets. Now, bats and pangolins are suspected as natural hosts, and large cats, raccoon dogs, dogs, minks, ferrets, and pangolins as intermediate hosts. There is not enough evidence to prove that animals can transmit COVID-19 infection to humans, but there are some data about the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 between humans and some animal species.","PeriodicalId":34460,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80926891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
