柞蚕核型多角体病毒基因表达载体系统的构建与基因表达

柞蚕是一种野外饲养的经济昆虫,主要分布在我国东北部山区。柞蚕以蛹滞育越冬,其蚕蛹个大、容易固定、保存时间长、无须饲养、容易运输等优点。利用柞蚕蛹作为生物反应器生产外来蛋白质,可以大规模机械化生产,减少操作上的烦琐和劳动力。本文利用柞蚕核型多角体病毒(AnpeNPV)作为基因表达载体,在柞蚕培养细胞(AnPe细胞)和柞蚕蛹中成功地表达了β-半乳糖苷酶基因（LacZ）,并利用AnPe细胞筛选、纯化获得了AnpeLacZ重组病毒。该重组病毒的β-半乳糖苷酶产量,在TC-100(含10%FBS)培养的AnPe细胞中最高酶活性为感染后第12天的40.9 units/ml,在SF-900Ⅱ培养的AnPe细胞中最高酶活性为感染后第18天的59.9 units/ml,后者表达量稍高,但时间滞后。AnpeLacZ在5℃保存了7个月的柞蚕蛹中,感染后第15天酶活性达到最高,雌蛹14.3 units/g,雄蛹11.7 units/g,雌蛹比雄蛹略高。结果显示,柞蚕核型多角体病毒和柞蚕蛹可以作为一个可以机械化大规模生产的新型杆状病毒基因表达载体系统开发和利用。     

异源多角体蛋白对家蚕核型多角体病毒粒子的包装

利用PCR方法从AcMNPV基因组DNA中分离出多角体蛋白基因 ,将该扩增片段克隆到转移载体pBacPAK8中 ,得到重组转移载体pOAc。将该质粒DNA与线性化的Bm BacPAK6病毒基因组DNA共传染BmN细胞 ,得到了能形成多角体且不产生蓝色空斑的重组病毒hp BmNPV。纯化该重组病毒的多角体颗粒 ,并对多角体蛋白、病毒核酸及多角体病毒颗粒进行分析 ,发现AcMNPV的多角体蛋白能在家蚕细胞中大量表达且能在细胞内识别家蚕核型多角体病毒并组装成多角体颗粒 ;病毒基因组DNA因部分交换 ,其酶切行为发生了相应的变化 ;电镜观察发现经AcMNPV多角体蛋白包装的家蚕核型多角体病毒的多角体颗粒大小为1 2 μm～ 2 9μm ,明显小于野生型家蚕核型多角体病毒的多角体颗粒     

以柞蚕NPV为载体在柞蚕蛹体内表达外源基因获得成功

辽宁省农科院大连生物技术研究所张春发等人利用柞蚕核型多角体病毒(ApNpV)组建成转移载体,并以此载体携带外源基因(人白细胞介素-4、DE糖蛋白)在草地贪夜蛾Sf9昆虫细胞、柞蚕卵巢细胞以及柞蚕蛹活体中表达成功。实验表明,表达产物的确以非融合蛋白形式出现,从而建立了柞蚕NpV载体—柞蚕蛹活体宿主表达系统。这是继菌苜蓿纹夜蛾核多角体病毒(AcNpV)—Sf9细胞载体表达系统和家蚕核多角体病毒(BmNpV)——家蚕幼虫载体表达系统以后又一个昆虫杆状病毒载体达表系统。由于该系统是利用柞蚕蛹活体为宿主     

柞蚕核型多角体病毒(ApNPV)转移载体质粒pAp M2614的组建

自从美国科学家G.Smith等首次建立苜蓿尺蠖核型多角体病毒(AcNPV)转移载体表达系统以来,已被广泛用于外源基因的表达,成为世界上一新的具有巨大潜力的载体表达系统。为了进一步提高表达产量,降低成本,日本科学家前田进建立了家蚕核型多角体病毒(BmNPV)载体表达系统,并获得了高效表达。柞蚕是我国特产,以蛹滞育越冬,保存时间长,个体大,可工厂化生产。因此,组建柞蚕NPV转移载体,进而建立该载体表达系统,是目前利用昆虫活体为宿主进行外源基因表达较理想的昆虫杆状病毒载体表达系统。     

杆状病毒P10基因及P10蛋白

苜蓿尺蠖核型多角体病毒(AcMNPV)是多粒包埋型 NPV 的典型株。许多关于杆状病毒的分子生物学研究是以 AcMNPV 为代表的,因为它在昆虫细胞培养方面具有很多特点并且可以体外培养,家蚕核型多角体病毒(BmNPV)是单粒包埋型 NPV 的代表,也具有同样的优点,更具有大规模人工培养的优势。AcMNPV 和 BmNPV 具有一个环状双链的 DNA 基因组,长约为128kb,可以编码一百种蛋白质。AcM-NPV 在感染细胞中大约有40种以上的特种蛋白已被报道。     

杆状病毒部分功能基因的研究进展

杆状病毒以核型多角体病毒NPV的研究最为深入,到目前已有三种NPV的基因组全部测序：苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒（AcMNPV）［1］、黄杉古毒蛾核型多角体病毒（OpMNPV）［2］、家蚕核型多角体病毒（BmNPV）（GenBank accession no.L33180）。 　　杆状病毒基因组除编码病毒复制必需的基因及结构基因外,还编码一些有利于病毒充分增殖但对病毒复制并非一定必需的基因,这些基因在病毒的增殖过程中执行特定的功能,这类功能基因体现了杆状病毒的复制策略、病毒与细胞的相互作用关系,与杆状病毒宿主特异性的决定有关。本文综述了杆状病毒部分功能基因的研究进展。     

转座子介导的多角体基因表达及提高病毒粒子的感染效率

现行的杆状病毒表达外源基因的方法是将外源基因取代病毒中的多角体基因,因而得到的重组杆状病毒感染活体时不能经口感染,只能进行针刺注射,效率低且易引起活体感染其他疾病。将家蚕核型多角体病毒(Bombyx mor inucleopolyhedrovirus,BmNPV)中的多角体基因(polyhedrin,poly)及其启动子片段克隆到转座子载体pigA3GFP中,将其与辅助质粒pHA3PIG利用脂质体介导法导入家蚕细胞中,经过多次筛选获得稳定的转基因家蚕细胞。之后先将BmPAK6(含LacZ)及BmGFP(含GFP)重组病毒分别感染转基因细胞,再将得到的重组病毒经口感染5龄家蚕幼虫。结果显示,重组杆状病毒可以经口感染家蚕幼虫。这些研究表明来自于转基因家蚕细胞的poly基因表达产物可以提高重组杆状病毒经口感染家蚕率,为解决杆状病毒表达系统中重组病毒不能经口感染家蚕幼虫的问题提供新思路。     

拯救细胞系恢复重组家蚕核型多角体病毒包涵体实现外源蛋白在家蚕中产业化生产

构建家蚕Bombyx mori肌动蛋白（BmA3）启动子驱动的家蚕核型多角体病毒（BmNPV）多角体基因（ph）和OpNPV极早期启动子（IE1）驱动的zeocin抗性筛选基因转座供体载体,与鳞翅目辅助转座质粒pie2piggyBac共转染家蚕卵巢细胞BmN,经200μg/ml zeocin抗生素筛选一个月,成功获得持续表达BmNPV多角体蛋白的稳定细胞系BmN-A3ph。多角体缺陷型重组病毒BmBac-GF P感染拯救细胞系BmN- A3ph, 细胞成功装配出病毒包涵体颗粒,其包装效率约为野生型病毒感染正常BmN细胞的8%。用拯救型包涵体病毒颗粒喂食家蚕幼虫进行复感染,结果表明稳定细胞系所包装的包涵体病毒与野生型病毒一样能够通过口服途径感染宿主,却并不在宿主体内形成包涵体,从而保证外源基因高效表达。拯救型包涵体病毒可望解决传统注射感染效率较低问题,通过喂食感染可促进杆状病毒介导的家蚕生物反应器产业化进程。     

家蚕核型多角体病毒同源重复区hr5的结构和功能

家蚕核型多角体病毒(BmNPV)和首蓿尺蠖核型多角体病毒(AcMNPV)是宿主不同的同类昆虫杆状病毒.AcMNPV有5个同源重复区,hr5具较强增强子功能,最近被发现可能参与病毒DNA复制.Maeda等曾将BmNPV hrs图谱定位,最近又报道了BmNPV hr s的结构,但功能研究至今未见报道.与Maeda等同时,从野生型BmNPV基因组中克隆了hr 5区,进行了全序列测定,与Maeda等的报道有一定差别.功能分析证实,含BmNPV hr 5的质粒在辅助病毒存在下,不仅在宿主细胞(BmN)中能进行复制,而且在非宿主细胞 Sf 21中亦能进行复制.此外,不仅完整的BmNPV hr 5(含 8个重复单位),而且部分序列(含6个重复单位)亦显示上述功能.以上研究结果,并对hr 5在病毒 DNA复制过程中可能有的功能进行了探讨.     

家蚕胚胎细胞系Bm-Em-1的建立和特性研究

昆虫细胞系在病毒生物学、 基因功能的研究以及杆状病毒表达系统生产重组蛋白的应用中发挥着重要的作用。本研究由家蚕Bombyx mori “大造”品种反转期胚胎建立了一株细胞系Bm-Em-1, 在含10％胎牛血清的TNM-FH培养基中已传代40余代。显微观察表明, 细胞形态主要为圆形和短梭形, 细胞染色体呈短棒状和颗粒状, 数量多、 异倍化, 符合典型的鳞翅目昆虫细胞染色体特征。RAPD鉴定结果表明, 该细胞系来源于家蚕胚胎, 其扩增谱带与BTI-Tn5B1-4和Sf-9等细胞系明显不同。生长曲线测定结果表明, 第28代细胞的群体倍增时间为82.2 h。病毒敏感性测定显示, 该细胞系不能被苜蓿银纹夜蛾Autographa californica核型多角体病毒（AcMNPV）感染, 但对家蚕核型多角体病毒（BmNPV）高度敏感, 96 h的感染率为91.3％。结果说明该细胞系可作为家蚕病毒离体复制、 BmNPV表达系统以及家蚕基因功能研究的理想材料。     

BmNPV chitinase gene deletion enhances foreign gene expression in a BmN cell system

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) is extensively being studied as an expression vector for heterologous gene expression in silkworm-derived cells as well as in the host larvae or pupae. BmNPV chitinase is necessary for liquefaction of the virus-infected host insect. The influence of chitinase on the efficiency of foreign gene expression was studied to provide a scientific basis for improving the BmNPV expression system. The BmNPV chitinase gene ( chiA ) was deleted and the expression level of the polyhedrin promoter controlling the lac Z gene in BmN cells was determined. Sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) showed that β-galactosidase accounted for approximately 6.9 and 7.7% of the total protein in BmN cells infected with the chiA deficient Bm lac Z⁺ chiA ⁻ at 3 and 4 days post infection, while the total protein was 3.2 and 4.2% in cells infected with Bm lac Z⁺. The relative β-galactosidase activities in Bm lac Z⁺ chiA ⁻-infected cells improved 2.33- and 1.56-fold compared to those of Bm lac Z⁺-infected cells at 3 and 4 days post infection. The results of the present study suggest that chitinase deletion could improve the lacZ expression level in the BmNPV-BmN cell expression system.     

Investigation of reduced serum and serum-free media for the cultivation of insect cells (Bm5) and the production of baculovirus (BmNPV)

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the effectivenes of several reduced serum and serum-free media for the cultivation of an ovarian cell line, Bm5, of the lepidopteran insect Bombyx mori. Bm5 cell were successfully adapted to grow in a medium containing 5% serum and a serum-free medium (EX-CELL 400). On the other hand, this cell line could not be adapted to grow in several other media suggested in the literature, including IPL-41 + 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS), SF-900, and a serum-free medium (ISFM). Furthermore, a comparative study was conducted to determine the production levels of B. mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) in Bm5 cells cultured in three different medium formulations. The production levels of BmNPV in adapted Bm5 cells grown in a 5% serum-supplemented medium and a serum-free medium (EX-CELL 400) were comparable to those obtained in Bm5 cells grown 10% serum-supplemented medium.

Inactivation or removal of the budded particles of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus of a silkworm, Bombyx mori L. (Lep., Bombycidae)

Effective methods to inactivate or remove budded particles of a nuclear polyhedrosis virus of Bombyx mori (BmNPV) from a cell-cultured media or from host haemolymph that is infected by this virus have been developed. Two types of suspensions containing BmNPV budded virus particles, TC-100 media that cultured BmN4 cells infected by this virus and haemolymph of B. mori larvae infected by this virus, were treated by 6% (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG), 0.01% (w/v) chitosan, 0.05% (v/v) linoleic acid (an emulsion), and/or diethylether. Treatment by linoleic acid followed by PEG-precipitation and treatment by diethylether followed by PEG-precipitation were so effective that these treatments suppressed the viral titre of BmNPV-infected larval haemolymph from an original titre (> 10⁹ TCID₅₀ units/ml) to below a detectable limit. These methods are suggested as being potentially useful in an insect factory system; that is, a protein production system utilizing a baculovirus vector and its insect host or cultured cells on a large scale.     

与宿主昆虫液化相关的杆状病毒基因及其蛋白

昆虫被杆状病毒感染后会发生液化现象,这有利于病毒向周围环境扩散。目前在杆状病毒苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒NPV和GV中,发现与昆虫宿主液化相关的基因有组织蛋白酶基因V-cath基因和几丁质酶基因。V-cath基因表达产物在苜蓿银纹夜蛾多角体病毒(AcMNPV)中能特异性降解昆虫细胞内的肌动蛋白。几丁质酶不仅参与了虫体体表面几丁质的降解,同时还参与V-CATH蛋白前体的加工过程,起分子伴侣的作用。对家蚕核型多角体病毒(BmNPV)的研究表明其FP25K基因表达产物通过影响组织蛋白酶的释放与分泌而参与虫体液化。简要综述了此3种基因及其表达产物的结构、功能与特性,并讨论了它们在生产上的应用前景。     

High-frequency homologous recombination between baculoviruses involves DNA replication

We determined the frequency of DNA recombination between Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedroviruses (BmNPVs) and between BmNPV and the closely related Autographa californica NPV (AcMNPV) in BmN cells, Sf-21 cells, and larvae of Heliothis virescens. The BmN cells were coinfected with two BmNPVs, one with a mutation at the polyhedrin gene (polh) locus and a second carrying a lacZ gene marker cassette. Eleven different BmNPV mutants carrying the lacZ gene marker at various distances (1.4 to 61.7 kb) from polh were used for the coinfections. The Sf-21 cells and larvae of H. virescens were coinfected with wild-type AcMNPV and 1 of the 11 lacZ-marked BmNPV mutants. In BmN cells, high-frequency recombination was detected as early as 15 h postcoinfection but not at 12 h postcoinfection. At 18 h postcoinfection, the mean frequency of recombination ranged between 20.0 and 35.4% when the polh and lacZ marker genes were separated by at least 9.7 kb. When these marker genes were separated by only 1.4 kb, the mean frequency of recombination was 2.7%. In BmN cells, the mean recombination frequency between two BmNPVs increased only marginally when the multiplicity of infection of each virus was increased 10-fold. In Sf-21 cells and the larvae of H. virescens, the recombination frequency between BmNPV and AcMNPV was 相似文献
