Susceptibility to AcMNPV and expression of recombinant proteins by a novel cell clone derived from a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trichoplusia ni</Emphasis> QAU-BTI-Tn9-4s cell line

It is well known that Tn5B1-4 (commercially known as the High Five) cell line is highly susceptible to baculovirus and provides superior production of recombinant proteins when compared to other insect cell lines. But the characteristics of the cell line do not always remain stable and may change upon continuous passage. Recently an alphanodavirus, named Tn5 Cell Line Virus (or TNCL Virus), was identified in High Five cells in particular. Therefore, we established a new cell line, QB-Tn9-4s, from Trichoplusia ni, which was determined to be free of TNCL virus by RT-PCR analysis. In this paper, we describe the development of a novel cell clone, QB-CL-B, from a low passage QB-Tn9-4s cell line and report its susceptibility to AcMNPV, and the level of recombinant protein production. This cell clone was similar to its parental cells QB-Tn9-4s and Tn5B1-4 cells in morphology and growth rate; although it also showed approximately the same responses to AcMNPV infection and production of occlusion bodies, there were higher levels of recombinant protein production in comparison to QB-Tn9-4s (parental cells) and High5 cells.     

肌动蛋白在AcMNPV向细胞外运输过程中作用的初步研究

本实验利用AcMNPV(Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus,AcMNPV)的bac-to-bac系统构建了两种重组病毒,即含GFP-actin融合基因的重组病毒AcMNPV-GFP-actin和含GFP基因的重组病毒AcMNPV-GFP。用这两种重组病毒分别感染Sf9细胞,以AcMNPV-GFP感染的Sf9细胞为对照,用共聚焦激光扫描显微镜观察了绿色荧光在病毒感染过程中的分布情况。由于肌动蛋白和绿色荧光蛋白是共定位的,所以绿色荧光的分布情况就是肌动蛋白的分布情况。实验中观察发现,AcMNPV-GFP感染的Sf9细胞中的绿色荧光,在整个感染过程中是弥散分布的,而AcMNPV-GFP-actin感染Sf9细胞后24172h这段时间内,肌动蛋白最初聚集在细胞核内,随后逐渐由细胞核向细胞质转移,最后完全聚集于细胞膜。根据实验结果,推测肌动蛋白可能参与了AcMNPV出芽型病毒粒子(BV)由细胞核向细胞质运输以及从细胞膜排出的过程。

Establishment, Growth kinetics, and Susceptibility to AcMNPV of Heat Tolerant Lepidop teran Cell Lines

Lepidopteran heat-tolerant(ht)cell lines have been obtained with sf-9,sf-21 and several Bombyx cells.They have a distinct karyotype,membrane lipid composition,morphology and growth kinetics from the parental cell lines.In this paper,we report the development of ht cell lines from other insect species and examination of their growth characteristics and virus susceptibility.Adaptation of cell lines sf-9,BTI-TN-5131-4(High5)and BTI-TN-MG1(MG 1)to 33℃ and 35℃ was carried out by shifting the culture temperature between 28℃ and higher temperatures by a gradual stepwise increase in temperature.The process of adaption to a higher culture temperature was accomplished over a period of 2 months.The cell lines with the temperature adaption were designated as sf9-ht33,sf9-ht35,High5-ht33,High5-ht35,MG1-ht33,MG1-ht35.These cell lines have been subcultured over 70 passages.Adaption to high temperatures was confirmed by a constant population doubling time with individual cell lines.The population doubling time of heat adapted cell lines were 1-4 h less than these of parental cell lines.Cell shapes did not show obvious change,however,the cell size of sf9-ht cells was enlarged and those of High5 and MG1 ht cells were reduced after heat adaption.When the cell lines were infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus(AcMNPV)at 28℃,33℃,35℃ and 37℃,production of budded virus and occlusion bodies in each cell line was optimum at its own adapted temperature.

Expression of Functional Recombinant Hemagglutinin and Neuraminidase Proteins from the Novel H7N9 Influenza Virus Using the Baculovirus Expression System

The baculovirus expression system is a powerful tool for expression of recombinant proteins. Here we use it to produce correctly folded and glycosylated versions of the influenza A virus surface glycoproteins - the hemagglutinin (HA) and the neuraminidase (NA). As an example, we chose the HA and NA proteins expressed by the novel H7N9 virus that recently emerged in China. However the protocol can be easily adapted for HA and NA proteins expressed by any other influenza A and B virus strains. Recombinant HA (rHA) and NA (rNA) proteins are important reagents for immunological assays such as ELISPOT and ELISA, and are also in wide use for vaccine standardization, antibody discovery, isolation and characterization. Furthermore, recombinant NA molecules can be used to screen for small molecule inhibitors and are useful for characterization of the enzymatic function of the NA, as well as its sensitivity to antivirals. Recombinant HA proteins are also being tested as experimental vaccines in animal models, and a vaccine based on recombinant HA was recently licensed by the FDA for use in humans. The method we describe here to produce these molecules is straight forward and can facilitate research in influenza laboratories, since it allows for production of large amounts of proteins fast and at a low cost. Although here we focus on influenza virus surface glycoproteins, this method can also be used to produce other viral and cellular surface proteins.

A Pair of Ligation-Independent Escherichia coli Expression Vectors for Rapid Addition of a Polyhistidine Affinity Tag to the N- or C-Termini of Recombinant Proteins

6×His tag is one of the most widely used affinity fusion tags that facilitates detection and purification of recombinant proteins. However, the location of this tag within a particular type of protein may influence the expression, solubility, and bioactivity of the protein, and the optimal location needs to be determined experimentally. To provide a tool for rapid generation of 6× His tags at the N- or C-terminus of any recombinant protein, we have constructed a pair of Escherichia coli expression vectors—pLIC-NHis and pLIC-CHis—based on the pET30a vector, for ligation-independent cloning (LIC). Construction of this new pair of LIC vectors was accomplished by replacement of the multiple cloning site of pET30a with two specifically designed LIC cloning sites. A target gene derived by PCR with a pair of predesigned primers can be inserted into the LIC site of pLIC-NHis for expression of recombinant proteins fused with the N-terminal sequence MHHHHHHG or into that of pLIC-CHis for expression of recombinant proteins with the C-terminal sequence THHHHHH. Successful expression of two normal mammalian prion proteins and five bacterial proteins in E. coli using this pair of LIC vectors reveals that these vectors are valuable tools for the production of recombinant His-tagged proteins in E. coli.

D-1 Dopaminergic and β-Adrenergic Stimulation of Adenylate Cyclase in a Clone Derived from the Human Astrocytoma Cell Line G-CCM

Clones have been isolated from the human astrocytoma cell line G-CCM. Homogenates of clone D384 contain an adenylate cyclase that is stimulated by 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (dopamine), noradrenaline, and isoprenaline with Ka apparent values of 4, 56, and 2.7 microM, respectively. The Ka apparent value for dopamine was increased by the D-1 antagonist cis-flupenthixol, 25 and 100 nM, to 23 and 190 microM, respectively, but was unaffected by propranolol (1 microM). Noradrenaline stimulation of adenylate cyclase was only partially inhibited by either propranolol (10 microM) or cis-flupenthixol (1 microM). Propranolol (10 microM), but not cis-flupenthixol (1 microM), prevented stimulation by isoprenaline. The stimulation of adenylate cyclase by dopamine and noradrenaline remained unchanged in the presence of phentolamine (1 microM) and sulpiride (1 microM). These results suggest that clone D384 contains both D-1 dopaminergic and beta-adrenergic receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase. Dopamine stimulates D384 adenylate cyclase through D-1 receptors, isoprenaline via beta-receptors, and noradrenaline through both receptors.     

Establishment by an Original Single‐cell Cloning Method and Characterization of an Immortal Mouse Melanoblast Cell Line (NCCmelb4)

We devised a unique new single‐cell cloning method which uses microscope cover glasses and established a melanoblast cell line derived from mouse neural crest cells. A microscope cover glass was nicked and broken into small pieces and put on a dish. Culture medium and a suspension of 20–30 cells/ml were dropped in the dish. After 1–3 d, a piece of glass to which only one cell was adhered was picked up and transferred to another dish containing culture medium. The greatest advantage of this method is that the derivation of a colony from a single cell can be directly confirmed by microscopy and there is no risk of migratory cells being contaminated by other colonies. Using this single‐cell cloning method, in this study we established a cell line derived from a neural crest cell line (NCC‐S4.1) and designated it as NCCmelb4. When the culture medium was supplemented with stem cell factor (SCF) alone, NCCmelb4 cells were KIT‐positive and tyrosinase‐negative melanocyte precursors; they remained at an immature and undifferentiated stage. When the medium was supplemented with phorbol 12‐o‐tetradecanoyl‐13‐acetate (TPA) + cholera toxin (CT), the cell morphology changed and became l ‐3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA)‐positive. This observation indicates that the NCCmelb4 cells are capable of further differentiation with suitable stimulation. NCCmelb4 cells derived from the mouse neural crest has characteristics of melanocyte precursors (melanoblasts), and is a cell line which can be utilized to study differentiation‐inducing factors and growth factors without the effects of feeder cells.
