Generation of rat eosinophils by recombinant rat interleukin-5 in vitro and in vivo

The addition of recombinant rat interleukin-5 (IL-5), which was purified from the hemolymph of silkworm Bombyx mori larvae infected with IL-5-expressing recombinant virus, to cultures of rat bone marrow cells resulted in an increase in the number of Luxol-fast-blue staining eosinophils in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. After 6 days culture with 100 pM recombinant rat IL-5, more than 90% of the bone marrow cells were eosinophil. The contents of major basic protein (MBP) in the bone marrow cells determined by Western blot analysis using a polyclonal antibody to rat MBP were also increased by recombinant rat IL-5 (100 pM). Furthermore, intravenous injections of recombinant rat IL-5 twice a day for six consecutive days increased the population of eosinophils in peripheral blood cells and in bone marrow cells. These findings indicate that rat IL-5 induces terminal differentiation and proliferation of progenitor cells to mature eosinophils in rats.     

Preparation of recombinant rat interleukin-5 by baculovirus expression system and analysis of its biological activities.

Rat interleukin-5 (IL-5) cDNA was subcloned from peritoneal cells collected 4 h after intraperitoneal injection of Ascaris suum antigen solution into the immunized rats. Cysteine proteinase-deleted (CPd) rat IL-5 recombinant virus was constructed by inserting rat IL-5 cDNA into CPd virus having a deletion in the cysteine proteinase gene of the silkworm Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus. On infection with the CPd rat IL-5 recombinant virus, the silkworm B. mori larvae produced rat IL-5 as a dimeric form in hemolymph. Recombinant rat IL-5 was purified more than 95.5% by anion-exchange chromatography and hydrophobic chromatography. The purified recombinant rat IL-5 promoted the proliferation of T88-M cells in a concentration-dependent manner, and its effect was inhibited by an anti-murine IL-5 neutralizing polyclonal antibody. When bone marrow cells from normal rats were incubated with recombinant rat IL-5 in medium containing methylcellulose, the colony formation by eosinophilic cells was induced. Furthermore, when rat peritoneal eosinophils were incubated with recombinant rat IL-5, the spontaneous decrease in the eosinophil viability was inhibited in time- and concentration-dependent manners. In addition, the recombinant rat IL-5-induced eosinophil survival was inhibited by an anti-murine IL-5 neutralizing polyclonal antibody. These findings suggest that rat IL-5 acts as B-cell growth factor II (BCGF-II), eosinophil differentiation factor (EDF), and eosinophil survival-enhancing factor.

人促红细胞生成素基因在家蚕体中的高效表达

人促红细胞生成素(EPO)是一种调控红系干细胞增殖、分化和成熟的糖蛋白激素。将合成的EPO cDNA插入杆状病毒转移载体pBlueBacⅢ,使其置于Ph基因强启动子控制之下,获得了转移载体pBlueBacEPO。将pBlueBacEPO DNA与野生型BmNPV DNA共转染BmN细胞,经空斑纯化,获插入EPO cDNA的重组病毒rBmNPVEPO。经Sonthern杂交和PCR扩增鉴定证明人EPO基因已正确组建于BmNPV的预定位置。将重组病毒rBmNPVEPO穿刺接种5龄幼虫和蛹,收集感染第3～5d的幼虫血淋巴和3～6.5d蛹血淋巴。用ELISA检测幼虫血淋巴中EPO表达量高达62800u/mL,蛹血淋巴中表达量达74000u/mL。Western blot结果显示幼虫血淋巴和蛹血淋巴均有一条明显的免疫杂交带,分子量均约为26kD。用TF1细胞对幼虫表达产物进行了生物活性测定,每毫升血淋巴中EPO活性约为63000u。     

利用BmNPV-家蚕表达系统包装重组腺相关病毒2型（rAAV2）研究

腺相关病毒（adeno-associated virus,AAV）是基因治疗中最常用的病毒载体之一,目前用于基因治疗的AAV多利用苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒表达系统（AcMNPV-sf9）包装,但较高的包装成本限制了AAV在基因治疗中的广泛应用。家蚕杆状病毒表达系统与AcMNPV-sf9系统相比,具有包装量更高、成本更低的优势,因此更适用于包装重组腺相关病毒（recombinant adeno-associated virus,rAAV）。首先,将AAV2功能基因cap和rep进行序列优化后合成,克隆到杆状病毒转移载体pVL1393上,将增强型绿色荧光蛋白（enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP）基因和荧光素酶（luciferase,Luc）基因分别作为报告基因克隆到含有巨噬细胞病毒IE（cytomegalovirus-IE,CMV-IE）启动子的病毒转移载体pVL1393-ITRs-MCS上。随后,将构建好的转移载体分别与缺陷型家蚕杆状病毒reBmBac共转染BmN细胞系,获得分别重组有cap、rep和报告基因的家蚕杆状病毒（Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus,BmNPV）。再将纯化的重组病毒（reBm-Cap2、reBm-Rep2）与reBm-EGFP、reBm-Luc分别混合后感染家蚕,收获其表达产物,纯化得到含有目的基因的rAAV病毒。利用rAAV病毒感染哺乳动物细胞后,通过检测EGFP、Luc的表达状态来验证rAAV包装成功与否。结果显示,利用家蚕杆状病毒系统成功包装了rAAV2,并且在哺乳动物细胞中实现了报告基因的表达。

N-Linked glycosylation of a baculovirus-expressed recombinant glycoprotein in insect larvae and tissue culture cells

The potential of insect cell cultures and larvae infected with recombinant baculoviruses to produce authentic recombinant glycoproteins cloned from mammalian sources was investigated. A comparison was made of the N-linked glycans attached to secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) produced in four species of insect larvae and their derived cell lines plus one additional insect cell line and larvae of one additional species. These data survey N-linked oligosaccharides produced in four families and six genera of the order Lepidoptera. Recombinant SEAP expressed by recombinant isolates of Autographa californica and Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedroviruses was purified from cell culture medium, larval hemolymph or larval homogenates by phosphate affinity chromatography. The N-linked oligosaccharides were released with PNGase-F, labeled with 8- aminonaphthalene-1-3-6-trisulfonic acid, fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and analyzed by fluorescence imaging. The oligosaccharide structures were confirmed with exoglycosidase digestions. Recombinant SEAP produced in cell lines of Lymantria dispar (IPLB-LdEIta), Heliothis virescens (IPLB-HvT1), and Bombyx mori (BmN) and larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda, Trichoplusia ni , H.virescens , B.mori , and Danaus plexippus contained oligosaccharides that were structurally identical to the 10 oligosaccharides attached to SEAP produced in T.ni cell lines. The oligosaccharide structures were all mannose-terminated. Structures containing two or three mannose residues, with and without core fucosylation, constituted more than 75% of the oligosaccharides from the cell culture and larval samples.      

Silkworm hemolymph inhibits baculovirus-induced insect cell apoptosis

The effect of silkworm hemolymph on baculovirus-induced insect cell apoptosis was investigated. The addition of silkworm hemolymph into the culture medium either before or during the baculovirus infection increased the host cell longevity; however, its addition after the infection was less effective. This can be explained by the higher transfer rate of silkworm hemolymph which is caused by endocytosis during the virus internalization step. The delayed cell death due to silkworm hemolymph was not caused by an inhibition of the virus attachment and internalization steps. The apoptosis was analyzed using DNA fragmentation and TUNEL assays, and the resulting data confirm that silkworm hemolymph inhibits baculovirus-induced insect cell apoptosis.     

Isolation and characterization of an apoptosis-inhibiting component from the hemolymph of Bombyx mori.

Silkworm (Bombyx mori) hemolymph showed an apoptosis-inhibiting activity in insect cells (Sf 9) infected with baculovirus (AcNPV). The addition of silkworm hemolymph into the culture medium increased the host cell longevity due to its apoptosis-inhibition activity. Components with an apoptosis-inhibiting effect were purified from the silkworm hemolymph by heat treatment, gel-filtration chromatography, and ion-exchange chromatography. The component with highest activity was characterized by periodic acid-Schiff staining, isoelectric focusing, MALDI-TOF-mass spectrometry, and N-terminal sequencing and was found to be a nonglycosylated monomeric protein with a molecular weight of ca. 28,000 Da.     

Cooperation between humoral factor(s) and Lyt-2+ T cells in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs

The mechanism of cooperation between the L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T cell subsets in effective clearance of Sendai virus from infected mouse lungs was studied by adoptive cell transfer using nude mice. Simultaneous transfer of a long-term-cultured Sendai virus-specific L3T4+ T cell line with L3T4+ cell-depleted immune spleen cell (L3T4-) fraction to infected nude mice could result in viral clearance, although single injection with either of these cells was not effective. Instead of the L3T4+ T cells, culture supernatants of the L3T4- T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated mouse spleen cells and mouse serum immunized with the virus were also active in the cooperative viral clearance with L3T4- fraction. The role of the Sendai virus-sensitized L3T4- cell fraction in cooperative viral clearance with humoral factors could be replaced by neither T cell-deprived immune spleen cell fraction nor normal spleen cells. The 1,500 units of recombinant mouse interleukin 2 (IL-2), which was more than 12 times the IL-2 activity present in the supernatants of the T cell line or concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells, failed to clear the virus in combination with the L3T4- fraction. Monoclonal antibodies to Sendai or mouse hepatitis viruses were also effective in the cooperative antiviral activity. IL-2 activity was not detected in these monoclonal antibodies and the mouse immune serum. Single injection of any humoral factors failed to clear the virus. These results indicate that Sendai virus-sensitized Lyt-2+ subset of T cells acts cooperatively with humoral factor(s) other than IL-2 or Sendai virus-specific antibody present in supernatants of the T cell line, of concanavalin A-stimulated spleen cells or hybridomas, and in mouse serum immunized with the virus.

Efficient production of recombinant protein in Spodoptera frugiperda/AcNPV system utilizing silkworm hemolymph

Silkworm hemolymph when added at 5% (v/v) to medium increased the production of recombinant -galactosidase in Spodoptera frugipera/ Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) system by 4.5-fold. Silkworm hemolymph also increased the host cell longevity by two-fold. Viability of the host cell was maintained at a constant level for 6 days after baculovirus infection in the medium containing 5% silkworm hemolymph, while host cells began to die 3 days after infection in the medium without hemolymph.

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。     

Enhanced production of recombinant protein inEscherichia coli using silkworm hemolymph

The effect of silkworm hemolymph on the expression of recombinant protein inEscherichia coli was investigated. The addition of silkworm hemolymph to the culture medium increased the production of recombinant β-galactosidase inE. coli. The production was dependent on the concentration of the added silkworm hemolymph, which increased 2-, 5-, and 8-fold in media supplemented with 1,3, and 5% silkworm hemolymph, respectively. To identify the effective component, the silkworm hemolymph was fractionated by gel filtration column chromatography. A fraction, with a molecular weight of about 30 K was identified as the effective component.     

Effects of overexpression and inhibited expression of thymosin,an actin‐interacting protein from Bombyx mori,on BmNPV proliferation and replication

Previous study showed that exogenously applied recombinant thymosin from Bombyx mori (BmTHY) reduces B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) proliferation in silkworm. Which stands to reason that BmTHY in B. mori is crucial for the defense against BmNPV. However, little is known about the effect of endogenously overexpressed or repressed BmTHY on B. mori resistance to virus infection. To study this issue, we constructed an overexpression and inhibited expression systems of BmTHY in BmN cells. The viral titer and the analysis from the quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that overexpression of BmTHY decreased the copies of BmNPV gene gp41, which goes over to inhibit the proliferation of BmNPV in BmN cells, while the inhibited expression of BmTHY significantly enhanced viral proliferation in infected BmN cells. These results indicated that endogenous BmTHY can inhibit BmNPV proliferation and replication in infected BmN cells. Furthermore, Co‐IP showed that BmTHY could bind to actin in BmN cells. Also, the overexpression or inhibited expression of BmTHY shifted the ratio of F/G‐actin in infected BmN cells. Lastly, the BmTHY, an actin‐interacting protein, might be one of the key host factors against BmNPV, which inhibits viral proliferation and replication in BmN cells.     

High level expression of a frog α-amidating enzyme,AE-II,in cultured cells and silkworm larvae using aBombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus expression vector

AXenopus laevis peptidyl C-terminal α-amidating enzyme (AE-II) gene, modified by deletion of a region encoding the putative membrane-spanning domain and the putative C-terminal cytosolic tail, was expressed in BoMo-15 AIIc insect cells and silkworm larvae using aBombyx mori baculovirus expression vector system. The expressed enzyme was identified predominantly in the culture medium and the hemolymph of silkworm larvae, indicating successful secretion of the expressed AE-II. The level of recombinant enzyme in the larval hemolymph at 4 days post-infection (40 μg/ml) was more than 100-fold the peak levels found in the culture medium (250 ng/ml). The enzyme activity in the larval hemolymph at 4 days post-infection was 3700 units/ml.
