Description

Microtubule-associated protein Tau antigen and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, in particular to a microtubule-associated protein Tau antigen and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Tau protein and beta-amyloid (amyloid beta-protein, a β) are characteristic lesions of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and are two important factors determining the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative diseases. The Tau protein is produced by monogene coding for the microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) located on the 17q21.31 chromosome. Tau protein has multiple functions. Normally, the most important functions are to aggregate microtubules, including connecting, stabilizing and promoting microtubule assembly, and others include transporting nutrients in axons and dendrites and regulating the growth and development of nerve cells. A large number of microtubules are located on nerve axons, and a small number are located on dendrites and neurons.
Aberrant post-translational modifications render the Tau protein a non-functional entity, of which phosphorylation of the Tau protein is the most studied. It is now recognized that Tau pathology resulting from Tau protein increase and modification is a source of neurotoxicity. Generally, tau lesions have 3 main features: increased Tau protein levels; to an aberrant post-translational modification, such as hyperphosphorylation, sometimes associated with other post-translational modifications (e.g., truncation or acetylation); abnormal Tau protein aggregation. Once Tau protein is deposited, it is accompanied by the occurrence of neurological dysfunction. The level of Tau protein is closely related to mild cognitive dysfunction.
Characteristic cerebrospinal fluid biomarker changes in AD patients are a decrease in Α β 42, with an increase in total Tau protein (T-Tau) and phosphorylated Tau protein (p-Tau), which markers have been identified as diagnostic for dementia, mild cognitive impairment.
In humans, the MAPT gene, which encodes the Tau protein, produces six isoforms (352-441 amino acids) by alternative mRNA splicing. Based on the splicing of exons 2, 3 and 10 of human tau protein, 6 different isoforms are divided, tau352 (0N 3R), tau381 (1N 3R), tau383 (0N 4R), tau410 (2N 3R), tau412 (1N 4R) and tau441 (2N 4R), wherein exons 2 and 3 encode two 29 amino acid N-terminal insertions (0n, 1n, 2n) exon 10 leading to the generation of three isoforms with 3 or 4C-terminal repeats (3R or 4R), forming 6 different spliced isoforms by different splicing patterns. Taking the longest subtype protein of Tau (2N 4R) as an example to show the structural region, the protein mainly comprises an N-terminal projection functional region (aa 1-151), a 2N insertion sequence located in the segment, an intermediate proline enrichment region (aa 152-244), a Microtubule binding region (Microtubule-binding domain, MBD, aa 245-368), and four C-terminal repetitive sequences 4R and a C-terminal functional region (C terminal, aa 369-441).
According to the research reports of Meredith, barthe' lemy, sato, cicognola and Chen in 2013-1019, tau protein in human cerebrospinal fluid or plasma is cleaved by protease, and a large amount of Tau cleavage fragments exist in the N terminal (aa 1-151) and middle region (aa 152-244), while the content of C terminal fragments is extremely low. Therefore, how to design and synthesize the immunogen so as to include the epitope of the cutting body form antibody which can simultaneously recognize different Tau protein subtypes in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid becomes a key link for detecting the total Tau protein (t-Tau) in human tissues or body fluids. Cerebrospinal fluid T-tau level measurements have diagnostic and AD predictive value for differentiating between AD and normal controls (T-tau: 95% CI from 2.44 to 2.64, P < 0.0001) as well as stable and progressive Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
At present, rapid specific detection methods aiming at Tau protein are required to be suggested in both diagnosis and scientific research processes. Conventional methods for detecting Tau protein are usually immunoassays, i.e., antibodies against Tau are used to detect the levels thereof, and therefore, prediction and discovery of suitable epitopes of Tau epitopes have been the focus of research. At present, no exact report aiming at the Tau protein epitope tandem antigen exists in the market, and with the development of the field of medical inspection, a soluble Tau protein epitope tandem antigen with high specificity and antigenicity is needed in diagnosis so as to be suitable for the preparation and production of high-specificity antibodies.
Therefore, a soluble Tau protein antigen is designed and obtained, and the generated antibody has good application prospect and practical significance for recognizing all six subtype proteins of Tau protein.

tau protein is Microtubule-associated protein, and its common forms in human body are six subtypes, which are Tau352 (0N 3R), tau381 (1N 3R), tau383 (0N 4R), tau410 (2N 3R), tau412 (1N 4R), and its longest subtype Tau (2N 4R) protein is exemplified to show that its structural region mainly includes N-terminal projection functional region (aa 1-151), 2N insertion sequence is located in this segment, intermediate proline region (aa 1-244), microtubule binding region (Microtubule-binding domain, MBD, aa 245-368), which includes four C-terminal repeat sequences 4R and C-terminal functional region (C-terminal, aa 369-441).
However, according to the reports of Meredith, barthe' lemy, sato, cicognola, chen in 2013-1019, it was found that in human cerebrospinal fluid or plasma, tau protein is cleaved by protease, and largely exists as an N-terminal (aa 1-151) and a Tau cleavage fragment in the middle region (aa 152-244), but the content of C-terminal fragment is extremely low.
Therefore, the present invention uses biological software to analyze amino acid sequences, preferentially selects a sequence with stronger antigen specificity of Tau (2N 4R), and selects a sequence common to six subtypes for epitope selection based on all subtype sequences of Tau protein, i.e., excludes the 2N insertion sequence described above and retains a 3R sequence common to 6 subtypes (a subtype with a 4R sequence has a more repetitive sequence than 3R). The epitope with the high score is selected and the epitope sequence of all Tau subtypes can be identified. The Tau antigen designed in this way can be immunized to obtain specific antibody aiming at Tau, and thus the antibody has the value of recognizing different forms of Tau subtype proteins or hydrolyzed fragments in a sample.
Therefore, on the basis of a Tau protein sequence (2N 4R), a sequence of coded amino acids of a Tau (Unit prot sequence number P10636-8) protein is analyzed through bioinformatics software, dominant epitopes obtained by screening are connected in series according to a certain sequence, and a multi-epitope fusion antigen is constructed and synthesized; meanwhile, after codon optimization, a nucleic acid sequence of the protein is synthesized, a high-efficiency prokaryotic expression vector is constructed, and high-purity recombinant protein is purified.
