Description

Preparation method of streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological products, in particular to a preparation method of streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide.
Background
Streptococcus pneumoniae (Streptococcus pneumoniae) is a gram-positive coccus with a capsule, which is the main causative agent of diseases such as human pneumonia, meningitis, otitis media and bacteremia. The diseases caused by streptococcus pneumoniae have higher morbidity and mortality, and the main susceptible population is infants under 5 years old. With the increasing development of Streptococcus pneumoniae resistance, protection against infection by vaccination is increasingly important. The capsular polysaccharide is a key virulence factor of streptococcus pneumoniae, and after the streptococcus pneumoniae is fermented and cultured, the polysaccharide or polysaccharide combined vaccine prepared by extraction, separation, purification and combination can effectively induce human immune response, thereby preventing infection and morbidity of the streptococcus pneumoniae.
Currently, a 23-valent streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide vaccine, a 13-valent streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide conjugate vaccine and a 20-valent streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide conjugate vaccine are commonly used clinically.
The main component of the 23-valent streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide vaccine is a plurality of capsular polysaccharide antigens of streptococcus pneumoniae, and the polysaccharide is a T cell independent antigen, so that mature B lymphocytes can be stimulated, but T lymphocytes cannot be stimulated, and the infant immune function under 2 years old is imperfect, and the polysaccharide vaccine can only be used for immunization of people over 2 years old because of poor reaction to the T cell independent antigen.
The combined vaccine of the streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide with the valence of 13 and the valence of 20 is also a vaccine taking capsular polysaccharide as a protective antigen, the combined vaccine utilizes a combination technology to combine bacterial capsular polysaccharide with specific carrier protein, the bacterial capsular polysaccharide becomes T cell dependent antigen after combination, immune memory can be formed after inoculation, the immune duration is long, and the combined vaccine is suitable for people of any age group, particularly has good protective effect on infants under 2 years old, and can be applied to the preventive immunity of children or old people.
Currently, in the production of Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides, sodium Deoxycholate (DOC) solution is added to the fermentation broth to lyse the cells and thereby release the capsular polysaccharides in the cells (CN 107835821A, and Ren Keming, bai Guijie, zhang Lizhi, etc.. The establishment of a novel method for purifying Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides [ J ]. J. Chinese biologies, 2020,33 (10): 1181-1185.DOI:10.13200/J. Cnki. Cjb.003178). Sodium deoxycholate is a bile salt, and can quickly activate autolytic enzyme and accelerate self-dissolution of bacteria such as streptococcus pneumoniae and the like. The final stage of fermentation of streptococcus pneumoniae is added with a sodium deoxycholate solution with the final concentration of 0.1%, and bacterial thalli can be lysed, so that capsular polysaccharide on the cell wall surface of the streptococcus pneumoniae is released. However, in this process, not only the capsular polysaccharide attached to the cell wall is released in large amounts, but also the intracellular product of the cell is released into the polysaccharide solution, which makes the subsequent purification very difficult and increases the content of residual impurities (proteins, nucleic acids, etc.). Furthermore, sodium deoxycholate is an animal-derived substance, and may contain exogenous factors (such as bovine-derived viruses) or other sensitizers, which in turn tend to cause stronger side effects or exceed sensitization. In addition, a certain amount of sodium deoxycholate has a damaging effect on gastric mucosal cells, nasal mucosal cells and pancreatic acinar cells. Therefore, if sodium deoxycholate remains in the vaccine preparation, there is also a risk of causing damage to human cells after it is injected into the human body. The current solution is to ensure the safety of vaccine use by establishing a quality control method (such as CN 102830185B) and a standard. There is still a need to develop better solutions capable of reducing, even avoiding, the use of sodium deoxycholate.
In addition, with the increase of the price of the streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine, the residual protein and nucleic acid impurities of the refined polysaccharide in the preparation are accumulated, and a new challenge is brought to the safety and quality control of the streptococcus pneumoniae vaccine. Therefore, to further reduce the total amount of residual proteins and residual nucleic acids in streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide vaccines and streptococcus pneumoniae polysaccharide conjugate vaccines, it is desirable to reduce the residual protein and nucleic acid content in individual types of purified polysaccharides.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a preparation method of streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide.
In the existing production method of streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide, sodium deoxycholate is used as a cracking agent for cracking thalli to release capsular polysaccharide, which plays a very important role in extracting capsular polysaccharide, and no substitute reagent can be used for preparing streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide at present. The invention surprisingly discovers that beta-propiolactone (BPL) has obvious effect of promoting streptococcus pneumoniae to release capsular polysaccharide, can be used for treating streptococcus pneumoniae to extract capsular polysaccharide, and is different from deoxycholate sodium, the beta-propiolactone can not crack thalli, thereby obviously reducing release of impurities such as protein, nucleic acid and the like in thalli, being beneficial to reducing impurity content and removal difficulty in the purification process of capsular polysaccharide, and the beta-propiolactone is easy to hydrolyze, and hydrolysate is nontoxic and harmless, so that residue or health risk in capsular polysaccharide products can not be caused. Beta-propiolactone is currently used as a virus inactivating agent for preparing virus vaccines, and has not been reported so far regarding the function of promoting streptococcus pneumoniae to release capsular polysaccharide and reducing release of intracellular proteins, nucleic acids and other impurities.
Specifically, the invention provides the following technical scheme:
The invention provides a preparation method of streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide, which comprises the following steps: treating fermentation culture of Streptococcus pneumoniae with beta-propiolactone, separating and collecting supernatant, purifying the supernatant, and collecting capsular polysaccharide.
In the method, beta-propiolactone is used for replacing sodium deoxycholate to kill streptococcus pneumoniae and release polysaccharide, so that the problems of health risk or side effect caused by sodium deoxycholate residues are solved, the content of protein and other impurities in extracted capsular polysaccharide is obviously reduced, the content of protein and other impurities in purified polysaccharide is obviously reduced (especially for types with high protein content in streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharide such as 5, 10A, 14, 7F, 15B, etc., the protein residue in capsular polysaccharide prepared by beta-propiolactone treatment thallus is obviously reduced, the impurity removing effect is excellent), the quality is obviously better than that of purified polysaccharide obtained by purifying after splitting thallus by sodium deoxycholate, the recovery rate of polysaccharide is higher, and the recovery rate is obviously higher than that of streptococcus pneumoniae fermentation culture treated by formaldehyde.
In the above method, the fermentation culture is a culture (e.g., fermentation broth) comprising Streptococcus pneumoniae obtained by fermentation culture of Streptococcus pneumoniae.
For the final concentration of beta-propiolactone in the treatment system, it may be added in the amounts usual in the art.
Preferably, the final concentration of the beta-propiolactone in the treatment system is not less than 0.01%.
Exemplary final beta-propiolactone concentrations may be 0.01%, 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1%, etc.

In the present invention, the separation of the supernatant may be performed by any solid-liquid separation method, for example, the supernatant may be separated by centrifugation.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the preparation of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae is divided into a stage of extracting the capsular polysaccharide from the bacterial cells (i.e. separating the capsular polysaccharide from the bacterial cells, first stage) and a purification stage of the capsular polysaccharide. The beta-propiolactone acts as a reagent for promoting the thalli to release the capsular polysaccharide in the first stage, and experiments prove that the beta-propiolactone is used for treating the streptococcus pneumoniae fermentation culture, so that the capsular polysaccharide can be effectively released, and the content of protein and nucleic acid in the capsular polysaccharide extracting solution (supernatant collected after treatment) is obviously reduced compared with that of sodium deoxycholate. Therefore, the present invention is not particularly limited in nature with respect to the subsequent purification method of capsular polysaccharide, as long as impurities such as proteins, nucleic acids, etc. can be effectively removed, so that purification methods (for example, methods for purifying Streptococcus pneumoniae capsular polysaccharides known in the art) in which the purity of the resulting capsular polysaccharide is satisfactory can be used.
