摘要
牙龈卟啉菌(Porphyromonas gingivalis,P.gingivalis,简称Pg)是牙周炎的重要优势致病菌,牙龈蛋白酶是P.gingivalis的重要致病因子。牙龈蛋白酶K(gingipain K,简称KGP)基因全长由6.4Kbp组成,前22个氨基酸为信号肽,接下来23~229残基是N-端前序列,230~739个氨基酸为成熟肽蛋白酶结构域(KGPcd),740~1723的氨基酸为β亚单位即凝集素结构域。KGPcd为KGP的生物活性部分,β亚单位其保守的位点几乎存在于所有P.gingivalis,并具有粘附、凝集功能。由于近年来分子生物学和免疫学的发展,牙龈蛋白酶基因已被克隆和测序,对其蛋白质分子中的各个功能区、抗原表位及相应的编码基因片段已有了更深入的了解,为研制疫苗提供了可靠的依据。
     本课题为研究基因免疫在预防牙周炎中的作用,采用分子生物学技术,对P.gingivalis KGPcd进行了克隆、原核表达和纯化,并制备了抗KGPcd抗体;同时构建KGPcd真核表达质粒,并免疫SD大鼠,观察其在防治牙周炎中的作用,实验结果表明:KGPcd可作为基因候选疫苗,有减缓牙槽骨吸收的作用,这为今后进一步研究预防牙周炎的基因疫苗奠定了实验基础,为控制牙周炎的发生提供一种新型的预防方法。本研究分为以下二部分:

    一?
Recent evidence strongly suggests that the primary pathogen responsible for chronic progressive periodontal disease is Porphyromonas gingivalis. The gingipains, a group of cysteine proteases produced by P. gingivalis, have received considerable attention. The gingipains are the important virulence factors of P. gingivalis. The gingipain K (Kgp) is one of them. The initial translation product is large precursor, which is composed of four functional regions (the signal peptide, the NH2-terminal prosequence, the mature proteinase domain, and the COOH-terminal hemagglutinin domain). The nucleotide sequence of the kgp DNA covers 6.4kbp. The nucleotide sequence (6,366 nucleotides) includes the complete coding region and parts of the 5'-and 3'-noncoding regions. The open reading frame consisting of 5,169 nucleotides was found to encode 1,723 amino acid residues with a calculated mass of 218 kDa. The amino acid sequence suggests that the first 22 amino acid residues containing a hydrophovic amino acid cluster may re
    present a signal peptide. The hydropathy of the the NH2-terminus of the precursor is high enough for it to function as a signal sequence translocating the protein
    
    
    across the membrane. The next 206-residue sequence is considered to be an NH2-terminal propetid. The amino acid sequence of the mature enzyme was found to start with the 229th Asp residue and to end with the putative site of the 717th Arg residue. The remaining COOH-terminal portion is thought to be the COOH-terminal prosequence, which contains the hemagglutinin-related sequence starting with the 738th Ala residue, identical to the NH2-terminal sequence of P. gingivalis.
    In the present study, we assessed whether the KGPcd could be vaccine candidate for prevention of oral bone loss in a rat model. Used the molecular biological techniques, gingipain K catalytic domain (kgpcd) was cloned, expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Thus mass recombinant proteins were obtained. Then the anti-KGPcd antibody was prepared to proceed the following study. At the same time, the eukaryotic expression recombined plasmid of pcDN A3.1+/kgpcd was constructed. Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were vaccinated with eukaryotic expression plasmid by the route of submandibular gland-targeted injection. The specific immune responses and their protection against periodontitis were observed by ELASA and HE. So, the immunization effects were verified, paving the way for the further study.
    This paper consists of the following two parts:
    1 Cloning, expression of the gingipain K catalytic domain (kgpcd) gene from Porphyromonas gingivalis and purification of the recombined KGPcd protein and Preparation of anti-KGPcd antibody
    1.1 Cloning and sequencing of kgpcd gene from Porphyromonas gingivalis
    In the study, P. gingivalis was routinely cultured and its genomic DNA was isolated as templates by bacteria genomic DNA isolation kit.
    
    
    The desired DNA products encoding gingipain K. catalytic domain were obtained from the total genomic DNA by PCR with the the designed specific primers. The PCR products, ie, these objective gene segments (1467bp), were inserted into cloning vector of pGEM-T easy Vector and the inserting plasmids were transformed into E.coli XL-10 and had the blue-white screening. The positive clones, ie, the white clones, were analyzed by restriction endonuclease mapping and DNA sequencing. The results showed that the sequence of kgpcd were consistent with that of the P. gingivalis 381 in GeneBank.
    1.2 Expression of recombinant gingipain K catalytic domain gene in E.coli BL21 (DE3)
    The gene fragment encoding kgpcd was inserted into prokaryotic expression vector pET-16b in which foreign gene is controlled by T7 promoters. The recombinant plasmid pET-16b/kgpcd was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG in order to express the fusion protein His (Histidine)-KGPcd. The expressed fusion protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and then refolded by dilution and dialysis. After induction, a new anticipated 56kDa
