Effects of immunogenic HER2 on the differentiation of T-cell in mouse

  • 摘要: 为了考察蛋白质中定点引入对硝基苯丙氨酸后对T细胞分化的影响,以人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)胞外区为模型分子,利用实验室前期构建的工程菌表达了定点引入对硝基苯丙氨酸的HER2突变体。用含对硝基苯丙氨酸的HER2突变体免疫小鼠,分析其对小鼠T细胞亚群分化的影响。研究结果显示,对硝基苯丙氨酸的引入显著增强了HER2的免疫原性,免疫5周后,突变体免疫组的小鼠体内抗HER2抗体滴度明显高于PBS组和原型免疫组的小鼠;流式细胞术检测结果显示,小鼠淋巴结内Tfh细胞比例从4%上升至8%,而Treg细胞比例从5%下降至1%;QT-PCR分析结果显示,Tfh细胞关键转录因子Bcl-6的mRNA水平提高了2倍,而Treg细胞关键转录因子FOXP3的mRNA水平明显降低;ELISA法检测血清中Tfh细胞效应因子IL-21的含量从4 pg/mL上升至28 pg/mL。上述研究结果证实,含有对硝基苯丙氨酸的HER2突变体可以通过激活Tfh细胞分化而引起高效免疫应答。
    Abstract: In order to investigate the effects of p-nitrophenylalanine on the differentiation of T lymphocyte, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)mutants were constructed by incorporating p-nitrophenylalanine to the extracellular domain of HER2. Mice were immunized with HER2 mutant to analyze the effects of p-nitrophenylalanine on the differentiation of T cell subsets. The results showed that the immunogenicity of HER2 protein was significantly enhanced by incorporation of immunogenic amino acids. HER2 mutants induced production of more anti-WT-HER2 antibody and greater titer of antibody than PBS and wild-type HER2 in the fifth week. The differentiation frequency of Th1 and Th2 cells showed no significant difference, but the differentiation frequency of Tfh cell was found to increase from 4% to 8%, while the differentiation frequency of Treg cell was found to decrease from 5% to 1% through flowcytometry analysis. The gene expression of Bcl-6 and FOXP3 were determined by quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that the expression of Bcl-6 mRNA increased about 2 fold, while the expression of FOXP3 mRNA could be decreased to about 50% in HER2 mutant-immunized group. The secretion level of IL-21 in serum was also detected to increase from 4 to 28 pg/mL in HER2 mutant-immunized group. The above results confirm that HER2 mutants containing p-nitrophenylalanine can cause an efficient immune response by activating Tfh cell differentiation.
