Description

Monoclonal antibody for detecting oncoprotein expression in pathological tissue section
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological medicines, particularly relates to a monoclonal antibody for detecting cancer protein of a cancer pathological section and application thereof, and more particularly relates to detection of HPV E7 protein expression in cancer caused by high-risk HPV.
Background
Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor of female reproductive systems, is the second place of female malignant tumors, has low survival rate of late cancer for 5 years, and has high morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 1976 zur Hansen suggested that Human Papillomavirus (HPV) may be a sexually transmitted carcinogen, and began to study the relationship between HPV and cervical cancer. Currently, many epidemiology have demonstrated that HPV is the culprit responsible for cervical cancer and can cause a variety of other tumors, including reproductive, breast, digestive and respiratory cancers. zur Hansen also therefore received a nobel prize for physiology or medicine in 2008. In recent years, the spread of HPV in people in China is continuously reduced, and the research work of prevention and treatment of cervical cancer is very important.
80% of women will be infected with HPV virus during their lifetime, and most HPV infections will be self-infected within 1-2 yearsThe body's immune system is cleared and persistent HPV infection will progress to high grade Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) lesions, such as CIN II and CIN III, and even further to cervical cancer. Statistically, about 20% of low-grade cervical lesions will turn into high-grade lesions, and 30% of them will further turn into malignant tumors if not treated in time. The pathological morphology of most middle and late cervical cancers is obvious and diagnosis is not difficult. However, diagnosis of early cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions has been the focus of research. In the process of normal cervical epithelium → CIN → cervical cancer, except for corresponding changes of histology and cytology, the structure, function and the like of some genes are changed, and the genes can be used as molecular markers in the process so as to discover and diagnose CIN and cervical cancer at early stage. Such as Ki67, p16INK4AAnd hTERT, etc. are expressed in increasing levels with increasing CIN (Valentina F, Renzo B, Serena B, et al, Detection of HPV E7Oncoviral protein in nuclear division by a municipal solid, apple Immunohistochem Mol Morphol,2013,21(4): 341-350). Recent studies have shown that the tumor suppressor gene p16INK4AOver-expression in most cervical carcinomas and precancerous lesions, p16 is thought to beINK4AThe protein is used as a biological marker for early screening of cervical cancer.
Persistent infection by HPV is the major viral causative agent in cervical intraepithelial carcinogenesis. In china, high risk types HPV16, 18, 31, 33, 52 and 58 are the several subtypes with the highest detection rate of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Some recent studies have shown that p16INK4AThe overexpression of (A) is closely related to HPV persistent infection and cervical cancer (Kalof AN, Cooper K., p16INK4AIMMunoexpression: defective marker of high-risk HPV and high-grade cervical cancer neoplasia. adv Ant Pathol.2006 Jul; 13(4): 190-4.). In the process of cancer, virus DNA is integrated into the genome of human cells, and the virus oncogenic protein E7 is continuously expressed along with the deletion of the expression control of the E7 protein, so that the cells are continuously differentiated and generate precancerous lesions, the regulation and control of the cells are out of control, and the immortalization occurs. The E7 protein can preferentially bind to and lose the retinoblast oncoprotein pRBAnd (6) alive. Due to p16INK4ANegative feedback regulation exists with pRB quality detection, and after the HPV E7 protein is pRB inactivated, pRB is enabled to be p16INK4AThe negative feedback regulation effect of (1) is lost, thereby leading to p16INK4AHas high positive expression rate in cervical squamous carcinoma with positive HPV infection. 7.2012, the american pathologist association (CAP) and american colposcopy and cervical pathology council (ASCCP) guidelines indicate that p16 can be a marker reflecting the effect of HPV E6/E7 on cell proliferation, with sufficient evidence to suggest recommendations for low-grade anogenital squamous epithelial lesions, suggesting p16 with a specific clone number (E6H4)INK4aThe antibodies serve as biomarkers to detect whether HPV infection affects cell cycle regulation. The clone number is p16 which is globally and uniquely authenticated by IVDINK4aAn antibody. Roche diagnosis CINtec histology p16 (containing p16 antibody E6H4) was marketed in china in 5 months of 2014. Therefore, E7 protein, which is continuously expressed in epithelial cells of patients with high cervical dysplasia caused by HPV infection and cervical cancer, is located at p16in the pathogenesis of cervical cancerINK4aAnd can also serve as a tumor marker for the detection of high-grade cervical lesions and cervical cancer.
The current diagnosis method commonly used for cervical tissues is hematoxylin-eosin staining method (H & E), and although the H & E interpretation is the current standard for grading CIN, the H & E interpretation is easily affected by subjective factors of pathologists and changes of cervical epithelization, atrophy and repair, and the like, so that the H & E interpretation has poor repeatability and low diagnosis accuracy. Clinically, more objective and accurate diagnosis standards are urgently needed. There are two main reasons why there is no suitable antibody for clinical HPV E7 detection: 1. the expression level of HPV protein in clinical tissues or cell samples is low, and high-affinity antibodies are required for detection; 2, HPV viruses cannot survive laboratory culture under current standard tissue culture techniques; 3, the E7 protein has immunosuppression, so that the animal immunized by the E7 protein can not obtain good immune response. Under the condition, a monoclonal antibody of the HPV16E7 protein and a method for detecting the over-expression of the HPV E7 are provided. The monoclonal antibody can specifically bind to HPV 16/18E 7 protein endogenous to tumor cells. The diagnosis CIN I, CIN II and CIN III must be judged according to the form of H & E, by means of the method, precancerous lesions can be accurately known by detecting the biomarker E7 protein, the accuracy of CIN grade judgment is improved, and accurate shunting of patients is ensured so as to adopt appropriate follow-up and treatment measures.

Detailed Description
The inventor finally obtains a rabbit-derived monoclonal antibody RAB-139 resisting high-risk HPVE7 through extensive and intensive research and a large number of screens. Experimental results show that the rabbit-derived monoclonal antibody aiming at the high-risk HPV 7 protein has high specificity and strong affinity, and has stronger affinity with E7 proteins of high-risk HPV16, 18, 31, 33 and 58. Further research shows that the antibody can also be used for detecting clinical paraffin section pathological samples. The invention provides a method for detecting and/or identifying high-risk HPV E7 protein, which has good stability and high detection sensitivity. The invention also provides a kit containing the antibody.
Specifically, the recombinant His-HPV16E7 fusion protein is adopted to immunize white Japanese auricle rabbits, His-HPV16E7 and another His-labeled unrelated protein are used as screening detection antigens, and after rabbit serum reaches a certain titer, B lymphocytes of lymph nodes are obtained and used for constructing a phage total antibody library. Techniques for producing specific antibodies by phage display are well known in the art. And (3) introducing the positive antibody strain Fv gene obtained by screening into a eukaryotic expression system, expressing the rabbit full-length antibody, and specifically binding the HPV E7 fusion protein in ELISA detection.
In addition to the identification of ELISA binding to recombinant protein antigens, positive monoclonal antibodies were further identified by antigen binding epitope analysis, antigen subtype cross-reaction analysis, affinity binding identification, immunocytochemical staining (Immunocytochemistry ICC) and immunohistochemical staining (Immunohistochemistry IHC). Through the identification tests, the 1 strain antibody clone RAB-139 passes the test requirements, shows the function of specifically combining high-risk HPV E7 oncoprotein at the protein molecular level, the cell level and the tissue level, most importantly contains a plurality of high-risk HPV subtypes, and increases the application value of the high-risk HPV subtype.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amino acid sequence of the HPV16E7 protein is as follows:

in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amino acid sequence of the HPV 18E7 protein is as follows:
MHGPKATLQDIVLHLEPQNEIPVDLLCHEQLSDSEEENDEIDGVNHQHLPARRAEPQRHTMLCMCCKCEARIELVVESSADDLRAFQQLFLNTLSFVCPWCASQQ(SEQ ID NO.:2)。
as used herein, the term "antibody" or "immunoglobulin" is an heterotetrameric glycan protein of about 150000 daltons with the same structural features, consisting of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains (H). Each light chain is linked to a heavy chain by one covalent disulfide bond, while the number of disulfide bonds varies between heavy chains of different immunoglobulin isotypes. Each heavy and light chain also has regularly spaced intrachain disulfide bonds. Each heavy chain has at one end a variable region (VH) followed by a plurality of constant regions. Each light chain has a variable domain (VL) at one end and a constant domain at the other end; the constant region of the light chain is opposite the first constant region of the heavy chain, and the variable region of the light chain is opposite the variable region of the heavy chain. Particular amino acid residues form the interface between the variable regions of the light and heavy chains.
As used herein, the term "variable" means that certain portions of the variable regions in an antibody differ in sequence, which form the binding and specificity of each particular antibody for its particular antigen, however, the variability is not evenly distributed throughout the antibody variable region it is concentrated in three segments called Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) or hypervariable regions in the light and heavy chain variable regions.
the "light chains" of vertebrate antibodies (immunoglobulins) can be classified into one of two distinct classes (termed kappa and lambda) according to the amino acid sequence of their constant regions of the heavy chains, the immunoglobulins can be classified into different classes.5 classes of immunoglobulins, IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM, some of which can be further classified into subclasses (isotypes), such as IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA and IgA 2.
As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody (mab)" refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous population, i.e., the individual antibodies contained in the population are identical, except for a few naturally occurring mutations that may be present. Monoclonal antibodies are directed against a single antigenic site with high specificity. Moreover, unlike conventional polyclonal antibody preparations (typically having different antibodies directed against different determinants), each monoclonal antibody is directed against a single determinant on the antigen. In addition to their specificity, the rabbit monoclonal antibodies herein are obtained by constructing full-length rabbit monoclonal antibody gene expression vectors by molecular biology methods after screening phage libraries, transferring the vectors into eukaryotic expression systems, and harvesting cell supernatants after culture, and are free from contamination by other immunoglobulins. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies, and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method.
The invention also comprises a monoclonal antibody with the corresponding amino acid sequence of the monoclonal antibody for resisting the high-risk HPVE7 protein, a monoclonal antibody with the variable region chain of the monoclonal antibody for resisting the high-risk HPVE7 protein, and other proteins or protein conjugates and fusion expression products with the chains.

Another method is to use MgCl2. If desired, transformation can also be carried out by electroporation. When the host is a eukaryote, the following DNA transfection methods may be used: a calcium phosphate coprecipitation method,conventional mechanical methods such as microinjection, electroporation, liposome encapsulation, and the like.
The obtained transformant can be cultured by a conventional method to express the polypeptide encoded by the gene of the present invention. The medium used in the culture may be selected from various conventional media depending on the host cell used. The culturing is performed under conditions suitable for growth of the host cell. After the host cells have been grown to an appropriate cell density, the selected promoter is induced by suitable means (e.g., temperature shift or chemical induction) and the cells are cultured for an additional period of time.

Discussion:
the invention adopts the method to prepare the HPV16E7 rabbit-derived monoclonal antibody, selects three rabbit single-chain antibody genes to express the eukaryotic system of the rabbit anti-full-length gene, screens the expressed full-length rabbit monoclonal antibody, and finally selects the monoclonal antibody RAB-139 which has high sensitivity and strong specificity, can identify the endogenous HPV16E7 protein of a tissue slice and has the lowest background. The research shows that the RAB-139 can effectively identify the cancerated cells in the cervical tissue slice sample by combining the high-risk HPV E7 protein related to the cervical cancer. Further research shows that RAB-139 can recognize not only the viral protein in cervical cancer tissue but also the viral protein in lesion tissue (such as CIN II-III grade) before cervical cancer. CIN encompasses all precancerous lesions and carcinoma in situ, reflecting a series of pathological changes that progress continuously in the development of cervical cancer, namely, cervical dysplasia (light → medium → heavy) → carcinoma in situ → early invasive carcinoma. CIN is a continuously progressive lesion, but there is also a possibility of reversal, either cervical dysplasia or carcinoma in situ, with only minimal reversal of carcinoma in situ. In clinic, the follow-up observation can be carried out on the CIN I grade patient with young, fertility requirement and small lesion range, and the local treatment such as frozen laser is adopted for the CIN II grade patient; while CIN grade III, the uterus is mainly removed by operation at home, and local treatment is advocated abroad. In clinical practice, the determination of CIN II is often more controversial due to the subjectivity of the pathologist. Because the high-risk HPV is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer, more than 90 percent of cervical cancer samples can detect the high-risk HPV infection, the method provided by the invention can detect the high-risk HPV in the early CIN stage and at least in the cervical moderate lesion sample, and the high-risk HPV can be used as an index for judging whether the cervical lesion is deteriorated or not, so that whether the CIN patient is operated or not can be shunted, an auxiliary basis is provided for clinical doctors to diagnose and treat the patient, the missed diagnosis rate caused by subjective judgment on tissue morphology can be reduced, and the loss caused by over-treatment can be reduced.
