摘要： 采用软件分析选择与IL-4分子结合与活性相关的重要位点13T,121R,通过定点突变得到IL-4突变基因cpIL4(13D121E),将其与绿脓杆菌外毒素突变基因PE38KDEL融合,成功地构建了编码免疫毒素cpIL4(13D121E)-PE38KDEL的融合基因.该基因在原核表达系统中得到了高效表达,表达量占细胞全蛋白的30%以上.表达产物经亲和色谱和阴离子交换色谱纯化后,进行细胞毒性实验,证明其对表达型IL-4受体的淋巴瘤细胞Daudi具有良好的细胞毒作用,活性是同类型IL-4免疫毒素的2倍,而对表达型IL-4受体的内皮细胞活性较低.

Abstract: A wide variety of human cancer cells such as glioma and lymphoma express interleukin-4 receptors(IL-4R), therefore, it may be a good option to treat IL-4R-bearing tumor with IL-4-containing immunotoxins. By software analysis, two important amino acids 13T and 121R of (IL-4) were chosen for site-directed mutation. Interleukin-4 mutein cpIL-4(13D121E) was obtained through overlapping PCR and the chimeric immunotoxin was constructed by fusion of the gene encoding cpIL-4(13D121E) to a gene encoding a modified Pseudomonas exotoxin A(PE38KDEL). The chimeric immunotoxin was expressed in E. coli with the yield of about 30% of the total bacterial protein. After being highly purified by affinity chromatography and anion exchange chromatography, the chimeric protein was tested for its cytotoxicity. The data show that cpIL-4(13D121E)-PE38KDEL had improved cytotoxicity to lymphoma cells Daudi expressing class Ⅰ IL-4R in comparison with other IL-4-containing immunotoxin and had a lower cytotoxicity to endothelial cells expressing class Ⅱ IL-4R.
