Gene cloning, expression and vaccine testing of Schistosoma japonicum SjFABP

A 600 bp DNA fragment was amplified by PCR from an adult Schistosoma japonicum cDNA library. Sequence analysis confirmed that this fragment contained an S. japonicum Chinese mainland strain fatty acid binding protein (Sj14FABP) gene. This gene was subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and in Baculovirus/silkworm systems. The recombinant protein from E. coli was a 41 kDa GST fusion protein (rSj14/GST), which could be purified by glutathione agarose affinity chromatography, with a yield of 25 mg/L E. coli culture. The recombinant protein from the Baculovirus/silkworm system was an 18 kDa fusion protein (rSj14/His), which could be purified by Ni-NTA resin chromatography column with a yield of 3.5 mg per silkworm larva. Both rSj14/GST and rSj14/His could be recognized by S. japonicum-infected mouse sera and anti-rSj14/GST mouse sera in Western blotting. The purified recombinant protein was immunogenic in mice, rats and sheep, and 34.3%, 31.9% and 59.2% worm reductions, respectively, were obtained in vaccinated Kunming mice, Wistar rats and sheep vaccinated with Sj14/GST, compared to non-vaccinated control groups. Worm reductions of 48.8% and 49.0% were recorded in Balb/c mice immunized with Sj14/His, compared to non-vaccinated and BCG-vaccinated groups, respectively. These results indicate that rSj14FABP is a promising candidate vaccine for schistosomiasis japonica, particularly as in the rat and sheep vaccination experiments, no adjuvant was used.

A novel platelet glycoprotein Ib-binding protein with human platelet aggregation-inhibiting activity from Trimeresurus jerdonii venom

Platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) is a primary adhesion receptor and involved in platelet-related disorders. However, it is difficult to study GPIb-specific platelet stimulation using physiological ligands in vivo. GPIb-binding snake C-type lectins (snaclecs) are useful tools for exploring GPIb in vitro because they act on platelets differently. In the present study, a novel GPIb-binding snaclec, named jerdonibitin, was purified, molecular cloned and characterized from Trimeresurus jerdonii venom. On SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, it showed a single band with an apparent molecular weight of 25 kDa under non-reducing conditions and two distinct bands with apparent molecular weights of 15 kDa (α-subunit) and 13 kDa (β-subunit) under reducing conditions. The cDNA sequences of each subunit of jerdonibitin were identified and both deduced amino acid sequences were confirmed by N-terminal protein sequencing and trypsin-digested peptide mass fingerprinting of MALDI-TOF. Sequence alignment showed that jerdonibitin is a snaclec and has sequence similarity with TSV-GPIb-BP (a GPIb-inhibitory snaclec). Jerdonibitin dose-dependently inhibited platelet aggregation induced by ristocetin or low-dose thrombin, but not by high-dose thrombin. The GPIbα was detected by affinity chromatography on jerdonibitin. In vivo, jerdonibitin also dose-dependently induced thrombocytopenia of mice and platelet counts remained at very low level after 18 h intravenous injection. In summary, a novel GPIb-inhibitory snaclec was molecular cloned and characterized, which might provide insights into investigation of how GPIb-inhibitory snaclecs work and development of new antiplatelet agents.
