AIM

To screen and identify the human colorectal carcinoma associated antigen genes.

METHODS

Three human colorectal carcinoma cDNA phage expression libraries were constructed. They were screened from autologous and allogeneic sera of colorectal cancer patients by SEREX (serological identification of antigens by recombinant expression cloning). The sera were pre-absorbed by the extract E. coli XL1-blue. Four different serum-reactive cDNA clones were isolated by immunoscreening from a colon cancer-derived cDNA expression library. Positive clones were amplified by plate culture, the purified lambda phage DNA was cut by Sfi I restriction endonucleases and amplified with PCR in order to identify the insert size of cDNA by electrophresis.

RESULTS

Three cDNA phage expression libraries were constructed. The titer of library was 2.39×106 nfu/L, 2.07×106 nfu/L and 1.86×106 nfu/L respectively, The range of the fragment length of exogenously inserted cDNA was between 0.5-4 kb, the average was 1.4 kb, 1.6 kb and 1.3 kb, respectively. Four gene clones were obtained by SEREX screening, the length of their insert fragments was 2.4 kb, 1.8 kb, 2.3 kb and 2.2 kb, respectively.

CONCLUSION

To screen and identify human colorectal carcinoma cDNA phage expression libraries by SEREX is a useful method to search for human colorectal carcinoma associated antigen genes. It is important for early diagnosis and research of recombinant vaccine for colorectal cancer.

3 讨论

目前国内研究大肠癌基因表达较多[1-26], 而很少有人构建大肠癌抗原基因cDNA表达文库[27] 以寻找大肠癌相关基因. 用血清免疫学方法筛选cDNA文库(SEREX)是近来发现的获取特异性基因克隆的分子生物学技术, 是应用于重组疫苗和诊断抗原研究的一种有效方法. 应用SEREX技术在大肠癌已发现较多新基因. Scanlan et al [28]发现48个抗原NY-CO-1-NY-CO-48, 17个为新基因, NY-CO-13为p53肿瘤抑制基因的突变体, NY-CO-27主要在胃肠道表达, 为组织特异性的亚型, 有半数患者的血清发生反应. Hampton et al [29]发现2个癌基因专宿白血病病毒包膜蛋白(env)抗原和鼠ATRX蛋白抗原, env代表2个未突变的肿瘤抗原, 其DNA多核苷酸编码的env多肽在小鼠体内引起强烈而特异的免疫反应. Line et al [30]发现5个基因, RHAMM和AD034基因有不同的组织表达. NAP1L1, RHAMM和AD034基因只在肿瘤组织中表达. AD034的序列与酪氨酸激酶的基序移码插入32 bp的位点是肿瘤分化的cDNA隐含的剪接位点. RHAMM cDNA序列有2个剪接变异, 有2个亚细胞位点. 多数患者的血清对C21ORF2、EPRS和NAP1L1有反应. Somers et al [31]发现13抗原基因, 1个新基因, 与HSPC218同源, 可作为肿瘤疫苗候选基因及诊断与预后的标记物.

肿瘤抗原的鉴定不仅有助于阐明肿瘤免疫分子机制, 也是建立新的肿瘤免疫学诊断和防治方法的基础. 大多数人类肿瘤可表达若干种具有免疫原性的蛋白质, 但只有那些具有特异性或有一定优势的抗原(如CT抗原)可用于制备疫苗. 选择在组织限制性mRNA表达和肿瘤限制性免疫原性两个方面最有意义的抗原做进一步的研究. 由于肿瘤抗原同时存在特异性的体液免疫和细胞免疫, 其所揭示的T细胞和B细胞双识别肿瘤抗原现象, 广泛存在于肿瘤患者中. 用肿瘤特异的T淋巴细胞识别肿瘤抗原的多肽, 产生多价疫苗, 是肿瘤基因疫苗的一个策略. Okada et al [32] 进行肿瘤疫苗治疗的结果表明, 临床有望开展肿瘤的疫苗治疗. SEREX所鉴定的肿瘤抗原除可作为制备肿瘤疫苗的对象外, 还可作为大范围人群血清学调查, 肿瘤临床诊断以及肿瘤疫苗临床疗效监测的指标. 对大肠癌抗原基因的筛选, 对阳性克隆进一步做序列分析和生物活性鉴定, 可望对大肠癌的病因学、诊断、治疗有突破性的进展.
