牛源致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌溶血素BL亚基的原核表达及其生物学活性分析

Prokaryotic expression and biological activities of the hemolysin BL subunit of a pathogenic Bacillus cereus of cattle origin

摘要:

蜡样芽孢杆菌属于革兰氏阳性菌，分布广泛，具有一定的致病性。不同的蜡样芽孢杆菌携带有不同的毒力因子，这直接决定了蜡样芽孢杆菌株致病性的差异。研究和探讨毒力因子分布以及具体毒素的生物活性有助于对蜡样芽孢杆菌病采取更科学的防控。本研究通过原核表达系统将溶血素BL三亚基重组表达，并对表达蛋白进行了纯化和部分生物学活性的检测。研究结果表明，牛源致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌溶血素BL可以在原核表达系统中成功表达和纯化，牛源致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌溶血素BL拥有溶血性、细胞毒性、很好的免疫原性以及对小鼠具有一定的免疫保护性。本研究表达了溶血素BL三亚基，并探究了牛源致病性蜡样芽孢杆溶血素BL的生物学活性。本研究为进一步揭示蜡样芽孢杆菌溶血素BL的致病作用机制和建立针对牛源致病性蜡样芽孢杆菌病的检测方法奠定了理论基础。

Abstract:

Bacillus cereus belongs to Gram-positive bacteria, which is widely distributed in nature and shows certain pathogenicity. Different B. cereus strains carry different subsets of virulence factors, which directly determine the difference in their pathogenicity. It is therefore important to study the distribution of virulence factors and the biological activity of specific toxins for precise prevention and control of B. cereus infection. In this study, the hemolysin BL triayl was expressed, purified, and characterized. The results showed that the bovine pathogenic B. cereus hemolysin BL could be expressed and purified in the prokaryotic expression system, and the bovine pathogenic B. cereus hemolysin BL showed hemolysis, cytotoxicity, good immunogenicity and certain immune protection in mice. In this study, the recombinant expression of hemolysin BL triayl was achieved, and the biological activity of hemolysin BL of bovine pathogenic ceroid spore was investigated. This study may facilitate further investigating the pathogenic mechanism of B. cereus hemolysin BL and developing a detection method for bovine pathogenic B. cereus disease.
