E7 oncoprotein of human papillomavirus-16 (HPV-16) is constitutively produced in cervical cancer (CxCa) and is a good candidate for the design of therapeutic vaccines. In this work, the nisin-controlled expression system was used to display the E7 protein at the cell surface of the food-grade Gram-positive bacterium Lactococcus lactis. An efficient cell wall anchoring of E7 was obtained. Intranasal administration of these recombinant lactococci in mice induced an HPV-16 E7-specific immune response. This is the first report of E7 cell wall anchoring in L. lactis and represents one more step towards the use of live food-grade bacteria to fight against CxCa.
人乳头瘤病毒16型(HPV - 16)的E7癌蛋白在宫颈癌(CxCa)中持续产生,是治疗性疫苗设计的良好候选对象。在本研究中,使用乳链菌肽控制表达系统将E7蛋白展示在食品级革兰氏阳性菌乳酸乳球菌的细胞表面。实现了E7在细胞壁上的有效锚定。对小鼠进行这些重组乳球菌的鼻内给药诱导了HPV - 16 E7特异性免疫反应。这是E7在乳酸乳球菌细胞壁上锚定的首次报道,代表了朝着利用活的食品级细菌对抗宫颈癌迈出的又一步。
