: Research on the immunocastration vaccine is of great significance for animal management. In this study, the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) ferritin nanoparticle vaccine was constructed using Spy Catcher-Spy Tag (SC-ST) as a delivery system; : The Spy Catcher was constructed to fuse with the expression vector pET-30a-SF of ferritin nanoparticles. Two polypeptides, STG1: Spy Tag-GnRH I-PADRE and STG2: Spy Tag-GnRH I-GnRH II, coupled to SF in vitro to form two nanoparticles, were designed and synthesized to detect castration effects in mice. We mixed them with the adjuvant MONTANIDE ISA 206 VG to explore the adjuvant's effect on immunogenicity; : All immunized groups produced anti-GnRH specific antibodies after the second immunization, which was significantly higher in the immunized group and the combined adjuvant group than in the control group, and the immune response could still be detected at the 12th week. The concentrations of testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and luteinizing hormone in serum were significantly decreased. The number of sperm in the epididymis of mice in each immune group was significantly reduced, and the rate of sperm deformity was high; : The two ferritin-based GnRH nanoparticles developed in this study can significantly cause testicular atrophy, decreased gonadal hormone concentration, decreased sperm count, and increased deformity rate in male mice. These findings provide experimental evidence supporting their potential application in animal immunocastration.
免疫去势疫苗的研究对动物管理具有重要意义。在本研究中,以Spy Catcher-Spy Tag(SC-ST)作为递送系统构建促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)铁蛋白纳米颗粒疫苗;将Spy Catcher构建为与铁蛋白纳米颗粒的表达载体pET-30a-SF融合。设计并合成了两种在体外与SF偶联形成两种纳米颗粒的多肽STG1:Spy Tag-GnRH I-PADRE和STG2:Spy Tag-GnRH I-GnRH II,用于检测小鼠的去势效果。将它们与佐剂MONTANIDE ISA 206 VG混合,以探究佐剂对免疫原性的影响;所有免疫组在第二次免疫后均产生了抗GnRH特异性抗体,免疫组和联合佐剂组的抗体水平显著高于对照组,且在第12周仍可检测到免疫反应。血清中睾酮、促卵泡激素和促黄体生成素的浓度显著降低。各免疫组小鼠附睾中的精子数量显著减少,精子畸形率较高;本研究开发的两种基于铁蛋白的GnRH纳米颗粒可显著导致雄性小鼠睾丸萎缩、性腺激素浓度降低、精子数量减少和畸形率增加。这些发现为它们在动物免疫去势中的潜在应用提供了实验证据。
