    大肠杆菌生产携带多拷贝重复序列的DNA疫苗的发酵工艺研究

    Fermentation process of Escherichia coli Stbl3 producing DNA vaccine with multiple copies of repetitive sequences

    • 摘要: 携带多拷贝CpG序列的DNA疫苗在水生动物疾病防控领域展现出巨大潜力,但其规模化生产工艺仍是制约产业化的关键瓶颈。本研究以重组大肠杆菌Stbl3为工程菌,对携带多拷贝重复序列的质粒DNA疫苗发酵工艺进行了优化。通过摇瓶实验筛选确定葡萄糖为最适的碳源种类,最佳浓度为5 g/L;在5 L发酵罐规模中对接种时机、接种量、溶氧水平、补料策略及温度诱导条件等进行了优化,最终确认工艺条件为:于对数中期按4.5%接种量接种、维持溶氧水平在30%、并在发酵后期采用42 ℃温度诱导。该工艺最终在30 L发酵罐中完成了验证,最终菌体密度OD600达到42.3,质粒产量提升至178.6 mg/L。质粒纯化产物经质量检验:A260/A280比值处于1.8~2.0,符合纯度要求;宿主基因组DNA与RNA污染物含量均低于1%;质粒超螺旋比例不低于80%,目标多拷贝重复序列片段经PCR验证完整性良好。动物实验表明,该DNA疫苗表现出良好的生物安全性;免疫攻毒实验保护率达到70%以上。利用重组大肠杆菌Stbl3对多拷贝重复序列质粒的发酵工艺优化为水产DNA疫苗的产业化发展提供了应用基础。

       

      Abstract: DNA vaccines carrying multiple copies of repetitive sequences show great potential in aquatic animal disease prevention and control, but their large-scale production process remains a key bottleneck hindering industrialization. To achieve high-yield, high-quality plasmid DNA, this study optimized the fermentation process for the recombinant E. coli strain Stbl3 harboring plasmid DNA vaccines with multiple copies of repetitive sequences. Shaker flask experiments identified glucose as the optimal carbon source at a concentration of 5 g/L. In a 5 L fermenter scale, parameters including inoculation timing, inoculum volume, dissolved oxygen level, feeding strategy, and temperature induction conditions were optimized. The final process conditions were established as follows: inoculation at 4.5% in mid-log phase, maintaining dissolved oxygen at 30%, and setting induction temperature at 42 ℃ during the late fermentation stage. This process was successfully validated in a 30 L fermenter, achieving a final cell density of OD600 42.3 and plasmid yield to 178.6 mg/L, of which the supercoiled fraction exceeded 80% and repetitive sequence fragments kept integrity. Animal studies confirmed the DNA vaccine's favorable biosafety profile, with challenge immunity trials achieving over 70% protection rates. Collectively, the fermentation process optimization for multicopy repetitive sequence plasmids using recombinant E. coli Stbl3 provides an applied foundation for industrial-scale development of aquatic DNA vaccines.
