摘　　要：Doppel(Dpl)蛋白是新近发现的PrP相关蛋白。根据GenBank公布的人PRNDcDNA序列设计合成特异性引物,用PCR方法从人外周血白细胞总DNA中扩增获得531 bp的人PRND完整基因序列,测序正确后克隆至表达载体,转化大肠杆菌JM109,IPTG诱导表达重组人Doppel(rhDpl)蛋白。目的蛋白以包涵体形式表达,表达量占菌体总蛋白的60%以上。表达产物用Ni2+亲和层析柱纯化及羟胺化学裂解法去除标签蛋白,SDS-PAGE检测证实,纯化的rhDpl蛋白相对分子量约为15 kD。Trypan Blue及MTT实验显示,在50μg/mL及以上剂量时,rhDpl蛋白具有抑制人神经母细胞瘤SH-SY5Y细胞生长的作用,在100μg/mL及以上剂量时,rhDpl具有杀伤HeLa细胞的活性,呈现明显的剂量和时间依赖性。Hoechst33342荧光染色观察显示经rhDpl作用的人神经母细胞瘤细胞SH-SY5Y呈现出细胞凋亡现象。这些结果提示Dpl蛋白具有体外细胞毒作用,并呈现明显的组织类型特异性。以上工作为进一步了解人Dpl蛋白体内外生物学作用奠定了基础。Doppel （Dpl） is a newly identified PrP-associated protein. In this study, specific primers for human PRND gene were designed based on the human PRND cDNA sequence encoding human Dpl protein reported in the GenBank. The full-length PRND gene sequence with 531 bp long was obtained from DNA of human peripheral leucocytes as the template by polymerase chain reaction （PCR）. After verified by sequence analysis, the PCR product was inserted into a prokaryotic-expressing vector and then transformed into E. coli JM109. The recombinant human Doppel protein （rhDpl） was expressed as inclusion bodies after IPTG induction, with the yield of more than 60% of total bacterial proteins. The rhDpl protein was purified by Ni^2＋ affinity chromatography and cleaved by hydroxylamine. SDS-PAGE revealed the molecular weight of the purified rhDpl protein was about 15 kD. Trypan blue and MTT assays identified that rhDpl in vitro inhibited the growth of human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SYSY at concentrations≥50 μg/mL and human cervical cancer cell line HeLa at concentrations ≥ 100 μg/mL, showing remarkably dose-and time-dependant manners. Hoechst33342-staining of SH-SYSY cells treated with rhDpl showed massive apoptosis under fluorescent microscope. These results indicate that Dpl protein possesses cytotoxic activity in vitro, with obvious tissue-specific characteristics. This study provides the foundation for further study of Dpl biological functions in vitro and in vivo.
