人類多瘤性病毒感染之分子研究

人類多瘤性病毒 (polyomavirus) 屬於DNA腫瘤病毒，包括JC病毒及BK病毒。該病毒為無套膜 (non-envelope) 病毒，病毒顆粒成份含有主要殼體蛋白VP1 (75%)、次要殼體蛋白VP2及VP3 (各約5%) 以及病毒基因組 (genome) 。在病毒感染細胞早期所產生的大腫瘤抗原 (large tumor antigen; LT) 會調控病毒基因組的複製及晚期殼體蛋白的生合成。大腫瘤抗原會與細胞內RB及p53蛋白結合而導致細胞癌化。在長期免疫低下的病人，JC病毒會溶解性地感染人類腦細胞 (oligodendrocyte)，引發進行性多病灶腦白質症 (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy; PML)，因而導致病人死亡。BK病毒會感染腎臟及尿道細胞而引起腎臟炎、出血性膀胱炎及尿道炎等疾病。目前我們實驗室正致力於研究人類多瘤性病毒的致病機轉，企圖瞭解該病毒如何感染人類腦細胞、如何引發細胞病變及病毒如何在細胞內複製。到目前為止對人類多瘤性病毒的研究相當緩慢，病毒在體外培養不易為主要因素之一。在人類多瘤性病毒感染之分子研究，我們證明在還原劑及金屬螯合劑的存在下，重組病毒殼體可被瓦解成次殼體。這些外型與生理特性意味著基因重組的VP1蛋白摺疊構型 (folding) 與原始病毒蛋白構型非常相近。我們更進一步探討DNA包裝的機制，結果發現VP1的DNA包裝訊號位於N-端12個氨基酸區域。在in vivo及in vitro實驗證明該DNA包裝訊號切除後，無法包裝DNA於殼體內而形成空殼體形態。此外，我們更進一步發現VP1 N-端19個胺基酸及C-端17個胺基酸為該病毒殼體組裝所必需之胜肽區域。在JC病毒次要殼體蛋白，VP2及VP3， 我們發現VP2/3 C-端的13個胺基酸為DNA結合區域。以上這些發現對於JC病毒顆粒組裝機轉提供重要訊息。此外，以液相層析串聯式質譜儀鑑定BK病毒蛋白質的修飾之研究，研究結果顯示VP1含有9種修飾; VP2含有5種修飾; VP3含有6種修飾。這些發現將有助於未來瞭解該病毒之複製及導致腎臟衰竭之致病機轉。我們更進一步研究VP1 Ser-80及VP2 Ser-254磷酸化導致BK病毒於腎臟細胞複製之致病機轉，本研究結果證明BK病毒VP1 Ser-80及VP2 Ser-254磷酸化會讓BK病毒再活化，引起BK病毒子代在腎臟組織大量複製，導致溶解性地感染腎臟細胞，造成腎病變，最後導致腎衰竭。

基因治療

人類多瘤性病毒，JC病毒，結構蛋白VP1是主要殼體蛋白，約占病毒總蛋白量75 ％。將JCV VP1基因選殖至大腸桿菌進行表達，其蛋白質表達後會自行組裝成類病毒顆粒。此類病毒顆粒可以滲透壓震盪法（osmotic shock）體外包裝運送外源性核酸，進入哺乳類細胞，表達或是抑制特定蛋白質，以影響細胞生理。此結果顯示JC病毒顆粒有可能可發展為基因輸送載體。我們利用JC病毒殼體做為人類腦神經膠瘤之基因治療，此研究利用JCV類病毒殼體包裝腫瘤抗原之反義核甘酸可促使人類神經膠原母細胞死亡。我們進一步發展出在大腸桿菌體內，表達組裝病毒殼體的同時，進行外源性的DNA包裝。這種細胞內包裝DNA的表達系統可以對包裝入的DNA有更好的保護性，也相對增加了輸送基因的效率。以此系統所生產的JCV類病毒顆粒經測試，至少可感染腎臟、腦部、肺、卵巢、大腸、骨頭、皮膚及B淋巴球等13種人類的癌細胞株，並可表達轉殖基因之蛋白產物。這些結果暗示著此基因載體可能可輸送治療性基因以治療特定的腫瘤。為增加此基因載體的應用性，我們進一步分析在大腸桿菌表達系統中，JCV類病毒顆粒可以包裹的DNA長度。實驗結果顯示，約10 kb左右的DNA長度可以被包入殼體顆粒內。這結果顯示利用JC類病毒殼體作為基因載體，在治療性基因或組織專一性的啟動子的選擇有更大的彈性。大腸桿菌是一種相當廉價的蛋白質表達系統，在此系統下表達出攜帶有外源性基因的JCV類病毒顆粒，只要以蔗糖或氯化銫梯度進行超高速離心，即可被純化出，製備過程簡單且經濟。我們利用此方法將外源性基因如螢光蛋白質體（pEGFP-N3 plasmid）或人類單純疱疹病毒（HSV-1）自殺性基因質體（pUMVC1-tk），與已含有 JC VP1 基因質體之大腸桿菌直接進行轉染（transformation），使重組性大腸桿菌內同時含有 JC VP1 基因質體及 pEGFP-N3 plasmid 或 pUMVC1-tk ，並在誘發 JC VP1 蛋白表達後，在大腸桿菌中自行組裝成類病毒顆粒時，外源性基因質體可同時包裝進入類病毒殼體內，並將其分別命名為 gfp-VLP 及 tk-VLP。此 gfp-VLP 或 tk-VLP可成功感染人類大腸癌細胞（colon adenocarcinoma cell，COLO-320 HSR），使 GFP 可在COLO-320 HSR細胞內表達，與促使大腸癌細胞在含無毒性病毒治療藥物（ganciclovir，GCV）之培基中造成細胞毒殺效果。而在裸鼠動物實驗模式中，利用尾部靜脈注射方式，注射 gfp-VLP 到 COLO-320 HSR 皮下接種形成腫瘤之裸鼠體內，可在腫瘤區域內觀察到綠色螢光蛋白表達，並且將 tk-VLP 全身性注射到 COLO-320 HSR 皮下腫瘤之裸鼠體內，配合腹腔注射 GCV，可觀察到 COLO-320 HSR 皮下腫瘤之生長受到抑制，腫瘤之體積比控制組明顯減小，此研究之結果證明，未來可利用 JCV VP1 VLP 運送治療基因，做為人類大腸癌基因治療載體。因此，未來我們也將企圖利用該病毒殼體做為基因治療載體進行研究。此基因重組之病毒殼體不僅有助於JC病毒感染之分子研究，而且可應用於疫苗、檢驗試劑及基因治療載體之臨床使用。
