design, cloning and expression assay of oipa gene in a bicistronic vector harboring mice il-18 gene: potential implications for helicobacter pylori vaccine investigations
Authors
abstract
introduction: helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection has remained as a global health problem. animal studies demonstrated the role of h. pylori oipa gene in the development of gastric cancer. the aim of this study was the cloning and expression of helicobacter pylori oipa gene in a bicistronic vector harboring mice il-18 gene. materials and methods: the target gene encoding oipa was amplified from a codon-optimized clone by pcr, and then double-digested by restriction enzymes. the pires-igk/mil18/fc plasmid was simultaneously digested by bstxi/noti enzymes to elicit the egfp segment. pcr product of oipa was inserted into pires-igk/mil18/fc plasmid using t4 ligase. transformation into dh5α strain was done. cloning was confirmed by pcr, enzymatic digestion and sequencing. expression of the oipa and il-18 mrna was assessed by means of taqman real-time pcr. results: electrophoresis of pcr product, enzymatic digestion and sequencing showed that the h. pylori oipa gene was successfully cloned into pires-igk/mil18/fc to generate mil-18-pires2-oipa plasmid. the results of real-time pcr confirmed the successful expression of both oipa and il-18 in mouse macrophage cell line. conclusion: considering the role of oipa in pathogenesis of h. pylori and potent activity of il-18 as a molecular adjuvant, the results of the present study showed that the expression of codon-optimized oipa gene in bicistronic vector including mouse il-18 is successful. so, it could be considered as an appropriate genetic vaccine candidate for h. pylori in future investigations.

full textCloning and Sequence Analysis of Gene Encoding OipA from Iranian Clinical Helicobacter pylori
Background: Outer inflammatory protein A (OipA) is one of the important adhesins of H. pylori and a valuable candidate for vaccine development. Its gene is under "on-off" switch status which correlates with OipA protein expression. Objectives: We aimed to obtain a recombinant OipA clone (with "on" status) from an Iranian clinical isolate. Materials and Methods: A clinical H. pylori-isolate demo...

Helicobacter pylori infection is among the most prevalent infections in the world involving more than half the adult population. H. pylori infection results in active chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers and enhances the risk of gastric malignancies. It is of utmost importance to prevent H. pylori infection particularly in highly prevalent countries including Iran. The urease holoenzyme produced by...

Background: Vaccines have played a special role in controlling and reducing mortality from infectious diseases. In this regard, DNA vaccines were developed to ease the production and reduce the risks of traditional vaccines. Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been introduced as the causing agent of cervical cancer. The capsid protein (L1) of HPV has been used to produce subunit and DNA vaccines. Th...

DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
