Background: E.coli type II L-asparaginase is widely used for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, serious side effects such as allergic or hypersensitivity reactions are common for L-asparaginase treatment. Methods for minimizing immune response on L-asparaginase treatment in human include bioengeneering of less immunogenic version of the enzyme or utilizing the homologous enzymes of different origin. To rationalize these approaches we compared immunogenicity of L-asparaginases from five bacterial organisms and performed sequence-structure analysis of the presumable epitope regions.Methods: IgG and IgM immune response in C57B16 mice after immunization with Wollinella succinogenes type II (WsA), Yersinia pseudotuberculosis type II (YpA), Erwinia carotovora type II (EwA), and Rhodospirillum rubrum type I (RrA) and Escherichia coli type II (EcA) L-asparaginases was evaluated using standard ELISA method. The comparative bioinformatics analysis of structure and sequence of the bacterial L-asparaginases presumable epitope regions was performed.Results: We showed different immunogenic properties of five studied L-asparaginases and confirmed the possibility of replacement of EcA with L-asparaginase from different origin as a second-line treatment. Studied L-asparaginases might be placed in the following order based on the immunogenicity level: YpA > RrA, WsA ≥ EwA > EcA. Most significant cross-immunogenicity was shown between EcA and YpA. We propose that a long N-terminus of YpA enzyme enriched with charged aminoacids and tryptophan could be a reason of higher immunogenicity of YpA in comparison with other considered enzymes. Although the recognized structural and sequence differences in putative epitope regions among five considered L-asparaginases does not fully explain experimental observation of the immunogenicity of the enzymes, the performed analysis set the foundation for further research in this direction.Conclusions: The performed studies showed different immunogenic properties of L-asparaginases and confirmed the possibility of replacement of EcA with L-asparaginase from different origin. The preferable enzymes for the second line treatment are WsA, RrA, or EwA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
