【摘要】 近年来,由于抗生素的长期和高剂量使用,许多菌株对其产生耐药性,甚至出现了能够耐受几乎所有抗生素的“超细菌”。因此,寻找一种能够替代抗生素的药物迫在眉睫。抗菌肽是宿主先天防御系统的重要组成成分,而来自人皮肤的抗菌肽在抗感染的第一道防线中起主要作用。由于抗菌肽的使用不易产生耐药和交叉抗性,且具有抗细菌、真菌、病毒、原生动物、后生动物寄生物及肿瘤等活性,因此其将有望成为替代普通抗生素的一类新型药物。 人汗腺抗菌肽Dermcidin是Schittek等科学家2001年从人体汗液中分离得到的新型小分子抗菌肽,它不仅能杀死革兰氏阴性、阳性细菌和部分真菌,而且还可能对某些癌症如乳腺癌有治疗作刚。它作为一种药物,对人体不存在抗原性,是代替抗生素的首选药物。但是,由于Dermcidin被发现的时间短,到目前为止,对它的研究仅限于其在染色体上的基因定位,从人汗液分离或化学合成该肽来研究其抗菌活性和一些检测方法的摸索。而对Dermcidin的理化性质、二级结构及其在抗菌过程中的结构-功能关系和作用机制的研究仍是一片空白。这些都限制了Dermcidin成为新型抗生素,在感染性疾病和炎症上广泛应用的可能。因此,大量获得Dermcidin,系统研究其结构-功能关系和作用机理是解决上述问题的关键。 为了能快速并低成本地获得Dermcidin,首先我们将Dermcidin基因克隆到毕赤酵母载体pPIC9中,并在毕赤酵母GS115中进行表达。实验结果显示毕赤酵母GS115系统所表达的Dermcidin在pH5.5~7.4范围内具有抗大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的活性。这个结果说明在毕赤酵母中表达的DCD-1L能够抗部分革

【Abstract】 The continuous use of chemical antibiotics has led to the appearance of multi-resistant bacterial strains all over the world, which resulted in higher mortality of many infectious diseases. Therefore, it is urgent to search for alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides are an important component of the innate immune response and play a key role as the first line of defense against infections. Due to the antimicrobial peptides lack of accumulation in microorganism in vivo and inducing cross-resistance, and their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities against bacteria, fungi, viruses and tumors, antimicrobial peptides have promising therapeutic potentials.Dermcidin is a novel antimicrobial peptide identified from human glands by Schittek et al most recently. Dermcidin has broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive 、 Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, and also has therapeutic potentials against cancer, such as breast cancer. As a drug, dermcidin has lack of antigenicity and could be an ideal alternative to antibiotics. However, it is poorly understood about dermcidin’s functional and structural characterizations 、 structure-function relationships and the bacterial resistance mechanism, which limits the applications of dermcidin in infectious diseases and inflammations.
