Problems solved by technology

At present, recombinant hFSH (Human follicle-stimulating hormone, referred to as hFSH), a human drug produced by CHO cells, is on the market, but there are still the following problems: first, the expression level of recombinant hFSH produced by the existing method is too low, and the preparation process is complicated. The cost is too high; secondly, its half-life is short, requiring frequent injections

Embodiment 1

[0061] Example 1. Construction of gene expression vector encoding recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein

[0062] The gene sequence design was optimized based on the preferred codons of CHO cells, and the optimized fusion gene containing the signal peptide encoding hFSH protein β chain and its mature peptide, CTP and hFSH α chain mature peptide was synthesized by artificial synthesis. The synthetic 756bp DNA fragment was inserted between the EcoRV restriction sites in the transfer vector such as pUC57 to obtain the hFSH plasmid (phFSH), and the correctness of the inserted sequence was verified by DNA sequencing.

[0063] The fusion gene L-vIgG2Fc encoding the flexible peptide linker (Linker, detect "L") and the Fc variant (vIgG2Fc) fragment containing BamHI (5' end) and EcoRI (3' end) restriction sites were artificially synthesized respectively. The obtained fusion gene fragments were respectively inserted into transfer vectors such as PUC19 between the BamHI and EcoRI sites to ob...

Embodiment 2

[0066] Example 2. Stable expression of recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein in mammalian cells

[0067] The expression plasmid pCDNA3-hFSH-L-Fc constructed in Example 1 was transfected into DHFR enzyme-deficient CHO host cells (CHO-DHFR - ), figure 2 b shows a schematic diagram of the recombinant dimerized hFSH-Fc fusion protein. Transfection was carried out by electroporation, using a Gene Pulser Electroporator (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA) with a capacitance of 960 μF, setting its electric field to 250 V, and 2 to 5 × 10 cells in the cuvette. 7 Add 10 μg of plasmid DNA linearized with PvuI to each cell. Two days after transfection, the medium was changed to a growth medium containing 100 μg / mL Zeocin resistance marker gene to obtain transfectants that had passed the initial resistance screening. Using the method of western blotting, use anti-hFSH antibody to detect the expression of hFSH-Fc, such as Figure 6 . The use of DHFR to amplify the selectable marker gene...

Embodiment 3

[0068] Example 3. Production and purification of recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein

[0069] The high-yield cell strain obtained in Example 2 was first acclimatized in a culture dish without serum, and then transferred to a shake flask for suspension acclimatization. During the acclimatization process, the medium was screened at the same time, and different components were added to observe the growth of the cells. Growth state, growth trend, and biochemical indicators such as the activity of the expressed product and sialic acid, the preferred cell culture conditions are: adding 100 μM Cu2+ to the basal medium, adding 2 mM Man NAc (N-acetyl-D-aminomannose) to the feeding medium ), the method can increase the glycosylation degree of the recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein, and increase the sialic acid content by about 20%. After the acclimatization is successful, the cells are expanded to a sufficient amount, and the 7L bioreactor is monitored for culture. When the cell density ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a long-acting recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone fusion protein (Human follicle-stimulating hormone-Fc fusion protein, referred to as hFSH-Fc) and a preparation method thereof. The hFSH-Fc protein is a dimerization fusion protein, and its amino acid The sequence from N-terminal to C-terminal includes hFSHβ subunit, CTP, hFSHα subunit, flexible peptide linker and human IgG2Fc variant. Its in vivo half-life is longer than that of existing follicle-stimulating hormone and its drug effect is better. The invention also relates to the use of the recombinant hFSH-Fc fusion protein composition in the preparation of medicines in the field of animal reproduction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of molecular biology and veterinary medicine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a long-acting recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone fusion protein, its preparation method and application. The in vivo half-life of the fusion protein is significantly prolonged, and its curative effect in the field of animal reproduction is better than that of existing follicle-stimulating hormone products. Background technique [0002] Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is the main ingredient of drugs commonly used in the field of animal reproduction. FSH currently on the market is mainly a biochemical variety extracted from the pituitary gland of pigs. It can promote estrus in pigs and has wider application in the fields of cattle and sheep breeding. Biochemically extracted FSH has defects such as virus contamination, limited sources of raw materials, difficult collection, low content and complicated purif...
