Embodiment 1

[0048] The construction of embodiment 1 plant transient expression vector

[0049] In order to provide high-efficiency expression of foreign aid proteins in plants, the present invention optimizes the codons of human insulin (GenBank Accession number: AH002844.2) to plant-preferred codons, provided by GeneArt TM GeneOptimizer TM (ThermoFisher) and synthesized by GenScript. The Xbal restriction site was added to the 5' end of the optimized insulin sequence, and the Sacl site was added to the 3' end, and cloned into the pUC57 vector by GenScript. The human insulin gene fragment was isolated from pUC57-INS by Kpnl / Sacl, and cloned into the binary plant vector pCam35S to generate the transient expression vector p35S-INS respectively. The plant expression constructs were respectively transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 by electroporation with a Multiporator (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). The resulting bacterial strains were evenly spread on selective LB plates con...

Embodiment 2

[0051] Example 2 Agrobacterium-mediated vacuum infiltration

[0052] The present invention optimizes the method of Agrobacterium vacuum infiltration ( figure 2 ). The prepared Agrobacterium culture suspension was placed in a 2L beaker and placed in a desiccator. The lettuce kept in this laboratory was turned upside down (core up) and gently swirled in the bacterial suspension, and the desiccator was sealed. The vacuum pump (Welch Vacuum, Niles, IL, USA) was turned on to evacuate and the permeate was seen in the leaf tissue. Maintain the pressure state for 30-60 seconds. The system is quickly opened to release the pressure and allow permeate to seep into the spaces within the tissue. This process was repeated 2 to 3 times until it was clearly visible that the permeate diffused significantly in the lettuce tissue. The lettuce tissue was then gently removed from the permeate and rinsed three times consecutively with distilled water before being transferred to a container co...

Embodiment 3

[0054] Example 3 Protein Extraction and Separation

[0055] Lettuce samples vacuum-infiltrated with Agrobacterium were stirred with a stirrer and extracted with extraction buffer (100 mM KPi, pH 7.8; 5 mM EDTA; 10 mM at a ratio of 1:1 by volume). -Mercaptoethanol) high-speed homogenization in a blender for 1 to 2 minutes. The homogenate was adjusted to pH 8.0, filtered through gauze, and the filtrate was centrifuged at 10,000 g for 15 min at 4°C to remove cell debris. The supernatant was collected, mixed with ammonium sulfate (50%), and incubated with shaking on ice for 60 minutes. Centrifuge again (10,000 g) for 15 min at 4°C. The obtained supernatant was subjected to a second round of ammonium sulfate (70%) precipitation, shaken and suspended on ice for 60 min, and centrifuged again at 10,000 g for 15 min at 4°C. Then, the supernatant was discarded, and the protein precipitated from the treated samples was dissolved in 5 mL of buffer (20 mM KPi, pH 7.8; 2 mM EDTA; 10 mM β...

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to an application of a plant as a host for expression of insulin. The application utilizes a recombinant vector and an agrobacterium-mediated vacuum infiltration method to express insulin. An expression system determines that the plant foreign protein can be collected after 4 days of agrobacterium infection. Successful expression of recombinant insulin is determined by an SDS-PAGE method and a Western blotting method. Cell proliferation experiments demonstrate that insulin produced by lettuce has biological activity. The present invention provides a low cost, convenient, and mass production method for the active recombinant insulin.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to the application of plants as hosts in expressing insulin. Background technique [0002] Human insulin (insulin) is a hormone secreted by the pancreas, which can degrade carbohydrates in food into glucose for energy, or store glucose for future use. Insulin helps keep blood sugar levels in the body from getting too high (hyperglycemia) or too low (hypoglycemia). Cells in the body need sugar to function. However, sugar cannot enter most cells in the body directly. When blood sugar levels rise in the body after eating food, cells in the pancreas (called beta cells) signal to release insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin then attaches and signals to draw sugar from the blood for use by the cells. Insulin helps store sugar in the liver if there is too much sugar in the body and releases sugar when blood sugar levels in the body are low. Thus, insulin helps to balance blood sugar leve...
