Description

[0002] Collagen is a biological macromolecular fibrin, which is one of the most abundant and widely distributed functional proteins in the extracellular matrix, accounting for about 1 / 3 of the total protein. In the composition of human skin proteins, collagen plays an important role. It can form a structural scaffold for tissues or wound healing, promote cell adhesion and chemotaxis, contribute to tissue repair, and provide strength and support for the skin. At present, at least 49 different collagen polypeptide chains have been discovered, and only 28 types of collagen can be artificially synthesized.

[0003] Human type XVII (encoded by the COL17A1 gene) collagen is a transmembrane non-fibroblast collagen, which is a homogeneous trimer composed of three identical α1 (type XVII) chains, and is divided into three major domains: intracellular, transmembrane, and extracellular. The COL17A1 protein is a component of hemidesmosomes in cells and plays an important role in the epithelial cell-basement membrane interaction. It can regulate the adhesion, separation, development and differentiation of epithelial cells, and has an important role in the differentiation and regeneration of hair follicle cells.

[0045] Clone the nucleic acid molecule encoding the humanized recombinant type XVII collagen into an expression vector to construct a recombinant expression vector;

[0046] Transfer the recombinant expression vector into a host bacterium for culture to obtain a recombinant strain;

[0047] Perform recombinant expression of the recombinant strain, separate and purify the recombinant protein to obtain the humanized recombinant type XVII collagen.

[0048] In the present invention, the nucleic acid molecule encoding the humanized recombinant type XVII collagen is cloned into an expression vector to construct a recombinant expression vector.

[0049] In the present invention, for the method of constructing the recombinant expression vector, preferably, the nucleic acid molecule encoding humanized recombinant type XVII collagen with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ restriction sites and pSUMO3 are respectively digested with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ to obtain the digested nucleic acid molecule and the linear pSUMO3 vector;

[0050] The digested nucleic acid molecule and the linear pSUMO3 vector are ligated to obtain the recombinant expression vector.

[0051] In the present invention, the nucleic acid molecule encoding humanized recombinant type XVII collagen with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ restriction sites preferably includes those obtained by artificial synthesis or PCR amplification using specific primers with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ restriction sites. The specific primer pairs for amplifying JY001 with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ restriction sites are P1 (SEQ ID NO:9, GATCAAGGCCCACCAGGTC) and P2 (GGACCAGGAATAACCCAGCG, SEQ ID NO:10). The specific primer pairs for amplifying JY002 with BamHⅠ and XhoⅠ restriction sites are P3 (TCCGGGTCCGTCTGGTG, SEQ ID NO:11) and P4 (CATGGAGGAACCCTCAGAAGTA, SEQ ID NO:12).

[0052] After obtaining the recombinant expression vector, in the present invention, the recombinant expression vector is transferred into a host bacterium to obtain a recombinant strain.

[0053] The present invention has no special limitation on the method of transferring into the host bacterium, and the well-known transformation methods in the art can be used, such as heat shock method. The preferred culture conditions are culturing in LB medium and / or 2×YT medium at 36 - 38°C. The end point of the culture is when the OD of the bacterial solution 600 is 0.6 - 0.8.

[0054] After obtaining the recombinant strain, in the present invention, the recombinant strain is used for recombinant expression of the protein, and the recombinant protein is separated and purified to obtain humanized recombinant type XVII collagen.

[0055] In the present invention, the conditions for the recombinant expression of the protein are preferably culturing in 2×YT medium and inducing culture at 36 - 38°C. The preferred induction culture time is 24 - 72 h, which can be 36 - 48 h; the working concentration of IPTG during the induction culture is 0.4 - 0.6 M, which can be 0.5 M.

[0056] In the present invention, the method for separating recombinant protein includes collecting bacterial cells, resuspending them, disrupting the bacterial cells by a low-temperature high-pressure method, centrifuging, and collecting the supernatant to obtain the recombinant protein. The method for purifying the recombinant protein is preferably nickel ion affinity chromatography and ion exchange chromatography. In the nickel ion affinity chromatography process, the nickel ions chelated and immobilized on the packing material can form a coordination interaction with the imidazole groups on the histidine on the protein surface. Therefore, the recombinant protein carrying the His tag can bind to the nickel ion affinity chromatography column and can be competitively eluted by a high-concentration imidazole solution to achieve the purification purpose. After the nickel ion affinity chromatography, it is preferably further included to digest and remove the SUMO tag with SENP2 protease for reverse nickel ion affinity chromatography column. The purity of the purified recombinant protein is detected by SDS-PAGE. The results show that two single bands with the expected molecular weight sizes are formed in the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis pattern. This indicates that the present invention successfully recombinantly expresses and obtains recombinant humanized collagen XVII

[0057] In the present invention, the nucleic acid molecule encoding recombinant humanized collagen XVII is inserted into the pSUMO3 expression vector, transformed into Escherichia coli strains, and stable recombinant humanized collagen XVII is successfully expressed, and the yield of recombinant humanized collagen XVII is increased. The inventors of the present invention found that the structure of humanized collagen XVII is very complex. The structural feature of humanized collagen XVII is a triple helix structure formed by 3 peptide chains, that is, 3 α peptide chains form a protein in a right-handed superhelix manner. Such a triple helix region is called a collagen region. Each α peptide chain is composed of repeatedly occurring Gly-X-Y (X and Y represent any amino acid residues other than Gly, X is often Pro, and Y is often Hyp) peptide segments in the molecular structure to form a left-handed helix. Under the interaction of amino acid residues of the 3 chains, a stable triple helix structure is formed in a right-handed superhelix manner with the same axis as the center. Therefore, it is difficult for the sequence of humanized collagen XVII to spontaneously bind to form a stable triple helix structure to exert biological functions. The present invention selects to use the Escherichia coli system and adopts specific optimized sequence fragments for combined optimization, and successfully expresses stable humanized collagen XVII, and the process is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0058] In the present invention, in order to verify the biological activity of the prepared recombinant humanized collagen XVII, fibroblast migration tests and hair growth promotion tests are respectively carried out. The results of the fibroblast migration test show that JY001 and JY002 have the activity of promoting fibroblast migration relative to the human serum albumin control, and the migration rate is 72% - 78.01%. The hair growth promotion test shows that JY001 and JY002 can promote the resting follicles of mice to enter the growth phase in advance and have the activity of promoting hair growth.

[0059] Based on the characteristics that the humanized recombinant type XVII collagen has the properties of promoting cell migration and promoting hair growth, the present invention provides the application of the humanized recombinant type XVII collagen or the humanized recombinant type XVII collagen prepared by the nucleic acid molecule, the gene-derived product or the preparation method in the preparation of a product for promoting cell migration and / or hair growth.

[0060] In the present invention, the product preferably includes medical supplies and / or daily necessities related to skin repair or anti-aging skin care of the face and head. The medical supplies preferably include tissue engineering products, medical devices and drugs. The medical device is a wound dressing product. The daily necessities preferably include cosmetics and / or washing and care products. The cosmetics are cream, essence water and lotion. The washing and care products preferably include facial masks, scalp essence and shampoo.

[0061] The following is a detailed description of a humanized recombinant type XVII collagen and its preparation method and application provided by the present invention in conjunction with examples, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] A preparation method of recombinant XVII humanized collagen, comprising the following steps:

[0064] S1: The DNA sequences of XVII humanized collagen (JY001: SEQ ID NO:1, JY002: SEQ ID NO:2) were respectively amplified by PCR using primers with restriction sites (SEQ ID NO:9 - SEQ ID NO:12). The amplified products were respectively inserted into the pSUMO3 expression vector to construct the expression vectors of recombinant XVII humanized collagen. The specific steps were as follows: Using a plasmid extraction kit, extract the pSUMO3 empty plasmid according to the instructions; perform double digestion on the target gene and the pSUMO3 empty plasmid using QuickCutBamHⅠ and QuickCutXhoⅠ. The digestion system (100 μL) was: 10 μL each of QuickCutNotⅠ, QuickCutXbaⅠ, and 10×QuickCut Green Buffer, 70 μL of the pSUMO3 empty plasmid or the target gene; digest in a 37°C metal bath for 3 h; after digestion, perform electrophoresis on a 1.0% agarose gel, and respectively cut and recover the digested empty plasmid and the target gene fragment; ligate the recovered products through T4 DNALigase. The ligation system (10 μL) was: 5 μL of the target gene, 3 μL of the vector fragment, 1 μL each of T4 DNAligase and 10×Ligase buffer; transform the recombinant plasmid into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) competent cells, pick positive transformants for culture after resistance screening, and send for sequencing after PCR identification; if the sequencing is correct, the new expression vectors pSUMO3 - JY001 (see Figure 1 ) and pSUMO3 - JY002 (see Figure 2 ) are obtained.

[0065] S2: Transfer the successfully constructed expression vector into Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) to construct the expression strain of recombinant XVII humanized collagen. The specific steps include the following steps:

[0066] M1: Add the successfully constructed expression plasmid into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) competent cells and let it stand on ice for 30 min;

[0067] M2: Heat - shock the mixture in a 42°C water bath for 90 s, and then quickly place it on ice and let it stand for 3 - 4 min;

[0068] M3: Add 1 ml of LB without Amp to the mixture and culture it under shaking conditions at 37°C and 220 rpm for 1 h;

[0069] M4: Take 100 μl of the bacterial solution and evenly coat it on an LB plate containing 100 μg / ml concentration of Amp. Invert the coated plate and incubate it at 37°C until clear visible colonies grow.

[0070] S3: Cultivate the expression strain and isolate and purify recombinant humanized collagen XVII. The specific steps are as follows:

[0071] 1. Small-scale shaking culture for amplification: Pick a monoclonal colony after transformation into BL21(DE3) and transfer it to 100 mL of LB medium containing 100 μg / ml Amp. Culture it at 37 °C and 220 rpm for 12 h.

[0072] 2. Large-scale shaking culture for amplification: Add the small-scale cultured bacterial liquid to 1 L of 2YT medium containing 100 μg / ml Amp at a ratio of 1:100. Culture it at 37 °C and 220 rpm. After about 2.5 h, take 1 mL of the bacterial liquid in a laminar flow hood and detect the concentration of the bacterial liquid with NanoDrop 2000C. When OD 600 = 0.6 - 0.8, transfer the bacterial liquid to the induction temperature and culture it at 220 rpm.

[0073] 3. Induced expression: After 30 min, add 1 mL of 0.5 M IPTG to the medium to a final concentration of 0.5 mM, and continue to culture for 12 h to obtain the bacteria containing the recombinant expressed protein.

[0074] 4. Purification method: When constructing the pSUMO3-Protein plasmid, an 8×His tag and a SUMO peptide segment were fused to the N-terminus of the protein. The 8×His tag can be used for affinity chromatography, and the SUMO peptide segment can increase the expression level and solubility of the protein. After the fusion protein is treated with sentrin specific protease 2 (SENP2), the SUMO peptide segment is cleaved off, and only a serine residue (Ser) remains at the N-terminus of the target protein, reducing the impact on subsequent experiments and facilitating protein purification. The specific purification process is as follows:

[0075] 1) Bacterial liquid treatment:

[0076] a. Harvest bacteria: Centrifuge the bacterial liquid at 4500 rpm for 20 min, discard the supernatant, and collect the precipitate.

[0077] b. Resuspend bacteria: Resuspend the bacterial precipitate with Buffer A (0 - 30 mM imidazole).

[0078] c. Lyse bacteria: Use a low-temperature high-pressure cell disruptor to lyse the cells. After the disruption is completed, centrifuge the disrupted liquid at 4 °C and 15000 rpm for 1 h, and collect the supernatant for subsequent purification experiments.

[0079] 2) Nickel ion affinity chromatography

[0080] The nickel ions chelated and immobilized on the packing material of the nickel ion affinity chromatography column can form coordination interactions with the imidazole groups on the histidine on the protein surface. Therefore, the recombinant protein carrying the 8×His tag can bind to the nickel ion affinity chromatography column and can be competitively eluted by a high-concentration imidazole solution to achieve the purpose of purification.

[0081] (1) Nickel ion affinity chromatography: After equilibrating the nickel ion affinity chromatography column with 50 mL of Buffer A (the column volume is 5 mL), the supernatant after centrifugation of the lysate was loaded at a flow rate of 3 mL / min; then rinsed with 200 mL of Buffer A to wash away unbound or weakly bound miscellaneous proteins, and then eluted with 4 - 5 column volumes of Buffer B to elute the target protein. Take samples of each fraction and detect the protein purity by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining, collect the fractions containing the target protein, and add SENP2 protease to it, with the mass ratio of the target protein to SENP2 being 500:1, and digest overnight. At the same time, dialyze the protein solution into Buffer A for the next purification step.

[0082] (2) Reverse nickel ion affinity chromatography: Centrifuge the protein solution after digestion and dialysis at 4°C and 4000 rpm for 20 min, take the supernatant and flow it through the nickel ion affinity chromatography column equilibrated with Buffer A again, with a flow rate not exceeding 2 mL / min. The rinsing and elution volumes are the same as those in the first affinity chromatography. Take samples of each fraction and detect the protein purity by SDS-PAGE, and collect the flow-through fraction and dialyze it into 0.5×PBS.

[0083] 3) Ion exchange chromatography

[0084] For the first cation exchange chromatography, load the protein solution collected in the previous step onto a 1 mL cation exchange chromatography column that has been equilibrated with 0.5×PBS. On an AKTA purifier, perform a linear gradient elution with 0.5×PBS and 4×PBS, collect the elution fractions at 5 mL / tube, detect the purity of the elution fractions by SDS-PAGE, and combine the collection tubes containing the target protein. The results are shown in Figure 3 .

[0085] Example 2

[0086] Cell migration promotion assay

[0087] 1. Test principle

[0088] When the cells grow to a confluent monolayer state, an artificial blank area is created on the confluent monolayer cells, called a "scratch". The cells at the scratch edge will gradually enter the blank area to heal the "scratch". During the cell migration process, images are captured at the beginning and regularly, and the cell migration rate is determined by comparing the images.

[0089] 2. Test steps

[0090] 2.1 First, use a marker pen to draw horizontal lines evenly on the back of the 6-well plate with the help of a ruler. Draw a line every 0.5 cm, crossing the wells horizontally.

[0091] 2.2 Add 2 mL of 3T3 cell suspension with a concentration of 5×10 5 cells / mL to the wells of the 6-well plate.

[0092] 2.3 On the next day, when it is observed that the cells in the 6-well plate have all grown into a single layer, use a pipette tip against the ruler to make scratches perpendicular to the horizontal lines on the back, making 2 scratches in each well.

[0093] 2.4 Wash the cells 3 times with PBS to wash away the detached suspended cells.
