Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine technology, and specifically relates to a preparation method, product and application of amelogenin expressed in the form of inclusion bodies. Background Art

[0002] Protein purification technology is an important technology in the field of biological research. The study of protein function is inseparable from the separation and purification of proteins. Protein purification mainly uses the similarities and differences between different proteins to remove non-protein substances and separate the target protein. At present, the more mature chromatography technologies for protein purification include affinity purification technology, ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. In the industrial production of proteins, although these technologies are widely applicable, they often face defects such as long R&D cycle, complex procedures, high manpower and material costs, etc., which require a lot of money, manpower and time, resulting in a substantial increase in costs.

[0003] Enamel matrix proteins are a series of extracellular matrix proteins synthesized and secreted by ameloblasts differentiated from the inner enamel epithelium when the tooth develops to the bell stage. Since 1975, when it was first proposed that enamel-related proteins from the root sheath of Hertwig's epithelium could induce the formation of acellular cementum in the tooth root, in vitro experiments and clinical treatments have widely confirmed that enamel matrix proteins can effectively promote the regeneration of periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone, forming an arrangement similar to normal periodontal tissue, and achieving true periodontal regeneration. Amelogenin (Am) is the most important component of enamel matrix proteins in development and is also the main active component of enamel matrix proteins that promotes periodontal regeneration. However, the composition of Am is not single, there are at least 9 components, with a molecular weight range of 5 to 27 kDa. Compared with general recombinant proteins, recombinant amelogenin has a more stable spatial structure and physical properties.

[0004] CN101565463A discloses a recombinant human amelogenin and a preparation method thereof. The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a recombinant human amelogenin is prepared by the following methods: a. cloning the human amelogenin mature peptide gene hAm encoded by the X chromosome; b. constructing a recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid PGEX4T1-hAm containing the above gene; c. transforming the recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid PGEX4T1-hAm obtained in step b into an expression Escherichia coli strain; d. inducing the cloned expression strain obtained in step c to express the fusion protein GST-hAm; e. purifying the fusion protein by GST affinity chromatography. The invention cloned the coding sequence of the mature peptide of human amelogenin from human deciduous tooth germ tissue for the first time, and successfully expressed the fusion protein in Escherichia coli by the prokaryotic expression plasmid. The artificially synthesized recombinant human amelogenin can be obtained by GST affinity chromatography purification, but it is necessary to further remove the GST protein tag by enzyme cutting and purification steps.

[0005] CN103014050A discloses a recombinant porcine amelogenin, which is encoded by a full-length porcine amelogenin gene, and the preparation method is as follows: synthesizing the full-length porcine amelogenin gene; constructing a recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid PGEX4T1-pAm containing the above gene; transforming the obtained recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid PGEX4T1-pAm into an Escherichia coli strain; inducing the obtained recombinant strain to express the fusion protein GST-pAm; removing the GST tag protein of the obtained fusion protein GST-pAm, and obtaining the recombinant porcine amelogenin pAm. The coding sequence of the full-length porcine amelogenin was synthesized for the first time, and the fusion protein was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli through a prokaryotic expression plasmid. The cloned expression strain obtained by this invention can be preserved for a long time and replicated in large quantities at any time. It can conveniently and quickly synthesize a large amount of recombinant porcine amelogenin artificially, and also provides the possibility for mass production and commercialization of amelogenin in the future. However, this scheme is similar to the amelogenin purification scheme disclosed in CN101565463A. Both require enzymatic cleavage and purification steps to remove the GST protein tag and expose the amelogenin to realize the complete biological function.

[0006] At present, the purification of amelogenin faces problems such as long R&D cycle, complex procedures, and high manpower and material costs. Therefore, it is very meaningful to utilize the characteristics of amelogenin to develop a simple and efficient amelogenin purification method. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing amelogenin expressed in the form of inclusion bodies, as well as a product and application thereof.

[0132] Test Example 1

[0133] The purity of the amelogenin expressed in the form of inclusion bodies obtained in each of Examples 1-10 or Comparative Examples 1-4 was evaluated. The amelogenin expressed in the form of inclusion bodies obtained in step (3) of each of the Examples and Comparative Examples was taken and protein separation was performed using SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The protein gel was then scanned using a grayscale scanning method. The proportion of amelogenin in the entire lane was the purity of the amelogenin. Figure 2 This is the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis protein gel image of amelogenin obtained in Example 1, which includes two lanes. The left side is the sample lane of Example 1, and the right side is the protein Maker lane. The order of the Maker lane from top to bottom is 150kDa, 100kDa, 70kDa, 50kDa, 40kDa, 35kDa, 25kDa, 20kDa, and 15kDa.

[0134] Table 1

[0135] Group Protein purity (%) Example 1 92.32 Example 2 90.46 Example 3 87.92 Example 4 70.35 Example 5 72.52 Example 6 67.45 Example 7 80.35 Example 8 76.58 Example 9 74.87 Example 10 72.59 Comparative Example 1 4.65 Comparative Example 2 57.85 Comparative Example 3 59.54 Comparative Example 4 62.56

[0136] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the urea concentration of the dissolving solution used in Example 4 when purifying amelogenin exceeds 6M, and the purity of its amelogenin is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that too high a urea concentration will cause the purified product to contain more impurities; the dissolving solutions of Example 6 and Comparative Example 1 do not contain TritonX-100 and urea, respectively, and the purity of its amelogenin is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that TritonX-100 and urea can synergistically enhance the effect, fully dissolving amelogenin while ensuring the purity of amelogenin. The refolding agent of Example 9 does not contain L-cysteine, and the refolding agent of Example 10 does not contain NaCl, glycerol, and EDTA-2Na, and the purity of its amelogenin is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that L-cysteine ​​can cooperate with NaCl, glycerol, and EDTA-2Na to have a synergistic effect in improving the purity of the purified amelogenin product. Compared with Example 1, the initial urea concentration of Example 5 is 1 M, which is lower than 2 M of Example 1, and the protein purity is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that when the initial urea concentration is 2 M, it is beneficial to improve the purity of amelogenin. Comparative Examples 2-4 use a single concentration of urea dissolving solution, and do not perform concentration gradient dissolution. The protein purity is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the purity of amelogenin prepared by the present invention using a dissolving solution with a urea concentration gradient is higher.

[0137] Test Example 2

[0138] The anti-inflammatory effect of the amelogenin expressed in the form of inclusion bodies obtained in the examples and comparative examples was evaluated by the following specific method:

[0139] (1) Select zebrafish that are 3 days after fertilization and have normal development, and randomly distribute them into 96-well plates, 5 per well, and 3 replicates per group. Divide into blank control group, inflammatory model group, experimental group and positive control group. Add 200 μL of zebrafish culture water (5mM NaCl, 0.17mM KCl, 0.33mM CaCl2, 0.33mM MgSO4·7H2O) to each well of the blank control group and the inflammatory model group, add 200 μL of 0.03g / L dexamethasone solution to each well of the positive control group, and add 200uL of 0.03g / L test solution prepared in each embodiment and comparative example to each well of the remaining groups, cover the culture plate panel, and incubate in a 28.5℃ biochemical incubator for 60min. Both the test substance and the positive control are prepared with zebrafish culture water.

[0140] (2) Remove the solution in the 96-well plate, add 200 μL of zebrafish culture water to the blank control group, add 200 μL of 20 μM copper sulfate solution to the inflammation model group, add 200 μL of a mixed solution of copper sulfate and dexamethasone to the positive control group, add 200 μL of a mixed solution of copper sulfate and the test substance solution to the experimental group, cover the culture panel, and incubate in a 28.5°C biochemical incubator for 15 minutes. The copper sulfate concentration in the above mixed solution is 20 μM, the test substance and dexamethasone concentrations are both 0.03 g / L, and the solvent is zebrafish culture water.

[0141] (3) After incubation, zebrafish in each group were anesthetized with 0.0002 g / mL tricaine, placed on a glass slide, fixed in a lateral position, and observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope.

[0142] (4) After taking the photos, the image processing software Image Pro Plus was used to count the number of neutrophils in each group of zebrafish that migrated to the lateral line and calculate the inflammatory cell inhibition rate.

[0143] The use of copper sulfate to specifically damage the neuromasts near the midline of zebrafish caused neutrophils to migrate out of the blood vessels and gather in the neuromasts. The number of neutrophils near the midline can be quantitatively observed ( Figure 3 ), calculate the inflammatory cell inhibition rate, inflammatory cell inhibition rate (%) = (the number of neutrophil migration in the inflammatory model group - the number of neutrophil migration in each experimental group) / the number of neutrophil migration in the inflammatory model group × 100%.

[0146] From the data in Table 2, it can be seen that the urea concentration of the dissolving solution used in Example 4 when purifying amelogenin exceeds 6M, and its inflammatory cell inhibition rate is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that too high urea will cause the purified product to contain more impurities, thereby affecting the anti-inflammatory activity of the amelogenin product;

[0147] The dissolving solutions of Example 6 and Comparative Example 1 do not contain TritonX-100 and urea respectively, and their inflammatory cell inhibition rates are lower than that of Example 1, indicating that TritonX-100 and urea can synergistically enhance the effect, which can not only improve the purity of amelogenin but also improve the anti-inflammatory activity of amelogenin.

[0148] The dissolving solutions of Examples 7 and 8 respectively contain one of β-mercaptoethanol and EDTA-2Na, and the inflammatory cell inhibition rates of both are lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the combined effect of β-mercaptoethanol and EDTA-2Na can effectively ensure the activity of amelogenin during the dissolution process, so that the prepared amelogenin product has stronger anti-inflammatory activity.

[0149] The refolding agent of Example 9 does not contain L-cysteine, and the refolding agent of Example 10 does not contain NaCl, glycerol, or EDTA-2Na. The inflammatory cell inhibition rates are both lower than those of Example 1, indicating that L-cysteine ​​can synergistically enhance the effect with NaCl, glycerol, and EDTA-2Na, and the obtained amelogenin product has stronger anti-inflammatory activity.

[0150] Compared with Example 1, the initial urea concentration of the dissolving solution of Example 5 is 1 M, and the inflammatory cell inhibition rate is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that when the initial urea concentration is 2 M, it is beneficial to enhance the activity of amelogenin.

[0151] Comparative Examples 2-4 respectively used a single concentration of urea solution and did not perform concentration gradient dissolution. Their inflammatory cell inhibition rates were lower than those of Example 1, indicating that the amelogenin prepared by the present invention using a urea concentration gradient solution has higher purity and activity.

[0152] Test Example 3

[0153] The repair effect of the amelogenin expressed in the form of inclusion bodies obtained in the examples and comparative examples was evaluated by the following specific method:

[0154] (1) Wild zebrafish that were 3 days post-fertilization and normally developed were randomly selected and anesthetized with 0.0002 g / mL tricaine. The tail fin was cut off and placed in a 28.5°C biochemical incubator for 2 h. Photos were taken under a stereomicroscope and then the zebrafish were transferred to a 96-well plate, with one zebrafish per well and 8 wells per group. The zebrafish were divided into an experimental group, a blank control group, and a positive control group.

[0155] 200 μL of the test substance was added to each well. The experimental groups were added with the amelogenin products prepared in the embodiments and comparative examples, the amelogenin product was a 0.006 g / L amelogenin solution prepared with zebrafish culture water (5 mM NaCl, 0.17 mM KCl, 0.33 mM CaCl2, 0.33 mM MgSO4·7H2O), the blank control group was added with zebrafish culture water; the positive control group was added with 0.006 g / L Rehmannia glutinosa solution (zebrafish culture water was used as solvent).

[0156] (2) Place in a 28.5°C biochemical incubator and incubate for 72 h. Take photos and record under a stereomicroscope. Figure 4 ), and the image analysis software Image J was used to count the area of ​​the zebrafish tail fin growth.

[0157] (3) The repair effect of the product was calculated by calculating the regenerated area of ​​the tail fin of the positive control group and the experimental group. The zebrafish tail fin repair promotion rate (%) = (the growth area of ​​the tail fin of each experimental group - the growth area of ​​the tail fin of the blank control group) / the growth area of ​​the tail fin of the blank control group × 100%.

[0158] Table 3

[0159]

[0160]

[0161] From the data in Table 3, it can be seen that the urea concentration of the dissolving solution used in Example 4 when purifying amelogenin exceeds 6M, and its zebrafish tail repair promotion rate is lower than that of Example 1, indicating that too high urea will cause the purified product to contain more impurities, thereby affecting the repair activity of the amelogenin product;

[0162] The dissolving solutions of Example 6 and Comparative Example 1 do not contain Triton X-100 and urea respectively, and their zebrafish tail repair promotion rates are lower than that of Example 1, indicating that Triton X-100 and urea can synergistically enhance the effectiveness, which can not only improve the purity of amelogenin but also improve the repair activity of amelogenin.

[0163] The dissolving solutions of Examples 7 and 8 respectively contain one of β-mercaptoethanol and EDTA-2Na, and the zebrafish tail repair promotion rates of both are lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the combined effect of β-mercaptoethanol and EDTA-2Na can effectively ensure the activity of amelogenin during the dissolution process, so that the obtained amelogenin product has stronger repair activity.

[0164] The refolding agent of Example 9 does not contain L-cysteine, and the refolding agent of Example 10 does not contain NaCl, glycerol, or EDTA-2Na. The zebrafish tail repair promotion rates are both lower than those of Example 1, indicating that L-cysteine ​​can synergistically enhance the effect with NaCl, glycerol, and EDTA-2Na, and the obtained amelogenin product has stronger repair activity.

[0165] Compared with Example 1, the initial urea concentration of the dissolving solution in Example 5 is 1 M, and the repair promotion rate of amelogenin is lower than that in Example 1, indicating that when the initial urea concentration is 2 M, it is beneficial to enhance the anti-inflammatory activity and repair activity of amelogenin.

[0166] Comparative Examples 2-4 respectively used a single concentration of urea solution and did not perform concentration gradient dissolution. Their amelogenin repair promotion rates were all lower than that of Example 1, indicating that the amelogenin repair activity obtained by purifying protein using a urea concentration gradient solution of the present invention is higher.
