Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application titled "Recombinant Humanized Collagen and Its Preparation Method and Application" with the application number 202310638280.8 and filed with the Chinese Patent Office on May 31, 2023. The entire content thereof is incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of genetic engineering technology, and particularly to recombinant humanized collagen and its preparation method and application. Background Art
[0003] Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, accounting for 25% - 30% of the total protein. As the most abundant protein in the extracellular matrix, collagen maintains the integrity of cell structure and various physiological functions. Collagen is the main structural component of all connective tissues and is also present in the interstitial tissues of almost all parenchymal organs. In the past decade, people's understanding of collagen has been continuously increasing, and the members of the collagen family have also increased rapidly. Through research, it has been found that more than 20 different types of collagen have been discovered in the human body, which can be roughly divided into the following categories: fibril-forming collagen, basement membrane collagen, microfibril collagen, anchoring fibril, transmembrane region collagen, and incompletely characterized collagen. Type III collagen is a fibrillar collagen that is widely present in the skin and blood vessels of newborns. It can strengthen the strength and elasticity of microvessels, provide sufficient nutrients for cells, and maintain the fullness, smoothness, and luster of the skin. It is also known as baby protein. However, some studies have found that it has other functions. In tissues, the diameter of type III collagen fibers is smaller than that of type I collagen. When type I and type III collagens appear in the same collagen fiber, type III collagen is responsible for regulating the fibril diameter. Type III collagen is also present in adult cartilage. Some studies believe that during tissue healing, type III collagen acts as a modifier of the fiber network composed of type II collagen and other small collagens. In addition, type III collagen is the main structural component of hollow organs such as large blood vessels, uterus, and intestines. As an extracellular matrix protein, it maintains the shape and structure of the skin and tissues and organs. Type III collagen also interacts with platelets in the coagulation cascade reaction and is also an important signaling molecule for wound healing.
[0004] Currently, international research only focuses on the Gly-Xaa-Yaa recombinant region of type III collagen, or a segment of the amino acid sequence of type III collagen, or the a1 synthesis method of type III collagen, without developing the sequence of the specific functional region of type III collagen. The 411-518 sequence of the a1 chain in type III collagen is the active triple helix active site in COL3A1, which plays an important role in cell adhesion and ligand recombination. This sequence also contains the Glu-Lys-Gly and Glu-Arg-Gly triplets, enhancing the cell adhesion in this region. Moreover, the recombinant protein containing multiple tandem repeats of the triple helix fragment makes it have a more stable helical conformation or a more favorable ligand binding configuration, making the triple helix region highly flexible, which is conducive to ligand binding, cell membrane attachment and adhesion, or other biological activities. By constructing a human prolyl hydroxylase and co-expressing it with the specific functional region of type III collagen, humanized collagen was successfully synthesized and formed a correct triple helix structure, which can fill the gap in the international field where peptide segments cannot form a correct helix structure.

The digested and linearized plasmid is purified using the Wizard SV Gel and PCR Clean-Up System cleaning kit according to the operation instructions. Keep a small amount for agarose gel electrophoresis identification, and store the rest at -20°C for standby.

[0157] Example 3 Detection of Target Protein
[0158] 3.1 Detection of Hydroxyproline Content
[0159] Hydroxyproline is a specific amino acid contained in collagen, and its content is relatively stable. The sample is hydrolyzed into hydroxyproline under the action of 105°C and c(HCI)=6 mol / L hydrochloric acid. After hydroxyproline is oxidized by chloramine T, it reacts with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to form a red compound, and colorimetric determination is carried out at a wavelength of 560 nm.

[0165] D. Chloramine T solution: Weigh 3.5 g of chloramine T and dilute to 50 mL with water. Prepare it freshly before use
[0166] E. Oxidant solution: Mix the chloramine T solution and the pH = 6.0 buffer solution in a ratio of 1:4
[0167] F. 60% Perchloric acid solution: Measure 43 mL of perchloric acid and dilute to 50 mL with water
[0168] G. p-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde solution: Weigh 10 g of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde and dissolve it in 15 mL of 60% perchloric acid solution
[0169] H. Color reagent: Measure 15 mL of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde solution and dissolve it in 65 mL of isopropanol
[0170] I. Sodium hydroxide solution, c(NaOH) = 6 mol / L: Weigh 24 g of sodium hydroxide and dilute to 100 mL with water
[0171] Precisely measure 0.5 mL of blank (water), the L-hydroxyproline reference standard series solutions, and the test solution, add 1 mL of isopropanol and the oxidant solution respectively, mix and let stand at room temperature for 4 min; then add 6.5 mL of the color reagent respectively, mix, place each tube in a 60 °C water bath and heat for 15 min, and then cool. Using the blank as a control, measure the absorbance value at 560 nm. Make a linear regression of the absorbance against the concentration series of the L-hydroxyproline reference standard solution to obtain the linear regression equation ( Figure 9 ), and calculate the content of L-hydroxyproline in the test solution (Table 3). After calculation, the content of the target protein synthesized by this method is between 5% and 15%.

[0177] The results showed ( Figure 6 ) that the humanized collagen synthesized in the present invention conformed to the characteristics of the triple helix structure.
[0178] 3.3. Detection of biological activity
[0179] After culturing the synthesized target protein in fibroblasts for 14 - 20 days, Calcein-AM staining was performed, and the steps were as follows:
[0180] 3.3.1 (Fibroblasts) culture, amplification and cryopreservation:
[0181] Culture system: RPMI1640 supplemented with 5% - 10% FBS, at 37°C, 5% CO2, pH 6.5. Cultured in culture flasks, the medium was renewed every 2 - 4 days. After cell confluence, subculture was performed, and the cells were passaged to P2 and cryopreserved for subsequent detection.

[0184] Test method: 6 experimental wells were set for each time point in a single group for testing. At the preset test time point, the medium in the wells was gently removed, washed twice with PBS, and then 0.1% - 0.3% concentration of Calcein-AM solution prepared with 1x buffer was added. Incubated at 4°C in the dark for 30 minutes, washed twice with PBS, and then the viable cells stained with green fluorescence were observed under 490 nm excitation light.
[0185] The results showed ( Figure 7 ) that the target protein synthesized in the present invention could stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts.
[0186] In addition, the amino acid sequences with n = 1 and n = 30 in SEQ.ID NO.1 were also expressed by the same method as in the present invention. Since the selected expression system, test method and test steps were the same as those with n = 2 in the examples, they were not described in detail. The tests showed that within the range of n from 1 to 30, especially for the target proteins with n = 1 and n = 30, the physiological activities were similar to that of the target protein with n = 2.

It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
