Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular to a method for preparing recombinant humanized collagen with triple helical structure expressed by yeast. Background Art
[0002] Collagen is the main component of the extracellular matrix and the most abundant and widely distributed protein in animals. It has a unique tissue structure and biological function, and plays an important role in maintaining the normal physiological functions and injury repair of cells, tissues, and organs.
[0003] Recombinant humanized collagen is a recombinant protein that modifies or resynthesizes a gene sequence of human collagen and then expresses the new gene sequence through a host protein expression system. Recombinant human collagen has the advantages of collagen antigenicity, biodegradability, and good biocompatibility, and does not have the disadvantages of animal collagen, such as viral risks and immune rejection, so it is widely used in the field of biomaterials.
[0004] There are a lot of literature reports on cases of recombinant expression of humanized collagen and other collagens, such as "Recombinant Microbial Systems for the Production of Human Collagen and Gelatin" published by Julio Báez et al., and "Three Decades of Research on Recombinant Collagens" published by Fertala. Although both involve the construction of recombinant human collagen, they all involve recombinant human collagen single chains. Such recombinant collagen lacks key collagen characteristics, including triple helical conformation, modification of proline and lysine residues, and resistance to enzyme degradation. Another example is "CN114853881B A recombinant human fusion collagen and its efficient hydroxylation method and application". In this patent, recombinant human collagen is co-expressed with the proline hydroxylase gene of Chlorella paramecium virus 1, but non-human P4H has different substrate specificity, and the obtained recombinant collagen may cause immune risks. That is, although a variety of recombinant collagens are disclosed in the prior art, they have the above-mentioned defects and cannot meet the diversified needs of the market, especially the market demand for triple helical recombinant humanized collagens. Therefore, the present invention intends to develop a yeast-expressed recombinant humanized collagen with a triple helical structure to achieve efficient expression of triple helical recombinant humanized collagens and meet the market demand for triple helical recombinant humanized collagens.

[0076] 3. Construction of recombinant engineering strains, induced expression and strain screening
[0077] (1) Construction of engineered strains
[0078] Pichia KM71 was used as the starting strain. Here, KM71 was used as an example. The competent state of Pichia was prepared according to the competent state preparation method described by Lin-Cereghino (Lin-Cereghino et al, 2005). The pMChZ-5D-Cpro obtained above was linearized using SalⅠ to obtain the pMChZ-5D-Cpro linearized plasmid. The pMChZ-5D-Cpro linearized plasmid was electroporated into the competent state of Pichia according to the method of Invitrogen's Pichia Expression Kit USER GUIDE, and then coated on a YPDZ (bleomycin, 300 μg / mL) plate to obtain the strain KM71H / 5D-Cpro-1#-Z. R . Recover the screening marker and obtain strain KM71H / 5D-Cpro-1#-Z S . (Where Z R Indicates bleomycin resistance, Z S Indicates sensitivity to bleomycin; the number before # indicates the number of times the collagen expression plasmid is electroporated).
[0079] pMCnZ-5D-Cpro was linearized with SpeⅠ and then electroporated into KM71H / 5D-Cpro-1#-Z S Get KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-Z R , recovered the screening marker and obtained the strain KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-Z S .
[0080] pPIC9K-P4H(DP)-1 was linearized with SalⅠ and then electroporated into KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-Z S Get KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-Z S -P4H.
[0081] pMCrZ-5D-Cpro was linearized with SpeⅠ and then electroporated into KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-Z S -P4H obtains KM71H / 5D-Cpro-3#-P4H.
[0082] (2) Inducible expression
[0083] The engineered strain obtained above was inoculated into a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 10 mL of BMGY medium and cultured at 28-30°C and 220 rpm until the OD 600 Centrifuge at 1500-3000g for 5 min at room temperature to collect the cells and resuspend them in BMMY medium to a concentration of OD 600 The cell culture medium was placed on a shaker at 28-30°C and 220 rpm for 3 days. 100% methanol was added to the culture medium every 24 hours to a final concentration of 1.0%. After methanol induction, bacterial samples were collected every 24 hours. The sample volume was 1 mL and placed in a 1.5 mL EP tube. The supernatant and bacterial cells were collected separately after centrifugation at 12000 g for 5 minutes at 4°C. 80 μL of the supernatant was taken, 20 μL of the loading buffer was added, and the sample was prepared by heating at 80°C for 5 minutes. 20 μL of the supernatant was taken for SDS-PAGE. Add 200 μL cell wall breaking solution and 40% liquid volume of 0.5 mm glass beads to the cells; vortex for 1 min, place on ice for 1 min, and repeat 6-10 times; centrifuge at 12000g for 30 min at 4°C, take 80 μL of the supernatant, add 20 μL of loading buffer, heat at 99°C for 5 min to prepare the sample, dissolve the precipitate with 8M urea, and prepare the sample according to the supernatant operation steps, take 20 μL for SDS-PAGE, and then perform Western Blot. The test results are as follows Figure 6 As shown, KM71H / 5D-Cpro-1#-Z RAfter 72 hours of induction, the expression was identified using anti-6His antibody as the primary antibody. One strain had the target band in the cell. The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in A. The strain that correctly expressed the target protein was used as the starting strain. The 5D-Cpro expression plasmid with the recombination site was replaced by electroporation twice and the P4H expression plasmid was co-transfected. The target protein was identified with anti-6His antibody and P4HA1 antibody. The expression level of 5D-Cpro in the strain co-transfected with P4H was significantly increased. The four P4H co-expression strains screened out were able to correctly express P4HA and P4HB. The results are shown in Figure 6 As shown in B. Figure 6 C shows the comparison of expression levels at different electroporation times, KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-Z S -P4H had the highest expression level, exceeding KM71H / 5D-Cpro-3#-P4H.
[0084] 4. Identification of target gene copy number
[0085] The strains related to 5D-Cpro were commissioned to Shanghai Sangon Biotech to detect the copy number of the target gene using digital PCR. The PCR instrument was BIO-RAD T100. The copy number of the target gene in the strain obtained by the first electroporation of the target gene was taken as 1, and the ratio of the copy number of the target gene in other strains to that of the strain was plotted, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 7 The target gene copy number of 5D-Cpro related strains was consistent with the expression level detected by WB. The copy number of KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-P4H was about 2.5 times that of the control. After three rounds of electroporation, the expression level decreased and the corresponding copy number was also low. Although the plasmid recombination site was replaced, the target gene was still lost.
[0086] 5. High-density fermentation and protein purification
[0087] The engineered bacteria with high expression levels identified through protein expression are subjected to high-density fermentation culture and protein purification in a fermenter.
[0088] KM71H / 5D-Cpro-2#-P4H was inoculated into a 1L shake flask containing 200mL of seed medium YPG, and cultured at 220rpm and 30℃ for 18-20h until OD6 00 =2~10.
[0089] Use a 5L fermentation tank (Baoxing Biotechnology) with 2L of fermentation medium. Before inoculation, adjust the speed to 300rpm, the ventilation volume to 4L / min, and the temperature to 30°C. Use alkali solution prepared with concentrated ammonia water to adjust the pH to 6.0. First, add 0.9mL PTM1 Pichia yeast trace element mother solution, then add the prepared 200mL seed solution into the tank (flame circle inoculation), then click on the dissolved oxygen electrode to calibrate, and start fermentation after calibration. When the dissolved oxygen drops to 30% for the first time during growth, use the dissolved oxygen cascade speed function to maintain 30%; wait for the glycerol to be consumed, the dissolved oxygen to rebound, and the dissolved oxygen to be greater than 70% (OD 600 value of about 20), cancel the dissolved oxygen cascade speed, increase the stirring speed to 650rpm, use 30% linkage feeding of glycerol, and feed 150mL. Stop feeding glycerol, after the dissolved oxygen rebounds to more than 70%, induce culture with methanol, and feed at a constant rate of 4mL / h. Induction for 80-90h, OD 600 When the change is not obvious or decreases, the tank can be released to obtain the fermentation liquid.
[0090] After the fermentation, the bacterial liquid was centrifuged at 5000rpm for 30min to collect the bacterial cells, which were resuspended in the purified cell wall breaking solution at a ratio of 1:10 (W:V), broken by a homogenizer at 1000bar, and centrifuged at 12000rpm and 4℃ for 30min to separate the supernatant and precipitate. The precipitate was washed, renatured, digested with pepsin, ultrafiltered and desalted, and then freeze-dried to obtain 5D-Cpro freeze-dried powder.
[0091] 6. Structural characterization of 5D-Cpro lyophilized powder
[0092] The 5D-Cpro lyophilized powder was reconstituted and then acid hydrolyzed. The sample was analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The peak area of the targeted data was calculated using MassLynx quantitative software. The identification result was obtained using the standard curve method. The results showed that the hydroxyproline content reached more than 30% of the total proline.
[0093] The 5D-Cpro freeze-dried powder was dissolved in water and tested by circular dichroism spectrometer. The test results are as follows Figure 8 As shown, it is consistent with the circular dichroism spectral characteristics of triple-helical collagen.
[0094] The collagen samples were negatively stained and then tested by transmission electron microscopy. The test results were as follows: Fig. 9 Shown are the typical structural features of collagen microfibrils with alternating light and dark characteristics.
[0095] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
