Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a preparation method and application of yeast-expressed triple-helix structure type I recombinant human collagen. Background Art

[0002] Collagen is a very important protein in the body. It is composed of three left-handed α-peptide chains entangled with each other to form a right-handed triple helix structure. Type I collagen is one of the most abundant collagens with a triple helix structure in the human body, and plays an important role in maintaining skin health and the integrity of bone tissue structure. Type I collagen in the human body is mostly a heterotrimer composed of two α1 chains and one α2 chain. This triple helix structure gives collagen good biomechanical properties and biocompatibility, making it play a key role in maintaining skin elasticity, bone strength, and tendon toughness.

[0003] As a substitute for natural human collagen, recombinant human type I collagen is widely used in inhibiting and relieving dermatitis, improving sensitive skin, and caring for postoperative wounds, playing a huge role in functional biomaterials, cosmetics, and food. Currently, most recombinant human type I collagen products on the market are recombinant human collagen or recombinant collagen, which can be expressed in large quantities in microorganisms at a relatively low cost, but this type of collagen does not have a triple helix structure. The mechanical properties of single-chain collagen are far inferior to those of triple helix collagen, and it is difficult to perform in application scenarios that require higher mechanical strength. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a method for preparing recombinant human collagen type I with a triple helix structure. Summary of the invention

[0077] 5. Construction of recombinant engineering strains, induced expression and strain screening:

[0078] Pichia KM71 (or X33) was used as the starting strain, and the competent state of Pichia was prepared according to the competent state preparation method described by Lin-Cereghino (Lin-Cereghino et al., 2005); pMChZ-α1(Ⅰ) obtained in 4.1 was linearized with SalⅠ to obtain pMChZ-α1(Ⅰ) linearized plasmid. The pMChZ-α1(Ⅰ) linearized plasmid was electroporated into the competent state of Pichia according to the method of Invitrogen's Pichia ExpressionKit USER GUIDE, and then coated on a YPDZ (bleomycin, 300 μg / mL) plate to obtain the strain KM71H / pMChZ-α1(Ⅰ).

[0079] Using KM71H / pMChZ-α1(Ⅰ) as the starting strain, pMCrN-α2(Ⅰ) obtained in 4.2 above was linearized using SalⅠ and transformed into the competent cell of the starting strain to obtain strain KM71H / α1(Ⅰ)-α2(Ⅰ).

[0080] Using KM71H / α1(Ⅰ)-α2(Ⅰ) as the starting strain, the pPIC9K-P4H(DP)-1 obtained in 4.4 above was linearized using BspEⅠ and transformed into the competent cell of the starting strain to obtain strain KM71H / α1(Ⅰ)-α2(Ⅰ)-P4H.

[0082] 6. The engineered strain obtained above was inoculated into a 100 mL Erlenmeyer flask containing 10 mL of BMGY medium and cultured at 28°C and 220 rpm until OD 600 The cells were collected by centrifugation at 3000 g for 5 min at room temperature and resuspended in BMMY medium to an OD of 4. 600The cell culture medium was placed on a shaker at 28°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 induction with methanol, 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 added with 20 μL of loading buffer and heated at 80°C for 5 minutes to prepare the sample. 20 μL was taken for SDS-PAGE. Add 200 μL of cell wall breaking solution and 40% of the liquid volume of 0.5 mm glass beads to the cells; vortex for 1 min, place on ice for 1 min, and repeat 6 times; centrifuge at 12000g for 30 min at 4°C, take 80 μL of the supernatant and 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. Collagen was detected using COL1A1 and COL1A2 antibodies, respectively. The test results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in the results, KM71H / α1(Ⅰ)-α2(Ⅰ) and KM71H / [α1(Ⅰ)]2α2(Ⅰ)-P4H can detect full-length COL1A1 and COL1A2. The α subunit of P4H was detected with the P4HA1 antibody, and the β subunit of P4H was detected with the P4HB antibody. The detection results are shown in Figure 7 As shown, the results showed that KM71H / α1(Ⅰ)-α2(Ⅰ) and KM71H / [α1(Ⅰ)]2α2(Ⅰ)-P4H could normally express P4HA and P4HB subunits.

[0083] Formula of cell wall breaking solution: 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 5% glycerol and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) were dissolved in anhydrous ethanol to prepare a 100× mother solution, which was added before cell wall breaking.

[0084] 7. High-density fermentation culture and protein purification: The engineered bacteria with high expression levels identified through protein expression will be subjected to high-density fermentation culture and protein purification in a fermenter.

[0085] KM71H / [α1(Ⅰ)]2α2(Ⅰ)-P4H was inoculated into a 1 L shake flask containing 200 mL of seed culture medium YPG and cultured at 220 rpm and 30°C for 18 h until OD600 = 2-10.

[0086] 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, the temperature to 30°C, and adjust the pH with an alkali solution prepared with concentrated ammonia water to set the pH to 6.0. First, add 0.9mL PTM1, then add the prepared 200mL seed solution to 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. After induction for 80h, OD 600 When the change is not obvious or decreases, the tank can be released to obtain the fermentation liquid.

[0087] 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), and broken by a homogenizer at 1000bar. After the breaking, the supernatant and precipitate were separated by centrifugation at 12000rpm and 4℃ for 30min. The precipitate was washed, renatured, digested with pepsin, ultrafiltered and desalted, and then freeze-dried to obtain α1(Ⅰ)α2(Ⅰ) freeze-dried powder.

[0088] Purification cell wall breaking solution formula: 10mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 100mM NaCl and 100mM glycine.

[0089] 8. Structural characterization of α1(Ⅰ)α2(Ⅰ) lyophilized powder:

[0090] The α1(Ⅰ)α2(Ⅰ) freeze-dried 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.

[0091] 9. Dissolve the α1(Ⅰ)α2(Ⅰ) freeze-dried powder in water and detect it using a 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.

[0092] 10. After negative staining, the collagen sample was tested by transmission electron microscopy. The test results are as follows: Fig. 9 Shown are the typical structural features of collagen microfibrils with alternating light and dark characteristics.
