Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a fusion protein, in particular to a uricase fusion protein and a pharmaceutical composition and use thereof. Background Art
[0002] During the evolution process, humans and higher primates have undergone pseudogenesis of urate oxidase, lacking functional urate oxidase and unable to degrade uric acid into allantoin, so uric acid becomes the final product of purine metabolism in the human body. The blood uric acid concentration depends on the balance between uric acid production and excretion. When purine metabolism is disordered, uric acid is produced excessively or excreted less, the blood uric acid level will continue to exceed the standard and suffer from hyperuricemia (HUA). Long-term HUA can cause weakly water-soluble urate to saturate and precipitate in the form of crystals and deposit in soft tissues or joints, which in turn causes inflammation and induces gout. In addition, hyperuricemia can lead to a variety of complications, including hypertension, chronic kidney disease, obesity, metabolic disorders, type 2 diabetes, etc.
[0003] There are three types of drugs for uric acid lowering therapy. The first type of drug is xanthine oxidase inhibitors, such as allopurinol and febuxostat. The treatment strategy aims to reduce the synthesis of uric acid, but its effectiveness in lowering uric acid is limited, and only 30%-60% of patients treated achieve plasma uric acid concentrations <6mg / dL. In addition, allopurinol is excreted by the kidneys, and patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may face a higher risk of toxicity. The second type of drug is uricosuric drugs, which can inhibit the reabsorption of uric acid into the blood in the renal tubules and promote the excretion of uric acid, thereby reducing the level of uric acid in the serum, but may cause the formation of urate kidney stones and cause acute kidney disease. The third type is recombinant uricase drugs, which can efficiently catalyze the conversion of uric acid into allantoin. Rasburicase, which is approved for tumor lysis syndrome, has high immunogenicity and a short half-life. Pegloticase, which is marketed in the United States for the treatment of refractory gout, has been clinically detected with anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies and allergic reactions. In addition, the adverse reactions and side effects of intravenous infusion of these urate oxidase preparations limit their widespread clinical application.
[0004] In a human body with normal uric acid metabolism, more than 70% of uric acid is excreted by the kidneys every day, and the remaining 30% is secreted through the intestines and then decomposed by the flora. In patients with chronic gouty nephropathy, the kidney's function of excreting uric acid is impaired, and the proportion of uric acid excreted by the intestines increases to 50% to 70%, becoming the main route of uric acid excretion. Current therapies still have many limitations. Summary of the invention
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of poor efficacy and large side effects in existing drug therapies, and to provide a fusion protein and its application.

[0047] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples. The experimental methods in the following examples without specifying specific conditions are carried out according to conventional methods and conditions, or selected according to the product specifications.
[0048] Unless otherwise specified, all reagents and raw materials used in the examples are commercially available.
[0049] Example 1: Preparation of uricase fusion protein
[0050] The amino acid sequence of the mucin binding polypeptide (MUB) is publicly available and can be found in the UniProt database by accession number Q9RGN5, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. The amino acid sequence of the recombinant porcine-baboon uricase (PBC) is publicly available and is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. The amino acid sequence of the Candida utilis uricase (CuUOX) is publicly available and is shown in SEQ ID NO: 3. CuUOX is reported to have improved stability to proteolytic digestion by pancreatic enzymes (a collection of enzymes secreted by the pancreas) compared to the naturally occurring enzyme. The fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 4-18) was prepared as follows.
[0051] (1) Uricase fusion protein is expressed in the form of fusion protein. An expression cassette for uricase fusion protein is constructed and inserted into the pET30 plasmid. Then, the expression cassette is transformed into competent E. coli BL21 (DE3) bacteria, and an engineered strain for expressing uricase fusion protein (SEQ ID NO: 4-18) is obtained by screening. After shake flask fermentation of the engineered bacteria, the uricase fusion protein is expressed at a high level in the cytoplasm in a soluble form. According to the protein electrophoresis results (such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 The strains selected after transformation were confirmed to express the target protein, and the sequence of the designed recombinant uricase was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The constructed strains were frozen and stored with 50% glycerol.
[0052] (2) The strain was fermented by shake flask fermentation. The culture medium formula is as follows: LB liquid culture medium: 5 g / L yeast extract, 10 g / L soy peptone, 10 g / L sodium chloride; fermentation medium: 2 g / L glucose, 20 g / L glycerol, 15 g / L yeast extract, 3 g / L ammonium sulfate, 17.2 g / L disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, 3 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 g / L potassium chloride, 0.5 g / L sodium chloride. Under sterile conditions, 10 μl was taken from the glycerol tube containing the recombinant strain and inoculated into a shake flask containing 30 ml LB liquid culture medium containing 25 μg / ml kanamycin for seed liquid culture. After culturing at 37°C and 220 rpm for 12 hours, the inoculation amount was transferred to a shake flask containing 200 ml ULP1 fermentation medium under sterile conditions for shake flask fermentation at 2% (v / v). The culture was cultured at 37°C and 220 rpm until the bacterial OD 600 After the pH value was 0.6-0.8, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.1 mmol / L, and the culture was continued at 30°C and 220 rpm to induce the expression of urate oxidase. After 6 h of culture, the shake flask fermentation was terminated and the bacteria were collected by centrifugation at 10,000×g for 10 min.
[0053] (3) Use a cell disruptor JN-02C (Ju Neng Biotech) to homogenize and disrupt the recombinant E. coli cells. After centrifugation, the collected bacteria were resuspended in homogenization buffer PBS (ratio of 1 g bacteria / 10 ml buffer), filtered through a mesh, set the homogenization pressure to 1000 bar, and the cooling circulating water temperature to 5°C. Repeat 3 times to disrupt the recombinant E. coli cells. Collect the cell lysis solution and collect the supernatant of the cell lysis solution by centrifugation. Pre-equilibrate a chromatography column filled with xanthine-agarose (Sigma) with mobile phase A: 50 mmol / L disodium hydrogen phosphate (pH 8.5). The supernatant of the cell lysis solution was filtered with a 0.22 μm aqueous filter membrane and then loaded. After loading, the column was rinsed with mobile phase A, and the protein bound to the filler was isocratically eluted with mobile phase B (50 mmol / L triethanolamine, 50 mmol / L sodium chloride, 0.5 mmol / L xanthine). The eluted sample containing the target protein was detected and collected, and PBS (pH 7.4) was added to an ultrafiltration centrifuge tube, and the xanthine was removed by centrifugation at 3000×g for 15 min for 3 times to obtain a purified solution of urate oxidase fusion protein.
[0054] Example 2: Determination of uricase activity
[0055] The enzyme activity of the uricase fusion protein was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. Uric acid, the substrate of uricase oxidase, has a maximum absorption at 293 nm, so the decrease in absorbance at 293 nm per minute detected by the kinetic continuous monitoring method can represent the enzyme activity.
[0056] Using a 50mmol / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer system (pH6.8), add 50μl of appropriately diluted enzyme solution to a quartz 96-well plate, preheat in a 37℃ microplate incubator for 5min, add 200μl of 20μg / ml uric acid solution and mix quickly, put it into a multifunctional microplate reader controlled at 37℃, and continuously measure the decrease in absorbance at 293nm within 3min every 30s. Enzyme activity, that is, the initial rate of enzyme reaction, is reflected by the decrease rate of absorbance measured at the detection wavelength of 293nm at the 2nd to 5th time points. At the same time, the absorbance values of borate buffers containing different molar concentrations of uric acid at the detection wavelength of 293nm were measured, and the molar concentration OD293nm standard curve was drawn. The enzyme activity was calculated in combination with the decrease rate of absorbance measured above.
[0057] The results are shown in Table 1. The specific activity of the original recombinant pig-baboon uricase SEQ ID NO: 2 was 1.20 U / mg, and the specific activity of the recombinant pig-baboon uricase fusion protein SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 10, which was connected to SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 24 at the C-terminus, was increased to 1.26 U / mg, 2.26 U / mg, 1.89 U / mg, and 1.87 U / mg. The specific activity of the recombinant pig-baboon uricase fusion protein SEQ ID NO: 7, which was connected to SEQ ID NO: 23 at the C-terminus, was reduced to 0.67 U / mg, indicating that the recombinant pig-baboon uricase C-terminus connected to SEQ ID NO: 23 had an effect on the activity of the enzyme. The specific activity of the recombinant porcine-baboon uricase, which was connected to the N-terminus of SEQ ID NO:23 and SEQ ID NO:25 by fusion proteins SEQ ID NO:8 and SEQ ID NO:9, was increased to 2.25 U / mg and 1.67 U / mg, respectively. The specific activity of the original Candida utilis uricase SEQ ID NO:3 was 1.07 U / mg, and the specific activity of the Candida utilis uricase, which was connected to the C-terminus of SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:22, SEQ ID NO:23, SEQ ID NO:24 by fusion proteins SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15, was increased to 1.28 U / mg, 1.20 U / mg, 1.13 U / mg, 1.15 U / mg, and 1.21 U / mg, respectively. The enzyme specific activities of the fusion proteins SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17, and SEQ ID NO:18 of the Candida utilis uricase with the N-terminus connected to SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:23, and SEQ ID NO:25 were increased to 1.71 U / mg and 1.26 U / mg, respectively, indicating that the enzyme activity of the fusion protein of uricase connected to the mucin binding peptide was maintained and was partially superior to the original sequence.

[0059]
[0060] Example 3: Evaluation of mucin binding capacity
[0061] (1) Biotinylation of urate oxidase
[0062] Biotin was covalently coupled to the amino group of uricase using the Genemore G-MM-IGT biotinylation kit. The buffer should not contain any other substances with amino groups except the target. If any, they must be removed by desalting or dialysis. Biotinylation reagent: target = 3:1 (molar ratio MCR), reaction volume is 400μl. The required volume of 10mM biotinylation reagent (μl) = target concentration (mg / ml) target molecular weight (kDa) × MCR × target volume (μl) × 0.1. Add the required reaction volume of biotinylation reagent and uricase fusion protein and mix evenly, react at room temperature for 30min. After the reaction is completed, centrifuge at 5000×g for 2min, aspirate the supernatant and remove free biotin by gravity desalting or ultrafiltration.
[0063] (2) Indirect ELISA test
[0064] Type II porcine gastric mucin (Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in pH 7.4 phosphate buffer (PBS) at about 4 mg / ml, 100 μL per well, incubated at 37°C for 1 h on a shaker, and coated on a 96-well ELISA plate (NUNC TM [Thermo Scientific]). After coating, pour off the solution in the wells, add 200 μL of 0.05% Tween20-PBS (PBST) as the washing solution to each well, and wash three times. Add 200 μL of 1% (w / v) bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the blocking solution to each well, and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour. After incubation, remove the blocking solution, add 200 μL of PBST to each well and wash three times. Dilute the biotinylated uricase fusion protein with PBS to different concentrations, add 100 μL to each well of the ELISA plate, set up 2 replicate wells for each sample, and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour. After incubation, wash each well with 200 μL of PBST three times. Add 100 μL of diluted HRP-streptomycin to each well, and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. After incubation, wash each well with 200 μL of PBST three times. Add 100 μL TMB reaction solution to each well and incubate at 37°C for 20 min. Then add 50 μL stop solution (2 mol / L H2SO4 solution) to stop the reaction. After adding the stop solution, detect the OD on the microplate reader in time. 450nm Finally, the half-maximal effect concentration (EC 50 )value.
[0065] The results are shown in Table 2. Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the EC50 value of the original recombinant pig-baboon uricase was 207.90 nM, and the EC50 value of the fusion proteins of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 20, SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, SEQ ID NO: 23, and SEQ ID NO: 24 was 207.90 nM. 50 The EC50 values of the recombinant pig-baboon uricase were reduced to 74.28nM, 31.45nM, 32.18nM, 9.45nM, and 3.08nM, respectively. The EC50 values of the fusion proteins SEQ ID NO:8 and SEQ ID NO:9, whose N-termini were connected to SEQ ID NO:23 and SEQ ID NO:25, respectively, were reduced to 3.27nM and 5.15nM. The EC50 value of the original Candida utilis uricase was 1220.00nM, and the EC50 value of the fusion proteins SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, and SEQ ID NO:15, whose C-termini were connected to SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:22, SEQ ID NO:23, and SEQ ID NO:24, respectively, were reduced to 74.28nM, 31.45nM, 32.18nM, 9.45nM, and 3.08nM, respectively. The EC50 values of the recombinant pig-baboon uricase were reduced to 3.27nM and 5.15nM, respectively. 50 The values were reduced to 0.89nM, 1.40nM, 0.91nM, 1.99nM and 0.70nM, respectively. The EC50 of the fusion proteins SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17 and SEQ ID NO:18 of the Candida utilis uricase linked to SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:23 and SEQ ID NO:25 at the N-terminus were reduced to 6.93nM, 1.15nM and 3.96nM, respectively.
[0066] It can be seen that the uricase fusion protein connected to the MUB fragment can enhance the binding ability of uricase to mucin. Enhancing the binding ability of uricase to mucin can prolong the retention time of uricase in the intestine after oral administration, and have a longer active window in the intestine, thereby enhancing its therapeutic effect.
