Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and in particular to a method for preparing COL17A1 protein and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The following statements are provided only as background information in relation to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] COL17A1 (collagen type XVII α1 chain) belongs to the XVII collagen family and is an important transmembrane protein in the basement membrane region. As a core component of hemidesmosomes, COL17A1 exists in the basement membrane region of the epidermis and dermis, playing a crucial role in maintaining skin structural stability, cell adhesion, signal transduction, and tissue regeneration. It also regulates the stem cell microenvironment, promotes stem cell proliferation, regulates keratinocyte migration, and promotes wound healing. In recent years, it has been widely used in the treatment of skin diseases, gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and anti-aging.
[0004] Natural COL17A1 is present in extremely low amounts in humans and animals, making extraction difficult and yields very low, thus limiting its application prospects. Currently, its main sources rely on recombinant expression in *E. coli*, *Pichia pastoris*, or mammalian cells (such as HEK-293T and CHO). However, recombinant expression systems still face numerous technical challenges. While recombinant expression of COL17A1 using *E. coli* or *Pichia pastoris* is low-cost and yields high volumes, the expressed COL17A1 is unglycosylated and prone to inclusion body formation, leading to decreased protein stability and the potential for endotoxins that could trigger immune responses, limiting its use to scientific research and in vitro experiments. Recombinant human COL17A1 protein expressed in mammalian cells such as HEK-293T and CHO is closer to natural glycosylation, exhibiting lower immunogenicity and higher biological activity, and can be widely used in immunotherapy, regenerative medicine, and anti-aging. However, its protein expression levels are low, and purification steps such as affinity chromatography and ion exchange are required, significantly increasing production costs.
[0005] Therefore, developing an efficient, highly active, low-immunogenic, and low-cost method for preparing recombinant human type XVII collagen COL17A1 and expanding its application in the biomedical field has significant market potential.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This invention utilizes HEK-293T cells to express COL17A1 protein and replaces the traditional signal peptide with the EDIL3 protein signal peptide, thus successfully achieving the preparation of high-yield, highly bioactive COL17A1 protein. Experiments have confirmed a synergistic effect between the EDIL3 protein signal peptide and HEK-293T cells; compared to CHO cells, the EDIL3 protein signal peptide induces higher COL17A1 protein expression levels in HEK-293T cells.

[0088] Example 2
[0089] Production and preparation of human type XVII collagen COL17A1 efficiently secreted and expressed by HEK-293T cells:
[0090] HEK-293T cells were seeded and plated one day in advance to ensure 80% confluence before transfection. For transfection, 20 μg of pA-COL17A1, pB-COL17A1, and pC-COL17A1 prepared in Example 1 were incubated with PEI transfection reagent to form transfection complexes. After incubation, the transfection complexes were added to the HEK-293T cell culture supernatant. The HEK-293T cell culture supernatant was collected, and the COL17A1 protein corresponding to the elution peak was eluted using a nickel ion affinity chromatography column. The COL17A1 protein formed a trimer, namely recombinant human type XVII collagen.
[0091] Example 3
[0092] Comparison of expression levels of COL17A1 protein linked by different signal peptides
[0093] The expression plasmids pA-COL17A1, pB-COL17A1, and pC-COL17A1 prepared in Example 1 were transfected into HEK-293T cells. Cell culture supernatant was collected 72 hours after transfection, and the expression level of COL17A1 was compared using Western blotting. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown, when the total protein loading amount per well was consistent, among the COL17A1 proteins linked by signal peptides A, B, and C, the COL17A1 protein linked by signal peptide A showed the highest expression level. Therefore, when expressing COL17A1 in HEK-293T cells, using signal peptide A to link COL17A1 yields the maximum expression level.
[0094] Example 4
[0095] Comparison of COL17A1 protein expression linked by signal peptide A in different mammalian cells:
[0096] The expression plasmid pA-COL17A1 constructed in Example 1 was transfected into HEK-293T and CHO cells, respectively, to compare its expression differences in different mammalian cell types. One day before transfection, HEK-293T and CHO cells were seeded into 6-well plates to achieve 80% confluence before transfection. During transfection, 2 μg of the constructed signal peptide A linked to the COL17A1 recombinant expression plasmid was incubated with PEI transfection reagent to form a transfection complex. After incubation, the transfection complex was added to the culture supernatant of HEK-293T and CHO cells, using the same amount of plasmid for both transfections. After transfection, the culture supernatant of HEK-293T and CHO cells was collected after 72 h, and the expression level of COL17A1 was compared using Western blotting. The results are as follows: Figure 3As shown, when the total protein loading amount per well was consistent, the expression level of the recombinant expression plasmid linking signal peptide A to COL17A1 in HEK 293T cells was significantly better than that in CHO cells. Therefore, using the recombinant plasmid linking signal peptide A to COL17A1 expressed in HEK-293T cells can efficiently secrete and express human type XVII collagen COL17A1.
[0097] Example 5
[0098] COL17A1 promotes fibroblast adhesion:
[0099] The COL17A1 protein prepared in Example 2 was dissolved in PBS to a protein solution of 1 mg / ml. For the cell adhesion assay in 96-well plates, 100 μl of COL17A1 protein solution was added to each well of the experimental group, and PBS solution was used for the negative group. The plates were coated overnight at 4°C, then incubated with 2% denaturing BSA for 1 h. The plates were then washed three times with serum-free medium to remove excess gel. Fibroblasts were digested, and 5000 cells were seeded in each well. A blank control (no cells, only medium) was added. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 2 h. After 2 h, the medium was removed from each well, and the cells were gently washed three times with PBS to remove non-adhered cells. 100 μl of medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added, and the plates were incubated at 37°C for another 2 h. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader, and the cell adhesion rate was calculated. Results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the cell adhesion rate of the COL17A1 protein-coated well plate prepared in Example 2 was significantly higher than that of the well plate coated with PBS solution.
[0100] Example 6
[0101] COL17A1 promotes fibroblast proliferation:
[0102] The COL17A1 protein obtained in Example 2 was diluted with DMEM basal medium to the following concentrations: 4 μg / ml, 2 μg / ml, 1 μg / ml, 0.5 μg / ml, 0.25 μg / ml, 0.125 μg / ml, 0.0625 μg / ml, and 0 μg / ml (i.e., without COL17A1 protein). The sample group consisted of the above-mentioned diluted COL17A1, while the blank control group used DMEM basal medium. Each group was configured with three replicates. One day prior to the test, fibroblasts were seeded into 96-well plates at 2000 cells per well, with no cells seeded in the outer wells. PBS was added to prevent the inner medium from drying out. Cells were incubated overnight at 37°C. Each cell group was then incubated with a series of diluted COL17A1 protein concentrations and DMEM basal medium, and cultured for another 48 hours. After 48 hours, the culture medium in each well was removed, the cells were washed three times with PBS, and culture medium containing 10% CCK-8 was added. The cells were then incubated at 37°C for another 2 hours, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. Results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, fibroblast proliferation activity gradually increases with increasing COL17A1 protein concentration.
[0103] Example 7
[0104] COL17A1 promotes fibroblast migration:
[0105] COL17A1 protein was dissolved in DMEM to a concentration of 1 mg / ml. In 12-well plates, the experimental group was coated with 500 μl of COL17A1 protein solution for 2 hours, while the negative control group was coated with DMEM without COL17A1. After coating each well, horizontal lines were evenly drawn on the back of the 12-well plate using a marker and a ruler. Fibroblasts in the logarithmic growth phase were then digested and counted. 3 x 10T cells were seeded per well. 5 After cell adhesion was achieved, the confluence reached 100%. On the second day after plating, the cells were scratched vertically along the bottom horizontal line of the plate using a 200 μl pipette tip. After scratching, the cells were cleaned three times with PBS, and 1 ml of complete culture medium was added. The cells were then cultured at 37°C, and observed and photographed at 0 h, 6 h, and 24 h. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the area of the scratch in the well plate coated with COL17A1 protein decreased significantly over time, and the wound healing rate was greater than that of fibroblasts without COL17A1 coated plate.
