Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of genetic engineering and collagen protein, and particularly relates to a chimeric collagen protein and an expression method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals, accounting for about 30% of the total protein, and is also an extracellular matrix protein like elastin. It is closely related to beauty care, skin care and tissue regeneration. At present, 28 types of collagen (I-XXVIII) have been found, of which I, II, III, IV, V and XVII are the most studied. Among them, I, II and III belong to interstitial collagen, IV and XVII belong to basement membrane collagen, and V belongs to extracellular peripheral collagen. Although there are many types of collagen with complex structures, their basic compositions are similar, and they all contain (Gly-X-Y) amino acid sequence repeats. These repeats are the basis of the triple helix structure, in which X is usually proline (Pro) and Y is usually hydroxyproline (HyPro) or hydroxylysine (Hy Lys), which are rarely seen in other proteins.

[0003] Type III collagen is one of the most important and abundant proteins in mammals, and is a structural protein found in the skin, connective tissue and bone of the human body and other tissues, which is twisted into a triple helix by three peptide chains. Type IV collagen is less abundant in animals, making it difficult to extract a single component. Col17a1 is a homogeneous trimer composed of three identical α1 chains, which contains a 50 kDa intracellular domain (ICD), a transmembrane domain and a 120 kDa extracellular domain. Studies have shown that Col17a1 is an important component of the epidermal stem cell hemidesmosome, an important component of the hair follicle stem cell and skin stem cell homeostasis, and plays an important role in basement membrane adhesion, skin aging mechanism and maintenance of hair follicle stem cells. It is a potential focus for future anti-aging and hair loss prevention skin care products. Collagen is one of the most widely used protein materials in the fields of biomaterials and regenerative medicine due to its excellent biological functions, biocompatibility and biodegradability.

[0004] In addition to type I, II and III collagen, which are relatively abundant in the human and animal body, other types of collagen are very low in content, which is not conducive to extraction and application. At the same time, the existing biosynthetic collagen is mainly a single type of recombinant expression, and the combined use of multiple types of collagen is required for some scenarios. To simplify the product application formula, it is of great significance to design a chimeric collagen with different type collagen characteristics. Summary of the Invention

[0073] (4) Desalting: The above ion exchange chromatography solution was replaced with purified water using a 5kDa ultrafiltration membrane device in an equal volume replacement manner to remove the salt in the solution. The solution was then filtered with a 0.45μm filter membrane and freeze-dried to obtain the chimeric collagen HC92 freeze-dried product.

[0097] like Figure 4 As shown, cell viability was greater than 100% in the concentration range of 0.1 mg / mL to 10 mg / mL, indicating that the chimeric collagen HC92 obtained in this invention has no cytotoxicity.

[0098] Example 2: Cell proliferation assay

[0099] Cell proliferation assays were performed using the lyophilized chimeric collagen HC92 obtained in Example 1. An experimental group and a control group were set up, with 5 replicates per group.

[0100] Among them, the experimental group 1 sample was a 3 mg / mL chimeric collagen HC92 solution dissolved in DMEM medium.

[0101] Sample 2 in experimental group: Recombinant human type III collagen solution dissolved in DMEM medium with a final concentration of 3 mg / mL;

[0108] Example 3: Cell migration promotion assay

[0109] This efficacy example was conducted according to Appendix C of the "Pharmaceutical Industry Standard of the People's Republic of China" YY / T1849-2022: Recombinant Collagen – Cell Migration Assay – Cell Scratch Test.

The cells were washed three times with PBS to remove the streaked cells, and 2 mL of sample was added. The cells were then cultured again at 37°C and 5% CO2. At 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h, photographs were taken under a 40x microscope, with the intersection of the horizontal and vertical streaks as the focal point.
