Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial fermentation synthesis of polyglutamic acid technology, specifically relating to an engineered strain for synthesizing γ-poly-L-glutamic acid and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Monomer configuration is a key factor influencing the functional properties and applications of polymers. Different monomer configurations can significantly alter the chemical properties, biological behavior, and application areas of polymers. Therefore, the regulation of monomer configuration is of great significance for the development of diversified polymer products.

[0003] Taking polylactic acid as an example, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and has been commercially produced. It is widely used as a drug carrier and as a synthetic medical material that can be absorbed by the body (such as medical sutures). Due to its mechanical properties, racemic polylactic acid (PDLLA) is mainly used in the field of engineering plastics. Poly-D-lactic acid (PDLA) is mainly used to prepare drug carriers and medical devices.

[0004] For polyglutamic acid biopolymers, different monomer configurations significantly affect their biocompatibility, degradation behavior, and application areas. Among them, γ-poly-L-glutamic acid (γ-L-PGA), due to its degradation product being L-glutamic acid, exhibits good biocompatibility and low immunogenicity, and shows promising application prospects in areas such as drug carriers, bioadhesives, and medical materials.

[0005] Currently, γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) is mainly prepared through fermentation by Bacillus microorganisms. However, the γ-PGA obtained by existing fermentation processes is usually dominated by D-glutamic acid monomers, with D-glutamic acid content generally accounting for 60% to 90%. This is insufficient to meet the application requirements for high-proportion or high-purity γ-L-PGA, thus limiting the further development of γ-PGA in the field of medical materials to some extent.

[0006] Currently, there are relatively few microbial strains capable of synthesizing γ-L-PGA, and most of them originate from extremely halophilic or alkaliphilic archaea. These microorganisms generally suffer from harsh culture conditions, long growth cycles, and poor fermentation stability, which are unfavorable for industrial production and large-scale application. Therefore, how to obtain a production system that can stably and efficiently synthesize γ-L-PGA and is suitable for conventional culture conditions remains a pressing technical problem to be solved in this field.

[0007] Although patent CN 113234764 A reports the heterologous synthesis of 2% D-glu configuration γ-PGA in Corynebacterium glutamicum, the synthesis of γ-L-PGA has not yet been achieved, and the yield is low, indicating that it is still some distance away from industrial-scale production.

[0008] Therefore, in order to achieve efficient and controllable synthesis of γ-L-PGA, it is necessary to develop an engineered strain capable of synthesizing γ-L-PGA. Summary of the Invention

[0050] Example 2: Fermentation experiment of engineered strain CF-Phy300-Pphy-pgsBCA-Tamy

[0051] The engineered strain CF-Phy300-Pphy-pgsBCA′-Tamy obtained in Example 1 was transferred to LB medium containing 10-50 μg / mL tetracycline hydrochloride and cultured overnight at 37°C and 220 rpm for 12 h. Inoculation was then carried out at a rate of 5% v / v into 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks containing 100 mL of fermentation medium and cultured at 32°C and 200 rpm for 72 h. After fermentation, polyglutamic acid was isolated and purified from the fermentation broth according to the method described in patent CN 119752752 A.

The liquid chromatography results of the polyglutamic acid configuration are shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the engineered strain CF-Phy300-Pphy-pgsBCA′-Tamy synthesizes γ-PGA with a D-glutamic acid molar ratio of 0%, therefore it synthesizes γ-L-PGA.

[0052] The fermentation medium has the following formula: 50 g / L glucose, 40 g / L sodium glutamate, 5 g / L ammonium sulfate, 5 g / L dipotassium hydrogen phosphate trihydrate, 1 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 g / L calcium chloride, 1.5 g / L zinc sulfate, 1 g / L citric acid monohydrate, 25 μg / mL tetracycline hydrochloride, pH=7.

[0053] Example 3: Scale-up Fermentation Production in Fermentation Tanks

[0054] The engineered strain CF-Phy300-Pphy-pgsBCA′-Tamy was inoculated into primary seed medium and cultured at 37℃ and 200 rpm for 12 h to obtain primary seed culture. The primary seed culture was then inoculated into secondary seed medium at a rate of 5% v / v and cultured at 37℃ and 200 rpm for 7 h to obtain secondary seed culture. The cultured secondary seed culture was then inoculated into a 5 L fermenter containing 3 L of fermentation medium at a rate of 8% v / v. The pH of the fermentation medium was adjusted to 6.4–7.5 with 2 M sodium hydroxide solution. Fermentation conditions were 37℃, aeration rate of 1.5 vvm, initial fermentation time of 0–6 h, agitator speed of 200 rpm gradually increased to 500 rpm, dissolved oxygen content maintained above 20%, and samples taken periodically. After 72 h of fermentation, the fermentation broth was transferred to the fermentation tank. During fermentation, the contents of residual sugar, residual monosodium glutamate, and γ-L-PGA, as well as the biomass OD, were measured every 12 h. 600 .

[0055] Test results as follows Figure 3 As shown, the biomass OD in the fermentation broth 600 Rapid growth was observed within the range of 12 to 48 hours; γ-L-PGA in the fermentation broth maintained an increasing trend within the range of 12 to 60 hours, and the growth slowed down after 60 hours; the yield of γ-L-PGA reached its maximum at 72 hours, at 10.50 g / L.

[0056] The primary seed culture medium is LB medium.

[0057] The secondary seed culture medium has the following formula: glucose 50 g / L, sodium glutamate 20 g / L, ammonium sulfate 5 g / L, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate trihydrate 5 g / L, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 1 g / L, calcium chloride 1 g / L, zinc sulfate 1.5 g / L, citric acid monohydrate 1 g / L, pH=7.

[0058] The fermentation medium was formulated as follows: 50 g / L glucose, 50 g / L sodium L-glutamate, 5 g / L ammonium sulfate, 5 g / L dipotassium hydrogen phosphate trihydrate, 1 g / L potassium dihydrogen phosphate, 1 g / L calcium chloride, 1.5 g / L zinc sulfate, 1 g / L citric acid monohydrate, 25 μg / mL tetracycline hydrochloride, pH=7.

[0059] Example 4: Cellular immunological evaluation of γ-L-PGA

[0060] The complete culture medium used in the following experiments was Dulbecco modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), supplemented with 10% (v / v) fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 μg / mL penicillin, and 100 μg / mL streptomycin. Raw264.7 cells were cultured at a constant temperature of 37°C and 5% CO2.

[0061] (1) Cell viability detection

[0062] Raw264.7 cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 1.0 × 10⁶ cells / well. 4 Raw264.7 cells were cultured at 100 cells / well for 24 h until cell adhesion was achieved, then the culture medium was replaced with fresh complete medium. The adhered Raw264.7 cells were divided into four groups: γ-L-PGA, γ-PGA, D-glutamate monomer, L-glutamate monomer, blank control, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (positive control). PBS-dissolved γ-L-PGA, 80 mol% D-glutamate γ-PGA (hereinafter referred to as conventional γ-PGA), D-glutamate monomer, and L-glutamate monomer were added to the γ-L-PGA, γ-PGA, D-glutamate monomer, and L-glutamate monomer groups, respectively. The final concentrations of γ-L-PGA and conventional γ-PGA in the complete medium were 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500 μg / mL, respectively, and the final concentrations of D-glutamate monomer and L-glutamate monomer in the complete medium were 25, 50, and 100 μg / mL, respectively. Cells in the blank control group were not treated in any way. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was added to Raw264.7 cells in the LPS group at a final concentration of 1 μg / mL.

[0063] After culturing Raw264.7 cells for 24 h, the cells were washed with PBS, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was added to each well, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C for 1 h. The absorbance was measured at 450 nm, and the cell viability of each group relative to the blank control group was calculated.

[0064] Experimental results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in a, 4b, and 4c, neither D-glutamate nor L-glutamate monomers exhibited significant cytotoxicity within the tested concentration range. Figure 4 a). Meanwhile, neither γ-L-PGA nor the conventional γ-PGA formulation produced significant cytotoxic effects on Raw264.7 cells overall. Notably, the γ-L-PGA treatment group exhibited the highest cell survival rate at a concentration of 25 μg / mL, reaching 197.46% ( Figure 4 b), significantly higher than the conventional configuration γ-PGA under the same conditions ( Figure 4c) indicates that γ-L-PGA has better biocompatibility with cells and can promote cell proliferation.

[0065] The conventional configuration of γ-PGA mentioned above was purchased from Nanjing Xuankai Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number 25513-46-6.

[0066] (2) Detection of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)

[0067] Raw264.7 cells were seeded in 24-well plates and cultured for 24 h. Then, γ-L-PGA, conventional γ-PGA (80% D-glutamate molar content), and LPS were added for treatment. The final concentrations of γ-L-PGA and conventional γ-PGA were 50 μg / mL, and the final concentration of LPS was 1 μg / mL. After 24 h of treatment, the cell culture supernatant was collected, and the TNF-α detection kit was used for analysis according to the instructions.

[0068] TNF-α detection results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in Figure d, different configurations of γ-PGA can induce a certain degree of inflammatory response in Raw264.7 cells, with a similar trend to that of LPS. However, at the same drug concentration, the TNF-α secretion level induced by γ-L-PGA was significantly lower than that of conventional γ-PGA. These results indicate that γ-L-PGA has lower immunostimulatory activity and demonstrates higher safety and application potential in medical materials and related biomedical applications.

Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the invention.
