PRODUCTION,PURIFICATION, AND CHEMICAL STABILITY OF RECOMBINANT HUMAN INTERFERON-γ IN LOW OXYGEN TENSION CONDITION: A FORMULATION APPROACH

The low stability of recombinant human interferon-γ (rhIFN-γ) therapeutic protein imposes some restrictions in its medical applications. In the current study, the effect of oxygen tension on the stability of purified rhIFN-γ was investigated. The rhIFN-γ was purified (>99%) by a two-step chromatographic process. Storage vials were filled by purified formulated product under normal atmospheric oxygen and low oxygen tension conditions. At different time intervals, the amounts of rhIFN-γ covalent dimers and deamidated forms were analyzed using analytical high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC; size exclusion and cation exchange) and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) methods. To determine the biological activity of purified rhIFN-γ, an antiviral activity assay against vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) was performed. Upon rhIFN-γ long-term storage in a low oxygen tension condition, the amounts of rhIFN-γ covalent dimers and deamidated forms and also the biological activity of rhIFN-γ changed a little. In contrast, by 9 months of storage of rhIFN-γ preparations under normal atmospheric condition, the amount of covalent dimers and deamidated forms increased with time and reached to approximately 3.5% and 11.5% of the initial amount, respectively. The antiviral specific activity of 9-month-old rhIFN-γ preparations decreased to 41% of the initial amount at normal storage condition, while no significant reduction was seen at the low oxygen tension condition. In conclusion, oxygen tension during storage could have a significant impact on rhIFN-γ stability and finally on the quality of pharmaceutical rhIFN-γ product.     

Expression of recombinant human interferon-γ with antiviral activity in the bi-cistronic baculovirus-insect/larval system

A bi-cistronic baculovirus-insect/larval system containing a polyhedron promoter, an internal ribosome entry site (IRES), and an egfp gene was developed as a cost-effective platform for the production of recombinant human interferon gamma (rhIFN-γ). There was no significant difference between the amounts of rhIFN-γ produced in the baculovirus-infected Spodoptera frugiferda 21 cells grown in serum-free medium and the serum-supplemented medium, while the Trichoplusia ni (T. ni) and Spodoptera exigua (S. exigua) larvae afforded rhIFN-γ amounting to 1.08±0.04 and 9.74±0.35 μg/mg protein respectively. The presence of non-glycosylated and glycosylated rhIFN-γ was confirmed by immunoblot and lectin blot. The immunological activity of purified rhIFN-γ, with 96% purity by Nickel (II)-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) affinity chromatography, was similar to that commercially available. Moreover, the rhIFN-γ protein from T. ni had more potent antiviral activity. These findings suggest that this IRES-based expression system is a simple and inexpensive alternative for large-scale protein production in anti-viral research.

The role of a gamma interferon-like lymphokine in the activation of T cells for expression of interleukin 2 receptors

Human peripheral T cells, but not non-T cells, expressed receptors for interleukin 2 when treated with partially purified human gamma interferon (IFN-γ). The expression of the receptors was evidenced by proliferation of IFN-γ-treated cells in the presence of IL 2 and absorption of IL 2 by treated cells. The IFN-γ-induced expression of IL 2 receptors was associated with partially purified IFN-γ (approximately 2000-fold purified) and was blocked by treatment of IFN-γ with specific antibodies or destruction of IFN-γ by acid pH. IFN-γ induced expression of receptors in a manner similar to that of concanavalin A (Con A). Further, Con A induction of expression of receptors was blocked by simultaneous treatment of cultures with anti-IFN-γ sera, suggesting that IFN-γ was involved in Con A induction of IL 2 receptors. T cells in culture are continuously exposed to various forms of antigen stimulation, and thus the function of IFN-γ may be the enhancement of expression of antigen- or mitogen-induced IL 2 receptors in a manner similar to its enhancement of expression of antigens of the major histocompatibility complex.

Mouse cPLA2gamma, a novel oocyte and early embryo-abundant phospholipase A2 gamma-like protein, is targeted to the nuclear envelope during germinal vesicle breakdown

This report documents the characterization of a novel mouse oocyte protein which was originally identified by microsequence analysis of a 67.8 kDa protein spot (pI 5.7) on a Coomassie-stained two-dimensional (2D) gel of murine egg proteins. Tandem mass spectroscopic analysis of the peptides obtained from the cored protein yielded sequences that appeared to match only ovary, egg, and preimplantation embryo cDNAs. We then cloned the novel gene by RACE-PCR, and analysis of the deduced cDNA sequence found that this maternal product was ∼56% identical to human cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ). Based on this sequence homology, we named the molecule mouse cytosolic phospholipase A2γ (cPLA2γ). As with human cPLA2γ, mouse cPLA2γ contains a lipase consensus sequence and lacks the calcium binding domain that is found in other PLA2 proteins. However, mouse cPLA2γ is different from human cPLA2γ in that mouse cPLA2γ expression is restricted to the ovary and that the protein does not contain the myristoylation and prenylation lipid-anchoring motifs that are present in human cPLA2γ. Within oocytes, mouse cPLA2γ localizes mainly to the oocyte cortex and to the nucleoplasm. Interestingly, during germinal vesicle breakdown, mouse cPLA2γ aggregates dynamically relocate from the oocyte cortex to the nuclear envelope, suggesting a possible role for this putative egg-restricted phospholipase A2γ in membrane remodeling. Furthermore, mouse cPLA2γ protein continues to be expressed in the embryo until the 4-8-cell stage of development, suggesting that mouse cPLA2γ may function as a previously uncharacterized maternal effect gene.     

Mechanisms of LPS-induced CD40 expression in human peripheral blood monocytic cells

CD40 plays important roles in cell-mediated and humoral immune responses. In this study, we explored mechanisms underlying lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced CD40 expression in purified human peripheral blood monocytic cells (PBMCs) from healthy volunteers. Exposure to LPS induced increases in CD40 mRNA and protein expression on PBMCs. LPS stimulation caused IκBα degradation. Inhibition of NFκB activation abrogated LPS-induced CD40 expression. LPS stimulation also resulted in phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases, however, only Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) was partially involved in LPS-induced CD40 expression. In addition, LPS exposure resulted in elevated interferon γ (IFNγ) levels in the medium of PBMCs. Neutralization of IFNγ and IFNγ receptor using specific antibodies blocked LPS-induced CD40 expression by 44% and 37%, respectively. In summary, LPS-induced CD40 expression on human PBMCs through activation of NFκB and JNK, and partially through the induction of IFNγ production.
