利用BmNPV-家蚕表达系统包装重组腺相关病毒2型（rAAV2）研究

腺相关病毒（adeno-associated virus,AAV）是基因治疗中最常用的病毒载体之一,目前用于基因治疗的AAV多利用苜蓿银纹夜蛾核型多角体病毒表达系统（AcMNPV-sf9）包装,但较高的包装成本限制了AAV在基因治疗中的广泛应用。家蚕杆状病毒表达系统与AcMNPV-sf9系统相比,具有包装量更高、成本更低的优势,因此更适用于包装重组腺相关病毒（recombinant adeno-associated virus,rAAV）。首先,将AAV2功能基因cap和rep进行序列优化后合成,克隆到杆状病毒转移载体pVL1393上,将增强型绿色荧光蛋白（enhanced green fluorescent protein,EGFP）基因和荧光素酶（luciferase,Luc）基因分别作为报告基因克隆到含有巨噬细胞病毒IE（cytomegalovirus-IE,CMV-IE）启动子的病毒转移载体pVL1393-ITRs-MCS上。随后,将构建好的转移载体分别与缺陷型家蚕杆状病毒reBmBac共转染BmN细胞系,获得分别重组有cap、rep和报告基因的家蚕杆状病毒（Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus,BmNPV）。再将纯化的重组病毒（reBm-Cap2、reBm-Rep2）与reBm-EGFP、reBm-Luc分别混合后感染家蚕,收获其表达产物,纯化得到含有目的基因的rAAV病毒。利用rAAV病毒感染哺乳动物细胞后,通过检测EGFP、Luc的表达状态来验证rAAV包装成功与否。结果显示,利用家蚕杆状病毒系统成功包装了rAAV2,并且在哺乳动物细胞中实现了报告基因的表达。

PRODUCTION OF SMALL ANTIBACTERIAL PEPTIDES USING SILKWORM–BACULOVIRUS PROTEIN EXPRESSION SYSTEM

The recombinant proteins with strong antimicrobial activity are known to be very difficult to express using bacterial expression system. Here, human β-defensin (DEFB) 1, DEFB2, and DEFB3 were successfully produced using a silkworm–baculovirus protein expression system. We have generated four baculoviruses for each DEFB protein to compare the effect of different peptide tags in secretion into silkworm larval hemolymph. Interestingly, the best performing peptide tags for the secretion were different among DEFBs: C-terminal GST-H8 tag for DEFB1, N-terminal H8 tag for DEFB2, and C-terminal H8 tag for DEFB3, respectively. In addition, the colony count assay demonstrated that the recombinant DEFB2 s showed antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Paenibacillus thiaminolyticus.

Comparison of recombinant protein expression in a baculovirus system in insect cells (Sf9) and silkworm

Using a hybrid baculovirus system, we compared the expression of 45 recombinant proteins from six categories using two models: silkworm (larvae and pupae) and an Sf9 cell line. A total of 45 proteins were successfully expressed; preparation of hybrid baculovirus was unsuccessful for one protein, and two proteins were not expressed. A similar pattern of expression was seen in both silkworm and Sf9 cells, with double and multiple bands found in immunoblotting of the precipitate of both hosts. Degraded proteins were seen only in the silkworm system (particularly in the larvae). Production was more efficient in silkworms; a single silkworm produced about 70 times more protein than 10(6) Sf9 cells in 2 ml of culture medium.     

Expression, purification and characterization of human GM-CSF using silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori) as a bioreactor

To date, many recombinant proteins have been expressed in Bombyx mori cells or silkworm larvae, apart from in pupae. Silkworm pupae may be more suitable for the expression of heterologous proteins as a bioreactor. If maintained at an appropriate temperature, silkworm pupae could be inoculated with recombinant baculovirus for the expression of a protein of interest. In this study, human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor was successfully expressed in silkworm pupae using B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus, purified and characterized with respect to its physico-chemical properties. The target protein expressed had an apparent molecular mass of 29 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.1. The protein was purified using three chromatographic steps with a final recovery of 10.3%. Finally, approximately 3.5mg of the protein was obtained with a biological activity of up to 8.4 x 10(6) cfu mg(-1). The results of this study suggest that silkworm pupae represent a convenient and low-cost bioreactor for the expression of heterologous proteins.     

Expression of spider flagelliform silk protein in Bombyx mori cell line by a novel Bac-to-Bac/BmNPV baculovirus expression system

Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) baculovirus expression system (BES) has a lot of advantages such as high expression efficiency, convenience, and low feeding cost. In this report, we used a recently developed BmNPV bacmid, which could infect both B. mori cell lines and silkworm larvae. The results showed it takes only 7 to 10 days to generate recombinant baculovirus and permit the rapid isolation from small-scale cultures and then use it to transfect B. mori cell lines, compared to traditional homologous recombination method, which needs at least 40 days for multiple rounds of purification and amplification of viruses. Using this BES, we expressed a recombinant spider flagelliform protein in BmN cell line, which was around 37 kDa in sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and western blot analysis. The BmNPV bacmid system using silkworm would be very attractive for expression of target proteins.

Improvement of recombinant baculovirus infection efficiency to express manganese superoxide dismutase in silkworm larvae through dual promoters of Pph and Pp10

The silkworm, Bombyx mori, has been used as an important bioreactor for the production of recombinant proteins through baculovirus expression system (BES). There are several problems which will probably be the bottleneck for practical and industrial utilization of silkworm bioreactor. Traditionally, the recombinant virus should infect the larvae through individual dorsal injection by a syringe. This is a time- and labor-consuming procedure. This drawback has become a bottleneck for practical and industrial utilization of baculovirus expression system in the silkworm bioreactor. In this paper, we constructed a dual expression baculovirus to express the renovated polyhedron and target manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene under P10 and polyhedron promoters, respectively, through oral infection. The results showed that the direct injection of recombinant rBacmid/BmNPV/SOD DNA with cellfectin reagent infected the silkworm larvae partially. When next batches of larvae were fed orally with hemolymph, which was collected from first batch of injected and infected larvae, the obvious symptom of infection was found and high target SOD was expressed. These results imply it is feasible to express target genes through combination of recombinant bacmid DNA injection and oral feeding by a dual expression bacmid baculovirus.
