长效缓释微球制剂生产技术的发展现状

长效缓释微球是将药物溶解或分散在高分子骨架材料中的微米级别的药物释放载体,这种新剂型可以显著降低给药频率,同时大分子材料的包裹可以提高药物的稳定性,降低药物的毒副作用,目前广泛应用在蛋白多肽等药物。已有一些用于治疗糖尿病、精神病、子宫内膜异位等疾病的长效缓释微球制剂被批准上市。然而,因为微球的制备工艺繁杂、质量控制困难,至今只在少数产品上应用,现在越来越多的口服难吸收的生物药物开始产品化,长效缓释微球在提高患者依从性方面备受瞩目。本综述对目前典型的微球制备技术做出分析和评判,以期对完善微球制备工艺有所帮助。

Selective removal of N-terminal methionine from recombinant human growth hormone by an aminopeptidase isolated from Aspergillus flavus

An aminopeptidase was isolated from a soil fungus, which specifically cleaves the unnatural N-terminal methionine in recombinant human growth hormone. Reaction mixtures with different ratios of aminopeptidase to recombinant methionyl human growth hormone showed that the removal of N-terminal methionine was complete at 1:200 (w/w), and more than 90% complete at ratios up to 1:2000 (w/w) when incubated for 24 h at 37°C. The data indicate that the aminopeptidase we have purified can be used for the efficient conversion of unnatural recombinant proteins to their natural form.

Expression of human growth hormone in the milk of transgenic rabbits with transgene mapped to the telomere region of chromosome 7q

The advent of transgenic technology has provided methods for the production of pharmaceuticals by the isolation of these proteins from transgenic animals. The mammary gland has been focused on as a bioreactor, since milk is easily collected from lactating animals and protein production can be expressed at very high levels, including hormones and enzymes. We demonstrate here the expression pattern of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) in transgenic rabbits carrying hGH genomic sequences driven by the rat whey acidic protein (WAP) promoter. The transgene was mapped to the q26-27 telomere region of chromosome 7q by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Nearly 30 % of the F1 generation demonstrated the presence of transgene. The recombinant growth hormone was detected in the milk of the transgenic rabbit females, but not in serum, up to the level of 10???g/ml. Ectopic expression of the transgene in the brain, heart, kidney, liver, and salivary gland was not observed, indicating that a short sequence of rat WAP promoter (969 bp) contained essential sequences directing expression exclusively to the mammary gland. The biological activity of recombinant growth hormone was measured by immunoreactivity and the capability to stimulate growth of the hormone-dependent Nb211 cell line.     

Substitution of serine for non-disulphide-bond-forming cysteine in grass carp (Ctenopharygodon idellus) growth hormone improves in vitro oxidative renaturation

Native grass carp (Ctenopharygodon idellus) growth hormone, has 5 cysteine amino acid residues, forms two disulphide bridges in its mature form. Recombinant grass carp growth hormone, when over-expressed in E. coli, forms inclusion bodies. In vitro oxidative renaturation of guanidine-hydrochloride dissolved recombinant grass carp growth hormone was achieved by sequential dilution and stepwise dialysis at pH 8.5. The redox potential of the refolding cocktail was maintained by glutathione disulphide/glutathione couple. The oxidative refolded protein is heterogeneous, and contains multimers, oligomers and monomers. The presence of non-disulphide-bond-forming cysteine in recombinant grass carp growth hormone enhances intermolecular disulphide bond formation and also nonnative intramolecular disulphide bond formation during protein folding. The non-disulphide-bond-forming cysteine was converted to serine by PCR-mediated site-directed mutagenesis. The resulting 4-cysteine grass carp growth hormone has improved in vitro oxidative refolding properties when studied by gel filtration and reverse phase chromatography. The refolded 4-cysteine form has less hydrophobic aggregate and has only one monomeric isoform. Both refolded 4-cysteine and 5-cysteine forms are active in radioreceptor binding assay.

The 20,000 dalton structural variant of recombinant DNA-derived methionyl human growth hormone has early insulin-like effects in hypophysectomized rats

The 20,000 dalton variant of recombinant DNA-derived methionyl human growth hormone (20K-Met-hGH) induced decreases in blood glucose and free fatty acid concentrations one hour after intraperitoneal injection into fasted, hypophysectomized rats. Similar results were obtained using the 22,000 dalton form of recombinant DNA-derived methionyl human growth hormone (22K-Met-hGH). The data reported show that 20K-Met-hGH induces early insulin-like effects similar to the responses produced by 22K-Met-hGH in fasted hypophysectomized rats.     

Crystallization and X-ray data collection on human growth hormone

Single crystals of natural sequence human growth hormone have been grown from media containing ethanol, acetone or paraldehyde. Recombinant growth hormone in its native and desamidated form and pituitary hormone have been crystallized. A full native set of diffraction data extending to 3.5 A resolution has been obtained with synchrotron radiation for crystals of recombinant human growth hormone grown from ethanol. The identity of the material in these crystals has been established by anion-exchange chromatography.     

Growth hormone acts at a pretranslational level in hepatocyte cultures

We have examined the effects of ovine growth hormone and recombinant DNA synthesized human growth hormone on hepatocytes maintained in serum free cultures. Both growth hormone preparations augmented or attenuated 3 specific mRNA sequences as revealed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of [35S] methionine labeled products synthesized in vitro in an mRNA dependent rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. The results clearly indicate that growth hormone, free of potential pituitary contaminants, acts directly on hepatocytes at a pretranslational level.     

Mass spectrometrical analysis of recombinant human growth hormone (Genotropin(R)) reveals amino acid substitutions in 2% of the expressed protein

BACKGROUND: The structural integrity of recombinant proteins is of critical importance to their application as clinical treatments. Recombinant growth hormone preparations have been examined by several methodologies. In this study recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH; Genotropin(R)), expressed in E. coli K12, was structurally analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF-TOF, LC-MS and LC-MS/ MS sequencing of the resolved peptides. RESULTS: Electrospray LC-MS analysis revealed one major protein with an average molecular mass of 22126.8 Da and some additional minor components. Electrospray LC-MS/MS evaluation of the enzymatically digested Genotropin(R) sample resulted in the identification of amino acid substitutions at the residues M14, M125, and M170; di-methylation of K70 (or exchange to arginine); deamidation of N149, and N152, and oxidation of M140, M125 and M170. Peak area comparison of the modified and parental peptides indicates that these changes were present in ~2% of the recombinant preparation. CONCLUSION: Modifications of the recombinant human growth hormone may lead to structural or conformational changes, modification of antigenicity and development of antibody formation in treated subjects. Amino acid exchanges may be caused by differences between human and E. coli codon usage and/or unknown copy editing mechanisms. While deamidation and oxidation can be assigned to processing events, the mechanism for possible di-methylation of K70 remains unclear.
