Expression of murine interleukin-2 cDNA in E. coli and biological activities of recombinant murine interleukin-2

Murine interleukin-2 (MIL-2) cDNA was inserted into an expression vector carrying an Escherichia coli tryptophan promoter and was expressed in E. coli. Recombinant MIL-2 produced by E. coli supported the growth of murine CTLL-2 cells, but not that of human T-cell blasts. Recombinant MIL-2 strongly inhibited the binding of recombinant human IL-2 (HIL-2) to murine responder cells, but only very weakly inhibited the binding to human responder cells. Moreover, recombinant MIL-2 induced secondary alloantigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (2 degrees CTL) from memory CTL and activated natural killer (NK) cells in murine systems in the same manner as recombinant HIL-2. The results suggest that the species hierarchy (that MIL-2 derived from native cell culture does not act on human T-cells) is due to the protein moiety, not the sugar moiety, and is to be ascribed to the difference in binding affinity of MIL-2 and HIL-2 to murine and human responder cells respectively, and that recombinant MIL-2 shares identical biological and immunological activities with recombinant HIL-2. Thus, MIL-2 might be a convenient tool for extensive studies of the pharmacological and physiological activities of IL-2 in murine models.     

Expression of liver-targeting peptide modified recombinant human endostatin and preliminary study of its biological activities

Recombinant human endostatin (rEndostatin or endostar) has been shown to inhibit endothelial cells proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis and exhibits a broad spectrum of activities against solid tumors. However, rEndostatin is easily degradable and evenly distributed to all tissues. Selectively delivering rEndostatin to the lesion site might be more potent. The circumsporozoite protein (CSP) coats the malarial sporozoite and targets the liver for infection; I-plus of N end of CSP could specifically bind to the liver. Based on this, we hypothesize the fusion protein with introducing the CSP I-plus sequence into rEndostatin (rES-CSP) of which not only targets the liver, but also inhibits endothelial cells proliferation, migration, and tube formation. Therefore, it selectively reduces angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and improves the anti-HCC effect. In this study, we synthesized a novel rES-CSP fusion gene by SOE-PCR and expressed the fusion protein in Escherichia coli BL2l (DE3). The suitable conditions were optimized by an orthogonal test (L(25)(5)(4)). The yields were 12 mg/l culture medium following refolding and purification on nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) metal affinity chromatography matrices. The purified rES-CSP is specifically targeted to the hepatocyte and inhibited the proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a dose-dependent manner and showed potent antiangiogenic capability on HUVECs tube formation assay and chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. These results lay the foundation for the further study of its targeting and anti-HCC in vivo and provide a feasible and convenient approach to produce liver-targeting drugs for treatment of the liver diseases.

Expression and purification of antimicrobial peptide CM4 by Npro fusion technology in E. coli

Antimicrobial peptide CM4 is a small cationic peptide with broad-spectrum activities against bacteria, fungi, and tumor cells. Different strategies have been developed to produce small antibacterial peptides using recombinant techniques. To date, no efforts to obtain large quantities of active recombinant CM4 have been reported. In order to establish a bacterium-based CM4 production system, CM4 was cloned into pET28a and expressed with N^pro mutant (EDDIE) fusion. CM4 expressed as EDDIE are deposited as inclusion bodies. On in vitro refolding by switching from chemotropic to kosmotropic conditions, the fusion partner is released from the C-terminal end of the autoprotease by self-cleavage, leaving CM4 protein with an authentic N terminus. Purified CM4 was separated on Ni²⁺-chelating chromatography column and cation-exchange chromatography column. Mass spectroscopic analysis indicated the protein to be 4132.56 Dalton, which equalled the theoretically expected mass. N-terminal sequencing of CM4 showed the sequence corresponded to the native protein. The recombinant CM4 exhibited the same antimicrobial and anti-tumor activity as reported previously. The expression strategy presented in this study allows convenient high yield and easy purification of recombinant CM4 with native sequences.

Expression and secretion of proteins in E. coli

This review outlines approaches to the cloning and expression of proteins in Escherichia coli. The expression vectors described here (pIN-III derivatives) utilize the strong lipoprotein promoter, which is controlled by the lac-UV5 promoter-operator. These vectors provide the means for targeting a protein to any of the four subcellular compartments of the bacterial cell: cytoplasm, cytoplasmic membrane, periplasm, and outer membrane. Of particular importance is that secretion of proteins into the E. coli periplasm (using the OmpA signal peptide) is applicable for the production of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins thereby enhancing protein activity and stability.
