Cell lines used for the selection of recombinant baculovirus

Summary Four insect cell lines were used to isolate two recombinant baculoviruses which had theβ-galactosidase (β-gal) gene for colorimetric assay purposes. Plaque assays were performed using twoTrichoplusia ni cell lines: BTI-TN-5B1-4 and TN-368, and twoSpodoptera frugiperda cell lines: IPLB-SF-21AE and SF9. The number of plaques (occlusion positive and blueβ-gal⁺ recombinants) formed in theTrichoplusia cells was higher than in theSpodoptera cells. The appearance ofAutographa californica NPV polyhedra was also faster in theT. ni cell lines. The effect of cell passage on the plaque formation proved to be critical when two different passages of the SF9 cells were tested. The higher passage produced a lower viral titration. The size and time of appearance of the plaques was also different.     

Expression and one-step purification of bovine interleukin-21 (IL-21) in silkworms using a hybrid baculovirus expression system

A hybrid baculovirus, a hybrid of the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus and the Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus, was used for the large-scale production of bovine interleukin-21 (IL-21) in silkworms. A recombinant hybrid baculovirus containing the full length of the cDNA of bovine interleukin-21 was constructed and used to infect silkworm larvae or silkmoth pupae. After the infection of the virus, bovine mature IL-21 was produced in the haemolymph or pupal cell lysates. A one-step purification of bovine mature IL-21 from haemolymph using a cation exchange column gave 0.5 mg. IL-21 from 30 ml haemolymph. The bovine IL-21 produced by silkworms strongly induced NK cell proliferation using a human NK cell-line, NK0, and enhanced the lymphokine activated killer (LAK) activity of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells.     

Expression of a foreign gene by cysteine proteinase null recombinant baculovirus

Baculovirus expression vector systems (BEVSs) are broadly used for producing foreign proteins in lepidopteran cells. Most commercial BEVSs are engineered to insert foreign genes into the polyhedrin (polh) locus. They lack the polh gene. These viruses cannot produce occlusion bodies and are inconvenient for per os inoculation of larvae. To avoid this, expression cassettes can be inserted in other parts of the virus genome. The preS2-S gene, coding for the recombinant middle surface antigen of the human hepatitis B virus (M-HBsAg), was expressed from the baculovirus construct rBmNPV-Δv-cath-M-HBsAg, inserting the foreign gene into the v-cath locus of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) so that v-cath was deleted and native polh was retained. Silkworm larvae were infected per os and M-HBsAg was observed to be abundantly produced till very late stages of infection. Infection of larvae with a mixture of the recombinant and wild-type baculoviruses was followed by degradation of the bulk of the produced M-HBsAg as early as 96 h after inoculation.     

Expression of equine interleukin-18 by baculovirus expression system and its biologic activity

The equine interleukin-18 (IL-18) cDNA that contains the coding sequence was cloned and a recombinant baculovirus, named AcEIL-18, was constructed. The recombinant protein of the equine IL-18 was expressed by AcEIL-18 and its expression was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting. Insect cells infected with AcEIL-18 secreted a precursor IL-18 with 24 kilo dalton (kDa) into the culture supernatant. Western blot analysis showed that mature equine IL-18 about 18 kDa was also confirmed without co-expression of caspase-1. Culture supernatant from AcEIL-18 infected cells showed a synergistic effect with recombinant human interleukin-12 for induction of interferon-gamma gene expression in equine peripheral mononuclear cells, indicating that the recombinant equine IL-18 expressed in this study also has biological activity without any treatment.     

Cell size as a tool to predict the production of recombinant protein by the insect-cell baculovirus expression system

The increase of Sf9 cell diameter after infection with a recombinant baculovirus encoding VP8 protein of rotavirus can be used to predict culture productivity. A direct proportional correlation between the increase in cell size and VP8 concentration was obtained when manipulating selected medium components. Only yeast extract increased (38%) VP8 concentration, while fetal bovine serum increased (55%) the maximum cell concentration. An inexpensive and simplified culture media can thus be designed without detriment to protein yields.     

hPARP1酶在杆状病毒/昆虫细胞中的高表达及快速纯化

PARP1是动物细胞内的一种重要的DNA修复酶。近几年PARP1作为新型的抗癌靶点,受到广泛的关注。为了获得高活性的PARP1,首先将hPARP1基因克隆到载体pFastBacTM1中,构建转移载体pFast-hPARP1;然后转化大肠杆菌Escherichia coli DH10Bac感受态细胞中。其次,通过位点特异性转座,将hPARP1基因整合到Bacmid穿梭载体中,构建表达质粒Bacmid-hPARP1。最后,通过脂质体将表达质粒转染Sf9昆虫细胞。Western blotting和酶活测定法对hPARP1的表达和活性进行分析。采用3-氨基苯甲酰胺亲和层析柱对收获的昆虫细胞中表达的hPARP1酶进行纯化。Western blotting结果表明在昆虫细胞中hPARP1酶表达成功。经3-氨基苯甲酰胺亲和层析柱纯化后,Sf9昆虫细胞表达出的hPARP1酶的比活由0.051 nmol/(minμg)提高到了1.988 nmol/(min.μg),而且每100 mL的细胞中能够收获约3.2 mg酶。实验结果为PARP1大规模生产和应用提供了可参考利用的技术。     

Expression and characterization of bovine lactoperoxidase by recombinant baculovirus

Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is a heme-containing oxidation-reduction enzyme present in milk. In this study, the gene encoding bovine lactoperoxidase (bLPO) was inserted into a baculovirus transfer vector, and a recombinant virus expressing bLPO was isolated. A bLPO-related recombinant baculovirus-expressed protein of 78 kDa was detected using anti-bLPO antibodies. After digestion with N-glycosidase F, the molecular weight of the recombinant bLPO (rbLPO) decreased. In addition, rbLPO reacted with lectin, indicating that the protein was glycosylated. The rbLPO activity and heme content in the culture supernatants increased upon addition of delta-aminolevulinic acid, which is a heme precursor. Differences in the delta-aminolevulinic acid-dependent circular dichroism spectrum and rbLPO pepsin hydrolysis were observed. These results suggest that the secondary structure and structural stability of rbLPO depends on the heme environment. Our data suggest that this bLPO expression system is useful for studying structure, catalytic mechanisms, and biological function.
