Administration of macromolecule compositions in medicine and cosmetics always exhibited low bioavailability due to the limitation of transmembrane transport. Here, human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was fused with glutathione S-transferase (GST) and Pep-1, the first commercial cell-penetrating peptide, in Escherichia coli. The fusion protein was firstly purified with the affinity chromatography, and then the GST tag was released by TEV protease. Final purification was achieved by the ion exchange chromatography. The biological activities and the transmembrane ability of the obtained products were determined using scratch wound-healing assay, MTT analysis, and immunofluorescence assay. The results showed that both rhEGF and Pep-1-fused hEGF were soluble expressed in E. coli. The fusion of Pep-1 could markedly increase the transmembrane ability of EGF, whereas it did not interfere with the growth-stimulating and migration-promoting functions of hEGF on fibroblasts. This research provided a novel strategy for the transmembrane transport of protein-derived cosmetics or drugs. 相似文献

Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) is a polypeptide of 53 amino acids, is an important autocrine/paracrine factor in the
human body, and is used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. We constructed a fusion hEGF protein with a collagen-binding
domain (CBD) composed of 33 amino acids from Vibrio mimicus metalloprotease (VMCBD). The CBD segment of the metalloprotease was fused at the C terminus of the hEGF protein. The recombinant
fusion protein was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. The purified hEGF protein promoted greater growth of human/A-431 cells than did the control hEGF. The fusion
EGF protein also showed collagen-binding activity with type I collagen. In contrast, hEGF did not bind to type I collagen.
These results suggest that recombinant hEGF protein fused to VMCBD may be able to remain for a long period at injured epidermal
tissue acting as a healing agent. 相似文献

Honey has been used successfully in wound healing for thousands of years. The peptide hormone human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) is also known to have a beneficial effect in various wound healing processes via mechanisms that differ from those for honey. In this study, we show that hEGF can be incorporated into honey via nectar. Plants of Nicotiana langsdorffii × N. sanderae were transformed with the gene for hEGF, equipped with a nectary‐targeted promoter and a signal sequence for secretion to nectar. These plants accumulated hEGF in the nectar. The maximum hEGF concentration recorded with ELISA in these plants is 2.5 ng·ml?1. There is a significant linear relationship (P < 0.001) between hEGF concentration and induction of hEGF‐receptor phosphorylation. Since the flower morphology of these plants did not allow production of honey from their nectar, we used feeding solutions, spiked with synthetic hEGF, to study transfer of this peptide into honey through bee activity. Transfer of hEGF from a feeding solution to honey by bees occurred with retention of the hEGF concentration and the capacity to induce hEGF‐receptor phosphorylation. These observations indicate that plants can function as a production platform for honey containing biologically active peptides, which may enhance wound healing and other biological processes. 相似文献

High-level expression and purification of human epidermal growth factor with SUMO fusion in Escherichia coli 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) can stimulate the division of various cell types and has potential clinical applications. However, the high expression of active hEGF in Escherichia coli has not been successful, as the protein contains three intra-molecular disulfide bonds that are difficult to form correctly in the bacterial intracellular environment. To solve this problem, we fused the hEGF gene with a small ubiquitin-related modifier gene (SUMO) by synthesizing an artificial SUMO-hEGF fusion gene that was highly expressed in Origami (DE3) strain. The optimal expression level of the soluble fusion protein, SUMO-hEGF, was up to 38.9% of the total cellular protein. The fusion protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and cleaved by a SUMO-specific protease to obtain the native hEGF, which was further purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The result of the reverse-phase HPLC showed that the purity of the recombinant cleaved hEGF was greater than 98%. The primary structure of the purified hEGF was confirmed by N-terminal amino acid sequencing and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy analysis. Using the method of methylthiazoletetrazolium, the mitogenic activity on Balb/c 3T3 cells of the purified hEGF was comparable to that of commercial hEGF. 相似文献

Purification of recombinant human epidermal growth factor secreted from the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The gene encoding human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was expressed as a fusion protein with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae-derived prepro alpha-factor leader in the methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha. The recombinant hEGF(1-53), when secreted by H. polymorpha, rapidly cleaved to hEGF(1-52) by carboxy-terminal proteolysis, resulting in the accumulation of C-terminal-truncated hEGF(1-52) in the culture medium. To solve this problem, we constructed a H. polymorpha mutant in which the KEX1 gene coding for carboxypeptidase ysc(alpha) was disrupted. The extent of C-terminal proteolysis of hEGF was significantly reduced when this kex1 disruptant was used as a host strain. After 24 h of shake-flask culture, most of the hEGF secreted by the kex1 disruptant remained intact, whereas more than 90% of the hEGF secreted by the wild-type was C-terminally cleaved. The recombinant hEGF was purified to >98% purity by two sequential steps of preparative scale anion exchange chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC. The authenticity of purified hEGF was confirmed by HPLC, N-terminal amino acid sequencing, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectroscopy analyses. 相似文献

An improved procedure for production of human epidermal growth factor from recombinant E. coli 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
An improved procedure for the fermentation and purification of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was developed. Recombinant Escherichia coli HB-101 [lacUV5omp08hEGF] harboring plasmid lacUV5omp08hEGF encoding hEGF was used in fermentation to increase levels of hEGF. Medium composition, and the levels of inoculum, inducer (isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside) and ampicillin were optimized with respect to volumetric fermentation of hEGF. As a result, the hEGF concentration reached a high value of 242 mg l(-1) and the amount of heterogeneous protein decreased by 62% compared with that before optimization in batch fermentation. High-quality hEGF was purified from the fermentation culture by centrifugation, salting-out, resuspension, recentrifugation and finally gel chromatography on a Grad-iFrac System using Sephadex G-50 superfine. The purity of hEGF and the total yield were more than 94% and higher than 36%, respectively, and SDS-PAGE of the purified hEGF demonstrated a single band corresponding to an hEGF standard. In particular, a very important phenomenon was found, i.e. that the amount of heterogenous protein in fermentation broths cultured in media with high concentrations of lactose is far less than that cultured in media with high concentrations of glucose. 相似文献

Previously, we have reported cloning of human epidermal growth factor gene from Huh-7 cells and its extracellular expression in Pichia pastoris. The presented work is a detailed report regarding molecular characterization of Huh-7 cells-derived hEGF expressed in Pichia pastoris with special reference to its glycosylation profiling and bioactivity studies. Densitometric scanning of SDS-PAGE separated extracellular proteins from hEGF recombinant Pichia pastoris strain indicated that about 84% of the extracellular proteins were glycosylated. Size exclusion chromatography using Superdex 75 prep grade column was successfully utilized to separate fractions containing glycosylated and non-glycosylated extracellular proteins. In dot blot assay, hEGF was detected in both glycosylated and non-glycosylated fractions. Bioactivity assays revealed that both glycosylated and non-glycosylated fractions were bioactive as determined by cell viability assay. It was also observed that hEGF present in non-glycosylated fraction was relatively more bioactive than hEGF present in glycosylated fraction. 相似文献

Four synthetic genes encoding the signal sequences of Escherichia coli enterotoxins, ST-I, ST-II, LT-A, and LT-B, were incorporated into vectors for expression and secretion of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) in E. coli. Except for the ST-I signal peptide, these were correctly processed, releasing hEGF from the cytoplasm. The amount of hEGF produced was conveniently monitored with HPLC. The highest level of secretion was obtained with the host carrying the plasmid containing the ST-II signal peptide. The signal peptidase cleaving site in the ST-I signal sequence was determined and found to differ from those previously proposed. 相似文献

Summary We applied immunohistochemical procedures to detect hEGF in salivary glands and pleomorphic adenomas of salivary-gland origin using a polyclonal hEGF antiserum and a monoclonal antibody against hEGF synthesized by applying the synthetic gene technique using Escherichia coli. In normal salivary glands, hEGF was mainly localized in the ductal system (i.e., intercalated, striated, and excretory ducts). The staining intensity and intracellular localization exhibited some variation depending on the fixative used. When a polyclonal hEGF antiserum was used for immunostaining, slight background staining was observed in sections prepared using the fixatives tested. Therefore, precise localization of hEGF was obtainable only in formalin-fixed sections using the monoclonal antibody against hEGF. In pleomorphic adenomas, positive hEGF staining was seen on the luminal side of tumors and in cells of ductal origin; no reactivity was present on the outer side of tumors or in cells of myoepithelial origin. Occasionally, long, spindleshaped tumor cells and chondroidally changed tumor cells also exhibited positive staining for hEGF. 相似文献

We purified human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) and hEGF fragments from a benzoic acid precipitate of the materials not adsorbed to silica gel in 330 liters of human urine by a relatively brief, simple, and efficient method employing sequential batch absorption to and stepwise elution from CM-cellulose and DEAE-cellulose, Bio-Gel P-10 chromatography in 50 mM HCl, and three reverse-phase HPLC steps for final resolution and purification of hEGF components. Recovery of hEGF was 29%. Eight apparently homogeneous hEGF components were recovered, each of which had similar activities in a homologous hEGF radioimmunoassay and an EGF radioreceptor assay using human placental membranes. Amino acid composition analysis indicated that there were four pairs of components that represented intact 53-amino acid hEGF, hEGF-(1-52), hEGF-(1-51), and hEGF-(1-50); intact hEGF accounted for one-third of the total materials recovered. Automated Edman degradation of each component for at least 10 cycles revealed a single amino acid sequence identical to that proposed for human beta-urogastrone. Similar immunoreactive hEGF components were observed in similar proportions in freshly voided urine, indicating that they were not artifacts of the purification process. Thus, multiple forms of fully biologically active hEGF (i.e., beta-urogastrone) can be relatively easily and efficiently purified from large volumes of human urine. 相似文献

Characterization of a high-molecular-weight form of epidermal growth factor in an extract of human urine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We purified from a side fraction of the commercial preparation of urokinase from large volumes of human urine a high-molecular-weight (HMW) form of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF). Sequence analysis of the amino terminus of the intact molecule and of two tryptic fragments and carboxypeptidase Y analysis revealed the molecule to correspond to residues 828-1023 of the hEGF precursor predicted by the nucleotide sequence of human renal hEGF mRNA, with hEGF forming its carboxyl terminus. HMW hEGF bound poorly to concanavalin A-agarose, quite avidly to wheat germ lectin-agarose, and completely to phenyl boronate-agarose, suggesting that it was O-glycosylated. Sephacryl S-200 chromatography of freshly-voided urine revealed mostly hEGF, with smaller amounts of a much higher molecular weight hEGF, but little material that was the size of the HMW hEGF we characterized. The large fragment we characterized presumably is cleaved from the larger form by enzyme(s) present in urine during the collection, storage, and processing of urine. We have confirmed that hEGF is synthesized as a large precursor molecule, as predicted by the nucleotide sequence of hEGF mRNA. 相似文献

The phoA expression system is an efficient one and is successfully used in foreign gene expression. In a previous study, it was found
that pH during the expression phase had a significant effect on extracellular hEGF production under control of the phoA promoter by Escherichia coli DA19, an acetate-tolerant strain of E. coli DH5α, in a chemically defined medium, but the level of hEGF production was only 75.5 mg/L. E. coli DB15 is another acetate tolerant mutant of DH5α. In the present study, production of hEGF under control of the phoA promoter by DB15 was further investigated. When transition from the growth phase, where phosphate was abundant, to the expression
phase where phosphate was limited, was performed based on cell density, the extracellular hEGF reached 165 mg/L, twice that
when transition was based on dissolved oxygen. Furthermore, adding 0.22 g/L of CaCl2 during the growth phase, further increased hEGF production to 228 mg/L, which is 3-fold the level produced by DA19 (pAET-8)
cultured in the same medium. 相似文献

Abstract Batch and fed-batch production of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was studied in an E. coli secretary expression system. By using MMBL medium containing 5 g/L glucose, controlling the temperature at 32°C and maintaining the dissolved oxgen level over 20% saturation, a high yield of hEGF (32 mg/L) was obtained after an 18 hr batch cultivation with 0.2 mM IPTG induction at mid-log phase. Three different glucose feeding strategies were employed to further improve hEGF productivity in a bench top fermentor. Compared with the batch results, hEGF yield was improved up to 25.5% or 28.1%, respectively by intermittent or pH-stat glucose feeding, and up to 150% improvement of hEGF production was achieved by constant feeding of 200 g/L glucose solution at a rate of 0.11 mL/min. The effects of further combined feeding with other medium components and inducer on hEGF yield were also examined in the benchtop fermentor. This work is very helpful to further improve the productivity of extracellular hEGF in the recombinant E. coli system. 相似文献

To improve the accumulation of recombinant human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) in transgenic tobacco, a highly effective
vector was constructed and transformed via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The hEGF content in transgenic tobacco was up to 0.3% of the total soluble protein. Using the Vero E6 cell expansion assay
and the MTT method for cell proliferation, hEGF produced by transgenic tobacco significantly stimulated Vero E6 cell expansion
and proliferation, the same as commercial hEGF products. 相似文献

Synthesis and secretion of an epidermal growth factor (EGF) by human fibroblast cells in culture 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
M Kurobe S Furukawa K Hayashi 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》1985,131(3):1080-1085
Human fibroblast (WS-1) cells in culture synthesized and secreted an epidermal growth factor which cross-reacted with human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) purified from human urine. hEGF secreted by the cells (designated as WS-1 EGF or fibroblast EGF) and hEGF isolated from urine (designated as urine EGF) were immunologically indistinguishable. The molecular weight of fibroblast EGF estimated by gel filtration was identical with that of hEGF from urine. On chromatofocusing chromatography, fibroblast EGF was eluted mainly at pH 4.26 as a sharp symmetric peak with a minor peak at pH 4.62, like urine EGF. These results suggested that EGF synthesized and secreted by human fibroblast cells is an identical molecule to that of hEGF in human urine. 相似文献

Secretion of recombinant human epidermal growth factor into the periplasm in Escherichia coli cells]
N V Batchikova I B Al'tman S V Lutsenko V A Smirnov I V Nazimov L G Eshkind E A Siniagina A V Azhaev 《Bioorganicheskaia khimiia》1992,18(6):766-776
Secretion vectors were constructed in which a synthetic gene of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) joined with a gene coding for the leader peptide to one of the E. coli outer membrane major proteins (OmpF) is controlled by tac promoter. The increase of the hEGF yield was achieved by the multiplication of the gene copies. The hEGF in bacterial cells was secreted into periplasm. The recombinant protein was isolated by means of reverse phase chromatography as almost homogenous preparation (greater than 98%), the yield being 7 mg/l bacterial culture. The sequence of twenty-five N-terminal amino acid residues of the isolated hEGF coincided with that of the natural protein. The preparation proved to be biologically active. 相似文献

Human epidermal growth factor is a polypeptide hormone having many diverse biological functions. This paper first presents the recovery results of human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) immediately from the fermentation broth of recombinant Escherichia coli by using an expanded bed system (a couple of STREAMLINE25 and ÄKTA explorer 100). The influences of operational conditions such as linear flow rate, gradient length of NaCl concentration, pH and sample concentration on the purification performances of hEGF in expanded and packed bed modes with STREAMLINE DEAE resin were systematically evaluated. After optimization, the practical recovery procedure in the expanded bed mode was carried out on a scaled-up system under the conditions of linear flow rates of 183 cm/h (upward) and 37 cm/h (downward), sample volume of 300 ml and column bed height of 13.8 cm which yielded a primary product of hEGF from the cell-free supernatant containing hEGF after centrifugation at 4000 rev/min for 15 min. As a result, the hEGF concentration in the product was higher than 20% (w/v), the concentration factor was greater than 4.3 and the total yield was higher than 80%, respectively. At the same time, the results of hEGF recovery by using expanded bed adsorption (EBA), packed bed chromatography (PBC) and salting out were compared. The results show that the procedure of hEGF recovery in expanded bed adsorption has some advantages over the other two procedures, because of its higher concentration factor, recovery yield, productivity, hEGF concentration in the primary product and shorter duration of purification run. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was obtained from a mouse hybridoma cell line. The purified monoclonal antibody from the ascites fluid of a mouse injected with one of the cell lines was specific for hEGF and did not cross-react with mouse EGF (mEGF). Its Kd value for hEGF was 1.4 X 10(-9) M. This monoclonal antibody inhibited the biological activities of hEGF, including its binding to the receptor of BALB/3T3 cells and its stimulation of DNA synthesis in the cells, but did not affect the activities of mEGF. The monoclonal antibody completely inhibited DNA synthesis stimulated by human urine from a patient without a tumor, but only partially inhibited the stimulatory activity in urine from a tumor-bearing patient. 相似文献
