人血管内皮细胞生长因子在毕赤酵母中的高效表达

血管内皮细胞生长因子 (Ｖａｓｃｕｌａｒｅｎｄｏｔｈｅｌｉａｌｇｒｏｗｔｈｆａｃ ｔｏｒ,简称ＶＥＧＦ)是一类多功能细胞因子 ,特异地作用于血管内皮受体ＫＤＲ和Ｆｌｔ 1,促进新生血管形成并增加微血管的渗透性1] 。ＶＥＧＦ在生理和病理 ,如肿瘤血管发生、伤口愈和、类风湿性关节炎、胚胎发育及冠心病等过程中起着非常重要的作用。天然ＶＥＧＦ是由两条糖蛋白链形成的二聚体。目前发现ＶＥＧＦ至少有 5种亚型 ,根据单体残基数不同分别为ＶＥＧＦ12 1,ＶＥＧＦ14 5,ＶＥＧＦ165,ＶＥＧＦ189和ＶＥＧＦ2 0 6,其中ＶＥＧＦ12 1和ＶＥＧ…

High-level Expression of Human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Pichia pastoris

The gene of VEGF165 was subcloned into the P. Pastoris secretive expression vector pHIL-S1 and the recombinant expression plasmid pHIL-Sl-VEGF165 was constructed. After transformation into yeast GS115, the positive transformants were obtained through phenotype selection and DNA Dot blotting. After induction by methanol, soluble dimer VEGF16s were expressed and secreted into the culture supernatant with its expression occupying 47% of the total protein in the supernatant. Dot blot analysis showed that the expressed human VEGF165 could bind to its receptors flt-1 and KDR.
