Description

Double-target fusion protein, coding gene, vector or host cell and application and expression and purification method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, in particular to a double-target fusion protein, an encoding gene, a vector or a host cell and application and an expression and purification method thereof.
Background
Fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF21) is one of the FGF family members, a novel metabolic regulatory factor that acts specifically on liver, adipose and pancreatic islet tissue. Research shows that FGF21 has the functions of lowering blood sugar and blood fat, improving insulin resistance, protecting pancreatic island beta cell and other glycolipid metabolism regulation. Therefore, the compound has great potential in the clinical application of various metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, fatty liver and the like. However, clinical trials find that FGF21 analogues do not have significant blood glucose improving effects in diabetic patients, which may be related to the activity and in vivo stability of designed FGF21 mutants, so that genetic engineering, functional fusion or chemical modification of FGF21 is becoming a hot point of research in recent years.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a ghrelin produced by endocrine cells in the ileum. GLP-1 is expressed from the glucagon gene in 2 biologically active forms, GLP-1(7-37) and GLP-1(7-36) amides, differing in only one amino acid sequence, with about 80% of the circulating activity of GLP-1 arising from GLP-1(7-36) amides. GLP-1 helps to control food intake to reduce body weight, since it inhibits gastric emptying and reduces intestinal motility. And GLP-1 also has many other biological properties and functions, for example GLP-1 can play roles of reducing blood fat and blood pressure, thereby protecting cardiovascular system. GLP-1 is unstable in vivo and is easy to be hydrolyzed by DPP-4 enzyme, so that the enhancement of the stability and the activity of GLP-1 to enhance the drug effect has important significance in the field of biological pharmacy.
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are artificial polymers formed by connecting VPGXG pentapeptide repeat sequences in series, wherein X is other amino acid except Pro, have temperature-sensitive reversible phase transition characteristics, are soluble in a solution below the phase transition temperature and are condensed in a solution above the phase transition temperature, and the process is reversible. Therefore, the ELP fusion protein can be separated and purified by a simple centrifugation method, and the purification efficiency can be equivalent to that of affinity chromatography. In addition, since ELP is synthesized based on in vivo protein sequences, it has good biocompatibility and low immunogenicity, and has been widely used in the field of application of drug carriers.
FGF21 and GLP-1 exert the effect of regulating blood glucose and blood lipids through corresponding receptors on different target cells or different receptors on the same target cell. If the functions of the two can be effectively combined and generate a synergistic effect, the blood sugar can be controlled, the fat can be decomposed, and the weight can be reduced, so that the synergistic effect has obvious advantages compared with the single FGF21 or GLP-1 analogue in the treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and the like.

example 1: construction, expression and purification of recombinant fusion protein
(1) Construction of fusion protein expression vectors
Designing a fusion protein GLP1-ELP-FGF21 Gene (GEF) according to the codon preference of escherichia coli, wherein the amino acid sequence of the gene is shown as SEQ ID NO: 4, respectively. The gene is synthesized by Nanjing Kingsrei company, and Nde I and BamH I enzyme cutting sites are designed at two ends of a target gene. The synthesized vector containing the target gene fragment and pET30a (+) are subjected to double enzyme digestion by Nde I and BamH I respectively, and after the enzyme digestion is finished, the required target fragments are recovered by glue. The fragment of interest was ligated with the prokaryotic expression vector pET30a (+) using T4-DNA ligase in a ligation system of 10. mu.L, mixed well, ligated overnight at 4 ℃ and then transformed into E.coli DH 5. alpha. each. And (3) selecting positive clones, and constructing a recombinant plasmid pET30a-GLP-ELP-FGF21(pET30a-GEF) after enzyme digestion identification.
(2) Expression and purification of fusion proteins
The recombinant plasmid pET30a-GLP-ELP-FGF21 containing the correct sequence was transformed into competent cells expressing the strain BL21(DE 3). Single colonies were picked and inoculated into 20mL LB medium containing Kan (50. mu.g/mL), respectively, cultured at 37 ℃ for 8 hours, inoculated into another 20mL LB medium containing Kan (50. mu.g/mL) at a volume ratio of 1:100, cultured at 37 ℃, when A600 was about 0.35, IPTG was added to a final concentration of 0.25mmol/L for induction, the induction temperature was 30 ℃, the cells were harvested after 5 hours, resuspended in PBS, disrupted, centrifuged, and the supernatant and the precipitate were taken, respectively, and analyzed by 12% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The results show that the GLP-ELP-FGF21(GEF) fusion protein is mostly expressed in the form of inclusion bodies in the Escherichia coli, and the expression amount is moderate (shown in figure 1).
Obtaining a large amount of induced thallus by high-density fermentation, enriching and washing the thallus by a 0.45 mu m-750kD hollow fiber membrane (20mmol/L Tris, 150mmol/L NaCl, pH8.0 buffer solution washing), adding lysozyme (1mg/mL) into the thallus, placing for 30min on ice, homogenizing for 2-3 times at 800bar high pressure with 700-fold ammonia water, until the thallus is completely broken. Enriching and washing the inclusion body by using a 750kD ultrafiltration hollow fiber column (3-5 times of pH 7.0-8.51M urea washing solution for washing and filtering); after the inclusion body is denatured and dissolved by using the urea denatured liquid with the pH value of 7.0-8.58M, the urea renaturation liquid with the pH value of 7.0-8.51M is diluted by 20-100 times, and finally the renaturation liquid is concentrated and replaced by buffer solution through a 5-10kD hollow fiber column to obtain the renaturated fusion protein.
Purifying the renaturated protein by a Q anion exchange chromatographic column, purifying the fusion protein by a step gradient elution mode, analyzing and identifying the obtained fraction by SDS-PAGE, finally purifying the target fraction by a 5-10kD hollow fiber column and replacing a buffer solution to obtain a pure protein, and performing high performance liquid chromatography analysis. The results showed that the purity of the liquid phase of the purified GEF fusion protein was more than 98% (as shown in FIG. 2).
Example 2: GEF fusion protein in vitro stability analysis
The purified GEF fusion protein was sterilized by filtration through a 0.22 μm filter and the protein was left at 37 ℃ for 72 hours. SDS-PAGE analysis shows that the GEF fusion protein does not generate obvious degradation bands after being placed at 37 ℃ for 72 hours (as shown in figure 3), which indicates that the GEF fusion protein has good in vitro stability.
Example 3: GEF fusion protein immunogenicity assays
24 male mice of SPF grade 8 weeks old were selected, randomly divided into a control group (Vehicle), an ELP-F group (elastin fusion FGF21), a GEF group and a G-ELP group (GLP-1 fusion elastin), and administered with the corresponding test substance to the experimental group once at about 8 o' clock each day in the morning, subcutaneously injected with a dose of 2mg/kg, the Vehicle group was injected with PBS of the same volume, administered continuously for 4 weeks, and after 4 weeks, the mice in each experimental group were sacrificed (fasting before night), and blood was sampled from eyeballs to measure the corresponding antibody to the recombinant protein in the serum of the experimental mice.
As shown in FIG. 4, the immunoreactivity of the Positive control group was significant, while the immunoreactivity was not detected in the ELP-F, EGF and G-ELP groups as in the Vehicle group, indicating that neither recombinant protein ELP-F, EGF nor G-ELP-injected mice were immunogenic.
Example 4: study of therapeutic effect of fusion protein on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) model mouse
Experimental animals and breeding: the C57BL/6 mouse and animal experiments were performed in Jiangsu Jiejiaokang Biotech Co.
45 SPF-grade 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice are fed with 60% High Fat Diet (HFD) for 4 months, abnormal body weight is eliminated, and 32 model mice with approximate mean values of blood sugar and body weight are screened and randomly divided into a Vehicle group, an ELP-F group, an EGF group and a G-ELP group, wherein each group comprises 8 mice. Another 8 same-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were used as a Normal control group (Normal group). The test substances are administered to the experimental group about 8.half a day in the morning, subcutaneously, 2mg/kg, and the Vehicle and Normal groups are injected with the same volume of physiological saline for 6 weeks. During the experiment, the patient can eat and drink water freely. During which time the mice were monitored for diet and body weight. 4 weeks after administration, fasting blood glucose levels (6h) and oral glucose tolerance (OGTT) were measured in individual experimental mice. After 6 weeks of administration, each experimental group of mice was sacrificed (fasting overnight), and liver levels of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (ALT), total Cholesterol (CHOL), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of the experimental mice were measured and tissue section staining and inflammation index detection were performed. The experimental data obtained were statistically analyzed.
As shown in FIG. 5, EGF and G-ELP both significantly reduced body weight of mice relative to saline control, while EGF mice controlled more significantly relative to G-ELP and ELP-F.
After 4 weeks of administration, fasting blood glucose and OGTT results of mice in each experimental group are shown in FIG. 6, compared with the normal saline group, fasting blood glucose levels of mice in the ELP-F group, the EGF group and the G-ELP group are remarkably reduced, oral glucose tolerance is remarkably improved, and simultaneously the blood glucose control capability of the EGF group is remarkably superior to that of the ELP-F group and the G-ELP group.
After 6 weeks of administration, the results of serum blood lipid and liver function parameters of mice in each experimental group are shown in fig. 7, compared with the normal saline group, the three protein groups can obviously reduce the levels of AST, ALT, CHOL and LDL-C in the serum of model mice, and the liver function and blood lipid levels of the EGF protein administration group are improved more obviously.
In addition, liver tissue sections of mice of each experimental group were subjected to HE staining and oil red staining, and the tissue sections were scored (from three aspects of steatosis, inflammatory lesions, and ballooning). The judgment standard is as follows: the sum is less than 3 points, namely non-NASH; the total score is more than 5 points, namely NASH is obtained; and 3 points < the total score < 5 points, namely the nondeterministic NASH. Pathological results show (see fig. 8, steatosis (black asterisk), inflammatory lesions (red small triangle), ballooning (blue small triangle), Bar 50 μm), Vehicle high-fat feeding group as a control group, Normal feed as a common feed, ELP-F group, EGF group, and G-ELP group as groups with obvious therapeutic effect on fatty liver, and GEF effect as the best, significantly reduced liver fat vacuole, and almost no vacuole observed under the liver pathological section microscope of EGF group.
According to the method and the results of the above examples, the EGF fusion protein prepared by the invention is discovered to have a treatment effect on the glycolipid flocculation and fatty liver symptoms of NASH diseases remarkably superior to that of the single ELP-F, G-ELP protein through a plurality of indexes of animal experiments, and the fusion protein has good treatment effect and application value in the treatment of metabolic diseases.
In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, the dual-target fusion protein, the encoding gene, the vector or the host cell, and the application, the expression and the purification method thereof, compared with FGF21 and GLP-1 alone, the dual-target fusion protein of the present invention has the effects of longer-acting, more stable and better treatment of obesity, overweight, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, atherosclerosis, liver injury, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, primary biliary cholangitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis and other metabolic diseases; on the other hand, the double-target fusion protein has no side effect of gastrointestinal discomfort and diet decline caused by the GLP-1 treatment process in the treatment process, and has little influence on normal life activities of organisms.
