Yu Y, Chen R, Chen X, Wang J, Liu C. Regulating the bioactivity of non-glycosylated recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 to enhance bone regeneration. Bioact Mater 2024; 38:169-180. [PMID: 38711759 PMCID: PMC11070760 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 05/08/2024] Open
Abstract
Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is the predominant growth factor that effectively induces osteogenic differentiation in orthopedic procedures. However, the bioactivity and stability of rhBMP-2 are intrinsically associated with its sequence, structure, and storage conditions. In this study, we successfully determined the amino acid sequence and protein secondary structure model of non-glycosylated rhBMP-2 expressed by an E. coli expression system through X-ray crystal structure analysis. Furthermore, we observed that acidic storage conditions enhanced the proliferative and osteoinductive activity of rhBMP-2. Although the osteogenic activity of non-glycosylated rhBMP-2 is relatively weaker compared to glycosylated rhBMP-2; however, this discrepancy can be mitigated by incorporating exogenous chaperone molecules. Overall, such information is crucial for rationalizing the design of stabilization methods and enhancing the bioactivity of rhBMP-2, which may also be applicable to other growth factors.

Abstract
Human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP-2) plays a leading role in the process of osteogenesis and is one of the key components of osteoplastic materials, ensuring their high osteoinduction. In order to obtain a homodimeric form hBMP-2 using the E. coli expression system, a number of problems associated with refolding in vitro and purification from monomer and oligomeric forms must be solved. The developed method for co-expression of the target protein with chaperone proteins makes it possible to obtain the biologically active homodimeric form of hBMP-2 in vivo. Purification with simple ion-exchange sorbents without the use of denaturing reagents affecting the structure of the protein molecule provides a chromatographic purity of the product of at least 97%. The expressed hBMP-2 was identified by Western blotting and the LC-ESI-TOF mass spectrometry confirmed its molecular weight of 26052.72 Da. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that recombinant hBMP-2 has a native secondary structure.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is a promising osteogenic agent in tissue engineering. BMP-2 is usually expressed in Escherichia coli owing to the high yield and low cost, but the protein is expressed as inclusion bodies. Thus, the bottleneck for BMP-2 production in E. coli is the refolding process. Here, we explored the effects of the refolding buffer composition on BMP-2 refolding. The BMP-2 inclusion body was solubilized in urea and subjected to refolding by the dilution method. Various additives were investigated to improve the BMP-2 refolding yield. Nonreducing SDS-PAGE showed that BMP-2 dimers, the presumably biologically active form, were detected at approximately 25 kDa. The highest yield of the BMP-2 dimers was observed in the refolding buffer that contained ionic detergents (sarkosyl and cetylpyridinium chloride) followed by zwitterionic and nonionic detergents (NDSB-195, NP-40, and Tween 80). In addition, sugars (glucose, sorbitol, and sucrose) in combination with anionic detergents (sodium dodecyl sulfate and sarkosyl) reduced BMP-2 oligomers and increased the BMP-2 dimer yield. Subsequently, the refolded BMP-2s were tested for their bioactivity using the alkaline phosphatase assay in osteogenic cells (SaOS-2), as well as the luciferase reporter assay and the calcium assays. The refolded BMP-2 showed the activities in the calcium deposition assay and the luciferase reporter assay but not in the alkaline phosphatase activity assay or the intracellular calcium assay even though the dimers were clearly detected. Therefore, the detection of the disulfide-linked dimeric BMP-2 in nonreducing SDS-PAGE is an inadequate proxy for the bioactivity of BMP-2.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are secreted cytokines belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. New therapeutic approaches based on BMP activity, particularly for cartilage and bone repair, have sparked considerable interest; however, a lack of understanding of their interaction pathways and the side effects associated with their use as biopharmaceuticals have dampened initial enthusiasm. Here, we used BMP-2 as a model system to gain further insight into both the relationship between structure and function in BMPs and the principles that govern affinity for their cognate antagonist Noggin. We produced BMP-2 and Noggin as inclusion bodies in Escherichia coli and developed simple and efficient protocols for preparing pure and homogeneous (in terms of size distribution) solutions of the native dimeric forms of the two proteins. The identity and integrity of the proteins were confirmed using mass spectrometry. Additionally, several in vitro cell-based assays, including enzymatic measurements, RT-qPCR, and matrix staining, demonstrated their biological activity during cell chondrogenic and hypertrophic differentiation. Furthermore, we characterized the simple 1:1 noncovalent interaction between the two ligands (KDca. 0.4 nM) using bio-layer interferometry and solved the crystal structure of the complex using X-ray diffraction methods. We identified the residues and binding forces involved in the interaction between the two proteins. Finally, results obtained with the BMP-2 N102D mutant suggest that Noggin is remarkably flexible and able to accommodate major structural changes at the BMP-2 level. Altogether, our findings provide insights into BMP-2 activity and reveal the molecular details of its interaction with Noggin.

Abstract
Compound separation plays a key role in producing and analyzing chemical compounds. Various methods are offered to obtain high-quality separation results. Liquid chromatography is one of the most common tools used in compound separation across length scales, from larger biomacromolecules to smaller organic compounds. Liquid chromatography also allows ease of modification, the ability to combine compatible mobile and stationary phases, the ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses, and the ability to concentrate samples. Notably, the main feature of a liquid chromatography setup is the stationary phase. The stationary phase directly interacts with the samples via various basic mode of interactions based on affinity, size, and electrostatic interactions. Different interactions between compounds and the stationary phase will eventually result in compound separation. Recent years have witnessed the development of stationary phases to increase binding selectivity, tunability, and reusability. To demonstrate the use of liquid chromatography across length scales of target molecules, this review discusses the recent development of stationary phases for separating macromolecule proteins and small organic compounds, such as small chiral molecules and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Abstract
This study prepared nanocapsules (NCs) with excellent self-controlled antimicrobial activity at pH 6-7 and humidity 45-100%, conditions in which most bacterial and fungal strains thrive. The nanocapsule substrate (NC@SiO2) was 676 nm in diameter, and the ligand-grafted capsule (NC@SiO2-g-MAA) was 888 nm. The large surface area and outer ligand brush of the NCs induced a rapid, self-controlled antibacterial response in the pH and humidity conditions needed for industrial and medical applications. Ligand-brush NCs containing an anionic antimicrobial drug had a rapid release effect because of the repellent electrostatic force and swelling properties of the ligand brushes. Controlled release of the drug was achieved at pH 6 and humidity of 45% and 100%. As many carboxylic acid groups are deprotonated into carboxylic acids at pH 5, the NC@SiO2-g-MAA had a high negative charge density. Carboxylic acid groups are anionized (-COO-) at pH 6 and above and push each other out of the capsule, expanding the outer shell as in a polymer brush to create the release behavior. The surface potential of the NC intermediate (NC@SiO2-MPS) was -23.45 [mV], and the potential of the capsule surface decreased to -36.4 [mV] when the MAA ligand brushes were grafted onto the surface of the capsule intermediate. In an antimicrobial experiment using Escherichia coli, a clear zone of 13-20 mm formed at pH 6, and the E. coli was eradicated completely at pH 6 and pH 7 when the humidity was 100%.

Development of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (nartograstim) production process in Escherichia coli compatible with industrial scale and with no antibiotics in the culture medium. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 105:169-183.

Abstract
The granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic cytokine that has important clinical applications for treating neutropenia. Nartograstim is a recombinant variant of human G-CSF. Nartograstim has been produced in Escherichia coli as inclusion bodies (IB) and presents higher stability and biological activity than the wild type of human G-CSF because of its mutations. We developed a production process of nartograstim in a 10-L bioreactor using auto-induction or chemically defined medium. After cell lysis, centrifugation, IB washing, and IB solubilization, the following three refolding methods were evaluated: diafiltration, dialysis, and direct dilution in two refolding buffers. Western blot and SDS-PAGE confirmed the identity of 18.8-kDa bands as nartograstim in both cultures. The auto-induction medium produced 1.17 g/L and chemically defined medium produced 0.95 g/L. The dilution method yielded the highest percentage of refolding (99%). After refolding, many contaminant proteins precipitated during pH adjustment to 5.2, increasing purity from 50 to 78%. After applying the supernatant to cation exchange chromatography (CEC), nartograstim recovery was low and the purity was 87%. However, when the refolding solution was applied to anion exchange chromatography followed by CEC, 91%-98% purity and 2.2% recovery were obtained. The purification process described in this work can be used to obtain nartograstim with high purity, structural integrity, and the expected biological activity. KEY POINTS: • Few papers report the final recovery of the purification process from inclusion bodies. • The process developed led to high purity and reasonable recovery compared to literature. • Nartograstim biological activity was demonstrated in mice using a neutropenia model.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the use of animal-component free chromatographic materials for the efficient purification of the human fibroblast growth factor 2 (hFGF-2). hFGF-2 is produced in Escherichia coli and purified via three different chromatography steps, which include a strong cation exchange chromatography as a capture step, followed by heparin affinity chromatography and an anion exchange chromatography as a polishing step. The affinity chromatography step is based on the animal-derived material heparin. Chemically produced ligands provide a viable alternative to animal-derived components in production processes, since they are characterized by a defined structure which leads to reproducible results and a broad range of applications. The alternative ligands can be assigned to adsorber of the mixed-mode chromatography (MMC) and pseudo-affinity chromatography. Eight different animal-component free materials used as adsorbers in MMC or pseudo-affinity chromatography were tested as a substitute for heparin. The MMCs were cation exchangers characterized with further functional residues. The ligands of the pseudo-affinity chromatography were heparin-like ligands which are based on heparin's molecular structure. The alternative methods were tested as a capture step and in combination with another chromatographic step in the purification procedure of hFGF-2. In each downstream step purity, recovery and yield were analysed and compared to the conventional downstream process. Two types of MMC - the column ForesightTM NuviaTM cPrimeTM from Bio-Rad Laboratories and the column HiTrapTM CaptoTM MMC from GE Healthcare Life Sciences - can be regarded as effective animal-component free alternatives to the heparin - based adsorber.

Abstract
Plants have recently received a great deal of attention as a means of producing recombinant proteins. Despite this, a limited number of recombinant proteins are currently on the market and, if plants are to be more widely used, a cost-effective and efficient purification method is urgently needed. Although affinity tags are convenient tools for protein purification, the presence of a tag on the recombinant protein is undesirable for many applications. A cost-effective method of purification using an affinity tag and the removal of the tag after purification has been developed. The family 3 cellulose-binding domain (CBM3), which binds to microcrystalline cellulose, served as the affinity tag and the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) and SUMO-specific protease were used to remove it. This method, together with size-exclusion chromatography, enabled purification of human interleukin-6 (hIL6) with a yield of 18.49 mg/kg fresh weight from leaf extracts of Nicotiana benthamiana following Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression. Plant-produced hIL6 (P-hIL6) contained less than 0.2 EU/μg (0.02 ng/mL) endotoxin. P-hIL6 activated the Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcriptional pathways in human LNCaP cells, and induced expression of IL-21 in activated mouse CD4+ T cells. This approach is thus a powerful method for producing recombinant proteins in plants.

The major biological purpose is the inhibition of the coagulation cascade to maintain the blood flow in the vasculature. These properties are employed in several therapeutic drugs. Heparin’s activities are associated with its interaction to various proteins. To date, the structural heparin-protein interactions are not completely understood. This review gives a general overview of specific patterns and functional groups which are involved in the heparin-protein binding. An understanding of the heparin-protein interactions at the molecular level is not only advantageous in the therapeutic application but also in biotechnological application of heparin for downstreaming. This review focuses on the heparin affinity chromatography. Diverse recombinant proteins can be successfully purified by this method. While effective, it is disadvantageous that heparin is an animal-derived material. Animal-based components carry the risk of contamination. Therefore, they are liable to strict quality controls and the validation of effective good manufacturing practice (GMP) implementation. Hence, adequate alternatives to animal-derived components are needed. This review examines strategies to avoid these disadvantages. Thereby, alternatives for the provision of heparin such as chemical synthesized heparin, chemoenzymatic heparin, and bioengineered heparin are discussed. Moreover, the usage of other chromatographic systems mimetic the heparin effect is reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AmbLOXe is a lipoxygenase, which is up-regulated during limb-redevelopment in the Mexican axolotl, Ambystoma mexicanum, an animal with remarkable regeneration capacity. Previous studies have shown that mammalian cells transformed with the gene of this epidermal lipoxygenase display faster migration and wound closure rate during in vitro wound healing experiments. RESULTS In this study, the gene of AmbLOXe was codon-optimized for expression in Escherichia coli and was produced in the insoluble fraction as protein aggregates. These inclusion bodies or nanopills were shown to be reservoirs containing functional protein during in vitro wound healing assays. For this purpose, functional inclusion bodies were used to coat cell culture surfaces prior cell seeding or were added directly to the medium after cells reached confluence. In both scenarios, AmbLOXe inclusion bodies led to faster migration rate and wound closure, in comparison to controls containing either no AmbLOXe or GFP inclusion bodies. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that AmbLOXe inclusion bodies are functional and may serve as stable reservoirs of this enzyme. Nevertheless, further studies with soluble enzyme are also necessary in order to start elucidating the exact molecular substrates of AmbLOXe and the biochemical pathways involved in the wound healing effect.

Abstract
The cystine knot disulfide pattern has been found to be widespread in nature, since it has been detected in proteins from plants, marine snails, spiders and mammals. Cystine knot proteins are secreted proteins. Their functions range from defense mechanisms as toxins, e.g. ion channel or enzyme inhibitors, to hormones, blood factors and growth factors. Cystine knot proteins can be divided into two superordinate groups. (i) The cystine knot peptides, also referred to - with other non-cystine knot proteins - as knottins, with linear and cyclic polypeptide chains. (ii) The cystine knot growth factor family, which is in the focus of this article. The disulfide ring structure of the cystine knot peptides is made up by the half-cystines 1-4 and 2-5, and the threading disulfide bond is formed by the half-cystines, 3-6. In the growth factor group, the disulfides of half-cystines 1 and 4 pass the ring structure formed by the half-cystines 2-5 and 3-6. In this review, special emphasis will be devoted to the growth factor cystine knot proteins and their proregions. The latter have shifted into the focus of scientific interest as their important biological roles are just to be unravelled.
