Abstract

Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (hG-CSF) is a hematopoiesis agent that principally affects the differentiation of neutrophils in the bone marrow. At present, recombinant hG-CSF is used successfully in the treatment of chemotheraphy-induced neutropenia and its indication has been expanded to bone marrow transplantation and aplastic anemia. In this study, we have constructed rhG-CSF secretion plasmid pYRC1 in which OmpA signal sequence/hG-CSF gene was expressed under the control of the T7 promoter. rhG-CSF produced in E. coli BL21 (pYRC1) grown at $37{\circ}C$ was found in aggregates. However, 15% of the periplasmic protein was soluble rhG-CSF when the E. coli BL21 (pYRC1) was cultured at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 h in the modified MBL medium containing 10 g/$\ell$ glucose with 10 $\mu$M IPTG induction. The production of soluble rhG-CSF in E. coli BL21 (pYRC1) using fed batch culture was also studied. In the fed batch culture system, the final yield of rhG-CSF produced from E. coli BL21 (pYRC1) was increased from 4.4 mg/$\ell$to 24 mg/$\ell$by controlling the specific growth rate from $0.43 h^{-1}$ to $0.14 h^{-1}$, and optimizing the time of induction.

인간 과립구 성장인자(hG-CSF)는 골수에서 생산되는 단백질로 호중구의 분화 및 생성을 촉진시키는 역할을 한다. 현재 재조합 hG-CSF는 암화학요법에 의한 호중구감소증, 골수이식시 호중구 감소증, 재생불량성 빈혈에 수반되는 호중구 감소증 등으로 적응증이 확대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 OmpA signal sequence를 삽입하여 인간 과립구 성장인자(hG-CSF)가 분비발현되도록 고안된 T7 promoter 에 의하여 발현되는 pYRCl 발현백터를 제조하였다. E. coli BL2l (pYRCl) 발현시 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양하는 경우 많은 양의 봉입체(aggregates)를 형성한다. 이에 비하여 $10\mu$M ucose를 포함하는 변형된 MBL배지에서 10 g/$\ell$IPTG를 유도물질로 7시간동안 $25^{\circ}C$에서 배양하였을 때 전체 periplasm단백질의 15%가 soluble rhG-CSF이었다. 또한, 유가식 배양방법을 사용하여 E. coli BL2l(pYRCl)에서 soluble rhG-CSF의 생산조건을 조사하였다. 유가식 배양에서 rhG-CSF의 발현량이 비증식속도를 $0.43 h^{-1}$ 에서 0.14 $h^{-1}$ 으로, 유도 배양시간을 최적화함으로써 rhG-CSF의 발현량이 4.4mg/$\ell$에서 24mg/$\ell$ 로 증가하였다.
