초록

에리스로포이에틴은 인간 적혈구분화의 조절인자로 작용한다. 유전자 재조합 인간에리스로포이에틴(rhEPO)은 동물세포에서 생산되고 있는 재조합 당단백질의 하나이며 당쇄부분이 전체 분자량의 40%를 차지한다. 시알산 함량은 체내약물 투여 지속기간과 직접적인 연관이 있어 시알산 함량은 의약용 당단백질의 중요한 성질로 여겨진다. 본 연구에서는 CHO세포 배양액에 시알산 생합성 전구물질인 N-acetylmannosamine(ManNAc)과 sialidase 저해제인 2-deoxy-2,3-hyo-N-acetylneuraminic acid(NeuAc2en)를 첨가하여 rhEPO의 sialic acid함량을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 특히, 배양액에 20 mM ManNAc/0.5 mM NeuAc2en를 첨가할 때 대조구에 비하여 약 10배의 시알산 함량이 증가하였으며 세포성장이나 배양액의 rhEPO생산량에는 영향이 없었다. rhEPO의 정제시 시알산 함량이 11∼15%인 다당쇄 rhEPO분획을 얻었으며, 배양액 내에 20 mM ManNAc와 0.5 mM NeuAc2en를 동시에 첨가함으로 대조구에 비하여 시말산함량이 높은다당쇄 rhEPO의 생산성이 50% 증가하였다.

Erythropoietin is a main regulator of human erythropoiesis. Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) is one of the glycoproteins produced in animal cells, and it has oligo saccharides chains which comprise about 40% of its molecular mass. Because the content of sialic acid can extend circulatory lifetime, the high degree of sialylation is often a desirable feature of therapeutic glycoproteins. In this study, the sialylation of rhEPO produced by chinese hamster ovary cell culture was maximized by supplementing the culture medium with N-acetylm-annosamine (ManNAc), a direct intracellular precursor for sialic acid synthesis and 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc2en), a sialidase inhibitor. Feeding of 20 mM ManNAc/0.5 mM NeuAc2en into culture medium increased the sialic acid content by nearly tenfold compared with unsupplemented medium. This effect was achieved without affecting the cell growth or product yield. Six erythropoietin fractions differing in sialic acid content, ranging from 11∼15% of EPO, were identified from chinese hamster ovary cell-derived rhEPO by mono Q column chromatography. It was found that, at 20 mM ManNAc/0.5 mM NeuAc2en feeding, productivity of hyper-glycosylated EPO increased up to 50%, compared with the unsupplemented medium.
